The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 18

Even Bai Yue noticed that something was off, but the arrow was drawn, and she had to let it fly. She had already announced that the actor would be replaced, and she had to continue regardless of how strange the situation was. Moreover, as far as she knew, that actor had a sugar daddy, who was the biggest investor in the crew! He had invested more money than Su Xi.

In reality, this was a low-budget movie to begin with, or they wouldn’t have let a newly popular actor inserted into the cast behave so outrageously. But Bai Yue didn’t know that! She simply assumed the forces behind the actor were powerful. She muttered internally: Even if you are happy now, when that backer comes forward, you’ll have a headache!

While Bai Yue was muttering, Wang Yao suddenly spoke: “CEO Bai, who do you think we should replace him with?”

Wang Yao’s reminder gave Bai Yue a new idea. Since you all have no reaction to replacing him, why don’t I put up an actor you dislike!

To be honest, Bai Yue was a little embarrassed and angry. This was her first time doing something bad. She had planned to splash Su Xi with red wine, and although she ended up splashing lemonade soda, it felt strange and gave her zero sense of accomplishment. Now that she said she wanted to replace an actor, they didn’t even react.

Although Bai Yue was indeed not good at being malicious, this made her look too useless!

Bai Yue felt a bit wronged. She took a deep breath and called out: “Call all the actors with minor roles over.” Bai Yue had thought this through. Actors with major roles definitely wouldn’t work; they were all skilled, and many were veteran actors. Not only would they be the wrong age, but their acting would be too good. They might end up revitalizing the movie.

Then she wouldn’t be causing trouble; she’d be sending warmth to Su Xi!

Hearing Bai Yue’s words, the crew members exchanged glances. At this point, her little sidekick, Wang Yao, stepped out again and began her performance of a wicked subordinate: “Didn’t you hear what our CEO Bai said? Hurry up! If you don’t comply, we’ll tell CEO Chen!”

“…” Bai Yue looked at Wang Yao. The latter proudly met her gaze, clearly meaning to ask: How was that, CEO Bai? Was that the right vibe? CEO Chen told me you’re here to play the villain!

The performance was good, but the last sentence was a bit unnecessary.

If she said that out loud, what kind of villainous air would she have left? She was clearly acting like a brat who would tell on others to her big guardian whenever she couldn’t get her way!

But considering this was Wang Yao’s first time coordinating with her, some mistakes were forgivable, so Bai Yue didn’t pursue it.

Under Wang Yao’s borrowed authority, the crew started moving, gathering the small supporting actors with minor roles. During this time, they also moved to a different location, as it was the middle of summer, and they couldn’t stay outside forever. That would be torturing themselves.

They switched to a conference room and began interviewing the actors.

To be honest, although they were all small supporting actors with minor roles, since they were trying to make it in the entertainment industry, they were all good-looking. While they were far inferior to Chen Mengyi, they were still highly attractive, scoring seven or eight out of ten among ordinary people.

Bai Yue couldn’t exactly look for particularly ugly people to act; that would be an insult to her own eyes. But since they were all attractive, it made it a little difficult for Bai Yue to choose—They are too good-looking. What if the movie becomes a hit?

She debated back and forth, feeling that everyone’s acting skills were about the same—no one was outstanding, but no one was a hindrance either. Bai Yue thought this was purely their level, but she didn’t realize that the director had good judgment and sought out skilled actors even for supporting roles.

If the acting was the same, there was nothing to choose on that point, leaving it up to Bai Yue’s preference. She spun her pen for a while, asked the actors to come in again, and finally picked the one whose appearance she found most pleasing.

The biggest traffic star had already been kicked out by her, and the rest were minor players who couldn’t stir up any waves. This film was definitely going to flop.

The actor Bai Yue called out looked incredulous, even pointing a hand back at herself: “Me, me?”

Bai Yue tilted her head. This moment had a strange déjà vu feeling, like the scene where someone is told to “go capture the monk Tripitaka” and replies, “Huh? Me?” Bai Yue felt more confident. She counter-asked: “Yes, you. Is there any problem with that?”

She had chosen a female actor who was tall and long-legged, but not overly muscular; she had a slender and graceful figure. Bai Yue had considered this: since they were shooting a romance film, if she couldn’t choose heterosexual romance, she’d choose Yuri. If she couldn’t pick a butch, she’d pick someone to her taste. That way, even if the movie flopped, at least she could enjoy watching a few scenes.

