Chapter 575: He’s Here!! (15)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Mo Xicheng was a supporting actor in the movie, and in the entertainment industry he was a low-profiled figure who enjoyed moderate popularity, he was Shen Liangchuan’s friend.
Besides, everyone had their unique own vibe.
Even if he wasn’t too eye-catching, he had enough presence for people to not normally say no to him.
However, this time around, the stage supervisor hesitated.
He glanced at s.h.i.+ Nianyao with a worried expression and lowered his voice, saying, “It’s not that I don’t wish to help. Qiao Yiyi instructed to turn these two extras away.”
He sighed after saying this. “You should know the sort of person Qiao Yiyi is. I can’t afford to offend someone who has been appointed by an investor.”
At the mention of the investor, s.h.i.+ Nianyao immediately frowned.
Surely, such a large filming crew had more than one investor.
Indeed, the production of Ambition had a few investors and s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s family was one of them.
She opened her mouth to speak, but Mo Xicheng said at the same time, “Why is that so?”
The stage supervisor paused and replied after a moment, “I’m not sure. Perhaps Qiao Yiyi feels that Ms. s.h.i.+ is too pretty?”
Mo Xicheng’s expression darkened and his eyes turned gloomy, making him seem quite frightening.
The stage supervisor immediately became respectful and said, “Te- Teacher Mo, I hope you won’t make things too difficult for me. I’m only a stage supervisor! Perhaps it’s best that you spoke with the director about this matter?”
Upon saying this, he suddenly realized that he was being overly meek with a n.o.body.
Casting his gaze down, Mo Xicheng said, “I understand.”
He ultimately did not put the stage supervisor in a spot.
The latter wiped his forehead and quickly slipped away.
Mo Xicheng’s expression was still gloomy after the stage supervisor left.
He turned to look at s.h.i.+ Nianyao.
The look of eager antic.i.p.ation in her eyes made him suddenly feel quite helpless and useless.
All these years, he had just kept a low profile and earned enough to meet his own daily needs.
He had never considered fame seriously, and his personal att.i.tude had never changed just because he was an actor.
Like the saying went, “no desires, no demands.”
But in fact, today he suddenly felt as though he had an aim for the first time in his life.
Mo Xicheng suddenly turned around, took s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s hand and pulled her along. “Follow me.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao paused and asked, “Where are we going?”
Mo Xicheng turned to her and suddenly smiled. “To look for the director.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao was taken aback.
In a daze and not knowing what was going on, she was pulled along by Mo Xicheng and found herself standing before the director.
The director smiled at once when he saw Mo Xicheng. “Teacher Mo, what’s up? What is the matter?”
Although Mo Xicheng was not one of those hot celebrities, he had a significantly loyal fandom.
Without beating around the bush, he said to the director, “Ms. Qiao said she doesn’t like this extra and wants her to leave the cast.”
The director was stunned for a moment. “What do you mean?”
“So does that mean if Ms. Qiao says that she doesn’t like me, then I’ll have to leave as well?”
Stupefied, the director remarked, “How- how would that be possible?”
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes and continued, “I don’t think I’ve been told… Since when does Ms. Qiao have the last say on the filming crew?”
The director’s expression soured. “Teacher Mo, I think it’s wrong of you to say that. How could our filming crew be like that?”
As the two men were speaking, someone ran up to them, saying, “Director, the investor’s car has pulled up at our main door!”
The director was immediately stunned when he heard this. “So soon?”
From the time the investor had called up to this moment, merely two hours had pa.s.sed.
Had this person travelled with a personal jet?
