Chapter 7: Strange



The heroine Qiao Qiangwei in "The Rose Blossoms" is played by a second-tier actress, Chen Weiwei, while the hero Dan Xiangming is also played by a second-tier actor, Zhou Zibin.

Chen Weiwei debuted in an idol drama. Within five years of her debut, she advanced from a newcomer to a second-tier artist, and is one of the top second-tier artists. As long as she is given another opportunity, she will be able to break through to the first-tier. In Chen Weiwei's view, "Rose Blossoms", directed by Yan Kuan, is the opportunity she has been waiting for for a long time. She was chosen by Yan Kuan because of her pure and sweet image and became the heroine.

Although Zhou Zibin is also a second-tier actor, he is much less famous than Chen Weiwei. The reason he was chosen by Yan Kuan this time is because his appearance is very similar to the bad boy type of the male lead in the crew. In addition, he had previously acted in a movie directed by Yan Kuan, so Yan Kuan knew that he had good acting skills and finally chose him.

In fact, compared to the male lead, Zhou Zibin pays more attention to the role of the male supporting actor, because this role is so glorious, he is good-looking, good at studying, and everything is good. He is even better than the leading actor he plays. If his role was not more than that of the supporting actor, and if the female lead in the end also chose the male lead Dan Xiangming played by him, he would have thought that the supporting actor was the male lead in the play.

It's a pity that his image and temperament don't match the role of the supporting actor, and no matter how he acts, he just can't portray that feeling, that flavor, so he gave up in the end.

Because of Wang Wentao's incident, the crew delayed the filming for three days. Knowing Yan Kuan's picky personality, Zhou Zibin thought Yan Kuan would choose another day or two. Unexpectedly, he found the person on the third day.

Because the first day's filming was for the heroine and the hero's scenes, Chen Weiwei came to the crew early to put on makeup. Zhou Zibin arrived later than her.

After the two of them finished putting on their makeup, they still had to wait a while before the filming began, so they sat together and chatted.

"I heard that the actor playing the supporting male role is a newcomer. I don't know what kind of newcomer he is to be so lucky to be noticed by Director Yan." Chen Weiwei, who already had a good appearance, looked even more pure and lovely after putting on makeup. When she spoke, there was a hint of envy and a hint of strangeness in her tone, which made Zhou Zibin next to her show a hint of sarcasm.

"If you want to say that someone used a backdoor, you can just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. It makes me feel bored." Zhou Zibin's handsome face was full of disdain.

Chen Weiwei took the mirror from her assistant and checked her makeup. After finding that there was no problem, she said calmly, "I didn't say anything about taking the back door. You said it yourself. Besides, Director Yan doesn't have any back doors."

"Oh, who knows! People nowadays have so many connections." Zhou Zibin hinted.

Chen Weiwei couldn't help but frowned and looked at Zhou Zibin who was sitting next to her. "Why do I feel that your words today are always thorny? Do you know that newcomer? Or does he have a grudge against you?"

"No." Zhou Zibin denied. When he heard Yan Kuan calling them, he immediately stood up, straightened his coat, and walked towards Yan Kuan.

Zhou Zibin would never say that when he arrived this morning, he accidentally heard several girls from the crew discussing the newcomer in a fanatical manner, saying that the newcomer not only looked better than him, but also had a better temperament and better acting skills than him, and other compliments. If the people those girls were talking about were first-tier stars who were higher than him, Zhou Zibin wouldn't care, because among those first-tier artists, there were indeed some who were better looking and had better acting skills than him. However, the girls were talking about a newcomer whom he had never even met. Let alone his looks and temperament, what right did those people have to compare him with a newcomer who might not even have acted in a play? What else can you say your acting is better than his? What a joke.

Chen Weiwei looked at Zhou Zibin's back as he left, handed the mirror to his assistant thoughtfully, and followed him.

"Zhou Zibin, pay attention to your eyes, your eyes." Yan Kuan becomes very sharp once he enters working mode, and is very strict with actors' acting skills. When he saw that Zhou Zibin's eyes were a little distracted when he was acting with Chen Weiwei, he immediately called out "Cut" and reminded Zhou Zibin.

"Sorry, Director Yan, I won't do it again next time." Zhao Zibin also knew that it was his own fault, so he apologized directly.

Seeing Zhou Zibin's sincere attitude, Yan Kuan just pursed his lips, said nothing more, and ordered him to do it again.

The scene filmed at this time was the second meeting between the hero played by Zhou Zibin and the heroine. The heroine, who was holding a bunch of things, did not see the hero walking in front of her because her vision was blocked, and she bumped into him in a hurry. After the two fell to the ground, an argument broke out.

"Girl, you bumped into me, do you want to just leave like that?" Zhou Zibin's acting skills are great, he brought the role of a rich young master with a bad temper to life, and this time his eyes were also on point.

"It was my fault for bumping into you, and I apologize. What else do you want?" Chen Weiwei, who plays the heroine Qiao Qiangwei, also has very good acting skills. When facing the hero Shan Xiangming, played by Zhou Zibin, she fully portrayed the heroine's innocence and straightforwardness.

Yan Kuan nodded while looking at the camera. He should be able to pass it in one go this time.

Just as Zhou Zibin grabbed Chen Weiwei's wrist with one hand and was about to hug Chen Weiwei's waist with the other hand, giving a naughty smile and preparing to tease Chen Weiwei, there was suddenly a commotion on their left side.

"Wow, so handsome, is this the one you are talking about?"

"Yes, that's him. He's the actor who plays the supporting actor. He's handsome, right?"

"There's no need to act. Looking at her appearance and temperament, she is exactly Ouyang Yu. Just play her true self."

"Yes, I heard that his acting is also very good, I don't know if it's true."

