Falling in love with the movie star 4

Half an hour later, Zheng Xuanlin was called out and waited for a while. He looked at the nearly complete director and screenwriter team and thought to himself, "This is quite a grand event! It seems Xiang Qing is really confident."

Xiang Qing opened the door, and after the people outside gradually entered, she looked at Zheng Xuanlin seriously and said, "I hope you can truly be impartial and use your acting skills to bring the other person into the role."

"You don't have to keep reminding me that when I'm acting, I only have the character's emotions, not my own," said Zheng Xuanlin.

After entering, it looked like a small studio. Not only had the scene been arranged, but the cameras and monitors were also set up.

Zheng Xuanlin stood outside the set for a while, gathering his emotions and immersing himself in the role. Then, he strode into the set and called out, "My beloved?"

The curtains of the large wooden bed slowly opened, revealing a woman lying inside with her shoulders exposed and her clothes half undressed.

Even Zheng Xuanlin, who had already entered the role, couldn't help but be stunned. He thought to himself, is this really the person from before? They don't look like each other at all. Could it be that my cousin found a real woman and wanted to get away with it first?

The directors and screenwriters were also stunned, thinking to themselves, this can't be a man, this absolutely can't be a man! Look at those arms, as round and smooth as white jade lotus roots, look at those long, straight, snow-white legs, there are no masculine characteristics at all, they absolutely don't believe it!

Tao Yuan slowly sat up from the bed. He had a delicate figure and charming eyes. He shyly opened his red lips and said, "Your Majesty~."

The call of "Your Majesty" made people feel numb all over, and even the voice was so charming and moving. Just by listening to the voice, they were certain in their hearts that this was definitely a woman and could not be a man!

Zheng Xuanlin was indeed a talented person. Although he was also very surprised, he did not show it on the surface. He walked over, sat down beside the bed, and gently lifted Tao Yuan's chin and said, "I heard that the beauty is ill. How is it that you feel?"

Tao Yuan used her delicate fingers to cup Zheng Xuanlin's large palm, placed it on her swollen chest, looked into his eyes shyly and said, "I have a heartache that comes with not being able to see Your Majesty."

Such a delicate, such an alluring beauty, now shyly confessing her love, made one want to hold her in his arms and cherish her. Zheng Xuanlin's mind gradually became unstable, because the eyes that looked into his seemed to have hooked his heart and pulled it out with force.

Tao Yuan knew that he had no memory of his past life and would definitely not fall in love with him so quickly, so he used the system's seduction ability to make him fall in love with him as soon as possible.

Zheng Xuanlin hugged him tightly in his arms, stroked his arm and said, "So the beauty is suffering from lovesickness, and only I can cure it."

He pressed his face against his chest, rubbing his fingers against it, then slipping them into his collar, stroking him lightly and heavily as he said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong with me. I miss you all the time. I just want to lie in your arms day and night, otherwise I feel very uncomfortable. It seems that I am really suffering from lovesickness. What should I do?"

His voice was delicate and gentle, and he spoke seductive words, but his expression and eyes suddenly became fierce, full of hatred and murderous intent.

Those engrossed in the scene were startled, then reminded themselves that, in the plot, Shui Junyao was a prince whose country had been destroyed and whose family had been annihilated. To infiltrate the palace and seek revenge, he practiced becoming a woman day and night from the age of ten, constantly taking dance lessons. Eight years later, he was adopted as the daughter of the king of a small kingdom and brought to the Great Chu Palace as a princess.

At this time, Shui Junyao was filled with hatred for Zhao Xuan and wanted to kill him immediately because it was Zhao Xuan who destroyed his country. However, he not only wanted to kill Zhao Xuan, but also wanted to destroy the entire Chu State. Therefore, he had to seduce Zhao Xuan first and turn him into a foolish and tyrannical tyrant.

When his face was lifted up, his expression became shy again, and the speed of his expression changing was so fast that people who saw it could not react.

Of course, Zheng Xuanlin didn't see his expression just now. All he saw was the shy face in front of him and the unspeakable affection in his eyes. He almost believed that he really loved her.

Tao Yuan saw his thoughts and thought to himself, I really love you. Although you don't remember how much we loved each other in our previous life, it doesn't matter. It won't be long before I make you fall in love with me too.

