Chapter 65 - Naked Substitute’s Suggestion

Chapter 65: Naked Substitute’s Suggestion

“Ptui! You really think too highly of yourself!”

“The lousy resources and artistes that Swallowtail had dumped, yet you picked them up and treat them like treasure. What a joke!”

Jiang Lu was so angry that she lost her cool and arrogantly slandered her. Her words and actions caused the brand and the director to have a very bad impression of her.

Jiang Zhi glanced at the “Newborn” brand logo hanging on the next studio. She knew that the brand was the number one target of the future. She patted Wu Dai’s shoulder lightly and encouraged him, “When you do things, you have to look into the far future.

“I believe in you. I believe that the firm reputation of our brand and the integrity of our company will definitely surpass their sales in the future…”

These words undoubtedly made the staff have a much better impression of Star Glory!

Jiang Lu sneered and said with a face full of sarcasm, “Hehe, who doesn’t know how many shares the brand has in the market? 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

“If your sales for the next quarter can really surpass their sales, I can give you all the endorsement fees from this time!”

Jiang Zhi raised her eyes and poked the recording pen with the red light. She smiled expectantly and said, “I want to try this new recording pen to see if it works. I didn’t expect to be able to record that line! Then… I won’t be polite!

“From today onwards, within 90 days, if our sales volume far exceeds yours, you will have to pay the endorsement fee. I hope everyone present can testify for us!”

Jiang Lu was flustered. She wanted to snatch her recording pen, but she felt embarrassed. She could only grit her teeth and say ruthlessly, “We’ll see!”

The assistant was afraid that she would say something stupid again, so she hurriedly dragged Jiang Lu away from the set.

Jiang Zhi accompanied Wu Dai to shoot until late at night. When she received a call from Director Zheng, she rushed back to the set.

Director Zheng and the assistant director were engrossed in the script. When they saw Jiang Zhi, they waved and said with a conflicted expression, “We’re going to shoot Yu Wan’s scene later. We need a stand-in in the current situation. It’s a nude stand-in. Can you do it for her?”

Jiang Zhi was stunned. She remembered that there was indeed such a scene in the script.

The background of “Beacon Fire” was huge. The male and female protagonists belonged to the opposing camp of the same country. Their identities as enemies and friends made them struggle in the righteousness of their country and their love for their children.

The third female lead played by Yu Wan was the female servant of the female lead. She was extremely loyal to the female lead and naturally wished that the male lead would die soon so as not to affect the female lead.

This scene to be shot involved Yu Wan’s character pretending to be the female lead and seducing the male lead while he was drunk so as to assassinate him.

According to the plot, this was logical.

Jiang Zhi had no reason to persuade Director Zheng to cut it, but she still couldn’t let it go.

As time passed, a few high-wattage lights raised the temperature in the studio. The makeup team and the costume designer waited somewhat impatiently…

Seeing her hesitation, Director Zheng persuaded her, “Our crew is very professional. We only need to expose our backs and legs. The rest of our body parts are strictly protected. Think about it. Even if we wait for Yu Wan to return to the crew, how are we going to shoot it?

“If it weren’t for the urgent situation and the fact that we couldn’t find other substitutes, I wouldn’t have come to you to discuss this.”

Jiang Zhi looked at the cameras and was about to nod her head in agreement.

Lu Mian suddenly walked out of the actors’ lounge and pulled her to his side.

“Jiang Zhi is not a professional stunt-double. She has no responsibility or obligation to film such scenes. As a stunt-double, she has already completed the equestrian part! Shouldn’t we hire a professional?”

“You have no reason to force her…”

Jiang Zhi looked at his back and felt a strong sense of security. She lowered her eyes and smiled.

Lu Mian’s appearance caught everyone off guard. Director Zheng would naturally lose face after being scolded by him.

He simply put the walkie-talkie in front of the monitor and leaned on his forehead in pain. He took off his hat, revealing his dirty hair, and spoke bitterly, “The production team has been plagued with troubles. The actors have been experiencing problems one by one. The management has requested that I complete the filming according to the stipulated time!

“We worked overtime and the two production teams took turns filming. We didn’t sleep for a few days!

“Now, we offered a high reward but couldn’t find a suitable nude substitute. That’s why we suggested Jiang Zhi to be the substitute.

“Yu Wan was hospitalized and couldn’t film. Jiang Zhi, no matter how unwilling you are, I won’t be able to keep Yu Wan’s role! I can only find someone new and risk it all to reshoot…” 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

Director Zheng naturally wanted to give face to Jiang Zhi, but he couldn’t think of any other way under the heavy pressure.
