Chapter 831: Sarcasm
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Susie stood in front of the dressing table, her assistant next to her began to flatter her. “Miss Susie, those reporters looked like they were going to chew you up and spit you out. It’s ridiculous.”
“Lin, don’t spout nonsense.” Susie scolded angrily.
“Miss Susie, I’m just speaking the truth.” The assistant said with grievance. “Those reporters swarmed you as soon as they saw you even when there were other people around. But it’s also expected since anything Miss Susie does nowadays becomes big news. After your last movie, everyone called you the national goddess. Your competence and popularity are clear to all. Who else would they swarm if not you?”
“Lin, didn’t you hear what I said?” Susie spoke again but there was no real reprimand in her tone.
“Miss Susie, you’re just too kind. You only went out with your friends like any normal person and they wrote you up like that. Someone must have engineered this so you couldn’t become the female lead in the new movie. Some people are just despicable.” Susie’s assistant continued to speak up for her.
“It’s fine. We won’t know the result until the end. Being the female lead isn’t that easy.” Susie sat in the chair to wait for a makeup artist to help her with her makeup. She glanced at Gu Huanhuan knowingly when she said that.
Gu Huanhuan looked back at Susie innocently. Was Susie implying that it was her?
As there were only a few people in the dressing room, and Susie sounded weird when talked about the female lead, the sarcasm in her last sentence especially obvious...
Therefore, the investors wouldn’t take the risk and excluded Susie from the female protagonist role.
Actually, Director Guan had always had his eye on Gu Huanhuan. He thought that she was very versatile and could portray the female protagonist’s temperament well.
It was just a fact that the overconfident person didn’t know.
The first day of filming went quite well because Gu Huanhuan was in top form. Most of her scenes were done in a single take.
On the other hand, Susie kept making silly mistakes, which was unacceptable for a perfectionist director like Director Guan.
As a result, they were slightly behind schedule.
Sister Gao arrived when it was almost time to wrap up for the day.
“How is it?” Sister Gao was busy today, so another assistant was taking care of Gu Huanhuan.
“It’s alright. I feel good.” Gu Huanhuan said with a smile.
As she spoke, she looked at her phone and then frowned. Why did she have two missed calls? She checked the caller IDs and found the number familiar.
