Chapter 1217: Great Prestige
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were some unwritten rules in the entertainment circle. Before the start of each scene, they had to worship the Gods and pray for peaceful filming.
The producers and directors were preparing to worship when they suddenly heard a girl’s voice. “Wait.”
It was bad luck to disrupt the ceremony, and everyone looked unhappily at the source of the voice. They saw Jin Ling’er standing alone a few steps away from the crowd, sneering. “You’re worshipping? Are you all guilty? Someone used some underhand methods and improper means to get her role, and you still hope for this movie to be successful? Tsk!”
This statement was even more of bad luck.
Nowadays, which drama didn’t use relations? It was a hidden rule in the industry, who knew someone would be so undiscriminating and actually come up here to criticize, wasn’t she obviously picking a fight?
“Who are you?” An assistant director couldn’t help but say. “Security!”
Soon a security guard came and dragged Jin Ling’er out.
Jin Ling’er’s arm was pulled, but she struggled and refused to leave, shouting in disapproval. “You will have bad luck! This show will fail! Blame Jiang Bilian for snatching her role, she brought the bad luck!”
Among a group of actors, Jiang Bilian’s expression was bad.
As soon as Jin Ling’er had appeared, she knew that something bad was going on. Thus, she had shrunk into the crowd, pretending not to know Jin Ling’er. Unexpectedly, Jin Ling’er still implicated her. Although the disruption of the ceremony had nothing to do with her, she knew how superstitious the people in the crew were—it was hard to guarantee that those producers, directors and sale celebrities wouldn’t blame these twists and turns on her.
Sure enough, there were already some people glaring at her unkindly.
The starring actress of this movie had taken part in this after the last Nebula Film Festival. She was of a high grade and her career was in full swing now, so this movie was especially valuable. Now that the ceremony had such bad luck, how could she feel comfortable inside? “It’s just a small character, why did you incur such trouble? You really think highly of yourself.” She mocked quietly. It wasn’t clear who she was scolding, but several people heard it and also smirked.
“Calm down, Sister Qi, you are in good fortune, why do you need to worry about the little evil? It’s just a farce of a few little people, you shouldn’t anger yourself over them. Your skin is so well-maintained and it’s much more expensive than all of them added together. If you get angry, you’ll grow fine lines easily. It’s not worth it.” After coaxing repeatedly, Sister Qi’s expression got better.
Jiang Bilian was uneasy and whispered an apology to her. “I’m sorry, sister Qi.”
Sister Qi stood away a bit disgustingly without even looking at Jiang Bilian. She said to her assistant, “Stand there a little bit and help me block the bad luck.” She was treating Jiang Bilian as the beast of a flood.
Jiang Bilian was both humiliated and aggrieved. She felt that she had never been so ashamed in her life. Seeing the gloating eyes around her, she desperately wanted to dig a hole and dive into it. Jin Ling’er… she would remember this and take revenge on her!
Jin Ling’er was dragged out by two strong security guards. While struggling, she continued to yell, “Your drama has bad luck! What’s the matter, you’re not letting me say it? I wish you a bad reputation and a falling attendance rate!” She knew she had no power nor authority, and it was impossible to help Xia Yingluo get back the role all by herself, so she had come here simply to make a scene. She wanted to embarrass her and help her sister vent anger.
The security guard dropped her on the ground. “Go away!”
Jin Ling’er stumbled a few meters away, everything in her carry bag was scattered, and even her bones were weak. She fell to the ground for a long time and couldn’t get up, but she didn’t forget to yell, “The stupid crew has under-the-table manipulation! I’ll send my greetings to your whole family!” When she was done scolding them, she held her waist and got up with difficulty. “Ouch, my old waist, they’re really vicious. If my waist is broken, just wait and see! Ouch… it hurts…”
She got up slowly in pain and almost hit onto an expressionless face. The face was close to her, so close that the tip of her nose almost touched his. She was stunned and yelped in shock before falling back to the ground.
This time, it was so painful that tears came out.
“Who are you! Damn bastard!” She scolded aggrievedly. “Didn’t you see me on the ground! How did you even walk to have knocked into me directly?! Huh?! It hurts so bad!”
The other party did not speak.
Jin Ling’er scolded for a long time before feeling abnormal. She looked up and saw that the other party was still standing there, staring at her expressionlessly. It was a man in a suit, he was tall and slender and looked about thirty-years-old. He had a somber look on his handsome cold face, and when he looked down at her, there was a sense of oppression.
Somehow, Jin Ling’er suddenly felt guilty.
However, she was not afraid of anything and quickly suppressed her guilty conscience. She staring fiercely at the man. “What do you looking at? Don’t you know how to help me? Do you know you hit me!”
Beside the man, the accompanying assistant could not help but scold her. “How are you talking to President Du!”
The man raised his hand slightly to stop the assistant’s scolding.
Jin Ling’er looked at them with a sneer. “What President Du? I haven’t heard of it, it’s so powerful!” She forgot that she was still on the ground in a fragile state and her head of rusty golden hair was messy. She looked like a bad girl.
The man stood still and reached out his hand.
She froze for a moment, then realized that the other party was about to pull her up, so she took his hand politely. His hands were dry and strong, and thin calluses were on his knuckles, which made her heart beat strangely. She quickly pressed down the strangeness, stabilized her body, and stared at him fiercely.
“President Du, Sister Qi is sending a message asking if you have arrived. Let’s go in,” said the assistant beside him.
The man left Jin Ling’er and walked in.
“Hey, stand still!” Jin Ling’er couldn’t help but call.
The man really stood still. He glanced at her, calm and not surprised.
Suddenly, Jin Ling’er felt irritable and didn’t know why she wanted to stop him. It was probably his uncaring attitude that irritated her. For the past few days, she had done things for her good sister Xia Yingluo and had already accumulated all kinds of anger. “What are you looking at, have you never seen a beauty!” She scolded.
The assistant next to the man was unhappy. “What’s your problem? Our President Du has seen lots of beauties, but never one like you who is full of mud! Why don’t you take a look in the mirror!”
“You!” Jin Ling’er was so annoyed that all her grievances rose and she glared at him. “Rich people are bastards, but even the rich people’s running dogs are bastards! You are all lousy!”
