Chen Min was right indeed, ingratitude is human nature!

Sang Yuwan and Xiaomei are still too young, with little experience and knowledge.

They both thought that by letting Mr. Pang go once, they were helping him again. No matter how heartless Mr. Pang was, he would never do that to her again.

But who would have thought that three days later, the company suddenly made a decision to put Xiao Annie into the crew of the drama that Sang Yuwan was about to start filming.

Moreover, she was squeezed in as the second female lead.

"Oh, what do you call this? This is called being ungrateful and ruthless. I shouldn't have let him go, let alone helped him. No, where's the recording? Take it out. I'm going to find him. At worst, I can make it public so that everyone can see his true face and let his daughter know what a disgusting man her father is."

Sang Yuwan's temper flared up all of a sudden. She immediately jumped up from the sofa and asked Chen Min for a recorder.

Chen Min said: "It's useless for you to ask for the recorder now. Even if you make it public now, people will only think that you are dissatisfied with the company's treatment and jealous of your peers, so you took out the recorder. What's more, the voice is imitated, and without identification, he can deny that it is not what he said. Even if you call the police, these few words alone cannot prove anything, and he may even accuse you of it."

"Then we have no choice but to let Sister Wanwan be bullied by that big toad?" Xiaomei asked unconvinced.

Chen Min said: "Xiao Anni is originally an artist of Xingyi, and her development momentum has been very good in the past two years. It is normal for the company to want to promote her. Wanwan is just an affiliate of the company. Now that she has lost the big backer of Chairman Gu, it is good that her resources have not been taken away. It's just that a second female role was suddenly inserted. If there is a fuss, others will only think that Wanwan is petty and jealous, which will be even more disadvantageous to Wanwan."

"Forget it, just stuff it in! Sister Min is right, it's good enough that I, the heroine, was not replaced."

Sang Yuwan took a deep breath, calmed herself down and accepted the reality.

Chen Min sighed, "This is the real entertainment industry. It's common to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. Wanwan, you need to adapt to this kind of life as soon as possible and adjust your mindset. Only by getting more resources and restoring your status can you avoid being bullied."

"I know. Please help me contact some advertisements! After terminating the contract with Gu Group, I don't have any advertisements at all. It's really not appropriate." Sang Yuwan compromised.

Chen Min nodded.

In fact, she had contacted them a long time ago, but the famous companies didn't dare to hire her now, even though she held a press conference with Gu Group and terminated the contract peacefully.

However, these companies still have concerns, worrying that she has done something wrong and is a low-quality artist.

Although it was not exposed, Gu Group noticed this and eagerly terminated the contract with her.

The companies that were willing to hire her were all small, second-rate companies.

If you really want to take that kind of endorsement, it’s better to just leave it alone.

However, she didn't dare tell Sang Yuwan about these things, for fear that she would be upset after hearing them.

Soon, it was time to join the group.

Sang Yuwan had read the script several times, memorized all her lines, and even wrote a short biography of the character she was going to play.

Although her grades were not very good when she was in school, she was only bad in science and her Chinese was still very good.

Especially when it comes to things that need to be memorized, although I remember them slower than my older brothers and sisters, I am still much faster than ordinary people.

And once you write it down, you can remember it for a long time and it is not easy to forget.

She remembered that when she first filmed a role, the director almost dropped his jaw because she memorized all the lines.

"You are amazing. You can remember so many lines."

The director couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.

"Ah, shouldn't I memorize it?"

Sang Yuwan was very surprised at that time.

She is an actress, these are her lines, how can she act without memorizing them?

"Many actors don't want to memorize their lines, and just read out the numbers while acting. Anyway, there will be dubbing in the later stage, so they can just let the dubbing read it. It's just a pity for the actors who act opposite them, because they need to have a strong sense of belief to not be out of character. But how on earth can you memorize so many lines without missing a word?"

Chen Min secretly explained the ins and outs to her and asked her curiously.

Sang Yuwan smiled awkwardly.

She has to thank her father for this!

When she was young, it was obvious that she had no talent for mathematics, physics, chemistry or biology.

So we decided to let her study literature and become a writer in the future.

That's why they forced her to memorize ancient poems and the Analects of Confucius. Anyway, she was asked to memorize large passages of articles and she would not be deprived of meals if she had to memorize them.

At that time, I really was... I went hungry for eight meals in three days, and often went hungry because I couldn't memorize the text.

At three months old, she was so thin that she was unrecognizable. When her grandparents came and saw her appearance, they got angry and had a quarrel with her father.

Only then did her father give up forcing her to memorize the book.

But from then on, the look in his eyes when he looked at her became more and more disgusted and helpless, until a coach discovered her shooting talent by chance.

She became an athlete.

Although I still can't satisfy my father, it's much better than when I was a complete waste.