Because someone's arrival caused a commotion, the noise was not made by the crew but by the extras who played students.

Although the extras had lowered their voices, the noise of more than a dozen people talking together was loud, and the noisy sound had affected the filming. Yan Kuan immediately shouted "Cut", then stood up with an angry face and shouted at the extras: "What are you doing? Don't you know that you are filming? Don't you all want to..."

Yan Kuan's voice stopped abruptly. After seeing the handsome young man walking out of the crowd, he was surprised, "Ouyang? Didn't I tell you to come over at noon? Why are you here so early?" Because the filming of Ouyang Qianran's scene would not start until the afternoon, Yan Kuan asked Ouyang Qianran to come over at noon yesterday. He didn't expect that Ouyang Qianran would come over in the morning.

Ouyang Qianran was so excited. He got the role of the supporting actor in "The Rose Blossoms" yesterday, which made him excited all night. The system is equivalent to giving him 100 life points for free. He was able to simulate the script of "Rose Blossoms" in virtual space, and he remembered it clearly. So I also know that if I play the role of the supporting actor well, I will gain a lot of fans, which means I will gain a lot of reputation.

If he didn't choose the script himself in the virtual space, he would think that everything was arranged by the system. What does this mean? It means his good luck has begun. So today I couldn't wait and came to the crew early.

Walking to Yan Kuan's side, when he saw Yan Kuan asking questions, he said in the original owner's indifferent tone that he was used to, "Come here in advance to familiarize yourself."

Yan Kuan asked, "Have you read the script you brought back yesterday?"

Ouyang Qianran said: "I've read it and memorized the lines." What does memorized mean? Ouyang Qianran can recite them by heart now. .

Yan Kuan was brief and to the point. After yesterday's interactions, he also understood Ouyang Qianran's personality, so he didn't care. Instead, he smiled and patted Ouyang Qianran's shoulder, who was much taller than him. "Okay, since you're here, let's put on makeup and change clothes first. If the scene I'm shooting now goes smoothly, I'll start shooting yours in the next scene."

"Okay." Ouyang Qianran nodded. He Junjun behind him immediately greeted Yan Kuan, and then walked towards the dressing room with Ouyang. Yan Kuan and the others familiarized themselves with the crew yesterday, so Ouyang Qianran and He Junjun both knew where the dressing room was.

There are three dressing rooms in the crew. The heroine and supporting actress share one, the hero and supporting actor use one, and the other is for other actors.

As soon as Ouyang Qianran left, the theater returned to normal. Yan Kuan said to Chen Weiwei and Zhou Zibin who were standing there in a daze: "Let's do that scene again and try to get it through in one go." With Ouyang Qianran's arrival, Yan Kuan seemed to be in a much better mood, and his tone was not as sharp as before.

"Is that the newcomer who plays the supporting actor? He looks really good. No wonder your words are so sharp today." Chen Weiwei looked at Zhou Zibin, who seemed to have a bad complexion, with a smile on her face, hinting at something. Because Chen Weiwei and Zhou Zibin had worked together before, they knew each other. It’s just that because of Zhou Zibin’s somewhat arrogant personality, Chen Weiwei doesn’t like Zhou Zibin very much.

Zhou Zibin looked coldly at Chen Weiwei who was smiling with gloating expression and clenched his fists. If he could not offend Chen Weiwei, he would have fought back long ago. Humph, so what if he’s good-looking? Just wait and see, he will use his acting skills to tell the newcomer that in the entertainment industry, it’s acting skills that matter, not a face.

Ouyang Qianran, who was sitting in the dressing room, didn't know that he had just arrived and someone had already been paying attention to him.

"Wow, your skin is so good, I can't even see pores when I look closely. What skin care products are you using?" Makeup artist Xiaomei has done makeup for many celebrities. Although those celebrities look glamorous and beautiful in daily life, in fact, once they take off their makeup, few of them look presentable. It was the first time she saw someone as good-looking as Ouyang Qianran, with skin so fair and smooth without a single flaw.

Being praised is a very pleasant thing. Even if the compliment is about one's appearance, Ouyang Qianran is happy. However, although he is happy in his heart, he answers the makeup artist Xiaomei's question calmly on the surface, "No."

"No? That means your skin is completely natural. I'm so envious. Oh, I don't know how to put makeup on you like this." But if you want to film a movie, you can't go without makeup, so the makeup artist Xiaomei still applied a thin layer of powder on Ouyang Qianran, and then deepened Ouyang Qianran's eyeliner. During the whole process, she kept asking Ouyang Qianran all kinds of questions, but Ouyang Qianran did not get impatient. Although he spoke little, he answered every question Xiaomei asked. This greatly improved Xiaomei's impression of Ouyang Qianran.

When I first saw Ouyang Qianran, I thought he was very cold and aloof, and thought he would be difficult to talk to. I didn't expect that he would be so easy to talk to. It's really nice to answer the questions one by one!

He Junjun, who was standing aside, felt somewhat helpless. Ouyang Qianran's aloof personality could easily offend people in the entertainment industry, but he was a young master and his personality was just like that. If you think about it, the entire Star Entertainment belonged to him, so he didn't have to worry about not having good resources. So He Junjun could only let Ouyang Qianran do what he wanted.

When Ouyang Qianran came out of the dressing room after finishing her makeup and changing her clothes, the makeup artist Xiaomei, the stylist Xiaoguo and He Junjun in the dressing room were all stunned.

The facial features are exquisite and perfect, and the most impressive one is the pair of bright and shining eyes. The eyes are as clear as the Milky Way in the universe, deep and mysterious. Once your eyes are drawn to it, you won't want to look away. The silver-white uniform with gold patterns on it highlighted his slender figure and long legs. His cold temperament was even more evident when he raised his chin slightly.
