"Hey, look over there, who do you think our CEO Xu prefers more? Dilraba or Yifei?"
On set.
The group of people, watching the scene unfold across from them, all became eager to gossip.
"I think it's better to choose Yifei, after all, she's from our Daxu culture, so we're naturally closer to her."
Moreover, she's been the female lead since the TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes," and she's also the female lead in the movie "Kung Fu Hustle"...
"What you said makes sense, but you should know that President Xu and Dilraba come from the same company."
Although Mr. Xu has now left that place to develop his own business, their origins are the same.
"Yes, otherwise, I don't think President Xu would have given the female lead of 'My Old Classmate' to the other party."
"Didn't President Xu also give the female lead role in 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' to Yifei from our Daxu Culture?"
...
Regarding the burning gossip fervor of these guys, Feng Xiaoxia, who happened to walk by, said irritably:
"Are you all so free that you have the mind to gossip about President Xu?"
Should I speak with Mr. Xu and ask him to organize a special gossip session for you guys?
Upon hearing this, the group of men huddled together were immediately startled:
"No, no, no, Brother Xiaoxia, we'll get to work right away, please don't report us!"
"That's right! If you report this to General Manager Xu, how are we supposed to survive? Please spare us!"
"What are you standing there for? Get to work..."
"Go to work, go to work, there's nothing to talk about, everyone stop chatting here."
...
Only after seeing these idlers leave did Feng Xiaoxia nod.
However, after witnessing what was happening over there, he smiled subtly, thinking to himself:
"Why are you all asking so much about Mr. Xu's affairs? Mr. Xu can choose whichever he wants."
The girl hasn't said anything yet, but you guys have time to worry about it.
But Mr. Xu is really something, how did he combine two drama series into one? It's baffling!
That's right!
Just as Feng Xiaoxia complained, this time, Daxu Culture directly merged "My Old Classmate" and "You Are the Apple of My Eye" into one production team.
The director and male lead are both Xu Lu, but there are two female leads: Dilraba, who flew back from Beijing, and Liu Yifei, who was withdrawn from the "The Story of Minglan" crew.
Actually, there was originally a third youth campus drama project.
However, the default male lead for the drama "Fleet of Time" is Peng Yuyan, who has other scenes to film recently, and the director is not Xu Lu, so he was separated into a separate production team.
Actually, Xu Lu himself hadn't thought that much about it.
He just felt that since youth campus dramas are mostly filmed on campus, the two movies could be filmed in the same location.
Moreover, in order to avoid having to travel twice, they simply combined the production teams, since he was the overall director anyway, which made it easier for him to control the situation.
As for what others think, that's beyond Xu Lu's control.
The only slightly troublesome part is that Xu Lu himself has to constantly switch between the two roles.
For example, in the morning, he was "Lin Yi" from "My Old Classmate," but by the afternoon, he had transformed into "He Jingteng" from "You Are the Apple of My Eye."
If Xu Lu didn't possess the skill of 'acting proficiency', an ordinary actor might have developed a split personality due to the rapid switching between two roles.
Xu Lu is competing with himself, while the leading ladies of these two dramas are secretly competing with each other.
Although neither Dilraba nor Liu Yifei showed it outwardly, many people at the scene actually sensed it.
For example, our Director Xu is a prime example of someone who has been severely affected.
"Xu Lu, was my acting just now passable? Is there anything I need to improve?"
Dilraba stood to Xu Lu's left, seemingly discussing acting techniques, and even smiled at Liu Yifei.
"It's alright, just keep it up, try your best to show your youthful spirit!"
Xu Lu made a comment.
At that moment, Liu Yifei, who was standing to his right, suddenly spoke up:
"Mr. Xu, I think Dilraba's performance was already very good. Unlike me, I don't have the same control over my emotions as she does."
Xu Lu nodded in agreement, saying:
"That's definitely an area where you're lacking; you can only improve through continuous practice in your performances!"
As he spoke, Xu Lu keenly noticed that Reba seemed about to speak again, so he quickly added:
"Alright, you two go memorize your lines. I still need to revise the script..."
Before the two could react, Xu Lu had already 'escaped' from this place that felt somewhat treacherous and was known as a 'battleground'.
His claim of 'going to revise the script' was, of course, false.
In fact, Xu Lu had already made significant changes to the scripts of both "My Old Classmate" and "You Are the Apple of My Eye".
After all, this world isn't Earth, so some things still need to be replaced.
...
The competition between the two leading ladies was just a minor incident during filming. With Mr. Xu's adept social skills, he handled such matters with ease.
Time passed day by day.
Online, behind-the-scenes footage of "A Promise Under the Stars" has gradually begun to circulate, clearly indicating that Shen Shanchuan's new drama has started its promotional campaign.
Netizens still have high expectations for this.
