Excuse Me, I Am The Real Female Lead

Chapter 72: Changed the Script

The shareholders stared at Fang Mo’er as if they were looking at a monster.

One of the shareholders could not help but ask, “Why did Miss Fang suddenly go into acting?”

Fang Mo’er smiled. “I had nothing to do, so I just decided to try it out. I didn’t expect to be chosen as the female lead. It was unexpected.”

After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed. “Actually, it was quite easy to get the female lead role. As long as you have talent, it’s fine. When you have the time, you should go and try it out. Maybe you could also get the male lead or the second male lead roles.”

The shareholders were even more confused. Was it because the Fang family wanted to support her, so she was just playing around?

More importantly, Fang Mo’er had snatched away the role from the company’s artiste.

When Mu Chen heard Fang Mo’er’s words, he said with a cold face, “It’s settled.”

The manager began to report on the recent situation of the company’s artistes.

Since there had been no resources available for the past few days, there was a female artiste who had received a lot of attention because she had sung the theme song from a variety show.

Bai Rong had also won the role of the second female lead in a TV drama.

At this point, everyone was giving Fang Mo’er strange looks.

After a round of reporting, Mu Chen continued to insist on his initial plan. “My proposal is the same as before. 70% of the company’s resources will be used to pave the way for Bai Rong.”

Before Fang Mo’er could say anything, the other shareholders showed their unhappiness. “But, she’s only playing the second female lead. There’s no need for the company to put so much effort into her alone.”

Just then, Mu Chen knocked on the table. “Listen to me… What you don’t know is that the Mu family has also invested in this movie. Moreover, most of the script will be revised. According to the new script, the roles of the first female lead and second female lead will be almost on par!”

Only then did Fang Mo’er raise her head to look at Mu Chen. Was this what they were relying on? They were going to use the Mu family’s financial resources to support Bai Rong.

When the other shareholders heard this, they were all amazed. “In that case, Miss Bai’s future seems to be brighter.”

The Mu family was an important family and their strength was on par with the Fang family.

It was true that the Fang family wanted to support Fang Mo’er. However, if the Mu family wanted to support Bai Rong, then Bai Rong was indeed enough to be supported by the company.

This meant that both Fang Mo’er and Bai Rong were had the support of the investors.

Their future prospects would be limitless.

“If that’s the case, then I have no objections!”

“I don’t have any objections either.”

Fang Mo’er had a strange expression on her face. Since Bai Rong’s scenes had increased, that meant that the ones that had been cut would be hers.

To think that they would even be able to make the second female lead’s scenes similar to the first female lead’s.

Didn’t they know that with this change, the originally perfect script would deviate?

Now, the scriptwriter had to adapt according to their wishes and the role of the second female lead might end up being glorified instead.

Fang Mo’er’s heart was stifled and she felt disgusted.

“I believe that when the drama is broadcast, Bai Rong’s fame will definitely spread and she won’t lose to anyone!” Mu Chen aimed a meaningful look at Fang Mo’er.

The other shareholders nodded their heads.

They were also of the opinion that Fang Mo’er’s acting skills would not be able to defeat Bai Rong.

She was sure to become a foil to Bai Rong.

Throughout the meeting, only Fang Mo’er was excluded. They were just short of discussing how to make the female lead completely invisible.

Fang Mo’er sneered. “Don’t think too highly of yourself. Who knows who will become invisible?”

Mu Chen raised his eyebrows, “Then, let’s wait and see!”

“My advice is that everyone should not bet everything on the same person. After all, if Bai Rong fails to act or is crushed by someone else’s acting skills, the company’s investment will go down the drain again!” Fang Mo’er advised. After all, if the company lost money, they would lose their own money.

At least in the year-end dividends, she would want to see some profit, right?

Although the other shareholders heard Fang Mo’er words, they did not heed her.

They were blindly confident in the Mu family’s support and felt that Bai Rong was lucky. She was sure to rise to a higher level in the future.

Shaking her head, Fang Mo’er left the meeting room.

Only then did she take out her phone to call Director Wang. As expected, when Director Wang heard Fang Mo’er enquiring about the script, he said, “That’s right. I didn’t have the time to inform you yet. Don’t read the script for the next few days yet. The script is going to undergo a big change now, although the specific settings will not change much. When the new script is out, I will send it to you.”

Fang Mo’er touched her chin. “So, I suppose the Mu family was the one who suggested the changes to the script?”

The director said, “There’s no other way. The Mu family has invested a large amount of money now, which means that the script has to be even more perfect. It has to be modified! The other party has hired a few professional screenwriters, so there shouldn’t be any major mistakes!”

Fang Mo’er pouted. “Alright then, just send it to me after it’s confirmed.”

The director continued, “Miss Fang, I already know about your relationship with Miss Bai. However, I don’t care what happens on the outside, as long as you can act well.”

“I understand!” Fang Mo’er nodded.

She put away her phone, feeling a wave of melancholy.

Chapter 73: Gunpowder Smell

Very quickly, she found out that while the Fang family had spent 100 million in this movie, the Mu family had spent 110 million to become the biggest investor!

