Perhaps not expecting Su Ran to be so direct, the man was stunned for a moment, then his body involuntarily bent backward, facing the crowd with a blatant expression.

"Teacher Guiyin, it's obvious you don't understand our acting profession. This is how it is, especially since my character is a scoundrel. Naturally, I have to strive for realism, and everything from my expressions to my physiological reactions must be within the normal range."

The man seemed to have prepared himself, both in his words and in his heart. His tone was incredibly natural, as if Su Ran were a newcomer who didn't know the rules.

Su Ran narrowed her eyes. It's inevitable that some male actors will have a reaction due to physiological reasons during intimate contact with female actors; this is an unspoken norm in the industry.

Anyone with a modicum of professional ethics would have corrected themselves repeatedly and would never have acted like this man, using acting as a cover to go further and further astray.

Standing to the side, Shi An chimed in with a smile, "Yes, that's how professional actors are. Guiyin, you can't delay everyone's progress because of yourself. If word gets out that you're acting like a diva, it won't be good for your reputation or the company's. I advise you not to be so sensitive."

Shi An was quite shocked when he arrived.

The first time he saw Guiyin remove her mask and disguise herself as Chunyue, he recognized her as Su Ran.

At this moment, his mind was in complete turmoil. The original plan had fallen apart into pieces, and he didn't know how to piece it back together.

Before Su Ran could speak, the door was kicked open.

Zhong Jue stood there coldly, glancing indifferently at Shi An before his gaze fell on the man subdued by Su Ran.

He had just received a call from Li Yu saying that Su Ran had been bullied, so he rushed over from outside.

Before entering, I overheard the male villain and Shi An exchanging these words through the door.

As he passed by Shi An, he said, "Whether it's Guiyin's or Yu Ran's reputation, it's none of your business to comment."

Shi An's face was clouded with gloom. He wanted to refute the past, but faced with Zhong Jue's aura that dominated both inside and outside the workplace, he found it difficult to speak for a moment.

Zhong Jue had already pulled the male villain away from Su Ran, looking at him with contempt but not without ruthlessness.

"Indeed, Guiyin is a new actor and doesn't know much."

The male villain wore a smug smile.

However, Zhong Jue changed the subject:

"And what about me? Although I've been retired from acting for a few years, I've still won a few awards. You know my abilities. Do you think I have the ability to tell if you're harassing actresses?"

He straightened the male villain's collar forcefully, pretending not to see his deathly pale face.

"Teacher Zhong..."

"No, I can't accept that. You've been in the industry longer than me, and apart from not winning any awards and not having many good works, the only thing you can match me in terms of time is your experience."

The male villain's face turned even more ashen, but he still argued vehemently, "Teacher Zhong, you know I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I have my pride too. My reputation and professional ethics have always been on full display. She's just a new actress, and I don't need to ruin my future because of her."

"If you can really prove that I harassed her, then produce the evidence!"

After saying that, confidence shone in his eyes.

It was originally a play about a woman being humiliated. So what if he really had some ulterior motives? Isn't this just like the role being played?

Zhong Jue's face was gloomy.

Director Pang was also gloomy.

Guiyin is very talented in acting. From the start of filming until now, unless there are problems with her co-stars, she has always gotten the scene right in one take. Moreover, her emotional performances allow her co-stars to empathize with the characters and complete the filming with high quality.

Moreover, Guiyin is very cooperative with the performance; no matter how many problems the other person makes, she patiently waits for them to fix them.

There must be a reason why Ghost Sound suddenly made a move.

He believed in ghostly voices.

In this situation, it's very difficult to verify any evidence, because this is essentially an insulting farce.

Thinking of this, Director Pang put on a solemn face and began to reprimand.

"I hired you because of your strong professional skills. How many times have you messed up such a simple scene? Do you not want to work here anymore? If you don't want to work here, just say so, and I'll replace you immediately!"

If you can't find the problem in the play, then you can only look for the problem outside the play.

Upon hearing this, the male villain stood up straight. "Recast? Director, are you sure anyone on set would dare to play such a bad character like me? If it weren't for my national recognition, if someone else didn't act well, they might be torn apart by the audience."

