Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 69 A loud bang in the sky, the old servant makes a dazzling appearance.
Jiang Nanxi went directly to find the director.

As soon as he entered, he saw the newly replaced female lead sitting on the director's lap, feeding him fruit.

Jiang Nanxi frowned and said, "Director Zheng, I passed the audition. Didn't they say I was going to play the female lead?"

Director Zheng glanced at her impatiently, "You're a newcomer and you want to play the female lead? It's not even dark yet, stop dreaming. I only agreed to it to give Director Xue face."

"What do you mean by paying me 10,000 yuan per scene? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

"Do you know that some actors want to act in my dramas, and would rather not get paid? Take the role or leave it, there are plenty of other people who would like to take it!"

"Okay, okay, I'll act it out."

Jiang Nanxi smiled at the director and said, "But I hope you remember one thing: you get what you pay for."

Director Zheng completely ignored Jiang Nanxi and was eating fruit with the female lead. Jiang Nanxi immediately raised her phone and started snapping photos of him.

What are you filming?!

Director Zheng then realized what was happening, abruptly shoved the female lead aside, and glared at Jiang Nanxi with an unfriendly expression.

Jiang Nanxi slipped out immediately.

This Director Zheng has a family; his wife is the only daughter of a well-known entertainment company owner. But while he keeps his wife in check at home, he's having affairs outside.

The newly cast actress is actually his mistress, whom he's been seeing for a long time. She sweet-talked him and whispered sweet nothings in his ear before filming started, and that's how she got the role.

Director Zheng heard Jiang Nanxi taking pictures, and he couldn't sit still, so he went out to find her.

Director Zheng: "What did you just film? Let me see your phone!"

Jiang Nanxi: "It's nothing."

Director Zheng: "Don't play dumb. If you dare to release these photos, I'll blacklist you, believe me? You can forget about working in the entertainment industry! Forget about acting, no one will even hire you for variety shows!"

Jiang Nanxi stared at his face for a moment, then looked at the face of the female lead not far away.

She suddenly said, "Have you ever heard the saying that if two people trust each other, then the third and fourth people are safe?"

"what?"

Director Zheng looked at her, puzzled.

Jiang Nanxi pointed at the female lead and said, "You and this woman have been together for quite a while, haven't you? Do you think you two are true love? But she has several true loves."

"If you let me play the lead role now, I'll tell you which directors and producers she's connected with. If you don't let me play it, I'll release her photos."

"impossible."

Director Zheng didn't believe it at all. "Shanshan was with me when she was in college. It's impossible for her to have a relationship with anyone else. Besides, she has a very simple personality and doesn't have so many crooked thoughts."

Tsk.

She knew how to seduce famous directors while still in college; how can she be innocent?

Jiang Nanxi patted his face on the spot, "Xiao Zheng, I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it, so don't blame me."

Director Zheng: ?
Seeing her arrogant behavior, Director Zheng was about to lose his temper when a staff member ran over and said, "Director, Ms. Liu has arrived, we can start filming!"

Director Zheng flung Jiang Nanxi's hand away, "Teacher Liu is here. Hurry up and finish your scene and get out of here, then delete the photos from your album!"
"If you dare to post this, I will absolutely not let you off the hook. You don't want to be banned as soon as you start to gain some fame, do you?"

After Director Zheng finished speaking, he rushed off to greet Liu Qingyan and then had to arrange the filming of the first scene.

Jiang Nanxi went to the dressing room to change into a maid's clothes, where she happened to run into the female lead, Chen Shan.

Chen Shan glanced at her disdainfully and said, "Do you think you can threaten Director Zheng by taking pictures? That will only make your end worse. The entertainment industry isn't as easy as you think. I gave my youth, my body, everything I had to get this. Why should I let you play the lead role?"

Jiang Nanxi: "You're so slutty! Did you steal my urine sample?"

