Vase cannon fodder is pampered by the group again

Chapter 41.3 Women’s clothing, women’s clothing

Editor: Jodi

At the filming site the next day, Shen Ci didn’t see Lin Wan, who was supposed to have scenes with Qin Yun today.

He was just thinking that it was odd when he happened to overhear some passing staff members talking.

“…. It seems he violated the contract by leaking set photos, so according to our agreement, besides compensation, he has to leave the crew.”

“Ah….. then what about the second male lead?”

“We’ll have to hold emergency auditions for a replacement….. Look, the director is over there making a call. It looks like he’s trying to search for someone else….”

Shen Ci blinked. This….. this was the role of the second male lead! He had been replaced just like that?

He looked in the direction of the director not far away who was indeed on the phone…..

The director hung up, looking numb.

Who was it that called him for an audition just now? Oh, it was the supermodel goddess Min Song.

No, wait, Min Song was a girl! What auditioning for a male role?!

And when he asked her for the reason, it turns out she actually wanted to come and act with Shen Ci!

Yesterday’s Lin Wan also tried to collide with Shen Ci and was directly singled out by some big shot in the industry….. The director began to think seriously to see if he had offended Shen Ci.

The phone rang again, and the director took a deep breath then answered.

“Hello? Director Zhu? Our Xia Qing Qing wants to audition for the second male lead, can you arrange it?”

“Oh, she insisted on coming. We at Yunxiao Entertainment have no choice but to pamper our artists, there’s no way around it…. She said she doesn’t want any pay to act! The main thing is to have more scenes with Shen Ci….”

The director: “……”

Act, act, act, act your heads!

Although his thoughts were intense, the director still succumbed to the capital….

These big shots even offered to pay to come and play the second male lead, thanks to them, this low-budget crew had already broken even before filming even began……

What shocked the director the most was, why did the rumoured big boss of Yunxiao Group specifically call to say he wanted to participate?! He was clearly an outsider….

With a tearful heart, the director discussed with the screenwriter to modify the script, adding all the big shots who had called into it.

Of course, considering they were all in the same situation as Yang Ning, who hadn’t acted much, the screenwriter was half bald from the stress of forcing simple roles into the script for their cameo appearances as well as the problem of how to fit these big shots in.

In the end, the second male lead role went to Wei Shuo who was most suitable for the role compared to the others.

However because of this, they had a legitimate reason to modify the script to add a cross-dressing segment!

The director and screenwriter rubbed their hands with excitement. Having been tortured by script changes for days, they had to make it all worth it!

A few days later, Shen Ci and the others were informed of the script changes, as well as the addition and removal of certain characters.

Seeing that Wei Shuo could join, Shen Ci was happy, but also had deeper doubts about the future of this drama.

The casting had become increasingly chaotic, and the drama’s scheduling…..

“By the way, today’s scene requires everyone to do a square dance in the sports field, and you all have to wear the specific costumes we provided.” The director said with a relaxed smile, as if it was no big deal.

The main actors, unaware of the impending disaster, nodded in confusion and were pushed into the fitting rooms.

Shen Ci walked in, then his face turned green when he picked up the costume. Gripping the little skirt in his hand, he banged on the door, “Is this a mistake?!”

All the makeup artists cast meaningful smiles at him, making Shen Ci feel uneasy.

“There’s no mistake, it’s for the scene, hurry up and put it on!”

The makeup artist who was closest to him was so excited that his face turned red as he replied, an expression that said “I’m game” on his face.

Shen Ci: “…”

Feeling both grieve and indignation, he went in to change, and it took him more than ten minutes to come out, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Who on earth came up with such a shameful plot?!

Yang Ning came out from another fitting room, and ignoring the makeup artists’ quiet screams and the noisy surroundings, the two of them held hands like comrades who had just completed a revolutionary meeting.

And seeing each other in women’s clothing, tears welled up in their eyes.

“Seeing you also wearing a skirt, I feel much relieved.” Yang Ning sniffed, touched.

Shen Ci wiped away nonexistent tears and choked out, “Seeing that you look much uglier than I am in the skirt, I’m also much more relieved.”

As they spoke, Wei Shuo, dressed as a flamboyant flower fairy, swaggered over, then separated the two holding hands hurriedly and pulled Xiao Ci to his side.

Shen Ci, seeing him so at ease in women’s clothing, asked skeptically, “Why do you look so proficient?”

Wei Shuo shrugged it off, even sounding proud, “As a popular male internet celebrity who’s both hot and male, isn’t it normal to cross-dress as a thank-you to fans? I’ve worn it several times, and each time I’m moved by my own beauty.”

Shen Ci: “….”

Yang Ning: “….You shameless man, you’re something else.”

Still feeling embarrassed, Shen Ci tugged at the skirt that barely covered his knees, feeling a chill on his buttocks.

“Forget it, for the sake of art!” He yelled sadly and was about to run to the studio, “It’s just cross-dressing, it’s no big deal—”

When his voice came to an abrupt halt as he froze as if struck by lightning, staring dumbfoundedly at someone not far away.

Wei Shuo looked over in confusion and was so frightened that he almost screamed in shock.

…What was Uncle Lu doing here?!
