529 Chapter 5

Feng Nan believed that Dai Jia’s jealousy toward Jiang se might come in handy one day.

However, even though she was using people, she was suspicious and kept a close eye on Dai Jia. During the filming process, Feng Nan noticed that Dai Jia was answering a phone call. When she was asking, she was staring at Dai Jia with a sharp gaze and a bottle in her hand.

Dai Jia lowered her head and said meekly, ”

“It’s Huo Zhiming’s assistant.”

When she said the name ‘Huo Zhiming’, the vigilance in Feng Nan’s eyes relaxed a little. He smiled and nodded, indicating for Dai Jia to continue.

Dai Jia glanced at the set in the distance. The young director was still talking to a few actors, and the staff on the set were walking around in complete disorder. She lowered her voice and said,

Huo Zhiming’s assistant said, ” she paused and Feng Nan’s face darkened, ”

“What did he say?”

someone has already signed the role of ‘Shen xuanran’ in ‘suspect’, which you have your eyes on.

As soon as Dai Jia finished speaking, Feng Nan gasped. He placed his hand on Dai Jia’s arm and pinched it hard before he could speak again.

“W-what did you just say?”

The first thing that came to her mind was that Huo Zhiming had chosen fan Zhiyun as the female lead in “suspect “, just as she remembered from her previous life.

Feng Nan trembled in anger as the thought surfaced in her mind.

She had contacted Huo Zhiming before and expressed her intention to join his crew. If it was during Huo Zhiming’s early years, Feng Nan would naturally not have a chance with his status in the entertainment industry.

But now that Huo Zhiming was getting worse and worse, it gave her an opportunity. She had auditioned for ‘Shen xuanran’ before. In terms of acting skills, Feng Nan didn’t think there was much of a problem with her. However, for some reason, Huo Zhiming did not agree to it.

Feng Nan had wanted to bring his own investment into the group, so he was not in a hurry to force the old man, Huo Zhiming.

Based on her experience in her previous life, she knew that investing in ‘suspect’ would only bring her benefits and no harm. This movie had good box office results and a good reputation. If she could invest in this movie and get ‘Shen xuanran’ with these conditions, she would get both fame and fortune.

However, she did not have a lot of money on hand. In the past few years in the entertainment industry, Feng Nan had taken on many small advertising endorsements and had also earned some money. However, he had invested most of it in the filming of ‘revenge’ earlier on. In the end,’revenge’, which she had high hopes for, did not bring her satisfactory results.

In addition, after becoming a star, she had to attend many events, and she also needed to buy clothes and jewelry. She was not famous enough, so she had to spend her own money on many things.

In her early years, she could still rely on some of Feng Nan’s collections to tide over her difficulties. However, as time passed, many of her valuable collections had been sold out by her. Feng Zhongliang had also cut off her dividends from Zhongnan industries and even frozen some of the cards and funds under her name, making Feng Nan feel a sense of embarrassment.

When it came to investing in “suspect,” she felt helpless. She had once borrowed money from some of the Feng family’s cousins. However, the Feng family seemed to be harmonious on the surface, but they were actually scheming against each other.

It was not known if this group of people had been greeted by Feng Zhongliang, but they were all talking about other things, and sometimes even mocking him.

She had tried to persuade Zhao junhan to invest in ‘suspect’ so that he could earn money and she could get the role. However, Feng Nan recalled the scene when Zhao junhan had turned his back on her.

Now, the two of them were only in the name of fiancée and fiancée, but in reality, they each played on their own. Zhao junhan even brazenly kept a few mistresses and opened an entertainment investment company. His business was doing very well.

He often saw gossip about him hooking up with small stars in magazines and tabloids, which made Feng Antarctic feel embarrassed. Naturally, he was even more unwilling to let Zhao junhan take advantage of it.

That was until Dai Jia came to her side and gave her advice.

Knowing that Feng Nan was short of money and wanted to invest in Huo Zhiming’s script, Dai Jia suggested that she should take on a few more low-cost movies first, and then talk about investing in ‘suspect’ after she got the money.

Huo Zhiming had held the script in his hands for so many years and had been preparing for the movie, but he had hit a wall everywhere. He might not be able to make a movie in a short time.

When Dai Jia brought up this suggestion, Feng Nan felt that she made a lot of sense.

As far as she could remember, ” suspect ” was supposed to start shooting next year. She still had time, so she signed a total of seven films this year. Each one could be said to be terrible as long as she paid.

