Free Web NovelChapter 1658: Chapter 1659: Straight-Talker
Back then, many outsiders thought Jin Hua’s words were quite reasonable and believed she sounded professional. After all, many of her roles had their unique traits and were quite popular. They thought she should be the senior with her own experience and that directors should respect actors’ personal styles.
After arguing for a while, both of them did become quite famous.
Ultimately, it all ended without resolution, and the film wasn’t completed.
Everyone came to know of her sharpness and persistence.
The attitudes of netizens were divided. Some thought she was too self-centered, too much of a diva, practically a tyrant on set.
Others felt she was experienced, outspoken, and brave enough to express her feelings, being quite sharp.
But to those in the crew team, her acting was commendable, though she was quite difficult to deal with.
However, for the sake of the entire production, everyone had to compromise a bit.
When she came in, her assistant was talking to her, "Sister Jin Hua, look, is that Ye Ning over there, definitely here to chase after her."
"Oh, I almost forgot, our production has a superstar!"
She walked in with a smile and greeted Ye Ning, "I believe this is our first time collaborating."
Ye Ning smiled, "Hello, Teacher Jin Hua. Yes, it’s our first time."
"Oh indeed, I haven’t filmed for a long time. I didn’t take any roles for a while. They gave me a script, and after reading it, I thought, what is this? Last time, they gave me a script, wanted me to play some Fairy’s mother. I asked, is it the Queen Mother? They said no, it’s a fantasy. I asked what kind of fantasy, and they said it’s adapted from a novel, depicting a world of celestial cultivation. They said this world is fantasy, not real, no dynasty, no Queen Mother, and people are called Immortals. Queen Mother sounds so outdated. Oh, I was so annoyed. I said what is this, even if it’s a fantasy. That was the decent one; there were others about CEOs, traveling with assistants and flying in private jets. I said it’s so unrealistic, I’m not taking it. They criticized me, said look at others, whoever they are, starring in such drama, instantly became popular, turned into the nation’s husband. It shows that young people like it now. Oh, these stars that young people like now are really, with poker-face all the time, as long as they can speak the lines, it’s enough?"
After saying all that, she smiled politely again, "Of course, I wasn’t referring to you."
Ye Ning curled her lips.
The assistant by the side twitched her lips.
Claiming not to talk about her, yet specifically said so much.
She really is a difficult senior.
Ye Ning said, "You’re right. This collaboration, I’ll have to learn a lot from you."
"Ha, no, no, I think we should also learn from you all. You being so popular must have your reasons. Look, now I take a role and get paid so little, compared to you, the difference isn’t a small gap."
She smiled broadly, yet seemed to suggest Ye Ning and the likes aren’t worth that much.
Ye Ning said, "You’re being too modest, I don’t focus that much on pay."
Jin Hua continued to smile with such an unrestrained look, her expression plainly showing disdain.
She patted Ye Ning’s shoulder, "Alright, I’m a straightforward person, speak quite directly, don’t mind too much."
Looking at the person departing, the assistant stuck out her tongue, "She’s really straightforward." freewebnovel.cσ๓
Ye Ning said, "Hmm, some people will never understand the difference between being straightforward and having low emotional intelligence."
(That’s all for today, muah muah, sending greetings all the way from Phuket Island)
