Chapter 38 The Agent's Invitation (2/2)



"Click—"

Wen Hongyuan called out, his serious expression finally turning into a gentle one.

"Okay, this one is approved."

Suddenly, the once quiet office became lively again. Staff members stepped forward and began to tidy up the things on the desk, preparing for the next scene. Xiao He released Su Shengxi's hand, nodded slightly to him, and then turned to get some water.

Su Shengxi stared at Xiao He's departing figure, his expression extremely solemn.

"Little Su—"

Wen Hongyuan called out to him.

Su Shengxi immediately put on a smile and walked up to Wen Hongyuan.

"Look at this..."

Wen Hongyuan started talking non-stop about the play to Su Shengxi again.

Xiao He walked to the side, and Iman offered him a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you, Sister Yi."

Xiao He accepted the gift and thanked him.

Iman's face showed a hint of worry: "You've really offended Su Shengxi these past few days."

Xiao He: "Huh?"

Did I offend Su Shengxi?

As Xiao He drank water, he recalled, "It seems... no, it was just normal rehearsals, right? Could it be that he took the character's emotions to heart and started hating me too?"

During this period, he did have more scenes with Su Shengxi. Meng Zetian, played by him, was full of suspicion towards Bai Mingchuan, played by Su Shengxi. He relentlessly pursued Bai Mingchuan's suspicions and even set traps for Bai Mingchuan, causing the inexperienced Bai Mingchuan a lot of trouble and requiring the male lead, Li Shuo, to save the day on several occasions.

If Bai Mingchuan's emotions are taken into account, then it's normal for Su Shengxi to hate him.

“Of course not. His acting is superficial. How could he possibly empathize with the character?” Iman shrugged. “On the contrary, since you joined the crew, he has often had to do NG scenes with you. You’ve made him lose face.”

Xiao He's eyes widened: "Huh? But when he acted with Teacher Zhang, he had even more takes."

“Those are senior actors, how can you compare to them?” Iman’er said bluntly. “Su Shengxi is the biggest star in this drama, and he has capital backing him. Apart from those senior actors, the other actors deliberately give way to him. It’s practically become an unspoken rule.”

"ha?"

Xiao He had not expected this situation to arise.

He's a complete newbie, he really doesn't know anything about this!

"So you really didn't know anything about this." Iman looked at Xiao He with pity. "That's right, you don't have an agent, and I imagine you haven't encountered this situation on previous film sets, so no one reminded you."

Iman is currently in Group B, where she is being filmed by the assistant director. She is unaware of the filming situation in Group A and only learned about it from the makeup artist when she was getting her makeup done earlier.

Xiao He was speechless: "Whatever, he can't just kick me out, can he?"

To be honest, Xiao He is not afraid of Su Shengxi at all now. After all, he was the one who exposed Su Shengxi and Xu Youyou's relationship. Why would he be afraid of a spineless man who has no responsibility?

hehe.

Iman hadn't expected Xiao He to be so confident. She looked him up and down, wondering where he got his confidence from. "Then you'd better be careful yourself."

Having said all she could say, she had done her utmost.

In the days that followed, Xiao He did not notice anything particularly amiss.

Their filming schedule was very tight, and the workload was higher than usual. Xiao He was on guard for a few days, but he didn't find out that Su Shengxi was trying to mess with him. On the contrary, Su Shengxi left as soon as he finished filming recently, as if he was busy with other things.

Xiao He was somewhat puzzled, but he did not let his guard down. Instead, after a certain performance, he took the initiative to open his cheat code panel.

The long-tail effect of Muze still exists. After accumulating for this period of time, Xiao He has five more chances to draw a prize.

Thinking about how his lifespan had been reduced recently due to the lack of "swords," Xiao He felt a pang of regret for a moment, but still went all in.

Don't expect any new criminal skills; he really has little interest in crime. If possible, give him more lifespan points!

O God of the System who controls destiny, look upon the child!
