Cheng Zhen helplessly watched her friend’s retreating back. “He’s the biggest investor on the production team, but he realizes he’s a small fish in a big pond.

A significant portion of the production budget came from the Golden Willow Capital that backs Zheng Ying. Su Li must make every effort to keep Zheng Ying on board.

“If only we were rich enough! We could find whoever we want, fund whatever we want! Fire whoever we want!” Cheng Zhen said jokingly.

Her family had some power, but they did not support her involvement in the entertainment industry. They would only give her basic protection, nothing more.

“I wonder.” Luo Ying flashed an enigmatic grin.

If Su Li could not solve Zheng Ying’s problem, she did not mind taking over the investment of the production team.

Scenes shot by the crew were not done so in accordance with the story. Su Li planned to shoot the wirework first. Because it was hard to find a venue for a wire, they would have to wait for the next few days.

Therefore, Luo Ying and the others had started to familiarize themselves with the equipment that afternoon.

It was not the first time Luo Ying had worked with wires. In her previous world, she had shot countless fighting scenes without any problems. She had even produced many iconic action scenes.

However, something felt wrong this time. She skillfully put on the wire equipment and rose into the air. Her heart could not help but race.

What was going on? Luo Ying was a little puzzled.

Her mind was clearly at ease. She felt nothing as she stared at the ground, but her body was shaking with anxiety.

“Yingying, can you do it?” Cheng Zhen was a little worried as she watched from below. Why was Luo Ying’s hand shaking?

As the wire rose higher and higher, Luo Ying’s hands and legs could not help but tremble slightly. She tried to control her trembling, but when she exerted force, it became even more serious.

Luo Ying had no choice but to ask to be put down.

“What’s wrong? Your hands are so cold.” Cheng Zhen walked to Luo Ying’s side and held her hand worriedly. “Are you afraid of heights?”

“I think so.” Luo Ying opened her mouth to speak and realized that even her voice was trembling. This was the natural reaction of her body to fear.

However, she was very sure that she was not afraid of heights. It may be an Instinctive reaction or rms Doay.

Back then, when the original Luo Ying jumped off the roof, it did not seem to be a big deal, but this body was most probably traumatized.

Luo Ying was at a loss for words. This was going to be a little troublesome. Many scenes in this drama required wire hanging, but she wouldn’t be able to shoot them.

She gave it a few more goes, but each time she got a little farther up, her body began to tremble.

“Sister Ying, take a rest first.” Wang Yu persuaded her.

Luo Ying nodded, took the water from Wang Yu, and walked to the lounge.

However, just as she approached the lounge, she heard a fierce argument coming from inside.

“Director Su, what is the meaning of this? Back then, you said that the female lead had to be carefully selected, and in the end, you chose such a person?” The first thing she heard was Zheng Ying’s sharp voice.

“Heh, calling her a vase is already flattering her. What has she been acting for? Not only was it a waste of resources, but it was also ruining the audience’s eyes. Is Luo Ying even worthy of having Sister Zheng Ying act with her?” It seemed that some other male actors were trying to cater to her.

Su Li tried his best to explain. “The female lead role is a perfect fit for her.

Besides, Luo Ying’s acting in Dancing Shoes and Summer speaks for itself.”

“You call that an improvement? Even a pig would be able to act better than her!” Zheng Ying said disdainfully.

“That’s right. She can’t even do basic wire-work. Is she here to waste our time?” Another female voice sounded.

“Director Su, I’ll say this right now. You can have me, or you can have her. If you’re keeping her, I’m out!” Zheng Ying said firmly, “Of course, you should also know that if I leave, Golden Willow Capital’s investment will naturally be withdrawn. Whether or not your drama can continue to be filmed depends on your choice.”

“Bam! ” Luo Ying pushed open the lounge door.

She smiled and asked, “Everyone is talking about me. Why didn’t you call me?’”‘

Everyone in the room was shocked by her sudden opening of the door and instantly fell silent.

“Director Su, it’s your call.” Zheng Ying was the first to react. She smiled coldly.

“This…” Su Li was stunned. What was he going to say?

“It’s okay. I’ll say it on behalf of Director Su.” Luo Ying’s smile did not change..

“A bunch of old wash-outs picking on a director who is new to the scene?”
