The group split into two teams at the crew's door, one team went to check in at the hotel, and the other team went to the crew to give gifts.
"Old Li, you and Zhao Qixian find a place to sit down. Miaomiao and I will go in and find some staff to help you move."
Old Li nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Teacher Deng, we will definitely take good care of these things."
As he said that, he pulled Zhao Qi aside. Seeing that Lao Li was so understanding, Deng Ling felt at ease to take Guan Miao in.
After watching their figures disappear, Lao Li gave Zhao Qi a look and turned away, disappearing behind a big tree in a few steps.
Deng Ling had already greeted Li Lan, so after they had just walked a few steps, a staff member took them to the director's office.
"I have to trouble you with one more thing. Teacher Guan prepared some gifts for everyone. They are all outside. I need you to help find a few staff members to move them in and distribute them to everyone."
"It's just a small matter, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you."
After the staff left, Guan Miao knocked on the director's door and said, "Director Li, can I come in?"
A tired female voice soon came from inside the room, "Come in."
The three of them were a little confused. Why did Director Li look so tired after not seeing him for just a few days?
Unexpectedly, when they opened the door, there were two other people inside besides Director Li. When they heard the noise, they all turned to look at them.
"Oh, isn't this Sister Deng Ling? I haven't seen you for so long and you look more and more elegant.
I thought you wouldn't be used to such a leisurely life, but now it seems I was worrying too much."
It's not advisable to extend a hand to a smiling person. Since the other party was so polite, Deng Ling naturally had to give him some face. "Xu Jia, you are not much different from what I remember."
Xu Jia's face stiffened slightly. "Look at what Sister Deng said. I'm a human being, and everyone ages. How can I be so much the same as I was a few years ago?"
The two people's implicit words made the atmosphere in the room tense. Li Lan sighed in her heart, and finally stood up to control the situation.
She smiled and put her arm around Guan Miao's shoulders, "Miao Miao, this is Lin Man, who also plays Ding Lan;
Lin Man, this is Guan Miao, the actor who plays Teacher Chu.
Lin Manren was cute, and when she smiled, the dimples on her cheeks showed, making her look even more cute. "Hello, Teacher Guan."
"Hello, Teacher Lin."
"Teacher Guan, you're too polite. I'm a few years younger than you. If you don't mind, I'll call you Sister Guan from now on, and you can call me Manman. How about that?"
Since she said so proactively, Guan Miao naturally had no reason to refuse.
After Xu Jia and Lin Man stayed for a while, Li Lan found an excuse to ask them to leave.
"Sister Guan, Sister Deng Ling, see you next time."
After the door closed, Li Lan breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally, they left. If you hadn't come again, I would have had to listen to their nagging. It would have been so annoying."
Seeing her impatience, Deng Ling and Guan Miao exchanged a glance, found a place to sit down, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to add more scenes?"
"Yeah, that Lin Man thought the second female character was too peaceful and wanted to add some emotional conflict, but if the role of the squad leader was to have a romantic scene, that would be completely out of the question.
I could have been a good white moonlight, but ended up getting dragged into this melodramatic love story. I'm really bored."
Li Lan became more and more angry as she spoke, and her original good impression of Lin Man disappeared. However, when she saw Guan Miao sitting quietly beside her, she couldn't help but compare the two of them.
Although they both have their backs against a big tree, there is really no comparison between these two people.
Seeing that Li Lan looked at Guan Miao with increasing satisfaction, Deng Ling immediately gave her a look. Guan Miao successfully accepted it and handed the gift box she had been holding over.
"Director Li, don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health. Here are some gifts I prepared for you. They are all small snacks that are healthy and delicious and convenient."
"Then I won't hold back," Li Lan accepted with a smile. "Your final photo shoot is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, and you'll officially join the crew the day after tomorrow. How are your preparations going?"
Speaking of business, Guan Miao also became a little serious, "I'm ready and can start shooting at any time, but..."
Her tone was hesitant, her mind full of Lin Man and Xu Jia's talk about changing the script. If Director Li couldn't withstand the pressure, wouldn't the pages be flying?
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Li Lan immediately guessed her worries. It seemed that everyone was worried about the same thing.
Thinking of this, Li Lan looked at Guan Miao expectantly, "Miao Miao, you don't want the script to become a mess, do you?"
"Yeah. But on Lin Man's side, Director Li has come up with a good idea, right?"
"Of course," Li Lan smiled mysteriously, and then turned flattering when she met Deng Ling's unpleasant gaze. "Miaomiao, if Lin Man really forces us to change the script, I can only count on you to help me."
Guan Miao was surprised for only a moment before he understood what Li Lan meant. Turning around and seeing that Deng Ling had no intention of stopping her, he asked who the big tree behind Lin Man was.
"Oh, it's the Zhao family's unruly second son, Zhao Xu."
"The Zhao family?" Deng Ling stood up and walked over to them. "The Zhao family that owns Heyang Company? No wonder her agent is Xu Jia. How could I have forgotten about this?"
As she was speaking, she saw Guan Miao's face full of doubts, and then she remembered that Guan Miao didn't know much about the secrets of the circle. "This matter is not complicated."
"Heyang is a relatively old-fashioned agency in the industry. The current chairman is Zhao Xu's biological brother, and Xu Jia and Zhao Xu..."
Deng Ling hesitated for a few seconds and said vaguely, "I heard that the two of them were in a relationship before, but they broke up later. However, for some reason, he stayed in Heyang to deal with Zhao Xu's affairs."
This news was so shocking that Guan Miao didn't know how to act. "So, Zhao Xu asked his ex-girlfriend Xu Jia to stay by his side to deal with his current girlfriend?
Wow, this is really, insane!"
"puff."
Li Lan's out-of-place laughter echoed in the room, and she stopped after a while, "Okay, this is roughly the situation.
If it weren't for Lin Man's appearance and acting skills being so well-suited to the role, I wouldn't be in this situation. If it really gets to the point of no return, I'd have to trouble Miaomiao for help."
Since Li Lan had said so much, Guan Miao naturally had no reason to refuse, but he had to explain the consequences to her first.
"Director Li, let me be frank. If Lin Man refuses to change and even threatens to boycott performances, I will not let her go.
Therefore, Director Li should prepare a B-role as soon as possible to avoid being manipulated by her."
"I know, no matter what the consequences are, I can bear it."
Seeing her so sure, Guan Miao and Deng Ling felt relieved.
As the two of them walked out of the crew, they saw a familiar figure standing under a tree nearby. "Sister Deng Ling, it's been a while. Do you want to get together?"
"OK."
Deng Ling turned around and whispered to An Jing to protect Guan Miao, "By the way, ask Chai Yue to check on Zhao Xu."
"Um."
