Chapter 80: The Movie Star's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (31)
Three days later, the audition results came out, and she got the role of Li Luo.
After that, I'll be joining the film crew, and this time it will take about a month and a half to shoot.
Gu Yiqin packed Wen Wan's luggage, and specially packed some homemade snacks that she liked to eat that could be preserved in a suitcase, such as dried fruit and beef jerky. He even made a little extra, thinking that the little girl might need some snacks when making friends.
Looking at Wen Wan lying on the sofa, swinging her legs, Gu Yiqin sighed, suddenly feeling like an old father.
"Contact me if anything happens, okay?" He could come along, since it would be easy for someone of his status to get into the film crew, but he had a lot of things to do lately and couldn't spare the time.
Wen Wan: "Understood, Teacher Gu."
Gu Yiqin still took Wen Wan to the film set, giving her instructions along the way before leaving.
Xiao Qi, sitting in the back seat, felt that she, as an assistant, would probably lose her job sooner or later.
Upon entering the film set, the director was preparing for the opening ceremony. Soon, the female lead arrived. The actress playing the female lead was Shen Yu, a very popular actress with a beautiful appearance and a touch of heroism between her brows.
He was very friendly and greeted every actor, including Wen Wan.
"You must be Wen Wan, who plays Li Luo? We'll have quite a few scenes together in the future, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Wen Wan reached out and shook hands with Shen Yu. "It's a pleasure to work with you."
The director walked over and said, "Now that you know each other, you two can stand together in a bit."
"Sure, I really like Wen Wan too."
Wen Wan couldn't object, after all, she was a relatively unknown actress, and the only TV series she had ever filmed hadn't even aired yet.
The makeup artist did Wen Wan's makeup, then changed her into a bright green theatrical costume dress and styled her hair into a lively updo.
In an instant, it was as if the quirky little princess of Canglan Kingdom from the original story had appeared.
The female lead, on the other hand, wore armor, her hair styled in a male bun, and her eyebrows were thickened and arched, which accentuated her heroic spirit, making her look like a dashing young general.
The two stood together, and Wen Wan wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Shen Yu's gaze towards her carried a deliberate "doting" quality. Was that the right word? But that was Wen Wan's first impression.
"Wishing 'The Legend of the Rainbow Robes' a successful start to filming and a smooth production."
Under the camera's lens, Shen Yu leaned close to Wen Wan's ear and said, "Wen Wan, my little sister."
Wen Wan looked over.
"What?"
After the opening ceremony ended, Xiao Qi rushed over and said, "Sister Wen Wan, you look so beautiful."
Wen Wan got the phone and snapped several selfies, then sent them all to Gu Yiqin.
"Is Sister Wenwan hungry? I'll go buy her something to eat."
"I'm not hungry."
"Sister Wen Wan, I didn't expect that Teacher Shen Yu is indeed as rumored in the industry, with a very good personality and seems very easy to get along with."
Wen Wan nodded, but didn't answer. For some reason, she felt that Shen Yu's attitude towards her was strange.
After the opening ceremony, the actors got to know each other, since they would be working together in the future. So Director Lin spent a lot of money to treat everyone to dinner, and Wen Wan, as the third female lead, naturally went as well.
As luck would have it, when Wen Wan arrived, only the seat next to Shen Yu was left. Shen Yu beckoned to her, and Wen Wan had no choice but to sit down.
"Is Wen Wan nervous? Don't be nervous, I'm easy to get along with."
Wen Wan: "I'm not nervous."
Director Lin said from the side, "Wen Wan, you and Shen Yu need to get to know each other as soon as possible, you have quite a few scenes together."
As Shen Yu spoke, she handed Wen Wan a can of beer, saying, "Don't worry, Director, I will take good care of Wen Wan."
Wen Yan: "..."
They were being too enthusiastic, which really made Wen Wan feel overwhelmed.
I don't drink alcohol.
Shen Yu: "This is beer, you won't get drunk."
Wen Wan was given a can of beer. Seeing that everyone at the table was drinking, she couldn't refuse, so she slowly finished the can. Shen Yu then handed Wen Wan another can.
Wen Yan: "..."
This time, Wen Wan was smarter. She drank slowly, sipping her drink in small sips, while also eating her food. Although Wen Wan thought the chef at this high-end restaurant wasn't as good as Teacher Gu, his cooking was still quite good.
By the time the dinner ended, there was still half a can of beer left.
The director and other actors left one after another, and Shen Yu's assistant came to pick her up.
Xiaoqi: "Sister Wenwan, let me take you back to your hotel."
Because the filming location was too far from the apartment, Wen Wan had to stay in a hotel.
"I'm going to the restroom first, wait for me."
The restroom is always a place where secrets are easily overheard.
And she just happened to be the one who overheard the secret.
I heard sounds coming from inside while standing at the door.
"Sister Yu, why are you so nice to Wen Wan? Isn't she just a newcomer who just debuted?"
Shen Yu's voice rang out, "Do you think I would willingly fawn over a newcomer? It's only because she's from Xiangyang, and also because she's related to Gu Yiqin."
"Gu Yiqin? What's her relationship with Gu Yiqin?"
"Gu Yiqin personally called Director Lin to recommend her. Do you think that's a good thing? Also, our biggest investor came here because of her."
"So she has powerful backers? No wonder, how could a newcomer get this third female lead role? Is Sister Yu planning to create a CP (couple pairing) with her?"
After all, the CP fans of the female lead and the third female lead in this drama are quite popular online. If they can be marketed well, they can reap a lot of benefits.
Wen Wan left without saying a word.
The system looked at its host and asked, "Are you sad?"
According to its understanding, its host, this little human, is sensitive and easily deceived, so it would naturally be upset.
Why should I be sad?
Wen Wan said, "I know Gu Yiqin, and our relationship is not ordinary. I am the biggest investor, which is a fact. She guessed right. I always felt that she was too enthusiastic. Since she has something to ask for, I should keep my distance from now on."
They should not become close friends; they are merely colleagues.
Xiaoqi escorted Wen Wan back to her hotel. "Sister Wen Wan, I live next door. Call me if you need anything."
Why don't you sleep with me?
Xiaoqi: "..."
She doesn't want to be a third wheel, because she doesn't want to interrupt Sister Wenwan's long phone conversation with President Gu.
"Sister Wen Wan, I'm a restless sleeper at night and I'm afraid I'll kick you. I'm right next door."
Xiaoqi found Wen Wan's pajamas before leaving.
Wen Wan took a shower, and the effects of the alcohol kicked in. Suddenly, she missed Gu Yiqin.
So I lay in bed and made a video call to Teacher Gu.
The call was connected very quickly.
Gu Yiqin looked over and saw Wen Wan wearing a fluffy nightgown, staring intently at him.
"Hello, Teacher Gu."
Gu Yiqin: "Have you been drinking?"
Wen Wan complained, "The director treated us to dinner, and I drank one and a half cans of beer. It tasted awful."
"Don't drink it anymore, especially when you're out."
"Um."
Wen Wan began to complain, "I'm so angry about Shen Yu."
"What's wrong?"
"She kept getting close to me with an ulterior motive; she wanted to create a romantic pairing with me."
Gu Yiqin: "???"
He knew that creating a romantic pairing was a marketing tactic in the industry, but if he remembered correctly, Shen Yu should be the female lead of this drama, right?
“She didn’t have her eye on me, she had her eye on you. If Teacher Gu hadn’t been so supportive of me and personally called the director to praise me, she wouldn’t have taken a liking to me.”
Gu Yiqin: "..."