However, it was precisely because of the pressure during that period that she was more receptive to memorizing texts than others.

After all, I am free to memorize things now.

No matter how strict the director is, he can never be as cruel as my father.

She had experienced such cruel days, so this kind of life is no problem for her now.

As the leading actor, the script must be sent to me in advance.

So, before filming began, she memorized all her lines.

After joining the group, read it again and you will be able to get into the state immediately.

But, wait until she brings Xiaomei into the group.

The assistant director came over to her and apologized with a wry smile: "Teacher Sang, I'm sorry, your role has changed a little. Here is the new script, please take a look."

"Why are there changes when the shooting is about to start?"

Xiaomei asked doubtfully.

The assistant director was respectful to Sang Yuwan, but not so polite to Xiaomei.

He immediately said with a straight face: "Don't even mention starting filming right away. Even if the screenwriter wants to change the script halfway through filming, that's normal."

"Alright, let's change it! Let me see how my role has changed first."

Sang Yuwan winked at Xiaomei, telling her not to argue with the assistant director.

She took the script and read it carefully, and laughed out loud after finishing it.

This is not just a minor change, but the heroine has been changed beyond recognition.

Not only were many of her scenes deleted, but the original ending was also changed.

There is an extra scene where she commits suicide by jumping off a cliff, then she is disfigured, and then she changes her face and reunites with the male protagonist.

"Changed my face? Is this face still mine?" Sang Yuwan asked.

The assistant director chuckled.

As soon as Sang Yuwan saw his expression, she knew it was definitely not her.

So her role was reduced by half.

No wonder Xiao Anni was brought in and given the role of the second female lead.

At that time, she thought that the role was rewritten for Xiao Anni as the second female lead, after all, the original role had already been chosen.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Anni replaced her and became the second heroine.

"Call Sister Min."

Sang Yuwan said to Xiaomei with a cold face.

She didn't want to argue with the assistant director. This was definitely not what he meant, and he had no say in the matter.

Now we can only call Chen Min over and let him communicate with the production team.

Soon, Chen Min came.

When he came, his expression was not good and he looked at Sang Yuwan with complicated eyes.

Sang Yuwan was not stupid and understood it immediately.

He whispered to her, "You also know about this?"

"Well, I just found out that they went too far." Chen Min said angrily.

Sang Yuwan asked: "Is there no way to solve it?"

What's the point of just being angry? They won't care even if they piss others off to death. The key is whether there is a solution.

Chen Min shook his head and whispered, "The company also agreed. I heard that... one of the investors was brought in by President Pang, and this idea was also proposed by President Pang."

Sang Yuwan: “…”

Now I understand, it turns out that it was Mr. Pang who was behind this.

"He really is... I should quit the show!"

Sang Yuwan decided not to accept this humiliation.

Anyway, I have turned down so many endorsements and business activities, let alone this script.

Chen Min shook her head and said, "I can't quit. When we signed the contract, the director was afraid that you and Lu Yanxu, who plays the male lead, would regret it halfway through. He waited for you for more than a year before finally bringing you together. So, the compensation he signed was very high. If you quit, most of your savings would be lost."

"So many?" Sang Yuwan was surprised.

I didn't even have to pay compensation when I terminated the contract with Gu Group, so how could I have to pay so much money just to act in a movie?

Chen Min nodded: "So you should think about whether you want to quit."

"Forget it, let's just keep acting!"

Sang Yuwan took a deep breath and agreed humiliatingly.

Soon, Lu Yanxu came to find her.

He also got the new script and was very dissatisfied with it.

"Wanwan, let's go find the director together." Lu Yanxu said with a serious face.

Sang Yuwan asked doubtfully, "It was my play that was changed, not you. Why are you so angry?"

"In my mind, the only heroine can be you. It was also agreed when we signed the contract that you would be the heroine. Now suddenly another person comes in and replaces you midway, so of course I am angry." Lu Yanxu said sternly.

Sang Yuwan thought of the rumors about him and Xiao Anni, and immediately approached him and asked curiously: "I heard that you and Xiao Anni were in a relationship. Shouldn't you be happier if it's her turn?"

"Who told you that? This must be a rumor."

Lu Yanxu denied it immediately, and spitted out because he denied it so quickly.

He was very embarrassed, and quickly wiped the corner of his mouth and stepped back, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"Haha, it's okay. You're so excited. It seems to be a rumor."

Sang Yuwan was a little disappointed.

I thought I could get some gossip about a real couple on the set, but I didn’t expect it to be fake?

Suddenly, I have even less interest in this drama!

If it weren't for the money, she really wanted to turn around and leave.

And the news that she was going to be replaced midway was leaked by someone.

As a result, various news spread online and even became a hot topic.

Gu Mingyu never paid attention to entertainment news before, but during this period she would occasionally check it out and came across her news.
