Chapter 230 Did I tell you to leave?
The premiere of "Prisoners of Lies" was particularly grand. This drama is the company's key project this year and it is also Qin Yanxiu's first attempt at a suspense theme. The company attaches great importance to it.
The main creative staff of the TV series, including the director, producer, screenwriter, photographer, and leading actors were all present, and also invited to attend were some selected media, industry insiders, advertisers and big fans.
Xu Yousheng plays the third female role in the film, and she doesn't have many scenes. Before leaving, her assistant Yaya brought an exquisite dress for Xu Yousheng to change into. She took a look and said to her, "Please change me into something simpler."
Yaya is a round-faced young girl who has been with Xu Yousheng since her debut. She looked puzzled and said, "Shengjie, we didn't care before when we didn't have the resources, but now that Dong Ge is with you, your salary has increased, and we can borrow good clothes from the clothing department. Why don't you wear them?"
Xu Yousheng smiled and explained to her, "Although my treatment is good now, how many people in the company are jealous and dissatisfied? I'm just the third female lead in this drama. I can't steal the limelight from the lead actor. Just change into something comfortable and decent."
She has no works and no popularity now. Everything has just begun, so it’s better for her to keep a low profile.
"Oh, okay then." Yaya nodded and went to change.
Backstage, Xu Yousheng and Jiang Yuan met. They hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Shengsheng, I miss you so much." As soon as they met, Jiang Yuan gave her a big hug.
If it weren't for that idiot Ji Yuanchen, would she have left her hometown and wandered around without a home to return to?
Xu Yousheng looked at Jiang Yuan's outfit today, a light-colored suit paired with pearl earrings, which made him look smart, intellectual, beautiful and cool.
"Yuanyuan, you look so beautiful today, you have such a strong aura!"
Jiang Yuan flipped her hair and said, "It's just so-so. I have to fit in with the screenwriter's image, so I have to put on some show."
"But you, Shengsheng, why are you dressed so plainly today?"
Xu Yousheng was only wearing a Chanel-style V-neck denim dress, with her slightly curled hair draped over her shoulders, and only a white hairpin pinned on her head.
The makeup is also in a clear and clean style, which looks good, but it is too daily and simple.
Xu Yousheng laughed and said, "I'm just a supporting role. It would be bad if I stole the limelight."
Jiang Yuan nodded: "That's right."
After the event started, the host called everyone to the stage and introduced them one by one.
The moment Qin Yanxiu appeared, the audience screamed and cheered continuously, and the host almost lost control of the situation.
Qin Yanxiu was wearing a black shirt today with a slightly open collar, revealing the necklace underneath. He looked both bewitching and lustful.
He stood in the center of the stage, while Xu Yousheng stood on the outermost side of the actors.
The creative team shared some behind-the-scenes stories of the creation, and now a clip from the main film is played, which happens to be the most suspenseful part.
The leading actors then played a few small games together, interacted with the audience, and asked questions in the interview.
Throughout the whole process, the topic revolved around the drama and the male and female protagonists. Most of the time, the topic was about the director and Qin Yanxiu, and Xu Yousheng had basically no presence.
It was not until the question-and-answer session with reporters, when asked about the script writing, that Jiang Yuan shared his ideas on creation and adaptation in the crew, and finally took the initiative to mention Xu Yousheng.
"For example, the character of Li Xun, played by Sheng Sheng, doesn't actually have much focus in the original novel, but we all feel that this character plays a very important role in advancing the plot, so we re-set her background and gave her a complete storyline within a limited time and space. Everyone can look forward to it."
At this time, a reporter happened to ask Xu Yousheng: "The character of Li Xun is actually very complex, and she also has a very important scene opposite the male lead. I want to know how Teacher Xu portrayed her versatility in her performance, and what interesting stories were there when acting opposite Teacher Qin?"
The host passed the microphone to Xu Yousheng, who took it and spoke slowly, "Li Xun's character was actually greatly influenced by her family, so she has a very paranoid side in her bones, which was formed imperceptibly. But she also has a positive and sunny side, which is related to her upbringing and friends. So she also gradually fell into the abyss step by step amidst the contradictions and struggles, and she was also very painful in this process..."
Xu Yousheng has a nice voice, speaks in an orderly manner, and his analysis of the characters is also very accurate.
