Bab 40: An Mu Sets a Trap and Bai Yujie Falls Into It
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Yujie hurried to the Hazy Starlight Club and found out that Feng Ziqian was not there after inquiring at the front desk.
She was so angry that she called An Mu, but she did not answer.
Amid her desperation, she suddenly remembered that she had a scene to shoot.
Although the role of Qiong Hua did not have many scenes, it was still a rare opportunity since Direction Huang was the director.
Bai Yujie rushed back hastily, and just like that, three hours had passed.
Just in time for her to see the last scene.
All her instincts told her that the scene-setting that was full of aesthetic values and Qiong Hua's stunning attire would make this character famous!
Although there was only one episode, she would definitely be the talk of the town, and her popularity would increase!
Bai Yujie instantly became madly jealous.
That was her role!
Bai Yujie drowned in anger, and she rushed forward without thinking.
A stinging slap brought everyone back to reality, away from that dreamy and beautiful love story.
An Mu inhabited and disengaged from the performance quickly. Her face was burning and painful, but she did not move. She just stood there, and her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with scheming intention.
As she expected, Director Huang was the first one to be pissed. "Who's this? What's going on here? Where's the crew? Have they all gone to eat shit?"
Someone came to Director Huang Dao and whispered to his ear. "Director Huang, this is the actress who was supposed to play Qiong Hua's role."
"What actress? Isn't Qiong Hua there?" Director Huang roared and walked forward, bypassing the cameras. "What happened? Call the police immediately. Someone attacked the actress!"
An Mu remained silent, but her eyes turned to Bai Yujie.
Unsurprisingly, Bai Yujie recovered from the daze and instantly made herself look pitiful. "Director Huang, this should be my role. Who is she? I had arrived at the scene when I received a call from her and had to go away, then later I found out that nothing was going on. She must have plotted to grab my role deliberately."
Damn! Bai Yujie was definitely not stupid!
Everyone knew that Director Huang was strictly incorruptible, and he loathed politics during filming the most.
After hearing that, would he have a good impression on her?
Director Huang knitted his eyebrows, pointed to An Mu, and shouted, "Who allowed her to play Qiong Hua?"
Mr. Yang, the stage crew who was in charge of the rehearsal and arrangement of the actors, trotted all the way there. "Director Huang, it's me." He was the crew who arranged for An Mu's appearance as Qiong Hua.
Bai Yujie looked at Mr. Yang, and said, "Mr. Yang, how much were you bribed by this person that you had the guts to change the actress last-minute?"
Bai Yujie did not have the guts to treat the crew rudely. She really thought that Mr. Yang had received money. Otherwise, how could such an important role be replaced so last minute?
She did not know that An Mu had dressed up carefully to make herself look cold, yet stunning to the people.
Mr. Yang was part of Director Huang's team, and he possessed a good sense of judgment.
At a glance, he was sure that An Mu's appearance in costume would not be inferior to Bai Yujie.
Plus, speaking of acting skills...
Originally, this character was supposed to be played by a pretty face, and that was it. Needless to say, Bai Yujie's acting skill was not the best, but Mr. Yang never expected his move to find him this treasure!
He looked at An Mu and recalled her performance, thus mildly distracting him.
This moment of hesitation led Director Huang to misunderstand that Bai Yujie's prediction was right.
His face sank, and he turned to An Mu. "Huh, you don't even know how to be a decent person. How can you be an excellent actress? Go change your clothes! You've wasted our time today. As for the compensations for our delay and the venue fees, I'll find a lawyer to discuss with you!"
As he said that, he looked at Bai Yujie again. "Now, you can go and put on your makeup."
