Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Joining the crew for filming
Chapter 20
Lou Su looked at the floor. It was the twelfth floor now. Did they arrive so soon?
Lou Su sent a message to Xia Nuan. After receiving the reply, he let out a breath and slowly walked up.
Why did I hear a knock on the door? Lou Su quickened his pace. Before he even reached the thirteenth floor, he saw Ye Li standing there. Lou Su stared at him for a few seconds, then he looked at the sign in front of the door. "Why are you here?"
Ye Li raised the hand holding the thermos.
Lou Su's expression changed, and he suddenly asked, "Why is Mr. Ye standing outside?"
Ye Li was about to say something.
The door opened, and Xia Nuan poked her head out. Ye Li's expression lit up, but he only heard her say, "Lou Su, come in."
The smile on Ye Li's face froze a little. Lou Su raised his eyebrows, chuckled at Ye Li, and walked past him in.
Lou Su turned around and glanced at Ye Li who was still standing outside the door. He curled the corners of his lips, a look of complacency in his eyes, and closed the door.
Xia Nuan poured Lou Su a glass of water. "Which script did Langfeng plan to give me? But why did you come to my house to tell me? I thought you would ask me to go to Langfeng Building in person."
Lou Su pursed her lips and smiled. "I'll do it. The script has already been finalized and is for you. You mentioned before that your relationship with the company wasn't good, so I didn't have Langfeng contact your agent."
Xia Nuan nodded slightly and took the contract. "Thank you very much. I'd be grateful for your help."
She spoke very politely, and Lou Su's smile faded.
This is an A-grade ancient idol drama that tells the story of Mu Jin, the princess of the Chixia Kingdom, whose family was destroyed, who disguised herself as a man and came to the Central Plains for revenge, but later became emotionally entangled with Xie Yanming, the prince of the Yan Dynasty.
The heroine is not in love. The story is quite funny in the early stages before her identity is revealed. She approaches Xie Yanming and treats him as a brother, while secretly assassinating him multiple times. After her identity is revealed, a tragic love affair begins. However, the heroine is not in love, and the final ending is BE.
The heroine's character is very good, and the love and intrigue in the play are not particularly childish. Xia Nuan's eyes lit up when she saw the script. She didn't expect Lang Feng to be willing to give her this script.
Lou Su coughed lightly.
Xia Nuan looked up from the script and said, "Sorry, I was so engrossed in it. Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't think Lang Feng would have given me this script."
Lou Su suppressed a smile. "This drama will start filming in about three months. You should have seen the male lead, it's Ji Mian. What are your plans after your breakup with your agency? Will they suppress your announcements and business?"
I was originally wondering what to do if the filming of the TV series conflicts with the movie, but now it’s quite a coincidence that I don’t have this worry anymore.
"You're overthinking it. I've been on ice for a year, so there's no way I'd have any business announcements. Besides, my contract with the company is going to expire in a few months. Even if they wanted to pressure me, they don't have the right to do so."
Xia Nuan handed the signed contract to Lou Su, "Please take this back with you. Now we owe each other nothing."
Xia Nuan smiled happily, and her smile hurt Lou Su. She really didn't like me.
"Are you free? I'd like to invite you out for some fun." Lou Su took the contract and mustered up the courage to look up. Xia Nuan's face was reflected in his light brown eyes. It was the first time he looked directly into Xia Nuan's eyes since entering the room. "Is that okay?"
Xia Nuan shook her head awkwardly. "Sorry, I'm going to start filming in a few days, so I'm really not in the mood to go out and play."
Lou Su said "oh" and lowered his head as if to hide his disappointment. He asked casually, "What do you want to shoot?"
Xia Nuan thought for a while and said, "Sorry, I signed a confidentiality agreement."
Lou Su was crying a little. He was silent for a second, and when he looked up again, he had returned to normal.
Lou Su raised an eyebrow, "Confidentiality agreement. You're shooting a movie, right? How long will it take?"
Xia Nuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm not too sure, but probably two or three months. It depends on the director's arrangements."
Although Xia Nuan didn't say it explicitly, they both knew that their relationship would automatically end after they came back.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Lou Su's tone was still the same as before, but his brows were getting colder.
"No need to see you off. Goodbye."
Xia Nuan smiled and sent him out the door, and then the corners of her originally happy mouth immediately drooped.
It's not that she didn't notice that Lou Su treated her a little differently, but it was precisely because of this difference that she felt a little out of control.
The variety show has ended, and the relationship between the top and bottom characters in the novel should have gradually unfolded. But why is reality completely different?
[System, I know you can hear me. Why are the people I've been interacting with so far different from how I imagined the novel's plot? You should have noticed that I've already remembered the novel's plot. Your initial statement about the world's will to maintain the plot doesn't contradict the current situation.]
The crackling sound of electricity continued for a long time. Just when Xia Nuan thought she would not receive a reply, the system spoke.
[Host, this isn't a fictional world; it's reality. How the world develops isn't something a fictional plot can control. All we have to do now is maintain it to the greatest extent possible.]
