600 Primary and secondary

In this situation, Tao cen seemed to be getting more and more unhappy. Recently, she had been silent more often than before, making Song Yi particularly confused.

however, the shooting of ‘suspect' isn't going very well. Huo Zhiming is very satisfied with your performance. You have more scenes in the series than Jiang se. I've heard from Huo Zhiming that your performance is very stable.

He was a little at a loss. He pushed the glasses on his face. After he said that, Tao cen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Stable performance?”

She raised her voice as she spoke. in your opinion, you think this is a compliment? ”

The atmosphere became a little stiff. Song Yi licked his lips and didn't dare to make a sound.

In fact, if it wasn't Huo Zhiming but another director who said this, Song Yi probably wouldn't have reacted this way.

Coincidentally, the person who spoke was Huo Zhiming. Everyone in the production crew had experienced this old man's temper before. He would magnify even the smallest of things and pick out ten thousand mistakes. He would always criticize Jiang se when she was filming.

In comparison, although he was not exactly polite to Tao cen, he was undoubtedly much better than he was to Jiang se.

The fact that he was able to say such words proved that he was satisfied with Tao cen's performance.

the reason why Huo Zhiming thinks I'm the best is because he's no longer focusing on me. Instead, he's focusing on Jiang se.

He was particularly strict because he had expectations for Jiang se. He wished that Jiang se could perform better and meet his 100% expectations.

besides, he's asking for Jiang se now. It might sound like he's being mean, but he's actually trying to teach her how to behave! As the saying went, one could only blame others when one loved them deeply. He did not have high expectations of Tao cen, so he naturally did not have to be too harsh on her.

Tao cen's expression turned even uglier when he said this.

She had already noticed that something was wrong with ‘suspect'.

When she first got the role of Shen xuanran, she had gotten the script for the female lead. Both the script and the company's request had stated that Jiang se was here to play a supporting role.

However, after confirming that Jiang se had joined the cast, the first thing Huo Zhiming did that was disadvantageous to Tao cen was to make a huge change to the script. He added a lot of scenes for Jiang se and perfected her character image.

This made the originally stiff ‘suspect' a lot more alive, almost the same as the female lead.

Not only did Jiang SE's performance exceed Tao cen's expectations on set, but she also won Huo Zhiming's favor. His expectations of her grew.

“Why do you say that?”

Song Yi couldn't help but ask.

I'm Shen xuanran. In your opinion, I have more scenes, more lines, and more scenes. Tao cen took a deep breath and Song Yi nodded. that's true.

but Shen xuanran's image is too normal.

The Shen xunran in ” the suspect ” was a righteous person with rich experience in solving cases. She had a keen sense of perception, had the determination to crack down on crime, protect the people, and arrest criminals. However, Tao cen could not find any other adjectives to describe her.

At this point, she vaguely felt that she had fallen into a trap. Shen xuanran's image was too superficial and there was nothing special about it.

Huo Zhiming was very clear about her position. It was fine as long as she behaved appropriately and did not make any mistakes. His focus was on Jiang se, so that her image would be more distinct.

In other words, in the script, in Luo Yin and century Galaxy, as well as the current media and fans, Tao cen was the female lead in ” the suspect ” while Jiang se had joined the production team to play the supporting role.

However, in Huo Zhiming's heart, this position might have been reversed a long time ago. Tao cen's role as Shen xuanran was the same as Su Yi's. She was as cunning as a Fox, smart and cautious, but she was also extremely beautiful.

This was a very dangerous situation. The better Tao cen's acting was, the more unique Jiang SE's character would be.

In layman's terms, the better Tao cen's performance, the more attractive her interaction with Jiang se would be. The more successful her image of Shen xueran as a righteous and persistent person would be, the more prominent the character ‘Su Yi' that Jiang se played would be.

Even if ” criminal suspect ” was the best film that presented the best result, the audience would still clap thunderously after its release. Perhaps, the character that Jiang se played would leave a deeper impression on everyone.

Praises and insults would be heaped on Jiang se. She would be the one to gain both fame and fortune. He might end up becoming Jiang SE's biggest stepping stone.

