Chapter 65: Star Family Chapter 4

  Since arriving in this world, Su Luo would often go to her uncle's theater troupe to practice martial arts and dance. Fortunately, the original owner had also practiced Tongzigong, so her body's flexibility was not bad, with a solid foundation. Adding to that the accumulation of her past few lives, her skills were now quite impressive. Often, the teachers in the theater troupe would be left speechless, praising her for having great talent. She also took the opportunity to learn some opera, considering it as repayment for the original owner's help.

  The momentum is almost there, "Danei" has finally started filming. The main creators, including the director, screenwriter, producer, and starring Jiang Ming, Tian Wei and others all attended the grand opening ceremony, Su Luo Luo, who can't even be considered a minor substitute, naturally had nothing to do with her.

  Shuiguo Shuiguo followed suit and joined the group. Coincidentally, it was during the holidays, so there weren't many classes at school. Dongfang had also resolved her emotional knot, and her physical condition had improved a lot since returning home from the hospital. She no longer needed to be taken care of every day, just regular follow-up check-ups were fine, which made things much easier for her.

  Because of Su Luo's exceptionally outstanding appearance, there were often misunderstandings at first. There would always be people coming to ask her: "Which economic company are you from?" "New person, how come I've never seen you before, what role are you playing this time?" Some ill-intentioned female celebrities would also come to stir up trouble: "I think you look even more beautiful than Tian Miao, unfortunately, you don't have her luck, no matter how good-looking you are, you can only play a supporting role."

  Su Luo explained for the tenth time: "I'm not an actor, I'm just a stunt double." After filming a few more fight scenes and thoroughly intimidating everyone with her agile movements that were in no way inferior to those of male martial artists, only then did people believe she was truly there to be a stunt double. Genuine material! Not someone who couldn't get the role and retreated to take on a secondary role for the sake of opportunity!

  My god! This line really can't be mixed up anymore! In this era, even a stand-in looks like this! How are those who rely on their face to eat and appear on the big screen supposed to survive?!

  Mom, I don't want to perform anymore! It's too humiliating! Let's just go home, take a bath and sleep, that's it!

  Agent, I've found a template! After filming this one, I'll go to Korea! I'll do it just like the substitute little sister did! If you don't believe me, I won't become popular!

  What?! B* law system?! Come on, little sister, let's talk about human nature! Clearly one can rely on their looks, why still need to rely on talent?! Being so arrogant, can't you just have fun properly?!

  The crowd who knew the truth shed tears.

  Especially Director Li, he watched the playback of Su Luo Luo over and over again, almost going crazy: "Lang Qing (female lead) ah! My Lang Qing!!!"

  As the saying goes, you have to use up what you've chosen for yourself, even if it's bitter. Director Li knew that by now everything was set in stone and there was no going back. Not only had the cast list and character posters been released long ago, but the media and public would also be hard to explain to. Even his old friend Shen Yifeng wouldn't be able to talk him out of it. If he really did that, their relationship would also come to an end.

  Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

  Why make me see my Langqing!

  If it weren't for her, Shen Yifei's daughter's acting skills wouldn't be unacceptable either!

  Now, I have a better choice, but I have to give it up and settle for something that is much worse, it's really frustrating!

  Is there anything more painful than being a director?!

  Li Daoqu's consequence of being infatuated with Tian Mu was that he was dazed for several days, sometimes on the set when he saw Su Luo, he would subconsciously call her "Lang Qing", and when he came back to his senses, he would be disheartened, shaking his head and sighing in front of her, then leaving in extreme desolation.

  The crew had already gotten used to Director Li's behavior after several times, although they understood, but could only silently shed a sympathetic tear for him.

  There are Su Luo's jade and pearls in front, Tian Miang's originally still passable performance was crushed to the point where not even dregs were left.

  One has never been involved in acting, one with a strong background.

  One is weak and frail from drug addiction, one is strong and agile with impressive physical skills.

  One with hatred and deliberate disguise of kindness, one who is knowledgeable and reasonable, considerate to others and has boundaries.

  Apart from differences in identity and background, it is self-evident who wins and who loses in other aspects.

  Their presence added a lot of gossip to the crew of "Dai Nei", and everyone liked to put them together for comparison. Except for a few who wanted to fawn over Tian Mei, most people still preferred Su Luo.

  After all, she has no competition with everyone in this play. Tian Bi's parachuting has harmed the interests of many people. Unfortunately, her family is on fire now, and no one can afford to offend them. The director can only swallow his anger and let her continue acting. Of course, except for Jiang Yingdi, he only appears when he has his own scenes, otherwise, he disappears. Even if he's present, he doesn't participate in those gossip discussions, so nobody knows which "camp" he belongs to. (Only his assistant knows that every time after filming a fight scene, the emperor's mood becomes particularly happy, and he can even eat half a bowl more of rice.)

