Chapter 52

Two days later, at the set of Sound of Thunder 2, at 8 a.m.

There were a lot of people on set, even the workers, especially the actresses, who needn’t come in that day, were there.

They weren’t there to observe the shooting. Instead, they were there to see that one person.

Last night, out of the blue, the director – Wang Yan – sent out the message stating that the mysterious lead actor of the movie would be showing up the following morning.

There had long been a rumor that the lead actor would be a renowned celebrity, but he had never shown up so everyone was curious.

That curiosity was finally going to come to an end that morning so everyone showed up to see who that celebrity is. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Luo Fei was putting on make-up while the third lead actress, Zhao Mingjie, was standing beside her.

“Ms. Fei, my investigation finally became fruitful. That b**** Ding Mi had been fine because she had been bringing in her own make-up and using them, so we’ll have to find another way to get to her,” said Zhao Mingjie.

“What do you have in mind?” asked Luo Fei coldly.

“I am too dumb to come up with anything so Ms. Fei will have to take the lead. I can’t stand that b**** and want her gone too!” replied Zhao Mingjie.

“Are you saying that I spend my day coming up with ways to bully others?” asked Luo Fei.

“No, no, that’s not what I meant at all, Ms. Fei,” explained Zhao Mingjie.

“Then what do you mean? Let me tell you something. I have nothing against Ding Mi. I only wanted to get to her for you, to help you get revenge for having your role stolen by her. lied Luo Fei without even a hint of remorse.

“I know. I know you’re doing this for me. That is why I’ll do whatever you want, Ms. Fei, no matter what it is.” said Zhao Mingjie nicely.

“Do you have a good relationship with the crew?” asked Luo Fei all of a sudden.

“No, not really,” replied Zhao Mingjie.

Actresses like Zhao Mingjie loved to take advantage of their youth and beauty to climb up the corporate ladder. She would praise those who are more influential than her and ignore the rest so naturally, she’s not close with anyone working behind the scenes.

“Do you need to shoot anything today?” asked Luo Fei.

“No, I came in today to watch Ms. Fei’s scene with the mysterious actor. I wonder who that is?”

“The new actor is Zhen Lunlun,” answered Luo Fei with a smile.

“Huh? Him?!” Zhao Mingjie screamed, “The man known to be the new favorite actor whose beauty is comparable to that of a model?”

“That’s the one. The director wanted to keep him a secret, but I kept pushing so the director confessed,” said Luo Fei gleefully.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe it’s Zhen Lunlun! He was the hottest actor last year but disappeared all of a sudden. There has been a rumor that he went overseas to further his studies. This will be the first show

he shoots after returning. Everyone will have their eyes on the show!” said Zhao Mingjie who couldn’t contain her excitement.

“The team hired him just for me.” bragged Luo Fei.

“Back then, he only played roles for the big screen. Ms. Fei, you really are something for getting a big shot like him to shoot a TV series with you!” exclaimed Zhao Mingjie with envy in her eyes.

“That’s right. This is his first series, and he did it to be seen with me,” explained Luo Fei.

“That makes sense. Only a celebrity like Zhen Lunlun is good enough for a star like Ms. Fei.” praised Zhao Mingjie to get to Luo Fei’s good side.

“Everyone will be distracted when Zhen Lunlun makes his appearance. Take that opportunity to put this in that b****’s costume.” ordered Luo Fei as she fished out a small box and hand it to Zhao Mingjie.

Zhao Mingjie opened the box to see a couple of short and non-reflective black needles that were difficult to detect.

“The poison on these needles would cause the body to itch badly. If it is not treated in time, the body will swell and rot, and could not be easily cured after that.”

“That b**** had always claimed to be professional. She wouldn’t stop shooting even when her body itches. By the time we’re done shooting, she would’ve missed the opportunity to be treated, and her career would be over!” said Luo Fei with an evil glint in her eyes.

Zhao Mingjie shivered. Luo Fei was too scary. She had so many tricks up her sleeves and all of them were designed to go for the throat.

Zhao Mingjie was glad that she had sided with Luo Fei. Otherwise, she would be on the suffering end of Luo Fei’s cruelty.

Are all celebrities that evil? Or must we all be that evil to be a celebrity?

“Why are you still standing here? Too chicken to do it?” growled Luo Fei when she noticed that Zhao Mingjie was just standing there.

“I’ll do it! I’ll perform my tasks perfectly.” promised Zhao Mingjie.

“Don’t worry, as long as that b**** goes down, the role of the second lead actress would definitely go to you.” affirmed Luo Fei with a sweet lie designed to con Zhao Mingjie.

“Thank you, Ms. Fei, I will do anything for you.”

“Aww, don’t put it like that. We’re only chatting. I never gave you anything or ordered you to do anything. I’m just an actress, I can’t be held responsible if anything were to happen,” warned Luo Fei coldly.

“Of course, I understand.” replied Zhao Mingjie. In her mind, however, she thought, You’re good. You’re putting all that on my plate so that if anything goes wrong, I’d be the only one who goes down.

Despite her thoughts, Zhao Mingjie remained obedient. She understood that if she wanted to climb the ladder, she could not afford to go against someone like Luo Fei.

No one else dared to use the dressing room because it was occupied by Luo Fei so Ning Ran was using another dressing room.

Cheng Xiangyun was giving Ning Ran the cold shoulder while standing beside her.

The reason for this treatment was because Cheng Xiangyun thought that it was selfish of Ning Ran to keep the children from Nan Chen.

However, despite the argument, they still had to work professionally.

“I heard that the male lead actor will be coming in today. He is an influential celebrity, and everyone is greeting him. Be smart and greet him when he comes in. Don’t be too proud, idiot,” said Cheng Xiangyun coldly.

“What is that supposed to mean? Since when I have been an idiot?” demanded Ning Ran.

“What you did two days ago was an example of a stupid act.”

Ning Ran changed the subject before it goes sour. “Who’s the celebrity anyway?” asked Ning Ran, “the team did a great job keeping him a secret.”

“The information had probably been leaked to the more famous actors, but no one would tell an actress like you.”

“Against her usual style, Luo Fei was here before we arrived.” “She must’ve done that to impress that celebrity.”

“That person must be an A-list actor to get Luo Fei’s attention since she would’ve ignored anything less,” said Cheng Xiangyun.

“That’s true. Praising the ones on top while ignoring the ones underneath her, that’s her style.”

The mere mention of Luo Fei’s name got the duo back on the same side.

“He’s here! The star is here!” A loud noise rang from the outside.

A black RV drove up to the set. Normally, an RV was only used when the person in question was extremely famous.
