Julia had just hung up the phone with Nathan. It was not long before she received a call from Annie.
She was still thinking about how to tell Annie the truth. Hearing her ask about it, she couldn’t help but sigh.
“They have decided. The heroine of Strategies for Cannon Fodder is not you.”
“What?”
Annie was shocked and her face changed drastically.
No wonder she was surprised. After all, she was a popular top-line artist. Even if she had a scandal, she still had many fans, so the viewing rate must be good with her.
Now she even demeaned herself to play in the unknown web series. It was okay if the director wanted to strike a pose to impress her and cut down her pay.
But he really didn’t let her play the role!
Who the hell had gotten the chance, she wondered.
Annie was so angry. Julia continued, “In fact, it’s not a big deal. It’s just a web series. It’s fine even if we don’t get it. We can try other scripts.”
“It’s easy for you to say that!” Annie was furious, “Now you also know what is going on! The director of those big-budget dramas won’t choose me. Those small-budget dramas are all about the fight between wife and mother, or about some outdated stories. Do you want me to play in these kinds of dramas? What do you want my fans to think of me in the future?”
Annie had always kept the image of a pure and elegant goddess. She usually took the leading rold in high-quality and big-budget dramas.
If she really demeaned herself to play in those ridiculous boring dramas, it would be very difficult for her to take any leading roles again.
Julia also knew that what she said was reasonable. In fact, no one wanted to miss such a good script, but they had no choice.
“So, what do you think we should do now?”
Annie took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice, “Who is it? The leading role?”
“I don’t know. Nathan refused to tell me. It seems that Vicente chose that woman himself.”
“No matter who it is, go and figure it out.”
Julia fell silent for a moment.
In the end, she agreed, “Okay. I’ll tell you when I find out.”
After hanging up the phone, Annie angrily smashed everything in the room.
Damn it!
Damned snobbish!
Anyone could oppose her now!
Only when she finished smashing everything did she feel that the anger in her heart had been vented.
Julia soon found out who the heroine chosen by Vicente was. After knowing the truth, she was in great shock and felt it unbelievable.
Zoe?
How could it be her?
Wasn’t she working as a PR? Why had she been an actress?
When Julia knew Annie couldn’t play the heroine this time, she was still calm, but after she knew the heroine was Zoe, she couldn’t
calm herself down anymore.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
She immediately called Annie.
After Annie learned that the person who would play the heroine was Zoe, she couldn’t believe it at all.
Zoe had never acted at all. Why had she chosen to play in this drama?
Was Vicente blind?
He would rather give the newcomer a chance than choose her.
Anger and frustration made Annie almost go crazy.
She smashed many more things in the house, and only when Helen heard the noise and came in did she stop.
“Annie, what are you doing? Why did you smash everything?”
Annie said angrily, “That bitch Zoe! She had
tried to trip me up before. I wouldn’t make a fuss about the role in Chase the Wind with her. But she did it again now! I have prepared for this drama for a long time, but now the director has chosen her, not me! Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”
Helen frowned, “How could this happen? Julia said that you can get the role, right?”
“Fuck! Someone else has been chosen, and now she told me! I think Julia is good for nothing. She could do nothing at critical moments.”
“Annie, don’t say that.” Helen did her best to soothe her, “Zoe has never acted before. What can she do? The reason why she can get the role is probably because she used other means!”
“Heh! She should know better than to fight with you in this matter. Even if she can play the heroine, she will be scolded if she couldn’t perform well. Then she would be the target of public censure!”
After hearing Helen’s words, Annie realized what was going on.
It seemed to be reasonable.
According to common practice, no one would choose a new actress and refused a famous actress who enjoyed great popularity, just like her.
Zoe must have made some tricks!
Yes, that’s it!
Thinking of this, a ghost of maliciousness flashed across Annie’s eyes.
‘Heh! Zoe, do you want to be famous?’
‘Okay, then I’ll let you be really famous!’
As she was thinking about that, Helen suddenly said, “By the way, isn’t there a supporting role in this drama? I have read the script before. That role is also quite good. Since you cannot play the heroine, then you can try to get this role!”
Annie immediately got displeased.
“Are you crazy! You want me to take the supporting role when Zoe plays the heroine?”
Helen shook her head, “You can’t think like that. People all think you are a selfish and malicious woman who can even hurt your sister to achieve your goal.”
“But if you play the supporting role, while Zoe plays the leading role, we can tell the public that Zoe wants to be an actress, and you, her sister, is willing to demean yourself to let her be the heroine.”
“At that time, people will think you are so sweet, and you can correct your mistakes. What’s more, your acting is better than Zoe’s. But you can only play the supporting role in this drama. Guess what those people would say?”
Annie’s eyes glistened.
“They will definitely think that Zoe must have made tricks to get the role!”
“Yes, that’s right. Then we can aggravate the complicated situation! She’ll just be condemned by posterity!”
After hearing Helen’s words, Annie suddenly became excited.
It seemed she had already seen how Zoe was hated by everyone.
“Mom, you’re smart enough to think about this. Then I’ll have Julia call Nathan now for the supporting role?”
“Yeah, don’t worry. I’ve checked it carefully.
Although it’s just a supporting role, its part is not much worse than the leading role. You can just
play it as a double-heroine drama.”
“Well, I understand.”
After making the decision, Annie immediately called Julia.
Learning that she was going to strive for the supporting role, Julia was very surprised.
After all, she knew very well what kind of person Annie was. She would never let herself suffer wrong for her comeback.
Let alone taking the supporting role while Zoe took the leading.
