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



The actors from Taidong Entertainment were particularly friendly to Xiao He.

"I've heard Liu Zehang mention you before."

Contrary to Xiao He's expectations, Iman was not as aloof as she had appeared; she even took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.

However, upon hearing Iman'er's words, Xiao He immediately understood.

I first met Liu Zehang from the movie "Killing Life," who works for Taidong Entertainment.

Although he had already gone to another film crew, Xiao He still kept in touch with a few people he knew from the "Killing Life" crew, and even joined a small group. Just yesterday, Xiao He heard from Liu Zehang that the filming of "Killing Life" had been completed and was now in the post-production stage.

However, since the real-life inspiration for "Killing Life" has been found dead, the police have reopened the case and seem to be investigating something. So the case is in a very delicate state. The director is very worried that their project will be cut short before it is completed. He is now working overtime to catch up on the schedule and is determined to make the movie and release it before the higher-ups stop it.

When Xiao He heard this, his heart sank.

He's been living off his past success with the role of "Mu Ze," but he's been eagerly awaiting the official debut of "Zhu Laosan."

If he were to die suddenly halfway through, all those two months of his hard work would have been for nothing.

Liu Zehang clearly shared this concern, but everyone encouraged each other and hoped that the new movie would be released smoothly.

During the conversation, Xiao He casually mentioned that he was going to rejoin the crew, and to his surprise, Liu Zehang remembered it and gave him a heads-up in advance.

Xiao He was somewhat touched and planned to thank Liu Zehang properly later. At the same time, he politely replied to Yi Man'er, "Yes, thank you. I'm new here and still have a lot to learn from Teacher Yi. I'm sorry to have troubled you during this time."

"Oh, it's okay, just call me Sister Yi, no need to be so polite."

Unlike Xu Youyou's innocent and delicate style, Yiman'er has a bright and flamboyant appearance with very deep features. Paired with her arched willow-leaf eyebrows and the wavy hair unique to that era, along with this stylish Western-style dress, she looks intellectual and elegant.

Xiao He couldn't help but think of the comments Iman'er's fans made about her.

—It was a stunning red rose, a timeless classic, bright and beautiful.

It has to be said that the fans' comments are not just based on fan bias; Iman is indeed the female celebrity with the best temperament and appearance that he has seen recently.

During their conversation, Iman introduced Xiao He to the other members of the crew. With Iman acting as an intermediary, the crew members looked at Xiao He with much more seriousness and no longer treated him as a newcomer without a company or background.

Xiao He laughed while inwardly clicking his tongue in amazement.

Previously, he could handle his own affairs even without an agent or assistant when working on film sets. Moreover, in previous film sets, the big-name actors were very low-key. Veteran actors like Zhuo Jianhua and Bao Wei almost always did things on their own. Apart from Liu Zehang, who had a small assistant, "washed-up child stars" like Pu Rong had long been working independently. Therefore, Xiao He had never seen such a large-scale operation before.

In this large production crew, almost all the actors, regardless of their status or fame, brought their own entourage.

Those with less fame only bring one assistant, while those with more fame, like Su Shengxi and Yiman'er, bring an entire team of more than ten people, almost all of whom have corresponding job titles and work entirely for their employer.

In comparison, Xiao He, a newcomer without an agency, really seems out of place here.

However, since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it. Xiao He was there to film a movie, so there was no need for him to build good relationships with everyone here.

After following Iman'er around for a while, Xiao He politely declined her invitation and found a small corner to sit down quietly.