"Your Majesty, I am in great pain. Please help me heal." He stretched out his white jade arms and embraced his neck.

Zheng Xuanlin slowly pushed him down, kneading his thighs and saying, "I have a medicine that can cure all diseases. I guarantee that it can cure the beauty's heart disease."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please heal me quickly." He hugged the person who was touching and kissing him, and said emotional words, but the expression on his face was full of hatred and sadness, and his eyes had no desire, only emptiness and despair.

In order to avoid being discovered as a man, Shui Junyao never takes off her clothes during sex. However, after a long time, she would definitely be unable to hide it, so this scene is her preparation for revealing her male body. The next scene is Shui Junyao deliberately revealing her male identity and then deceiving Zhao Xuan's trust.

The plot is set during a dynasty where homosexuality is rampant, but to prevent harem chaos, men are barred from the palace. Men favored by the emperor are relegated to the imperial palace, where they rarely see the emperor. Shui Junyao's goal is to conceal his status as a man and keep him in the harem once the emperor learns of his status. How he accomplishes this remains a suspenseful question for the next episode.

After Tao Yuan was pushed down on the bed by Zheng Xuanlin, the scene ended. Xiang Qing only asked them to perform this part. Although she did not call for a stop, the two of them had already stopped acting.

Tao Yuan lay on the bed with his hands on both sides of his head, waiting for Zheng Xuanlin, who was pressing on him, to get up before he felt better.

Zheng Xuanlin propped himself up, but did not stand up immediately. Instead, he placed his hands on both sides of Tao Yuan's body and looked down at him.

The two stared at each other for a long time, their eyes intertwined. Zheng Xuanlin was trying to discern whether he was a man or a woman, but to others, he looked affectionate. The onlookers thought they were going to continue the performance, and no one interrupted them.

Tao Yuan couldn't help but say, "It's over. Can you please move aside?"

Tao Yuan used his original voice. Although it was still soft and pleasant, it was obviously a boy's voice. Zheng Xuanlin came back to his senses.

After the two stood up, Xiang Qing stood up, looked at the others and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Everyone shook their heads, expressing their disapproval and expressing their deep admiration for Xiang Qing's discerning eye. Zheng Xuanlin didn't have much room to shine in this scene, but no one doubted his acting prowess. Tao Yuan's inner drama was incredibly well-acted, perfectly capturing Shui Junyao's emotions. Regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, he was Shui Junyao herself.

The assistant director suddenly raised his hand and said, "I want to know whether he is a man or a woman."

"Makeup artist," Xiang Qing called towards the door, "Come in and remove his makeup."

Two makeup artists came in, one helped him remove the wig, and the other helped him remove his makeup with makeup remover.

Her original appearance slowly revealed itself. Although it was still a delicate and pretty face, it no longer had the feeling of a woman.

The people from the director team and the screenwriter team really had nothing to say this time. They were convinced by Xiang Qing's vision and were willing to admit that there was no one more suitable to play Shui Junyao than the person in front of them.

Zheng Xuanlin didn't leave immediately. He stood aside, watching Tao Yuan remove his makeup. He vaguely understood why Xiang Qing was so insistent on letting him see the whole thing before drawing any conclusions. He also clearly realized that jumping to conclusions based on one's own thoughts without understanding the results would not only be wrong, but could also lead to regrets due to missed opportunities.

Xiang Qing and Zheng Xuanlin returned to the office. Xiang Qing used the screen on the wall to play the footage she had just filmed.

Zheng Xuanlin sat on the sofa, watching the performance intently. Seeing it from a third-party perspective was a completely different experience, especially when he saw Tao Yuan's eyes and expression change. He was deeply shocked. He couldn't imagine that someone who had never studied acting and had no acting experience could actually produce such a look.

After playing it once, Xiang Qing started playing it a second time, then turned down the volume and said to Zheng Xuanlin, "His infectiousness and the way he expresses himself with his eyes are amazing, aren't they? Now you know why I chose him, right? His performance is exactly how I imagined Shui Junyao to be. Shui Junyao has so much inner drama, and if I don't find an actor with expressive eyes, the character will just be portrayed as expressionless."

