The grandiose ambitions I had just now were slapped away by this so-called script!
There's no script, no lines, nothing at all.
The email only contained one sentence, which was to have me play the Cleaning Maid in "Allure."
An esteemed actress reduced to a cleaning lady, Her Majesty the Empress rejects such a role!
With no information provided, my only option was to search online for the drama.
"Allure" is a web series centered around power struggles, but let's not talk about the content for now.
When Xia Weibao saw the director's name, she almost couldn't control the surging energies within her about to erupt!
She really wanted to call Sister Tong and ask what grudge she held against her to harm her like this!
The director of "Allure" is Xu Jiayang.
Speaking of Xu Jiayang, it's a long story.
And compared to me, he's quite a match!
A graduate from the directing program, his first film broke a hundred million at the box office!
The only director in the country to have won an Oscar for Best Director!
He's made countless artists famous.
It could be said that there hasn't been an actor who worked under him who didn't become popular!
Impressive, right?
However, this young and promising genius director suddenly got exposed for raping female artists; to be in his movies, you had to sleep with him first.
Those who were unwilling were drugged, recorded on video, and blackmailed.
After a few days of a police station tour, his reputation was ruined.
Xia Weibao rested her cheek in her hand, another person blacklisted by the entertainment industry because of a scandal!
If I'm considered the top schemer in the entertainment circle, then Xu Jiayang is the scum of the directors' circle!
Me acting in Xu Jiayang's movie, haha, what a joke.
Even if it's just a cameo, I bet it would stir up a melodramatic scandal!
Yet, the next day, she still went to the set as agreed.
Opportunities had to be fought for by oneself.
The entertainment industry is a place that flows like water; new faces are always smiling, while no one hears the old ones crying.
To secure a foothold, one must have enough popularity!
And to gain popularity, one has to show their face!
I'm currently completely banned, I need to tear open an exit for myself!
Even if it's just as a cleaning lady, I've accepted it!
"Stop dawdling, hurry up and change your clothes!"
Xia Weibao had just arrived at the set when she heard a sharp scolding.
Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw two women in white ancient costumes standing not far away.
One of them she recognized, Lin Mier, a second-tier actress with a bit of fame.
However, even as a second-tier actress, in the crew of "Allure," she had the highest status.
"Allure," after all, is a low-budget web series with limited funds.
Furthermore, since Xu Jiayang was the director, no one was willing to invest or act in his movie.
Managing to get Lin Mier as the female lead was already unexpected.
Xia Weibao felt ashamed; such a crew was really...
Difficult to describe.
Lin Mier was still cursing, Xia Weibao wasn't listening carefully; just as she was about to change clothes, she saw the other woman in white turn around.
The face was so pockmarked it was terrifying, "completely disfigured" was an understatement to describe it.
Disfigured...
Because the face was so frightening, Xia Weibao couldn't help but take a second look and noticed that the woman walked in a peculiar way.
Before entering the palace in her past life, Xia Weibao was a renowned doctor in Jianghu, capable of miraculous medical feats!
So, with one glance, she could tell that the woman with the disfigured face had an old leg injury, and it was very serious.
"How unlucky, what is Director Xu thinking, getting such an ugly woman to be my martial arts double, it's made my skin worsen," Lin Mier arrogantly sat in a chair nearby, disdainfully pulling out a makeup mirror to touch up her makeup.
