BXBX NOVEL Chapter 603 - Faces Yellow as a Candle
After Guan Meiyi went on stage, Cheng Chen also called the others in the main cast up.
Shan Feifei, as the second female lead of the movie, was supposed to be on stage with the others. However, just as she got to the side of the stage, she was stopped by one of Cheng Chen’s attendants.
“What is it?” Shan Feifei asked, her eyes red.
The attendant was expressionless and coldly said, “Chairman Cheng has made it clear that your position as the second female lead has not been finalized. Therefore, there is no need for you to go on stage.”
“What?” When Shan Feifei heard the words “not been finalized”, her tears rapidly fell. “It has clearly already been decided that I have the role of second female lead. The contract has also been signed. Why can’t I go on stage?”
The attendant was disinclined to look at Shang Feifei. “What’s with all of the questions? Chairman Cheng’s word is the law! If you don’t want to humiliate yourself, return to your seat!”
Shan Feifei staggered, her body on the verge of collapsing. She looked at the artists on stage and then looked at the vacant seat and the reporters holding microphones behind it. With red eyes, she silently returned to the seat she had taken from Guan Meiyi.
It was no obvious why Ling Tianya had told Guan Meiyi that she wouldn’t be sitting down for long. Guan Meiyi didn’t need to sit here. She needed to stand on stage.
Within moments, only Yi Tian and Shan Feifei were sitting in the two front rows. It made them appear pitiful, yet also laughable.
Of course, the reporters’ keen sense for entertainment news did cause them to feel any pity for the two women. They mercilessly clicked away at them, hoping to get a reaction they could use to their advantage.
Yi Tian sat there with a cold face, grinding her teeth. She hadn’t expected that she would be sitting here today with the idiot Shan Feifei.
On stage, everyone was in their respective places. Ling Tianya, Cheng Chen and the others sat down. Guan Meiyi sat beside Ling Tianya. Bai Guanghui and the other members of the company who had wronged Ling Tianya also sat down, trembling with fear. None of them dared to speak, their faces yellow as a candle.
The MC was also at a complete loss after the sudden shift in circumstances. However, he was still a professional MC and was able to remain calm. “Now that all of the executives and the main cast has been seated, the reporters can begin asking questions,” he said.
Following the MC’s words, the reporters raised their hands in quick succession. As they did so, they began to shout out questions at the people on the stage. The venue suddenly became chaotic.
The MC pointed at the reporter that was shouting the loudest. The reporter picked up the microphone and urgently asked, “Screenwriter Ling....um.....I’ll just called you President Ling. Are you allowing Ms. Guan Meiyi to be the female lead due to your personal connection with her? After all, we have all witnessed Guan Meiyi’s acting skills before and a couple of days ago, the company’s artist Shan Feifei recently posted on Weibo about you being biased. I hope that you can explain this. Thank you!”
Hearing the reporter mention her name, Shan Feifei’s body violently shuddered. She turned around to glare at the reporter who had spoken. Talk about hitting a sore spot!
The reporter ignored Shan Feifei’s glare. Instead, he picked up his camera and got a close up of her angry expression. Shan Feifei quickly turned her head back in alarm.
Ling Tianya had predicted that the reporter would ask this question. She calmly picked up the microphone and softly said, “I have already said that I hope for the most suitable person to be the female lead of this movie. The reason why I selected Ms. Guan is not that she is my cousin but because she is the most suitable person.”
