The person who came in was Lily, Julia's agent.
In the novel, Julia always followed Ford who then thought that Julia was an idle fool. So Julia decided to enter the entertainment industry to let him know her abilities. She could totally earn her living with her beauty.
But she messed it up. the best job she had received so far was the top 4 actress in a drama, and she only had about 1000 fans now. But among them, more than 900 were anti-fans.
"That was President Ainsworth of the Sun Entertainment? he's your husband?"
Lily took off her eyeglasses and teased, "You are the president's wife. Why do you choose to be an actor?"
It wasn't surprising that celebrities in the entertainment industry hid their marriages.
Lily only heard Julia say that she had a husband, but Lily never saw him before. She thought that Julia had imagined a husband.
Julia took a sip of the milk tea brought by Lily with satisfaction and calmly said, "You're mistaken". In the past, because of that unpleasant thing before marriage, the Ainsworth had agreed Ford to marry her only if she promised to conceal the marriage before giving birth to a child.
Now that she and Ford were about to divorce, there was no need to let others know who her husband was.
Lily glanced at Julia and stopped gossiping. If Julia's husband was Ford, would she still be like this? She would have long been a famous star if Ford gives her a hand.
Lily asked with concerned, "Are you going to ask the crew for leave?"
Julia said, " No. I can work tomorrow". After all, she had lost her lover, so she couldn't give up her career.
"That's good. If you ask for a leave, the director will cut off all of your scenes. It won't affect the plot anyway".
"....."
She was miserable.
Wherever she went, she was a dispensable role.
...
The next day, Julia arrived at the set in advance. The male nor female lead hadn't come yet. She was currently acting in a costume drama called [My Princess]. She was a malicious woman who loved the male lead deeply. During her few scenes, she always made troubles for the female lead and the male lead would come to save the female lead.
Sitting in a simple dressing room, Julia watched her part today which was that she was beaten up. Moreover, her scene was the last one. She had enough time to ponder over her emotions. When the grip saw her, he glared at her angrily, "Julia, what's wrong? Why haven't you put your makeup yet?"
Julia was surprised, "My scene is the last one. It doesn't matter if I change it later".
After all, they were shooting winter scenes in summer. Was it appropriate to wear a jacket and fur coat to wait for two hours on such a hot day?
Hearing that, the grip immediately mocked, "If you don't change early, do you want Mr. Lucas to wait for you? How dare you be so arrogant?"
The male lead of the drama, Lucas, was one of the most popular stars now and also was Ford's cousin as well as the investor of the drama.
Needless to say, Lucas was powerful.
At the same time, as a follower of Ana, Lucas always thought that Julia was a scheming b*tch. It wasn't a secret that Lucas and Julia were on bad terms, so Julia had few resources and opportunities. In the entertainment circle, people all treated actors according to their status, so anyone dared to mocked Julia.
Julie agreed to change her costume for the remuneration of a hundred thousand dollars. After all, she had not become a billionaire yet, so she couldn't be stubborn. She calmly changed into costumes and waited for the makeup artist to doll her up. It was very hot recently, so Julia felt very hot with only one fan in the temporary dressing room. Fortunately, her scene later was that the female pushed her into the water, which could make her cooler.
After finishing her makeup, Julia went to the scene and waited in the shade, accidentally hearing some people talking at the back.
"Mr. Lucas, thank you for your hard work. I've bought you a cup of ice coffee."
"Mr. Lucas, it's so hot. Why don't you take a rest first?"
The one who spoke was the female lead in drama, Cindy, who was also a newly popular star.
Lucas did not say anything or picked up her coffee. He just looked at Julia unintentionally. Cindy looked at Julia with contempt, then put down coffee unhappily and left.
Julia was shocked. She stood there and didn't do anything, but why was Cindy mad at her?
Lucas must have done it on purpose!
She remembered that when she first came to Country D from the country side , Ford and all of his friends disliked her. Especially Lucas who always stopped and said, "Don't make trouble. If you dare to bully Ana, we won't be polite to you".
At the time, Julia felt that Lucas was mentally ill. Now she still thought so.
After a long wait, the director spoke on the walkie talkie. "It's the last scene today. Actors, please be in place immediately".
After Julia and Cindy began, the director said, "Not good" a few times. So Julia had been pushed into the water repeatedly.
Although it was comfortable to fall into water on hot day, Julia could not swim and would choke every time she fell down. The life guard also dawdled. He would never pull her up until she choked a few mouthfuls of water.
Julia finally experienced that it was hard to make money. The scene was filmed several times.
Director said, "Cindy, what happened to you today?"
Cindy immediately apologized, "Sorry director, I'll adjust myself". Her attitude was extremely good and she looked pitiful and helpless, so people didn't bear to criticize her harshly.
Julie thought of her remuneration and forcefully controlled her anger. At this time, Lucas glanced at Julia and said to the director, "I still have something to do. Can we success this time?"
"Yes I'm sorry." Cindy immediately blushed.
The scene was Finally over. Then Julia took off her wet costume that weighed too much and was going home After bath. When she passed by the bathroom, she stopped since she heard someone mentioning her name.
"Have you guys seen how much water Julia swallowed today? The scene almost kill her"
"That's right. Everyone knows that Mr. Lucas hates Julia. Cindy really knows how to pleased Mr. Lucas. He will definitely treat you differently now".
" The life guard also knows when to save her. If Julia doesn't swallow water, he wont lift her up."
"The life guard is my fan. With just a single glance, he'll understand". Cindy smiled proudly, "Unfortunately, there's no such scene later. I haven't had enough fun today."
Julia walked into the bathroom with a smile and said, " Is it fun?"
Then, she locked the door.
There were always someone who loves provoking her. Haha! if she didn't make a move, then she shouldn't be called the villain in the novel. As long as it wasn't related to the male and Female leads, she could still do whatever she wanted.
Who couldn't pretend to be pure?
