Chapter 37: Officially Joining the Cast of "Shining Stars" (1/2)



In the morning, Xiao He was packing his things to leave when he heard He Junhao's excited scream: "Ahhh! That's great! It's karma! Brother Xiao, that company that cheated me has been investigated! That Manager Yu who tricked me into signing the contract was even handcuffed and taken away! Haha, that's so damn awesome!"

Xiao He stopped carrying his bag, turned to look at He Junhao, who was beaming with joy, and smiled slightly: "That's really great!"

"This is so gratifying! Let him do bad things, let him exploit his employees!"

As He Junhao spoke, he cursed Manager Yu, as if everyone thought that this incident was caused by one of the programmers working for Manager Yu.

This shows how despicable this company is.

Xiao He, who orchestrated all of this, simply smiled and made no attempt to claim credit. He echoed He Junhao's words for a few moments before bidding farewell to the others.

After getting into the car, Xiao He arrived at the film crew of "Shining Stars".

"Shining Stars" is a joint production of multiple companies including Fruit Video, Jiaxing Entertainment, and Taidong Entertainment, with an investment of up to 140 million yuan and a top-tier cast. It is directed by Wen Hongyuan, written by Tan Yuan, and stars Zhang Mo from Taidong Entertainment as the male lead and Su Shengxi from Jiaxing Entertainment as the second male lead. The plot mainly revolves around the storylines of the characters played by these two actors.

These days, it's almost become standard practice for many dramas to pair veteran actors with newcomers, or for established actors to mentor popular stars. This drama is a classic example of such a setup. The male lead, Zhang Mo, is 42 years old and has already won the Best Actor award at the Michelle Reis Awards. He is currently recognized in the industry as a talented actor with considerable skill.

The second male lead, Su Shengxi, is a popular idol who has transitioned into acting and singing. He has a large following and countless fans, but so far he has no notable works and is in an awkward transitional period. He urgently needs this spy drama to prove himself.

As for the female lead, it is Yiman'er, who is in the same company as Zhang Mo. She and Su Shengxi play a couple in the drama.

But here comes the most dramatic part: according to what Xiao He knew before, Yi Man'er and Xu Youyou were rivals, and Xu Youyou and Su Shengxi were secretly dating. But now Yi Man'er is going to play Su Shengxi's girlfriend in the drama...

Xiao He said: "See this pot of porridge? Hurry up and drink it while the chaos is at hand."

He admitted that after learning about the situation, he did have a "let's watch the show" mentality.

There's nothing we can do about it; humans just have this natural inclination to gossip.

After Xiao He found Producer Ma, signed the contract, and then went to the dressing room to fix his look, he came out to encounter a scene from the underworld—

Su Shengxi and Yiman'er sat on opposite sides of the farthest corner of the set, their expressions indifferent as they studied their scripts. The activities of the other people on set were also clearly separated, and their movements could even be described as cautious. Only director Wen Hongyuan was still explaining the scene to Zhang Mo, looking like he was working seriously.

Xiao He looked around and couldn't help but rub his arms.

Ouch, it's so cold!

It's no wonder winter is almost here; the air is chilly.

"Xiao He, you've arrived? Come, let me introduce you to everyone—"

At this moment, Director Wen called out to Xiao He and gestured for him to come over.

Xiao He obediently stepped forward.

"Ahem, everyone, let me introduce you. This is our new actor, Xiao He, who will be playing Meng Zetian."

As the director spoke, the people on set applauded very respectfully.

Xiao He looked around and didn't recognize anyone, so he could only nod and smile politely.

Su Shengxi didn't take Xiao He, a minor actor, seriously. He clapped along in a friendly manner, but quickly left under the pretext of making a phone call. Liu Rulan, who was beside him, carefully looked at Xiao He and showed a thoughtful expression.