"As for the scenes with Mr. Qin, he is a very professional actor. Even if the camera wasn't on him during the shoot, he would still respond accordingly and guide my next steps. Sometimes, when I wasn't in the right mood, he would also give me advice. I learned a lot from him."
Hearing this, Qin Yanxiu raised his eyes and glanced at her, asking her a lot of flattering questions.
I just don’t know how many of them are sincere.
…
The premiere was a great success, quickly becoming a hot topic on major platforms, and the media also rushed to report on it.
As the show started airing, Xu Yousheng also went on several roadshows with the crew, and each time he had one or two opportunities to be asked questions. Gradually, he became familiar to the public.
Qin Yanxiu doesn't go to every roadshow. Everyone keeps traveling between several cities, and he only goes when he has time.
At the last stop, he arrived.
The scene was filled with his fans, completely drowning out the voices of other actors.
During the live interaction, some audience members hoped that he could recreate the famous scenes in the drama, but the female lead had flown abroad to participate in an event, so the host asked him to find someone on the scene to replace her.
Qin Yanxiu raised his eyebrows and scanned the girls present one by one, finally stopping on Xu Yousheng.
"Xiaoxun, An Ran is not here, please come and take her place."
Xu Yousheng was stunned for a second. She didn't expect Qin Yanxiu to call her, and he called her the name of the character in the play.
Everyone looked over, so Xu Yousheng had no choice but to come over.
Everyone consciously gave the middle seat to the two of them.
This is a very tense scene between the male and female protagonists. Qin Yanxiu holds her neck tightly, and his fingers replace the sharp blades, moving down her cheek little by little.
The moment his fingers touched Xu Yousheng, there was a burst of screams at the scene.
A tingling sensation came from her cheeks, and Xu Yousheng's eyelashes trembled slightly. It was obviously a very thrilling scene, but she felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Pay attention." The two of them faced the audience sideways, and Qin Yanxiu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
It wasn't until she met Qin Yanxiu's dark eyes, paranoid and crazy, that she immediately came to her senses and got into the role.
Even after Qin Yanxiu let her go and the applause from the audience broke out, her heart was still pounding.
Qin Yanxiu glanced at her meaningfully.
She returned to her original position, not understanding why Qin Yanxiu suddenly did this. Was it to give herself more exposure?
…
After the roadshow, Xu Yousheng prepared to return to South City.
Brother Dong assigned her a special driver, and her assistant is still Yaya.
In the underground parking lot, Qin Yanxiu's nanny car drove past and suddenly stopped.
The car window rolled down, revealing that enchantingly handsome face. He looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Yousheng turned to look at him and pursed her lips: "There was a problem with the car, it will be fixed soon."
Qin Yanxiu opened his thin lips and said, "Get in the car."
Xu Yousheng: "No need, it will be fixed soon."
Besides, it would be troublesome if you were photographed.
He narrowed his eyes, a little impatient: "Don't make me say it a second time."
Yaya pushed her: "Shengjie, Teacher Qin is probably doing this for Dong Ge's sake. If you don't go, he'll be angry. Besides, don't you have an acting class tonight?"
Xu Yousheng pursed her lips and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Teacher Qin."
She bent down and got into the car, only to find that there were only Qin Yanxiu and the driver in the car, and his assistant was not there.
Xu Yousheng sat obediently on the other side, and the silence in the car was unsettling.
She moved her fingers hanging on her knees slightly, thought for a moment, looked sideways at him, and said softly, "Teacher Qin, thank you for giving me the opportunity just now."
Qin Yanxiu had a playful smile on his lips: "What opportunity?"
"Ask me to act with you and help me gain more exposure."
He scoffed, "I'm not that free."
Xu Yousheng was stunned, not knowing what he meant.
He closed his eyes to rest and stopped talking, and she didn't bother him anymore.
No conversation along the way.
It was not until the car stopped in front of Qin Yanxiu's villa that Qin Yanxiu slowly opened his eyes.
The driver had already gotten out of the car and left. Xu Yousheng unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to get out and take a taxi back: "Thank you, Teacher Qin. Goodbye, Teacher Qin."
Just as she took a step forward, Qin Yanxiu's casual voice sounded beside her.
"Did I tell you to leave?"
