Chasing the Light

Chapter 56: Of course there are benefits

Views:

Su Ran thought about it and said, "I'll go find out."

"I'll go too."

The two went downstairs to find the squad leader.

"Squad leader, I want to make a phone call." Su Ran made a request to Li Wei.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment: "You wait."

After a while, Li Wei took her cell phone back to her.

Su Ran did not avoid the class monitor and Yayi and called Ning Xi.

"Ning Xi, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Ah... you know everything!"

"Um!"

"This matter is a bit troublesome, I am trying to find a way to solve it."

"specific."

"Lin Ying hired a group of trolls to post a boycott, and many people responded. I heard from Director Chen that Lin Ying also persuaded the producer to replace you with her. Shen Ming from the financing side is trying hard to encourage other investors to oppose you. They will hold a meeting tomorrow to decide whether you stay or go. Director Chen is also helpless, but he will try his best. If... If you are really replaced, Su Ran, don't be discouraged."

"Okay, I got it." Su Ran hung up the phone.

"Sister Su Ran, how is it?" Liu Yayi asked anxiously.

Su Ran smiled: "No problem."

Liu Yayi was skeptical.

Su Ran turned off her phone and handed it to Li Wei: "Thank you, squad leader. I'll go back first."

Li Wei held the phone in his hand, deep in thought. Seeing Liu Yayi's anxious look, it seemed that Su Ran had encountered some big trouble.

Su Ran returned to the dormitory. As soon as she entered the door, Ye Dansha laughed: "Oh... Su Ran is back! Are you back to pack your luggage?"

Su Ran ignored her, found her training uniform and prepared to change.

"I'm still thinking about whether to hold a farewell party for you. After all, we've been through thick and thin together for half a month!"

"Sister Dansha, do you really want Sister Su Ran to leave? What good will it do you if Sister Su Ran leaves?" Liu Yayi said angrily. Sister Dansha's gloating face was really hateful.

Ye Dansha said leisurely: "Of course there are benefits. The biggest benefit is that I am in a good mood!"

"You..." Liu Yayi couldn't help but rush up to quarrel with Ye Dansha.

Su Ran held her back, smiled slightly, and looked at Ye Dansha calmly, with a bit of contempt in her eyes: "Ye Dansha, even if you step on me this time, I will still stand up next time. You can't step on me."

"Then let's just wait and see!" Ye Dansha sneered, being stubborn.

"Su Ran..." Shen Yifeng called Su Ran while standing at the door.

Su Ran glanced at Ye Dansha with a sneer and went out.

Shen Yifeng walked all the way to the other end of the corridor before asking, "Has that matter been resolved?"

Su Ran pursed her lips: "I might really have to leave."

Shen Yifeng gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said, "I won't let you go. If you want to go, we'll go together."

Having said that, Shen Yifeng ran away.

"Shen Yifeng, stop."

Su Ran knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to quit to put pressure on the producers. Shen Yifeng was the most suitable candidate for the male lead in this film. His image and temperament were very close to the role. He was talented and popular. If he quit, it would indeed put some pressure on the producers. However, no matter how strong his arms were, he could not change his thighs. Those people were determined to replace her. It was useless for Shen Yifeng to quit. He would have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

The key is that this film is really suitable for Shen Yifeng, with a good subject, a good script, a good director, and a big production. The prospects of this film can be foreseen, otherwise Lin Ying would not have done so many tricks to get the role of the leading actress. Shen Yifeng can definitely take his career to a new level with this film.

She was very grateful that Shen Yifeng stood by her when she encountered difficulties, but she would not allow Shen Yifeng to do so. It would put a lot of pressure on her. After all, their friendship had not reached that point yet.

"Shen Yifeng, thank you, but things are not as simple as you think. Even if you do this, it won't change anything. Why bother with me? This film is a rare opportunity. As actors, what we most hope for is to encounter a good script, a good production team, and a favorite role, right? Don't worry, I'm fine. I have another play on hand. Although it's not as good as this one, it's also good." Su Ran said with a smile.

Shen Yifeng didn't know whether what she said about there being another play waiting for her was true or not, but he knew that he didn't make such a decision out of anger. He thought about it all night last night. Having been engaged in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, he never cared who the heroine was, and just focused on acting well. But this time, he had a strong feeling that if the leading actress was not Su Ran, he would not be able to continue acting in this play, so it would be better not to act.

"Besides, if you really do this and it gets out, you'll be on the blacklist." Su Ran joked.

Shen Yifeng laughed: "Do you think I care about these things? A person of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow."

He really doesn't care. He would be happiest if his name was the only one on the blacklist.

Su Ran stopped smiling and her expression darkened. "People's words are scary. They can kill people, especially for people like us who make a living. Public opinion has a greater impact. You don't care because you haven't encountered a situation like mine. I'm already in the spotlight. If something else gets out, I'm afraid it will be hard for me to make a comeback."

Shen Yifeng was speechless for a moment. Yes! If he did this, it would probably cause greater harm to Su Ran.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was visiting time in the ICU. Director Feng went in first, stayed for a few minutes and came out, then Li Wei and Yang Fan took over.

As soon as Yang Fan saw the captain, he grabbed the captain's hand and cried.

"I told you to take me with you, but you refused. If I were here, you wouldn't be injured so badly, wuwuwu..."

Han Dong said weakly: "Li Wei, kick him out. He just knows how to cry like a woman."

"Is it not okay if I don't cry?" Yang Fan felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to cry anymore. He was happy that the captain still had the energy to scold him.

"Where is Su Ran?" Han Dong asked Li Wei.

Li Wei leaned closer and said, "She's fine. She sent the child home this morning. She's in the army now. She wanted to come see you, but it's not convenient."

"Is she not injured?" Han Dong asked. The situation was urgent at the time and he only saw that she was in a mess and didn't know if she was injured or not.

Li Wei shook his head: "No."

"That's good." Han Dong felt relieved.

"It's just..." Li Wei hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell the captain about it.

Han Dong's heart suddenly lifted up, causing his wound to ache.

"Speak directly and don't waste time." Han Dong was anxious.

"Captain, promise me not to be anxious or angry, or I won't say anything."

"Speak." Han Dong gritted his teeth.

"It's like this. I heard from Liu Yayi that there was a post online boycotting Su Ran, and it had a huge impact. Now the higher-ups want to replace Su Ran, and the decision will be made tomorrow. If Su Ran can't act in this film, she will most likely leave the team soon." Li Wei said.

Yang Fan was surprised: "Why don't I know about this?"

Li Wei gave him a blank look and said, "What else do you know besides crying?"

I found some time in the morning to code a chapter, and will update it early. I have a meeting in the afternoon, and will continue in the evening. Thank you Jiaoyazi, Garfield II, and Chen Feiyan for the rewards!
