68 Chapter 68
◎Intentional◎
Everyone just thought that Zhang Li's aura in real life was completely different from her acting, but when Liu Qingran came up, they found that she was actually similar.
I don’t know if it’s because of her family background that she has come into contact with many upper-class people, but although the opposing boss played by Liu Qingran is not as powerful as Zhang Li, she cleverly plays to her strengths and avoids her weaknesses. Compared to Zhang Li’s big devil image, she is an extremely rational president.
At her request, the stylist specially added a pair of gold-rimmed glasses for her to enhance the shape of her eyes. At first glance, she looked like the kind of president who would be polite to everyone.
When she emerged from the elevator and walked out with steady steps, the eyes of the subordinates on both sides tacitly intertwined with each other's boss, and then spread out.
Zhang Li was still wearing a dark suit and a slim coat. Her makeup was not heavy, but her bright red lips were extremely eye-catching.
Liu Qingran was just the opposite. Her makeup looked very light, and she was wearing a smart beige V-neck short jacket and a skirt, which slightly revealed her waistline. It fit her figure very well, and she was obviously very elegant.
Under the camera, the two people's eyes met, as if they had been together for a thousand years.
As the host, Zhang Li was the first to extend his hand. "Welcome, President Du."
"Thank you." Liu Qingran also extended his hand.
The moment their hands clasped together, the camera captured a vibrant collision of colors, not only exuding a powerful aura, but also incredibly beautiful looks...
"Cut!" the director shouted, and then had someone replay the footage.
Watching it again, it's still just as thrilling.
This can be said to be the most satisfying scene shot by the director. If it is broadcasted, I wonder how many fans will scream at it.
The director gave an unhesitating "Pass!"
Zhang Li was the first to extend his hand in front of the camera, and was also the first to let go.
Both of them knew that there was no need to reshoot this scene. After the director said "pass", Zhang Li stopped looking at Liu Qingran, nodded slightly to the others, and went in the direction of Bai Wen and the others.
Liu Qingran stared at her back, then turned around and smiled at the extras behind her, and then they dispersed.
The crew began setting up the filming location for the next scene in the conference room.
Now almost everyone has enough confidence in Zhang Li and Liu Qingran's acting skills and tacit understanding. If the filming goes smoothly like this, Liu Qingran's guest appearance will probably be completed within a day.
In response to this, Liu Qingran felt not relieved but rather a sense of inexplicable regret.
It was obvious that Zhang Li was still indifferent to her and hardly looked her in the eye as before, but she felt that Zhang Li had no ill intentions. Sometimes, she even thought that it would be better if the two of them could reconcile.
However, she also knew how impossible her idea was. After all, what happened between them was too complicated.
Therefore, only when filming can she put everything aside and face Zhang Li in a completely relaxed state, but once the filming stops, the two will return to reality.
After struggling for a while, Liu Qingran decided not to think about it anymore.
-
As everyone expected, the subsequent filming went extremely smoothly.
The main members of the crew have been trained by Zhang Li in the past half month. The only ones who are under pressure are the extras who play Liu Qingran's subordinates.
Fortunately, these people were carefully selected by the director, and after shooting two scenes, they quickly adapted to the rhythm.
After a morning, the successfully filmed scenes were 10% more than the director had expected.
After announcing a break in the recording to eat first, everyone relaxed.
Zhang Li brought her people back to the dressing room, which was like a lounge for her and her team. Bai Wen and the others had already received lunch boxes waiting for her.
On the other side, Cao Mingyan finally found an opportunity. The colleague who distributed lunch boxes felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he entrusted the work to him.
If it were the same in the past, he might have tried to push it to someone else, but this time he took it over without hesitation.
I originally thought that even if Liu Qingran didn't come to pick up the lunch box in person, at least her assistant and others would come.
He had already memorized all of Liu Qingran's team members. When they came over, he would find ways to leave a good impression on them so that he could get close to Liu Qingran.
What he didn't expect was that after he sent out the messages to all the people in line, he still didn't see Liu Qingran and her team members until the end.
In order not to waste the hard-earned opportunity, he even asked his friend to inquire about it. However, the information he got was that Liu Qingran had a professional nutrition team, a specific diet, and dedicated food delivery staff, and they would not eat the crew's meals at all.
