Chapter 59 I Didn't Cry
After getting in the car, Ning Baicha sat in the passenger seat and frowned slightly.
Zhuzhu started the car and reminded her: "Sister, fasten your seat belt."
"Okay." Ning Baicha came back to his senses, fastened his seat belt, and looked for Director Chen's contact information in the contacts. After flipping through it, he suddenly remembered that he had not added it.
She hurriedly called Chang Mengyu.
Chang Mengyu had just changed her clothes and hadn't gone on stage for rehearsal yet. When she heard the phone ring, she answered it directly. She smiled and said, "What? Are you going to take another day off today?"
"No." Ning Baicha bit her lower lip gently, feeling a little worried. "Sister Mengyu, have you seen the hot searches about me?"
"I saw it. It was about that variety show. I was originally trying to stand up for you. The production crew was quite bullying. But, this morning, someone released a pole dancing clip for you. Cha Cha, life is good now. Now people are standing up for you."
Ning Baicha smiled bitterly: "It's not that one, it's another one, about the drama troupe."
"Drama..." Chang Mengyu's voice changed a little, "Are you talking about our current drama troupe?"
Ning Baicha became a little nervous: "When the trending search came up, I really had no idea. I don't know who took the photo in the theater and typed my name into the entry. Now the trending search has exploded. But I'm afraid... Director Chen will be unhappy."
"It's over, it's over, it's over." Chang Mengyu held her forehead, "You're finished."
That’s great. Chang Mengyu’s three are done. Ning Baicha’s heart dropped to the bottom.
"Director Chen knows about this?" Ning Baicha's heart was dead. "He's not going to kick me out of the troupe, is he?"
Chang Mengyu held the phone and said, "I'll go check it out."
She said this and walked towards the stage.
When I was halfway there, I heard a noisy sound coming from the stage.
"This show has always been kept secret. Whether she knows about it or not, she has been filmed. She can no longer stay in the troupe!"
"Ning Baicha was right. The person who took the photo was a spectator." Xue Zixuan said, "She didn't know about it at the time. I was the one who drove him away. I had already deleted all the photos from his phone."
"It's all because of our crew's poor security."
"This lousy theater has no security at all."
Director Chen sat in the audience, his chin supported by his hands, his brows deeply furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
"Director Chen, please say something. Your principle has always been not to hire actors who have been overexposed."
Chang Mengyu saw that the situation was not good, so she said to Ning Baicha on the phone, "You'd better come quickly. The situation is not good. Many people are clamoring for you to leave. But Director Chen hasn't spoken yet, so the situation cannot be determined so quickly."
Ning Baicha was completely devastated. She never expected that even though she had been so low-key, she would still be exposed.
"I know..." She said muffledly, with a hint of nasality in her voice.
Chang Mengyu chuckled, "Alright, don't be nervous. Director Chen is not that difficult to talk to. Since you haven't been sentenced to death, then fight for it. Don't let yourself get discouraged first."
Ning Baicha felt a little overwhelmed and rubbed his nose: "I don't have any."
She will never be discouraged if anyone is discouraged.
She just... didn’t know how to deal with Director Chen.
Ning Baicha usually tried to build a good relationship with Director Chen, but Director Chen was a person who would not listen to any tricks.
Her tricks were of no use to Director Chen, and she was also very busy with rehearsals and had a lot of homework every day, so she just followed Chang Mengyu and worked hard to lay the foundation.
I forgot to get closer to Director Chen.
Ning Baicha gritted her teeth. She couldn't be kicked out of the troupe. Not only that, she had to fight for the role of Qiu.
Although there are not many records in the original book, because this drama and Ning Baixuan were competing against each other, when the result was announced, the author also gave a detailed account of the actors who attracted more fans in this drama.
Among them, the actor who played Qiu has been mentioned in subsequent stories because of his outstanding character setting.
The value of this drama is extraordinary.
In fact, at the beginning, in order to highlight Ning Baixuan's halo, the author made the Yimeng crew lose.
But readers did not buy it, thinking that the author's setting was too brainless. Out of desperation, the author changed the result of the game.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Baicha felt resentful and miserable. She took off the front rearview mirror of the car and felt that her complexion was okay, but quite pale.
Thanks to that bastard Shen Shijing, who made her sleepless all night and made her look so sad.
Good.
When we arrived at the troupe, everyone had already started preparing for rehearsal.
There were a few people surrounding Director Chen, whispering something.
Ning Baicha took a deep breath, tightly grasped the shoulder strap of her backpack, and quietly walked to Director Chen's side. She smiled at Director Chen and whispered, "Hello, Director Chen."
"Here I am." Director Chen glanced at her.
Sitting next to them was the deputy director and several assistant directors.
The assistant director was watching videos on his phone. Hearing this, he glanced at Ning Baicha and snorted, his tone a bit sarcastic: "You are very famous now."
Ning Baicha swallowed and said, "If the assistant director has anything to say, just say it."
"You know what happened online?" The assistant director put down his phone, his face gloomy. "We are going to participate in this program. If someone takes a photo and posts it online, it will be a leak!"
Ning Baicha lowered his head and did not rush to defend himself: "I know."
"Do you know how many troupes are participating in the competition?"
Ning Baicha shook the picture: "Sorry, I really don't know."
"More than a dozen troupes are keeping an eye on each other! Our script has always been kept secret, and your rehearsals are also secret! We have never even announced who is in the crew this time!"
"Yes, I know." Ning Baicha's voice trembled a little.
The assistant director had a headache: "Do you want to cry? You want to cry, and I want to cry too! With just those few photos, even though other people's photos were censored, I can still guess a little based on your outfit! If just a little bit of information is leaked, someone with ulterior motives will find ways to ruin our show this time!"
Although the matter might not be as serious as the assistant director said, Ning Baicha knew that many TV and film crews had confidentiality agreements.
Staff are not allowed to take photos, etc.
It's not surprising that the troupe has requirements in this regard.
"I didn't cry." Ning Baicha sniffed, "I really don't know about this."
"Whether it's true or not, you know it in your heart! On the surface, they say they are your fans. But why did they only take pictures of you and not others? You little actors, being able to join the troupe and follow a famous director, can't help but think of ways to increase your fame. You step on the director and other people in the troupe to climb up!"
