Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Impersonation
“Gu Qiangwei, what are you doing? Hurry up and bring me my clothes!”
Staring at the hung-up phone, Gu Qiangwei was still in a daze when suddenly, the voice of the lead actress in the advertisement MV, the popular star Mu Jiaqi, rang out from behind her.
Snapping back to reality, Gu Qiangwei paused for half a second, then quickly ran to the makeup room within the film crew, to fetch the clothes Mu Jiaqi was supposed to wear for the advertisement shoot.
This advertisement required it to be night, and the shooting could end after that.
The shoot was for an advertisement for the most renowned international jewelry brand. The content involved the male lead proposing to the female lead with a ring by the poolside.
“Ah, someone’s fallen into the water! Quick, save them!”
No sooner had Gu Qiangwei brought Mu Jiaqi’s clothes over than a cry of alarm emanated from the poolside. Looking closely, she saw several people from the film crew running towards the swimming pool.
Gu Qiangwei was no exception, and ran over as well.
In the midst of the chaos, the person who had fallen into the water was finally rescued—it was actually Mu Jiaqi!
The rescued Mu Jiaqi was quickly taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.
And now, the advertisement was left without its leading lady.
Because it had been quite a feat to secure the leading actors for this advertisement, and not only was their availability limited, but time for shooting the advertisement was also pressing.
And early tomorrow morning, the leading male actor, Lu Yingdi, was due to fly to the UK.@@novelbin@@
In that moment, the director also couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. Where could they find another actor at this time?
The director, being in a tight spot, caught a glimpse of a graceful silhouette out of the corner of his eye.
This figure was quite similar to Mu Jiaqi’s, with long, slightly curled hair, too.
“Hey you, come over here!”
Seeing Gu Qiangwei not far away, the director called out to her.
Gu Qiangwei, looking bewildered, didn’t know who the director meant by “hey you,” but instinctively turned around anyway.
“Yes, you, come here!”
Gu Qiangwei, with a blank face, checked her left and right to make sure there was no one else and then realized the director was calling for her.
“Are you calling me?” she asked, frowning, somewhat surprised at the director.
After sizing her up from head to toe, the director finally spoke, “Do you have any acting experience?”
Gu Qiangwei was taken aback; the question sounded vaguely familiar.
Could it be they wanted her fill in again?
But this time the injured party was a popular actress. Surely they wouldn’t ask her, an obscure bit player, to replace her, right?
Thinking this, Gu Qiangwei dismissed her initial guess. Before she could speak, she heard the voice of the stylist rise.
“She previously played the lead in an advertisement micro-film MV—she’s the one from the fashion advertisement that’s been receiving rave reviews online lately!”
At this, the director appeared quite surprised and turned to look at Gu Qiangwei, “Are you saying the female lead in that campus micro-film advertisement is her?!”
“That’s right!” The stylist smiled and nodded, seemingly guessing the purpose behind the director calling Gu Qiangwei over.
The director took another look at Gu Qiangwei and made up his mind, “Then you’ll replace Mu Jiaqi!”
Gu Qiangwei: “…”
No way…
“But Director, we signed Mu Jiaqi. If we do this, aren’t we breaking the contract…” A staff member couldn’t help but speak up.
The director looked over at Gu Qiangwei, “Her size and Mu Jiaqi’s are quite similar, and with a change of hairstyle, it’ll be fine as long as we don’t shoot her directly in the face.”
“But if we don’t show the face, wouldn’t it anger Mu Jiaqi’s fans?” the staff member continued to worry.
The director gave him a glance, “We’ll finish the scenes with Lu Yingdi first. Those don’t need a direct shot of the face—all the direct face shots are solo, and we can just shoot them with Mu Jiaqi herself if she wakes up tomorrow!”
What do you think?
