Chapter 202
Jiang Wu couldn't help but stretched out his finger and poked it, asking, "What's wrong with your face?"
Being poked in the face without warning, Jiang Qiao almost blushed. In fact, her expression was not friendly at all. She moved away from Jiang Wu: "What's it got to do with you? Just recite your words."
"I care about you~" Jiang Wu shamelessly said,
Jiang Qiao's face turned cold, and he stared at him with a half-smile: "If you make a mistake during the filming, wouldn't you be embarrassed?"
Jiang Wu: “…………………………”
Tsk, this attack power hasn't weakened at all, even asking about it won't work.
He shrugged and went back to reading his script.
"Falling Osmanthus" is a literary play that has been shelved for many years. It is said to be the last work left by Zhang Kang's deceased wife.
The script is more of a literary romance. The heroine Xu Luoluo suffers from congenital heart disease and is abandoned by her parents. She can only see them twice a year and grows up with her grandmother most of the time.
The male protagonist Zhao Jingyuan is a second-generation official from a wealthy family with no education. Once again, he gets into trouble. Zhao Jingyuan is "sent" by his father, a high-ranking official, to a high school in Haicheng, where he meets the female protagonist.
One is timid and dull, the other is wanton and flamboyant. Their unexpected collision creates different sparks.
The timid ones dare not say it, and will only secretly bring him the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by his grandmother.
The outspoken man was unwilling to admit that he actually fell in love with a poor girl.
Due to the completely opposite growth backgrounds and the unequal family conditions in the eyes of the world, Zhao Jingyuan began to distance himself from the heroine under the influence of various factors. After the college entrance examination, he resolutely went abroad.
The heroine was admitted to the best university in Haicheng. After graduation, with the help of her mentor, she entered the most famous local law firm.
They met again in court, where the heroine was the plaintiff's lawyer and the defendant was the hero's father, a high-ranking official.
Jiang Wu closed the script, turned his head and couldn't help laughing. The staff who were packing up nearby couldn't help but look over here.
Jiang Qiao twitched his lips and sat aside, further away from him.
Jiang Wu laughed enough, then looked at Jiang Qiao and said deliberately ambiguously: "You, have a crush on me again."
Jiang Qiao: “…………………………”
Where did the word "again" come from? Jiang Qiao took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, and said calmly: "It's Xu Luoluo who has a crush on you, not me."
"Oh, no, it's Xu Luoluo who has a crush on Zhao Jingyuan." Jiang Qiao added very cautiously.
It was not known whether Jiang Wu listened or not, he kept laughing. If you didn't know him, you would think he was sick.
Several veteran actors who were sitting and talking also heard the laughter.
"Hahaha, young people just have things to talk about." A middle-aged male actor said with appreciation.
Zhang Lihua, who was sitting elegantly at the side, had a disdainful expression: "You are just a young man. You don't want to think about acting. You spend the whole day fighting and playing with the male actors in the same crew. What a shame."
This remark was too targeted, and the others looked a little weird, but no one responded. Everyone came here to work, and there was no need to offend anyone.
They all knew Zhang Lihua's personality. When she was young, she was plain-looking and her acting career had not made much progress. When she reached middle age, she started to act like a senior and picked on young actresses. She was simply jealous that they were prettier than her and had better resources.
In the evening, the crew generously booked a whole floor of a private room in the nearest hotel. At the dinner table, everyone got to know each other briefly and drank tea instead of wine.
Jiang Qiao toasted the director first, then several seniors, but got stuck when it came to Zhang Lihua.
Zhang Lihua pushed the cup aside and said in an unclear tone, "Oh, Xiao Jiang, you are so polite. You don't have to be like this. We are not as famous as you. You should just toast to the director."
Although he was being polite, his words revealed that Jiang Qiao was deliberately trying to please others with his tea. He had deep scheming.
When Jiang Wu offered her tea just now, she drank more happily than anyone else. It was true that the dishes were served according to gender. The atmosphere at the table was a little subtle.
Jiang Qiao did not show any embarrassment as expected. He kept smiling, put down his teacup naturally, and said with a smile, "We are all working in the entertainment industry. There is no difference between us in terms of status. Aunt Zhang, don't look down on yourself."
The polite "Aunt Zhang" was quite hurtful. Zhang Lihua's face immediately turned pale. She usually hated people talking about her age, but Jiang Qiao called her "Aunt Zhang" in front of everyone at the table.
However, even though she was angry, she couldn't say anything. After all, she was old enough to be Jiang Qiao's mother.
Zhang Lihua was so angry that her face turned blue.
The director didn't look at her, his eyes fell on Jiang Qiao's calm face, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and then he pretended to disagree: "Xiao Jiang, why call me auntie? Your Aunt Zhang doesn't like to hear others call her that."
Jiang Qiao pretended to be enlightened, without any trace of acting: "Is that so? Sorry, I'll call you sister from now on..."
"That's right. You have to be able to speak." Director Zhang said with satisfaction.
The two of them sang the same tune. Zhang Lihua was almost angry and fainted. She also realized that Zhang Kang was deliberately warning her, so she had to endure it.
With Zhang Lihua as a lesson, everyone chatted happily afterwards, without any pretense, and their attitudes were all very easygoing.
To put it bluntly, this circle does not judge by seniority based on when you have entered the industry, but by strength and traffic. People who are humble are being polite, but it is not good to take yourself too seriously.
The next day, the film was launched. Even though the film had not received much pre-promotion, the media in the industry heard that the director was Zhang Kang and they still tried their best to come to the launch ceremony.
In the end, only dozens of leading media outlets were able to come in. They all carried cameras and squeezed to the front, trying to find the best angle.
The opening ceremony was the same as usual with burning incense and unveiling red cloth. The difference was that the first to burn incense were not the leading actors, but several older veteran actors. The two young leading actors humbly lined up behind them.
When the reporters saw the character name on Jiang Qiao's chest, they were all shocked and rubbed their eyes, thinking they must have seen it wrong.
The role played by Jiang Qiao is actually the heroine!
Originally they thought it was surprising that Jiang Wu played the male lead, but now that they saw that Jiang Qiao played the female lead, they immediately stopped caring about Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu has been in the industry for more than ten years. He is a top-tier male star and can barely act in Zhang Kang's movies.
But why did Jiang Qiao do that? !
A young actress who just became popular this year actually has access to such top-level resources. This is simply a leap of faith. Who would believe it if I told you? !
Someone immediately released the news, and for a while, the opening ceremony of the crew of "Falling Osmanthus" directly became a hot search.
Looking at the list of the main actors, apart from the Jiang Qiao fans and Jiang Wu fans who were celebrating, most of the others were skeptical.
I'm here again~~
