The crew, while familiar with Si Fuqing’s name and were fans of her beauty, mostly hadn’t seen her in action before.
Now, their opinions were unanimous.
“When she smiled at me just now, my heart skipped a beat.”
“If I were the emperor, why bother with a harem of three thousand? Just Si Fuqing would be enough.”
“I really need to question Lin Wansu’s acting skills now. If Qingqing can act like that, why does she act like a robot?”
“Exactly, and Si Fuqing wasn’t even in costume, but her performance didn’t feel out of place at all. Only someone with her beauty could make six men willingly bow down to her.”
Sweet, innocent and naive.
The key is being sweet and innocent.
Lin Wansu managed to portray only the naive part.
Director Xu, with a stiff face, turned to Sang Yanqing, …Untrained?”
Sang Yanqing:
Hadn’t she told Si Fuqing to hold back?
Si Fuqing raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, indicating she had indeed held back.
Sang Yanqing massaged her temples with a headache.
Alright.
She had miscalculated.
Sang Yanqing bit her lip and smiled, “Natural talent, Director Xu, you know, our artist is the sweet and obedient type.”
By this time, Director Xu was somewhat regretful, sighing, “Why didn’t I discover you earlier?”
There was no way to change the female lead, as half of the drama had already been filmed, and Lin Wansu brought funding to the project.
“Director Xu, better not to have discovered me,” Si Fuqing casually put on her sunglasses, “This script isn’t to my taste.”
Only a Mary Sue could have written such a plot.
Director Xu, however, laughed, “You really dare to say it.”
He wasn’t fond of shooting this type of historical idol drama either.
But the audience loved it.
Lin Wansu also planned to use this drama to gain an edge over her competition with Bie Yunxi.
“Let’s keep in touch,” Director Xu handed a business card to Sang Yanqing, “Ms. Sang, I see great potential in your artist. Your insight is remarkable. I look forward to you discovering the next Tong Luoyun.”
Sang Yanqing just smiled and said nothing.
As they left, Director Xu turned back, pointing at Lin Wansu’s nose, “Although I didn’t grab a random passerby for you, I chose someone untrained in acting. Look at how Si Fuqing acted, then look at your performance. What exactly did you act, can you tell me?”
“Such a simple role and you can’t act it? You want to film movies? You want to outshine your classmates? Hurry up and learn from what she just did. If you can’t act, watch and learn!”
Lin Wansu’s face turned from pale to purple to red, feeling unprecedented humiliation.
The entire crew was watching her, making her feel utterly disgraceful.
The comparison to Si Fuqing made the mockery not just damaging but deeply insulting.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Wansu removed her headpiece and retreated to a rest area.
Alone, she dialed a number.
“Hello?” A gentle male voice answered, “Did you finish today’s shoot?”
“Not yet,” Lin Wansu sounded aggrieved, “Jianian, you won’t believe who I ran into today. It was that Si Fuqing. She’s just too much. Isn’t this bullying me on purpose?”
After hearing Lin Wansu’s account, Xu Jianian was genuinely surprised, “She can act?”
“That’s called acting? Her agent said she was just being herself. Act what?” Lin Wansu fumed, “I’ve been in a bad state these days, and she just had to show up, isn’t that a challenge?”
Xu Jianian pressed his lips together, “She probably didn’t mean it that way.”
Anyone but Si Fuqing, what if you end up liking her?”
Xu Jianian laughed, “Bie Yunxi works too?”
Lin Wansu’s face stiffened, “Can’t we stop the ship hype?”
“Susu, we’re both in the rising phase of our careers,” Xu Jianian patiently explained, “You don’t want a romance to ruin both of our careers, right?”
“Alright,” Lin Wansu genuinely liked Xu Jianian and relented, “Anyway, I took her magazine cover, that’s revenge enough. What does it matter if Sang Yanqing is her agent? She’s been out of the industry for years and is outdated.” Xu Jianian frowned, “You took her magazine cover?”
“What’s the big deal? I’ll take more from her in the future,” Lin Wansu said, “Jianian, the Shen family is having a wedding this month, you should come too..”
