My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 275: Changing The Lead Actress 

When Wendy arrived the set, the shooting hadn't started yet.

All the actors were chatting among themselves, gathered in groups.

Seeing Wendy coming over, Daisy waved at her from the crowd.

"Wendy, come here!"

"Morning, Daisy," Wendy greeted brightly.

Daisy hooked her arm around Wendy's and dragged her to a corner, buzzing with excitement.

"Wendy, have you heard that the director is going to replace one of the cast members?" she whispered.

Wendy was taken aback.

"Really?"

"Yes! He's changing the lead actress!" Daisy said, clapping her hands together.

Wendy was surprised.

‘Eris is going to be replaced?’ But after a moment, she thought that it made sense.

After all, Eris was embroiled in scandals and banned from acting by her company.

Before the scandals erupted, her Facebook follower count had stood at about thirty million, but now, it had plummeted to less than ten million followers.

The decrease had happened over just a few days, which was an unprecedentedly short time.

Now that her follower count had decreased, she had lost the favor of common people as well.

And this was not even the worst part.

After the news of Eris being banned by Starlight Media came out, the actresses who had been bullied by her before all began to share their stories on Facebook.

They said that Eris was arrogant and domineering behind the scenes and bullied all the newcomers in the company in order to suppress their development and eliminate competition.

Following this news, her follower count had dropped at an even quicker pace.

As Eris began to lose her influence, all the major entertainment media companies pounced at the opportunity to report her stories.

At this rate, it would be impossible for Eris to make a comeback in the entertainment industry.

The biggest investors of the Story of Concubine Ivanka were Glory Media and Starlight Media.

The lead actor, Mason, and the supporting actress, Daisy, were both from Glory Media, so the role of the lead actress was naturally given to Eris.

At first, although Carter thought that Eris was a little young for the role, he found her to be suitable in appearance, not to mention that she had a large number of followers on Facebook.

So after the audition, Eris was chosen as the lead actress.But now, her name was being dragged into scandals left and right.

It was only practical for Carter to replace Eris, who would have a negative impact on the broadcast of the Story of Concubine Ivanka.

"But if the lead actress is replaced now, will the show still be broadcast in the winter vacation as scheduled?" Wendy asked worriedly.

Daisy's excitement died down, and she pouted.

"That's what I was going to say next.Eris obviously had the most scenes in the show, and we already finishing shooting half of them.Now that she's replaced, all of her scenes will have to be deleted.Everyone who acted in a scene with her will have to shoot it again! And the director said that this show must be broadcast during the winter vacation no matter what.We'll basically have to work day and night."

Upon hearing that, Wendy looked at Daisy sympathetically.

In fact, Wendy did have a lot of rival scenes with Eris in this show.

But since she also shared a lot of scenes with Jeffrey, she had finished shooting them first in order to accommodate his busy schedule.She did shoot a few scenes with Eris as well, but not many.

In other words, there weren't many scenes of hers that would have to be reshot.

But Daisy was different.She was playing the role of the empress. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Almost every time Eris had to appear on screen, so did Daisy.

This meant that most of Daisy's scenes would have to be reshot.

"Ahhh! Eris is so annoying!" Daisy said irritably, thinking of how much work she had ahead of her.

Wendy patted her shoulder sympathetically.

"I'm sorry.”

Upon hearing that, Daisy felt sadder.

Heaving a sigh, she raised her eyebrows at Wendy.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Wendy asked in confusion.

"No.Well, Eris gave you trouble all the time, right? She's replaced.So how come you don't look happy about it at all?" Daisy asked.

Since the fact that Wendy was related to Eris was widespread, Daisy obviously knew about it.

In fact, before their relationship was revealed, no one in the cast even suspected that they were sisters.

After all, the two of them didn't talk much in the set, nor did they practice their lines with each other before the shooting.

Therefore, it came as a shock to everyone that Eris and Wendy were actually sisters.

But since they weren't so close to Wendy, none of them asked her about it, except Daisy.Since Daisy was well-acquainted with Wendy, she didn't hesitate to talk to her about it.

Hearing her question, Wendy shrugged and said, "I have nothing to do with her."

It was obvious that Wendy didn't want her name to be even mentioned in the same breath as Eris’.

Daisy didn't ask her any further questions.

The shooting was about to start soon, so the two of them went to the dressing room to change into their costume and get their make-up done.

After a while, the director entered the room with an actress.

Both Daisy and Wendy were stunned when they saw the woman who walked in.

"Oh, my God!" Daisy's voice rose in excitement.

"Odette Haska!"

Wendy's jaw dropped in surprise.

Odette Haska was thirty-two years old.She was one of the top actresses under Glory Media.Her acting skills were simply out of this world.She had started her career as an actress at the tender age of sixteen.Her very first project was a big hit, propelling her into fame.

Just a year later, at the age of seventeen, she won the best actress award.

Over the years, she had managed to stay relevant and at the top of the game.

It had been so long since her debut, but she constantly continued to improve.

Daisy and Wendy exchanged a glance, thinking the same thing.

‘Is Odette the actress who is going to replace Eris?’

Five minutes later, Carter gathered the main members of the cast and announced, "You've probably heard the rumors by now, so I won't keep you in suspense.Eris quitted.From today on, Odette will be the lead actress of our show."

There was an audible gasp from the cast.

Odette was stunningly beautiful.

Wendy had seen her on the big screen before, and she was even more gorgeous in person.

Odette had fair skin, a tall figure, a pretty face, and a graceful temperament, all of which made her the ideal woman.

Moreover, in terms of appearance, she was very suitable to play the role of Lady Ivanka.

After Carter said those words, Odette stepped forward and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Hello, everyone.I'm Odette.Nice to meet you."

Although she was famous, she looked easy-going and down to earth.

Now that Eris was out of the picture, all the main leads of the show were from Glory Media.

Since they came from the same company, they had a lot to talk with each other.

Mason, in particular, already knew Odette, and the two of them got along well.

Carter was happy to see his cast members chatting in harmony.

Then, he took the opportunity to announce the bad news.

"Guys, here's the thing.Since we've replaced the lead actress, it means that we have to reshoot many scenes.I'll give you a day to get used to the new arrangement.From tomorrow on, we'll be working overtime so that we can finish the shooting as soon as possible.What do you think?"

Everyone agreed, albeit reluctantly.

"Okay, that's it."

After the announcement, Carter looked at Wendy with embarrassment.

"Wendy..."

"What's the matter?" Wendy asked in confusion.

"Well...here's the thing.In order to make things easier for us, can you stay on set until the shooting is finished?"
