Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In her previous life, Lu Zhen had also experienced such a thing when she was filming Beauty. Although she was the protagonist at that time, Ding Zhi felt that her acting skills could not support some emotional scenes, so he deleted many scenes.
Lu Zhen was very unconvinced at that time. During that period of time, she almost ate and slept while thinking about Beauty. Later on, because Lu Zhen excelled in a scene, Ding Zhi was very surprised. Ding Zhi added some deleted scenes. Even so, Lu Zhen’s original scenes were reduced to two-thirds. At the same time, the other supporting actress’s scenes increased a lot.
After the movie was broadcasted, the fans of the supporting actress even marketed this matter. They said that Lu Zhen’s scenes were similar to the supporting actress’s. This movie should actually be a movie with two female leads.
This was a little serious because Ding Zhi’s movie back then was going to impact the Hundred Flowers Awards. Lu Zhen also hoped that this movie could let her win the first Best Actress award in her life.
However, if there were two female leads in this drama, the possibility of her winning the award would be greatly reduced.
Although Lu Zhen’s acting skills back then were very smart, she was not that skilled. Some of the details were not as good as the supporting actress. Lu Zhen was indeed very afraid of the word “double female lead”.
While the “double female lead” was being discussed on the Internet, the Weibo officials suddenly quickly removed the relevant topic from the trending list. It was also because of this that the “double female lead” did not have much of an impact in the end. When this movie was sent to the film festival, Lu Zhen was still the only female lead.
Lu Zhen was not stupid. She knew that it was very likely that someone was secretly helping her. Otherwise, the topic of the “double female lead” would not have been suppressed so quickly.
In her previous life, Lu Zhen thought that Lu He had helped her resolve these troubles, but after knowing Lu He’s true colors, she knew that it was impossible for Lu He to have done this.
Lu He was about to promote Lu Rou, but Lu Zhen had always been very popular. There were even nobles who gave Lu Zhen all kinds of good resources.
Lu Rou was probably very jealous of Lu Zhen at that time. She definitely wouldn’t let Lu He solve Lu Zhen’s troubles. She probably wanted Lu Zhen to be said to be a supporting actress in Beauty by the netizens.
Lu He had always treated Lu Zhen as a tool to earn money. Naturally, he was unwilling to spend money to remove the trending topics that were disadvantageous to Lu Zhen on Weibo. How could he bear to spend that money?
In the end, Lu Zhen guessed that the “benefactor” might have helped her.
After sorting out her memories from her previous life, Lu Zhen took a deep breath.
In this life, she would not meet a “benefactor” who would help her. She had to rely on her own efforts to become the only female lead of “Beauty”. She had to make Director Ding Zhi 100% satisfied!
“Miss Lu Zhen, everyone is very curious about your boyfriend’s identity. Are vou really not going to tell everyone who he is?”
In the interview room, the emcee handed the microphone to Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen smiled and shook her head. “I’m an actress. I hope everyone will pay more attention to my work. For example, the recently popular ‘The Great Wall of War’. My boyfriend is a very low-key person. I don’t want him to receive too much attention. Otherwise, he will feel uncomfortable.
Lu Zhen looked very serious, as if she really had a low-key boyfriend.
The emcee seemed a little disappointed. He asked a few more questions related to The Great Wall of War. When the interview was about to end, the emcee still did not give up and returned to the original topic.
“Miss Lu, the netizens are looking forward to the news about your relationship.
Even if you don’t publicize that man’s identity, you can still keep a low profile and show off your love on Weibo, right? The netizens all say that to be able to win your heart, he must be a very handsome and charming man, so everyone is especially interested in him.”
Lu Zhen was a little helpless. She did not expect the netizens to still pay so much attention to her non-existent “boyfriend” after so long.
“Then… let’s talk about it in the future.” Looking at the emcee’s expectant and eager gaze, Lu Zhen was too embarrassed to continue rejecting him coldly.
However, she did not intend to really satisfy the netizens’ curiosity. Because she didn’t have a boyfriend at all! Where could she find a man to show off his love to the netizens?
After ending the interview, Lu Zhen rubbed her aching waist and took out her phone. Just as she was about to contact Xiaoxiao, a message from a stranger suddenly appeared on her phone.
“Lu Zhen, come to Hall 3 on the second floor of the Beijing Art Museum at 11 pm tomorrow. I want to see you..”
