“It’s good that you know. Then why aren’t you adding Jiang Yu’s scenes back?!” Sister Xia shouted angrily.

The director was in a dilemma again. “Sister Xia, this isn’t something that we can decide. It all depends on the investors. We will do whatever they ask us to do. Li Yue and Qin Yuan’s scenes have already been cut, but with Jiang Yu’s scenes, the duration will definitely exceed. So we decided to take advantage of the fact that Jiang Yu hasn’t started filming yet to cut her scenes first. That way, it’ll be more convenient later on.”

“But it won’t be cut to two scenes, right?” Sister Xia threw the script in her hand at the director, “Take a look for yourself, huh?! There weren’t many lines to begin with, but now that you’ve cut them, there’s not even a single line! Could it be that our Jiang Yu is here to be a mute guest star?!”

“We really have no choice…” The director’s voice became softer and softer as he looked at Jiang Yu for help.

Jiang Yu understood and stopped Sister Xia. “Sister Xia, you can’t blame the director for this. After all, everyone is paid to do things. The director has to do whatever the higher-ups want him to do, so it’s not up to him.”

“But you can’t cut so many lines, right? And you’ve even changed the character!” Sister Xia picked up the script again, she handed it to Jiang Yu. “Take a look for yourself. You went from a strong woman to a nameless little girl who was persecuted by others!”

Jiang Yu flipped through the script and saw two scenes that belonged to her.

One was in school, wearing a white floral dress and smiling at the person she liked.

The other was humiliated. Her clothes were tattered and her face was dirty. She looked desperate.

“There are only two scenes, so it’s pretty easy. The main point is that I don’t need to say anything. That makes it even easier for me,” Jiang Yu said with a smile.

Sister Xia knew that Jiang Yu was only saying this to ease the atmosphere, but she was still very angry. “Those who don’t know would think that you’re not famous, that’s why you’re being bullied like this.”

The director once again explained in a low voice, “Sister Xia, we really don’t dare to bully you guys…”

“Stop talking,” Sister Xia interrupted the director. “Didn’t you say we were going to shoot? Hurry up and shoot. We’ll leave immediately after we’re done. Don’t waste our time here.”

“Okay, okay!” The director quickly brought Jiang Yu to the dressing room to put on her makeup.

Jiang Yu first put on a white floral dress, and her hair was simply tied into a ponytail. Moreover, she was originally a university student, so her temperament was exactly the same as the character in the script.

She held a few books in her hands and smiled at the male actor who was acting.

The scene was over. The director did not even look at it carefully. He sent Jiang Yu to the dressing room to change her clothes and then changed her clothes.

Sister Xia stood beside Jiang Yu and was a little angry. “He didn’t even look at the effects of your shoot? And he’s still saying that it wasn’t his own wish. Isn’t that obvious that he’s lying?”

Jiang Yu sat there and put on makeup. “Maybe he’s just in a hurry.”

“What’s there to rush? In order to suppress you, Qin Yuan didn’t hesitate to ask the investors to shorten the duration of the film, and even her scenes were cut. But no matter how much her scenes were cut, it’s still more than yours.”

The more Sister Xia spoke, the more she felt wronged for Jiang Yu, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have helped you take on this film. But the opening ceremony has already been held, and the news has already been released. If you say that you’re not going to act anymore, I’m afraid that the public will say that you’re acting like a big shot. Sigh, this is too difficult.”

“It’s fine. Actually, I really want to cut out my scenes.” Jiang Yu smiled, “Otherwise, I’ll have to spend the next few days with Li Yue and Qin Yuan. Li Yue is fine, but Qin Yuan will always say some weird things. If I listen to her for a month, I might go crazy.”

“Sigh.” Sister Xia sighed. “I only hope that these two shots have some quality. Don’t give people the feeling that you’re just a supporting role that can be easily added.”

As she spoke, Jiang Yu finished putting on her makeup and went out to shoot the remaining scene.

Jiang Yu sat on the windowsill in the bedroom. After mulling over her emotions, she quickly got into character.
