Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 22 The role was taken away

After Jiang Li woke up, they went home quickly. As soon as she got home, Li Mubai sent Jiang Li back to her room to rest. Jiang Li went back to bed and took a nap. Just as she was half asleep, she heard several knocks on the door.

"Jiang Li, you can get up and eat now!"

Hearing the news that dinner was ready, Jiang Li suddenly perked up.

"Hey! Coming right up!"

She had pooped out everything she had eaten last night, and hadn't eaten anything this morning as she was busy getting discharged from the hospital, so she was indeed a little hungry now.

Jiang Li hurried out of the room, rushed to the bathroom to wash her hands and face, then ran to the restaurant excitedly. When she saw what was on the table clearly, her expression instantly drooped.

The table was empty except for a big pot of porridge...

"Only white porridge?"

"How about this? Should I serve you abalone, lobster, or crab?"

Jiang Li knew that Li Mubai was deliberately trying to choke her, but she didn't even have the energy to argue. She sat down, propped up her chin and said helplessly, "Just drinking white porridge is tasteless..."

"It seems to be the same..."

Li Mubai thought for a moment and went into the kitchen again: "Wait a minute!"

What! Li Mubai also hid some vegetables!

Jiang Li regained some energy and quickly took a large spoon to fill a bowl of porridge for Li Mubai and a bowl for herself. Then she stirred the porridge with a spoon while eagerly waiting for Li Mubai's dish.

After a while, Li Mubai came out with something in his hand, which looked like canned meat and a bottle of something unknown. Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and in the blink of an eye, Li Mubai had already walked up to her.

"Come on! The soy sauce is yours! The can is mine! Let's eat!"

Li Mubai very generously placed a whole bottle of soy sauce in front of Jiang Li, then opened the can himself and scooped a full spoonful into his own bowl.

"Uh... can we have a discussion..."

Li Mubai refused outright: "No room for negotiation!"

"The doctor told me to eat a light diet, have you forgotten?"

Jiang Li's resentful eyes could kill people, but when she met Li Mubai's ruthless and cold eyes, she could only swallow back her bargaining words.

Under Li Mubai's supervision, Jiang Li stayed at home as a nun for three days without leaving the house. Fortunately, after her insistence and persuasion, her diet structure improved! The types of light food expanded from white porridge to tofu, vegetables and eggs. Although it was still very bland, compared with Li Mubai's original plan to let her drink white porridge for three consecutive days, Jiang Li was very grateful. There is true love in the world! There is true love!

Jiang Li recovered just in time for the crew to start work.

As a worker, she is really dedicated. She waited until the holiday to get sick and went back to work as soon as she recovered. She did not delay her work at all. She deserves an award for love for work and dedication.

After returning to work, everyone said that Jiang Li had lost weight. Her female colleagues all asked her if she had any secret recipe, otherwise how could she lose so much weight in just a few days.

Hahahaha! Jiang Li smiled bitterly and said, "Why else? Because of love!"

You can try eating boiled cabbage, tofu with soy sauce, and boiled eggs for a few days in a row! I guarantee you will become as thin as her!

When Qin Sisi heard that Jiang Li had gastroenteritis and fell ill after having supper that day, she felt guilty for a moment, always thinking that it was because she had brought Jiang Li to eat unclean things that made Jiang Li sick. She brought delicious food from home in different ways every day, hoping to help Jiang Li make up for the pounds she had lost during her illness.

With friends like this, what more could I ask for?

Originally, life seemed pretty good when I started working, but I didn't expect that the entertainment industry is so complicated and things that were promised could change in an instant.

Qin Sisi had only been filming for two days when the assistant director informed her that she was replaced and Emily was parachuted in to play the role of the second female lead.

It is said that Emily is the lover of a certain capital tycoon. She brought in money this time. She knew that she could not take on the role of the female lead as a newcomer, so she chose the role of the female second. Therefore, under the operation of capital, Emily played the female second, and Qin Sisi changed from the female second to her maid.

Qin Sisi was of course feeling uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to do it as she was alone and powerless. She was alone in the entertainment industry, with no background or power. The law of the jungle was the law of survival in nature, and she had no choice but to passively accept it.

If it was just that her role was taken away from her, it would be fine, but this Emily was arrogant and always disliked her. She was bullying her blatantly, saying that her makeup stole her limelight, and that she didn't react well enough to act. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was obviously her own lack of acting skills, but she always blamed others.

It is obvious that Emily is jealous that Qin Sisi is prettier than her, the second female lead, but she can't squeeze her out, so she can only bully Qin Sisi openly or secretly.

Jiang Li felt sorry for Qin Sisi and almost couldn't help but spit out a lot of words, but Qin Sisi didn't want to cause trouble and suppressed Jiang Li several times. Jiang Li knew Qin Sisi's concerns and couldn't say or do much, so she could only let her be more careful. On the other hand, she would occasionally complain to the director, asking him to keep an eye on Emily and not push her too far.

