Chapter 238: Small Report

"What are you talking about?"

Just as Tang Shuo and Zhu Lan were discussing the terms, Lu Wanqi's voice suddenly came over.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Wanqi appeared in front of the two of them with a forced smile, looking at Tang Shuo indifferently.

After she heard about Tang Shuo's arrival, she came to an important part of the script, so she waited until she finished reading the script before leaving the lounge.

When she asked Li Quan, he hesitantly pointed in this direction.

Lu Wanqi didn't think much about it at the time and walked straight to the place where Li Quan pointed. Unexpectedly, she saw Tang Shuo and Zhu Lan standing together, talking and laughing.

Zhu Lan and Lu Wanqi seemed to have a very good relationship. She immediately smiled and took Lu Wanqi's hand, saying, "We were talking about the script. Let me introduce him to you. His name is... Tang... Shuo. Yes, Tang Shuo."

Hearing someone introduce Tang Shuo to her, Lu Wanqi also found it very interesting. She grinned and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, my name is Lu Wanqi."

The smile on Lu Wanqi's face might seem like a spring breeze to others, but it gave Tang Shuo a chill.

The muscles on his cheek twitched, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "Stop it."

"Huh?" Lu Wanqi asked in feigned confusion, "What's the fuss?"

Then she said to Zhu Lan beside her in a sarcastic tone: "Your friend is quite interesting."

"Really?" Zhu Lan replied, "Maybe he is just that kind of person!"

At this time, the dirty-faced man ran towards the three of them and said breathlessly, "The shooting is about to start. Director Li asked me to call you over."

Lu Wanqi nodded, pulled Zhu Lan and walked directly towards the shooting location, still asking something.

Tang Shuo hesitated for a long time, then followed with a helpless look on his face.

Seeing Tang Shuo and the others coming over, Li Quan said with a smile, "Wanqi, go get ready first!"

"OK."

When Lu Wanqi heard that she was going to work, she seemed like a different person. She took off her coat and handed it to her assistant, then hurried in to prepare.

At this time, Zheng Jie, who had just spoken to Tang Shuo, came over with a man in his forties.

When he saw Tang Shuo, Zheng Jie pointed at Tang Shuo's position and said something to the man next to him.

The man's eyes were sharp, his eyebrows were sharp, and he looked very handsome.

Although he is not a strong man, he has obviously undergone long-term and effective exercise and looks very explosive.

Tang Shuo glanced in the other person's direction and then lost interest. He retracted his gaze and walked over to Li Quan and said, "I'll help you with two scenes, but you can't show your face or shoot any emotional scenes."

Li Quan, who was debugging the equipment, acted as if he hadn't heard Tang Shuo's words. He said to Zhu Lan, who was standing outside the venue, "Zhu Lan, come here and give Tang Shuo a brief explanation."

Zhu Lan immediately agreed and walked straight towards Tang Shuo's position.

Li Quan has now determined that Zhu Lan can eat Tang Shuo to death, so he doesn't care about the face issue. Besides, he didn't force Tang Shuo. Everything was discussed between the two of them and had nothing to do with him.

Zhu Lan was not clear about the relationship between Tang Shuo and Li Quan. Thinking that he would be acting with Tang Shuo next, he explained it to Tang Shuo very responsibly.

Action movies don't require plots that are too logical. As long as there are no major common sense mistakes, basically no one will find fault with the plot.

Li Quan's film is a standard action film, with the main plot being that the protagonist fights evil and attracts the love of the heroine. Finally, he is unintentionally involved in an incident concerning national security, and in completing his mission, he sacrifices his life for his country.

Zhu Lan told Tang Shuo the general plot of the script, and then introduced to Tang Shuo the supporting role he was going to play.

In order to conform to the characteristic that the plot of the movie must be tortuous, in this movie, the protagonist is a young master of a yamen who is only decent in martial arts. After being teased by the female protagonist Lu Wanqi who is dressed as a man, he wants to show off on the street, but is injured by the other party.

