In Lin Ying's private dressing room, the makeup artist is doing Lin Ying's makeup. She will be recording a very popular variety show soon.
Lin Ying looked at her phone from time to time, feeling anxious. It was already this late, why hadn't Zhao Pinlin called her yet
Didn’t everyone reach a consensus
In fact, it was her own fault. The leading female role in the movie "72 Hours" was originally intended for her. At that time, there was also a big-budget martial arts drama directed by a famous director who also wanted her. She took advantage of it and dragged the two sides to negotiate the terms. Who knew that Su Ran would show up halfway. If Ye Dansha hadn't called her to tell her, she would still be in the dark.
The makeup artist was about to put false eyelashes on Lin Ying when her cell phone rang. Lin Ying saw that it was Zhao Pinlin calling.
"You go out first."
The makeup artist had to put down her work and leave the dressing room.
Lin Ying suppressed her anxious mood, and said calmly, "Hello..."
"Lin Ying, the situation has changed."
Lin Ying's face suddenly changed, and she asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
"I'm telling you, someone has said directly that the female lead role must go to Su Ran, and anyone who objects can get out."
"How is that possible?" Lin Ying couldn't believe it. When did Su Ran get such a strong backer
"At that time, President Xia answered the phone in front of us. I heard it with my own ears. Everyone had originally agreed that Su Ran should step down and you should take over. But after this phone call, President Xia's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. What's even worse is that President Xia received another call afterwards, and someone offered 300 million to support Su Ran..."
Lin Ying really couldn't accept this result. It was so unbelievable that it seemed like a fairy tale. Did Su Ran have such great power? She needed connections and capital. If this happened in Su Ran's heyday, it would be understandable. But now Su Ran's reputation was notorious, and she had been silent for three years. How could it be possible
But Zhao Pinlin didn't need to lie to her. A surge of anger was like magma rolling in her heart. She had done so much to get this role, but in the end it was all in vain. She was unwilling to accept it.
"Also, I advise you not to do any more tricks. It's useless. Be careful not to get yourself into trouble." Zhao Pinlin warned on the phone.
"What did I do?" Lin Ying defended guiltily.
"You don't have to deny it. Everyone knows it. You should check it out online first."
The other end hung up the phone.
Lin Ying quickly used her mobile phone to surf the Internet, but all the topics about Su Ran on the hot searches had disappeared, including the post about boycotting Su Ran.
Lin Ying immediately called her public relations team and asked, "What's going on online?"
The person in charge, Tian Rong, said: "I'm asking someone to check. Suddenly, all the news about Su Ran was removed, all the posts were deleted, and the big Vs who received money from us were banned and can't be contacted by phone."
Lin Ying's head buzzed and she felt a chill down her spine. She began to understand what Zhao Pinlin meant by "getting into trouble". She could spend money to hire an army of internet trolls to buy press releases to create momentum, but they could wipe out everything in an instant. This force was not something she could contend with.
"Su Ran..." Lin Ying gritted her teeth and uttered the name that she hated so much.
This haunting bitch.
Like Su Ran, she became famous at a young age and has always been compared to Su Ran. Su Ran is always better than her and has won several major awards. Su Ran is a talented actress, but she has become a popular actress. Why
Does she have no acting skills? She is just not as lucky as Su Ran and has not been able to get a role that can win a big award.
She thought that after getting rid of Su Ran, no one would be able to compete with her anymore, and all kinds of praise and recognition came to her like snowflakes. But Su Ran came back and snatched the role she wanted as soon as she came back.
Lin Ying took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and called her agent Qiu Honghui: "Honghui, contact Director Xu immediately and tell him that it's his play. I'll accept it according to his terms."
She just didn't believe that she was not as good as Su Ran.
Knock, knock, knock... Someone is knocking on the door.
Lin Ying said unhappily, "Come in."
"Sister Lin Ying, the recording is about to start, the director is urging us." It was her assistant Pan Yuanyuan who came.