After the third replay, Xiang Qing turned off the screen, looked at Zheng Xuanlin, and asked, "Now, tell me what you think. Do you still insist on having a female actress play Shui Junyao?"

Zheng Xuanlin was silent for a while before he spoke, "Although his full acting skills can't be seen in this audition, he is definitely a very versatile and talented actor. I'm looking forward to working with him, and I'm glad you insisted. I'm convinced by your vision."

Xiang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then said seriously, "It's exactly as you said. A single audition doesn't reveal a person's full acting ability. After all, he has no acting experience, so there might still be areas where he doesn't perform well during the actual filming. When the time comes, I hope you can give him some guidance, and we can all work together to make this drama a success."

"You don't have to tell me that. I would have done the same." Zheng Xuanlin stood up and said, "Now you can rest assured, and so can I. Let's just wait until the day of filming officially begins."

Tao Yuan had already changed his clothes and was sitting outside waiting. When he saw Zheng Xuanlin coming out, he immediately stood up and said, "Hello, senior."

Zheng Xuanlin looked him over and then extended his hand. "Hello, I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with you in the future."

Tao Yuan stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, but just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he was held tightly by him.

Zheng Xuanlin looked at his hand, then carefully touched his fingers, as if to confirm something. After a while, he let go of his hand and said, "Your hands are beautiful, your legs are beautiful, and your eyes are beautiful..."

Zheng Xuanlin is a hand control. At the moment of shaking hands just now, he thought these hands were very beautiful. As for the next two sentences, how he blurted them out even he was confused.

"......" Tao Yuan looked at him, not knowing whether he was just giving her a simple compliment or hinting at something. He shouldn't fall in love with her so quickly.

On the way back, Zheng Xuanlin recalled the audition, finding it quite amusing. Someone who could pull off a woman's poses so naturally must have a certain effeminacy. But after removing his makeup, he didn't look feminine at all. He was simply a handsome, refined man, and even his demeanor and tone of voice didn't have the slightest hint of effeminacy.

Zheng Xuanlin is even more looking forward to the filming of this drama.

Since there were no problems on both sides, the contract was signed quickly, and Tao Yuan just had to wait to join the crew for filming.

Sitting in the car, Tao Yuan flipped through the script he had just received. After taking a quick look at Shui Junyao's part, he finally understood why Xiang Qing asked him to play that role.

After Shui Junyao entered the palace, she had too many complicated feelings and emotions. She couldn't express them, let alone share them with others, so this character had a lot of inner drama. This inner drama was mainly conveyed through her eyes and expressions. Even if there was a voice-over to express her inner thoughts, if her eyes and expressions were not in place, it would still make people feel that her acting was not good and it would be difficult to get into the role.

After reading the contract several times, Liu Yongcai finally felt relieved. He said to Tao Yuan, "Let's work hard together in the future. You work hard on your acting, and I will try my best to help you arrange other matters. I know you are not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships and you don't know how to please others. I will help you with these things in the future. As for you, just work hard to use your acting skills to fight for opportunities. There are still many directors who value acting skills. If you become famous sooner, I can also benefit from your fame."

When it comes to handling interpersonal relationships, Tao Yuan is quite confident in Liu Yong, as he is very good at it. He is flexible and good at handling all kinds of trivial matters.

Tao Yuan glanced at the contract. Since it was a weekly series, filming would begin and end simultaneously, so the pay was calculated on an episode-by-episode basis. The money would only be deposited into the company's account after each episode was finished. Newcomers' pay would be lower, certainly not comparable to those of popular stars, but the pay Tao Yuan received this time was a considerable sum for a newcomer.

As soon as the two returned to the company, they saw Li Qiao surrounded by a group of newcomers, who were discussing something excitedly. Li Qiao looked very proud, so she must have got the audition.

Sure enough, as the two approached, Li Qiao stopped them and said, "I got a role in the crew of "Hegemony" and plan to take them to celebrate. Hua Xi, you should come too."

Looking at Li Qiao's malicious eyes, she must want to vent her anger on him at the party again. This is not the first time she has done such a thing.

