Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 208 You Think You're Worthy to Steal My Scene?
"You dare to quibble? Do you even remember you're playing a young girl? Anyone would think you were playing the lead!"
An Tingting continued to scold, feeling terrible.
A newcomer dared to overshadow her performance.
Unforgivable!
She wasn't a professional actor, but was chosen for the role because her fans liked her.
They had specifically found this young actress, who had been playing extras or minor supporting roles.
And now this happened.
An Tingting wanted to continue scolding, but Sun Li argued her case.
She said seriously, "This has nothing to do with me. That's not what I was trying to do at all. I was just playing my role, and I stood where I was told to stand. I wasn't even at the front. How could I be stealing the scene? And the camera wasn't even on me."
Sun Li felt she was perfectly justified.
"Oh, so you wanted the camera on you?" An Tingting said disdainfully. "Someone like you should be grateful to even play a supporting role for me. Are you worthy of being compared to me? See which production would even want you now."
An Tingting continued to mock, sparing no effort to humiliate Sun Li.
She could tell that if this scene aired, she would be torn apart by the audience.
Her acting skills were mediocre, so the other actors in the crew couldn't be too much better than her.
Otherwise, it would damage her reputation.
"I've never thought of being a supporting actress as something difficult. I just want to act well."
Sun Li continued to explain.
Although An Tingting and the director heard these words as a challenge.
A small-time actress.
Daring to argue back.
Daring to keep talking!
Not only that, but openly arguing with the female lead.
"Alright, if you're so dissatisfied, then get out! You say you want to act well, but I don't see any of it. I hired you to act, not to argue. I said your acting is bad, and it is! Understand? If you want to act, then act properly. If you don't want to, then take off your costume and get out!"
The director was also annoyed and didn't want to continue arguing with Sun Li.
Did she think she was so amazing?
There were plenty of opportunities.
Even if Sun Li didn't want the role, there were plenty of extras who would.
Sun Li felt very stifled.
It clearly wasn't her fault, but she was being targeted.
The director and An Tingting looked at her mockingly, with no sympathy in their eyes, only deeper contempt.
Could a small-time actress cause any real trouble?
If you didn't have the guts to argue, then don't open your mouth. In the end, it was all the same.
"Hmph, and you still have to apologize to me. Do you know how precious our time is? Because of your delay, you've wasted so many people's time. If you still want to act, then you have to apologize properly. If your attitude isn't good, I won't accept it!"
An Tingting looked at Sun Li smugly. She hated people like this the most.
Especially recently, there had been intentional online criticism of people like them for seizing resources, even though their acting was mediocre and their looks were average, they still insisted on taking scripts from professional actors.
So what!
She would seize them anyway. She got the scripts through her own ability, and even if she turned them into garbage, people would still love to watch them.
And they would still shout that their sister was amazing.
Sun Li stood there, unmoving, not knowing what to do.
Her tears were about to fall, but she still held back and planned to leave.
She didn't know what to choose. Her hand was on her costume, but she hesitated to take it off. Once the costume was off, she wouldn't be able to continue filming here.
And she would offend the director and An Tingting.
If she wanted to act in the future, who would hire her?
As long as they said a word, she would completely lose all the limited resources she had.
Lu Xuan saw that Sun Li was about to leave, but Li Hao still didn't seem to be taking action, and he was instantly speechless.
"Don't you think she's suitable to be the female lead? Hurry up and go talk to her. Look how wronged she is."
Lu Xuan pushed Li Hao forward, telling him to hurry up and contact her.
Don't just stand there.
Go talk to her now.
And looking at Sun Li's expression, she was clearly struggling, whether to offend the director or apologize, forcing herself to swallow her grievances.
"Oh, is she planning to apologize? Then hurry up and say it, I'm listening!"
An Tingting crossed her arms and glared at Sun Li arrogantly.
Li Hao stepped forward and stood in front of Sun Li.
"Hello, my name is Li Hao, and I'm a director from Xuan Yao Film & Television Dream Factory. I have a script here, and you're very suitable to be the female lead in our show."
"Ah?"
Sun Li looked at Li Hao in surprise.
Did this person know what he was talking about?
She looked at Li Hao incredulously and asked, "You want me to be the female lead?"
She wondered if she had misheard.
After being an actress for so long, it was the first time someone had proactively told her that there was a script where she could be the female lead.
"I've been looking for the female lead for this show for a long time, and it just so happened that I saw your performance today. I think you're the most suitable person for the female lead."
"No one but you will do."
Li Hao's words sounded like a confession.
Sun Li was dumbfounded.
She had just been scolded so badly, had this person seen everything?
And he was still willing to give her a chance.
Many people were stunned.
Especially when they saw Li Hao.
After all, some people might not know Li Hao's identity, but when Lu Xuan was mentioned, it was impossible for anyone not to know.
"Oh my god, it's really Li Hao, Li Hao actually found a newcomer to be the female lead!"
"That's normal. Their company doesn't look for traffic, they only look for actors who are truly suitable."
"He's worthy of being the most famous director in Lu Xuan's company, so amazing!"
"It's the first time I've seen them so proactive in looking for actors, they look so sincere."
"What is she doing standing there in a daze, hurry up and say yes!"
"Could it be that she doesn't know who Li Hao is?"
"That's possible!"
The director on the side said in surprise, "You, you're actually Li Hao, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here looking for actors. I just happened to see such a suitable one, so I quickly made a move. Director Chen, you don't mind, do you? I remember you just told this actress to get out, so I can take her away."
"This... she... she hasn't really left yet."
The director started to panic, wondering what to do.
Then he saw that Lu Xuan was actually standing in the crowd with a mask on.
Oh no!
Lu Xuan was also watching.