The Gong (Top) partner should look this attractive. Too many butch women can lead to aesthetic fatigue. Butches weren’t even popular before Bai Yue transmigrated, let alone after watching butch films for so many years.

Under Bai Yue’s counter-question, the actress became even more flustered: “But, but I’m an Omega.”

Bai Yue hadn’t actually noticed this. After all, this was just a filming location, and one where most people were quite professional. Everyone had obediently taken suppressants, so pheromones barely leaked out. Unless you were close enough to sniff them, you really couldn’t smell anything.

And there were many people in the crew. The crew had gathered all the actors with minor roles, as Bai Yue requested, so the conference room was filled with people. There were Alphas, Betas, and Omegas. The pheromones were numerous and mixed. Without getting close, who could tell what sex someone was?

When she first heard the actress say she was an Omega, Bai Yue was hesitant. After all, having an Omega play an Alpha role was like forcing a woman to cross-dress as a man. Not only might the actor be unwilling, but there was a high chance she would be torn apart by audience criticism later.

However, Bai Yue still didn’t want to let go of someone with such good looks. How perfect. If she was going to film, why not shoot a female-female film that pleased her eyes? So, Bai Yue gave the choice to the actress: “Why? Can’t an Omega act? Do you lack the confidence to play an Alpha well? Or are you afraid of being drowned in the audience’s criticism?”

“Of course, if you truly don’t want to play the role, I won’t force you. The choice is yours.”

The Omega actress struggled for a long time, looking at the director, then the scriptwriter. Finally, she took a deep breath, still sounding a little hesitant: “Is it really okay for me, an Omega, to play an Alpha who falls in love with an Omega?”

This question finally hit the nail on the head for Bai Yue. She, of course, didn’t mind. She didn’t care how others chose to love. Not only was the actress just acting as an Alpha, but even if she, as an Omega, genuinely fell in love with another Omega, Bai Yue would be fine with it.

As long as she could handle the pheromone instability during her rut period.

After all, Bai Yue was a lesbian; how could she discriminate against two people of the same gender falling in love? Moreover, they weren’t even falling in love.

So, Bai Yue said naturally: “Yes, it is.”

The Omega actress made up her mind: “Okay, then I’ll play the role.”

The production crew immediately became busier. They had to start filming again. Fortunately, Chen Mengyi had anticipated Bai Yue’s antics and had already set aside time for the crew. So, even though they had to restart filming due to the replacement of both lead actors, there was no rush.

At this time, the scriptwriter excitedly rewrote the script that had been changed for the previous rising star Alpha actor, giving Bai Yue the original script to read. Bai Yue sat in the conference room and began reading the script.

The script… was quite interesting, genuinely telling a story set on the eve of the apocalypse. Originally, the two had no connection: one was a high-status Omega socialite, the other an ordinary Alpha working stiff. The Alpha might have harbored admiration for the Omega, but always kept it hidden.

Then, suddenly, news of the impending apocalypse spread. The world fell into chaos. The Omega socialite’s parents were trapped overseas and couldn’t return. Her home was in turmoil, and the Omega could only hide in a small cave near the sea behind her villa, praying not to be discovered. It was then that the Alpha arrived, protecting the Omega socialite.

They lived together in a small wooden cabin behind the villa for a long time. However, the apocalypse never came; everything returned to normal. The socialite’s parents returned home, searching for their missing beloved daughter. The Alpha knew all this but didn’t want to let go of the person who had once hung so high in the sky like a star.

She concealed all information and lived with the Omega for a time.

Love, possessiveness, guilt, and self-reproach swirled in her mind for the Omega. Eventually, the Omega discovered the truth. As the Omega tried to escape, the Alpha, who had a clear physical advantage, could have captured her, but at the last moment, she chose to let the Omega push her off a cliff.

In the end, the Omega returned to the villa, but every time night fell, she felt as if she were back in the small wooden cabin.

Bai Yue’s critique after reading it: A pretty messed up script. If I weren’t bored, I definitely wouldn’t watch such a morally questionable movie. It was clearly an Alpha driven by lust, but they tried to disguise it as love. The fact that the Omega feels like she’s back in the cabin every night is just guilt, isn’t it? Why feel guilty toward a pervert?

Wang Yao next to her was weeping profusely: “Wuwuwu, this tragedy is so good! The character settings are so compelling!”

“…”

Bai Yue glanced at Wang Yao in surprise. As expected of someone who can be a villain’s sidekick, her moral compass is definitely unconventional.

Sigh, there really aren’t many villains with a healthy and normal moral compass like mine anymore.
