Chapter 357 The Decline of a Big Star
One day, two days, three days...
Three days passed quickly.
Xiao Wushuang never received any contact from the famous director and investors.
She's going crazy.
Why did her circumstances change so drastically overnight...?
Where exactly does the problem originate?
"Sister Wushuang..." The assistant walked into her dressing room.
"How is it? Is there good news?" Xiao Wushuang immediately perked up.
The assistant sighed, making her expression stiffen.
"Sister Wushuang, take a look at today's headlines..."
Xiao Wushuang frowned and quickly opened the news on her phone.
Eight well-known companies jointly issued a statement announcing the termination of their cooperation with actress Xiao Wushuang and that they will seek other spokespeople!
"A top-tier actress has alleged triad connections and is suspected of being the mistress of a gangster boss..."
"With major production teams terminating their contracts, Xiao Wushuang may find herself without any acting opportunities."
……
Several headlines in a row were about Xiao Wushuang.
Xiao Wushuang's face was extremely ugly; he was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Besides the film's investors, even the brands she endorses have terminated their contracts with her.
She was still completely confused and didn't understand what had happened.
Rumors are rampant online, with all sorts of speculations and claims about her.
"Damn it! Why is this happening?" Xiao Wushuang roared in despair.
She made several phone calls to ask people to investigate what was going on, but to no avail.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Wushuang's expression was uncertain.
The scene from that day flashed through my mind.
Xiao Chen once said that her path to becoming a big star had come to an end.
She even said that someone named Tang You would replace her...
"Hmph, what an arrogant fool! Who does he think he is?" Xiao Wushuang sneered.
She doesn't believe it.
The days passed by.
Xiao Wushuang went from feigning composure at the beginning to feeling anxious later on.
Even the news spreading rumors about her has decreased online...
She couldn't stand losing attention.
So Xiao Wushuang began to take the initiative.
"Director Li, this is Xiao Wushuang. Didn't you say you wanted to cast me in a movie? Now... what? You've found the female lead?"
"Mr. Wang, haven't you always wanted to work with me? I'm available now. What? You're not interested in making movies anymore?"
"Producer Zhou..."
……
After making several phone calls, Xiao Wushuang was so angry that her face turned pale.
Those who were once polite and even obsequious to her are now extremely indifferent.
Nobody wanted to work with her...
Even producers she used to look down on now dare to hang up on her directly.
Xiao Wushuang was almost going crazy.
Just a few days ago, she was a hot celebrity, with countless people begging and fawning over her.
But only a few days have passed, and now everyone is ignoring him...
As a top-tier actor, how come he has no roles to play?
"Sister Wushuang, how about we try out some non-lead roles first?" the assistant suggested.
"Bullshit!" Xiao Wushuang immediately glared. "Someone of my stature would never need to lower myself to be a supporting character for someone else. What a joke!"
The assistant no longer dared to speak.
Several more days have passed...
Xiao Wushuang finally couldn't resist and called those directors again, wanting a role as the second or third female lead.
"I'm sorry, we already have someone in mind."
"Miss Xiao, you are not suitable."
Still rejected.
Xiao Wushuang angrily smashed expensive cosmetics in the dressing room.
She even offered to act for free, but the directors refused.
Xiao Wushuang is on the verge of depression.
"Sister Wushuang, I heard that a film crew is holding open auditions for the female lead. Why don't you give it a try?" the assistant suggested again.
That was a production team preparing to film a highly popular adaptation of a fantasy drama, a show that naturally attracts huge audiences.
Xiao Wushuang immediately rallied her spirits.
She put on exquisite makeup and rushed to the audition venue in silver high heels.
……
Beijing Film and Television City.
"Brother Xiao Chen, I'm nervous..."
Tang You twisted the hem of her clothes with her small hands, feeling uneasy.
At this moment, Xiao Chen and Lin Youyou accompanied her to a film set. Looking at the long queue, Tang You felt insecure.
Among those queuing ahead of them were rising stars with immense popularity, as well as seasoned veteran actors with a wealth of experience...
There wasn't a single one as unknown as her.
Since leaving the cast of "The Legend of Concubine Chen", Tang You has been depressed.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen and Lin Youyou kept encouraging her, so she didn't become too depressed.
The day before yesterday, Xiao Chen suddenly said that he had submitted her resume to a certain film crew.
Upon hearing the name of the production team, Tang You became excited, but when she heard that Xiao Chen had voted for her in the lead role, she was completely stunned.
How could someone like her, who only plays minor roles, dare to dream of such things?
I thought it was like throwing a stone into the sea, and there would be no response at all.
Today, Xiao Chen told her, "It's over..."
Tang You was incredulous, thinking she had misheard.
I was so surprised and overjoyed when I saw the email that I almost fainted.
The production team notified her to audition.
After being brought to the film set by Lin Youyou and Xiao Chen, she became stage-frightened again.
To date, the best role she has ever played has only had a few lines.
How can they compare to those famous or professionally trained actors?
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a try. What if you get selected?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
“Yes, there’s hope if you try, Tang You. You have to try to know,” Lin Youyou also advised.
Although she also felt that Tang You's chances were slim.
But Xiao Chen has already gone to such lengths, how could he back down now?
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Tang You cheered herself up and went to join the queue.
Not long after, some commotion broke out in the vicinity.
"Xiao Wushuang is here too!" someone shouted.
The famous actress Xiao Wushuang appeared on set and walked straight over.
She's still popular, and her appearances always attract attention.
Xiao Wushuang's face darkened instantly when he spotted Xiao Chen and Tang You at the back of the group.
They're like a persistent ghost!
"Where does this extra get the confidence and courage to audition for the lead role in a popular drama?" Xiao Wushuang said sarcastically.
"This isn't just taking a chance; it's utter arrogance and a complete lack of self-awareness!"
Tang You looked embarrassed and didn't dare to say a word.
Xiao Chen's face darkened.
"Xiao Chen, does this little girl even deserve to replace me? Are you out of your mind?" She looked at Xiao Chen with disdain.
