Fang Zhenxuan had been busy since his debut and hadn't had much rest, but when he heard that Chu Xiang wanted to snatch Xia Ze's good resources, he was immediately full of fighting spirit and didn't feel tired at all.
Chu Xiang was still very confident in snatching resources. Their weakness was obvious, that was, Fang Zhenxuan wasn't as popular as Xia Ze. But they had an advantage that Xia Ze didn't have, that was, the male lead of this movie was a lawyer. Fang Zhenxuan's professionalism and acting skills were much better than Xia Ze's.
Whether to choose popularity or acting skills was a matter of consideration for the director, producer, and investor. The most important thing was that Hongyao Entertainment planned to invest, and after the investment, they would naturally choose Xia Ze as the male lead. Xia Ze intended to increase his strength and produce representative works, so Hongyao would definitely fully support him and plate this money tree with a layer of gold.
They were almost done talking. Chu Xiang communicated with Mr. Liang overnight and convinced him. The next day, they made a dinner appointment and asked Mr. Liang to accompany them to meet the director, producer, and screenwriter.
At the dinner table, Mr. Liang said that Xingchen Entertainment was willing to invest 30 million yuan, and Chu Xiang also said that she would personally add 30 million yuan. In this way, their investment was already higher than the price offered by Hongyao. In addition to the other two investors, the movie had already received an investment of 80 million yuan, and there was no need to find others to invest at all!
This was just a comedy, mainly about a lawyer who lost his lawyer's license by accident and became a private detective. Then, he accidentally saved a girl on the road and got involved in a big case. In the end, he used his high IQ and professional acuity to solve the case.
There was no need for any big production or special post-production in the plot. A movie made with 80 million yuan was definitely a carefully made movie.
While they were deliberating, Chu Xiang smiled again. "In fact, the investment is not about who has more money or doing capitalism, but Mr. Liang and I are very optimistic about this project, and we are also very optimistic about Zhenxuan's acting skills and audience support."
Mr. Liang and the others clinked their glasses and smiled. "Chu Xiang is right. Zhenxuan is excellent in all aspects. The directors, actors, and producers who have worked with him all praise him."
Fang Zhenxuan stood up and poured wine for everyone. He raised his glass and said modestly, "Everyone here is my senior. I'm still inexperienced and don't know much. I only know that one step at a time should be a bit more stable. The role in this movie is a lawyer, which happens to be my profession and dream, so I don't want to miss this opportunity. Please give me a chance to audition. "
Chu Xiang stood up and patted Zhenxuan on the shoulder. "Everyone may not know Zhenxuan very well. Why don't we let him try out a play when he has time? She would only know how good Kung Fu was after seeing it, right? "Also, I learned that there is a girl who has been following the protagonist in the script. Coincidentally, our Zhenxuan has a 5-year-old niece. She is beautiful and cute. She has also acted in two movies and has a very good relationship with Zhenxuan. If the two of them were to play the role, there would be no need to worry about the tacit understanding and coordination between the two characters. "
The scriptwriter's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fang's niece can also act?"
Fang Zhenxuan nodded. "She likes acting very much, and her talent is not bad. We let her act twice after school. If she has a chance to be on the big screen, she will definitely be overjoyed. "
The scriptwriter had carefully polished his script. He didn't know how many times he had polished it. He knew all the plots like the back of his hand. Even the plots that were not written in the script were in his mind. Zheng Nainxuan's gaze fell on Chu Xiang's delicate face. Thinking of Chu Xiang's strong and calm aura from the moment she appeared, her heart beat faster. She asked tentatively, "Sister Chu, can you act? There is a role in the script … that can play the role of the finishing touch, but I never thought of who would be suitable for it, so I removed this role. Today, when I saw Sister Chu, I really feel that you are very suitable in all aspects. It's just a cameo, just two or three scenes. What do you think? "
Chu Xiang was stunned for a moment, but she soon smiled. "It's my honor. Why don't we take the children to audition together?"
The audition was settled just like that. The amount of investment had already surpassed Hong Yao's. Now that Fang Zhenxuan, Xin Xin, and Chu Xiang were bound to act, if the audition was good, their chances of winning would increase by several times!
