Chapter 188 - 188: Best Actress
She hated Gu Manxi, hated acting with Gu Manxi. Especially when the two of them were in the same scene, Gu Manxi's beautiful and outstanding face fell into her eyes. She could not help but feel frustrated.
Gu Manxi was too good at acting, which made Cao Yuezhi look like she had no acting skills at all.
Cao Yuezhi's poor acting skills were completely suppressed by Gu Manxi.
"S-sorry...
" Cao Yueczi frowned and apologized in a low voice.
"All units, get ready. Let's do it again!
" Lu Shanhe was a director with a bad temper, so he could not suppress his anger. His handsome face was ferocious, and he wished that he could become the second female lead and act in Cao Yuezhi's place.
The man-made rain fell again, and the camera was turned on.
Cao Yuezhi tried her best to calm herself down. The heavy rain poured down, and the two of them seemed to have returned to the streets and alleys of the Republic of China in the misty rain. A beautiful woman in a cheongsam stopped her. The two of them argued and quarreled, and their eyes were red in the rain.
"Cut!!
" Lu Shanhe called for a stop impatiently.
"Keep this snippet for now. We'll reshoot again when there's a chance.
"
Cao Yuezhi frowned. Her assistant wrapped her with a thick towel to keep her warm, but Cao Yuezhi's heart was freezing cold.
She seemed to have disappointed Lu Shanhe...
"You might be too tired. Have a good rest tonight. We'll continue shooting tomorrow.
" Gu Manxi had been in the rain for five hours, and her whole body was trembling. However, she didn't complain. Instead, she came over to comfort Cao Yuezhi.
Cao Yuezhi forced a smile.
She was certain that Gu Manxi had come over to
"show off
" on purpose to see how ugly she looked.
"Thank you, Manxi. I'll work hard.
" Cao Yuezhi put on a fake smile. Gu Manxi wrapped herself in a towel and left. Lu Shanhe personally brought her a hot cup of cold medicine, afraid that Gu Manxi would fall sick.
Gu Manxi was accompanied by two production assistants sent by Song Chen. They protected her the entire time.
Cao Yuezhi's eyes gradually darkened.
Cao Yuezhi had no scenes in the evening, so she returned to the dressing room early to remove her makeup. She had also been drenched in the rain for five hours. Her assistant brewed some cold medicine for her to drink.
"You guys go out first. I'll rest alone for a while.
" Cao Yuezhi raised her hand and told her assistants to go out.
She was quite tired and needed to rest. Not only was her body tired, but her heart was even more tired.
While she was frustrated, Cao Yuezhi took out the script and read it carefully again. She was not someone who did not work hard. She had her own abilities to become the best actress. Cao Yuezhi took out a pen and began to memorize her lines.
While she was reading the script, she heard the chattering of a few women coming from next door.
"This best actress did a few minutes of filming, but she couldn't even finish it after five hours. It's hard on us who work on the scene.
"
"In the entertainment industry these days, even those who don't have much ability can become the best actress... Miss Manxi has a good temper. She's still not angry after being dragged down by a burden.
"
"Haha, don't say that. When Miss Manxi and Cao Yuezhi stand together, Miss Manxi looked so much better than her.
"
"Cao Yuezhi is very arrogant. Her fans close their eyes and brag about her acting skills. Did you see her Weibo yesterday? She got a paper cut, and she even posted on Weibo saying that it was hard to shoot.
"
"Hahaha, of course she posted it on Weibo. If she waited any longer, the injury on her hand will be healed. One tiny paper cut and she still wants to play the character of a dedicated professional? Jiang Cheng's right leg was cut and he had to get stitches, but he didn't even say a word.
"
She then heard a burst of undisguised mocking laughter.
The sound was like needles, piercing Cao Yuezhi's eardrums.
Her fingers that were clutching the script tightened, and the script was scrunched up by her. This bunch of trash, who are you to judge me? Even if my acting skills are not as good as Gu Manxi's, I'm still better than you people who gossip behind my back!