Little did Hao Zhen know that he also had a hard time speaking out. Emily was backed by a big capitalist, and if he didn't give her a role to play, the big capitalist would withdraw his investment. The stage had already been set up, and he couldn't just give up halfway and leave more than a hundred people in the crew without food.

Hao Zhen was so angry about teaching such a rookie to film that he almost had breast hyperplasia. Emily auditioned with the male lead for the first time. Wow, her lines were so halting, weak, and bland that even an AI could read them more vividly than her. What's more terrible is that she punctuated the lines randomly and made many mistakes in pronunciation. The male lead corrected her while acting with her, sweating and helpless. After being corrected so many times, Emily even got angry and said that the second female lead had too many lines and she couldn't remember them. If she couldn't remember them, she would just recite them and let the dubbing actor dub them later.

Hao Zhen was speechless. He had seen bad performances before, but he had never seen such a bad performance. But what else could he say? It was better to let the voice actors dub the scenes than to repeat the NGs on the set.

Jiang Li also watched a short clip on the spot and thought that this person was really talented. He couldn't even memorize three or four paragraphs of lines, but it was understandable! She was indeed very busy. She had to be busy with physical connections with the sponsor every night. Staying up late was the most tiring and especially affected her memory.

Jiang Li simply didn't want to pay attention to this kind of talent. She felt that looking at her any longer would lower her IQ. If Emily hadn't been pushing her too far and being overbearing, she really wouldn't want to pay attention to her.

That day, Jiang Li had just come back from packing up the props when she heard the news that Qin Sisi had fallen into the water.

Qin Sisi and Emily were filming by the pond and somehow they suddenly fell into the water. Qin Sisi couldn't swim, but fortunately the water was not deep and the staff nearby rescued her in time, so they were safe in the end.

When Jiang Li rushed to the dressing room, Qin Sisi had already changed her clothes and was sitting slumped over, looking pale.

Jiang Li asked: "Are you okay?"

Qin Sisi shook her head slightly.

Jiang Li asked again: "How did you fall into the water so carelessly? Did you lose your balance?"

Qin Sisi opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but finally closed it and nodded slightly.

At this time, Gu Qiu, who had been standing next to him, finally couldn't help but whispered, "Someone saw that Emily deliberately pushed Sisi."

Emily! It's Emily again!

How on earth did Qin Sisi get in her way?! What was she trying to do by doing this and that every day!

Jiang Li was so angry that she turned around and was about to run out to argue with Emily. Qin Sisi saw that something was wrong and quickly stood up and grabbed Jiang Li.

"Lili, don't go!"

Jiang Li was indignant: "She pushed you into the water, and you still swallowed your anger!"

Qin Sisi pleaded: "It's better to have less trouble than more. Forget it."

Jiang Li was so angry that she almost went to heaven: "She stole your role, can you let it go! She changed your costumes, can you let it go! She looked for opportunities to ridicule you, mock you and suppress you, can you let it go! Today she directly took action, can you still let it go? Can you swallow this anger?!"

Qin Sisi clenched her lips and teeth: "What if I don't swallow it? There is someone behind her, and it's not an ordinary person. Just one word from her and I will be in trouble. I may not be able to eat this bowl of rice in the future!"

"Acting is the career I want to pursue my whole life. On this road, I have no other way out except to endure."

"Lili, listen to me. I beg you not to cause trouble for her."

Qin Sisi has been so submissive, and Jiang Li doesn't want to add fuel to the fire and cause trouble for her. After all, young actors have a cheap life, and it is almost normal for them to be bullied and suppressed before they become famous. Even in the era when Jiang Li lived, it was common to put down those who are inferior and praise those who are superior. Before you become famous, no one will treat you as a human being, but after you become famous, you will be surrounded by good people.

Jiang Li didn't end up causing trouble for Emily, but she had already regarded her as a level one enemy in her heart, and wanted to glare at her whenever she saw her.

That day, Jiang Li had made some health-preserving tea and was about to give it to Qin Sisi when she saw someone coming towards her pushing two huge suitcases, looking very tired.

If someone else was carrying such a heavy box, Jiang Li would definitely go over to help, but Jiang Li recognized that this was Emily's chief assistant, who was the number one bully. Jiang Li was reluctant to help such a person.

Probably tired of pushing, the chief assistant suddenly stopped, frowned, shook his hands, and murmured, "It's just a few days of filming, and you're carrying so many things, how pretentious!"

Jiang Li knew that she was complaining about Emily. This Emily was indeed amazing, but she came here to film a scene. Today she brought four boxes, and tomorrow she brought two boxes, as if she was moving the whole house here.

Seeing Jiang Li coming over from the front, the chief assistant's eyes suddenly lit up, raised his chin and said, "Hey, you so-and-so, come over and help."
