Chapter 87: The Movie Star's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (38)
After the performance, Director Yuan smiled and said, "Not bad. Although he's still green, he's a promising actor."
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Yuan."
The aura belonging to Chen Xia on her body vanished instantly. Director Yuan looked at Wen Wan and said, "Very good, you got out of character quickly. That's a good thing." As if he had thought of something, Director Yuan's mind wandered.
The assistant director smiled and said, "Go back and wait for news."
Wen Wan bowed and left.
Director Yuan: "This girl reminds me of the first time I saw Yi Qin. It's a pity that such a talented person was born."
Assistant Director: "I don't think it's a pity. Gu Yiqin is a director now, and who knows when he'll surpass you, the old guard."
The two clearly had a good relationship, and Director Yuan glared at the assistant director.
You're so good at talking.
...
Xiao Qi and the others were waiting outside. When they saw Wen Wan come out, they quickly came over to greet her. "How is Sister Wen Wan?"
Wen Wan: "I think it's alright."
"Sister Wen Wan will definitely succeed, Sister Wen Wan is amazing!" Xiao Qi said with a smile, but Zhao Hanjiao next to her scoffed, "Does she really think Director Yuan would look down on any lousy fish or shrimp?"
Wen Wan knew Zhao Hanjiao, the actress who looked down on her agent.
Covering her nose, she exclaimed, "Hey Xiaoqi, can you smell that? Why does it suddenly smell so awful, like dog poop? Why does it suddenly smell so bad?"
Zhao Hanjiao: "You—"
"It stinks so badly, I'm about to be suffocated by the stench. I need to get home quickly. Only when I eat Teacher Gu's braised pork ribs will I feel better."
Xiao Qi laughed so hard, "Okay, Sister Wen Wan, the car is over there, it won't smell if we're far away."
Zhao Hanjiao glared angrily at Wen Wan and Xiao Qi as they left, "What the hell!"
Assistant: "Sister Jiao, don't take these two people seriously. They're just some struggling celebrities who've only recently gained some popularity."
Zhao Hanjiao: "She really thinks she can act in Director Yuan's movie? She's dreaming."
Once in the car, Wen Wan laughed hysterically, "Didn't you see Zhao Hanjiao's sour face just now? Did she really think I was easy to bully!"
Xiaoqi was also happy, "She's probably going to be furious, furious, furious, that snobbish jerk."
Back home.
Chen Jie called to ask, and Wen Wan said there should be a chance.
Actually, she felt that Director Yuan liked her performance quite a bit, but since nothing was finalized, it was hard to say what would happen.
But then things took a turn for the worse. Two days later, the assistant director called to explain the situation. She had originally decided on the deal, but the investors were not satisfied.
Director Yuan makes mostly niche art films. Although they have won many awards and are of high quality and classic status, they don't make money!
Investors are all about returns, so why would they invest in something that doesn't offer much return?
Even Director Yuan is sometimes constrained by this.
Wen Wan was speechless.
What's wrong with these investors? Do they think she's easy to bully? They always try to steal her roles.
So she quickly contacted her manager; she was an expert at throwing money at people!
Director Yuan's film crew suddenly gained another investor, investing 50 million yuan, which is a huge investment for an art film.
The only requirement is: make the best movies.
Director Yuan immediately cast Wen Wan, and kicked Zhao Hanjiao, who was smugly trying to win the lead role by relying on investors.
Wen Wan immediately shared the news with Teacher Gu, who was on a business trip, after getting the role. "It seems that justice still exists in this world. I wonder which angel investor is so amazing. They have such good judgment."
Gu Yiqin chuckled, looking at Wen Wan, who was beaming with pride on her phone, "My A-Wan is the best."
He was prepared to invest, how could he let his own child suffer such injustice? But before he could even invest, the production team received new investment.
"When are you coming back?" Wen Wan brought the phone closer. "I miss you."
"Soon, there are still some things to take care of here, I should be able to go back in about half a month." No matter how much he missed it, he had to continue dealing with the Xiao family here. This was the most crucial time, and he couldn't rush back.
