Chapter 51 Short Drama Released (Bonus Chapter)
"How did you end up here?" Ling Wei looked at the person in front of her who shouldn't be in this city, unable to hide her surprise.
Before Lu Yan could speak, Lu Zhao appeared out of nowhere and pushed him aside, saying, "Who knows him? He's elusive."
He suddenly lowered his voice, leaned close to Ling Wei's ear, and said, "Unlike me, I report wherever I go."
That's harassment!
Ling Wei rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. At this moment, Lu Yan spoke up, "I mentioned it to you before, but you... seem to be quite busy."
Only then did the system hindsight say: "Um... Weiwei, he did come looking for you. He sent several messages about his schedule."
Ling Wei: "You're such a Monday morning quarterback!!!"
The system weakly protested, "I...I thought you were playing a cool, aloof game with President Lu because of Su Yuqing..."
After all, S's fetishes are all rather strange.
Ling Wei: "......"
Next time, don't tell me what you think, tell me what I think.
She coughed lightly, forcibly changing the subject: "Um... how about we have dinner together after we finish work?"
Before Lu Yan could speak, Lu Zhao immediately exclaimed, "I want to go too!"
Ling Wei glanced at him helplessly: "Fine, then you find a suitable place." Lu Zhao understood what she meant; suitable meant super secluded.
Once filming resumed, Ling Wei deliberately moved Xiang Wanxing's scenes forward, wanting Lu Yan to see this "Purple Star" female lead and gain leverage in later negotiations.
Xiang Wanxing's performance was indeed impressive, but Lu Yan's gaze remained fixed on Ling Wei from beginning to end.
He watched her skillfully direct the entire scene, each instruction clear and decisive; he watched her personally adjust the actors' positions for a single shot composition, her profile under the lights showing focus and determination; he watched her, dissatisfied with a performance, pinpoint the core problem in just a few words.
In his eyes, Ling Wei was more attractive at this moment than any performance.
After the scene was filmed, Ling Wei breathed a sigh of relief and turned around with a hint of smugness to see Lu Yan's reaction, but unexpectedly bumped into his deep gaze.
His gaze was so focused that it made her heart skip a beat. Almost instinctively, she turned her head quickly, pretending to tidy up the things in her hands.
She had planned it all out perfectly, intending to take this opportunity to show him Xiang Wanxing's potential and pave the way for ousting Su Yuqing later, but when she met his clear and calm eyes, she felt a lot of pressure.
Unlike with Lu Zhao, who could be bossed around with such confidence and whose orders were as natural as breathing.
This pressure continued even at the dinner party.
The system was still shouting in my mind: "Weiwei, go for it! woo him, flirt with him, electrify him!"
However, Ling Wei was very well-behaved and had no other thoughts. With Lu Zhao, who was very talkative, there was no need to worry about awkward silences. The meal was very uneventful.
She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she got home, then threw herself onto the sofa and covered her face.
The thought of having to ask him for a favor later made her inexplicably ashamed, and she couldn't bring herself to use any of her tricks!
system:"......"
This strange sense of self-esteem.
Lu Yan said he was recently transferred back to the headquarters in Beijing. Three years of training in the Northwest have tempered the last bit of naivety that belonged to a student, and given him a deeper sense of composure.
Now that his term at the branch office has come to a successful end, he has temporarily stepped down from his important duties and is in a period of rest after the handover of his responsibilities, so he came to Yaojiang for a vacation.
Lu Zhao then announced his departure nationwide, but this guy said he also had a place to stay in Yaojiang.
My phone vibrated one after the other, both messages from the two people.
Yan: [Are you home yet?]
Vivi smiled brightly: 【Okay, goodnight.】
She didn't really want to chat with him for the time being, so she stopped the conversation first.
The other end showed that they were typing and sent a message: "Okay, goodnight."