When Xia Ze heard the news, his mood was abnormally bad. He was filming in the set of "Reunion" and was also the second male lead. He had fully expected that "Reunion" and "Turning" would clash during the winter holidays. He and Fang Zhenxuan would be compared again.
However, he didn't expect Fang Zhenxuan to dare to compete with him for "Journey Detective". He had finally chosen this show, thinking that comedies didn't particularly require high acting skills. Moreover, the characters were likable and the plot was interesting. It was very likely that a popular idol like him would succeed in his transformation. Now, Fang Zhenxuan was competing with him again.
Xia Ze made a few calls to the company, and the company had also discussed with the producers. Even if they wanted to increase the investment, the producers wanted to wait for the audition before making a decision. After all, he could increase the investment, and Chu Xiang didn't lack money either. Under the situation where the investment was about the same, why not choose someone with better acting skills? Even if Xia Ze's popularity was high, there had never been a precedent for a popular idol to carry the box office. Wasn't it a gamble to hire a popular idol?
In the end, Hong Yao only managed to get Xia Ze a chance to audition. It was a fair competition. If his acting skills were good enough to make the director and scriptwriter feel that he was more suitable, then he would be chosen.
What was originally a sure thing was turned into an audition by Fang Zhenxuan's interference. Xia Ze was so angry that he kicked over a chair in the crew's lounge!
This time, Chu Xiang didn't give him a chance to do anything. She was one step ahead of him and released the news that the two of them were competing for the role.
Fang Zhenxuan and Xia Ze were competing for a role again, and it was the male lead of a movie. Everyone's first reaction when they saw the news was that Fang Zhenxuan could be the male lead of a movie? He was on the same level as Xia Ze? Was he that popular?
Then, someone thought that Fang Zhenxuan's acting skills were better than Xia Ze's. If they wanted to watch the movie well, they should definitely support Fang Zhenxuan!
Previously, the video of Fang Zhenxuan and Xia Ze's audition for 'Turning' was reposted in various ways. This video didn't need to be studied. Anyone with eyes could see that Fang Zhenxuan's acting skills were better than Xia Ze's. Passersby all hoped that Fang Zhenxuan could act in this movie.
Xia Ze's fans were furious. They scolded Fang Zhenxuan for scamming. A celebrity who had only debuted for half a year had forgotten his surname after being on the hot search a few times. Was he addicted to snatching Xia Ze's resources? Who did he think he was?!
Xia Ze's fans were used to being flamboyant. They were once jokingly called the invincible person in the entertainment industry. Previously, many of them were sued by Chu Xiang because they weren't prepared. This time, before they went down, the big fans called on the scattered fans and sternly ordered them not to use any dirty words to scold Fang Zhenxuan. They accused Fang Zhenxuan of being a scammer and taking advantage of Xia Ze's popularity. They also questioned whether Fang Zhenxuan was qualified to be the male lead of a New Year's movie.
Xia Ze's fans went crazy. Relying on their numbers, they almost took over Fang Zhenxuan's Weibo. Once the Weibo was opened, it was filled with their questioning posts. It was very ugly. Fang Zhenxuan's fans discussed for a while and quickly controlled the comments. They pointed out that the choice of the protagonist and Chun Xinrao was up to the investors and the director to choose the role. There was no first come first serve in filming, and there was no pushing and shoving. There was no problem with fair competition.
Xia Ze's fans declared that they wanted to boycott 'Journey Detective'. They accused 'Journey Detective' of not making a good movie and bowing to the investors. They also accused Xing Chen and Chu Xiang of stealing Xia Ze's resources just because Fang Zhenxuan had already been chosen.
Fang Zhenxuan's fans were neither servile nor overbearing. In the competition in the industry, only the capable could win. If they really didn't want the investors to interfere, then they should have used their acting skills to determine the winner. Wouldn't that be more obvious?
Xia Ze and Fang Zhenxuan's fans were completely at odds. Although Fang Zhenxuan did not have as many fans as Xia Ze, his fans were very united. Under the leadership of a law student, they were unusually rational. They did not do anything stupid and did not say anything stupid. Their comments were all concise and clear, pointing out the other party's flaws and expressing their stance.
