Chapter 438 - I Won't Hesitate To Replace You.
After the shoot wrapped up and all the actors went to their vanity rooms to change out of their outfits, Xu Lan stopped Director Han and told him about everything that happened before the photoshoot.
From Yuan Lei's coming two hours late to the shoot without informing anyone about it and arguing over the vanity room, fussing over costumes to makeup artists, she did not leave anything behind.
She didn't leave anything out to save her so-called image and revealed why Xie Ming did her makeup herself. And it was all because of Xie Ming's patience that they were able to complete the shoot successfully.
Director Han frowned upon hearing everything. He knows that Yuan Lei does not have a good personality but he especially hates those people who interfere in his work and try to lag behind the whole crew with their tantrums.
" Where is Yuan Lei?" He asked as his expressions turned icy cold.
He cannot let her go away like this. He needs to give her a final warning because it seems that she has forgotten what he has said to her at the script reading.
" She is in her vanity room to get her makeup removed." Xu Lan said in a low voice. She is very well aware of Director Han's temper.
.
That's why she didn't say anything else and told him where they would find Yuan Lei.
Without waiting for anything he strode towards their vanity room as Xu Lan showed him the way.
…..
In the vanity room, Yuan Lei was shocked to see Director Han coming into the room so suddenly.
" Director Han, what brings you here?" She asked him as she stood up from her chair with a polite smile on her face.
Xie Ming, who had just put her hairpin in her purse, was surprised as well seeing him entering the room abruptly.
She stood there trying to read the mood without saying anything.
From Xu Lan and Director Han's expressions, it was clear that they were not in a good mood at the moment.
" Yuan Lei, tell me, why did you come two hours late for the costume fitting? Didn't Xu Lan inform your manager that you should be on time for the costume fitting." Director Han started yelling without waiting for anything and started shouting at Yuan Lei.
Yuan Lei was caught off guard at his sudden outburst. She frowned as she looked around seeing that people started to gather outside her room to see what's going on here.
"Because of you, Ms.Cai Bao's assistant had to stay behind to check out for you. You not only increased others' workload but also created problems for everyone." He folded his hands and interrogated her with his arms folded in front of his chest.
Xu Lan hurriedly passed him a chair for him to sit down. He sat there while glaring at Yuan Lei expecting an answer from her.
Yuan Lei pursed her lips as she glared at Xu Lan who had told everything to Mr. Han.
" Director Han, I had a schedule in the morning. And I got late because the event ended later than I expected." Yuan Lei lied without even blinking her eyes.
She didn't have any events in the morning. She just thought that it would be fine if she went late.
She needed to catch up on her sleep because last night she was with her 'boyfriend' and didn't get to sleep the whole night because he didn't let her do so.
She fell asleep at the dawn and was too tired to get up. That's why she didn't come on time.
Director Han pursed his lips as he glared at her. He took a deep breath and said, " You should have informed Xu Lan if you got something important to do. You not only came late, but didn't even inform us. If you had informed us beforehand, then we would have found some other alternative. But you were out of contact in those two hours."
Director Han felt his blood pressure rising hearing her baseless excuses.
" Yuan Lei, I don't like people who take their work casually. I have heard everything from Xu Lan. You were not only late, but you were causing problems over the vanity room and the makeup artist. "
" Is this really necessary? It was all because of Xie Ming's patience that everything went smoothly. If Xie Ming wouldn't have got ready herself, we would have gotten so late for the shoot. All the schedules would have been messed up. "
Director Han didn't care about Yuan Lei's so called reputation and berated her in front of everyone. Because he knows, Yuan Lei is no saint either.
These kinds of people should be controlled, otherwise she will think of the set as her playground.
Yuan Lei gritted her teeth hearing his words.
" Director Han, I know I was late, but I had my reasons. However, I was not wrong for saying out loud about the mistreatment over the vanity room and makeup artist. I am the female lead yet I have to share my vanity with the mere second lead and not only that, she was getting her makeup first. "
" According to tradition, it should be me who gets ready first. How can she get her makeup done first? Aren't all of you being too biased towards her? I don't understand why everyone is favoring her so much? " Yuan Lei couldn't take anymore and scoffed after saying her words.
Director Han's expressions darkened hearing her words. He sneered and said," Yuan Lei, don't think that you deserved to get this role. You're the female lead not because you deserved it. And you know that."
" However, if you have got this opportunity, shouldn't you be thankful and prove yourself? But all you are doing is creating trouble for everyone. "
" You're saying why everyone is favoring Xie Ming despite a newbie right? Let me tell you, she is a newbie, but she is good at her work despite it being her very first project. She is polite to everyone, including the staff and crew members. "
" Unlike you who has used violence against your own assistant. Yuan Lei, I don't care about the so called traditions or working environment you are talking about, but if you're working in my movie, you will be respected if you respect others as well. "
" I don't give a damn of your being the female lead or whatever. If you don't work hard and keep your attitude in check, I will not hesitate to replace you. This was your last warning. I don't want another complaint about you. "
Director Han didn't hesitate to threaten her about her role because he knows if he didn't say this aloud, Yuan Lei will definitely create trouble for him.
He is now regretting his decision of signing her just for the funding.
