Chapter 2495 - 2285: Can You Give Me an Autograph?_2
Chapter 2495: Chapter 2285: Can You Give Me an Autograph?_2
However, ever since what happened yesterday, and after hearing some gossip from Zhang Lijiao about Feng Yuzhi, the image of Feng Yuzhi in Shen Jiayan’s heart had completely collapsed. And today, before Shen Jiayan could even finish three sentences, Feng Yuzhi started persuading her to give up the role of the female lead, making the last bit of goodwill Shen Jiayan had for Feng Yuzhi disappear completely.
"Sister Feng, it’s only the first audition now, the roles for actors haven’t been decided yet. It’s not up to me to say in this matter, ultimately it’s Director Zhou who has to decide." Shen Jiayan was also smart, not wanting to offend Feng Yuzhi directly, she passed the responsibility to Director Zhou.
"Of course, I know that, but we all know that Zhou likes using some amateurs. Maybe he just happens to fancy a young person like you who doesn’t have much fame. But don’t be foolish at that time. If he casts you as the lead actress, then you just play the part, but if your performance is bad, you’ll be criticized, and then how will you survive in the entertainment industry?" Feng Yuzhi kindly advised Shen Jiayan.
Chapter 2286: I Will Definitely Grasp the Opportunity Well
After hearing what Feng Yuzhi said, Shen Jiayan felt a slight anger in her heart, so she said to Feng Yuzhi with a hard tone, "If Director Zhou is really willing to give me this opportunity to play the leading role, I will definitely grasp it well, and I will also give my all, so as not to disappoint Director Zhou."
After hearing what Shen Jiayan had said, the smile on Feng Yuzhi’s face suddenly disappeared without a trace, like a rabbit quickly hiding after seeing an eagle flying in the sky. Her previously kind eyes suddenly became sharp and vicious, and her tone turned as cold as the northwestern wind in winter: "So, you’re planning to compete with me for the lead role, huh?"
"Who the lead actress is chosen to be is up to Director Zhou, it’s up to him to decide." Shen Jiayan was scared to look into Feng Yuzhi’s eyes, but even though her eyes looked elsewhere, she still answered defiantly.
"Alright then, I’ll go find Director Zhou right now, and I’ll make him give me the lead role instead, and make you play my maid, washing my feet every day, emptying my chamber pot, and getting slapped by me!" Feng Yuzhi stomped her foot viciously, and after delivering her harsh words to Shen Jiayan, she left the room to find Director Zhou.
"It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, you’ve offended her on the second day of joining the crew, how are you going to shoot with her every day in the future? Let me tell you, to snatch roles and screen time, she’ll use any despicable means. Be careful even when walking at night!" Zhang Lijiao sighed and shook her head as she said to Shen Jiayan.
"Is it really that scary, Sister Jiao?" Shen Jiayan still hadn’t realized the seriousness of the issue.
"You’ll know just how scary she can be after you’ve suffered at her hands." Zhang Lijiao said to Shen Jiayan.
After leaving the room where she spoke with Shen Jiayan and Zhang Lijiao, Feng Yuzhi went straight to Director Zhou’s interview room, kicked the door open, and stood furiously in front of Director Zhou without saying a word.
Although it was the first time Director Zhou worked with Feng Yuzhi, he had heard about her from other director friends.
So, when Feng Yuzhi stormed in with an angry face, Zhou Yuanzhi was not very surprised, but waved his hand and told the other staff in the meeting room, "You all go out."
The interview had just been halfway, and the staff present were a bit puzzled, but they obediently followed Director Zhou’s words and left the meeting room.
"So, Miss Feng, what are you dissatisfied with?" Director Zhou asked Feng Yuzhi directly.
"Director Zhou, I know you love using these unknown newcomers, but you can’t just use any newcomer. Look at this Shen Jiayan you’re using, no acting skills, no fame, no looks, no figure. I really don’t know what it is about her that appeals to you, or what I’ve done that makes me any worse, what makes her fit for the lead role, and me only fit for the second lead?" Feng Yuzhi questioned Zhou Yuanzhi.
"Miss Feng, don’t be impulsive, let’s talk it over calmly, there’s no need to get so angry, come on, have a seat and let’s discuss." Zhou Yuanzhi, his mouth dry from the interviews, swallowed and said to Feng Yuzhi.
"I am not being impulsive, I just feel that your choice, Director Zhou, is really unwise. Just pull someone off the street and ask them, who is more suitable to be the lead, me or that Shen Jiayan?" Feng Yuzhi spat words so close to Zhou Yuanzhi’s face.
"Miss Feng, why should a big star like you compete for resources with a newcomer? I have my reasons for choosing Shen Jiayan, not because she’s superior in any aspect over you, understood?" Zhou Yuanzhi patiently reasoned with Feng Yuzhi.
"Director Zhou, are you planning to dismiss me with just one line of having your reasons? Shen Jiayan has only done some ads and trashy web dramas, I’ve never even heard of her, and now you’re telling me you want her as the lead in your next movie? Isn’t that a joke? You treat an unremarkable actress as the lead and me as the second lead, what happens to my face?" Feng Yuzhi’s tone grew stronger, her eyes widening, her voice sharper, her face contorted, her demeanor completely unlike the noble, elegant, pure star image in dramas.
