The driver took Chu Zhaozhao to the destination. Chu Zhaozhao hurried upstairs and sent a message to Xu Yu on the way.
I'm home and ready to get in the elevator.
What a coincidence! The driver's daughter is not only a fan of yours, but also your wife's fan.
Chu Zhaozhao knew that Xu Yu was either going through security or preparing to board the plane, and she didn't expect Xu Yu to reply to her message immediately.
But Xu Yu still replied to Chu Zhaozhao's message, and Chu Zhaozhao laughed at the emoticons sent by Xu Yu.
Did you try to persuade the driver not to let his daughter get too deeply involved?
"Of course, but she seems to be very obsessed with you. I don't know how long the driver's daughter has had a crush on you. Maybe it's longer than we've known each other."
After Chu Zhaozhao finished speaking, she felt that she shouldn't say these words anymore, so she sent another emoticon package to change the subject.
[By the way, be careful wherever you go lately. It sounds to me like the driver's daughter is a stalker fan, a student at that. She knows a lot about your itinerary. I'm sure they've taken photos of us together.]
Thinking of this, Chu Zhaozhao became uneasy. Their recent activities have been very high-profile. Although they are wearing masks, they may still be recognized by fans.
Chu Zhaozhao was worried that the revelation would have a huge impact on Xu Yu, but it was obvious that the official announcement would also have a profound impact on Xu Yu.
Xu Yu had already boarded the plane at this time. He didn't know how conflicted Chu Zhaozhao was at the moment, or whether she saw the message until she got off the plane.
The person who came to pick up Xu Yu had been waiting on the set early. Just as Xu Yu was about to get in the car, he realized that the person was not someone he knew.
"Are you new to the crew?"
Xu Yu was replying to Chu Zhaozhao's message and was about to click send when he heard the woman say that she was the assistant of so-and-so.
"Are you Gao Panpan's assistant?"
Xu Yu was stunned and took back his foot.
"Yes, Sister Panpan went to the crew first. She said she wanted to work with you on the new play."
The assistant looked at Xu Yu with a smile, but Xu Yu felt something was wrong and frowned.
"Didn't the director ask for a stand-in? If she wants to act with him, shouldn't she act with the stand-in?" Xu Yu asked.
The assistant smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, the director probably didn't have time to tell you, but finding a body double for you isn't easy. Finding someone with your exact figure and features is incredibly difficult. This scene requires both of you to be incredibly committed. Although it's a bit revealing, it's definitely going to be a classic."
"Actor, please get in the car quickly. The crew is here."
The assistant opened the car door for Xu Yu. Seeing this, Xu Yu took a few steps back, then called the director and stopped a car.
"Director, about the stand-in...?"
The director smiled awkwardly and said, "Xu Yu, you know, not everyone can be a stand-in for the best actor. The time is so short, it's really too late."
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to shoot this scene."
Xu Yu refused outright and was even hesitating whether to join the crew.
"Is it because of Gao Panpan? Her acting is very good and her eyes are also on point. Are you dissatisfied?" the director asked patiently.
"No, it's just that I don't shoot scenes like this, never. Maybe my agent didn't make it clear to you when we were discussing the contract. If you can't delete this scene, then I'll find a stand-in to play it myself."
Xu Yu spoke so decisively that the director didn't know what to say.
The director tried to persuade Xu Yu earnestly, but Xu Yu refused to act.
"Xu Yu, why are you so stubborn? This clip will become a classic, and this scene will become a textbook. How can you bear to let it go?" the director asked in confusion.
Xu Yu didn't care about these things. He said word by word: "I have things I care about. Even if I didn't care about them, I wouldn't act in this scene."
Xu Yu hung up the phone, and both he and the director were secretly angry at the phone.
When Xu Yu arrived at the set, there was a young man waiting there. Judging from his attire, he should be Xu Yu's stand-in.
Whether in terms of facial features or figure, he doesn't look like Xu Yu, because the makeup artist and costume designer spent a lot of time and effort on the stand-in.
"Mr. Xu, it's a pleasure to work with you. But now the whole crew knows that you don't want to act with me. Is it because I did something that made you uncomfortable?"
Gao Panpan spoke in a delicate voice, but Xu Yu felt a little pain in his ears.
"No, you're fine. It's my problem."
Gao Panpan pursed her lips and smiled, took small steps towards Xu Yu, and hooked Xu Yu's belt in public.
Xu Yu took several steps back and bumped into the fill light beside him.
"Oh, Mr. Xu, why are you so careless? Are you hurt?" Gao Panpan said, holding Xu Yu's arm.
Xu Yu shook off Gao Panpan's hand, and the staff also appeared and helped pick up everything.
"Mr. Xu, I don't mean anything else. I just want to have a good chat with you. If you strike without giving a reason, everyone will think it's my fault."
Gao Panpan threw a coquettish glance at Xu Yu, and Xu Yu turned sideways. He didn't know why Gao Panpan could be so carefree in public.
"Mr. Xu, what's wrong with this scene? Even though it's a bit explicit, I'm not worried about it because I'm a girl, so why should you be worried? Besides, you don't have a girlfriend, so no one should blame you for acting in this kind of scene, right?"
Gao Panpan asked Xu Yu with a smile.
"If anyone asks, just say I don't want to act in this kind of drama, or you can say I'm being a big shot. It's up to you."
After Xu Yu finished speaking, he went into his dressing room. Gao Panpan glanced at Xu Yu at the door, then left reluctantly.
"If you can get close to Xu Yu, your future will be much easier. Xu Yu's connections will ensure you never have to worry about finding a job. No one will look down on you anymore."
A woman next to Gao Panpan followed her closely and kept talking in Gao Panpan's ear.
Gao Panpan seemed a little tired of listening and stopped the woman from continuing.
"I know. Don't I know all this? I need you to tell me so much nonsense. Xu Yu didn't even want to act out this scene with me, so how could he be willing to have more contact with me? You saw it too. What's the difference between his behavior just now and that of a monk? I did all that, but he remained indifferent. What else do you want from me?"
Gao Panpan asked the woman angrily and growled. The woman remained silent and just looked at Gao Panpan coldly.
"This is the path you chose. You have to walk this path. Once you embark on it, there is no turning back. You know it yourself. The persona the company has packaged for you cannot withstand scrutiny. You only have hope for this period of time. If you don't seize the opportunity, you can't blame others."
The woman left coldly after saying a few words. Gao Panpan glared in the direction she left.
Xu Yu in the dressing room was still adjusting his state and thinking about how to get rid of this crew.