Chen Shan: ?
Jiang Nanxi: "Haha, little beauty, I'm so sorry. I was just trying to eat some chicken feet, but I accidentally dropped them on your feet. I slurped them up for a while before realizing it was a problem. I'm really sorry." Chen Shan: ?
Chen Shan trembled with rage, pointing angrily at Jiang Nanxi, "What do you mean? Are you calling me a prostitute?!"

Jiang Nanxi shook her head, "No, prostitutes use their bodies to make money, you use your body to get roles, but the roles may not be yours, so you may not make any money, and you may even be surrounded and slapped by a group of wives. You are worse off than a prostitute."

"You...you..."

Jiang Nanxi made Chen Shan so angry she almost fainted. She was panting heavily in the dressing room when Jiang Nanxi slowly walked out.

Soon.

Chen Shan came out after changing her clothes, and the first scene, where the female lead accidentally entered the mansion of a wealthy young master, began.

The female lead, Chen Shan, was walking around in the courtyard of the manor when Liu Qingyan, playing the heir to a wealthy family, got out of a Rolls-Royce, and the two bumped into each other.

Liu Qingyan was unaware that the female lead had been changed and assumed that the female lead was Jiang Nanxi, so the first thing he looked at when he got out of the car was Jiang Nanxi, who was dressed in a maid's uniform.

Although he found it a little strange that Jiang Nanxi was wearing such clothes, seeing her inexplicably put him in a good mood, so he smiled slightly.

Jiang Nanxi: "Ah, young master hasn't laughed so happily in a long time."

Liu Qingyan:?

What kind of dialogue is this? Isn't she playing a female lead from an ordinary background? Did he misread the script?

The director and actress Chen Shan also looked puzzled, glancing at Jiang Nanxi with question marks on their faces.

She's not even in the role yet, why is she talking to herself and trying to get attention?
Since this line didn't hinder the plot, the director didn't bother with it.

Actress Chen Shan walked up to Liu Qingyan, then accidentally fell to the ground with a cry of surprise. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she said in a flustered manner like a fawn, "I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Liu Qingyan:?

Wait, who is this woman? What kind of line is that? Is she playing the female lead?

Jiang Nanxi's role was snatched away?

But isn't the female lead supposed to be a cool and aloof girl from an ordinary background but with excellent grades? How come this woman who had plastic surgery is playing such a weak and idiotic woman who can only cry?

A shadow fell over Liu Qingyan's face, and he asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"I... Waaaaah, I'm so sorry, I... I didn't mean to..."

Liu Qingyan's forehead twitched. "Answer my question. Can't you understand human language?"

"Waaaaah, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it, please don't be so mean."

"???"

This woman plays the female lead, and she even changed the lines, right? How come all of this doesn't match the script he read?!
Liu Qingyan took a deep breath and questioned, "Director Zheng, what's going on? What kind of acting is this?!"

Seeing that he was angry, Director Zheng quickly said, "Teacher Liu, there have been some changes in the casting arrangements. I forgot to tell you before filming started, so I'll explain it to you now! Shanshan is playing the female lead, um... her lines may have been changed a bit."

Feeling Liu Qingyan's cold gaze, Director Zheng's heart skipped a beat. "Uh, don't be angry, someone quickly get Teacher Liu a glass of water! Teacher Liu, you've never filmed an idol drama before, you don't know, these kinds of changes are very common in idol dramas!"

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Jiang Nanxi snatched the water cup from the staff member and rushed towards Liu Qingyan, shouting, "With a loud bang in the sky, this old servant makes a grand entrance! Young master, please have some water!"

Wow!
Jiang Nanxi slipped, and most of the cup of water spilled onto the face of the crying Chen Shan.

"Oops, I spilled water. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm clumsy and I fell down."

Jiang Nanxi pretended to fall to the ground, but Liu Qingyan reached out and grabbed her, his strong, lean arm encircling her waist and lifting her up.
