Chapter 37: 36. Consider the next spokesperson

So they were dissatisfied, huh!

But he and the actress were completely oblivious.

That’s the art of speaking!

The assistant quickly gave the photographer a thumbs up.

“Amazing, Brother Zhang, your way with words is simply the best!”

The photographer felt helpless too, taking the bottle of mineral water from the assistant and drank a few sips.

“I heard she’s got an appointment this afternoon with the photographer from Hongyu Jewelry. We only have this morning free, so even if it were our ancestor, we’d have to coax them.”

The assistant couldn’t help but sigh, “This actress is really on fire, isn’t she? That’s Hongyu Jewelry we’re talking about, and they’re getting her for an endorsement?”

“Can’t help it, she’s about to join Director Xie’s movie, her worth has changed from before.”

That’s a movie by Director Xie, even a minor role could set you on fire!

Meanwhile, Mu Ziwei was having her makeup touched up while looking at her manager Wang Zheng.

“Is there any news from the movie crew? Have you found out everything?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve asked around. Director Xie has interviewed more than fifty artists in the past three months. If you can’t get the role, then no one else stands a chance. It’s a sure thing.”

Three days ago, Wang Zheng had already pulled some strings through a friend in the film crew and used money to get ahold of audition clips of several other actors.

He was certain, whether from an acting skill or status perspective, Mu Ziwei was undoubtedly the most suitable among those who auditioned.

Moreover, with the news spreading like wildfire, Director Xie hadn’t said no, had he?

Essentially, it was as good as an implicit confirmation.

Therefore, when he saw online influencers making reasoned analysis posts, he advised not to say anything at all.

If everyone thought that Mu Ziwei was the most suitable to play the female assassin in “Heroes in Troubled Times”, Director Xie would surely choose her for the sake of the film’s future box office performance.

It was pressure of a different sort.

“With tens of millions of fans to your name, you are undoubtedly the hottest Young Leading Actress in the mainland. Which director would foolishly ignore such influence in a movie and choose someone else?”

As soon as Wang Zheng finished speaking, the last bit of worry in Mu Ziwei’s heart vanished without a trace.

If the agent had a sharper eye than hers and Wang Zheng said it was no problem, what was there to worry about?

The company had her back after all!

The makeup artist put down the powder puff, “Sister Wei, we’re done.”

“Mhm.”

Mu Ziwei stood up, and upon seeing this, Wang Zheng and his colleagues immediately stepped out of the shooting area.

However… Photographer Zhang remained still where he stood.

He was holding his mobile phone, seemingly caught off guard by some groundbreaking news, entirely frozen.

Mu Ziwei frowned in displeasure.

“Photographer Zhang, I think you already know we don’t have any time to waste. I made it very clear earlier, you only have half a day.”

Brother Zhang was snapped back to reality by her words and looked toward her under the light with his assistant, Qiqi.

Their eyes carried a hint of pity, and seemed to mix with some… sympathy?

Mu Ziwei’s temper was never the best to begin with, and she was always held in high esteem since her rise to fame. She had never encountered such clueless staff members before.

Just now, when the makeup artist touched up her makeup and accidentally tugged her hair, she had already built up a bellyful of anger.

Seeing that the two were still not moving, Mu Ziwei thought they might disapprove of her earlier scolding of the makeup artist. Her expression darkened in an instant, and she threw her designer handbag towards a chair used for miscellaneous items.

But her aim… was a bit off.

The handbag drew a semi-circle in the air of the studio, and as it looked like it was about to intimately encounter the floor, the assistant holding a bottle of mineral water reflexively reached out with his free hand and caught it.

Relieved, the assistant with the handbag in hand sighed.

Thank goodness he caught it.

Although it looked inconspicuous, that thing was worth several thousand!

This is the latest bag from the company.

If there were even a slight damage, paying for it would cost more than his monthly internship salary!

Just as he was silently rejoicing, Mu Ziwei’s voice, edged with a thin anger, rang out again.

“Photographer Zhang, my time is precious. Since you have no intention of photographing me, find someone else, and make sure to have your company reschedule with my agent!”

Mu Ziwei issued her ultimatum and turned on her high heels, striding towards the rest area.

Her action scared the daylights out of everyone present; aside from those who knew of her temper, the other staff members opened their mouths in surprise.

“What happened, everything was fine just now, wasn’t it?”

“Yeah, why did she suddenly get angry? The photographer was very gracious!”

“Exactly, I was standing by and got entertained by him to the point of losing any frustration.”

“Could it be that the big star doesn’t play by these rules?”

“Oh dear, what should we do? If we don’t finish shooting today, we’ll have to reschedule, and renting the studio for a day costs a lot of money!”

The staff were all worrying for the photographer and desperately giving him meaningful glances.

What are you looking at, hurry up and chase after her!

If you don’t catch up now, the loss will be huge!

Just as Mu Ziwei was about to enter the rest area, a voice called out.

“Wait.”

It was that photographer.

Mu Ziwei turned around, her arms crossed over her chest and her chin slightly raised as she casually looked at him.

Photographer Zhang glanced at the designer handbag in the assistant’s hand and a faint, distant smile crept over his face.

“Since Miss Mu has issues with my photography, I will report that to the company later on.”

Just now he was Teacher Mu, but now he had switched to calling her Miss Mu.

“Additionally… as a spokesperson for our company, I will also truthfully report Miss Mu’s behavior of throwing the handbag earlier. Please don’t take offense.”

Mu Ziwei’s expression froze, and anger reappeared on her face.

At this point, Wang Zheng, as her agent, no longer kept silent and walked up to the photographer with a smirk.

“Photographer Zhang, right? Sorry, but my artist is quite temperamental and a bit impulsive. However… as a photographer, it might be difficult for you to explain today’s incident upon returning, wouldn’t it?”

Wang Zheng, quite the veteran agent, immediately cleared Mu Ziwei’s improper behavior with the explanation of “temperamental.”

Photographer Zhang, also a veteran in the industry, had developed a sharp mind and clearly understood the implication of his words.

What does “temperamental” mean?

It meant if it hadn’t been for something he did to provoke Mu Ziwei earlier, she, being temperamental, wouldn’t have lost her temper and thrown the product she endorsed.

Before he could respond, Wang Zheng followed his intimidation with a sweet offer.

“How about this? You apologize to our Weiwei, and we’ll consider the matter settled, and continue with the shoot as planned, okay?”

Although this endorsement wasn’t as high-end as Hongyu Jewelry, it was still one of the top luxury brands in the mainland.

Moreover, the offer they made was very suitable and fit well with the future image Mu Ziwei was aiming for.

“No need.”

Photographer Zhang’s face was cold, the good temper he once had vanished.

“I think… it’s about time for the company headquarters to consider their choice of spokesperson.”

At this remark, Wang Zheng’s expression turned sour.

What did he mean?

Was it all because of the gesture Mu Ziwei made when she threw the bag?

Was this young photographer making too much of a fuss?