This scene, which she had initially planned to trample on Jiang se, would eventually become a ladder that would help her rise to the top.

How could Tao cen allow this to happen?

now, I'm even suspecting if Jiang SE's initial role was Shen xuanran's in ‘suspect.' She mumbled to herself, ” even if Jiang se is ignorant, Chaoqun wouldn't have allowed her to choose someone with such a monotonous face.

Moreover, Tao cen had worked with Jiang se for almost two months. He had a deeper understanding of her now.

Although Jiang se was still young, her personality and determination did not seem like that of a girl in her twenties. Instead, she seemed like someone who was more experienced than Tao cen.

suspect ” had been filming for two months. Even Tao cen could tell that something was amiss. Jiang se must have known better. Did she really choose the role of ‘Shen xuanran'? Tao cen did not believe it!

She suspected that she might have fallen into Xia Chaoqun's trap. She began to suspect that the company had set a trap for Jiang se to use her as a stepping stone.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that Xia Chaoqun had circled the role of ‘Shen xuanran' in the original script of ‘suspect' that she had received? then, Luo Yin had used the charity banquet as an excuse to assign Jiang se to play the role of the ‘suspect'?

Unfortunately, she had been blinded by the series of events back then. When the news that Jiang se had replaced Laura as Lannie, the female lead in ” God's salvation ” by Chesare leaked, she was greatly agitated. She felt that her status was threatened, so she desperately tried to snatch the script that Jiang se had her eyes on. She could not wait to agree to the company's offer to take on the role of Shen xuanran in ” the suspect “.

Then, he took the initiative to announce to the media that he would be working with Jiang se. Step by step, he cut off all his escape routes. At this moment, he did not even have any room for regret.

Song Yi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard her explain everything.

When he thought about it carefully, it was true that during the filming process, the character ‘Su Yi' played by Jiang se had a much more distinctive personality than Shen xuanran played by Tao cen.

Song Yi analyzed their roles. Shen xunran appeared early and this character ran through the movie's ending. However, the only impression and description of her was that of an experienced and righteous policewoman.

On the other hand, Su Yi had first appeared on Shen xuanran's list of suspects. Her childhood experience had involved her in Wu Chunhe's ‘death notice' case. Then, it was followed by the hotel death case. Her shadow was everywhere, but the police could not find any substantial evidence of her crime.

This character had a beginning and an end, but it was like a mystery. It could tempt people to analyze it bit by bit. From a certain perspective, her personal charm was far better than Shen xuanran's.

Just as Tao cen had said, her appearance from the beginning to the end seemed to be a clue to Su Yi.

The audience entered Shen xuanran's line of sight and explored Su Yi's life.

“Sometimes, the number of scenes a character has doesn't represent her importance.” Tao cen had a lot of scenes in ” criminal suspect “. She had a lot of lines and a lot of shots. However, in Tao cen's opinion, she could no longer be considered the main character. Huo Zhiming quietly changed the order of the roles.

Tao cen's mood sank when he recalled the media asking about how Jiang se felt as a supporting character in ” suspect ” during the few public events before the filming.

After the movie was released, the audience knew who was the main lead and who was the secondary lead. Her eagerness for quick success had led her into a trap and she had fallen into it herself.

This was the reason why Tao cen had not been happy after he had thought things through.

She was trying her best to act. However, due to the limitations of her character, no matter how well she acted, she would only be able to bring out Jiang SE's true colors. Tao cen could not accept this.

If ” the suspect ” was a big production like ” the lost city ” and the movie stars had much more influence than her, she would be willing to play the supporting role.

However, she had originally held a good hand of cards, but now she had played them like this. How could Tao cen swallow this?

She had worked so hard for so many years. She had worked so hard in the entertainment industry, worked so hard in acting, and got to where she was today. All the suffering she had gone through was not for her to be a supporting role.

“Then what do we do?”

Song Yi asked uneasily. Tao cen's eyes were calm, but they were filled with ruthlessness.

there are some things that can't be changed. she paused for a moment and turned to look at Song Yi. Her smiling eyes were filled with an ambition that wouldn't allow anyone to shake her position.

