BXBX NOVEL Chapter 61 - The Scene Starts Now!
"Fickle fans! They just change their mind whenever they feel so. And what about this sister thing? Why is she calling our goddess as sister? I hate her and her every words, I really, really, really wish to kick her away from this college campus," Si-ting mumbled.
Seeing his enraged form, Caixia patted his shoulder to calm him down but stopped as she felt chill down her nerves.
"All the A listed actress are busy with their schedule and I don\'t believe that S listed actress will come to take the position so easily for which Sister Jeremy was invited. So, it will be hard for us to find someone, too!" said Lucy while observing the director face.
Director stood up from his chair and said, "You will be the main female lead and as for the second female lead, call for some B listed actress to perform".
Lucy hesitated and glanced at Jeremy with a sad look. "I don\'t think I should do the female leading role, Director! I am not as good as Sister Jeremy who is already a S lister, whereas I am only an A lister," Lucy said awkwardly.
Ack! Something is creeping me here and I don\'t know what it is. What can make me feel chilly from time to time? It feels as if someone is sneakily staring me but from where?
Looking here and there, Caixia eyes stopped at Jeremy who was staring her with a strange smile.
What\'s with that stare and smile? Why do I feel that she is gonna do something off! My sixth sense is telling me to escape from here before another thunder strikes at me.
As Caixia thought it through, she stepped back while making sure that Si-ting doesn\'t notice, but before she could turn around to run away, she flinched by Jeremy words and other stare.
"Yes, you are absolutely right, Lucy! I don\'t think you\'re fit for this role with that little experience of yours and I am afraid that my fan might loath you without any reason and blame the misfortune brought upon me on you, so it\'s better for you to not take that position," said Jeremy as she stood up with a firm grip on things going around.
Lucy smiled awkwardly and flinched. She bit her lips since the things were not going the way she wanted it, too.
"Its ok, sister Jeremy. You can just clear the rumors by doing a live video, in that way, no one will blame me," she said.
Looking at her wits, Jeremy chuckled and said to the director, "Its not that I don\'t believe in Lucy\'s acting, it\'s just that I don\'t like to give up the things I have started. My substitute is not picking up the call and she is far away from the city, therefore I will just get another substitute".
Lucy frowned as she stared Jeremy and smiled as Jeremy looked at her.
"It\'s a …good idea sister, but from where are you going to search a talented substitute all of a sudden," asked Lucy hesitantly while putting up a fake smile.
Jeremy ignored her and stepped toward the director. She had a confident look which was breaking the confident of those who wished to break her apart.
"I have someone in my mind and she is right here, if director won\'t mind then I would like to take her as my substitute for a few days," said Jeremy with a confident smile.
Lucy bit her lips and tried to stop director from accepting the offer, "How can sister Jeremy choose someone randomly, it\'s a breach to professionalism".
"Ok, I will give one chance to your substitute but if she fails in it, then there is no need for any further conversation. Now bring her here and let me examine her whether she fits your position or not," the director said.
Being ignored by director and others, Lucy gritted her teeth and clenched her fist but kept her smile visible for others.
\'Why didn\'t the director go with my words? He is the famous director who hates bribes and his every movie get acknowledged even by foreigners, so why is he teaming with Jeremy? Is it only a rumor that he have no lust for bribes? If he doesn\'t take bribes, then why is he siding with Jeremy?\' wondered Lucy.
Since Director himself didn\'t considered Lucy acting any closer to Jeremy, he agreed to Jeremy words but Lucy considered it a bribe because she herself was unknown of her acting skill potential.
"Caixia! Lin Caixia! I think that she is perfect for being my substitute!" said Jeremy cheerfully while staring at Caixia with her sparkling eyes.
"What?!" Caixia jaws dropped and she turned back while glaring her.
Caixia was putting a fake smile but her annoyed face was visible to others.
Lucy chuckled, her hand covering her mouth and eyes smiling, too. She almost felt that Jeremy have gone mad for giving her role to a no one like Caixia who was famous for being a play boy. Looking at Caixia annoyed face, she become confident that the role will soon be in her hand and she will become a S listed directly after completing the movie.
"Ah, sister Jeremy please don\'t mind me, its just that your joke is, too, funny! How can she act in your place when she have never acted before. Since I consider sister Jeremy as a very precious person to me, I will advise you to not waste the director time," Lucy said with a grin.
Si-ting annoyingly glared her and mumbled, "tsk! This annoying hedgehog is finally showing her true colors, but I won\'t let her succeed".
Before Caixia could reject Jeremy offer, Si-ting grabbed her hand and said with confidence, "She isn\'t professional but since my goddess have chosen her, I believe in her judgement and will ask Director Wan to give her a chance".
Caixia left petrified. She knew Si-ting behavior but for him to be so agitated and aggressive was something, Caixia didn\'t know.
At that time she was sure that Si-ting could do anything if his goddess asked him to, but why would a fan go this far?
The determination in Si-ting eyes was enchanting and Caixia sighed. She glanced at Jeremy and said, "Come with me for a second, I need to have a private conversation with you".
Lucy was biting her nails while glaring down, \'Why does the things turned like this? Huh! No matter what they do, I will definitely take the leading role position and become a \'S\' lister suppressing others\'.
As soon as Jeremy went together with Caixia a little away from the crowd, Caixia said, "You are not expecting me to do the work for free, are you?".
Jeremy smirked as she replied, "Of course, I can pay you as much as you want since it is something I need urgently and desperately. I believe that you can understand! It\'s a win- win situation, you need money and I need substitute but I will only pay you if your acting is good enough for the director to keep you in my place".
Caixia grinned, she have never acted before in front of a camera but she have disguised herself and acted many role when it comes to assasination in her past life.
So, this doesn\'t looked, too, challenging to her and she said, "You don\'t have to worry about that! If I am taking the work then I will complete but what I need is not money but an ambassador for my company".
Jeremy was shocked, she initially thought that Caixia was in need of money and since her body structure is good, she would be perfect for the role with a little bit of nice acting skill, but it was different.
The confidence in Caixia eyes when she said those words felt like an actress who have acted in many movies and have already become a movie queen with a lot of experience.
Jeremy gulped as her eyes got stuck at Caixia confident look and smiled, "Since we both want something from each other, there is no need for a \'no\' to appear here".
They both smirked and left to succeed in achieving their goal after having a satisfying chat.
\'She wants me to be the face of her company, well that\'s something which depends only on her,\' Jeremy went back as she thought.
Looking at Si-ting after coming back, Caixia sighed, "Brat, I have a feeling that you will not hesitate from selling me if it is something your goddess needs".
Si-ting smiled awkwardly and looked away to avoid Caixia stare while rubbing his head.
"Then we should start the shooting without further delay and Caixia, I will give you only two chance but if you won\'t succeed, that will be the end as a substitute for you," director Wan said.
Caixia nodded aloofly and glanced at Lucy who was smiling while being annoyed.
Look at her face, she might show her real face anytime and since she is the friend of the female lead in the movie, so I don\'t think that there will be much trouble while dealing with her.. So, what matter now is the two male lead who are yet to come back.
