Chapter 492 Character Was Snatched
At this moment, Xu Anran was in the director’s lounge.
The director asked eagerly, “Miss Xu, are you Mr. Shen’s younger sister?” Xu Anran smiled. She did not admit it but did not deny it either. “The Xu and Shen families are close. I’ve known Shen Yu since we were young.” The director immediately understood. Even if Xu Anran was not Shen Yu’s sister, she was still the eldest daughter of the Xu family. She was someone he could offend.
It was just that Shen Yu had said that he wanted to decide who to cast for this role. If the director wanted to sign a contract with Xu Anran, he had to ask Shen Yu first. However, Miss Xu said she did not want a salary and even invested ten million yuan. She just asked to play the role of the male lead’s younger sister.
If the director did not agree, wouldn’t it be equivalent to rejecting ten million yuan?
Just then, the producer walked in and said in a low voice, “When Shen Yu signed the contract, he said that he had already found someone for the role. If we sign a contract with Xu Anran…”
The director advised, saying, “Qiao Xi has never acted before and has no popularity. Xu Anran is an A-list actress. Who can bring us more benefits? Think about it carefully!”
“But Qiao Xi’s acting skills are really good. She’s a university graduate, and she even acts better than Xu Anran. You’ve seen the audition footage too. Everyone thinks she matches—”.
The two of them were discussing in low voices when Xu Zidie suddenly shouted, “Qiao Xi? You’re talking about Qiao Xi?”
The director looked up. “Uh… She’s the original actress for this role.”
Xu Zidie sneered. “She’s a scammer! She scammed Sister Anran and me out of a lot of money. How can such a person who has no acting experience be worthy of snatching the role from Sister Anran? If she acts in this movie, it’ll be completely ruined! Our Sister Anran has a good track record in the box office. Will you choose a newcomer who will ruin the movie or our Sister Anran?!”
Xu Anran said gently, “Zidie.”
Then, she said generously, “I’ve never seen Qiao Xi’s acting, but I don’t think she’s a professional. Without systematic training, how could she act well in a movie… But it’s okay. If you’ve already decided on a role, then forget it. After all, first come, first serve.”
“Sister Anran, why should you give the role to that woman?! You’re the most suitable person for this role. What right does she have to compete with you?”
The director hesitated for a moment. “Miss Xu, I think you’re more suitable for this role.”
After that, Xu Anran’s fans started commenting on the Internet: (An An and Shen Yu are going to film a movie. She’ll be acting as Shen Yu’s younger sister. She’s his younger sister both in the movie and in real life. They’re a strong couple.]
When Gu Yao heard that Qiao Xi was going to act in a movie, he followed over curiously.
Second Young Master Gu once dreamt of becoming a celebrity when he was young. He even participated in auditions at that time, but because he only had a handsome face while his limbs were uncoordinated, he did not know how to sing or dance. His acting was even more awkward, so he eventually gave up.
However, he was still very curious about the filming industry, so he decided to visit the set.
At this moment, Qiao Xi had already memorized all the lines. This was not difficult for her. After all, she was the scriptwriter and had participated in many movies. Although she had gone to the filming location to supervise the filming before, she never once showed her face. She also used a fake name then.
Shen Yu was very satisfied with her acting skills and thought that she was the most suitable candidate, so he signed the contract with her. She was supposed to shoot today.
Qiao Xi had already put on her makeup and clothes. She was waiting, but she did not hear anyone call out to her.
Suddenly, a sharp female voice sounded. “Who are you?! Who allowed you to break into Sister Anran’s dressing room?”
Qiao Xi and Gu Yao looked up and saw three makeup artists storming in aggressively. They pushed Gu Yao away rudely and even pushed Qiao Xi. After making room, they obsequiously invited Xu Anran in.
“Sister Anran, be careful.”
Qiao Xi heard the discussion outside the door.
“Xu Anran is here too! As expected of the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she’s really imposing!”
“The little princess of a rich family! My goddess!”
Xu Anran sat elegantly on the chair. The three makeup artists immediately came forward and helped her dress up. They were careful not to hurt the princess. Qiao Xi frowned. What did this mean?
Gu Yao was about to ask when one of the makeup artists pointed at Qiao Xi angrily.
