Chapter 3 Accompanying Mao Xiaotong to catch her husband cheating
"Boss Yu, haven't we already taken care of the media? As long as the news is suppressed, the filming schedule won't be affected at all!"
Director Deng Weien looked anxious. The crew was burning through six figures every day, and what he feared most was that such an unexpected situation would cause production to stop.
Actually, I feel the most sorry for Yu Zheng.
Zhang Zhehan was a newcomer he planned to promote, and he had invested a lot in him in the early stages. However, this incident he committed will affect the broadcast of the entire drama if it is exposed by the media.
"Suppress it? Who can guarantee it won't explode in the future? Who will bear that risk?" Yu Zheng waved his hand firmly and said:
"I've already found a replacement."
"Who?" Li Huizhu asked immediately.
"Which company's actor is it? Is their image compatible?"
Yu Zheng took out his phone, ready to make a call:
"I'll call him over here, you guys take a look!"
A phone call was made.
Five minutes later.
Xu Lang knocked on the door and came in; the two directors looked up.
He was elegant and handsome, with a youthful air about him and a touch of nobility in his eyes.
It's as if Yelü Qi has stepped into reality, even more fitting than Zhang Zhehan.
Their eyes lit up; Yelü Qi was simply the chosen one.
"This child's appearance is quite suitable... Boss Yu, where did you find him?" Li Huizhu's gaze was fixed on him, and the more she looked at him, the more suitable he seemed.
Seeing that both of them stared wide-eyed, Yu Zheng knew he hadn't made a mistake in choosing them and said:
"It was given away with the breakfast purchase!"
"Was it a free gift with the breakfast purchase?"
The two directors glanced sideways, momentarily unable to catch up with this sudden leap in their train of thought.
However, they quickly realized that their boss was just that capricious; he might sign someone based on a photo or a video clip.
It's not impossible to give an actor a breakfast gift.
"Hello, Teacher Yu, hello, teachers!" Xu Lang actually knew these two people, back in the future.
Li Huizhu is the chief director of the "Condor Heroes" production team, and Deng Weien is also a director, but he focuses more on the action and the execution of some scenes.
After carefully observing him, Li Huizhu nodded slightly. His handsome appearance did indeed match Yelü Qi's, but her only concern was his acting skills.
"Are you an actor?"
Xu Lang frankly stated, "I am currently a model!"
"A model...you can tell!" Lee Hye-joo nodded; charisma and physique don't lie. She posed the key question:
"What do you think is performance?"
"I think acting is all about deception!" Xu Lang blurted out, a conclusion drawn from over a decade of playing minor roles and auditing classes.
Upon hearing this, the three were clearly taken aback, seemingly not entirely satisfied with the answer.
He hurriedly explained, "Acting is an art of deception. First, you have to deceive your own brain: I am him, and deceive your own heart: I am experiencing his pain and ecstasy, until your physical reactions betray you, shedding tears for a fictional farewell and trembling for an imagined victory."
"Ultimately, the goal is to deceive the audience's time and emotions; I believe that's what acting is!"
clap clap clap...
Deng Weien couldn't help but applaud, his eyes full of admiration, and said:
"You must study acting quite a bit, right?"
Xu Lang smiled and said, "It's just something I've been guessing at. I've read some books and even audited some open classes at the performing arts academy."
"Okay, you're the one!" Lee Hye-joo was somewhat relieved, but worry still dominated her expression. After all, she was someone they had picked up halfway through her career, and she wasn't formally trained, so her acting skills were hard to judge.
"Theoretical knowledge is one thing, but practical application is the key."
But at this point, they had no choice but to try anything, since this person's appearance was a better fit than Zhang Zhehan's. They could just work harder and train him a bit more, which would also be a way of giving the producer, Yu Zheng, some face.
"You'll be familiar with the script immediately. The first scene at noon is your first encounter with Guo Fu in the woods; hurry up and rehearse with Mao Xiaotong to get to know each other better."
……
Emerging from the director's booth.
Xu Lang's gaze swept across the film set—not far away, Qin Lan, dressed in plain clothes, was touching up her makeup; Yang Rong's Mei Chaofeng look was gloomy and gorgeous; and Zhang Xinyu, playing Li Mochou, was twirling her whisk as she moved around.
