Chapter 476 - Zhou Manqing’s Change
Chapter 476: Zhou Manqing’s Change
Director Li really didn’t expect Master Chi to ask about Zhou Manqing. He had some doubts in his heart, but Director Li didn’t ask more, and directly replied, “Master Chi, I just met Manqing not long ago, so I’m not that familiar with her. As for changes, I can’t tell from the person, but in terms of acting, I feel that her skills have deteriorated too much!”
“What do you mean, Director Li?”
“To be honest, the reason why I agreed to let Manqing be the female lead in this movie was partly because she had the popularity, but I’ve also watched quite a few of Manqing’s shows in the past. Although her acting skills were a little immature, her eyes were very lively and full of energy. Occasionally, she would be full of explosive power and could be said to be breathtaking. I only watched a few of her early shows before I decided to use her. I thought that when she came over, I could train her. This child’s future would definitely be limitless. It’s just that I didn’t expect that Manqing wouldn’t have acted in so long. Once she starts acting, her eyes and expression become stiff, and completely lack the spirit from before!” Speaking up to this point, Director Li was indeed quite disappointed. How delighted he had been back then was how disappointed he was now.
Nowadays, Zhou Manqing’s acting skills could only be described as average. She was no longer as breathtaking as back then.
It wasn’t that Director Li hadn’t thought of replacing her, but Zhou Manqing knew how to conduct herself, and she seemed to be working hard too, so it wasn’t easy for Director Li to replace her.
Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and didn’t say anything, but Director Li continued prattling away. “No matter what I say or how I teach her, there’s no spirit in her acting. If not for the fact that I still have copies of her performances, I would think I had seen a ghost or invited the wrong person. Manqing was soaking things up back then, but why does she seem like a different person now, and isn’t absorbing anything at all?”
“Is that so?” Chi Shuyan was already guessing that the current Zhou Manqing was indeed different from the Zhou Manqing of the past. No, it should be said that the current Zhou Manqing was Zhou Manning, Zhou Manqing’s younger sister.
It was just that Zhou Manning had used some unknown method to replace her biological sister, Zhou Manqing. No wonder Chi Shuyan had felt that the current Zhou Manqing was very different from the person who debuted.
It was likely that the friend whom Zhou Manning accused of borrowing her luck back then had realized that she wasn’t the same person. It was a pity that she had been found out by Zhou Manning while investigating. Zhou Manning was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she naturally went all out and attacked the other party!
Chi Shuyan guessed that the real Zhou Manqing had most likely died at Zhou Manning’s hands. Now, she had turned into a malicious ghost and had come after Zhou Manning.
Chi Shuyan didn’t linger in Director Li’s tent. However, Director Li was interested in talismans. Since he hadn’t run into anything evil, Chi Shuyan simply gave him ordinary Safety Talismans for 30,000 yuan each.
Director Li bought ten.
It was only because Chi Shuyan didn’t have more that Director Li didn’t buy more.
Chi Shuyan looked at how it didn’t hurt Director Li to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan, as if it was just small change; it seemed that the money earned from acting and directing really wasn’t any ordinary amount.
For a moment, Chi Shuyan wondered if she should try acting for money. After all, Director Li had made an offer before. However, when she thought of how acting still required talent… Fine, she only had a talent for divining fortunes. Instead, she should properly cultivate. As for acting, she could think about it again in her next life!
Chi Shuyan walked out of Director Li’s tent. Director Li wanted to personally see her off to her car, but Chi Shuyan declined since the director was busy with other things.
Director Li suddenly said, “Master Chi, I heard that you’re familiar with Mingxuan. Should I get him to see you off?”
