Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother Novel - Chapter 66

Chapter 66: I’m Just a Supporting Actor

When they arrived at the filming location, the crew got to work, feeling very energized. After all, working with such a famous female celebrity was all they could wish for.

Chu Jinyu handed the props that she had originally prepared for herself to the blond girl and said, “We’re planning an ‘angels and demons’ theme. The angels will be the protagonists showcasing the company’s new lipstick.”

Obviously, she instinctively felt that the other party was here to play the female protagonist.

However, Emma Stone quickly waved her hand and said, “I’m only here to play a minor supporting role this time. You should be the female lead.”

Being invited by the boss of Star Creation was already a rare blessing for her. Even playing a minor supporting role was enough to satisfy her. No matter what, this was a good assignment that her friends could not even get.

Moreover, the document sent to her clearly stated that she was in charge of playing one of the Evil Demons.

Everyone gasped again!

The child star and very experienced Emma Stone was actually willing to be cast in a supporting role?

“Is there something wrong with our hearing?” they wondered.

They could understand if their boss was also an international superstar, but… according to their understanding, she did not have acting experience. She was a complete novice in this aspect. In addition, Emma Stone’s acting skills were a given.

They could not help but suspect that the boss must have a lot of connections.

Then again, even Chu Jinyu herself seemed very surprised, so they could not wrap their heads around it.

The mastermind, Lu Ming, simply stood by the side and smiled without saying a word. Now that he had the ability to let his childhood friend lead a good life, why should he let someone steal her thunder?

“Me?!”

Chu Jinyu looked startled. She was just a newbie who knew nothing about filming. “Since there is a better candidate, why do they need me to come on board personally?”

She asked curiously, “Is Ms. Emma dissatisfied with the plot or something? We can discuss it again.”

“No, I’m very satisfied with your script. To be honest, I haven’t seen such a trendy plot in a long time. It was actually arranged by that gentleman. I think if you play the role of an angel, the effects will definitely be much better.”

Emma Stone did not mind saying a few nice things. What if the boss of Star Creation was still secretly observing their every move? Even if he was not, it was fine to just flatter them.

To her, there were pros and cons.

But to others, this was equivalent to a nuclear explosion!

“That gentleman’s arrangement?”

It was good enough to have her accept the invitation despite her busy schedule, but casting Emma Stone in a supporting role was unthinkable?!

“Unbelievable!” everyone thought.

They began to wonder about the identity of that gentleman. Which big shot could make an A-list celebrity go so far? Could he be from an aristocratic family?

Although they racked their brains, they did not guess that the person was Lu Ming, who was wearing ordinary clothes and standing right in front of them.

He kept such a low profile that no one noticed him.

Ah Cheng was completely captivated by his goddess. He muttered, “What status does this gentleman have to convince Ms. Emma Stone to take on the assignment?”

“I can’t guess who this gentleman is, but I think we won’t be able to guess even if we guess for three days and three nights. I’ve given up. We just need to know that the company doesn’t have to lose so much money.”

Yuelian placed her hands behind her head and glanced at the pale Shu Shengzi. She chuckled disdainfully and said, “This is much better than some big shot. She really thinks she’s a superstar. A real superstar doesn’t even say anything. Instead, she’s very happy to be a supporting actor.

Someone even turned down the female protagonist role that was offered to her. It was unthinkable, right? Oh, right, I almost forgot that someone was fawning over Miss Emma Stone but was treated as non-existent by her. How stupid! It seems that stupid is as stupid does.”

She belittled Shu Shengzi mercilessly, her words hurting her heart. As for Shu Shengzi, she pursed her lips tightly and did not say anything because what Yuelian said was the truth.

She was the one who went back on her word at the last minute. She was the one who played the crew like monkeys and fawned over Emma Stone.

She thought that everything would go according to her plan. According to the plan, she would have left by now. Perhaps the crew might even cry and beg her to shoot the commercial.

However…

All of this was disrupted by the sudden appearance of Emma Stone!

Not only did her plan fail, but she was also mocked by these people.

“Why?!” she wondered.

“Why did Emma Stone come here in person?”

Traces of blood appeared on her red lips, but she paid no attention to it. She was completely immersed in her own world and could not extricate herself.

An Shiling glanced at Shu Shengzi calmly, feeling quite pleased with herself. “If she could just obediently finish filming the commercial, take the money and leave, wouldn’t that be great? But she had to create trouble,” she thought.

She looked around and her gaze rested on Lu Ming for a few seconds. Although the boss said that he was the new in-charge, his presence was not felt after his initial appearance surprised them.

“Come to think of it, what was the expression of the new in-charge when the private jet landed just now?”

She could not remember.

At that time, her attention was all on Emma Stone, so how could she have noticed him?

The reason she was puzzled now was mainly because she felt that this person was too calm and did not fit in with them. However, he did not look like someone with a high position. Perhaps she was thinking too much.

On the set, Chu Jinyu saw that Emma Stone was determined to make her the female lead, so she did not continue to reject her. She said, “My acting skills might not be very good. If I do anything wrong, please forgive me.”

“It’s fine. My acting skills were very bad at first.”

Emma Stone said with a smile. She thought that the other party would have a terrible personality. It seemed that she had guessed wrongly. “She is polite and refined,” she thought to herself, “Perhaps she comes from an influential family?”

“Let’s begin now!”

Wu Yong said excitedly.

The crew got busy all at once. Shu Shengzi was tacitly ostracized by them.

“Boss, your expression has to be gentler. You’re an angel now, not a devil who’ll fight the next second!”

Chu Jinyu looked at the photographer helplessly and said, “I’m already at my limit.”

“You’re more like a devil than an angel.”

The photographer looked at the camera and sighed. It did not go smoothly from the start. What should he do next?

Emma Stone, who was standing at the side, seemed to have noticed something. After changing into a black dress and wings, she quickly walked to Chu Jinyu’s side and whispered a few words. Chu Jinyu’s expression immediately became much gentler.

Instantly, the photographer’s eyes lit up. Emma was indeed an experienced actress.

“Yes, yes, yes! That’s it!”
