Two days later, at the set of Sound of Thunder 2, at 8 a.m.
There were a lot of people on set, even the workers, especially the actresses, who needn’t come in that day, were there.
They weren’t there to observe the shooting. Instead, they were there to see that one person.
Last night, out of the blue, the director – Wang Yan – sent out the message stating that the mysterious lead actor of the movie would be showing up the following morning.
There had long been a rumor that the lead actor would be a renowned celebrity, but he had never shown up so everyone was curious.
That curiosity was finally going to come to an end that morning so everyone showed up to see who that celebrity is.
Luo Fei was putting on make-up while the third lead actress, Zhao Mingjie, was standing beside her.
“Ms. Fei, my investigation finally became fruitful. That b**** Ding Mi had been fine because she had been bringing in her own make-up and using them, so we’ll have to find another way to get to her,” said Zhao Mingjie.
“What do you have in mind?” asked Luo Fei coldly.
“I am too dumb to come up with anything so Ms. Fei will have to take the lead. I can’t stand that b**** and want her gone too!” replied Zhao Mingjie.
“Are you saying that I spend my day coming up with ways to bully others?” asked Luo Fei.
“No, no, that’s not what I meant at all, Ms. Fei,” explained Zhao Mingjie.
“Then what do you mean? Let me tell you something. I have nothing against Ding Mi. I only wanted to get to her for you, to help you get revenge for having your role stolen by her. lied Luo Fei without even a hint of remorse.
“I know. I know you’re doing this for me. That is why I’ll do whatever you want, Ms. Fei, no matter what it is.” said Zhao Mingjie nicely.
“Do you have a good relationship with the crew?” asked Luo Fei all of a sudden.
“No, not really,” replied Zhao Mingjie.
Actresses like Zhao Mingjie loved to take advantage of their youth and beauty to climb up the corporate ladder. She would praise those who are more influential than her and ignore the rest so naturally, she’s not close with anyone working behind the scenes.
“Do you need to shoot anything today?” asked Luo Fei.
“No, I came in today to watch Ms. Fei’s scene with the mysterious actor. I wonder who that is?”
“The new actor is Zhen Lunlun,” answered Luo Fei with a smile.
“Huh? Him?!” Zhao Mingjie screamed, “The man known to be the new favorite actor whose beauty is comparable to that of a model?”
“That’s the one. The director wanted to keep him a secret, but I kept pushing so the director confessed,” said Luo Fei gleefully.
“Oh my god, I can’t believe it’s Zhen Lunlun! He was the hottest actor last year but disappeared all of a sudden. There has been a rumor that he went overseas to further his studies. This will be the first show he shoots after returning. Everyone will have their eyes on the show!” said Zhao Mingjie who couldn’t contain her excitement.
“The team hired him just for me.” bragged Luo Fei.
“Back then, he only played roles for the big screen. Ms. Fei, you really are something for getting a big shot like him to shoot a TV series with you!” exclaimed Zhao Mingjie with envy in her eyes.
“That’s right. This is his first series, and he did it to be seen with me,” explained Luo Fei.
“That makes sense. Only a celebrity like Zhen Lunlun is good enough for a star like Ms. Fei.” praised Zhao Mingjie to get to Luo Fei’s good side.
“Everyone will be distracted when Zhen Lunlun makes his appearance. Take that opportunity to put this in that b****’s costume.” ordered Luo Fei as she fished out a small box and hand it to Zhao Mingjie.