"Of course, you're the director. You can replace whoever you want. It's your decision."

“If you hadn’t approached me, I wouldn’t have been willing to play this role.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised their hand.

"Director! I'm willing! I'll act!" Wen Yang ran over dressed as a minor waiter.

The male villain didn't expect someone to put him in such a difficult position so quickly. His face turned ashen as he looked Wen Yang up and down with disdain in his eyes.

"You little brat?"

Wen Yang didn't immediately curse when he heard this. Instead, he said to Director Pang, "Director, if he can't act it, let me try. Give me a chance."

Wen Yang had previously played several leading roles, but his acting skills were always criticized. Later, because of the ghost voice, he went to the film crew to work as an extra. Together with the other extras, he gradually began to understand the situation of some extras and began to have his own insights into the small characters from different social classes.

Compared to the roles he previously obtained through family resources, extras were much easier to find. He worked in all sorts of film crews, playing everything from passing waiters to corpses on the battlefield to ordinary people walking around on the street.

But he won't stay an extra forever; he also wants the audience to see that he has acting skills.

"Just let him come."

In the silence, Su Ran said something.

Zhong Jue glanced at Wen Yang and said, "Director Pang, I also think he's good."

Director Pang stroked his chin. Although he wanted to replace the male villain, he didn't want to so easily choose a pretty face but no substance.

Shi An snorted coldly, "Are you playing house? Casting is such a serious matter, and you just change people like that? Director, aren't you being a bit too frivolous?"

"Change it!" Director Pang said decisively.

Shi An glared angrily, "I'm Yu Ran's person, and I said I won't change, so I won't!"

Zhong Jue glanced at him sideways, "But I'm still Yu Ran's shareholder. If I say change, then change."

Shi An gritted his teeth. He originally thought that his current status and position would be enough for him to do whatever he wanted in this film crew, but he did not expect to suffer setbacks one after another today.

He took a deep breath and told himself that he had only just entered Yu Ran and needed to be patient. Once he took over Yu Ran in a few days, he would drive away Zhong Jue and the others!

"Since the director and Teacher Zhong have both said so, I won't stop you. However, I hope you can find a truly suitable candidate for the role, so that our film won't be affected by such a small role."

Director Pang ignored him and turned directly to Wen Yang, saying, "Why don't you try out for this role?"

Wen Yang nodded and was taken away by staff to change clothes.

The male villain's face turned even uglier upon seeing this.

He's almost forty this year. He used to play leading roles, but as he got older, even with cosmetic surgery, he still couldn't help but look older. He could only play supporting roles in serious dramas or idol dramas. He's quite famous in the entertainment industry, and audiences can still recognize the characters he's played.

However, due to market resource consolidation in recent years, it has been five years since he last acted.

When Director Pang finally came to him, he hesitated for a moment, maintaining his status, and pretended to reluctantly agree.

In reality, he was quite happy. After divorcing his wife, he lost half of his property, and he still had several concubines to support. If he didn't take on acting roles, he would soon be unable to maintain even the most basic dignity.

He couldn't help but feel some resentment towards the ghostly voice.

She wore a bodycon skirt, and her figure was far more alluring than any of his mistresses. Especially when her misty eyes looked at him, it seemed to shatter the last shackle in his heart.

That's why he couldn't resist taking advantage of her during the performance.

"Director Pang, I haven't quit yet," he said through gritted teeth.

"It's not important anymore." Director Pang glanced at him, then turned and returned to his seat.

Wen Yang had already changed his clothes. These past few days he had been observing the other actors and the script, what lines they were supposed to say and what actions they were supposed to take. He had also practiced in private and knew it by heart.

So he started over from the part that had been interrupted.

The male villain was portrayed as a powerful but lustful scoundrel, while Wen Yang's portrayal was that of a handsome, rich, ignorant, naive, and cruel playboy.

He perfectly exemplified the saying that good looks don't necessarily make someone a good person.

The results were surprisingly good.

One pass.

Ultimately, the role was given to Wen Yang.

After things calmed down, Su Ran became a trending topic the next day.

The phrase "ghostly voice acting like a big shot" is prominently displayed at the top of the rankings.
