Very Happy

Li Zhao is a poor, 20-year-old actor who only thinks of where his next meal is coming from. After growing up in a child only facility, Li Zhao has taken on a very optimistic personality even while ...

Chapter 29 Oh Wow

"Brother Zhao, we have some interesting news." After Zhao Junnan vented his anger, his personal assistant whispered, "Song Yu, who is in the same crew as Li Zhao, is a good friend of Li Zhao on the surface, but in fact, the relationship between the two is very bad in private. Maybe we can use Song Yu to fight against him. You are a popular idol star, and Li Zhao is just an 18th-tier web drama actor. If you deal with him in person, it will give him face. If the crew of "Tian Ge" finds out, it will not be good for you."

"Don't people outside say that the two are good brothers?" Another assistant said, "Not long ago, Li Zhao registered on Weibo, and Song Yu was the first artist in the crew of "The Domineering Female CEO" to follow him, and it even became a hot search."

"That trending search was bought by Song Yu's team." The life assistant sneered: "I have a friend who worked in the crew of "The Domineering Female CEO" and said that Song Yu made things difficult for Li Zhao everywhere. Even the role of the male lead was left by Song Yu. Now that the show is aired, Li Zhao has become popular, and Song Yu has been called a pretentious person by netizens. Can Song Yu be happy?"

"That's not right. If their relationship was really that bad, why did Li Zhao help him clarify the negative news about Song Yu?" Another assistant still felt that there was something wrong: "Could it be that he is a saint?"

"That's because you don't know. Some time ago, Song Yu's team was looking for resources suitable for Li Zhao." The life assistant explained: "Even if they are enemies, they can temporarily put aside their prejudices and discuss cooperation when there are enough benefits. Li Zhao recently signed with Strawberry Entertainment. Maybe it was Song Yu's team who made the connection."

Another assistant said, "A rich second-generation like Song Yu wouldn't help his enemy sign a contract with a big company just to calm down public opinion online...right?" Seeing his colleague's face gradually darkening, the assistant's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he just shut up.

"Let's go to the crew of Tian Ge and see for ourselves first." Zhao Junnan calmed down and returned to his usual gentlemanly demeanor. He became famous at the age of eighteen. Later, with the rapid development of the entertainment industry, he was gradually squeezed out of the first-line ranks by the new generation of actors and remained silent for ten years.

There are so many artists in the circle, but only a few of them become famous. It is too difficult to become famous, but too easy to fall. "Xia Jun" is his work that once again brought him to the top, and he will never allow any flaws to appear.

Zhao Junnan and Director Yang had a friendship in their early years. This time, "Xia Jun" became a big hit across the country, and Zhao Junnan was willing to accept Director Yang's invitation to make a friendly appearance in a role in the play. For Director Yang, it was a pleasant surprise. So as soon as Zhao Junnan arrived at the crew, he was warmly received by the entire crew.

In just half a day, praises about Zhao Junnan's friendliness, modesty, and professionalism spread throughout the entire crew.

The person who was most unhappy about this was Lu Hao, the male lead of "Tian Ge". Lu Hao and Zhao Junnan are actors who debuted at the same time. They look similar, but their experiences of becoming famous are different.

Lu Hao has gradually developed to his current status, but Zhao Junnan became famous as soon as he debuted, but then fell into obscurity. After Zhao Junnan became popular again, she snatched away Lu Hao's endorsement of a luxury brand watch, so the two studios were not very happy about it privately.

Approachable, friendly and without airs?

Lu Hao sneered in his heart. When Zhao Junnan first became famous, he acted like a big shot, beat and scolded his assistants, and even groped the actresses. If it weren't for these things, he wouldn't have become so unpopular later.

The entertainment industry has really seen a new group of people making their way around. A scumbag like Zhao Junnan has even started to pretend to be a gentleman.

"Brother Hao." Just when Lu Hao was feeling unhappy, a familiar voice rang in his ears. He looked up and saw that it was Li Zhao, a new actor who played the second male lead in the play. He pointed to the empty seat next to him and said, "It's Xiao Li. Your part hasn't started yet. Sit down and take a rest for a while."

"Thank you, Brother Hao." Li Zhao sat down next to him, took out the script from the pocket of his winter coat and started reading. Lu Hao took a casual glance and saw that the script was covered with dense annotations, so he did not disturb Li Zhao.

"Li Zhao, long time no see." Zhao Junnan's arrival interrupted the peace between the two.

Lu Hao glanced at Li Zhao with a somewhat indifferent look: "Xiao Li, do you know Teacher Zhao?"

Zhao Junnan smiled gently and spoke first: "I met Xiao Li on the set when we were filming "Xia Jun". At that time, I saw that Li Zhao had talent and was planning to recommend him to play the role of the young master in "Prayer". Later, some other things happened and this thing didn't happen. I have always felt guilty."

Hearing this, Lu Hao's face changed slightly. The actor who played the young master in the "Prayer" crew was his junior in the same company, and he was also recommended by him.

"Hello, Teacher Zhao." Li Zhao put down the script and greeted Zhao Junnan obediently, then smiled innocently: "I didn't expect that you have done so much behind the scenes. I'm sorry that my agent didn't tell me."

Zhao Junnan smiled and said, "Don't blame your agent. It was me who didn't tell him. I was planning to give you a surprise after we had finalized the deal, but I didn't expect the role to be taken by someone else."

"But luck is everything in this industry. If you had played the role of a young master, you wouldn't have had time to film "The Overbearing Female Boss." Zhao Junnan looked at Lu Hao meaningfully and said, "People who are destined to be famous will become famous. People who are not famous will only be able to survive even if they try their best."

