"Who are you, a privileged relative who stumbled in here? Your crying scene isn't even convincing, and you still want to play Li Shengnan. Is it Liang Cuiping (Liang Jingru's real name) who gave you the courage?"
"These despicable people, taking advantage of the fact that this drama of mine can't be broadcast yet, dare to stuff all sorts of rubbish at me. Do they really think I'm a garbage disposal?"
"Oh, I just said a few words to you, and you're crying now. What a pretentious, wronged look. Who are you trying to show off to?"
"Scram, scram, scram! I get angry just looking at you."
The two of them were startled by the furious scolding.
They hadn't expected the renowned Guan Suying to have such a fiery temper.
However, it made sense. Guan Suying was born a rich heiress of a conglomerate.
Being wealthy and utterly doted on by her parents, everything went her way. Such pampering naturally wouldn't foster a good temper.
They wondered which artist was unlucky enough to run into Guan Suying's wrath.
Seeing this, Xiao Xu quickly said with a fawning smile, "Miss Jiang, Director Guan... she's on her period lately, so her temper is a bit bad. She's usually not like this. Once you get to know her for a while, you'll realize she's actually very easy to get along with and never puts on airs as a rich young lady."
Jiang Ling smiled faintly, "I understand. Time will tell."
People with ability and shrewdness generally don't have the best tempers.
This was true not just in the entertainment industry, but in other fields as well.
When capable people throw a tantrum, it's called having a personality.
When someone lacks ability but acts pompous and arrogant, they can only be described with the classic line from Fertilizer Empress – bitches are just pretentious!
Sister Sa, however, was thinking, "With such a temper, it's no wonder 'The Jade Bow of the Cloud Sea' is constantly facing setbacks, with its main and supporting cast members collapsing one after another. Heaven must be displeased. If it were for the fifty million yuan in salary, I would definitely advise Jiang Ling to leave!"
Each lost in their own thoughts, the two followed Xiao Xu onto the set.
There, they saw a middle-aged noblewoman, dressed in a graceful apricot-colored gown and impeccably maintained, angrily scolding a female artist in her early twenties.
This delicate and pitiable-looking artist was none other than An Qiuyan.
Why was it her?
It truly was a case of enemies meeting on a narrow path!
Seeing that it was An Qiuyan, Jiang Ling was first surprised, then puzzled.
According to the original novel's plot, An Qiuyan was suppressed by Old Master Shen and, by chance, landed the leading role in an obscure film.
In the novel, it was this role that made her an overnight sensation and propelled her onto the path of life's peak.
She should be filming in the adjacent studio right now. Why was she here?
Jiang Ling had no idea that her tearful plea before Old Master Shen that day had further fueled the group's patriarch's aversion to An Qiuyan, a man who already had little regard for entertainment industry artists.
To break up this pair of forbidden lovers, Old Master Shen first used the excuse of group business cooperation to send Shen Mingjue on a business trip to a distant location, one that would keep him away for over half a year.
Afterward, he used his influence in the business world to prevent Huahuo Media from providing An Qiuyan with any resources.
However, Old Master Shen hadn't anticipated that before Shen Mingjue departed, he had already arranged with Huahuo Media for An Qiuyan to be the female lead.
Naturally, Shen Mingjue couldn't be easily offended. As the eldest young master of the Shen family, Shen Mingjue inherited the legacy left by Old Madam Shen, owning 20% of Huahuo Media's shares, making him a major shareholder as well.
Unable to offend either side, Zheng Yueshan passed this hot potato to Wang Tian.
