Out of control and sinking

Chapter 9 Jiang Ruan Gets Beaten
Chen Nan blinked, even wondering if he was blind. He actually saw President Bo smile?!
Good heavens, this is unbelievable.

Chen Nan could count the number of times he saw Bo Ye smile on one hand throughout the year.

But this also made Chen Nan fully understand Jiang Ruan's place in his heart.

—

After joining the crew, Jiang Ruan was very busy every day, either filming or memorizing scripts.

She has high hopes for the female lead role; she is alluring and assertive, with clear likes and dislikes, and has a lot of screen time.

If you act well, you're sure to become a big star.

Jiang Ruan is very confident and has put all her energy into acting. Apart from filming, she is now basically isolated from the outside world.

My phone is in airplane mode, and I'm not logging into Weibo.

Occasionally, they'll promote their new dramas to generate buzz.

When Sister Qin came in, Jiang Ruan was reading the script.

But Qin Jie couldn't suppress her gossipy nature: "Honey, do you know the latest news? Li Peng didn't just ask for leave, he was forced to leave the entertainment industry. He can forget about ever working in this industry again."

"And guess what's even more exciting?"

Jiang Ruan looked away from the script. Dressed in a pink lotus-embroidered ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), she exuded a pure and youthful aura. Beneath her arched eyebrows, her pair of dark, clear, doe-like eyes looked innocent and pitiful, making her seem like the embodiment of the original novel's heroine.

At this moment, her eyes, brimming with autumn water, gazed at Sister Qin with great interest and asked, "What?"

"Feihong Entertainment has been acquired!"

"It's the company that Li Peng's brother owns. They've nurtured countless popular stars in the entertainment industry. They were acquired just like that, without a single word."

"But no matter how powerful it is, it's not as powerful as the person who acquired it. That's the current president of the Bo Group, the heir of Kyoto, with a net worth of hundreds of billions."

Jiang Ruan's thick eyelashes fluttered, and she abruptly looked up: "Who are you talking about?"

"Bo Ye, that's the president of Bo's Group."

Sister Qin said, "If it were someone else acquiring Feihong, I would be quite shocked. After all, Feihong has been around for so many years. To be uprooted so easily would require a powerful background. The key is that there was no warning at all. If it were Bo Ye, then it would be perfectly normal."

"After all, the Bo family's current status in the capital is not something anyone can afford to offend, and Bo Ye is known for his unpredictable temper and ruthlessness."

"A person who can kick even his own biological father out of the Bo family, how could he possibly be kind to others?"

Sister Qin said with a slurred tone.

"I guess those two brothers from the Li family must have offended them somehow, otherwise they wouldn't have been so ruthless as to directly acquire their company."

As Jiang Ruan listened, her delicate lips were tightly pursed, her eyes lowered and calm, revealing no emotion.

"Maybe."

Sister Qin sneered: "Li Peng has been running rampant in the entertainment industry for so many years because his older brother is the boss of Feihong Entertainment. I don't know how many young girls he has taken advantage of. It can only be said that God has eyes and Heaven is watching what people do."

"This is also revenge for you. I made you drink so much last time. I just wonder how the guy next door feels when he finds out about this."

Sister Qin was very gloating.

Sister Qin had no good impression of either the father or the daughter; one was a despicable and shameless scoundrel, and the other was a scheming, scheming princess.

If you have no acting skills and can't do anything, all you'll do is be spoiled and willful.

She used to bully others because of Li Peng; let's see what she does now.

The entertainment industry is not a charity; it's full of people who fawn over the powerful and bully the weak.

Just saying.

"Jiang Ruan, you can film the scene this afternoon first. Get ready."

The director stormed in and said, his face clearly grim.

Jiang Ruan and Sister Qin exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

"Director, what's going on? Isn't this afternoon's scene supposed to be Li Xin's?" Sister Qin asked. The director snorted coldly, "So what if it's her? Does she really think she's a big star, giving me attitude? Doesn't she realize that if it weren't for her father, I would never have let her join the crew?"

"Feihong is gone, yet they still treat her like a rich young lady."

"Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror?"

See, that's how realistic the entertainment industry is.

Jiang Ruan vaguely remembered the entourage Li Xin had when she first arrived at the film crew; the director personally held an umbrella for her and smiled apologetically.

Now all I can say is, "When people leave, the tea grows cold."

After Jiang Ruan agreed, the director left.

Sister Qin looked at her worriedly: "We've already filmed for so long this morning, can your body handle filming again this afternoon?"

Jiang Ruan patted her shoulder, reassuring her, "I'm fine, Sister Qin."

"Let's go."

It's good to film earlier, because the sooner we finish filming, the sooner we can wrap up production.

Jiang Ruan put a lot of effort into this drama.

Given more time, she tried her best to shoot more shots in her best condition.

"OK then."

When Jiang Ruan came out, she could still hear the sound of things being smashed in the next room.

There was also the sound of crying.

The noise inside was deafening, and there were plenty of people outside watching the spectacle.

Jiang Ruan looked away and went to the filming location under the umbrella held by Sister Qin.

Originally, the scene scheduled for this afternoon was between Li Xin and the male lead, but now it has to be changed to Jiang Ruan and the male lead.

This drama is a historical romance drama.

The female protagonist is a wealthy heiress named Shangguan Ruo, but she is not favored because her mother died early. Her stepmother makes things difficult for her in every way, and in the end, she is sold to a fifty-year-old Grand Commandant to succeed her.

The female protagonist was weak-willed, but she was also aware of the humiliation, and in the end she hanged herself in the bridal chamber.

Jiang Ruan plays Shangguan Ruo after her rebirth.

Her tragic fate in her previous life transformed her. In this life, she is clever, shrewd, and good at scheming. She later meets the powerful and influential Prince Jing, who is also the male protagonist. The two fall in love and eventually get married, and she becomes Prince Jing's consort.

Finally, King Jing ascended the throne and abolished the harem, making Shangguan Ruo the only empress in history.

Li Xin plays Shangguan Yu, the daughter of Shangguan Ruo's stepmother and the second young lady of the Shangguan family.

To outsiders, she appears gentle and lovely, but in reality, she is domineering, unreasonable, and often bullies and abuses the female lead.

Shangguan Yu has loved Prince Jing since childhood and dreams of becoming his queen.

They even resorted to using drugs.

Unexpectedly, this just happened to bring Shangguan Ruo and Prince Jing together.

Shangguan Yu's final fate was also tragic.

With the plot etched in her mind, Jiang Ruan quickly got into character and acted perfectly with the male lead.

The first scene was skipped.

The second game begins.

As I was filming, I heard a woman's voice behind me.

"Wasn't this my scene this afternoon? How did it become Jiang Ruan's?"
