Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationEditor: Dragon Boat Translation

The director was also in a difficult position and said, “Yeah, not to mention the huge workload, the roles of the other roles might change.”

Li Yue saw that neither the director nor the scriptwriter were following her thoughts, so she put on her sunglasses and prepared to leave.

“Forget it. Since the director doesn’t sincerely want me to act as the female lead, then I’d better be tactful and leave. What do you think, director?”

She wasn’t joking. The director could tell from her tone.

Although the investors didn’t specify who would act as the female lead, Li Yue was the movie queen after all.

Letting her act as the female lead in his drama would definitely sell like hot cakes.

But he really had no way to resolve this conflict.

Seeing that the director didn’t answer, Li Yue naturally wouldn’t relent. She said, “Then I’ll leave first. You guys can find someone else for the female lead in this drama.”

Just like that, the female lead position in ‘Ruyi’ was vacated.

“What should we do?” The director was in a dilemma. It would have been fine if the position had been vacated, but it just so happened that the female lead position was vacated.

For a moment, everyone at the scene fell silent.

Suddenly, the scriptwriter walked in front of the director and whispered, “Jiang Yu won the ‘Best New Actor’s Award’ a few days ago. Director, do you think we should let Jiang Yu take the female lead position?”

“Are you sure?” The director couldn’t believe it. “The personality of the female lead and the supporting actress are completely different. Can Jiang Yu change from the personality of the supporting actress to the female lead?”

The screenwriter trusted Jiang Yu and said, “We can let her try first.”

The director looked at Jiang Yu and said, “Jiang Yu, are you willing to try out the female lead?”

“Eh?” Jiang Yu didn’t expect the director to choose her as the female lead, but there was no reason for her to refuse, so she said, “I can give it a try.”

“Okay!” The director immediately brought Jiang Yu to the audition room.

“Let me tell you about the scene that you’re auditioning for. It’s when the female lead was framed for stealing when she was reduced to a beggar in the early stages. You need to act out the panic and helplessness that she felt at that time, understand?”

“understand.” Jiang Yu had just read the script carefully and knew which scene the director was talking about.

“Do you need me to find someone to act with you?” The director asked kindly.

“Sure.” Jiang Yu didn’t refute the director and accepted it gladly.

‘The director called Hu Xuan and He Zhen over and asked them to act as the bailiffs of the police force. The scene was to push the female lead played by Jiang Yu to the ground.

Hu Xuan was afraid that he would hurt Jiang Yu if he used too much force, so he thought that he could just push her lightly.

He did not expect that Jiang Yu would fall to the ground as soon as his hand touched Jiang Yu who put on a pained expression.

He Zhen read his lines from the side. “Where did this little beggar come from? ! How dare she steal from me? !”

Jiang Yu looked up again. Her eyes were already red and tears were welling up in her eyes.

“It wasn’t me… It wasn’t me!” Jiang Yu shook her head desperately. “It really wasn’t me!”

She had a pitiful expression on her face and she couldn’t help but want someone to protect her and stand up for her.

“Alright!” The director couldn’t help but applaud Jiang Yu. “Jiang Yu’s acting is very good! It’s decided then. Jiang Yu will take over Li Yue’s position and act as the female lead as she pleases!”

“Director, you’re too kind.” Jiang Yu stood up and dusted herself off before returning to her seat.

“Tannounce that the female lead of ‘Ruy/’ will officially be Jiang Yu!”
