Almost at the same time, Ning Yuan received a call from Wang Juntian. He thought it was about signing a contract, but it turned out to be about changing the lead actress.
After listening to what he had to say, Ning Yuan's mind went blank for a moment. "Wang, are you joking with me?" he asked.
"How could I joke about something like this? We all know how stubborn Lao Zhao can be. If he thinks Mo'er isn't suitable for the role, he won't let her play the lead actress," Wang Juntian replied, his tone distant and cold.
Ning Yuan was about to say something when the other party suddenly hung up. The cold mechanical sound of the phone echoed in his ears, and his face darkened.
"Was it about the contract or the payment?" Yu Mo'er asked absentmindedly, running her fingers through her hair."Changing the lead actress," Ning Yuan said in a low voice.
"What? Who are they changing it to?" Yu Mo'er's hand froze in mid-air, and she looked at Ning Yuan in confusion.
"I don't know," Ning Yuan shook his head.
"Well, find out who it is as soon as possible," Yu Mo'er said firmly before turning around and leaving the dressing room to continue filming.
After the shoot was over and she had removed her makeup at the hotel, Yu Mo'er posted a Weibo message with a picture of the hotel's exterior. "It's okay, let's keep going!" she wrote.
The notifications from her fans started pouring in, but Yu Mo'er turned off her phone and looked out the window at the night view, feeling a mix of emotions inside.
#Yu Mo'er Weibo#
#Casting Change for Movie "Faceless"#
Two Weibo hot topics are related to Yu Mo'er.Although "Faceless" has not been officially announced, there have been rumors that Yu Mo'er will be the female lead.
Tonight, Yu Mo'er suddenly posted on Weibo, seemingly implying that she has been replaced. Netizens are now investigating the investors behind "Faceless" to see who will be joining the cast.
As long as they are young actresses in the industry, they are all suspects. Yu Mo'er's fans are furious and have started to speak out.
"Why doesn't anyone suggest me as a replacement?" Yu Li looked at the web page with a little frustration and couldn't help muttering.
"Director Zhao Jiakui is a well-known director in the industry. Any movie he directs has a high chance of winning awards," Yang Jie said next to her.
Yu Li nodded, "I know all of this, otherwise why would Yu Mo'er care so much about this script."Looking at the Weibo post, there was a sense of disappointment between the lines.
"..." Yang Jie looked at Yu Li, who didn't seem to understand her point, and decided to be straightforward, "Director Zhao has very high standards for both actors and scripts. The actors he chooses are all truly talented. The reason why they didn't consider you might be because they think your acting skills are not good enough."
"..." Friend, that hurts.
Yu Li shrugged nonchalantly, "If there are no surprises, the movie will be officially announced tomorrow. Don't tell me what's been happening online lately."
"If you know you'll be criticized, why did you..." Yang Jie trailed off, realizing there was no point in saying anything now that the situation had already happened.
Yu Li instructed the driver to take her to her family's home. She had been alone at home lately since Ren Jingchen had been busy with work and rarely came home at night. It was better to go back to her parents' house and chat with her mother.
After getting off the car and entering the house, Yu Li scanned the empty living room and wondered where her mother was. She turned around and saw Zhang Ma coming out of the kitchen. She asked, "Where's my mother?"
"Madam is in the hospital." Fang Jiuqi had specifically instructed Zhang Ma not to tell Yu Li about her mother's hospitalization, but with Yu Li's persistent personality, it was impossible to keep it a secret. It was better to tell her directly.
"What happened to my mother?" Yu Li's heart skipped a beat. Her mother had been fine just a few days ago. Why was she suddenly hospitalized?
"Madam had some bleeding last night and was rushed to the hospital. They said she might not be able to keep the baby."
"That's impossible!" Yu Li said without hesitation. "My mother has always been healthy. How could she suddenly have bleeding? Did she eat something unclean?"
"Miss, I shouldn't say this, but Madam is an older pregnant woman. Anything can happen during pregnancy."
"I'm going to the hospital right away." Yu Li couldn't stay still for a moment and drove straight to the hospital.
She managed to cover the hour-long journey in just half an hour, running red lights and speeding all the way.
"Beep~ You have a new text message from the traffic violation department."
"Beep~ You have a new text message from the traffic violation department."
"Beep~"
...Five consecutive text messages popped up on the screen, making Ren Jingchen confused. He looked at the approaching car's license plate, which was the Maybach that Yu Li often drove."Find out what's going on." The drivers at home were all highly paid professional drivers who wouldn't make such low-level mistakes.
That left only two possibilities: either Yu Li was driving, or the car was stolen.
Ji Yuan: "Yes."
First City People's Hospital, inpatient department.
In the VIP special care ward, Fang Jiu lay on the bed with a pale face, with an IV needle in the back of his hand. Yu Guanghua held the warm palm of the infusion tube tightly, so that the liquid would not be too cold when it flowed into his body.
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." Yu Guanghua comforted in a low voice.
Fang Jiu sneered, weakly saying, "You only know how to say these sweet words to me here, why don't you go find that girl and settle the score?"
"I've already called Mo'er, and she said she'll come to the hospital as soon as she finishes her work."
"Forget it! If she comes to the hospital, who knows how she'll plot against me!" Fang Jiu's eyes were filled with tears, his teeth biting his lower lip tightly, his voice choked, "You see, I'm already this old, and I can't even protect my own life for the sake of giving you a son. But you, you're still protecting someone who wants to kill your son!"
"Ah Jiu, I know you're angry right now, but no matter what, she's still my daughter," sighed Yu Guanghua helplessly. "I'll definitely teach her a lesson when I get back and give you some relief."
"..."
"Dad." Fang Jiu hadn't even had a chance to speak when Yu Li walked in.
"Li is here," Yu Guanghua cleared his throat. "The doctor said there's nothing serious, so just rest well when you go back."
"Dad, things are pretty busy at the company, so I'll stay here with Mom. You should go back to the office!" As she spoke, Yu Li sat down next to the bed, relieved to see that Fang Jiu was indeed fine. The weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.
