Supporting Actress

Chapter 21

"Chun Song-il Visits Her Friend in the Hospital. Her New Drama Wins First Place in the Ratings."

The title was very eye-catching, and Liu Shimei flipped through it with interest. The attached picture was taken the moment Qian Songyi walked out of the hospital. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her skirt fluttered in the wind. Perhaps she was in a good mood, as she even waved at the paparazzi who were secretly taking pictures.

There weren't many words in the report, so she finished reading it after a few casual glances.

The manager, who was sitting by the bed, glanced at her expression and pretended to be relaxed. "It's all made up by the paparazzi."

"I know."

Liu Shimei smiled. Her expression was very gentle, and she didn't look angry at all. "Song Yi is so busy with filming. I'm very happy that she took the time to come and visit me."

Seeing that she didn't look sad at all, the manager was a little relieved. He had been her manager for more than ten years, and he had long regarded this stubborn little girl as his own daughter. If she was wronged, he would feel sorry for her.

Liu Shimei thought of the text report she had just read and couldn't help but smile. The reporter had counted Chun Song-il's clothes from head to toe, but when he mentioned her, he only used the word "friend". Sure enough, popular people would support people. This was a rule that applied in every world.

If her status wasn't high enough, she naturally wouldn't receive attention. There was nothing to complain about. Her thumb continued to scroll down to read the comments.

"(⊙ o ⊙) Wow, our Song Yi is so beautiful."

"She's so busy with filming, but she still went to the hospital to visit her friend. She's so beautiful and kind ~"

"That friend is so lucky. I also hope that Song Yi will come and visit me!"

"Previous poster, stop dreaming."

… …

Chun Song-il was really too popular. Just a few photos of her visiting a patient, and half an hour later, she smoothly entered the hot search list and became one of the new topics on the Internet.

As the "national vixen", although she was often ridiculed by netizens for her lack of common sense, her appearance and acting were all in line with the public's aesthetic standards. Even if netizens ridiculed her, as long as the new drama she starred in was released, they would wait in front of the TV for it to be broadcasted. Every drama had good ratings. This also gave Chun Song-il the title of "guaranteed ratings."

As for Ming Zhu's female supporting character, Liu Shimei, she also debuted as a child star. She was also Chun Song-il's good friend since childhood. Her appearance, figure, personality, and acting skills were all good, but for some reason, she couldn't become popular. She could only borrow Chun Song-il's power to take on small roles in her drama. Not only was her limelight completely overshadowed by Chun Song-il, but after a long time, the directors were very dissatisfied with Chun Song-il's forceful shoving of roles into the production. They didn't say anything on the surface, but when it was broadcasted, they directly cut most of the original owner's scenes.

They couldn't afford to offend a popular actress like Chun Song-il, but it was easy to deal with a nobody with no background who relied on hugging someone's thigh. However, Chun Song-il never got tired of it. Every time she filmed, she would bring along the original owner as a supporting character. The original owner was also deeply in love with Chun Song-il's loyal dog, Li Huijing. She was afraid that if she fell out with Chun Song-il, she wouldn't be able to get close to her sweetheart. Therefore, she endured it and was very miserable.

Because the director didn't like her, he simply arranged for her scenes to be shot during a time period that other actors didn't want to shoot. At noon, when it was the hottest time, he let her shoot more than ten scenes under the sun. Her body couldn't take it anymore and fainted from heatstroke. This was also the reason why she was hospitalized.

Lying in bed with nothing to do, she carefully studied the plot, as well as the target of the strategy this time — the male lead, Doo Min-jun, the legendary alien who had many superpowers, a long lifespan that made people's hair stand on end, and an alien who was as handsome as the popular young fresh meat. The most important thing was that he was also rich and had a very, very large amount of wealth!

In short, before meeting the female lead, he was a beautiful, cold, and sharp-tongued alien man. After meeting the female lead, he transformed into a domineering, warm, and proud little loyal dog.

However, Doo Min-jun was a really cold person. Except for the female lead, he had a "it's none of my business" attitude towards everyone else. He also had a slight tendency to look down on humans.

Liu Shimei didn't have the female lead's halo, so naturally, she couldn't be treated differently by him. How to get close to him needed to be considered at length. Moreover, she had another more important thing to do right now.

"The assistant director sent a text …" The head of the study room paused. Thinking that Liu Shimei was still sick, he couldn't say what he wanted to say next.

Liu Shimei lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. She didn't need to look to guess what the assistant director had sent.

"Head of the study room, I remember that the day before yesterday, a scriptwriter asked me to play a supporting role in his new movie, right?

I read the script, it's pretty good. Take it. "

"Huh?" The head of the study room looked up in surprise. He couldn't believe his ears.

According to the previous development, even if there was a good script, as long as it clashed with Chun Song-il's role in the movie, no matter what, she wouldn't accept it.

The day before yesterday, a scriptwriter did come to him. Although the scriptwriter wasn't famous, the script was very good in terms of concept and plot. Besides, movies and TV dramas weren't on the same level. Even if she could play a supporting role in the movie, she could be considered an actress who had been on Zhongwu Road. When she returned to the TV industry, she could get a better role.

When he received the message from the assistant director, he thought that it would be the same as before. Chun Song-il would throw a tantrum in the crew and the director would have to let her go because of their relationship. However, she had challenged the director's authority, so she was still excluded and looked down upon by the crew …

He didn't expect that his girl would be enlightened after being sick. Not only did she no longer follow Chun Song-il around like a fool, but she also wanted to play a role in a movie. Was he dreaming?

The head of the study room didn't answer. Liu Shimei thought that she had made a mistake. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong?

Is there a problem? "

"No problem, no problem."

The head of the study room seemed to wake up from a dream. He walked out dizzily and said, "I will call the scriptwriter now."

Of course, Liu Shimei could see that the head of the study room was excited. It seemed that the original host was willing to play a supporting role for her sweetheart, which made this uncle worry a lot.

The reason why she decided to take on this movie was that, on the one hand, she didn't want to miss out on a good script. The head of the study room might not know that the unknown scriptwriter was going to be a famous scriptwriter in the future, and this movie was his debut movie. At that time, because he didn't have the money, he had to find other unknown actors. Liu Shimei was lucky to be discovered, but unfortunately, she missed the opportunity.

On the other hand, and the most important reason, was that the movie was mainly shot at Mingren University, where Doo Min-jun was teaching. As long as she acted in the movie, she could openly approach the male lead.

Of course, she had to seize this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. As for the female lead, Chun Song-il, she wasn't the original host and she didn't have a crush on Li Huijing. Why would she compromise and play a supporting role for her?

She didn't have masochistic tendencies.

When the head of the study room called the editor, they hadn't found a suitable actress yet. Liu Shimei said that she wanted to act in the movie and didn't care about the pay. Of course, the editor was more than happy to accept, so the deal was finalized happily.
