Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world
Chapter 283 9: "Subverting" the Entertainment Industry 5
After the partnership between the two was made public, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet, with all kinds of speculations coming one after another. Netizens were curious as to why the highly-regarded gold medal agent Audrey would part ways with the film queen Mu Wanqing and instead join hands with a little-known artist whose reputation was not very good.
What kind of secret is hidden in this?
Mu Wanqing, who had just joined the group, naturally saw the heated discussions online. Xiaojie, who was standing next to her, was also confused and even dissatisfied: "Sister Qing, what is Sister Audrey saying? Didn't she leave you to challenge herself to lead a new person? But this... is too unexpected. And this person is not a newcomer..."
"Xiao Jie!" Although Mu Wanqing felt a little unhappy in her heart, she still maintained a calm expression on her face, "It's better not to worry about other people's affairs. The affairs of the entertainment industry are complicated. We just need to take care of ourselves. As for Audrey, I think she has her own considerations. We have ended our cooperative relationship, so let's not meddle in other people's affairs. Okay, go buy me a cup of coffee."
Xiaojie had no choice but to nod and turn away.
Mu Wanqing frowned and fell into deep thought. She remembered that the little star had been banned by Li's company because she had offended her, and Audrey was one of the participants at that time. But now, why did she make such a decision?
For some reason, she felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, as if something ominous was happening.
Perhaps because Audrey enjoys a high reputation in the industry, she easily got a small role. The director of "The Legend of Liuyun" felt that the work favored by Audrey was undoubtedly a recognition of its quality, even if it was just a small online drama.
But in fact, it was obvious that he was overthinking it.
In the drama, the heroine's mother did not have many scenes, so there was no rush to shoot it and the other parts were shot first. Now that the actors were found, a time was arranged to shoot the heroine's mother's scenes.
After everything was agreed upon, Audrey called Lin Dai and asked her to get ready so that she could pick her up at the film and television city the next day.
The next morning, Audrey drove her own car to the villa to pick someone up, but when she saw Lin Dai coming out, she was stunned.
Before she could say anything, Lin Dai looked at the car in front of her with disdain: "Audrey, you used this shabby car to pick me up. Is this car worth 100,000 yuan? It doesn't match my noble status at all. It's too cheap."
Audrey gently rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "Ms. Lin, this Ford car cost more than 400,000 yuan after all. It's my private car, and I'm your driver. You're so picky. If you were so rich, you could buy yourself a car worth tens of millions. I'd still be your driver willingly."
Lin Dai pouted unconvincedly and got into the car: "Humph, buy it! Hey, what kind of car did you take before?"
Audrey focused on driving while observing the people behind her through the rearview mirror. She said with a hint of boasting, "The cars I rode in before were all arranged by Li's. Can the cars that Li's gave to their boss's wife be bad? They are worth at least tens of millions, and are equipped with luxury limousines and full-time drivers. But now I..."
As she spoke, she glanced at the rearview mirror meaningfully. Lin Dai didn't care about her teasing at all. She adjusted the hem of her skirt elegantly, then sat back comfortably on the seat, admiring her slender white hands. She raised her red lips slightly and said, "Those are nothing. It's a piece of cake. I'll get them."
Audrey shook her head helplessly and smiled, suddenly remembering what she wanted to say just now: "I say, we are going to the crew to film, you are dressed like you are going to walk the red carpet, isn't it too grand? Besides, it's not even May yet, don't you feel cold wearing this?"
Lin Dai rolled her eyes and said with a hint of ridicule, "My dear agent, I am a cultivator! I am almost like a god. How can a god be afraid of the cold? Besides, I am a female star, and female stars are resistant to cold."
After hearing this, Audrey secretly complained in her heart: Female celebrities are resistant to cold? I think they care more about grace than temperature. But immortals... they should also be able to withstand cold!
"Okay, we're almost there. Have you studied the script?" Audrey asked tentatively.
"That crappy script is worth my time studying. Anyone can act it out." Lin Dai curled her lips in disdain.
Audrey didn't want to say anything anymore and just drove obediently. Soon they arrived at the destination. Audrey got out of the car first, and then reluctantly helped someone open the car door.
Lin Dai got out of the car in an elegant manner, and even pretended to comb her hair, which made Audrey couldn't help but complain: What a sin.
There were many film crews shooting in the film and television city at that time, so there were many people coming and going. Many people who saw this scene guessed which crew the actor was from, but no one seemed to know this ostentatious, artificial but indeed beautiful woman. However, many people driving recognized her - the famous agent.
Audrey took Lin Dai to find the director of the "Legend of Liu Yun" crew. When the director saw Audrey coming, he hurried forward. When his eyes met Lin Dai, he was stunned and asked in confusion: "Is this lady really going to play the role you mentioned before?"
