Chapter 54 I'm looking forward to that day
As the date of the exhibition approaches, more and more paint is needed, and Cen Wan is unusually busy.
On the weekend, Jiang Yuan invited her to visit the set.
The two hadn't seen each other for half a month since Jiang Yuan joined the crew. On Sunday, Cen Wan took a taxi to the crew.
Jiang Yuan gave her a bear hug as soon as they met: "Wow, Wanwan, I miss you so much. If you don't come to see me, I'm going to die here!"
Cen Wan handed her the coffee and cake she had brought and said with a smile, "How can it be so exaggerated?"
Jiang Yuan took a sip of coffee and couldn't help but complain, "As expected, the bigger the star, the harder it is to please. Do you know how excited I was when I found out Qin Yanxiu was going to be in the role? I felt like my baby was going to be famous, and more people would see it. I was going to reach the pinnacle of my life and live in a big house."
"But he's really too picky and causes a lot of trouble."
"I've already gone through the script from beginning to end at least ten times, and I have to revise it every week, with last-minute changes every day. Look at me, I can barely hide the dark circles under my eyes! I've never seen anything so difficult..."
"Yuanyuan," Cen Wan suddenly bumped her with her shoulder. Jiang Yuan looked bewildered. "I haven't finished scolding you yet. What's wrong?"
Cen Wan gestured for her to look aside. Jiang Yuan turned around and saw Qin Yanxiu leaning against the side, his amorous peach blossom eyes slightly raised at the corners, a smile on his lips. "I didn't know I was so difficult in the eyes of screenwriter Jiang?"
Jiang Yuan: “…”
It's embarrassing.
The air froze for a few seconds.
Jiang Yuan took a sip of coffee and handed over the other cup: "Hello, what a coincidence, Teacher Qin is out for some fresh air too. Would you like some coffee?"
Qin Yanxiu raised his eyebrows slightly and watched her pretend quietly.
Jiang Yuan laughed dryly twice, withdrew his hand awkwardly, and nudged Cen Wan with his elbow.
Cen Wan greeted Qin Yanxiu with a smile, "Mr. Qin, long time no see."
Qin Yanxiu nodded and said seriously, "Ms. Cen."
After a few pleasantries, the assistant announced that the meeting was about to begin. Cen Wan wanted to go to the side to wait for Jiang Yuan, but was stopped.
"You've never seen a movie before, why don't you go and take a look?"
Cen Wan hesitated for half a second: "Okay."
She was indeed curious about the set and the crew. Jiang Yuan's last play was far away from Nancheng, so she had never been there.
Cen Wan followed Jiang Yuan and sat behind the monitor. The director turned around and glanced: "Isn't this the lady I met last time?"
Jiang Yuan explained, "Yes, she came to see me. She was curious about what filming was like, so I showed her."
The director thought of the time at the villa, and since they knew Qin Yanxiu and Shen Yixiao, he just let them go.
This scene was performed by Qin Yanxiu and is an indoor scene.
He was wearing a gray home suit, his face was pale and delicate, like a broken doll, his lips were crimson, and his smile was terrifying and creepy.
Only then did Cen Wan remember that the hero of Jiang Yuan's novel had multiple personalities.
She had never seen Qin Yanxiu act in a play before, but now she was sitting there and watching it, and she found his acting very contagious.
She whispered to Jiang Yuan, "Your big villa is just around the corner."
Jiang Yuan stared at Qin Yanxiu on the screen without blinking. That delicate face was really suitable for playing such a perverted role, and it was worth it for her to stay up late every day to edit the script.
"Okay, cut!" the director said, holding the intercom. "Prepare for the next scene."
"Director Liu, that extra has a facial allergy and can't come."
Director Liu frowned: "Then find someone else, don't you have any backup options?"
The assistant director was embarrassed: "This role only has one shot, no..."
"Let others try."
After watching for a long time, the director was still not satisfied. This character only appeared for a few seconds, and even only his figure and profile were shown, but he was like a white moonlight.
This drama is aiming for awards, so we can't be careless at all.
The director was just worrying when Qin Yanxiu raised his eyebrows: "Isn't there someone who is good-looking and elegant already?"
Everyone followed his gaze and looked over. Cen Wan: “???”
Jiang Yuan suddenly realized: "Yes, Wanwan can definitely do it."
"I can't act." Cen Wan waved her hands quickly.
The director stared at Cen Wan's face for a few seconds and said, "She's the one!"
Cen Wan: "But I really can't..."
"It doesn't matter. There are no lines and my face won't be shown. Just take a few shots of his back and profile."
Jiang Yuan had already started asking for her wages: "Director, with this face, you can't be considered an ordinary extra, you have to be considered a special guest."
Director: “No problem!”
"Wanwan, it would be perfect if you could appear in my work!"
So, Cen Wan was forced to do the job.
The staff took her to change clothes, and Jiang Yuan accompanied her: "Don't be nervous, just pick some shots when the time comes."
The filming went more smoothly than Cen Wan had imagined. She only needed to perform a few poses according to the director's instructions.
After the filming, the producer extended an olive branch to her: "Are you really not considering a career in the entertainment industry? Just based on this face, I can make you a top star!"
Cen Wan shook her head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have no interest in the entertainment industry."
Jiang Yuan also took a lot of photos with his phone while standing by: "She's obviously good-looking, but she has to rely on talent."
Cen Wan smiled and said, "Are you talking about yourself?"
Jiang Yuan raised her red lips slightly: "I said we, we."
There was a shot of Qin Yanxiu and Cen Wan in the same frame. He asked his assistant for the photo, admired it for a minute, and then sent it out.
[Ms. Cen came to visit the set, but unfortunately she only stayed for half a day. Next time I will definitely let you know in advance.]
He put away his phone, a smile of success on his lips.
Let you threaten me, just be jealous!
…
The temperature in South City dropped sharply in November. Cen Wan has always been afraid of the cold, so she put on a down jacket early.
I only take off my coat and wear the sweater underneath when I'm in the studio.
Xiao Lin stretched and pounded his sore shoulders. "When I first came here, I was bored as hell. In the past month, I've been working overtime every day to catch up on the progress. I must take a good rest after this project is finished."
Cen Wan was clearing the table. "It's almost there. It feels like it's coming much sooner than we thought."
"Yeah, I haven't seen Miss Jiang recently. I guess she's been in seclusion writing. Every time she comes, it's her agent who's so aggressive."
"Okay, I'll give you annual leave after this."
"Yeah, Sister Wan, you're so nice."
As the two were talking, there were two knocks on the door. Jiang Yunlan, who had not been seen for a long time, pushed the door open and came in with two invitations in his hand.
"Ms. Cen, Xiaolin, thank you for your hard work during this period. The exhibition is already in preparation, and the first show is scheduled for December 1st. You must come."
"Of course." Cen Wan took it with a smile.
This is also a project they completed together, so they must go and see the results.
Jiang Yunlan had an ambiguous smile on her face: "That's good, I'm looking forward to that day."