After all this time, it was all in vain!
Cao Mingyan was almost angry to death.
What made him most anxious was that he heard that Liu Qingran's guest appearance was going too smoothly and he might not come to the crew again after filming today.
This is extremely bad news, indicating that if he does not find a suitable opportunity in the next period of time, he is likely to lose the point of intersection with Liu Qingran again.
He was extremely anxious, but he couldn't show it. Most importantly, he couldn't let his friend know and ask for help this time.
This is different from Zhang Li's case. Zhang Li grew up with him, and he can be sure of Zhang Li's affection for him, but Liu Qingran doesn't know his existence, and he is also afraid that this friend with bad character will suddenly turn against him.
As a result, his CPU was almost smoking.
-
Liu Qingran didn't know that there was such a person in the crew. The crew specially set up a room for her. After dinner, she took a nap.
After getting up, she devoted herself to filming again.
Agent Fang Se had left at some point.
Ever since Zhang Li revealed that Fang Se had secretly contacted the Liu family to "speak up" for her without telling her, Liu Qingran had lost all trust in her.
Just like this time, the company suddenly offered her a guest role in a drama. After Fang Se knew about it, she went to find out more. After learning that not only was the investment in this drama not large, but there was also Zhang Li in the crew, she wanted to turn it down on behalf of Liu Qingran.
But the company's unusual and tough attitude this time made Liu Qingran agree after he learned about it.
It’s not that she is afraid of the company, but she is more rational than Fang Se, who is blinded by emotions.
If this is really a poorly produced drama, given Zhang Li's personality, he probably wouldn't star in it.
Since Zhang Li has accepted this drama, at least the quality of the drama can be guaranteed.
Especially after joining the crew and seeing the exquisite costumes from Xuanhuang, she was even more convinced that this drama would definitely not flop! Just based on the costumes of this drama, it couldn't possibly flop!
Liu Qingran changed several sets of clothes in a day, and each set made her appreciate it more and more.
If she hadn't still retained her sanity, she would have even wanted to discuss with the crew whether she could take the costumes she had worn with her.
Fortunately, she figured it out quickly. She was not short of money, so after leaving the crew, she could go directly to Xuanhuang to order the clothes she wanted.
In addition to several "company" scenes in the afternoon, there was also an outdoor scene. However, this time, Liu Qingran's opponent was no longer Zhang Li, but the heroine of the show.
It is said to be outside, but in fact, it is arranged downstairs.
Without Zhang Li's presence, Liu Qingran actually felt strangely a little dull. Fortunately, her sense of professionalism came into play and she stopped this dangerous idea in time.
When she finished filming, the entire crew retreated upstairs again to shoot Liu Qingran's last scene in "Moving Forward", which was also the scene where the big boss played by Zhang Li completely reached a cooperation with them and they evacuated.
The heroine played an amazing role in this collaboration. Not only did the big boss played by Zhang Li list her as a key training candidate, but she also successfully completed her first transformation, from an ordinary employee to replacing the position of the boss who had made things difficult for her.
The shooting clip this time is a bit long. Although it is not a one-shot shot, it is shot from the conference room to the elevator entrance.
The main focus of this scene is on Zhang Li, Liu Qingran and the heroine. The acting skills of the three are solid. With their best efforts, the scene is smooth and without any pause.
As they moved forward, 'President Du' emphasized the heroine's wit. The big boss also knew how to judge people. Although he didn't say anything, just by looking at his expression, you could tell that she had taken 'President Du's' words to heart.
After personally escorting Mr. Du to the elevator, he then handed over the rest of the escort mission to the administrative assistant who had initially picked him up.
At the moment of parting, the two of them once again shook hands in tacit understanding, which not only formed a perfect connection with their previous first meeting, but also brought an end to Liu Qingran's guest appearance.
"Boss Du, goodbye!"
"Mr. Zhao, goodbye!"
Under the camera, Liu Qingran walked into the elevator with his team members and turned around.
As she smiled, the elevator door slowly closed.
The camera slowly turned, and Zhang Li outside the elevator door looked at the heroine, rarely showing a smile of approval, and patted her on the shoulder.
