“Did you guys run into each other here today?”
“Yeah,” facing her friend, Wenyan couldn’t help but complain again, “She actually followed me for dozens of kilometers in her car just because of a hair tie I accidentally dropped. At first, I thought I was being stalked.”
“A hair tie? Surely that’s not worth it?”
“I thought so too. So, will you accept the role? Why don’t you just agree? The script is good, and we can work together. With you on board, I’m sure this drama will be a hit!”
“You have that much faith in me?”
“Of course! You’re the female lead, how could a drama with the main character not be a hit,” she said with conviction, “You’re a guaranteed ratings boost!”
Even though she knew it was just polite talk, Jiang Wanwan was pleased to hear it.
“For that comment alone, I’ll agree. I’m wrapping up here tonight, and if they’re ready on their side, I believe we’ll be seeing each other very soon.”
“Perfect!” Wenyan raised her Coke in excitement, “Let’s drink to that!”

The next day, Wenyan received a notice to return to the set.
She and Jiang Wanwan arrived one after the other.
The director personally came to greet them as soon as they arrived on set.
Wenyan was happy to see the director return.
Wenyan congratulated the director: “It’s great that you could come back, Director. It shows that the production team has a bit of sense, knowing who to fight for and who to let go.”
However, the expression on the director’s face became difficult to read upon hearing this.
All he did was nod toward a certain direction, and then Wenyan saw Fu Yiqing, already dressed in her costume, lying on a chair and playing with her phone.
Both Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan were surprised by the sight.
“What’s going on?” Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan exchanged glances, then turned their gaze to the director.
“Wasn’t she replaced? Why did the production team bring Jiang Wanwan here, they’re not playing some kind of joke, are they?”
“No, that’s not it. The production team didn’t mean that. The role of Consort Li is still played by Jiang Wanwan. As for Fu Yiqing, she hasn’t been kicked out, her position has just been downgraded to playing Princess Hejing.”
Princess Hejing is another important female character in the drama, second only to the two leads in screen time.

“What about the actress who was originally playing Princess Hejing?”
“She’s out.”
“Okay then.” Wenyan frowned slightly, looking around.
Seeing Wenyan’s action, the director also looked around: “Who are you looking for, that actress? We already notified her not to come.”
Wenyan could have guessed that would be the outcome.
She shook her head: “No, I was not looking for her, just glancing around.”
In fact, she was subconsciously searching for Qin Yulong’s presence.
If someone asked her why she was looking, she probably couldn’t explain why.

With the role change, many scenes had to be reshot.
However, both the director and most actors were professionals and quickly got into their roles.
Wenyan and Jiang Wanwan’s acting was on point, and the director was very good at communicating with the actors; they mostly got it right on the first take.
They enjoyed the acting and the director was thrilled with the shooting.
Fu Yiqing, who had had a falling out with the director and switched roles three times, was much more emotional.
Although the director did not intentionally make things difficult for her, even if she got it right in one take, she did not receive any praise.
By comparison, Fu Yiqing felt extremely imbalanced, and her dissatisfaction also spread to Jiang Wanwan.
She believed that Jiang Wanwan had stolen her role and had been holding her anger with nowhere to vent it.
But today’s scene gave her an opportunity.
In the early part of the drama, the character played by Jiang Wanwan is a palace maid who is whipped by the drunk princess.
Although there was a pad on Jiang Wanwan’s back, it still hurt a bit when the whip actually struck.
Usually, in such scenes, the other actor tries to avoid mistakes, for making them would mean harming the actor with every retake, which is something anyone would be conscious of.
But Fu Yiqing did not do so, and the whipping scene had several NGs (no-goods).
Jiang Wanwan tolerated the first three takes, since everyone makes mistakes from time to time.
But on the fourth take, Fu Yiqing was still careless.
The director couldn’t sit still: “What’s the matter with you, Miss Fu? This is a horsewhip, not the long kind of snapping whip. Is it that difficult to aim a bit more precisely with this short whip?
If your aim is that bad, then we won’t shoot it, we’ll get someone else. I don’t need face shots, and you can step aside now to observe and learn, OK?”
Seeing the director protect Jiang Wanwan, Fu Yiqing felt even more upset.
