Chapter 597 : Lu Nanze Slays Best Actor Shen (7)
When this question was raised, Qiao Lian’s heart instantly leapt.
Her heart almost collapsed.
In the past, she hadn’t known that Zi Chuan was Shen Liangchuan. She had thought that it was Zi Chuan who had fooled her.
However, ever since she found out about the secret from that room on the third floor, she immediately knew… Zi Chuan hadn’t fooled her.
She had been in Zi Chuan’s heart all along.
So what on earth had been going on at that time?
This time around, she had gone Hengdian with the purpose of enquiring about this issue, which she hadn’t had a chance to.
She stared at him closely and saw that when he heard this, he narrowed his eyes and subconsciously pursed his lips.
Qiao Lian bit her lip and asked, “Was it because of Song Yuanxi?”
Although Shen Liangchuan was expressionless, the look in his eyes had obviously changed.
It was because of her.
Qiao Lian did not speak further.
She was afraid that she would get a reply that put their relationship in a stalemate situation.
She bit her lip, turned around and looked outside. “I’ll wait till the day you have decided to tell me all about it. Please do so.”
Shen Liangchuan seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand to rub her head.
Although both of them had unresolved burdens, at this moment, they both felt that their relationship seemed to have grown a little closer.
–
The filming crew in Hengdian turned chaotic.
The lead actor had gone on a strike.
What did this imply?
This meant that the filming would not be able to be on schedule and be screened next year.
Everything had been well prepared and ready. If filming was cancelled for a day, it would mean a loss on a day’s labor, cost and venue fees.
Adding up all the different expenses, even if they got Shen Liangchuan’s 50 million, it wouldn’t cover the cost for a long period of time.
The director panicked.
The whole movie depended on Shen Liangchuan. As the female lead actress was a newbie, she did not have any reputation per se.
Apart from that, the other famous actors who could be on par with Shen Liangchuan did not have any available slots in their filming schedule.
The director almost wanted to cry.
The investor had thought of setting Best Actor Shen up but in the end, he was being set up by Best Actor Shen instead.
Best Actor Shen only had to give 50 million, which was not enough to cover the losses for the filming crew.
“What should we do now?”
The director mumbled and nagged at the stage supervisor. “Mr. Lu called to tell us to look for another male lead. But he doesn’t know that looking for a replacement of the male lead is an arduous task. For this kind of movie, with such a big production and fanbase, it will not work if we were to just get a pretty boy without good acting skills.”
The stage supervisor wanted to add something when the actor playing the male supporting role walked in.
Chen Junjie, who was playing the male supporting role, was considered a veteran who had been in the entertainment industry for three years. His acting skills were fine and he was quite popular, it was just that he had always been pretty stagnant.
However not too long ago, he had acted in an idol drama which had catapulted him to fame, and it went viral. This resulted in him being recently quite popular.
He smiled at Director Wang and said, “Director Wang, are you free? I would like to invite you both for a meal.”
At the dining table.
Chen Junjie smiled and said, “Director Wang, actually, I am very familiar with the character Cao Cao and have a deep understanding of it. Before entering the filming set, I did research on this character so as to deepen my understanding of him. Now that we are short of someone in the filming crew, perhaps…”
The meaning was evident.
However, with issues pertaining the male lead, Director Wang definitely could not agree straightaway, so he smiled and replied, “Do let me consider it.”
Chen Junjie immediately rejoiced.
After they finished their meal, Director Wang headed back to the filming set together with the stage supervisor.
The stage supervisor inquired, “Is it true that you would allow Chen Junjie to play the male lead?”
Director Wang frowned and was intending to say something when he saw Mo Xicheng, clad in traditional clothes and walking by.
Director Wang eyes suddenly lit up.