With the director's "Cut!", the shot ends.
Liu Qingran, who had 'left', also returned to the scene and received farewell applause from everyone.
"Congratulations to Teacher Qingran for completing all the scenes! I wish you a long and prosperous career!!"
What Liu Qingran didn't expect was that Zhang Li actually clapped his hands in support this time.
What surprised her even more was what happened next. When she took her team back to the room to get their belongings, Zhang Li's assistant Bai Wen actually came to her door just as she was about to leave.
One person is inside the door, and the other is outside.
Bai Wen also directly stated her purpose: "Hello, Teacher Qingran, someone asked me to pass something on to you."
Liu Qingran took the item she handed over, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a business card, and it was the business card of the general manager of Xuanhuang Clothing! !
"What are you doing?..."
Bai Wen smiled and said, "The person who asked me to pass the message on said that Xuan Huang is now interested in selecting a suitable spokesperson from among the domestic entertainment actresses. She recommended you to the general manager of Xuan Huang, and they are also very interested. If you have any ideas, she hopes you can come to Xiyue Restaurant at 8 o'clock tonight to discuss it in detail with the person in charge of Xuan Huang."
Liu Qingran was really shocked now.
"Xuanhuang Clothing?! They want to talk to me about endorsement?!"
She was thinking about going to Xuanhuang to order clothes after leaving the crew, but she didn't expect to receive such good news before she even left the crew.
She subconsciously felt a sense of surprise, but after a moment, she regained her senses and showed a look of doubt.
"I remember Zhang Li hasn't had any endorsement for this yet. Why didn't Xuan Huang choose her, but me instead?"
This decision is really strange. After all, it is well known that Zhang Li is an artist promoted by Lingman and Wancheng, and Xuanhuang is under Wancheng. How could it be her turn to be the spokesperson?
Liu Qingran, who has experienced a lot in the entertainment industry, is no longer the naive type. She first suspected whether this was a Hongmen Banquet.
Bai Wen seemed to know that she would have doubts and continued to smile, "Sister Li currently has no intention of accepting any endorsements or advertisements, so she can't be the spokesperson for Xuanhuang."
Liu Qingran was still a little skeptical, "Are you telling the truth?"
Bai Wen didn't explain further, but simply said, "This is just a normal invitation. I'm just conveying it on behalf of someone else. The decision is in your hands, Teacher Qingran. If you don't believe me, then I really can't help it."
"The message has been successfully conveyed to you. I won't bother you any further. Goodbye!"
Bai Wen said goodbye politely and left.
Liu Qingran looked at her back and then at the business card in his hand. Although he felt it was not credible rationally, he couldn't help but feel moved emotionally.
But she didn't know that the scene of Bai Wen coming to find her was completely seen by Cao Mingyan who wanted to wait and see.
And because Bai Wen didn't lower her voice, he was able to hear the entire conversation between the two.
Like Liu Qingran, after hearing Bai Wen's invitation and explanation, he subconsciously thought that this was a Hongmen Banquet.
After all, Bai Wen is Zhang Li's assistant, so this is most likely a plot set up by Zhang Li to deal with Liu Qingran.
However, he then thought about Zhang Li's true character and felt that this was unlikely. Based on his understanding of Zhang Li, no matter how much Zhang Li hated Liu Qingran, he would not take the initiative to harm her.
Therefore, either the person behind Wan Cheng knew about the feud between Zhang Li and Liu Qingran and wanted to seek revenge for Zhang Li, or... that person wanted to deliberately anger Zhang Li, so he invited her mortal enemy to be the spokesperson for his company.
No matter which possibility it is, this undoubtedly creates another opportunity for Cao Mingyan!
He was worried about what kind of opportunity he could find to reveal his identity to Liu Qingran and take the opportunity to get close to her.
As long as Liu Qingran agrees to go this time, he can naturally wait in ambush in advance, appear in front of Liu Qingran, and tell her what happened.
It’s a pity that Liu Qingran didn’t tell Bai Wen whether he would go or not.
He continued to squat at the corner, not noticing at all that Bai Wen glanced vaguely in the direction of his well-hidden gaze while leaving.
