Chapter 300 Cast Change, Pei'er Misunderstands
Director Feng's days in the detention center must have been difficult; he seems quite listless.
Although he looked physically and mentally exhausted, at least he was released, which is better than staying in the detention center.
Tang Xiaoge's face darkened not far away. He glanced silently at Ning Yao, who remained calm, and narrowed his eyes.
It seems he really is a busybody, meddling in other people's business. I thought Luo Xiyao was a tough person, but I didn't expect her to sell her conscience for such a petty gain and let a scumbag like Director Feng return to the crew.
Director Feng took a breath, silently scanned the people present, and finally walked towards Ning Yao.
The staff members all looked towards Director Feng and Ning Yao, wondering what was going to happen between them.
Will Director Feng lay a hand on that woman?
Regardless of the circumstances, this sudden imprisonment was all because of Luo Xiyao.
Ning Yao sat in the chair, looking at the script in her hands the whole time.
"Miss Luo." Director Feng's voice sounded hoarse and weak, and his stubble was dark and unkempt, making him look extremely disheveled.
Everyone strained their ears to hear what Ning Yao was saying, afraid of missing any exciting gossip.
"Hmm, you're here?" Ning Yao put down the script and lazily looked up at Director Feng.
Behind Director Feng was a woman who was looking at Ning Yao with curious eyes.
Ning Yao got up and walked over to Tang Xiaoge, asking with a smile, "Teacher Tang, are you free now?"
"I'm busy." Tang Xiaoge replied to Ning Yao without even looking up.
"Director Feng is here to hand over the reins. I've invited a new director from the industry. If you're free, Mr. Tang, why don't you go and meet him? If you don't think he's a good fit, you can find a director who works with you."
Producers and directors need time to work together. Although Director Feng has some shortcomings in his personal life, he is quite qualified to be a director, and he and Tang Xiaoge are quite compatible. Otherwise, Tang Xiaoge would not have chosen him to be the director of her film crew.
Ning Yao's meaning was clear: she wanted to replace Director Feng, and it was a must; she had already brought along a replacement.
Tang Xiaoge paused slightly, as if doubting Ning Yao's words, and glanced at Director Feng.
Director Feng was talking to the woman next to him and handing over a large bag of documents. It seemed he really was there to hand over the documents.
Whether it was her imagination or not, Ning Yao noticed that Tang Xiaoge's eyes had undergone a complete 180-degree turn, suddenly brightening.
This man is quite arrogant. It turns out he was sulking with her before, thinking she had given in to Boss Cai.
Thinking of this, Ning Yao silently curved her lips into a smile, a cunning glint in her eyes.
Ning Yao and Tang Xiaoge went to Director Feng's place together. The group stood together, their lips moving, but no one could hear what they were saying.
Zhao Peier glanced at Director Feng, then at the woman he had brought with him. Her first thought was that Director Feng had come out to settle scores with Luo Xiyao, probably to replace her as the lead actress, which was why he had brought a woman to the set.
The more Zhao Peier thought about it, the more she realized it made sense. With a happy expression, she quickly moved closer to the female supporting actresses and started gossiping.
"Let me tell you, this time when Director Feng returns to our crew, he will definitely be replacing the female lead."
"Huh? How did you know? Did you hear Director Feng say he was going to replace the female lead?"
"Do you even need to listen? Just look and you'll see. Isn't there a woman with Director Feng?"
"That's true. Luo Xiyao is in big trouble this time. She offended Director Feng and doesn't know how she'll be able to get along in the industry in the future. Director Feng has a huge network of connections and many old friends in the industry."
"In this industry, it's common for directors and investors to touch your thigh or face, or even sleep with you. I said she deserves it. Why be so picky? She's already in the industry as a female artist, does she expect to maintain a reputation for chastity?"
As Zhao Peier spoke, she became more and more enthusiastic, her face beaming with a rosy and joyful glow, as if she could already see Ning Yao being replaced and slinking back to school in a sorry state.
Ning Yao, who was talking to Tang Xiaoge ahead, suddenly raised her chin, as if she had noticed someone talking about her. With her fox-like eyes, she glanced sideways at Zhao Peier.
Zhao Peier felt flustered under Ning Yao's cold gaze. She forced herself to remain calm and kept telling herself that Luo Xiyao wouldn't last long. Offending Director Feng would bring her trouble in the industry.