"Why are you rushing me? Are you trying to kill me?" Lin Ying got angry at the assistant.
Pan Yuanyuan said timidly: "Everyone else is already in place."
"Just let them wait. Will they die if they wait a little longer?" Lin Ying was in a very unhappy mood. She spoke without thinking and in a loud voice.
The makeup artist outside the door rolled her eyes and showed a look of contempt, saying, "It's so great to be from a big brand!"
On the military camp’s playground, the recruit class is conducting a 3,000-meter obstacle race training.
Xiao Qin, the guard beside Captain Sun, ran over to find Li Wei, and Li Wei immediately stopped Su Ran who was about to go onto the single-plank bridge.
"Su Ran, come here for a moment."
Su Ran recognized the soldier Xiao Qin who came to look for the squad leader. He was the guard of Captain Sun. Su Ran's heart sank. What was supposed to come finally came.
Su Ran straightened her training uniform and walked over.
"Comrade Su Ran, our commander is looking for you." Xiao Qin pointed to the edge of the playground.
"Go!" Li Wei was also very nervous. Was the captain looking for Su Ran because of that incident? He had already reported it to the director as instructed by the captain, but he didn't know if it would work.
Li Wei accompanied Su Ran to Captain Sun, and they both saluted in unison.
Captain Sun looked at Su Ran with a smile: "Someone asked me to tell you something. Train hard, film well, and the leading female role is yours."
Su Ran's eyes lit up. Did she hear it right? She was still the leading actress. Could she stay
Li Wei asked uncertainly: "Captain, do you mean that Su Ran doesn't have to leave?"
Captain Sun said: "This is the reward she deserves, why are you leaving?"
Reward? Su Ran understood. It should be Director Ni who helped her to settle the matter because she cooperated with their operation.
Li Wei smiled innocently, the captain's method really worked.
Captain Sun said to Su Ran: "Perform well."
"Yes!" Su Ran answered loudly and excitedly, giving a standard and powerful military salute.
"Go back and train." Li Wei said.
"yes!"
Su Ran turned around and saw her teammates standing there looking at her. She walked towards them quickly, but deliberately walked slower and slower.
"Sister Su Ran, what does Captain Sun want to talk to you about?" Liu Yayi was worried. Seeing Sister Su Ran lowering her head and looking depressed, she wondered if it was bad news. No...
"Su Ran, how is it?" Shen Yifeng was also anxious.
"Oh!" Ye Dansha sneered: "I know the answer from her expression. Do I need to ask?"
Shen Yifeng glared at Ye Dansa fiercely.
"I... I..." Su Ran raised her head suddenly and smiled brightly: "I don't have to leave."
"Really? Really?" Liu Yayi asked in surprise.
Su Ran smiled and nodded vigorously.
“Wow… Sister Su Ran, you are so mean. You scared me to death…” Liu Yayi hugged Su Ran and started crying.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I was so happy that I just made a joke." Su Ran apologized quickly. She didn't expect to make Liu Yayi cry.
"Su Ran, congratulations." Deng Zian was also very happy.
"Sister Su Ran, it's great that you can stay." Qi Lei said.
Ye Dansha was so angry. Didn't Shen Ming say that Su Ran would definitely leave this time? She was so happy for nothing.
Ye Dansha turned around and walked away, but she accidentally sprained her ankle and fell to the ground.
"Let's go, let's continue training." Su Ran took the lead and ran.
"Sister Su Ran, wait for me..." Liu Yayi followed, and everyone started running, but no one paid attention to Ye Dansha who fell.
"Hey! Are you guys blind? Didn't you see that I fell?" Ye Dansha yelled at everyone's backs.
Shen Yifeng looked at Su Ran who was running fast in front of him, and a smile spread out on the corners of his lips. He was scared to death by Su Ran just now, but it was good that Su Ran could stay!
I was a little sleepy at night, so I said I would take a nap, but I overslept. Sorry for the late update! Thank you Yangyangyang for your support!