Liu Yong stopped in front of Tao Yuan and said, "I'm sorry, Qiaojie, Hua Xi got the role of Shui Junyao and just signed the contract. He will be joining the crew for filming soon. Now he needs to hurry up and familiarize himself with the script. You can go celebrate on your own, he definitely won't have time to go."

"What did you say?!" Li Qiao's eyes were wide with shock, and she looked unwilling to believe it. "He got the role of Shui Junyao? Just because of him? Are you kidding me?!"

Liu Yong frowned impatiently, shook the contract in his hand and said, "I'm really not in the mood to joke. The contract is here. He must join the crew for filming when the time comes. In order to ensure that he can join the crew for filming properly, I have a lot of things to do. I need to help him choose two capable assistants, apply for a nanny car from the company, and arrange a special lounge for him, etc."

Li Qiao reached out to grab the contract. She didn't want to believe what Liu Yong said was true. She wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Liu Yong dodged her hand. "This is a very heavy thing. It contains confidential information. Not everyone can see it. Qiaojie, you are an actress who has filmed many dramas before. You should understand these rules, right? I want to take the contract to the general manager now. Please move aside."

Li Qiao stared, took a deep breath, gritted her teeth in anger, and stood in the middle without moving.

Liu Yong couldn't completely break off relations with her now, so he could only walk around her.

When Tao Yuan walked up to her, he said in a mocking tone, "Qiaojie also got a role in the crew of "Hegemony"? It should be another maid or palace maid, right? If it is a palace maid, maybe we will have a chance to act together. When the time comes, you will serve me tea and water, and I will help you add some scenes. How about throwing it in your face?"

"Don't be too proud! There are so many variables in the entertainment industry. Even if you have already joined the group, there will be people who will be rejected. It's too early for you to be arrogant with me now!" Li Qiao wanted to scratch his face so that he couldn't join the group.

"Qiao Jie is indeed a senior, very experienced. It seems that she has been rejected many times." Tao Yuan nodded in agreement. "Then wait until I become famous, then I will show off my arrogance in front of you. Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

Li Qiao was furious. She puffed out her chest and raised her head as if that would make her look more imposing. "Want to be famous? You're so naive! Do you think it's that easy to become famous in the entertainment industry? Do you think you can become famous immediately if you take on a decent role? I'll wait and see how you get rejected in disgrace!"

"Thank you for your advice, Qiaojie. However, this is my first drama, and I've already landed a supporting role with a lot of screen time. I'm still so young, so I'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. Qiaojie is already old, and still playing palace maids. It's probably hard for her to become famous, right? It's really pitiful when you think about it. She can't even sleep well enough to get a good role. If I were you, I'd just quit the entertainment industry. I wouldn't have the nerve to show off in front of these newcomers every day, and then happily celebrate for getting a role with only a few lines."

"You!" Li Qiao was so angry that she lost her mind and raised her hand to hit him in the face, but failed again.

"Go ahead and hit me." Tao Yuan looked at her and said, "Even if you smash my face, my chance won't become yours. With all due respect, someone like you will never have a chance to become famous in this lifetime."

"Hua Xi, let's go. The general manager is still waiting to see the contract." Liu Yong didn't go far away, but stood not far away watching. He thought Tao Yuan should have vented enough, so he called him.

The newcomers standing aside didn't dare to speak until Tao Yuan and Liu Yong left, and Li Qiao shouted and strode away. Only then did they dare to discuss in a low voice.

"Hua Xi actually got the role of Shui Junyao! I heard that Shui Junyao is the most important supporting role besides the main character. How did he do it?"

"I guess it's because he's a good dancer. Although I don't know the exact plot details, doesn't the public synopsis say that Shui Junyao is a man dressed as a woman, and that there are a lot of dancing scenes?"

"I think it's possible. Hua Xi is a really good dancer. The last time we went to the audition together, he was auditioning for the dance double role. Didn't the assistant casting director even call Team Leader Liu along? I guess that's when he was chosen."

"He's so lucky. There are people who dance better than him. Why was he the one chosen?" Lin Junqi's tone was full of jealousy.

"Your jealousy is pointless. He's already signed the contract. There's no way you'll get a free pass this time. Besides, your dancing isn't as good as his."

Lin Junqi was truly envious. Before, he had looked down on Hua Xi, thinking his sickly appearance was no good, and that he just had a prettier face. Now, he wished he could be like him, looking weak and vulnerable. Maybe he could be chosen, too? Being a stand-in would be nice.