"Yes, Director. This is the newcomer Lin Dai. I hope you can give me some advice."
Although the director restrained himself somewhat due to Audrey's presence, the lust in his eyes did not escape the eyes of the two men.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do her makeup and we'll start filming soon."
"Okay, let's go to the dressing room first." Audrey nodded in agreement and took Lin Dai to the dressing room.
When the others saw the two people leaving, someone immediately stepped forward and asked curiously, "Director, who is this?"
"She is here to play the role of the heroine's mother. I don't know how her acting is, but she does fit the image of the most beautiful woman in the play."
Just as he finished speaking, a woman who was dressed up in a play came over, a little dissatisfied, and said coquettishly: "Director, I don't want her to play my mother. I don't think she is suitable. She will overshadow me as the heroine, which will affect the audience's viewing experience."
The director immediately comforted her, "No, she is Audrey's person, so we have to give her some face. But don't worry, you are the best in the crew in terms of clothing and makeup. So I will ask the makeup team to tone down her makeup."
The woman who played the leading female role nodded immediately with satisfaction: "That's pretty good."
When everything was ready, the director explained everything to all the staff and then started filming.
To put it simply, this scene is about filming some scenes of Liuyun's mother and father meeting, knowing each other, and falling in love. Finally, a few years after the heroine was born, the mother was framed and killed. The murderer turned out to be related to the father's family, and this triggered the subsequent story.
As the filming was about to begin, Lin Dai slowly walked into the venue. At that moment, everyone's attention was attracted by her and the whole space seemed to freeze.
She was wearing an exquisite ancient long skirt, the hem of which swayed gently as she walked. Her hair was carefully groomed, with a few strands of hair sticking to her cheeks, adding a bit of natural beauty without any embellishment.
Not only were the others stunned, but the director was also stunned. He quickly walked up and exclaimed: "She is so beautiful. She was already a great beauty before she even got dressed up. Once she puts on this costume, not to mention being the most beautiful woman in this play, she can even play all the beauties."
As he kept looking at Lin Dai, Lin Dai asked him directly: "Director, I want to know if I am playing the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"Yes."
"Then why did I need to smear it? The makeup artist said the director thought my face was too white and needed to be smeared, and he also gave me a very cheap outfit."
The director immediately explained, "It's like this. In order to get better lighting effects, we need to make some adjustments to the makeup. As for the clothes, our crew is a small crew with limited funds, so many aspects are not very good."
Lin Dai smiled lightly, and seemingly nonchalantly stretched out her slender finger and pointed at the heroine beside her: "Then why is she dressed so flamboyantly, like the madam of Yihong Courtyard?"
Upon hearing this, the director paused and looked in the direction of Lin Dai's finger. He saw the female lead Lin Yueran, who had a gloomy face, wearing gorgeous and complicated costumes, sparkling pearls on her head, and her makeup was indeed a bit heavy, which formed a sharp contrast with Lin Dai's pure and unworldly image.
The director cleared his throat and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Ahem, this is mainly because her role setting is quite special. Also, she is the heroine, so her makeup is naturally more prominent."
Lin Dai suddenly realized: "So she is the heroine. No wonder I need to put on makeup. I am so beautiful that I can't give birth to such an ugly thing. It will ruin the show for others."
Everyone felt extremely embarrassed after hearing this, and some were even laughing secretly, especially Lin Yueran, who was so angry that her face became distorted because of her makeup.
She walked forward angrily, with a condescending expression and a teaching attitude, saying, "How can you talk to your seniors like that? Newcomers should act like newcomers. People who don't know how to respect their seniors and are impolite won't make it in this industry. Let me remind you that you can't stay in the entertainment industry just by looking good. Acting skills are the most important. After all, the audience has sharp eyes."
Lin Yueran's words seemed to be for the newcomers' benefit, but her eyes were filled with disdain and provocation, and more jealousy.
Lin Dai just smiled softly after listening, nodded and said in agreement: "You are right, acting does rely on acting skills, but it is useless for you to just say it, do you have it? How did you get your own heroine? Do you want me to tell you?"
At this point, Lin Dai looked at Lin Yueran, then at the director: "What do you think, director?"
The two of them listened to her tone, as if she knew what was going on between them. Their faces instantly became awkward. The director quickly looked at Audrey who was watching the show silently on the side: "Sister Audrey, why don't you just stop caring about her?"
Audrey smiled and said, "She is not only my artist but also my boss. There is nothing I can do."
The director had no choice but to turn around and yell, "All departments, prepare to shoot!"
After saying that, he left and walked behind the machine. Lin Yueran was so angry that she had to leave a harsh word and walked to the side.
Lin Dai was too lazy to argue with her and began to prepare for her first scene.
Lin Dai's first scene was being filmed in front, and Lin Yueran kept glaring at her from behind. Then she heard the praise from the staff next to her, and she was very angry.