With this in mind, Zhao Peier felt more confident. She straightened her back and adopted a victorious posture.
"???" Ning Yao was puzzled by Zhao Peier's strange behavior. She immediately raised her left eyebrow, her eyes filled with doubt.
"That's all. If you have any other questions, just give me a call."
Director Feng's voice suddenly rang out, and Ning Yao came back to her senses.
After turning her gaze away from Zhao Peier, Ning Yao discovered that Director Feng had basically completed the handover with Tang Xiaoge and the new female director.
"Director Feng, take care." The female director smiled and shrugged. She was of above-average appearance, looking honest and simple, but her eyes revealed shrewdness.
These words were indeed a double entendre. Ning Yao glanced at the female director and smiled slightly.
Before leaving the set, Director Feng glanced at Ning Yao and felt that this woman's identity was becoming increasingly mysterious.
It turns out that Luo Xiangzhi was also connected to her, and even secretly helped her get in touch with a recently popular new female director.
That's Luo Xiangzhi, a legend in the entertainment industry...
Luo Xiangzhi became the CEO of Xianyue Entertainment Company in his early thirties. As a former top agent, he had made countless male and female artists famous and had a considerable network of connections.
Director Feng sighed, his frustration evident on his face as he thought about all this.
Forget it, he can't afford to mess with this woman. He might as well admit his mistake and have a few more good days ahead of him.
Seeing Director Feng lift his leg and walk out of the film set, Zhao Peier seized the opportunity to follow him.
She didn't show herself when there were many people around. Instead, she waited until Director Feng got into his car before quickly grabbing the door, looking around to make sure no one had noticed, before squeezing into the car.
Director Feng was startled to find himself being followed, and the fat on his belly jiggled.
"Who are you? Who let you into my car?" Director Feng stared at Zhao Peier for a long time, but he didn't recognize her.
"Director Feng, I'm Zhao Peier, the niece of Teacher Zhao Xiaojing. Don't you remember me?"
"Zhao Xiaojing? Oh, you want to see me?" Director Feng knew Zhao Xiaojing; she was a former movie queen who had long since faded into obscurity, now old and frail.
"Well, I just wanted to ask you, is our production team going to replace the female lead in 'The Commander's Wife'?"
"Who told you they were going to change the female lead?"
"I know everything, so you don't need to hide it from me."
Zhao Peier looked at Director Feng with eyes full of anticipation, practically wearing the words "I'm interested in the lead actress position" on her face.
Director Feng has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he's become a shrewd and experienced person.
He knew exactly what Zhao Peier meant; she must have made a mistake, thinking the production team wanted to replace Luo Xiyao, not the director.
That's generally true; no film crew changes directors so easily, though actors might be replaced.
"Oh, so what brings you here? Are you interested in the lead actress role?"
"Anyone in the entertainment industry who doesn't strive for success is bound to be ambitious. Of course I want to be the leading lady!" Zhao Peier's heart leaped into her throat at the thought of playing a couple with Tang Xiaoge.
Director Feng's eyes darted around. Seeing that Zhao Peier was quite pretty, his wicked thoughts immediately surfaced, and his gaze gradually became lewd.
He's been locked up in the detention center recently and hasn't had any sex in a long time. Zhao Peier is offering herself up, so why shouldn't he take her?
"A female lead isn't out of the question, it just depends on how you do it." Director Feng smiled, and his legs, which had been crossed, suddenly opened.
Zhao Peier blushed slightly. She knew that she had to make sacrifices to get the lead role, but she couldn't bring herself to do it to a middle-aged, greasy man like Director Feng.
She kept brainwashing and encouraging herself, her aunt often saying that nothing ventured, nothing gained, and that one should stop at nothing to achieve their goals...
If she could have sex with Director Feng in the car, she would be able to act opposite Tang Xiaoge, which was something she had always dreamed of!
Director Feng watched as Zhao Peier's expression changed repeatedly, eventually settling on a docile, flattering, and endearing look.
Seeing her like this, Director Feng knew it was a done deal. He gripped his belt, gave it a light tug, and pulled down her pants.
The woman in front of him raised her hand to brush her hair aside, leaned her head forward, bent her upper body, and made a crawling motion.
Director Feng gasped instantly, grabbed Zhao Peier's hair, and slowly moved his chubby hand down to the woman's neck, her delicate collarbone, continuing downwards without pausing...
