Chapter 147 Yu Mei snatches away the second female lead (Yu Mei's backer is Yu Han. She also ha

Wang Guangli was in a bad mood. She hadn't been very friendly to Yang Yumei before, but now a big star was backing her up, and she was about to take away Yang Yumei's second female lead role.

Wang Guangli slunk out of the theater after being humiliated by Yu Han and Yu Mei.

Bai Yu and Zhang Xiuli exchanged a knowing smile, secretly chuckling as they watched Bai Yu, a big star, bully her colleague and steal a role. Before long, the story spread within a small circle.

The next day, a group of people gathered outside the theater, holding signs to protest Yang Yumei's alleged takeover of the role. Yang Yumei was stunned when she arrived at the theater, at which point Bai Yu and Zhang Xiuli stepped forward.

They knew it must be Wang Guangli's doing. Bai Yu shouted loudly to the crowd, "You've all been fooled! It's Wang Guangli who maliciously smeared Sister Yu Mei because she didn't get the role herself."

Zhang Xiuli echoed this, producing evidence: a photo of Wang Guangli meeting with a tabloid reporter.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Wang Guangli, who was hiding in a corner watching, gritted her teeth and secretly thought that she had to find another way to deal with Yang Yumei.

But this incident only strengthened Yang Yumei's resolve to play the second female lead well, and she was determined not to let the villains succeed. She looked gratefully at Bai Yu and Zhang Xiuli, and the three of them smiled at each other.

Yang Yumei understood even more now that she needed to have real strength. Once someone had a certain level of strength, everything else would go smoothly. For example, if it weren't for her famous cousin supporting her and vouching for her, she wouldn't have been able to defeat the smug Wang Guangli today. And Bai Yu and Zhang Xiuli, who hadn't always been friendly with her, had proactively helped her through this crisis.

That's why they say that when someone gains some power, a bunch of followers and lackeys will naturally appear behind them!

When a person has no strength whatsoever, instead of flies and dogs behind you, you'll be surrounded by a bunch of crippled, blind, and snotty people trying to step on your back.

After understanding this, Yang Yumei worked even harder to learn how to get promoted and find a featured actor. She thought that in the future, she would have even bigger mercenaries behind her who wouldn't cost her any money.

Yang Yumei devoted herself wholeheartedly to improving her acting skills, getting up early every day to practice her voice, memorize lines, and study the performance styles of outstanding actors in various classic plays. Bai Yu and Zhang Xiuli were also deeply inspired by Yang Yumei's efforts, and the three often exchanged acting tips together.

As time went on, the rehearsals for the play progressed smoothly. However, Wang Guangli did not give up. She secretly contacted several supporting actors in the play, attempting to deliberately make things difficult for Yang Yumei during rehearsals, causing her to make mistakes. But each time, Yang Yumei skillfully defused the situation thanks to her solid acting skills.

Finally, the play officially began. Yang Yumei's brilliant performance won rounds of applause from the audience and high praise from industry professionals. Her portrayal of the second female lead became one of the highlights of the entire play. Meanwhile, the supporting characters who attempted to cause trouble, due to their own wicked intentions, actually behaved abnormally.

In the end, Yang Yumei not only succeeded in filming the second female lead role in the script, but also formed a temporary and deep friendship with Bai Yu and Zhang Xiuli.

As for Wang Guangli, her various misdeeds became known to more people, making it increasingly difficult for her to continue in the entertainment industry. She had no choice but to leave the city in disappointment and seek other opportunities.

Yang Yumei began to further her studies to become a special actor. Whenever she wasn't filming, she would attend acting classes offered by the film studio's union.

Teacher Zhang from the union continued teaching acting classes. The learning content for special actors in the junior special actor upgrade exam included: dialogue, pantomime, improvisational sketches, and film and television acting.

Then, during breaks on set, they would sometimes find partners to perform short skits.

Every extra or featured actor would proactively approach her to act as her partner.

That day, they were filming a scene with extras, and several of the extras were from Northeast China: Bai Yu, Zhang Xiuli, Wang Yufeng, and Gan Zhengfang. There were also other girls.

During filming, extras Bao Xiaolu and Meng Jie would occasionally ask, "That big star Yang Yuhan is actually her cousin."

Then Yu Mei smiled and nodded at them, and they echoed her, congratulating her on having such a famous and wonderful cousin.

