Chapter 301 The Clown is Her, She's Tried a Trick
After Zhao Peier got out of the car, disheveled, she ran to the film set's restroom to clean the unidentified white stains on her collar and skirt.
As she rinsed her fingers under the tap, feeling nauseous, she couldn't help but think of Tang Xiaoge's handsome face.
Is this alright now...?
She's made such a big sacrifice, Director Feng will definitely fulfill her wish and give her the opportunity to play the lead role.
Thinking of this, Zhao Peier's joy deepened, and she even hummed a tuneless melody to the sound of the water washing her hands.
Outside the dressing room on the set of "The Commander's Wife," Ning Yao's phone was missing. She searched everywhere, picking up her coat and pants that were in the corner, but still couldn't find her phone.
When Zhao Peier returned, she saw Ning Yao packing her things on the bench outside the lounge, and her joy grew even stronger.
What's the use of being arrogant and domineering? Now look what happened, he offended Director Feng and has to pack his bags and leave.
Seeing Zhao Peier return to the bench, several supporting actresses called out to her, asking curiously, "Where did you go just now?"
"I didn't go anywhere, I just went to the restroom!"
After saying that, Zhao Peier couldn't help but laugh, and her overall spirits were exceptionally high.
She pretended not to care and glanced at the female director, who was the 'number one candidate for the female lead,' not far away.
Who do you think will replace Luo Xiyao?
"Huh? What actress will replace Luo Xiyao?"
"Isn't that the woman that Director Feng brought over there? Isn't she the actress who replaced Luo Xiyao? I've never seen her before, is she a newcomer too? Sigh, why do they always let these inexperienced newcomers act with Senior Tang? It really lowers his standards."
Several supporting actresses cast strange glances at Zhao Peier beside them, not understanding what she was saying.
"I guess Director Feng won't let this woman play the female lead this time. He just called me over and said that I've been chosen as the female lead."
"Sigh, I didn't want to either, but Director Feng insisted that I try for the female lead role, saying that the female lead role was more suitable for me, and that I had more chemistry with Senior Tang when we stood together. I was so embarrassed by what he said."
Zhao Peier covered her face, feigning shyness; her ears were indeed red.
Especially the thought of acting alongside Tang Xiaoge, of appearing on screen with her, and playing lovers together.
The feeling of being close to an idol is just too wonderful. Coupled with Tang Xiaoge's appearance, it's no exaggeration to call her a heartthrob.
But after hearing Zhao Peier's words, the supporting actresses were all stunned.
They looked at Zhao Peier and hurriedly asked, "Peier, did Feng Jianren tell you all this?"
Zhao Peier frowned: "Why are you calling the director by his full name? Yes, Director Feng just told me that himself, how could it be false?"
Supporting actress: "How could that be? How could he possibly give you the lead role?"
Zhao Peier was displeased: "What do you mean by that? Am I not worthy of being the female lead?"
She thought to herself: These people must be jealous of her, jealous that she can act alongside Tang Xiaoge, that's why they're so sour.
The supporting actresses suddenly seemed to understand something, and when they looked at Zhao Peier, they looked at her with a hint of sympathy.
Zhao Peier didn't want to chat with these minor actresses anymore; she wanted to find the main actress and give her a good roasting to vent her anger!
Luo Xiyao was so arrogant back then, making her apologize to her makeup artist in front of so many people.
Ha, she'll see now what right Luo Xiyao, an actress who was kicked out of the production team, has to laugh at her.
Ning Yao folded up her open coat and put it back in its place, but was interrupted by a voice, and her arm froze in mid-air.
Turning her head, she saw Zhao Peier standing beside her at some point, a smug smile on her face.
"Oh, are you packing your things to go back to school?"
"Should I ask someone for help? It's so pitiful. Sigh, we've only filmed four or five episodes so far..."
Ning Yao narrowed her eyes, put down the clothes, and replied in a cool voice, "Who wants to go back to school? The afternoon's scenes haven't been finished yet."