The two were both saved by a poor extra played by Tang Shuo. Instead of thanking Tang Shuo, the protagonist showed him a bad attitude. Seeing that the protagonist had good comprehension and understanding, the extra suggested a competition.

For the next three days, the protagonist would come to challenge the extra every day. After three days, the extra left, and the protagonist still hadn't redeemed himself. However, the protagonist had learned a lot from the extra, and as a result, he practiced diligently...

It was precisely because of his dissatisfaction with this part of the plot that Zhen Jingwu, who played the leading role, mentioned this matter to his agent, hoping that the script could be changed to allow him to defeat this supporting role, but he was unexpectedly rejected by Li Quan.

When Zhu Lan was helping Tang Shuo explain, the filming had already started.

The first few shots were all about the protagonist's dandy deeds, which had nothing to do with Tang Shuo, so Tang Shuo didn't pay much attention to the scenes being filmed.

He has now accepted his fate and just hopes that the game can start quickly so that he can finish his part as soon as possible.

Zhen Jingwu is a veteran actor who has filmed many movies. There were almost no hiccups in the first few segments, and Lu Wanqi's filming experience is also very good, so they worked together very quickly.

After the first set of shots was finished, Li Quan walked directly to Tang Shuo and Zhu Lan and asked, "Did you explain it to him?"

"We've finished talking about it," Zhu Lan replied. "What's going on with our love scene?"

Since there was no such thing as a love story between her and Tang Shuo in the script, Zhu Lan was not clear about this.

"It's basically the same as the original script," Li Quan explained. "Change the middle part to say that Tang Shuo and you knew each other when you were kids, and he's been looking for you ever since. There won't be any physical contact, just a passing scene."

Zhu Lan plays a secret agent of the Republic of China government. Her character is in the opposite camp to the protagonist, but she loves the protagonist, so adding this clip does not affect her at all.

"Director Li, I think we should add a couple of passionate scenes?" Lu Wanqi, who had just finished filming, came over and said, "Why do I feel like some people are really disappointed?"

In reality, Lu Wanqi was only joking. She understood that this was just Li Quan's intention, but she was somewhat envious of Zhu Lan being able to film with Tang Shuo. If it weren't for the many complications involved, she would have even wanted to swap roles with Zhu Lan.

Li Quan turned around and smiled at Lu Wanqi with an embarrassed look on his face, saying, "It's just a performance!"

Tang Shuo looked at the sarcastic Lu Wanqi, walked up to her, grabbed her hand, and dragged her to a less crowded place.

…

Zhu Lan, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to follow and take a look, Li Quan stopped him and said, "It's okay, don't worry about them."

"Do these two know each other?" Zhu Lan asked with a puzzled look.

Li Quan nodded, winked at Zhu Lan, and said, "Of course he knows her. Otherwise, why do you think Wanqi went with him?"

Zhu Lan looked at the backs of the two men, frowned in confusion, not knowing what he was thinking.

Everyone around who saw this scene also looked at the backs of Tang Shuo and Lu Wanqi. After asking again and again, no one knew who this young man was.

…

"what are you up to?"

Lu Wanqi, who was being dragged by Tang Shuo, wrinkled her delicate nose and said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't speak up, I'm going to call for help."

"Is it illegal to seduce a girlfriend?" Tang Shuo stopped and said to Lu Wanqi with a helpless look on his face, "I've only met that Zhu Lan once. This is only our second time."

Hearing Tang Shuo admit that he was Lu Wanqi's girlfriend, the awkwardness in her heart instantly disappeared, but she still insisted, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Aren't I afraid that you will misunderstand?" Tang Shuo replied.

"You really don't know her?" Lu Wanqi asked.

“I don’t know him!”

"Then I won't tell tales." Lu Wanqi replied arrogantly.

"What snitch?"