Lu Hao: “…”

Damn, he felt that this hypocrite was making indirect accusations, but he had no evidence!

Song Yu, who happened to pass by, had the same idea as Lu Hao at this moment. He stopped and turned to look at Zhao Junnan. Who was this idiot scolding?

"Even if you can be popular for a while, it's useless. What if you are like Teacher Zhao, popular for one year but unpopular for ten years? That's pretty miserable." Song Yu said in a sarcastic tone while wearing a costume: "Don't you think this is the truth, Teacher Zhao?"

"This kid must be Song Yu, right?" Zhao Junnan seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Song Yu's words, and smiled tolerantly at Song Yu: "I saw your role as Zhou Qinan in "The Domineering Female CEO". It was pretty good, very spiritual."

"Um, Mr. Zhao..." Li Zhao blinked his clear and innocent eyes: "The character played by Brother Song is called Zhou Qibei."

"Ahem." Lu Hao faked a cough. Seeing Li Zhao's ignorant look, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Li, Mr. Zhao is very busy, so it's normal for him to remember the wrong character's name. Next time you encounter such a thing, there's no need to remind me specifically."

"Okay." Li Zhao nodded and turned to apologize to Zhao Junnan: "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhao, I'm young and ignorant, and I can't speak. Please forgive me."

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, Xiao Li is still a child, he doesn't have any bad intentions, you must not take his words to heart." Lu Hao put his hand on Li Zhao's shoulder: "This child is good in everything, but his character is too honest."

Zhao Junnan smiled: "Li Zhao kindly reminded me, why would I be angry?"

child? !

Do you have a twenty-year-old child at home?

Zhao Junnan glanced at Li Zhao suspiciously, and saw Li Zhao giving him a dazzlingly bright smile. This smile made the anger in his heart burn fiercely.

Does Li Zhao really not understand, or is he pretending to be naive?

"I knew that Teacher Zhao was the most generous." Li Zhao smiled with his eyes curved: "I didn't expect that we would work together again. It's such a coincidence."

Zhao Junnan smiled, but her hands, hidden under her costume, were clasped tightly together.

"Heh." Song Yu rolled his eyes at Li Zhao. Not wanting to look at Li Zhao's silly look any longer, he turned and left.

Half an hour later, it was Li Zhao and Song Yu's turn to act against each other. Zhao Junnan sat beside them, observing the two with a smile on his face.

"Teacher Zhao, Li Zhao is a pretty good actor." Director Yang thought Zhao Junnan and Li Zhao were good friends, so he took the initiative to praise Li Zhao: "There is a role in a big-budget movie recently that is quite suitable for him. I plan to push him to try it."

Zhao Junnan smiled and said, "Director Yang is still training new talents as always. It is lucky for young actors in the industry to meet you."

"We are all working hard to make the future of the entertainment industry better." Director Yang smiled and waited for the two young actors to get into the right state before starting filming.

"Your idea is good, but Li Zhao is not a professional actor after all. He is OK in TV dramas, but his acting skills may not be enough for the big screen." Zhao Junnan sighed, "If he is criticized, it will do more harm than good. I think we can train him for another two years."

Director Yang stared at Zhao Junnan for a few seconds, then smiled and nodded: "What you said makes sense."

In the play, Song Yu and Li Zhao are both enemies and friends. They originally disliked each other, but later as the country fell into turmoil, they began to grow and learned to appreciate each other.

However, it is easy to shoot scenes of mutual hostility, but when it comes to scenes of mutual sympathy, Song Yu’s eye acting is often not up to par.

"Stop! Teacher Song, you should have an appreciation for Li Zhao now, but your eyes are not yet in place. Let's do it again." Director Yang shouted with a loudspeaker: "Teacher Li, please accompany Teacher Song again."

"Stop, do it again."

"Again."

Zhao Junnan glanced at Director Yang, who was already furious, and stood up and returned to his own lounge.

"Brother Nan, it seems that Song Yu and Li Zhao really don't get along." The personal assistant brought him tea and said, "I heard that the previous shot of the two people fighting went smoothly, but today when we shot the scene of the two people appreciating each other, there were continuous jams. Director Yang, who has a good temper, was so angry at the two of them that his face turned pale."

“Do you want to…”

"No need." Zhao Junnan's face was gloomy: "That Song Yu is not a good person either. He is a newcomer who has just entered the circle and has no manners in front of his seniors."

"He's a second-generation rich man. His family is willing to use money to support him, and other people in the circle don't want to mess with him." The assistant didn't expect that Zhao Junnan would hate Song Yu in just half a day: "How about we deal with Li Zhao first?"

"What is the second generation of rich people in this circle?!" Zhao Junnan smashed the cup in his hand to the ground, and the boiling hot tea splashed everywhere, filling the room with the fragrance of tea.

"Teacher Zhao." There was a knock on the door, and Li Zhao's bright smiling face appeared behind the door: "Your assistant didn't close the door just now, I will help you close it."

With a click, the half-open door was closed in front of Zhao Junnan and his personal assistant.

Li Zhao closed the door of Zhao Junnan's lounge and returned to his own lounge, where he saw Song Yu sulking in a chair because filming was not going well.

When she saw him come in, she asked unhappily, "What are you doing in the lounge next door?"

"It's okay." Li Zhao touched his chest: "I just did something insignificant. I feel that the red scarf on my chest is brighter."

Song Yu: “…”

Damn, I'm really sick.

In the lounge next door, the life assistant secretly glanced at Zhao Junnan, whose face was as dark as ink, and sighed in his heart.

Oh no, it’s over now.

The author has something to say: Zhao Zhao is still a child, Zhao Zhao knows nothing.
