401 Too Bad
Director Liang nodded. He felt like Yin Jiuling should be a singer rather than an actress.
Song Ci had the same thought. Moreover, it was obvious that Yin Jiuling liked singing more. Her manager should have respected her wishes instead of just thinking about profits.
“You can rest now. We’ll shoot the next scene in two days.”
“Okay. Thank you, Director Liang.”
Yin Jiuling quickly bowed to Director Liang before heading toward her manager. He did not leave today because of her good performance.
Subsequently, Yin Jiuling took her coat and put it on. She also picked up her bag.
The manager ignored her and kept playing games on his phone.
Yin Jiuling dared not rush him. So, she just sat by the side and waited.
After about half an hour, her manager was finally done. He was frowning, probably because he lost his game. After putting away his phone, he said to Yin Jiuling casually, “You did alright today. Director Liang wasn’t as angry as usual.”
Yin Jiuling nodded obediently. Then, she thought of something and said happily, “Brother Lin, Director Liang said that I’m suitable for singing. I think so too. Maybe I should just sing.”
The manager laughed coldly.
“Director Liang is a director who directs TV series. What does he know about singing? I bet he only said that to be nice.”
“Oh…”
“If I was Director Liang, I would have said the same thing. I’d be eager for you to be a singer instead of an eyesore on set.”
“I’m sorry.”
Yin Jiuling apologized out of habit.
“Whatever. I can’t be bothered with you. Just keep improving your acting skills! Why did I sign a contract with a talentless woman like you? Sigh… my luck is so bad.”
After saying that, the manager stood up.
Yin Jiuling stood up as well and quickly followed him.
Song Ci looked from afar. Her face became pale.
If people did not know about their relationship, they would have thought that Yin Jiuling was her manager’s servant!
Yang Haoran said, “There’s nothing we can do about it. She’s not in our company. Besides, that kind of relationship is normal. In the early stages, a manager would have more authority than an artist. After all, the artist lacked fame. Once the artists gain more fame, the position will be reversed. Of course, I’m not saying that Manager Lin’s behavior is acceptable. I hope Yin Jiuling leaves him as soon as possible.”
Song Ci nodded slightly.
Yin Jiuling was scolded every day. Naturally, she would lose her self-esteem.
After Yin Jiuling was out of Song Ci’s sight, the latter began packing her things and walked away.
When Song Ci got into the car, her phone suddenly buzzed.
It was a message from Yin Jiuling:
[ Sister Song Ci, thank you for all your help. Can I practice my next scene with you as well? ]
[ Sure. ]
If Yin Jiuling was talking face-to-face with Song Ci, she would be bowing to her.
Song Ci thought for a moment and sent another message.
[ You’re good at singing and you have an exceptional voice. Have you thought about changing career paths? ]
Yin Jiuling looked at Song Ci’s words.
‘Is she being sincere or is it like what Brother Lin said?’
[ Sister Song Ci, do you really think so? ]
[ Of course. ]
[ I’m really sorry for my bad acting skills ]
Song Ci was confused. Why did Yin Jiuling bring this up again?
‘This woman must be on the verge of a mental breakdown. Her thoughts and words are jumbled up. She won’t stop apologizing either. Did this happen because of her manager?’
Song Ci decided to be direct.
[ Does your manager often ask you to apologize to others? ]
