c.Last night was her birthday, and when he asked what gift she wanted, she shyly proposed dating. Fang Liucheng smiled and told her to wait in the presidential suite at GK Oriental Hotel. She had orig...Chapter 99

You want to take revenge for your woman, okay then. But at least wait until the movie is about to be screened before you do it.

Lin Ning had long been unsatisfied with Bai Xiwen, and he was furious when she turned a good film into one with a wooden doll as its main character. So he tried to mediate, but in the end Ye Nimore money and replaced her. They agreed that within a month, they would reshoot all of Bai Xiwen's scenes.

The movie could be shot from multiple angles, side views, and with movements, which made it very realistic. In the final version, Tan Warming would definitely be the main actress; some shots might have Bai Xiwen’s body or back, but she at most became a body double for Tan Warming.

Ye Nimore money to re-promote the film.

Lin Ning was an overly meticulous director who wouldn't let Bai Xiwen ruin his movie. Therefore, he preferred to cut out her scenes rather than risk ruining everything. Now that something else had happened to Bai Xiwen, he wished someone would replace her. After confirming that they’d reshoot Tan Warming’s part, Lin Ning immediately pulled up the bits and pieces of Bai Xiwen's scenes and cheerfully decided to let Tan Warming take over.

Today was a good opportunity as they were already in the film city. He needed to inform Zhang about taking Tan Warming away from him; luckily his relationship with Zhang was solid, so he could talk to him easily.

Zhang gave a significant smile and said, "Is your promotion for that New Year's movie almost done Are you changing the lead actress at this point Who’s going to pay for another round of publicity"

The one footing the bill would be obvious in their support for Tan Warming.

They were clear-minded people and could see through such matters very clearly.

"Don’t think too much into it. A husband promoting his wife is a perfectly legal relationship." Lin Ning blinked playfully, chuckling softly, "As soon as she has the time, I’ll get her scenes done in two days. Then you can have your movie back for two days, and so on. No one will be held up."

When everyone in the crew heard that Tan Warming was to play in 'Beauty of the City', they all widened their eyes. This New Year's movie was one of this year’s most anticipated blockbusters. After Lin Ning decided to completely revamp it when the main actress broke her leg, he had even changed its name and started a new publicity campaign. All that was left was for someone to fill in as the female lead. Many actors were jealous of Tan Warming getting such an excellent opportunity.

If this gets confirmed, she will definitely become an overnight sensation.

The new actress replacing the former top star Park Soo-won is a hot topic.

The 5203 jewelry series spokesperson playing in Director Lin's highly anticipated film "Beauty of the City" is another topic of discussion.

Xiang Xiang Princess from "Clear Lotus Princess" turning into a character in "Beauty of the City," yet another hot topic.

...

Everyone was envious, but Han Bi wasn't. Given her status and position, she naturally wouldn't be jealous over such trivial matters, although it truly was an excellent opportunity for Nu Ran.

She was不服氣 (unconvinced).

Thinking back to when she first entered the entertainment industry, filled with heartaches as she encountered rejections everywhere. No one cared about her; instead, people threw stones at a fallen well. She had to give up precious things to get what she wanted.

She didn't want this but couldn't avoid it because once you're in this circle, your fate is no longer within your control.

Whereas others desired and longed for such opportunities, so she was very envious of Nu Ran's good fortune.

Since her debut, she hadn't had to take any detours at all.

She had a versatile agent guiding her every step, there was Ye Feimo who spared no expense in promoting and supporting her, even Lin Ning personally invited her for the film. This kind of treatment, Han Bi had never seen such favoritism given to an artist in this industry, not even top stars enjoyed such privileges.

Treatment that even top actresses didn't have.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang frowned and said, "She still has many scenes left. As you know, my schedule is tight; the show needs to air on TV next year and all dates are set. Can't you find someone else"

Lin Ning raised an eyebrow, "Isn't she just a female lead What scenes does she have I need her to play my character instead. Change the script."

"No!" Director Zhang immediately rejected him; he rarely cut any of Warm's scenes.

"Two days, two days each for you and me. That’s settled. I’m even more anxious than you," Lin Ning waved his hand nonchalantly. Director Zhang glared at him but was ignored as usual due to Lin Ning’s strong mannerism. "For two days it's mine, for the other two days, it's yours. Warm will have to work day and night. As for the jewelry commercial, I’ll talk with Mr. Gu, the director, and delay it temporarily since it’s not urgent either way. Within half a month, I hope she can finish her scenes with Bai Xiwen."

Director Zhang wanted to say something but Director Lin raised his hand, "Think about it: my show will be on in December for New Year's release and this girl will definitely attract attention; it’s beneficial to you too. Be at ease, be at ease. It’s a win-win situation."

Director Zhang knew very well that it was indeed a win-win situation, but he couldn’t bear the thought of losing so much time given how tight his schedule already was.

Warm stood by the side, looking left and right. A film director and a TV series director were deciding everything without her input, as if she had no connection to it at all.

They completely excluded her from the decision-making process.

Weakly, Warm asked, "Has anyone consulted my opinion"

Director Lin turned his head and grinned mischievously, "Good girl. What do you think"

Before Warm could speak, Lin Ning’s face darkened in a serious tone: "You’re not allowed to have any opinions. Whatever the director says goes. Listen obediently to your Xia Jing sister; no rebellious thoughts. Understand"

Tears welled up in Warm’s eyes as Cai Xiaojing laughed from the side.

"Director Lin, is this confirmed" If it's confirmed, she needs to change her schedule for the Warm project.

"It’s confirmed. Anning will finalize her contract in a few days and can start filming then. I've seen some good performances from Warm; maybe we don’t need to wait half a month. Good girl, work hard and be your master's money tree," Director Lin said with a wave of his hand, turning to glance at Han Bi. Seeing her sour expression, he laughed, "Oh, Han Bi, who upset you Your face looks terrible."

Han Bi glanced at Warm but didn't respond.

When everyone in the crew heard this news, some congratulated Warm, while most felt jealous of her.

Although the cast got along well with each other, there was still competition among them, especially as Warm's opportunities were truly enviable.

The new actors today are very intelligent; they know how to interact with others. They wouldn't openly offend Warm and might even befriend her, but behind the scenes, all sorts of things would be said about her.

Cai Xiaojing always warned Warm not to trust others too much.

She could sense their intentions to some extent.

Han Bi remarked, "Director Lin, it seems you won’t break your streak of success with this New Year's film. You might have to step down as the director."

Director Lin looked at her and Cai Xiaojing disapprovingly, “When did you start fortune-telling Why not go straight into that instead of acting And why don’t you calculate your own fate first Furthermore, Han Bi, if you want to act in my film, be careful. Do you know how many scenes I cut from Bai Xiwen’s ‘Beauty Topples the City’ I directly made her the extra character. I wouldn't spare anyone's face. As an actor, if you don’t fulfill your duties, you better show some respect or else even as a lead actress, you might only get one fleeting shot in my film.”

He didn’t think Director Lin, known as the ghost talent with scissors, was someone to be trifled with.

Han Bi’s expression changed before she turned elated. Did Director Lin mean that she had a chance to star in "Liang Hongyu" Was this what he meant It seems Noname has taken her words seriously after all.ctions, were getting anxious for them. These two weren't proactive people indeed. Ye Feimo had been in a bad mood lately and seemed to have been triggered by something, making him even colder and less...