"Your name also has the character 'Jun' in it, but it's a pity that you are not destined to play Shui Junyao. Even if Hua Xi doesn't play the role, it will definitely not be your turn."

"Who's willing to play a woman? I wouldn't even bother to play one!" Lin Junqi curled his lips, looking like a sour grape.

"He's not playing a woman, he's playing a man dressed as a woman. Besides Cheng Yi's character, his character has the most emotional scenes with Zheng Xuanlin. Doesn't it say so in the synopsis? It's a three-person emotional entanglement. And gay romances are really hot right now. Maybe he'll really become famous with this role, and even gain a lot of fans. Nowadays, whether it's a couple in a drama or real life, it's easy to gain fans. Some celebrities are just commercial couples, but they still have tons of fans."

Lin Junqi felt even more sad, and he couldn't pretend that he didn't care.

"Ever since same-sex marriage became legal, the number of fans of gay couples has skyrocketed."

"Even before it was legalized, there were a lot of fans of gay couples, but they couldn't be public at the time. Now, not only are there two male celebrities who are openly dating, but there are also some who are openly married."

"Times have changed. Decades ago, even if homosexual themes were popular, who would dare to film them?"

"No matter what, I still envy Hua Xi. This person, this fate, really is all predetermined by God."

"Who says it's not? What's the point of envy?"

Before filming began, Tao Yuan not only had to familiarize himself with the script, but also practiced dancing. Shui Junyao has many dancing scenes in the play. The first scene of the first episode is when he is sent to the palace of the Great Chu Emperor and dances for Zhao Xuan in front of all the ministers. With his superb dancing skills and charming eyes, he mesmerized Zhao Xuan.

On the eve of filming, the production team announced the cast list. Although this is not the first time Xiang Qing has used a newcomer, such a unique role will inevitably arouse curiosity and discussion regardless of whether the actor is a newcomer or not. However, the fact that he is a newcomer has made netizens even more curious, discussing and speculating about how he will perform.

Tao Yuan got such an important role this time, and he did it entirely on his own, which made the company very happy. If he can seize the opportunity and use this role to gain some popularity or a certain degree of fame, the company is ready to focus on promoting him.

Although Tao Yuan was still a newcomer, the company felt that he needed to show his strength, so they assigned him three assistants and a luxury limousine. If your company doesn't value an actor, how can you expect the crew and the media to pay attention to him?

Among the other newcomers, some were selected as backup dancers and extras. Today is the first day of filming, and they also have to go to the crew together.

When they gathered downstairs at the company, they looked at the high-end nanny car with envy, wondering how long they would have to wait before they could ride in such a car to go to the crew?

After Tao Yuan went downstairs, he got into the nanny car with Liu Yong and his assistant. Liu Yong was now responsible for taking care of Tao Yuan, and the newcomers were already under the management of someone else.

After the nanny car drove away, the newlyweds, at the call of the new team leader, got on the minibus that took them to the crew.

Weekly dramas are filmed and broadcast at the same time, so you don’t need to live on the set, but sometimes you need to be on call to make up for the shots.

The first scene is a grand one, where Shui Junyao performs a dance in public.

Tao Yuan put on a veil after putting on makeup. In this scene, he wants to show his dance and eyes, making the audience curious like Zhao Xuan about what she looks like under the veil.

After Xiang Qing circled around him twice, she nodded with satisfaction and said to him, "This scene will definitely be very hard to shoot. You will have a scene with Zheng Xuanlin tonight, and that scene is also very important. You must persevere and give your best performance."

Tao Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

For weekly dramas, there are no unimportant scenes. Only one episode is broadcast per week, so each episode must have a compact plot and leave suspense, otherwise it will not retain the audience.

The first scene was the most difficult for Tao Yuan, as he had to perform this difficult dance in just one take. Besides long shots from various angles, he also had to shoot close-ups and close-ups, and even had to drop from wires and perform some moves in the air.

Even Tao Yuan felt very tired after filming from morning to afternoon. If it were someone else, they would probably collapse from exhaustion.