In comparison, Fang Zhenxuan's fans were actually not at a disadvantage. Instead, Xia Ze's fans seemed to be unreasonable. What were they doing? Did Xia Ze have to pick the entertainment industry's resources? Did he have to pick the leftovers to give to others? Xia Ze had been popular for so many years. They did not believe that he had not stolen other people's resources before. Why couldn't others steal his resources now? Fang Zhenxuan's acting skills were better than his, and the investment was in place. Why couldn't he win?
As the crowd was arguing, they were suddenly shocked. Chu Xiang was also an investor? They did not know where the insider came from, but Chu Xiang had personally invested 30 million. She was really a tycoon!
Xia Ze's fans said sarcastically: [Fang Zhenxuan must be Chu Xiang's sugar daddy! Hehe, this old lady has invested so much money. I hope you get dumped soon!]
Chu Xiang's fans were immediately unhappy: [Who is this old lady? Show me your photos. If you're more beautiful than Sister Xiang, I'll take your surname! My Sister Xiang has a lot of money. She can spend it however she wants. If you have the ability, why don't you crowdfund and invest for Xia Ze? If you can't, don't talk nonsense!]
Fang Zhenxuan's fans were also very angry: [When did you get scolded because of your acting skills and the support of your company and manager? Do you want to use your popularity to dominate the market? That depends on whether the market will buy it or not. If you don't have reason, you're making a scene and spreading rumors. I suggest you study more and your idols study more.]
The Zhenxiang CP fans were even angrier: [My two babies are true love! A golden boy and a jade girl. Their looks can beat your family, okay? Honestly, think about what kind of girlfriend your Xia Ze will find? Please imagine for yourself. Can she be better than my Xiang Xiang? The one who flirts first is cheap! Don't be disrespectful to your seniors. You're not worthy of representing Xia Ze. We're scolding you idiots!]
Their fans retorted stubbornly and made it clear that they were scolding Xia Ze's fans, not Xia Ze. They had no intention of disrespecting their seniors. However, at the same time, they also dug out all the gossip about Xia Ze in the eight years since his debut.
Girlfriend scandals, role stealing, acting like a big shot, being in a daze during the recording of the show, scolding fans behind their backs for being low-quality, and so on. After reposting these gossip, the accompanying text was all "Is it true?" It made it impossible for people to think that they were spreading rumors. After all, they weren't the ones who posted it. They were just expressing their doubts.
For a moment, Xia Ze's scandals were flying everywhere. It was unclear if it was true or not, but the passers-by had a bad impression of him. Xia Ze's fans also wanted to defame Fang Zhenxuan, but Fang Zhenxuan had just debuted half a year ago and was still busy with work. There was nothing to expose. If they spread rumors, Chu Xiang's lawyer's letter and the legal army's report were waiting. They didn't dare to be blind.
The situation slowly changed, and the dispute between Fang Zhenxuan and Xia Ze's fans further proved that popularity was no longer the way to go. Whether it was a celebrity or a fan, only those with ability, substance, and quality could withstand the attacks of the storm and persevere until victory. Otherwise, they would only be like bubbles that could be blown away.
Because it involved the battle between those with ability and those with popularity, this matter actually caught the attention of many people in the industry. There were also people who called to ask about the details. When they heard that Fang Zhenxuan was bringing his manager and niece to film, they couldn't understand. Usually, bringing people into the cast was considered a disadvantage, right? How did it become an advantage for him? Could Chu Xiang and Xin Xin give him extra points?
Under such attention, 'Journey Detective' arranged for Fang Zhenxuan and Xia Ze to audition. Fang Zhenxuan carried Xin Xin all the way and walked beside Chu Xiang. Before entering the room, he reminded Xin Xin uneasily, "Don't run around, okay? Don't talk to people you don't know. Some people are good-looking, but they might be bad people. "
Xin Xin giggled and poked his face. "Uncle, we're all good-looking. We're all good people."
