Chapter 22 -The action begins
Checked and deleted, Jennifer put down her phone.
Even though Jennifer hated it, it was not the time to expose it yet. She vowed in her heart that she would make Diana and Simon, mentally painful.
Jennifer got up and went to take a cold shower, and when she came back, she was already sleepy.
She took out the cigarettes she had hidden in the cupboard a while ago, sat down on the balcony and lit one up.
A light rain had fallen at some point and the ground was still wet from the wind blowing on her face.
She watched the cigarette burn a little and took a small puff once in a while.
In the past she did not understand why people always smoked when they were depressed, and between swallowing and exhaling, she saw her old self, bright and warm, and then suddenly pale and powerless.
The baby's cries came to her ears, growing louder and louder. Jenniferwent into the house with red eyes and forced herself to sleep with despair.
She barely made it to dawn, so Jennifer got up, packed up and went to see the director.
She decided that if she was going to do it, she was going to do it hard.
"Can I help you?" The director was busy working on the next scene, and when he saw Jennifer coming, he hurriedly asked her to come and sit down, after all, their company was still relying on her to fight the competition.
"I have a suggestion for you." Jennifer took out her phone and flipped to the Weibo post about Diana's pregnancy and handed it to the director, saying with a light expression, "Diana is the female lead of their movie, and now that she's pregnant, she naturally can't take this drama. Now we just need to arrange a star who can replace Diana and help us sabotage and stall for time and we'll have a sure win."
"Yeah! This is a great opportunity!" The director was anxiously rushing to shoot when Jennifer gave him such great news, he was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly contacted his assistant to help him find an actress with a clean background.
There is no shortage of actors in the showbiz.
Soon, the assistant provided a girl whose figure and appearance were not inferior to Diana's. After a million admonitions, Iris Copper went to Barry's Film Group for an interview.
The director decided to re-cast Diana because of her negligence. George Group's spy who had been in Barry's Film Group 's for several years proposed to the director that Iris Copper be brought over for an audition.
But things were far from easy. On the first day of filming, all the characters in the cast suddenly vomited and had diarrhea, so work had to be postponed.
On the second day of filming, there was a scene where she fell into the water. The director said that she only needed to shoot a fallen pose, but Iris Copper insisted on shooting it on location.
Everything was ready and the actor's expressions and movements were in place, but after the director called for a cut, Iris Copper slipped and fell in the pool "accidentally".
She is also a person who desperately needs money, and when George Group paid her well to act in a scene, she went out of her way to do damage, and in the past few days of filming, she would find opportunities to do whatever she could to stall for time.
The director once came over to her to ask if she could keep working, and Iris Copper pretended to be dedicated and understanding and agreed, only to pour out all her medicine after he left, taking cold showers and drinking ice water, tossing her already weak body.
When she went back to the shoot, she couldn't speak a word and her eyes were hollow and weak. The director could only wave her off and let her go back to rest, if she couldn't hold on in two days, he would have to think about changing the role again.
But the actors still had to cooperate with each other and read the script and remember their lines, and Iris Copper had done a good job.
After a few moments of hesitation, the director decided to wait a little longer.
The crew is now in a state of turmoil, and Simon came over to supervise them personally after learning the news, but he had to do the formalities and sign the joint venture in person, and there is still an unconcerned Diana at home who is bothering him all the time about trivial matters, so the shooting has to be delayed again and again.
After another all-nighter, Simon looked at the empty office and suddenly didn't understand what he was so busy for.
The woman he hated the most and gave the most of his affection to was no longer there, and he no longer had any purpose to go on.
The dim lights shifted back and forth, and the perfume around him was bursting with fragrance and richness, making Simon's mind foggy and his stomach sour.
Some bold woman twisted towards him, stretching her legs to rub against his suit trousers, a pair of sultry red lips opening and closing at him, "how about having a drink?"