After he finished dancing in the lotus, he put on his coercion, flew to the bottom of the steps, and then filmed the close-up dance in front of Zhao Xuan.

Just now, dancing in the lotus had showcased her amazing dancing skills, but now, in this close-up dance, she wanted to show the allure of her eyes. Wearing a veil, she seduced Emperor Zhao Xuan with her eyes, essentially wanting the audience to feel seduced.

When Xiang Qing was a director, she was notoriously strict, demanding every tiny detail to be spot on. Many actors were afraid of her because she had a fiery temper and would curse at people if things weren't done right.

Although not all of her dramas are hits, most of them have high ratings. So even though she is criticized, there are still many actors who are vying to act in her dramas.

Xiang Qing was very satisfied with the footage Tao Yuan had filmed. The staff, who had been prepared to hear her curse, wondered if the guide had changed her ways. With such a grand occasion and such a complex filming process, it was a miracle she hadn't cursed.

All close-ups of Tao Yuan's eyes were taken facing the camera. Only when the two of them were looking at each other, his eyes were looking at Zheng Xuanlin.

Zheng Xuanlin sat atop the dragon throne with a commanding presence. He had just won a victory, conquering a small neighboring kingdom. As a token of submission and to curry his favor, the other kingdom had presented its princess to him as a tribute. He was filled with pride, a mixture of triumph and the elation of a conqueror.

But gradually, his attention was drawn to the dancer, and their eyes met. Those charming eyes, sparkling with light, seemed to contain all kinds of charm.

Tao Yuan was covered from neck to toe with a thin fabric, even his face was half hidden. But even so, the alluring temptation he exuded, between his dance steps and in his eyes, gradually pulled people into the abyss.

Zheng Xuanlin sat in a superior position, his initially admiring gaze gradually turning into fascination. His eyes met Tao Yuan's, and then their gazes intertwined. Even at a short distance, the two seemed to have ignited love with their gazes.

Zheng Xuanlin couldn't even tell whether he was so fascinated because he was too immersed in the role, or he was really fascinated by those charming eyes.

After the dance, Zhao Xuan waved his sleeves and said domineeringly, "I accept this princess. Send the messenger back to tell your king that paying tribute on time will ensure peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The envoy bowed and saluted.

The big scene finally ended, and the staff quickly packed up and prepared to move on.

Zheng Xuanlin walked down the stairs and said to Tao Yuan, "Thank you for your hard work."

Tao Yuan looked up at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, senior."

Zheng Xuanlin kept staring into Tao Yuan's eyes. He had been acting for many years and had acted opposite many actors, but this was the first time he had seen such a dramatic look in Tao Yuan's eyes. And he was a newcomer. It was true that for some people, some things are innately good, even without any learning. This was an enviable talent.

"What's wrong?" Tao Yuan saw that he was staring at her and thought that she was wearing a veil, so what was there to see?

"It's nothing. There's still some time before the next scene. You've been dancing all day and must be tired. Go to the car and rest for a while." Zheng Xuanlin said.

Tao Yuan nodded. He was indeed a little tired and needed to recover as soon as possible, otherwise he might not be able to shoot the next scene in the best condition.

Before Tao Yuan could leave, Xiang Qing walked over and said to them, "You both performed very well today, especially Hua Xi, who exceeded my expectations. After post-production, the final editing will surely be fantastic. I can already foresee that this drama will be a huge success."

Xiang Qing was unusually excited. Tao Yuan wanted to hear her out, but Zheng Xuanlin said, "Let's talk about this after the show airs. We still have the next scene to shoot. Let Hua Xi get some rest. He's been dancing all day and must be exhausted."

"Right, right, right," Xiang Qing was so excited that she forgot about it for a moment. Zheng Xuanlin reminded her, "While we're getting ready, go take a break."

"Where are your agent and assistant?" Xiang Qing turned around to look for them.

"Here, guide, is there anything I can help you with?" As soon as the filming was over, Liu Yong came over with his assistant. Seeing Tao Yuan talking to Zheng Xuanlin and Xiang Qing, he did not get closer.

"Take him to the car to rest quickly. It's best to let him take a nap and don't let him be disturbed." Xiang Qing said to Liu Yong.

"Okay, I understand, guide." Liu Yong nodded seriously.