And another one here:
Announcement to the world: [I ate too much tonight, and my figure management failed (posting a selfie in the mirror)]
Vivi smiled brightly: [Oh, (look at her abs.jpg)]
A public announcement to the world: 【！！！】
A public announcement to the world: [(Screaming Pervert.jpg)]
Announcing to the world: [(Selfie)]
This is faster than anyone else's post.
Ling Wei glanced at it with satisfaction, then said: 【Goodnight.】
Announcing to the world: [They're leaving already??]
A public announcement to the world: [(Will you come back for dinner?.jpg)]
A public announcement to the world: 【…Goodnight.】
Ling Wei tossed her phone aside and sighed, "I've really had it so tough."
Look how busy she is, busy with her career, busy with men, what a good girl.
system:"……"
Why don't you take a look at how you looked in that abs photo before you speak?
Of course, right now, the most important thing is their short dramas.
After a full 75 days of intensive filming and post-production, the day of the work's release has finally arrived.
That evening, Qi Mo and Xiang Wanxing squeezed into Ling Wei's apartment early. The coffee table in the living room was cleared out, and a laptop was connected to the TV screen. The short drama was in landscape mode, which was perfect for watching.
Ling Wei opened a bottle of cola: "Here, warm this up! After tonight, let's welcome a new beginning to your careers!"
She had already reviewed the final version of the film, and putting aside her personal bias towards her own work... well, it seems she can't really let go of it.
In short, she felt that there would definitely be no problem.
Xiang Wanxing took the can with both hands and echoed softly but firmly, "Yes! It will definitely... have a good outcome."
Qi Mo took it a beat later, smiling with narrowed eyes: "If Weiwei says it's okay, then it definitely will be okay."
The three girls' cans collided, chanting, "For ourselves!"
In the last second before going live, someone took the lead and they even held hands and closed their eyes to pray, looking quite serious.
Although Ling Wei and Xiang Wanxing kept their eyes tightly closed, Qi Mo secretly opened one eye, glanced left and right, and then closed it tightly as well.
When Ling Wei opened her eyes, she found that Qi Mo's head was nodding and his body was swaying slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Ling Wei: "......"
Then, "Double Mirror" was like a depth charge, causing chaos in the entire short drama market.
At first, only fans of "The Pursuit Order" came to support their idols because of their participation, but those who were ready to casually boost their data all stopped in their tracks.
This isn't a short drama; it's clearly a mini-movie!
The opening scene is a stroke of genius: on a rainy night, Lin Wan, the real heiress played by Xiang Wanxing, stands blankly at a busy intersection, dragging a worn-out suitcase.
The shot is not straightforward, but rather employs a highly symbolic overhead rotation.
The city's neon lights twisted into a cold sea of light at her feet, while her tiny figure was trapped in the center. The loneliness and dizziness of being abandoned by the whole world instantly struck the hearts of the audience.
The first episode ends with the first meeting between the real and fake heiresses.
The camera first focuses intently on Qi Mo's face, her red lips as red as blood; her aura is overwhelming.
Just when everyone thought the cliché scene of the two colliding and the country bumpkin being humiliated was about to unfold, the camera seemed to have a soul of its own, slowly pushing towards the gleaming luxury store window behind her.
The glass clearly reflected Xiang Wanxing's figure. He was wearing old clothes, but his back was straight. His eyes were like those of a small animal that had entered unfamiliar territory, full of vigilance and pure stubbornness.
One shot, no dialogue, yet identity, personality, situation, and conflict are all there.
The moment the hook from the first episode was pulled back, the screen went black. Fans stared blankly at the end credits, thinking "Holy crap!" and their fingers instinctively clicked for the next episode.
They've long forgotten about all that data manipulation and hype.
She watched episode after episode until her idol's face appeared on the screen, at which point she suddenly realized what she was there for.
So he quickly switched to various platforms, his fingers flying across the keyboard: "Go watch it now!!!"
Anything else? I can't think of anything else right now.
She needs to finish this meal first.
