Smack in the Face

“As she didn’t have many scenes, and it wasn’t the main lead, the penalty for breaching the contract wasn’t much. However, we were already preparing to start filming Yu Xiaoyue’s scenes, so I had to quickly find someone. It just so happened that I know the director of ‘Ten Years in a Hurry’, and he recommended Song Ci to me! He even showed me a video of Song Ci acting. Immediately, I decided to let this actress join the cast!” The director chuckled.

The host heard this and asked curiously, “At that time, ‘Ten Years in a Hurry’ had not been aired yet? I remember that you, Song Ci, became popular because of that movie.”

Song Ci nodded. “That’s why I’m so grateful to these two directors for giving me the opportunity.”

“Did you know you were going to play Yu Xiaoyue?” the host asked again.

!!

“No. I only knew that it was an official drama. I had never acted in one before, so I thought I would give it a try.” Song Ci said with a smile.

The host asked, “How does it feel to be in a major drama?”

“It felt great. If any other director who’s filming a main drama sees this and needs an actress in the future, please call me.” Song Ci faced the camera and smiled brightly.

The fans and host laughed again. They felt that Song Ci was quite humorous. Or was it because of the thread last night? The host did not believe that Song Ci did not know anything about it. After all, in this industry, if one was not well-informed, how could one survive?

Director Liang was obviously very satisfied with Song Ci. Coupled with his conversation with Yang Haoran last night, he immediately expressed his stance. “I’ll hold onto your words, Song Ci. If I have any suitable roles for my next project, I will definitely save them for Song Ci. Though, the part won’t be as little as Yu Xiaoyue’s role this time.”

As soon as he said this, everyone understood that Director Liang was looking out for Song Ci after what had happened.

After that, Director Liang still felt that this was not enough. He added, “I’m really happy that the character Yu Xiaoyue is so liked and discussed by so many people. Though, to be honest, I’m surprised. It’s not that the character Yu Xiaoyue isn’t outstanding, but Song Ci’s performance was beyond my expectations. She brought Yu Xiaoyue to life! When she acted as Yu Xiaoyue. “Ten Years in a Hurry’ had just aired, and she was starting to become popular before her filming with us ended. I was worried she would be young and impetuous. What if she couldn’t get into character? However, in the end, she didn’t change at all. She just did whatever it was she needed to do. She was down-to-earth, serious, and rigorous! I can see a bright future ahead of her!”

In an instant, Director Liang’s comments were spread by his fans. Fans very quickly found the people who framed Song Ci last night and left comments under those people’s comments.

“Everyone said that our Song Ci snatched the role, but in reality, she was saving the scene! It’s obvious who was the one lying now!”

“It seems the directors of these two films like Song Ci very much. For her to be praised wherever she goes, she must be capable. This is our sister’s ability.”

“The actress who was going to act in the previous role was too much. She had already signed the contract, but as she felt the role was too small, she paid money to breach the contract. Is she wealthy or something?”

“Who knows? Maybe she is rich. Some people even spread rumors that Song Ci had a sugar daddy. That’s why she could act in shows. I guess it was someone else who had a sugar daddy…”

“How could a certain actress act pitiful? She was the one who broke the contract. It was only because sister Song Ci was kind. What if she didn’t agree to help? Would the production team even find a suitable replacement? Why didn’t she act pitiful at that time?”

“I’m just glad that woman didn’t play Yu Xiaoyue’. Otherwise, she would have botched it.”

“I told you Song Ci would never do anything like bullying others. She’s been keeping a low profile ever since she started working. The actors, directors, and even the other staff members she’s worked with have all praised her. Why would such a person do something like that and destroy her own future?”

“That’s why I say that some people are too scheming. They deserve to remain unnoticed. How can they become famous if they spend all their time on unorthodox methods?”

“Why are some people so indignant? The Yu Xiaoyue that everyone loves wouldn’t be the same without Song Ci. If it were the other actress, who knows how it would’ve turned out! I don’t think this movie would’ve been as popular!”

“Just based on some people’s ability to mind petty matters instead of more important ones, she’ll probably be like this for the rest of her life. She won’t even know how to pick a good script!”

“I wonder why the people who started the rumor about Song Ci aren’t saying anything now…?”