An unknown director, a messy script, and a team that was hard to explain in a few words. She had accepted these movies without caring about her reputation because of money.

The seven movies had squeezed her time to the limit this year. Sometimes, she had to fly all over the country to film. She had earned more than 10 million Yuan in total. Just as Feng Nan was feeling very happy, he heard that Huo Zhiming had already signed the role of ‘Shen xuanran’ to someone else.

If that was the case, then why had she been filming these lousy films all this time?

Feng Nan felt as if someone had punched her in the chest with a heavy hammer, causing her to be unable to breathe.

“Come over here.”

She reached out and tugged at Dai Jia’s arm, not caring if her nails had hurt her.

In the distance, Feng Nan’s other assistant did not even dare to breathe loudly. He looked at Dai Jia with sympathy, but Dai Jia seemed to feel no pain at all. She obediently let Feng Nan drag her to the side until they reached a corner with fewer people. Feng Nan raised his arm and slapped Dai Jia’s face with a loud slap.

Dai Jia’s head was smacked to the side, and Feng Nan was so angry that his chest heaved up and down.

didn’t you say that we’ll have to take on a bunch of films first? it’s impossible for Huo Zhiming’s movie to find a hezhi person in a short time.

She reached out her finger and poked Dai Jia’s neck continuously. She had nowhere to vent her anger. To Feng Nan, Huo Zhiming’s actions were like someone stabbing him in the back. He was so angry that he was about to go crazy.

She watched helplessly as a good opportunity slipped away from her. She raised her arm and wanted to hit someone again.

When Dai Jia made the suggestion, she thought it was a good idea, but Feng Nan had lost his mind in a fit of rage. After she said that, Dai Jia turned around and licked the corner of her mouth, which was scratched by Feng Nan’s nails. She said gently, ”

“Miss Feng, it shouldn’t have been possible to decide on a candidate so quickly.”

“You still dare to lie to me? Did Jiang se send you here to mess with me?”

Feng Nan’s tone was sinister, and Dai Jia lowered her head even more.

I’m not lying to you. Because this time, the person who signed the contract for the role of ‘Shen xuanran’ in ‘suspect’ is not fan Zhiyun, but Tao cen from century Galaxy.

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Nan, who was about to hit her, stopped and retorted instinctively, ”

“Tao cen?” She was so shocked that she raised her voice, ”

“This is impossible!”

“It’s Tao cen,”

Dai Jia touched her red and swollen cheek with the back of her hand. She lowered her eyes to hide her expression.

it’s precisely because she accepted the script that the female lead role in ‘criminal suspects’ was decided so quickly.

Whether it was status, fame, or acting skills, Tao cen was not someone fan Zhiyun could compare to. That was why she decided to take on Huo Zhiming’s script, and that was why everything went so smoothly.

...

It was because she had her eyes on the role of ‘Shen xuanran’ that Feng Nan had lost his chance.

However, what Dai Jia found strange was that for some reason, Feng Nan was so sure that fan Zhiyun was the one who filmed ‘suspect’.

Moreover, when she heard that Tao cen had accepted the role, she had firmly expressed that it was impossible.

Although Dai Jia did find this a little unexpected, Huo Zhiming was a famous director after all. Although he was not very famous now, he had some previous works. The cooperation with Tao cen was unexpected to many people, but Feng Nan’s reaction was very certain.

She gave Dai Jia the impression that she seemed to know ” suspect ” very well and was certain that fan Zhiyun would be the female lead. She never thought that there would be anyone else competing for the role.

While most people in the industry were not optimistic about Huo Zhiming’s new film, Feng Nan seemed to be very confident about ” suspect ” and was determined to make money to invest in it. It was as if she had already known that ” suspect ” would be a hit after it was released. It would be good at the box office and the female lead would gain both fame and fortune.

As Dai Jia thought about this, she was a little distracted.

Feng Nan was a strange person. She was born in Zhongnan industry and was the daughter of a wealthy family, but her behavior and words did not seem like a well-educated socialite at all. She had a bad temper and was very arrogant.

It was said that she and her fiancé, Zhao junhan, had established Jiangnan entertainment together. However, in the days that Dai Jia had been with Feng Nan, she realized that she and Zhao junhan had almost no contact. She had heard some colleagues in the company talk about how the fiancé and fiancé hated each other.