This was the second time Xia Nuan heard the system say this, but the feeling was completely different from the last time.
After the finale of "A Concubine's Daughter Should Not Be Bullied", especially with the release of the clip of Xia Nuan vomiting blood on the verge of death, Xia Nuan's popularity has increased a little bit, and it is positive popularity.
Many people contacted Dahong Media, hoping that Xia Nuan would advertise or endorse their products, but they were all rejected. Over time, no one contacted them anymore.
Dahong Media is not planning to spread the news that Xia Nuan's contract with them has expired. Xia Nuan is currently in the limelight, and if the news gets out now, there will definitely be many companies contacting Xia Nuan to sign a contract with her.
Wang Haomin, the boss of Dahong Media, got the news from Yu Lilan that Xia Nuan would definitely not sign a contract with him. He gritted his teeth and laughed cruelly. In order to release the movie "The Concubine's Daughter Cannot Be Bullied", he had a falling out with his good brother.
And what should have been his cash cow is about to run away.
Wang Haomin is not blind. With Xia Nuan's looks and the fact that she is Lou Su's girlfriend, no matter whether they break up later or not, as long as Lou Su is involved, her popularity will never be low.
Even if she becomes a vase, there will be people who will buy into her. As long as you hold her in your hands, you will definitely reap great rewards in the future.
Wang Haomin sneered. If Xia Nuan couldn't sign in his company, he wouldn't let any other company sign her.
After her official announcement with Lou Su, Xia Nuan was already surrounded by a slew of negative rumors fabricated by countless marketing accounts. In this web series, she was the only female lead who stood out, and with the popularity, the various agencies, in order to prevent further explosions, naturally continued to fuel these negative rumors, with Dahong adding fuel to the fire.
However, everything is still fermenting secretly, and Xia Nuan knows nothing about it at the moment.
Lou Su made an announcement a few days ago, and fans found out from Reuters that Lou Su looked very upset, as if he had suffered a breakup.
Lou Su's relationship had changed, and this news was widely circulated by many gossip marketing accounts. Lou Su's super chat was also full of laughter, and fans began to comment and verify various things under Xia Nuan's Weibo, dancing happily.
Xia Nuan deleted the Weibo post without any explanation. Therefore, she didn't know that an hour later, Lou Su posted a Weibo post with just two words: "No."
——
On June 1st, Xia Nuan joined the group.
Su Yuzhou did a good job of keeping the film secret this time. Not only did the media not know that Su Yuzhou had started filming a new movie, they didn't even know that the film had started.
Even the lead role of Su Yuzhou's new movie, Xia Nuan, has not been chosen yet.
She had been in the crew for three days, and apart from the actors who appeared in the short story that Su Yuzhou gave her, Xia Nuan had not seen any other characters with names.
The crew was divided into two groups to shoot the film separately. Group A, where Xia Nuan was, used the Lu family mansion as the main filming location, and all the stories that happened were about the Lu family.
And her script only goes to the end of the story she has read.
Although no one directly treated Xia Nuan with disdain, she also noticed that these people treated her with a hint of contempt and disdain. Her status and acting skills were indeed somewhat different from those of other actors.
Xia Nuan was not overwhelmed by the looks and whispers behind her back.
Su Yuzhou did not let her start acting directly, but asked her to watch others act.
Before she joined the crew, Su Yuzhou clearly looked very eager to have her join the crew and start filming as soon as possible. Why did his attitude suddenly change so much after she joined the crew?
Xia Nuan had been watching for three days, from morning till night. She looked at the lines and imagined herself acting with them.
Sure enough, these people are so amazing, as if they are really characters in the play. Xia Nuan blinked and looked at the actors who were auditioning on the set, her eyes full of desire.
Su Yuzhou shouted "click".
He took off his headphones and hung them around his neck, stared at the monitor again, and nodded.
Su Yuzhou raised his eyelids, squinted at Mo Zhuyuan, and then glanced at Xia Nuan casually.
"Have you memorized all the lines from the script?"
Su Yuzhou suddenly spoke. Xia Nuan looked around and found that he was indeed talking to her.
Xia Nuan, "I remember everything."
Su Yuzhou: "If you want to say anything else, just say it."
Xia Nuan exhaled: "Director Su, you won't let me act?"
Su Yuzhou turned around, curled his lips, raised his chin, and motioned Xia Nuan to look at the screen, "How do you think your acting skills compare to Mo Zhuyuan's?"
The role played by Mo Zhuyuan is Wei Qiuyu's husband, and he is also the person who has the most rival scenes with Xia Nuan in the current script.
Xia Nuan pursed her lips and said, "Of course Senior Mo's acting is good."
"Do you think you can take over his role?" Su Yuzhou turned his head and glanced at Xia Nuan.
Can I? Xia Nuan asked herself, "Director Su, I want to try."
"Try it, then go ahead and try it."
Su Yuzhou called Mo Zhuyuan over.
Xia Nuan's breathing became a little rapid and her heartbeat began to accelerate.
