Wang Haoran drove to the set and parked his car before climbing out of the driver's seat of the McLaren.
"Hello, you must be Young Master Wang?"
A slightly plump middle-aged man jogged over with a flattering smile on his face as he asked Wang Haoran respectfully.
Wang Haoran sized up this unfamiliar middle-aged man and asked in surprise, "You know me?"
The middle-aged man chuckled. "Director Wang already gave me a heads-up and said you'd come by tonight. I've been waiting here since it got dark."
"But I've never seen you before, Young Master Wang. But I just saw a McLaren drive by, and then I saw a handsome young master with a noble aura like you walking by. Who else could it be other than you, Young Master Wang? "
Wang Haoran smiled faintly. This fatty was quite good at bootlicking. He asked:
"What do you do?"
"I'm the assistant director of the set," the middle-aged man replied hastily.
Wang Haoran nodded. An assistant director was a decent position and should be useful in some way.
The assistant director bent at the waist and gestured for him to enter. "Young Master Wang, I'll bring you into the set and give you a good introduction of the filming process."
Wang Haoran nodded.
The assistant director quickly led the way and brought Wang Haoran into the set.
This was a commercial plaza.
Currently, the set had already booked the place for filming some scenes related to the movie.
The people coming and going around were not customers, but some extras and crew members of the film crew.
En route, Wang Haoran thought of something and took out his phone to show the assistant director a photo he'd gotten from Lu Ming.
"Does your set have someone like this?"
The assistant director took a closer look and immediately recognized her. "I know this person. She's called Li Yunxi, a minor extras."
Wang Haoran silently nodded. Lu Ming had been beaten up because he'd asked for Li Yunxi's number.
Looking at Wang Haoran's pondering expression, the assistant director's heart skipped a beat. "Young Master Wang, are you interested in this minor actor?"
Wang Haoran didn't answer, but asked, "Do you know anything about this Li Yunxi?"
The assistant director said, "This Li Yunxi doesn't know any better. Otherwise, with her qualifications, how could she only be a minor character?"
Wang Haoran understood and immediately asked, "How do you know all this? Did you look for her in private?"
The assistant director smiled awkwardly. "Young Master Wang's insight is really amazing."
Wang Haoran asked, "What were the results?"
The assistant director replied honestly, "In the end, I didn't get any advantage at all. I even got slapped for nothing."
Wang Haoran felt that he had already guessed most of it. "Is it that popular actor, Shen Yixing, backing her up?"
The assistant director replied, "That's not it. It was the director who stepped in."
"Director? Then this director should have a good relationship with Shen Yixing. " According to past experiences, this director should be someone from Shen Yixing's camp.
The assistant director shook his head. "No, it's the exact opposite. The director and Shen Yixing's relationship is very bad. They often get into arguments."
This answer was beyond Wang Haoran's expectations.
"What kind of person is your director?"
The assistant director was both sour and jealous. "He's very young and handsome. He's already qualified to be the male lead. He's only 21 years old, but his family has three generations of directors. He has both background and power."
Wang Haoran fell into deep thought.
The assistant director's role was clearly that of a small villain.
That director had protected Li Yunxi and taught the assistant director a lesson. He should be a righteous character.
But if that was the case, how could he have conflicts with the main character, Shen Yixing? And he was handsome too.
Even though Wang Haoran had read all sorts of web novels in his past life, he still didn't understand because this was a blind spot in his knowledge.
But one thing was for sure: this Li Yunxi was definitely the female lead.
As they spoke, the assistant director had already brought Wang Haoran to a shop selling bags in the shopping mall.
"Young Master Wang, the actors are still putting on their makeup. It'll take a while before work starts, so we'll shoot here. I'll go hurry them up, you can sit here for a bit, "the assistant director said as he brought over a soft stool with a back and placed it by Wang Haoran's side.
"Go on," Wang Haoran sat down and waved a hand.
The assistant director nodded with a smile and left, but hurried to the rest area for the extras.
Although Wang Film Company hadn't been established for long, it was backed by tens of billions of Wang Group.
If they could curry favor with the young master of Wang Group, they could achieve meteoric success.
Thus, the assistant director took matters into his own hands and came up with an idea.
His gaze swept across the crowd, and very soon, he saw a beautiful figure that stood out like a crane among chickens.
"Li Yunxi, come here for a bit," the assistant director beckoned.
A figure unwillingly walked out from the crowd and stopped three meters away from the assistant director.
"Come a bit closer!" the assistant director said unhappily.
"I'm standing right here. If you have something to say, just say it. If we're too close, I'm afraid your breath will stink," Li Yunxi didn't give him any face.
The extras around them couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?!" The assistant director lost all face and gave an angry snort to stop the laughter of the extras. Then he suppressed his anger and said to Li Yunxi,
"The young master of Wang Film Company, Young Master Wang, wants to see you. Come with me," the assistant director wanted to say it quietly, but Li Yunxi didn't want to get close.
"What young master of Wang Film Company? Tell him to scram! I, Li Yunxi, won't yield to anyone!" Li Yunxi straightened her neck and replied sternly.
The assistant director raged, "You don't know how to appreciate favors! Young Master Wang's family has tens of billions of assets. He's even more handsome than the top male celebrities in the entertainment circle. Who knows how many women dream of winning his favor? Now that he's interested in you, it means he thinks highly of you. You actually dare to slander him? Don't you want to make a living?! "
"I don't care if he has tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of assets. I'm not going," Li Yunxi spat disdainfully.
"You! Don't regret it! "the assistant director gave an angry snort before storming off in a huff.
After leaving the extras, the assistant director came to Wang Haoran's side and told him everything that had happened with Li Yunxi.
After hearing this, Wang Haoran immediately frowned and blamed the assistant director for acting on his own initiative. He then asked,
He then asked, "What's Li Yunxi's family background like?"
The assistant director immediately replied, "They come from the countryside. Their background couldn't be more ordinary."
Wang Haoran continued to ask, "Then does Li Yunxi's attitude only target a few people, or is it the same for everyone?"
The assistant director replied, "It's the same for everyone. She never gives anyone face. Even the director and Shen Yixing are the same."
Hearing this, Wang Haoran fell into deep thought again.
He felt that the female lead, Li Yunxi, was an iron-headed person if you put it nicely. But if you put it bluntly, there was something wrong with her head.
It was one thing to scold the assistant director, but she even slandered the investor in front of everyone.
If the investor pulled out, how were they supposed to continue filming?
Wouldn't that be harming the entire cast?
Moreover, with Li Yunxi's personality, she wouldn't give anyone face. She wouldn't be likable in front of the main character, right?
As the main character, how could he stand facing a female lead who didn't give him any face at all?
Wang Haoran searched through all the thousands of novels he'd read in his mind, but couldn't find a suitable female lead for Li Yunxi.