At this time, her agent hurriedly walked to her side and whispered in her ear. Lin Yueran's eyes showed shock and then pride.
When the director shouted "cut", just as he was about to step forward to say something, Lin Yueran quickly stepped forward and pulled the director aside, pointing at Lin Dai while whispering something.
The director showed a surprised expression on his face, thought for a moment, and then went to look for Audrey. Perhaps to give Audrey face, he motioned her to go to the corner to talk.
"Sister Audrey, is there something wrong with you as an artist?"
"No."
The director looked embarrassed and asked, "Was this Lin Dai called Lin Huixing before?"
"Yes, so what? Isn't the news on the Internet clear?"
"But the key is that she was banned by the Li family. You should know this better than anyone else. Now you bring her out to film. I... I don't dare to go against the Li family. I may not dare to use her in this play..."
Audrey was stunned at this moment, and then she realized that who would dare to use someone who was banned by Li's family, but...
"Director, have you ever thought about why I would dare to bring her out to film even if she was banned by the Li Group?"
The director guessed what she meant, maybe she had a backer, but he didn't dare to take the risk. No matter how powerful the backer was, could he compare to the Li family!
"Sorry..." The director still refused.
"Audrey!"
The sudden voice startled the two of them. At this time, Lin Dai stood beside them without any hesitation: "If you don't want to shoot, then don't shoot. Otherwise, others will think we want it so much! You don't know how to appreciate it. It's their honor to have me in their group. Let's go."
With that, he turned around and strode away without waiting for anyone else's reaction. Audrey quickly followed behind him. Just as they reached the door to the set, a voice stopped them again: "Wait!"
Lin Yueran quickly chased after him and pointed at Lin Dai: "Take off your clothes. Why do you want to take the crew's things?"
Lin Dai turned around and looked at the clown-like Lin Yueran, mocking her, "Are you blind? Do you think your poor, shoddy crew can have such good costumes? Your best things are all on you, an ugly woman, and you still want to steal my things. What? If you want it, you don't deserve it."
"you!"
Lin Dai looked around at everyone present and said loudly, "I advise everyone here, since this crew's play cannot be broadcast, don't waste your time here accompanying the heroine who slept with him. The director and producer are very tired!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Yueran was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at her viciously and then couldn't help but rush forward. Lin Dai raised her foot and kicked her out. This scene shocked everyone. Some people also secretly exclaimed: Beautiful, this kick was obviously practiced.
"Hey, you all saw it. She was the one who wanted to attack me. I was just acting in self-defense. Don't try to harass me."
After saying that, Lin Dai left with a swagger.
After the people left, others reacted and rushed to help. Lin Yueran held her stomach in excruciating pain and shouted to call the police. Unfortunately, when she was sent to the hospital for examination, there was nothing wrong with her, not even a bruise.
After Lin Dai and Audrey left, neither of them spoke all the way. Audrey drove quietly while Lin Dai kept playing with her cell phone.
Finally, Audrey was worried that she would be unhappy, so she explained: "Before, I picked some small scripts because of this. I thought I would give it a try for my sake, but I didn't expect... How about I go talk to Mu Wanqing?"
Lin Dai did not reply and was still concentrating on playing with her phone. She only put down her phone after hearing the word "done".
He looked up and asked, "What did you say? Looking for Mu Wanqing? No, you must be kidding. Am I someone who will let others bully me? Besides, my performance today was quite effective. It doesn't matter whether I'm filming or not."
"So what were you doing on your phone just now?"
"Oh, nothing. I just created a paparazzi account to reveal some news that netizens would like to see."
"Um, are you talking about Lin Yueran?"
"Yes, not only that, but also the crew, so their drama really can't be broadcast."
Audrey was silent for a while, but continued, "If Li's company continues to ban you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for any crew to take the risk of using you in the near future. I've thought about it and have two options: one is that I go to Mu Wanqing to see if I can convince her to stop suppressing you; the other is that we wait for a while, maybe Li's company will gradually forget about you, an insignificant little star. After all, the trouble you caused was not big at the beginning, and it was President Li who gave the order out of his eagerness to protect his wife."
Lin Dai sat in the back with her legs crossed, looking relaxed and contented. When she heard the last sentence, she looked obviously disgusted: "That's impossible. How can such a small thing stump me? Since no one dares to use it, then we can do it ourselves. Don't you want to be a director? Let's form a team and shoot it ourselves."
Audrey heard this and slammed on the brakes, stopped the car on the road, turned back to look at Lin Dai, and said in surprise: "What are you kidding? Just us?"
Lin Dai smiled mysteriously and nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you when I get back. It's not good to park the car on the main road."
Audrey had no choice but to start the car and drive towards the villa, her heart unable to calm down for a long time.