Fang Mo’er, “…”

She could finally understand Bai Rong’s feelings when she had found out that the Fang family was the biggest investor. Her mood was now like a dog in Hell.

Fang Mo’er went to the Star Dream Era company.

She continued with her acting lessons.

Little Tian ran over and said to her, “Sister Fang, Manager Shen is looking for you!”

Yesterday, when Fang Mo’er had given Little Tian the watch, she had revealed her identity to her and informed her that she was about to be part of the drama show. She had told her to be prepared.

At the same time, Fang Mo’er had asked Little Tian to pass one of the other watches to Lang Qi.

However, Fang Mo’er had not expected that Lang Qi, who was wearing the new watch, would be in Shen Yue’s office.

Lang Qi looked at Fang Mo’er in surprise, his expression was unfamiliar and distant.

Shen Yue said, “This is Fang Mo’er, the female lead in the movie and also an artiste in this company. As the male lead, you should take care of her in the future.”

Fang Mo’er still had very little acting experience, so she was very respectful to Lang Qi. “Senior Lang, please advise me.”

Lang Qi glanced at Little Tian who was beside Fang Mo’er. “Why is Little Tian here?”

Shen Yue said, “I’ve asked Little Tian to join Fang Mo’er’s team. From now on, Little Tian will be her assistant.”

Little Tian blinked her eyes.

Lang Qi frowned. “What about the Veiled Queen? Won’t she be losing her assistant?”

He had only just received the Veiled Queen’s watch, but in the blink of an eye, the Veiled Queen’s assistant had been snatched away.

Initially, he had quite a good impression of Fang Mo’er. But now, it seemed that Fang Mo’er wasn’t that nice. She had snatched someone else’s assistant the moment she arrived.

Shen Yue smiled and said, “The Veiled Queen is currently in advanced studies and doesn’t need an assistant.”

Only then did Lang Qi put away the displeasure on his face. He extended his hand to Fang Mo’er and said, “Miss Fang, you can ask me if there’s anything you don’t know about acting!”

He had heard that Fang Mo’er had joined the cast through the investor’s influence and had never learned acting before.

Lang Qi did not have much hope for this newbie actress who was going to be his partner.

A few days later, Fang Mo’er finally received the latest version of the script.

The moment she received the document, Fang Mo’er immediately dropped everything and ran into the lounge to read the script.

When she saw it, she immediately understood and muttered to herself, “My part has been deleted here!

“There are more scenes of the supporting actress suffering when she was young.

“And here, why has a thrilling action scene been added for me!?”

“That’s too sinister. In the end, the female lead doesn’t die but becomes a vegetable instead. Once the male lead realizes the importance of his sister, he stays by her side and doesn’t get married. The female lead then leaves and goes far away!”

“Pfft!” Fang Mo’er spat out the mineral water in her mouth.

The other party had forcefully rewritten the script to turn the second female lead into the female lead.

This adaptation was too brilliant.

The script now justified a lot more and created a poignant feeling of unattainable love.

Fang Mo’er counted and discovered that in the whole movie, there were at least five parts where she was in danger. Things like escaping from the jaws of a tiger, falling into a trap, falling from a high altitude, and so on. Every time, she would escape because of the nimble movements of the female lead.

Bai Rong was trying to torture her to death.

No, she was dissatisfied!

Did she think that Fang Mo’er would not be able to film these scenes and would eventually retreat?

She was truly being underestimated. She definitely had to continue filming.

There were only three days to study the script and soon, it was time for the opening ceremony.

During the opening ceremony, not only were all the main actors present, even the two major investors had sent their representatives to attend.

Fang Han from the Fang family.

And Mu Ye from the Mu family.

A 200 million yuan investment was more than enough for a youth idol drama.

One after another, as the reporters present reported on the strong collaboration between the two big families, they could sense the tension that was like the smell of gunpowder in the air.

Bai Rong stood with the Mu family’s young master, while Fang Mo’er stood with Fang Han.

Neither side was willing to look at the other.

Meanwhile, Lang Qi and the director were sandwiched in the middle.

The atmosphere was very strange and unharmonious.

The photos that were taken were even more bizarre. They were either rolling their eyes here or there.

However, the words that came out of their mouths were all the same as the official ones.

The Mu family said that they had invested in the show because it would very good to watch.

The Fang family also praised the Mu family for their good taste. Fang Mo’er’s acting skills would definitely sell the film. The other party was sure to make a profit.

Bai Rong also said that she would humbly learn from the company’s boss and hoped that Fang Mo’er could lead her to a higher position.

After the opening ceremony ended, they went their separate ways.

The Mu family’s eldest young master, Mu Ye, was usually very busy. If not for the fact that the Mu family’s old master had insisted that he come to the production team to support Bai Rong, he would not have been willing to come.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, Bai Wong was carrying the flesh and blood of the Mu family. The old master had even asked him to visit the set from time to time. He could not allow Bai Rong and her unborn child to suffer.