Then Bao Xiaolu, Mengjie, and Wang Feier each took out their smartphones and found photos of themselves with the big star Yang Yuhan on set when they were filming.

They said that Yang Yuhan, the big star, had no airs at all in front of them, the extras, and was truly a good girl. They both chuckled after saying this!

Then Bao Xiaolu kept saying that Yu Mei's facial skin was better than all three of them combined.

Then she deliberately raised one finger and pointed to the faces of the two extras next to her who were unfamiliar to Yu Mei, saying, "Look at Sister Yang's skin. The three of us combined are not as fair and supple as Sister Yu Mei's skin."

Mengjie nodded in agreement, looking at Yu Mei's skin. Then she felt that her own face was particularly dark. She was younger than Yu Mei, but her appearance was not even a tenth as good as Yu Mei's.

Yang Yumei saw through her thoughts, then held her hands and comforted her, "Mengjie, we all really admire you. You are so ambitious and capable. You specially bought a tricycle and used your spare time from filming to collect recyclables on the street to sell for money. You are also so kind-hearted. You took my stray little white dog home and raised it. Afraid that it would be lonely at home, you even put it on the tricycle and went to collect recyclables with it."

Then Bao Xiaolu looked at Meng Jie's face, which was sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, and echoed Yang Yumei, saying, "Yes! Young Master Meng, Sister Yang is right. You dress yourself up like an old lady every day. Where else in this film and television city can you find such a capable young girl like you? Thumbs up for you."

"hehe!"

"Don't sit still. Get up, we're filming!" shouted He Yan, the group leader.

Then the girls quickly stood up and prepared to start filming in the direction the team leader pointed out.

Today we were filming a period drama, and then we started filming artificial rain. Suddenly, the artificial rain turned into natural weather and it started to drizzle.

Then, during the break, Yang Yumei went to the film crew's vehicle to collect her straw hat. She received a rather small one with many small holes in it, which was just for decoration and would be useless if it rained heavily.

At this moment, Bai Yu walked over with a large, sealed ancient straw hat in her hand. She noticed that Yu Mei's straw hat was a bit small, so she took off her large straw hat without hesitation and handed it to Yu Mei. Then she was about to take the small straw hat from Yu Mei's head.

At this moment, Wang Yufeng, Gan Zhengfang, Bao Xiaolu, and Mengjie all handed their large straw hats to Yu Mei. Yang Yu Mei felt incredibly lucky. This was no small matter; she was just an unknown special guest, and she really couldn't handle the treatment from this group.

Then Zhang Xiuli, who was standing to the side wearing a tattered straw hat that was even smaller than Yang Yumei's, said with a smirk, "Look at you all! My straw hat is too small and it might leak when it rains. Why don't you give me your straw hats? Isn't it because I have a big star cousin?"

She continued to tease, "This world! There's nothing we can do. Even a good friend isn't as good as a colleague with connections you've only known for a short time." After saying that, she glared at Bai Yu, who was standing around Yu Mei and putting a straw hat on her.

Bai Yu finally put her large bamboo hat on Yu Mei's head. Then she heard Zhang Xiuli speak, but ignored her and pretended not to hear her.

The others were still troubled because they hadn't put the big straw hat on Yu Mei!

Then the group leader, He Yan, asked everyone to stand in front of and beside a platform on site, waiting for filming to begin.

Behind the stage is a small wooden bridge, more than 50 meters long, built with real wooden frames and planks. The wooden frame and planks on the bridge are old and dilapidated, and it looks like they could break at any time if someone steps on them.

Then, team leader He Yan, following the director's instructions, led five or six male and female extras to the small wooden bridge behind the stage. When filming started, the extras on the bridge would need to move back and forth.

He Yan began searching among the extras for suitable candidates to go up to the wooden bridge.

Then Bao Xiaolu, Wang Feier, and two other middle-aged male extras whose names were unknown volunteered to go to the small wooden bridge.

Two more people were needed. He Yan glanced at Yang Yumei, about to arrange for her to go to the small bridge behind the stage. Just then, the lead actress of the play appeared on the wooden platform.

Then another group leader whispered something to He Yan while looking at Yu Han, who was dressed in ancient costume and playing the role of an imperial concubine, on the wooden platform.

Then, suddenly, He Yan was replaced with someone else to film on the wooden bridge.
