Chapter 193 - 193: Inferior Skills (2)
"You'd better communicate more with Manxi," Lu Shanhe added. "She has a deeper understanding of the character than you do. The two of you will learn more through communicating."
The smile on Cao Yuezhi's face froze for a moment.
Judging from Lu Shanhe's tone, she was still inferior to that Gu Manxi?
Lu Shanhe was in a good mood. After giving Cao Yuezhi a few words, he ran to Jiang Cheng to read the script.
Cao Yuezhi gritted her teeth, full of jealousy. She looked up at the busy props scene and saw many people whispering to each other. Some people were even pointing at her as if they were mocking her for being inferior to Gu Manxi.
"Miss Yuezhi, let's go back to the dressing room to remove your makeup." The assistant ran over and handed a cup of hot water to Cao Yuezhi. She said flatteringly, "Miss Yuezhi, your acting today was really good. You almost overpowered Gu Manxi--"
"Almost overpowered? You mean I'm not as good as her, right?" Cao Yuezhi said coldly.
The assistant's mouth was half-open, not knowing what to say. Recently, Cao Yuezhi's temper had been getting more and more irritable. If she was slightly unhappy, the people around her would suffer.
The assistant scratched her head, feeling uneasy. She tried to comfort Cao Yuezhi, "Miss Yuezhi, your acting is actually not bad..."
Cao Yuezhi flicked her sleeves and left in her high heels. Her heels stomped heavily on the floor as if they were going to break through the floor of the studio. She had nowhere to vent the irritation and jealousy in her heart.
It was already noon when Cao Yuezhi finished removing her makeup. The assistant brought over her specially made fat-reducing meal. For some reason, Cao Yuezhi was dissatisfied again. The poor little assistant was scolded extremely harshly. Her eyes were red but she did not dare to cry.
During lunch break, Cao Yuezhi took a nap in the lounge.
In her half-asleep state, she heard the staff next door gossiping.
"Cao Yuezhi is too arrogant. She hit and verbally abused her assistant."
"Didn't the internet say that Cao Yuezhi is famous for her good temper? It's really hard to know a person's face but not their heart. In private, she has a terrible temper."
"Because of her, Miss Gu had a low fever last night, but Miss Gu still came to film this morning. She's much more dedicated than somebody"
"Why do I feel that Cao Yuezhi's acting today is actually not bad?"
"What do you know? If I were to act with Gu Manxi every day, my acting skills would also improve! Cao Yuezhi is an amateur being led by an expert. Haha."
There was a burst of laughter.
It was ear-piercing.
The gloominess in Cao Yuezhi's eyes became more and more intense.
Gu Manxi was a hurdle that she would never be able to overcome, blocking her way forward. Song Chen placed great importance on this film shoot, and it was very likely that he would sign Gu Manxi to Song entertainment. With her looks, figure, acting skills, and backstage support, Gu Manxi would become extremely popular sooner or later...
By then, she, Cao Yuezhi, would no longer be the top celebrity of the company!
She had spent a lot of effort to reach her current height and would soon be overtaken by Gu Manxi...
She would never be satisfied with that result!
Her high self-esteem would not allow her to be suppressed by others. She clenched her phone tightly. In fact, as long as she sent a WeChat message to President Wang, she could escape the fate of being suppressed by Gu Manxi and become the top celebrity of another entertainment company that no one could crush...
"Forget it, let's see." Cao Yuezhi gritted her teeth and suppressed the thought of changing companies.
Wang Entertainment only occupied one-third of the domestic entertainment industry. Their resources and strength were far inferior to Song Entertainment.
Cao Yuezhi took a deep breath and stopped taking a nap. She took out the script and studied it carefully.
Although Cao Yuezhi had made ample preparations, her acting skills were really inferior to Gu Manxi's.
