Chapter 73: Sudden Change
Chapter 73: A Sudden Turn of Events
Huang Wankai stood on the set with his arms hanging by his sides, seething inwardly. He couldn’t understand—he had clearly performed without issue, so why wouldn’t the director approve the take?
Before joining the crew of *Silent Battle*, Huang Wankai had worked on several TV dramas and films. Wherever he went, weren’t those directors and producers always showering him with praise? No one had ever questioned his acting skills, and he’d never been forced to NG this many times.
Huang Wankai felt humiliated. Every gaze directed at him seemed to accuse him, a feeling that had been lingering this past month. It was as though everyone was saying his acting was subpar, completely crushed under Lin Qin and Meng Chao.
Meng Chao was one thing—after all, he was a fifty-billion-box-office emperor. But who was Lin Qin? The films he starred in hadn’t even been released in theaters, while Huang Wankai had led two or three movies that grossed over five billion each. Sure, maybe he hadn’t won any awards, but in terms of commercial value, he was confident he outmatched Lin Qin. So why was Lin Qin constantly overshadowing him?
The seed of jealousy had been planted long ago, and when Lin Qin crushed him once again tonight, that jealousy exploded, leaving him unable to regain his acting state.
It was a vicious cycle. The anger inside Huang Wankai grew stronger and stronger. When the director finally uttered the word "break," he shot Lin Qin a venomous glare. That glare was like poison—sinister and chilling.
Lin Qin felt baffled, but Huang Wankai was already storming off.