This is a world teeming with celebrities, and now, he's stepped right in.
His gaze lingered under the parasol, and surprisingly, he could also see Mao Xiaotong.
Just as she went inside, her best friend Liu Yuxin came over. Shouldn't they have gone to catch the adulterer together?
Besides Mao Xiaotong and Liu Yuxin, Chen Xiang was also present under the parasol.
It seems there has been an argument!
Information about the two of them flashed through my mind.
The two fell in love while filming this drama, beginning a five-year-long relationship.
Later, when Chen Xiang was caught cheating, Mao Xiaotong's clean and efficient departure from the scumbag became a popular story online.
He took a few steps closer, and the faint sound of their conversation drifted over.
As expected, Mao Xiaotong wanted to go to the "set" with her best friend, but Chen Xiang strongly objected, citing reasons such as "affecting filming," "being photographed by the media," and "ruining her future."
The two sides disagreed and reached a stalemate; otherwise, they wouldn't have waited for Xu Lang to come out of the director's studio.
"It's only 9:30 now, and our show is at 2 PM, we have plenty of time!" Mao Xiaotong grabbed her best friend's hand, her attitude firm.
"Chen Xiang, you don't have to go, but please don't restrict me. I don't like it when people don't support me and even stop me."
Chen Xiang looked helpless and tried to persuade him earnestly:
"I'm doing this for your own good! What if the paparazzi take pictures of you? What about your fledgling career? The director will definitely be furious if he finds out!"
"Hmph, it's none of your business!" Mao Xiaotong grabbed her best friend's hand and was about to leave.
But Chen Xiang stopped them, standing in front of the two girls:
"I won't let you go."
"Get out of the way!" Mao Xiaotong's chubby cheeks puffed up with anger, making her look both cute and fierce.
But Chen Xiang just wouldn't back down!
"Teacher Mao, I support you in catching the adulterer!" Xu Lang said, revealing a bright and sunny smile:
"When it comes to catching adulterers red-handed, the key is to catch them red-handed. I'll come with you; having an extra helper will be helpful."
"It's you...?" Mao Xiaotong was a little surprised. It was that handsome boy from earlier who had been called away by Yu Zheng.
Chen Xiang was very displeased; his eyes narrowed as he stared at him.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in our affairs?"
Xu Lang glanced at him, completely unconcerned: "Teacher Mao, I play Yelü Qi in the drama, and Teacher Yu asked me to come over and get to know you."
"I think going to catch someone cheating together would be a good way to get to know them, don't you think?"
"If you're going to catch someone cheating, you have to catch them in the act. Otherwise, they might claim she's just my sister..."
Chen Xiang's face darkened further: "Xiao Tong, don't listen to the nonsense spouted by people of unknown origin..."
"I think he's right." Mao Xiaotong decisively interrupted Chen Xiang, giving Xu Lang a reassuring look:
"If you're going to catch someone cheating, you have to catch them in the act. Let's go!"
Xu Lang immediately understood and blocked Chen Xiang.
Mao Xiaotong's trust in Xu Lang was not unfounded. She had just seen Xu Lang answer Yu Zheng's call and thought about Zhang Zhehan's accident.
A last-minute replacement!
The possibility is great.
What's more... this guy has a righteous look and seems reliable.
The saying "good looks are justice" is, in some cases, an unspoken standard of judgment within the entertainment industry.
Chen Xiang glared angrily at Xu Lang, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the two girls who were quickly leaving; his eyes were almost piercing.
"Kid, meddling in other people's business will come at a price. You believe me? I'll make sure you don't stay on this set until tomorrow!"
"You mean you want to complain to the director? Go ahead!" Xu Lang sneered, completely unconcerned.
At this time, Chen Xiang was just a singer who had recently transitioned into acting, and he didn't have much influence in the industry, let alone much say in the production crew.
Not a threat!
I'm just going with the flow. As long as it doesn't delay the filming schedule, nothing will happen.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: don't walk around shirtless anymore. Also, if you have a girlfriend, don't pretend to be single on TV; it'll ruin your image!"
After saying that, he turned around and chased after the Mao Xiaotong sisters.
Chen Xiang was left standing there, stunned, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. If looks could kill, Xu Lang would have died a hundred times over.