"Why are you still filming? The female lead has been replaced, and you're still pretending. What, are you afraid people will laugh at you if they find out?" Zhao Peier sneered, her eyes scanning Luo Xiyao up and down, her expression becoming increasingly disdainful.
A defeated opponent, yet he dares to be so arrogant in front of her.
She wanted to pack her things and leave quietly, but it wasn't that easy. She insisted on making a scene so that the whole crew would know that Luo Xiyao had been removed from the cast by Director Feng!
Ning Yao was completely bewildered by Zhao Peier's words. She didn't understand why Zhao Peier had suddenly come to her and started acting crazy.
She ignored Zhao Peier and continued searching for her phone, while her assistants helped Ning Yao look for it.
Seeing this, Zhao Peier pouted and immediately took out her phone to call Zhao Xiaojing.
She deliberately raised her voice and said smugly, "Hey, Auntie, could you send a driver over here? Yes, I'm on set. Our leading lady is about to pack up and go back to school. I thought since we've worked together, I should give her a ride."
All the staff present were drawn to Zhao Peier's voice, and without exception, they were all completely bewildered.
At this moment, the female director picked up a megaphone and shouted to the people on set, "Tang Xiaoge, Luo Xiyao, the two leads, take your positions! Filming is about to begin. Assemble in three minutes!"
Zhao Peier was stunned and suddenly couldn't make a sound. She stiffly turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.
The woman brought by Feng Jianren was actually standing in the director's position, sitting on a small stool, adjusting the camera screen.
“She…” Zhao Peier ignored Zhao Xiaojing’s questioning voice on the other end of the phone, raised her finger and pointed at the female director, her eyes full of shock.
"How could she be a director? Where's Director Feng?"
A supporting actress who had a good relationship with Zhao Peier jogged up to her and whispered a reminder in her ear.
"Feng Jianren has been replaced. He is no longer the director of our crew. Our director now is Lu Qingshan."
As if struck by lightning, Zhao Peier's legs immediately went weak, and she stumbled and was about to fall.
She naturally lost her grip on the phone, and it fell straight to the ground from beside her ear, instantly shattering the screen.
"What? How is that possible? How could Director Feng be replaced? What kind of film crew changes directors?"
"Then...then I've just given Director Feng...Feng Jianren...he lied to me!"
Zhao Peier muttered to herself in a very soft voice, so no one could hear what she was saying.
Her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she looked up and stared intently at Ning Yao, demanding loudly, "If the female lead wasn't replaced, why did you pack your things and leave the set?"
Ning Yao happened to find her phone at that moment. Because it was on silent, she couldn't hear the phone when she made a call, which made it really hard for her to find it.
Upon hearing Zhao Peier's question, she raised an eyebrow and held up her phone, her voice cold and devoid of any emotion.
"I was looking for my phone. Who told you I was packing up to leave the set?"
"Then you colluded with Feng Jianren to deceive me. You made him lie to me, causing me to... causing me to have sex with him in the car. This is a crime! You've committed a crime, do you know that?!" Zhao Peier shouted the last part almost in tears.
"I thought that after sleeping with that old man, I could become the female lead in the film crew and work with Senior Tang as the female lead. How dare you lie to me? I gave you my body!"
Ning Yao then realized that Feng Jianren had also tricked Zhao Peier when he left the film set.
Feng Jianren was certainly despicable, but Zhao Peier brought it upon herself.
If she hadn't been greedy and hadn't harbored those unrealistic fantasies, she wouldn't have been deceived.
A hint of sympathy welled up in Ning Yao's eyes as she looked down at Zhao Peier, who was slumped on the ground, her beautiful features cold and indifferent.
How could there be such a stupid person as Zhao Peier? It was just an empty promise, and she actually believed it?
This entertainment industry is really dirty. In order to get the lead role, some people are actually willing to submit to a greasy old man.
Does Zhao Peier have no sense of shame at all? Everyone else avoids her like the plague, yet she still eagerly offers herself up.
