The Insignifcant Female Supporting Character Actually Became a Bigshot in the Novel!

85 Change of Female Protagonist

When the director of the production team saw that Xi Wan seemed to be in a bad mood, he secretly thought to himself that the opening ceremony was about to begin and there’s no room for any mistakes. So, he hurriedly said to Zhen Xi and Cai Yi, “Since Miss Xi is here, you two can rehearse your lines on the spot so that Miss Xi can also see how good your acting skills are.”

Zhen Xi and Cai Yi were both stunned. “Now? On the spot?”

Both of them had the same thought in their mind—Bastard, stay away from me.’

Zhen Xi did not like actors like Cai Yi, who got the role of the male protagonist by relying on their high popularity and Cai Yi did not like actresses like Zhen Xi, who had a sugar daddy backing her up, and liked to bully others in the crew.

Xi Wan was getting a little impatient. “Are you two going to act or not? Could it be that you’re not confident and feel that your acting skills are not up to standard? Since that’s the case, there’s no need to try anymore. Let’s just change the people on the spot then.”

“Wait a minute! Don’t worry, Miss Xi, they’re just a little nervous because they’re not familiar with each other.” The director of the production team hurriedly came up with an excuse for the two of them. He then gave them a look, indicating that they should hurry up and start acting.

Xi Wan sat back down and said, “Let’s start. I might go back on my word before the opening ceremony.”

She only hoped that the two of them would quickly rehearse their lines so that she could use Zhen Xi’s acting skills as an excuse to push Zhao Fei to the role of the female protagonist.

However, things changed again. The two of them started quarreling before they even started acting.

Zhen Xi had always looked down on the entire crew, including Cai Yi, because she had a financial backer. She crossed her arms and said arrogantly, “Cai Yi was able to get the role of the male protagonist because of his popularity. He doesn’t have any acting skills! He can’t even remember his lines now. Miss Xi Wan, aren’t you making things difficult for me by asking me to act with him?”

When Cai Yi heard this, he was also angry and said, “You still have the nerve to talk about me? Are you any better compared to me? If it wasn’t for your financial backer throwing money at you, do you think you could’ve gotten the role of the female protagonist? Don’t you know how badly you’ve been scolded online? Do you still need to rehearse your lines and embarrass yourself in front of Miss Xi?”

“Cai Yi, I think you’re just jealous of me! You don’t have a financial backer supporting you and no one is willing to spend money on you to push you to a high position!” Zhen Xi’s words made her look like a rich person. “Miss Xi Wan, I think there’s no need for us to rehearse the lines anymore. Let’s just change the actor. Cai Yi doesn’t have to play the role of the male protagonist anymore.”

“On what basis? If my acting skills aren’t up to standard, does that mean your acting skills are that good?” Cai Yi’s face turned red.

Xi Wan sat in her chair and pondered for a long time before saying, “Cai Yi is a member of a boy band and he really needs to improve on his acting skills. He’s really not suitable for the role of the male protagonist. It would be better to replace him. Who is the second male protagonist? Why don’t we just let them switch roles instead?”

“Miss Xi Wan…” Cai Yi still wanted to say something but when he saw Xi Wan’s expression, he finally shut his mouth.

Although Cai Yi was a little unhappy about being demoted from the male protagonist to the second male protagonist, he still had a role in the production at least.

Just as Zhen Xi was about to laugh at Cai Yi, Xi Wan said, “As for you, you don’t have to play the role of the female protagonist anymore. Just get someone else.”

“What?” The smile on Zhen Xi’s face froze. “Miss Xi Wan, who can play the role of the female protagonist if I don’t do it?”

Xi Wan raised her hand directly and pointed at Zhao Fei, saying, “You, come and play the role of the female protagonist.”

“What?” This time, everyone present was stunned.

“Miss Xi Wan, Zhao Fei is just a small assistant. She doesn’t have any experience in acting so she can’t act as the female protagonist at all!” Zhen Xi said anxiously.

“If I say she can act, then she can. Are you questioning my decision?” Xi Wan looked at Zhen Xi coldly. “Don’t think that you can do whatever you want in the crew just because you have a financial backer supporting you. After all, this is a television series with a leading female protagonist. Other than your looks, you don’t pass in any other aspects. How can I trust you to act in this television series?”

“Will you be at ease to let Zhao Fei act in this television series then?” Zhen Xi pointed at Zhao Fei. Her eyes clearly showed that she was on the verge of collapsing emotionally. “If she’s acting in this television series, it’ll be completely over!”

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Xi Wan waved her hand and said to the director, “Director, I’m sure everyone has no objections to my decision, right?”

It was not that the director did not have any objections, but he simply did not dare to speak up.
