Huang Yanran went straight to Peng Sicheng's studio with her assistant .
Peng Sicheng was discussing a few shots with his editor when Huang Yanran walked in . He was too immersed in the discussion to notice Huang Yanran standing behind him .
“Director,” Huang Yanran called out .
“Oh, Yanran?” Peng Sicheng said, turning to look at her . “You're out form the hospital?”
“Yeah, I think that I should get back to my job as soon as possible,” Huang Yanran replied .
“I see, here, have a seat,” Peng Sicheng said, pointing to a chair .
Huang Yanran looked at the dirty plastic chair and frowned . Her assistant quickly took out a piece of cloth and a bottle of sterilizer . After a few wipes on the chair, she signaled Huang Yanran that it was clean .
Peng Sicheng saw everything and rolled his eyes .
He'd only learned that Huang Yanran had mysophobia after she'd joined the set . She would always have everything sterilized before she used it: doors, chairs, cups, anything that she came across .
She would always ask for doubles when the scene might dirty her or when it required hard labor .
To call her mysophobic was just a much more subtle way to define her; to put it simply, she was an unreasonable person .
Peng Sicheng would rather choose people like Jing Xi to be his lead actress if he had the choice . He would never submit to using people like Huang Yanran .
Yet in reality, he did not have the power to decide who would be playing the main actress . The decision was made by their investors, and they had chosen Huang Yanran to play the role .
“How is your wrist?” Peng Sicheng asked once Huang Yanran had sat down .
“Thank you for your concerns,” Huang Yanran said, raising her left hand . “It's almost healed . ”
“That means it's still not fully healed yet . ” Peng Sicheng rubbed his chin . “This type of injury should take around 100 days to heal, and it has just been a few days since you suffered this injury, hasn't it? Didn't I tell you to take it slow and come back after you're fully healed?”
“I'm fine, director . Really,” Huang Yanran quickly explained . “I'm ready to get back to my work . ”
The truth was that Huang Yanran had intentionally twisted her wrist when she was coming down from the wire work . She was trying to coerce the crew into raising her pay .
She had guessed that Peng Sicheng wouldn't be able to find another actress to replace her, which made her believe she could ask for a higher price .
Peng Sicheng had seen many celebrities that were the same as Huang Yanran . He did not comply to her demands and told her that he'd wait for her to heal .
All of this led to Peng Sicheng asking Xu Xiyan to play the stunt double part first .
Yet he'd never thought that the media would misunderstand, thinking that Peng Sicheng had replaced Huang Yanran, giving her role to the newcomer, Jing Xi .
It was normal for Huang Yanran to believe the scandals she saw on the news at home .
She quickly rushed back to the set to take back her role, to prevent her job from being taken away by a stunt double without fame .
“There's no need to rush,” Peng Sicheng said . “I'll contact you once we finish with everything we've planned for the next few days . ”
Peng Sicheng took the initiative and showed her who the boss was .
He was the director . If he wanted her there, then she'd have to show up . If he wanted her to stay at home, she had no authority to decline .
“Director…” Huang Yanran appeared puzzled .
She wanted to say something, but Peng Sicheng turned his back on her and continued his discussion with the editor .
There was no way that Huang Yanran, who always stood high and mighty, would put up with the attitude that Peng Sicheng was showing her .