Sister Wen smiled gently at the side. "Mr. Fang, don't worry. I'll take good care of Xin Xin."
Fang Zhenxuan nodded. "Okay, sorry to trouble you."
Sister Wen was a highly educated and professional nanny. She was indeed very reliable. For so long, she had been taking good care of Xin Xin and had never made a mistake. Fang Zhenxuan was relieved that she would always be with Xin Xin.
The audition was held in a hotel suite. When they entered, they saw that Xia Ze and his manager had already arrived. Fang Zhenxuan saw Xia Ze's eyes flash and immediately looked at Xin Xin's expression.
Xin Xin only looked at the people in the room curiously. Then, she hugged Fang Zhenxuan's neck and whispered in his ear, "Uncle, is your bad guy the one in white? I won't talk to him! "
Fang Zhenxuan smiled. "Xin Xin, be good. Follow Sister Wen and perform well later." Then, he walked forward and greeted Chu Xiang.
This was the first time Xia Ze saw Fang Zhenxuan in person. He looked at Fang Zhenxuan seriously and wondered if they had any grudges or met before. When he looked at him, he did seem familiar, but he didn't have any impression of him.
He looked at Chu Xiang again. He didn't have any impression of this woman who used to be Chen Lifeng's manager. He and Chen Lifeng didn't walk the same path and had never worked together. It was impossible for them to have a grudge.
He looked at Xin Xin again. Xin Xin was indeed cute and made him feel close to her, but he still didn't have any impression of her. He didn't know these people at all, so why did Fang Zhenxuan steal his resources twice? Was it really just because they looked alike?
The casting storm was quite big. The director and producer didn't waste any time and directly gave them the same two scenes to audition.
In one scene, the male lead and the girl were trapped in a room. The criminals were about to arrive, and the male lead calmly set the trap step by step. Then, he held the girl's hand and left calmly.
The other scene was at the end. The male lead held the girl's hand and walked to the crowd step by step. A woman was sitting there and slowly raised her head to reveal her face. She looked at the male lead from afar and a gunfight was about to break out. Then, the girl saw the woman happily shouting "Mom" and ran to her. At the same time, the male lead and the woman gave up attacking.
Xia Ze politely asked Fang Zhenxuan to perform first. He also thought that since his acting skills weren't as good as Fang Zhenxuan's, he might as well see how Fang Zhenxuan acted. He could adapt or imitate Fang Zhenxuan's acting.
Fang Zhenxuan squatted in front of Xin Xin and explained the scene to her. Xin Xin quickly understood and nodded to show that she understood. Fang Zhenxuan turned to look at Chu Xiang and then took Xin Xin to the center of the living room to perform.
Xin Xin knocked over the oil painting plate. Fang Zhenxuan bent down and smiled as he scratched the tip of her nose and said helplessly, "Naughty! If you continue to be like this, I'll leave you alone. "
Xin Xin wrinkled her nose and hugged his leg intimately. She looked up and smiled. "You won't. Uncle is the best. You must help me find my mom!"
Fang Zhenxuan carried her into the bathroom and carefully washed her hands. "Call me brother! Hurry up and wash up. It's time to eat. "
At this moment, they heard some noise outside the door. The two stopped and looked at each other. Fang Zhenxuan put up his index finger and gestured for Xin Xin to be quiet. Xin Xin nodded and then ran to the door lightly and quickly. She leaned against the door and listened to the sound outside. She turned back and rushed to Fang Zhenxuan's side and mouthed, "So many people".
Fang Zhenxuan glanced at the furnishings in the room and carried Xin Xin to the window of a room. Then, he went back to the kitchen and turned off the gas stove. He moved the microwave to the door and put in something explosive. Then, he calmly picked up Xin Xin's backpack and put in bread, water, and milk candy for Xin Xin. He tied Xin Xin to his body with a rope and pretended to climb out of the window.
"Cut. Very good! "The director nodded with a smile. He was obviously very satisfied with their performance. It was mainly because of the warm tacit understanding between the two, which was very suitable for the position of this comedy movie. It was also very suitable to highlight some warmth during the New Year.
