Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn-Chapter 59 - : 059 It’s no use looking for me
Chapter 59: 059 It’s no use looking for me
In the afternoon, all the filming was inside the studio, and Shi Lan had just finished with makeup when she already felt drenched in sweat.
Chen Beini had been tormented by Shi Lan in the morning, and now, haunted by the psychological shadow of the experience, and given that Director Tang was a perfectionist, Chen Beini could only endure repeated “whipping” in her scenes.
Sun Ling waited alongside Shi Lan for their scenes, holding a small fan for her and noticing Chen Beini’s lack of spirit from the torment, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of satisfaction and even wanted to laugh.
She finally understood what Shi Lan had meant when she said her temper was terrible, but her ability was solid.
“An Lan, do you want some water? Mr. Yan’s assistant brought over some ice and fruit to cool off,” Sun Ling offered.
Shi Lan shook her head, feeling irritated by the heat.
At that moment, Gu Chengyu, who had been absent for the whole day, arrived at the set with loads of coffee and snacks, looking nothing like the arrogant superstar he had been before.
Gu Chengyu distributed the drinks to the crew members and had his assistant deliver one to Shi Lan. Shi Lan, without even glancing at it, said directly, “How am I worthy of drinking a big star’s coffee? Take it back.”
Others who were not giving face included Director Tang, but these two individuals were precisely the ones deciding whether Gu Chengyu could return to the production or not.
With a bashful manner, Gu Chengyu placed the coffees on their seats and then started playing the role of a humble assistant running errands.
Chen Beini, who was already upset from being schooled by Shi Lan, saw her boyfriend groveling and immediately pulled Gu Chengyu aside, “Otherwise, let’s both quit the acting. Director Tang and that An Lan are too bullying.”
Unexpectedly, Gu Chengyu pushed Chen Beini away and asked, “Do you realize your acting skills are not up to par, and you are embarrassing yourself in front of An Lan?”
Chen Beini’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Gu Chengyu.
“Beini, stop being capricious. The agency can make you a star and they can also put you on ice. You can’t overpower them, don’t you understand? This night, I’ve experienced what I never want to repeat—I don’t want to be replaced, I don’t want my hard-earned career to vanish into thin air. So if An Lan wants an apology, I will apologize, if Director Tang wants sincerity, I will give it fully. Just take care of yourself,” Gu Chengyu said sternly.

In fact, Gu Chengyu’s mental fortitude was much weaker than Shi Lan had imagined.
She thought he could hold out for a few more days.
How could she not teach a lesson to such an inflated popular artist?
If the agency were smart, they would administer a more potent lesson to Gu Chengyu. Unexpectedly, right after filming a couple of scenes that afternoon, the production’s more potent lesson arrived.
The “new leading man” found by Gu Chengyu’s company had been brought in for a makeup test, and Director Tang welcomed him with a smile.
At this moment, Shi Lan saw that Gu Chengyu’s face had turned completely pale.
The female boss gave a faint smile, shifted her gaze back to her own script, and focused on preparing for the next scene. Then, Gu Chengyu awkwardly approached, came up to Shi Lan, and offered her the coffee on the table: “An Lan, I’m sorry. For everything that’s happened before, I hope you can forgive me. But I really can’t afford to lose this role.”
Shi Lan looked up, pushed away the coffee Gu Chengyu presented, and said, “Your loss of this role isn’t because of me, but because you aren’t professional enough, your acting isn’t strong enough, and your abilities don’t match your temper. You indeed have a lot of fans, and you’re very popular, but you’re just a star, not an actor. You lack not only a reverence for actors and their roles but also respect for your counterparts. Therefore, it’s pointless to come to me.”
After saying this, Shi Lan turned to Sun Ling and stretched out her hand: “The fruit.”
Sun Ling, feeling invigorated by the conversation, quickly passed the fruit: “I’ll feed you. Mr. Yan’s assistant said these are imported and really sweet.”
“Mhm,” acknowledged Shi Lan, glancing again at Gu Chengyu and obediently opening her mouth.