Wen Wan nodded. "Eat well, drink plenty of water, go to bed on time tonight, and... remember to think of me."
Gu Yiqin: "I think about A-Yuan every moment."
Wen Wan: You really know how to talk.
...
After the broadcast of "The Legend of the Rainbow Clothes" was a great success, she, as the biggest investor, made a fortune, multiplying her investment several times over.
Are you happy? Of course I am.
He was even happier than when she became famous.
Although Wen Wan didn't promote the CP (couple pairing), the script still gained a large number of fans who shipped them. However, the two main actors haven't interacted at all since the show started airing, especially Wen Wan, who hasn't done anything except for the initial repost and that live stream.
Is this really not using any data?
The fans have gotten used to flooding the supertopic to ask about the actors' activities.
"We don't know what Wanwan does. She doesn't have any endorsements, magazine shoots, or variety shows."
Shen Yu, on the other hand, said some ambiguous things, and even admitted that Si Ni Chang in the drama was not without feelings for Li Luo, and that if she were to find a lover, it would only be Li Luo.
"beauty" is so aesthetically pleasing; you'd be a fool not to admire it.
So Shen Yu became the one giving out the sweet moments, but she kept the boundaries clear and didn't actively mention Wen Wan, only saying it in the show.
Wen Wan had heard Jie Ge mention it, but she didn't care.
And she joined the crew very quickly. This time, joining the crew was almost the most difficult experience in Wen Wan's acting career.
Filming movies is completely different from making TV series. The director scrutinizes every detail, and a single shot may be filmed dozens of times, all for the sake of the perfect shot. They work tirelessly from dawn till dusk to perfect the scenes.
Even when talking to Teacher Gu on the phone, it was all an act; she even fell asleep halfway through several times from exhaustion.
Gu Yiqin felt sorry for Wen Wan, who had lost a lot of weight.
After returning, he visited the film set and brought along a meal he had personally prepared.
After the performance, Wen Wan's eyes were red from crying. Then she looked up, somewhat dazed, and said, "I think I missed Teacher Gu too much. I think I saw him."
Then the person walked up to her and gently touched her hair, saying, "You've worked hard, my great actress."
Wen Wan suddenly hugged Gu Yiqin's waist, "You're back? I missed you so much." As she spoke, her aggrieved sobs softened Gu Yiqin's heart.
Seeing the actors watching from the side, he quickly pulled Wen Wan aside, saying, "Let's eat first, I'll cook for you myself."
Gu Yiqin opened the lunchbox, and Wen Wan smelled the familiar aroma, which suddenly gave her an appetite.
She's been so tired lately that she has no appetite and is almost numb from exhaustion.
Wen Wan ate heartily, while Gu Yiqin watched her closely, observing his child's appearance inch by inch, noticing that her baby fat had diminished considerably.
"You've worked hard." Gu Yiqin was already thinking about how to make up for his Ah Yuan's weight loss, even though he himself had lost a lot of weight.
Wen Wan noticed and pinched Gu Yiqin's cheek. "You've lost weight too. Have you not been eating properly?" As she spoke, she picked up a piece of meat and held it to Gu Yiqin's mouth. Gu Yiqin opened his mouth and ate it.
Gu Yiqin rubbed Wen Wan's head.
"What do we call this? Couples who have been through thick and thin, each with their own way of getting thin."
Gu Yiqin was amused by Wen Wan.
Just then, Director Yuan came over and looked at Gu Yiqin, saying, "I heard from the actors that Xiao Wan's boyfriend is here, so I thought I'd come and see. I didn't expect it to be you!"
Gu Yiqin nodded. "Director Yuan, it's been a long time."
"It's been a long time. You and Xiao Wan were a couple? No wonder I said that many of her performance styles were influenced by you. I thought it was because she was a fan of yours and was learning from you. I didn't expect that she really did learn from you."
Gu Yiqin: "I did mentor A-Yuan, but mainly it was because she was talented and smart."
Director Yuan: "Yes, yes, Xiao Wan is quite talented and has a promising future."
Director Yuan didn't disturb the young couple's conversation and tactfully left.
