Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?
Chapter 88: A Shrewd Scheme
CHAPTER 88: CHAPTER 88: A SHREWD SCHEME
Li Qin’an was worrying about what to do with the upcoming scenes and how to explain to the media and the public, as this was a weekly drama. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but want to yell at the sky, cursing the props master. Why didn’t they check the wires properly? They deserved to be fired!
Hearing a noise, he looked up and saw two unfamiliar people. He frowned, "Who are you? This is the set, how did unauthorized people get in?" If something got out, it would greatly affect the crew.
The unauthorized people, Tang Tian and Qin Yikuo, felt a bit embarrassed. Tang Tian quickly adjusted her mood and put on a worried expression, "Director Li, I’m Yanyan’s friend. I heard she got injured while filming, so I came over specifically to check on her. Where is she?"
Why did Tong Yan come to the set? Shouldn’t a normal person go straight to the hospital?
Li Qin’an paused, "She’s not here on set, you can check at the hospital."
The obvious dismissal was understandable to the two, but leaving just like that after coming all the way, how could they be willing?
Tang Tian flashed a smile and said softly, "Director Li, I’ve been following the drama ’Doomsday,’ and if Yanyan is injured, how will the next scenes be filmed?"
Hearing this, Li Qin’an’s worries surged again, and he said in a bad tone, "What does that have to do with you? If you have nothing to do, hurry up and leave."
Tang Tian sweetly smiled and began to introduce herself, "Director Li, I’m also an actress. I played Ruo Lin in ’Poor Girl Meets Prince’ in..."
Li Qin’an had seen a lot, so he understood immediately.
So she wanted to recommend herself and snatch a role.
Didn’t she just say she was Tong Yan’s friend?
Looking at her now, it’s clear she’s here to grab a role, not to see Tong Yan.
With the interaction over these days, Li Qin’an genuinely liked Tong Yan as a girl. Though she might eat a lot and be a bit dazed sometimes, her acting was impeccable. She wasn’t afraid of hardship, never complained of being tired, and had an extremely high comprehension of the script - a very good actress.
As for the person in front of him, Li Qin’an sized her up, her intentions weren’t good, and it was a disrespect to the role.
Tang Tian saw Li Qin’an looking at her, and got excited. Could Director Li be interested in her? Could she possibly have a chance to replace Tong Yan?
’Doomsday’ had only aired four episodes but had already become a nationwide sensation, igniting a frenzy. If she acted in it, she was sure she’d do better than Tong Yan and become more popular!
Tang Tian seemed to see her future self, her heart swelling with excitement that she could barely contain.
Li Qin’an looked at her disdainfully, "That’s nothing for you to worry about. You’re not qualified." His voice was neither loud nor soft, just loud enough for everyone on set to hear.
Tang Tian’s face stiffened, being rejected in public made it hard for her to save face.
Someone on set couldn’t help but laugh, came over and apologized, "Sorry, sorry, our Director Li is just straightforward, says whatever’s on his mind. It’s better if you leave, or you might upset Director Li, and it would be bad if he takes it out on us."
A lot of them really liked Tong Hanzi, she was friendly and unpretentious. With her around, they never lacked good food to eat, and despite the hard work, they’d gained quite a bit of weight!
Trying to snatch Tong Hanzi’s role? Get out of here!
Tang Tian and Qin Yikuo were eventually driven out, standing at the set’s entrance, staring at each other, wondering what to do next.
Unexpectedly, a bunch of reporters swarmed up, catching them off guard.
"Did you see Tong Yan?"
"Aren’t you good friends with Tong Yan? Why are you looking for her on set? Do you have other motives?"
"Were you driven out by Director Li?"