  What's more important is that Su Luo herself has a charm and demeanor that makes it easy for everyone to have a good impression of her. She treats everyone equally, knowing that the director appreciates her but not being arrogant or complacent, doing her own job conscientiously. She won't fawn over the big shots, and she's also polite and courteous to some of the lower-level extras and staff members, as if in her eyes there are no distinctions of status or position, only differences in age and gender. Unlike other young people who always gather together and make a racket, she is especially patient and meticulous with old people and children, to the point that the child stars and the older actors playing the roles of empress dowager, eunuchs, and housekeepers, as well as the aunties helping with cleaning, all particularly like her.

  At first, there were several actresses who didn't quite take to her, looking down their noses at her, but slowly they too were won over by Su Luo's good temper and "unfashionable" attire. In fact, she wasn't ugly, with a clean and refreshing appearance, like a normal student, but in the eyes of these fashionable female artists, she was just unsophisticated. Seeing that she wore no makeup every day, not a single brand-name item on her body, everyone else also let it go, thinking she was an unambitious country bumpkin, and it was clear that her family wasn't well off. People always sympathize with the weak, although Su Luo didn't intentionally use a pitiful appearance to gain sympathy, but really had no money, which unexpectedly reduced the hostility towards her from these people.

  Out of curiosity, they would occasionally find her to chat and ask for some information. For example: "Are you really from B University?" "Where did you learn your skills, they look very impressive." "Who introduced you to be a stand-in here?"

  Su Luo can only answer vaguely, such as who introduced her to be a substitute, she can only say that it was introduced by relatives, taking advantage of the holiday to make some extra money.

  They were all young girls, not too old, without too much scheming in their minds. Before long, everyone got along quite happily. Whatever actions they couldn't do, she would demonstrate for them. Sometimes she brought some food from home and everyone wouldn't hesitate to grab it from her. Sometimes they would also bluntly mock her clothes, as well as that stingy-looking mobile phone that seemed like an artifact from last century. And having their shoulders touch or backs lean against each other was nothing out of the ordinary.

  After several strong requests from the group, Su Luo finally exchanged social media accounts with them. Fortunately, these few people in the entertainment industry are not small unknowns, at least they are not very famous, so they won't bring a lot of fans to her account just because they followed her, and her account can still maintain a clean circle for the time being.

  Several people who saw her previous post were all sighing in dismay.

  "I knew Xiaoying's family was having a hard time, but I didn't think it was this tough!" The girl who played the role of Ba exclaimed.

  "From now on, she's under my protection. You're not allowed to laugh at her again, got it? Whoever bullies her will have to deal with me." The woman who seemed to be the leader among them, and also the oldest and most experienced, spoke up.

  "With her conditions, she shouldn't have to work so hard, whether it's finding a rich boyfriend or getting into the entertainment industry. I don't know what she's thinking." The woman in her twenties expressed her thoughts, feeling a bit envious of Su Luo but also sympathetic towards her.

  "I think she's doing quite well now, reading books and earning her own money, living a carefree life. What's not good about that? It may be tough, but I believe she can get through it." The third woman retorted, having seen the dirty secrets of their circle, she didn't want this innocent little girl to step into it again.

  "My little Cong Cong, so pitiful! My heart aches for you, sister!" A woman pretended to wipe away tears.

  "If I were a man, I would find someone like Xiaoning to be my girlfriend. She's so filial and virtuous! Look at this embroidery, isn't it impressive?"

  "Go away! You're just a side dish! Xiaoying is everyone's!"

  ……

  Everyone you one word, I one word. From now on, Su Luo has won over the entire crew except for Tian Ming, a group of women. As for the men, they have always admired her and had no hostility towards her.

  Tian Bo brought Su Luo over, originally intending to humiliate her, but unexpectedly gave her a chance to stir up trouble, it can be said that he lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

  Get her out of here, no reason why the whole group is so fond of her now, and it was herself who suggested being a substitute in the first place. It's just that she can't bring herself to say it to Director Li, probably wouldn't work even if she did.

  Let her be, this kind of person is stubborn and always appears in crowded places, can't find a reason to put her in the wrong, openly confronting her would also ruin one's own image, not worth it.

  It's really... more disgusting than swallowing a fly!

  What infuriated her the most was that Director Li always had an expression of admiration and regret towards her, and it's said that he has already planned to let her play the female lead in the next play, saying that the other roles in this play are not brilliant enough to bring out her strengths.

  It's really... What a freaking advantage!

  She had reached her limit, and every "cut!" was like a loud slap in the face. She wasn't not trying hard enough, so why was heaven being so unfair! Even if she finally passed, Director Li's gaze seemed to say "you're just average, forget it."

  When has she ever suffered such humiliation!

  These people! One day she will make them all pay the price!

  Shen Ning! I am at odds with you!

  Just wait and see! There will be a day when you'll cry!

  Knowing where you're headed in the future, I don't believe I won't be able to take you down! Your dad is mine! The lead role is mine! Jiang Miao will also be mine!

  You can be as proud as you want, but it's useless! The audience sees me, the female lead, and you don't even have a chance to show your face! You still want to compare with me? Hahahaha!

  Due to the excessive pressure and depression, coupled with the need for sufficient mental and physical strength to support a day's filming, Tian Mian has increased his intake of poison since his rebirth.
