Chapter 55: It’s Her Time to Counterattack
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The day after signing the rental contract, Lu Zhen moved over. She didn’t have many things herself, so she finished moving after a trip to the moving company.
Coach Liang also gave her a business card on WeChat and told her, “This is an all-rounder with the best skills in our team. If you don’t understand anything, feel free to ask him. If he has offended you in any way, feel free to tell me. I’ll go back and teach him a lesson.”
The business card looked like a work number. It used a real person’s avatar and its ID was “Ghost.”
Lu Zhen did not look at the photo on the profile picture carefully. After adding the other party, she went to the set.
She still had a few scenes this week. After filming, she basically had no more scenes. The next week, the production team would go to the Northern Desert to film some outdoor scenes. When they returned, it would be the wrap banquet.
They were filming her scenes this morning and Lu Rou’s scenes in the afternoon. Lu Zhen had more scenes and there were still a few martial arts scenes.
On the way to the set, Lu Zhen looked at Weibo and saw Lu Rou posting— “It turns out that a crush can be more than just one person.”
The accompanying photo on Weibo was a photo of her and the male lead. There were nine photos in a row, and they were all photos of the two of them. The two of them made faces at the camera or laughed loudly. They seemed to have a good relationship. Coupled with the post that hinted at an extremely obvious meaning, Lu Zhen had already known Lu Rou’s plan.
As expected, Lu Rou’s Weibo was filled with her fans’ enthusiastic flattery— “Baby, you’re so beautiful! You’re so compatible with the Ninth Prince!”
“Baby and the Ninth Prince are clearly more compatible. What a pity. I don’t want to see a certain female lead with the Ninth Prince!”
“I think Rourou should be the female lead. She’s clearly much better-looking than a certain someone. The Ninth Prince clearly likes Rou Rou more!”
“Pure passerby, Lu Rou is really cute!”
Strictly speaking, Lu Rou was actually not as good-looking as Lu Zhen. She could only be considered a little beauty in the entertainment industry, but Lu Zhen was the top beauty that all female celebrities in the entertainment industry regarded as their strongest competitor. There was no comparison.
However, Lu Rou was not stupid. She knew how to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses. She specially studied all kinds of cute and pure makeup and created an innocent and adorable image every day. She even hired a professional photo editing team to edit her photos so that even her mother could not recognize her.
Lu Rou’s fans were also very scheming. When they submitted to various marketing accounts, the photos they posted were all Lu Rou’s refined photos and ugly photos that deliberately made Lu Zhen ugly. This way, netizens would be easily led astray.
Lu Zhen smiled mockingly, feeling that Lu Rou was simply a clown.
“Xiaoxiao, lend me your ring,” Lu Zhen suddenly said.
Stunned, Xiaoxiao hurriedly took off the ring on her finger. Xiaoxiao was wearing a new ring that the brand had given Lu Zhen, but Lu Zhen didn’t like to wear jewelry in private, so she gave it to Xiaoxiao.
Lu Zhen put the ring on her finger and took a photo. She posted it on her Moments with the caption: Someone gave it to me. I like it very much.
Lu Zhen set her WeChat Moments to be only visible to Lu Rou and returned the ring to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao asked Lu Zhen curiously, “Sister Zhenzhen, what are you doing?”
Lu Zhen smiled casually. “Of course it’s to agitate Lu Rou.”
Xiaoxiao frowned worriedly. “She’s been stepping on you to climb up recently. Recently, she’s already gained millions of fans by belittling you. The company team isn’t helping you either. Sister Zhenzhen, why are you still provoking her at this time?”
“No one knows Lu Rou better than me. She’s petty and vicious, but she doesn’t have a brain. I’ve ignored her recently, so she’s probably as smug as a monkey now. If I provoke her at this time, how angry do you think she will be? When she’s angry, her brain will be even worse.”
Lu Zhen smiled, a dangerous and charming smile. Who said that she was the one being bullied? She was just a hunter hiding in the dark, waiting for the best moment to hunt.
Now, it was her turn to fight back.
Not long after, Lu Zhen arrived at the set.
The event location had already been set up. The director had found a substitute actor in advance to test the light. After Lu Zhen arrived, she put on her makeup and changed her clothes before starting filming.
Lu Zhen walked to the designated spot and brushed past her stunt double.
As the name implies, light substitutes were light substitutes. Some scenes were filmed from high up in the sky. Adjusting the position of the camera was very time-consuming. The main leads did not have so much time to wait motionlessly for adjustments, so they would let the substitute replace the main lead and experiment with the most suitable and perfect light and angle in advance..
