Chapter 2068: Ten Times, Come Down
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Liang Xuer looked up abruptly. “When?”
“I just got off the plane. The comments online haven’t been good for the past two days. He must have come back to support you!”
These words silenced the entire crew.
Come back to support Liang Xuer?
She had to believe him.
!!
Everyone in the industry knew that Liang Xuer was someone Li Tingshen doted on.
It was common for celebrities to be trending because of scandals, but Liang Xuer had never been trending because of scandals.
It was already a big deal for her to be criticized online.
Guo Mingcheng didn’t think so. Li Tingshen was well aware of Liangxu’s character. In the past, he would turn a blind eye and give her a few reminders.
However, after knowing that something had happened to Liang Xuer, he didn’t say much. Instead, he asked her to speed up the filming.
She was obviously ignoring this matter.
If he really wanted to care about her, there was no need for him to rush back personally to support her. It was just a matter of words.
Speaking of which, weren’t they the ones who came to support Liang Xuer?
Although she couldn’t guess if Li Tingshen had returned because of Liang Xuer, she couldn’t afford to offend her now.
“Alright, bring Xu’er to rest.”
The two a.s.sistants helped Liang Xuer up and gave her a resentful look. “Then we shouldn’t be needed for the next scene, right?”
Suppressing his temper, the director said, “Your health is more important.”
Liang Xuer tiptoed and said apologetically, “Sorry, Director, I might not be able to shoot this scene for a while. I’m afraid I really need a subst.i.tute…”
As she spoke, her gaze swept across the set before landing on Ye Qingqiu, who was sitting there with an ugly expression.
The director followed her gaze and his eyes lit up when he saw Ye Qingqiu’s face that was similar to Liang Xuer’s. Even her figure and temperament coincided.
Wasn’t this a ready-made subst.i.tute?
There was no need to slap her face when she fell off the cliff. Her body was enough.
“Manager Ye?”
Ye Qingqiu was feeling troubled because she was about to meet Li Tingshen. When she heard the director’s voice, she frowned and looked up.
“Yes?”
“I can see that your figure and aura are similar to Xu’er’s. Can you…”
“I can’t.”
Ye Qingqiu interrupted the director and said that she looked like Liang Xuer.
The director felt awkward. After a while, he said,
“It’s not for nothing. I spent money.”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “I’m afraid of heights.”
“I’ll double your price.”
“I’m dizzy from hanging.”
“Get over it and I’ll give you double.”
“I’m water-sick.”
The director gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll pay five times the price.”
Ye Qingqiu said reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
She would fight for her son.
Liang Xuer’s lips twitched. She didn’t expect that the princess of Ping Cheng, Ye Qingqiu, who didn’t lack anything back then, would do this for money.
As her subst.i.tute?
Ha.
Xiao Chu, who had been hiding outside and didn’t dare to show her face on set, heard that Ye Qingqiu was going to be Liang Xuer’s subst.i.tute and jump into the water. She was so frightened that her scalp went numb and she hurriedly called Li Tingshen.
As she was a stunt double, Ye Qingqiu didn’t have to show her face. She had only changed into one costume.
Without makeup, the quality of the stunt double’s costume was naturally not as exquisite as Liang Xuer’s costume. However, when it came to Ye Qingqiu, it did not seem to be inferior to Liang Xuer’s.
Although their figures were similar, Ye Qingqiu’s figure seemed to be more perfect. She was also taller than Liang Xu’er.
Seeing her expression, Pei Yaochi praised, “If you become an actress, your agency will probably go crazy…”
“I don’t know how to act.”
Ye Qingqiu despised the clothes on her and lowered her head to tidy them up.
“With your figure and face, why do you need acting skills? Just by being a pretty face, you can cause a sensation in the entire entertainment industry. You’ll definitely get all the luxury endors.e.m.e.nts in the world.”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “How much is the endors.e.m.e.nt fee?”
“Your quality starts at tens of millions?”
Ye Qingqiu blinked her eyes.
He was tempted.
After she tidied her clothes, she planned to go to Shangwei.
Liang Xuer didn’t change her clothes or remove her makeup. She sat under the umbrella outside and two a.s.sistants squatted in front of her to bandage her wound.
Her gaze followed Ye Qingqiu to the pressure and watched as the person in charge of the safety of the set personally exerted pressure on her.
Although her leg hurt, Ye Qingqiu was about to fall off the cliff and fall into the water.
For such a scene, it would definitely require multiple scenes to be edited. Therefore, it would definitely not be filmed only once.
Otherwise, why did she think she could get such a high salary?
After Ye Qingqiu secured the pressure and ensured her safety, she felt like she was on a swing.
It felt…
Hmm… not bad.
The ignorant were innocent.
She walked to the edge of the cliff and saw the terrain. She suddenly felt…
Indeed, the money wasn’t for nothing.
Just as Ye Qingqiu was fantasizing about jumping off the building, the director who was on the phone walked over with a sullen expression.
“Forget it, stop being a subst.i.tute.”
Ye Qingqiu was speechless.
What was the saying?
Her pants were off.
“Director, are you joking with me?”
The director laughed bitterly. “How would I dare?”
“Then film it.”
Ye Qingqiu naturally refused, thinking that it was easy for her to agree to be a subst.i.tute.
“It’s too dangerous…”
“Where’s the money?”
The director was stunned for a moment before saying subconsciously, “Since we’re not filming anymore, naturally…”
After all these years of careful planning and budgeting, he had at least 100,000 yuan as a subst.i.tute. What could he do with this money?
“That won’t do. We have to film it.”
Upon hearing that, Ye Qingqiu gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
The director had never expected Ye Qingqiu to do this.
Who could afford such a huge sum of money?
Seeing that she was about to change her mind, Liang Xuer gritted her teeth and said, “Director, since you’re acting for me, you should deduct the labor fee from me. This scene is so important, I’m willing to pay more.”
The director had a headache. “This isn’t about money…”
It was Mr Li’s a.s.sistant who had called to warn Miss Ye not to act.
Didn’t the a.s.sistant mean Mr Li?
How dare he use it?
But Ye Qingqiu obviously wouldn’t give in.
Seeing how stubborn the director was, Xiao Chu couldn’t help but walk over.
“Miss Ye, I… am willing to give you ten times the money, so… can you get off the wire first?”