After watching Tao Yuan leave, Xiang Qing turned to Zheng Xuanlin and said, "When did you become so compassionate to women? I've never seen you so concerned about other actors before. And before, you said you didn't want him to act no matter what, but now you're defending him so much?"

"I've never filmed your movie before, so how do you know that I haven't felt sorry for other actors?" Zheng Xuanlin said.

"Your agent has complained to me a lot, saying that you constantly reveal your true colors. Do you know how hard she works to maintain your image? If you were willing to take the initiative to care about other actors, she wouldn't have to work so hard, doing so many things, and then saying it was all arranged by you."

Zheng Xuanlin's agent has a good relationship with Xiang Qing and often complains to Xiang Qing about how difficult Zheng Xuanlin is to serve and how bad his personality is.

"How did you find him?" Zheng Xuanlin asked curiously. "It's not easy to find someone who looks like a woman when wearing women's clothes and a man when taking them off."

"Luckily, just when I was feeling worried, he came to audition for the role of dance double. I had him put on the costume and dance a few numbers, and I realized his eyes were very expressive. This role is full of inner drama, so it doesn't matter if his dialogue skills are not so good. He can practice slowly and give him more guidance. But to get the eyes right, you need a strong ability to understand."

"You are really lucky to have him and I act in this drama. This drama will definitely be a hit." Zheng Xuanlin said confidently.

"You and him?" Xiang Qing couldn't help but tease him again, "You and Cheng Yi are the protagonists. Even though Cheng Yi appeared a little later, your relationship is the main plot of the show. How did it become you and him?"

"Are you done yet?" Zheng Xuanlin was helpless and speechless. "He's already married, can you please stop dragging him and me together?"

"I got a little news," Xiang Qing whispered, "I heard he's not happy in his marriage and is planning a divorce. It's just that he's keeping his marriage secret and can't file for divorce publicly, otherwise the fact he's married would be exposed. He only insisted on taking the role after he knew you were going to be in it. Do you think he wants to reconcile with you?"

"I've never had a good relationship with him, so how can we repair our relationship? This stuff has been used by countless people, and I would think it's dirty if you gave it to me. Please don't say these things to disgust me." Zheng Xuanlin rolled his eyes and left.

Xiang Qing raised her eyebrows. She even mentioned the words "how many hands of goods there were". It seemed that she had really let it go.

She knew that Zheng Xuanlin was really attracted to Cheng Yi, but he concealed his family background, and Cheng Yi was an ambitious man, so the relationship between them ended up without any result.

Although she always teased him about Cheng Yi, deep down, she felt that Cheng Yi was not worthy of her cousin. If Zheng Xuanlin really still had feelings for Cheng Yi, she would still feel unhappy, so every time she heard Zheng Xuanlin disdain Cheng Yi, she felt very comfortable.

The girls who had just danced with Tao Yuan saw Tao Yuan and Zheng Xuanlin talking, looked at them from a distance, and then discussed in a low voice.

"Hey, look, that actor is talking to Actor Zheng. I heard he's also a newcomer. I'm so envious! I wish I could have a word with Actor Zheng."

"You're envious after just a few words? She'll have a lot of scenes with Actor Zheng later. I heard they even have a sex scene."

"Sex scene? I'm so shy just thinking about it!"

"It's not you who's taking the photo, why are you shy?"

"He was so lucky to get this role. A senior from our company also auditioned, and she's an A-list actress, but she didn't get the role. I heard she was super disappointed."

"Because he dances well. He and I are from the same company, and we are classmates. He was chosen after auditioning for the role of a stand-in." The newcomer from Rising said proudly.

"Just went to audition for a double and got this role directly? What kind of luck is this? It's amazing."

"You guys are from the same company, right? Then can you tell him to ask Mr. Zheng to get an autograph for us?"

"It's not good to be right now, he just talked to Actor Zheng. When he gets to know Actor Zheng better, I will definitely tell him. It should be fine."

"Really? What's your phone number? If there's any gossip about him and Actor Zheng in the future, please tell me, okay?"

"Aren't Actor Zheng and Cheng Yi a couple? Aren't they the ones with gossip? It's a pity that Cheng Yi joined the crew a little late, so we won't be able to see it."
