Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup
Chapter 62 The Casting Controversy
"They won't let us sleep on the first day of filming," Dilraba complained to Shen Ze in a low voice. The first day of filming was for makeup testing, which had nothing to do with Shen Ze. But as someone's boyfriend, how could he let his girlfriend stay up all night alone? Anyway, there were many people, so he took the opportunity to stay.
The makeup session didn't start until 10 pm, which was noisy and chaotic. Shen Ze also met many colleagues, but neither the male nor female lead came. The most famous person was the second male lead, Luo Jin.
Seeing him, Shen Ze was very curious. He knew that he would marry Tang Yan in the future, but he didn't know what their relationship was like at the moment. However, he seemed to have worked with Tang Yan more than once, so their relationship must be more than just casual.
Shen Ze acted as if he were invisible, but Dilraba felt much more at ease seeing her boyfriend. As for socializing, Zhao Ruoyao came in person. She is now the general agent for everyone at Jiaxing Media except Yang Mi, and she usually handles things like joining a production team herself.
However, she will remain in Beijing for the rest of the year. As long as the executive manager is with the artist, they can communicate with the production crew. It's impossible for the actor to do everything on their own, as there are some things that are difficult to say. That's the role of an assistant and manager.
Shen Ze did not have an assistant on the set of "Diamond Lover". However, he had an assistant arranged by the company on the set of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer". Although the production cost was small, the production team still provided the actors with the treatment they deserved, as long as they did not act like divas.
It was a noisy night, but all we did was try out the makeup, take some photos, and then go to rest. We got ready to officially start filming.
Shen Ze secretly went directly to Dilireba's hotel to experience the softness of the four-star hotel bed. However, this kind of thing can't be done often. Zhao Ruoyao had specifically talked to him before he came, telling him to forget about their relationship when he went out to film.
The filming started at night. Shen Ze looked at the Home Inn behind him, the bus on his left, and the car on his right. This opening ceremony was a bit too simple. It wasn't a big production of 150 million. It didn't look like one at all. You could have held it in front of the hotel where Dilraba was staying. Seriously, they're not even pretending anymore since there are no male and female leads.
The setup was really basic; it wasn't like a fancy hotel setup. It was just the entrance to one of those small roadside shops you see everywhere, with a few fruits, some incense sticks, and an incense burner. That was all it took to turn on the computer.
However, none of this mattered to Shen Ze. He just waited in the crew and went on stage when it was his turn. His script was only a few pages long, but he knew all the plot details by heart. Zhao Ruoyao even told him to take a look at the script of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" when he had nothing to do.
Suddenly, her arm was shaken. She glanced at Dilraba, who was talking to her assistant. Without even thinking, she knew it was Dilraba who did it. But Dilraba, she can't do this. Why is she so unsteady?
For the next three days, he watched Dilraba act. The male lead had already joined the crew, but he was only curious about one thing: what was the situation with the female lead?
He's too familiar with Dilraba; he knows her filming schedule. It seems like Dilraba has scenes every day. Is the female lead not joining the production, so he's having her fill in the gaps?
"Reba, you don't seem happy." That night, Dilireba called Shen Ze late at night. Shen Ze went to her hotel and noticed that something was wrong with her as soon as he entered.
"Baby, I heard them say that they're going to replace me." Dilraba's voice was weak when she said this.
"What? That can't be right. They've already signed a contract." Shen Ze was stunned.
"I heard that Gao Wen will be given to someone else, and I'll be given another role," Dilraba said.
"There must be a reason, you're in pretty good shape," Shen Ze said. In his previous life, he only knew that the role of Gao Wen made Dilraba a star. Could there have been a risk of being replaced in the role?
"I don't know, that's what the producer said. But the company told me to act well and not to worry. I don't know what it means, baby, I'm so scared," Dilraba said.
"It's hot, it's okay. You acted so well, and it was so rushed, where would they find someone to replace you? But you can take this opportunity to be more uninhibited. Don't be shy. Just think that you're going to be replaced anyway, so just have some fun," Shen Ze reassured him.
"How can I let go?" Dilraba said.
"Don't worry about what others say, just act like Cheon Song-yi, who cares?" Shen Ze could also sense that Dilraba wasn't actually that open, but since she had just joined the crew, she seemed to be quite normal.
"What if I really get replaced?" Dilraba was still anxious.
"Then let's look for opportunities in other films and TV series. It's hot, right? We're all newcomers now. The entertainment industry is inherently cruel. Compared to those extras, we're actually quite fortunate, aren't we? Don't put too much pressure on yourselves," Shen Ze said.
"Mmm, kiss." Dilraba looked up at her boyfriend. All she wanted was comfort. That's how women are; their mindset is different from men's. When faced with a problem, a man might think about how to solve it, but a woman just wants him to make her feel better right now.
The next day, Shen Ze could clearly sense the difference in Dilraba. He figured it out. As for changing the role, that was the production team's idea, and no one could control it. However, everyone knew one thing: the longer someone acted, the more difficult and costly it would be to change them. If you let Dilraba act for more than ten days and then change her, then there would be some problems.
As the days went by, on the seventh day of filming, Dilraba no longer wanted to change the actress. She had already noticed that just two days ago they were talking about changing the actress, but now she had more and more scenes to play, even more than in the script.
"It seems the female lead can't join the crew this month, and everyone can't be idle, so we plan to finish filming the other people's scenes first. It seems my scenes have increased a bit." Privately, she figured out why, and she was gossiping about it with Shen Ze.
"Wow, that's impressive. I saw her news the other day, and my idol even said she's always late. But I didn't expect her to be even more ruthless this time. She's going to join the crew a month later than the start of filming. I bet she didn't say that before filming started, otherwise the crew would definitely have waited patiently and wouldn't have started filming now," Shen Ze said.
There's no turning back once the arrow is released, and the same goes for starting the machine. If we don't start the machine, everyone can adjust the time and wait, but once we start the machine, we can't stop even if the main characters aren't there yet. So many people have come, and they all have their schedules; every day is money.
"It seems her movie project has been delayed; it was originally scheduled to wrap up filming in the next few days," Dilraba said.
"No wonder. Who cares? With her playing like this, I believe you'll definitely become a huge star in this show," Shen Ze said.
"With your silver tongue, your 'Wu Xin: The Monster Killer' will definitely be a huge hit," Dilraba said.
I think so too.
"Shameless, you just agreed. Your scene is almost here, isn't it?" Dilraba said.
"Yes, I have to thank the female lead. Since she wasn't coming, we filmed your scenes first. All my scenes are with you and the male lead, which is perfect," Shen Ze said.
