Chapter 24: Changing the Plot

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Rou had played the role of her cousin and had gained a lot of fans. In her previous life, she had always appeared in the most heartbreaking female supporting roles in various television dramas.

Lu Rou was more suitable to play scheming b*tches.

“Change it however you see fit, Brother Li,” Lu Zhen said with a grin, leaving the decision to Director Li.

This surprised Director Li.

Although he and Lu Zhen had worked together on a few movies and they were familiar with each other, Lu Zhen’s reputation had never been good. She was famous for being aloof. Sometimes, when she saw her colleagues from the production team, she would only smile at most. Sometimes, she wouldn’t even go to the production team’s gathering.

Anyway, there were rumors about her acting like a big shot from time to time. This young lady who wasn’t even 18 years old didn’t seem to have many friends in the circle.

Now that her relationship with Lu Rou had become estranged, she became more approachable and talked more.

It was hard not to wonder. Had she been so unapproachable in the past because of the Lu family’s control?

“Brother Li, why are you looking at me? Is there a flower on my face?” Lu Zhen asked in surprise, then couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch her youthful face.

“No, but you’ve got a face prettier than flowers.” Director Li laughed. “Zhenzhen, if you stay the way you are today, I guarantee you’ll become insanely famous!”

Lu Zhen pretended to be shy. “Brother Li, don’t praise me. You’ll make me cocky.”

She had the right to be cocky. Just her beautiful face and her lively temperament were enough to make her a born actress. As long as it was a brand she had endorsed, sales would soar. As long as the ratings of the television dramas she filmed would rise, the box office would soar.

She had all sorts of fans.

As long as she was as talkative as she was today and expanded her social circle, many famous directors would support her.

They were chatting when Lu Rou arrived.

As soon as she saw that Lu Zhen was talking and laughing with the director, she felt uncomfortable. The director rarely chatted with her, the supporting actress, unless she didn’t act well.

Lu Zhen was the center of attention everywhere she went. She, Lu Rou, was a wallflower!

“Director Li, I’m here.” Lu Rou walked over and deliberately interrupted their conversation to make her presence felt.

Seeing Lu Rou arrive, Director Li looked meaningfully at Lu Zhen again. Was their relationship really as complicated as the revelations made them out to be?

However, based on intuition, Director Li trusted Lu Zhen more. He had seen countless people, so he knew how to read people.

Lu Rou was very popular in the production team. She sucked up to everyone and bought them drinks and snacks.

Lu Zhen often distanced herself from everyone, and she even “kindly” helped to explain. Many people said that the sisters’ personalities were really worlds apart. Of course, everyone preferred the cheerful Lu Rou.

Lu Zhen got misunderstood quite often!

“Sister, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to be an eyesore. I’m just here to work.” As soon as Lu Rou appeared, she started acting weak and pitiful, as if Lu Rou had really accused her.

Lu Zhen raised her eyebrows. This person really acted everywhere. No wonder she wanted to get into the entertainment industry.

“Sister Zhenzhen didn’t say anything. Why are you pretending to be pitiful?!” Sun Xiao rolled her eyes. Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was just loud enough for Lu Zhenzhen, Lu Rou, and Director Li to hear.

Lu Zhen nearly laughed. How did Sun Xiao understand her thoughts so well now?

“I…” Lu Rou’s face turned pale. She bit her lip in embarrassment.

“This is your private matter. Don’t bring it to work. Lu Rou, why don’t you go put on your makeup and change?” Director Li waved a hand.

Lu Rou nodded and went to put on makeup with anger.

After the makeup was done, Lu Rou realized that her scenes had been changed. Her previous kind character had been changed to an anti-hero!

It had to be known that characters could affect an actor’s real-life image. Some people who played the role of a pervert were treated as such in real life as well.

“Why were my scenes suddenly changed?” Lu Rou couldn’t help but question angrily.

“It’s the director and screenwriter’s idea.” the makeup artist suggested.
