Li Beinian didn’t think twice before rejecting them. “No to both.”
[Sister Bo]: You don’t feel like filming?
[Jin Li Yi Bei]: It’s not that. I just don’t wish to take on either of these dramas.
[Sister Bo]: There’s a movie production looking for a female supporting role. The lead is Liu Wei. Do you want to give it a try?
Li Beinian’s eyes lit up at once, and she asked, [What movie is that?]
[Sister Bo]: Military theme movie. They’re in the preparation phase. Director is Du Ceng.
Du Ceng, the biggest gun of all big guns among the movie directors!
She sat up at once with great alertness at the mention of his name and asked: [Would it be “Stinging Vine” you’re talking about?]
[Sister Bo]: That’s right. You’ve heard of it?
Li Beinian was about to reply when a call from Bo Chengcheng came in.
She sat up and took the call. “Hello?”
Bo Chengcheng went straight to the point. “The movies produced by Du Ceng Group do keep a good standard. The expectations they have of the female lead are high.
“You have to speak and understand English because there will be international celebrities among the cast. You need to have good skills and be able to take hard work. Because the movie has a military theme, they’re very demanding when it comes to the action.”
Her pleasant voice paused before she continued, “Recently, they’ve been selecting for the roles and have confirmed the female lead. It’s Liu Wei. The male lead is Jiang Chun. Both are veterans who have previously received Best Actor and Best Actress awards. The supporting female role plays a spy, so the requirements are high in terms of physical mobility and acting skills. Do you think you can do it?”
Liu Wei won the Best Actress award for two consecutive years, and this year, she had the honor of being awarded the International Best Supporting Actress award.
Jiang Chun was a real veteran, one of the top actors in the nation. It was rumored that he had stopped filming for health reasons. “Stinging Vine” was his comeback movie.
In the previous life, the supporting actress for this movie was highly-skilled.
For some reason, she was suppressed by Liu Wei and didn’t do a good job.
In the final cut, a big chunk of her scenes had been taken out. On top of this, she was targeted by Liu Wei. Hence, after filming had been completed, she committed suicide out of depression.
Li Beinian hesitated and then said, “I could give it a try. But… Sister Bo, tell me. Why do you insist that I should establish a good relationship with Liu Wei?”
Bo Chengcheng thought for a bit and said in a lazy drawl, “For one thing, this is a person you wouldn’t want to offend. She’s got a big standing and a bigger temper, and she’s quite an aggressive person.”
Uh-huh, this wasn’t news.
“Secondly, she’s highly-esteemed in the entertainment circle. If she doesn’t like you, everyone else will target you too.”
Li Beinian remarked, “That scary?”
“Thirdly, she’s an awesome person. You won’t go wrong getting off on the right footing with her.”
“But what if I slip up and she ends up hating me?”
This was a constructive question.
Bo Chengcheng was silent for a moment before she answered, “Well, then. We can only attribute that to your fate.”
Li Beinian retreated for about a fortnight before she made a reappearance, causing a big stir on the internet.
All the comments were centered around the topic of Li Beinian and the Eldest Young Master Mu.
The rumors of Eldest Young Master Mu having an affair had been clarified, and the version of the story now was that the couple separated because their feelings for each other had changed. Hence, the engagement no longer held weight.
However, on the same afternoon that Li Beinian had completed her filming for the perfume advertisement, a scandal involving her broke out online.
#Digging the dirt behind fresh hot newbies in showbiz#
Li Beinian scrolled down and saw pictures and accompanying text explaining how she was different from other female celebrities.
They depicted her comings and goings from luxury properties, being ferried around in luxury cars, her many suitors, the amount of money that she was getting…
“Dispirited and disappeared following a breakup with Mu Donglin”, “Quick reappearance a fortnight after a breakup”, “Shockingly fast recovery” were among the topics.
The final comment was: It was reported that Li Beinian used to live on Misty Street, and she made a super-quick debut after she moved out. What do you guys think of it?
