Chapter 588 - 256.
The director took a sip of tea, his voice calm, "Mm, well done."Shen Weiyi nodded slightly and walked out of the studio through the side door.
The director didn’t say anything, which meant they still needed to continue shooting. Without the lead, nothing could be filmed. The assistant, following the director’s intention, let the staff take a ten-minute break and have some water.
Pea was playing happily on the side, so Wanxia didn’t go over and sat on a chair watching the previously filmed clips on the camera.
"Miss Shen might have played the same type of role too much, and she’s not adapting well to a role change. Her expressions and looks don’t meet the brand’s requirements."
After saying that, she suddenly realized that what she said might not have been appropriate.
She smiled apologetically at Director Chen, "After all, I’m not a student of directing and don’t really understand. I’m looking from an audience’s perspective, so if I said something wrong, please be understanding, Director Chen."
Her attitude was very humble, without any arrogance.
"What you said is exactly what I’m thinking," Director Chen patted Wanxia’s shoulder, with both appreciation and interest in his eyes, and asked slowly, "So how can we achieve the desired effect?"
Acting skills cannot be developed overnight.
Wanxia smiled gently, her voice warm and pleasant, "It’s very simple, just change the endorser," her eyes were clear, without any impurities, "I think Gao Yue is quite suitable, more so than Miss Shen."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Weiyi’s agent was instantly alarmed.
The surrounding staff looked at each other. Although they didn’t dare to discuss it, their eyes all conveyed the same meaning: Look, the troublemaker has started causing issues.
This Ji Wanxia indeed didn’t come here to learn.
Director Chen’s gaze towards Wanxia gained a layer of depth. He sipped his tea and sneered lightly, "I don’t have that kind of power."
When brands choose endorsers, their primary requirement isn’t suitability but fame.
Although Shen Weiyi is an A-list star with a considerable fan effect, still... she doesn’t align at all with the seductive yet not promiscuous feel required by this advertisement.
Gao Yue, who had been shelved, rose from shooting soft-core films. Whether it’s her sensual figure or alluring gaze, she is more suitable than Shen Weiyi.
Wanxia smiled, "Director Chen, you might not be able to, but Mr. Gu can."
Changing the endorser by liaising with the brand is not a difficult matter for Gu Shaozhi.
Although the news of Shen Weiyi endorsing this brand has already spread online, suddenly changing it surely wouldn’t be favorable, but that’s not something she needs to worry about.
Director Chen looked meaningfully at Wanxia. This girl is indeed a tough nut, it seems like Shaozhi will have a hard time handling her.
Good, an evil for every evildoer.
He instructed the assistant beside him, "Call Mr. Gu and convey Wanxia’s suggestion."
The assistant hurriedly obliged, dialing Gu Shaozhi’s phone under everyone’s gaze.
However, no one answered.
He dialed again and still, no one answered.
The assistant looked awkwardly at Director Chen, "Director, Mr. Gu should be busy... right?"
Director Chen did not speak and looked towards Wanxia, who took out her phone, unlocked it, and placed it on the table, "Try using my phone."
This time, the call was answered in less than ten seconds.
"Uh... Mr. Gu, I’m not Miss Ji, I’m Director Chen’s assistant, here’s the situation..."
Following the director’s instructions, the assistant relayed Wanxia’s words in their entirety.
Shen Weiyi, upon returning from the bathroom to the studio, overheard this conversation.
"Mr. Gu said to follow Miss Ji’s instructions, and he’ll handle the subsequent matters."
"Oh, is that so? Then replace Miss Shen with Gao Yue."
Everyone present wore expressions of surprise and amazement, as a few casual words from Ji Wanxia calmly decided someone’s fate.
Gao Yue, who had been shelved, is set to replace Shen Weiyi in shooting this advert, re-entering the entertainment industry.
A few days ago, Gao Yue had been banned for offending Ji Wanxia. Today, because of a single phrase from Ji Wanxia, she landed a top luxury brand endorsement.
Dramatic.
...
Since there is a change, shooting must be halted for today. After the director left, the staff began tidying up the props and machines.
While working, they stole glances at Shen Weiyi, who was standing by the door.
Her agent glared hard at Wanxia before jogging to the door, scolding indignantly, "Sister Weiwei, we worked in vain, let me accompany you to change clothes and remove makeup."
Shen Weiyi did not move, and asked calmly, "What does this mean?"
The agent recounted what had just happened.