Her colleagues in the company did not like her and often laughed behind her back at Feng Nan for not having the feeling of a socialite. Instead, she was like a third-rate star in the entertainment industry who was eager to make a name for herself and could not be put on the stage.

Most importantly, she had an inexplicable hatred for Jiang se. As for the exact reason, Dai Jia had yet to figure it out.

...

Dai Jia remembered that when she saw her resume and found out that she had signed with Jufeng entertainment and had killed someone because of it, she still remembered the suspicious look in her eyes.

The two of them had their own thoughts on their minds. Feng Nan felt that the situation had developed beyond his control. It was as if all his memories from his previous life were in a mess, and his previous experience did not have the slightest advantage at this time.

A lot of things had changed so much that she even had a feeling that her memory was messed up. Perhaps there was no previous life, and she had not been reborn.

She was a little flustered, so she did not notice Dai Jia’s absent-mindedness.

The person who had stolen the role of ‘Shen xuanran’ was Tao cen. Naturally, Feng Nan had lost all his chances.

If it had been fan Zhiyun, she would have still been able to put up a fight. However, she did not have the confidence to do so when she was up against Tao cen, be it in her previous life or this one.

Other than Feng Nan and some domestic industry insiders, Xia Chaoqun, who was accompanying Jiang se to shoot ” God’s redemption ” in Italy, also received the news that Tao cen had joined the cast of ” the suspect “.

The crew had a last-minute change of cast. Jiang se was reshooting Laura. In Brown’s previous scenes, she and Donald’s cooperation was quite tacit, and the shooting was much smoother than before.

After rushing to finish a scene that needed to be reshot, Cesare motioned for them to take a break.

Jiang se had lost some weight recently. Chessaray had requested her to lose at least eight pounds as soon as possible. Lannie’s character was completely different from Shireen’s. She should have looked thin and weak, unlike Shireen, who was full of energy and fighting spirit.

She couldn’t rest after filming. She squatted with a 15-pound ball and was drenched in sweat.

Mo Anqi whispered, ”

“Sister Xia, does Sese know that Tao cen has accepted ‘suspect’?”

Huo Zhiming’s script had always been with Xia Chaoqun. Back then, Jiang se had picked it out, and Xia Chaoqun clearly had the intention to keep it for her.

Someone from the company had called Xia Chaoqun to inform him of the news. It would have been fine if someone else had accepted the role, but it had to be Tao cen. Mo Anqi couldn’t help but think more about it.

“Is this a coincidence or Tao cen’s intention?”

During Chesare’s ” Lost City “, Tao cen had already tried to steal Jiang SE’s role.

However, ” the lost city ” was a commercial film with a large investment at the time, and the director was the famous Chesare, so it was reasonable for Tao cen to snatch such a role.

Huo Zhiming hadn’t been famous in recent years, so Tao cen shouldn’t have been interested in his movie scripts.

“How can there be so many coincidences?”

Xia Chaoqun glanced at Jiang se in the distance and chuckled.

Tao cen was a thoughtful person and never believed in coincidences. He believed that it was all up to someone.

The director of ” suspect ” was Huo Zhiming. If it was not for Jiang SE’s interest in the drama, the possibility of her reading the script would be zero.

“Not a coincidence? Didn’t tao cen steal the role on purpose again?” Mo Anqi furrowed her brows and lowered her voice in anger.

Xia Chaoqun shifted his gaze away from Jiang se and stared at mo Anqi. He asked with a faint smile, ”

“Stealing roles? What role did you steal?”

Mo Anqi was a little confused by her question. She mumbled, ”

the female lead ‘Shen xuanran’ in ‘criminal suspect’.

“Sese did read the script of ‘suspect’ at the beginning.” Xia Chaoqun smirked. however, from the beginning to the end, she wasn’t looking at the character ‘Shen xuanran’. She was looking at the character’ Zhong Qi ‘in’ suspect’.

Back then, Tao cen had thought of a way to steal Jiang SE’s chance to film ” the lost city “. When Xia Chaoqun had gotten the script for ” suspects ” and Jiang se had chosen it, she had also paid extra attention to it. Among the characters in the script, she had not circled ‘Zhong Qi’ but the female lead ‘Shen xuanran’. She had done so to prevent such a thing from happening.

Perhaps even Tao cen herself could not have guessed that Jiang se was indeed interested in ” suspect. however, she was not interested in the righteous female police officer in the movie. Instead, she was interested in the villain character who did not have many scenes.