“You have to learn how to influence others.”

If she performed well in “suspect” and had no intention of lowering her own standards to affect Jiang SE's performance, she could choose to suppress Jiang SE's momentum and make her performance lose its current standards. This would cause Huo Zhiming to lose his expectations of her. After the film was released, the audience's balance would naturally tilt toward the highlights. By then, it would still be clear who was the main lead and who was the secondary lead.

“But it's not easy to do that.”

Song Yi was a little worried. Tao cen's method was theoretically possible. However, Jiang se had managed to reach where she was today and was almost on par with Tao cen. Other than Xia Chaoqun's abilities and methods, she was not to be underestimated either.

At the filming location, Song Yi had also observed her. Her seriousness and diligence weren't inferior to Tao cen's. When she acted with Tao cen, her willpower was firm. She wasn't suppressed by Tao cen's aura just because she had entered the industry for a shorter time.

Such a person would not be easily affected. Moreover, Tao cen had mentioned that Huo Zhiming took very good care of Jiang se. During the performance on set, he had set high standards for her. It would not be easy to suppress Jiang SE's arrogance.

“Of course it's not easy,” If Jiang se could be dealt with so easily, Tao cen would not have been in such a sorry state.

She remembered something from many years ago. At that time, she was still not famous and was just a newcomer. The crew needed to choose a newcomer to play a supporting role. The director picked and chose Tao cen, who was still very young at that time.

After hearing the news, she was so excited that she didn't sleep the whole night. A small role was a big deal to Tao cen that year.

After putting on her makeup, memorizing her lines, and getting ready to go on stage, she was treated as a little sister by the female lead in the crew.

Many of the staff members actually knew that she was the director's new recruit to play a supporting role in the crew. However, in the face of the impatient female lead, no one was willing to speak up for her.

The female star sat on the chair, her hand on the armrest, tapping to the beat impatiently. She crossed her legs and asked her to buy a cup of coffee.

She couldn't go, and she had to go.

She had bought the cup of coffee with her own money and had to travel a long way to get it. In the end, she did not get the role that she had been looking forward to.

The role that she valued so much that she couldn't sleep the entire night was just an insignificant opportunity to others.

Tao cen still remembered the scene when the crew asked her to take off her costume. She had once vowed that there would not be a second time for that kind of humiliation.

After she became famous, the female celebrities who mistook her back then had long been eliminated by the times. She was no longer a newbie who could not sleep for a supporting role. She was used to people looking up at her. However, during the filming of ” the suspect ” this time, Tao cen felt that kind of humiliation again, and it was far worse than it had been in the past.

The film crew rushed to the next working point set up in Linjiang City, where the remaining outdoor scenes would be filmed.

Perhaps it was because of the several unpleasant experiences in the hotel in Wang Zhou, coupled with the fact that the two female stars of the crew were often harassed and followed by fans and reporters, Huo Zhiming was generous for once. Although the hotel the crew stayed at this time was not the best five-star hotel in Linjiang City, it was far more advanced than the one they stayed at in Wang Zhou.

After two days of intense filming, Jiang se had a scene at two in the afternoon which would be shot indoors.

The set had already been set up. Jiang se had rushed to the set early to familiarize herself with the environment. She even had her meal with the crew. This scene was Jiang SE's one-man show. It was similar to the first scene of ” suspect ” where there were no lines. The scene was used to make people think. It was a crucial scene for the entire show.

After Jiang se had her makeup done and changed into her clothes, mo Anqi nudged Jiang se gently while she fed her water.

“Tao cen is here,”

Mo Anqi had seen the crew's schedule for the afternoon. They were all filming Jiang SE's scenes. Tao cen did not have any scenes.

Jiang se turned around and glanced at Tao cen. She noticed Jiang SE's gaze and smiled at her. Then, she sat down on the chair closest to Huo Zhiming.

“I keep feeling that she's up to no good.”

Mo Anqi's lips twitched. She had also seen Tao cen's expression.