The scriptwriter kept typing on his laptop while watching them. At this moment, he said to the director with bright eyes, "I think the character of the girl can be more three-dimensional. For example, it's easier to have sparks between the two of them. Moreover, the child can also participate in some comedic scenes. It will be very interesting."
This was his new idea. Originally, he was afraid that the child's acting skills were average, so he didn't dare to give her too many scenes. However, after seeing Xin Xin's performance, he felt that if he could give the character a soul, the movie would be more outstanding and fun.
The director nodded and let Fang Zhenxuan and Xin Xin rest. He motioned for Xia Ze to act. Xia Ze also brought a girl with him. She was the best child star that Hong Yao could find.
The girl had acted in a few movies and had some acting experience. She wasn't nervous and acted right away. Xia Ze carried her to wash her hands. However, he was inexperienced and accidentally splashed water into the child's eyes. He hurriedly took a towel to wipe it.
The director frowned slightly. The adult and the child didn't have a tacit understanding. Xia Ze obviously didn't take care of the child. If he acted, he would have to spend some time in this aspect.
Then, the girl ran to the door to listen. The director looked at Xia Ze's expression. At this moment, Xia Ze was waiting for the girl. He was really waiting and not looking around to think of a way to escape. This didn't fit the character. A calm person wouldn't have such a reaction at this time.
After that, Xia Ze wanted to be as calm and confident as Fang Zhenxuan. However, he used a little too much force and looked a little paralyzed. When he moved the microwave and packed the school bag, it was more like he was doing housework reluctantly instead of calmly arranging everything to leave.
When Xia Ze tied the girl to his body, he was directly stuck because he didn't know how to do it. Fang Zhenxuan learned it when he was working and took care of the child for a few years. Unknowingly, he learned many things. Xia Ze didn't have any experience at all. At this point, he walked back with the child apologetically.
The director's expression was indifferent. He nodded and let them prepare for the next scene.
Xia Ze frowned slightly. When he sat on the sofa, he happened to be not far from Xin Xin. Thinking of Xin Xin's agile acting skills, he felt that perhaps he could act better with Xin Xin. He revealed a gentle smile and greeted Xin Xin.
"Hello, your name is Xin Xin, right? You acted really well just now. "
Xin Xin first glanced at Fang Zhenxuan, who was talking to Chu Xiang, then politely smiled at Xia Ze and said, "Thank you, you acted well too."
Xia Ze: "What other shows have you acted in? Have you specially studied acting? Do you want to enter the entertainment industry in the future? "
Xin Xin thought for a moment and said politely and a little distantly, "My show hasn't been broadcast yet. Sister Xiang Xiang, I've always known how to act, but she suggested that I study hard and consider these when I grow up. No matter what Sister Xiang wants to do when she grows up, she must be a knowledgeable person. It's always good to read more books. "
Xia Ze felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. Didn't Fang Zhenxuan's fans ask him and his fans to read more books? What's so great about Fang Zhenxuan being a straight-A student? Since when did the entertainment industry care about this?
Before he could say anything else, Xin Xin stood up and nodded politely with a smile. "Sorry, I'm going to find my uncle. Goodbye."
Xia Ze watched as Xin Xin ran to Fang Zhenxuan's side and held Fang Zhenxuan's and Chu Xiang's hands. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he looked away. He felt that these three people were a little annoying and would only cause him trouble.
The second audition began. The girl's mother was the role that the scriptwriter wanted to give to Chu Xiang. Of course, Chu Xianglai would play it.
Because the girl's mother was like a big boss in the movie, there were many people around her when she appeared in the end. Chu Xiang simply sat on the sofa next to the actor. She leaned slightly to the side, crossed her legs, and lit a cigarette.
She lowered her eyes slightly. She seemed to be expressionless, but she seemed to be thinking about something. Even though she didn't say a word, her posture, movements, and expression already had a strong aura. Even the people present unconsciously breathed softly, having the illusion that she could control their lives.
Fang Zhenxuan held Xin Xin's hand and walked over from afar. Xin Xin was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a blonde wig. She cautiously looked around to see if there was any danger. Fang Zhenxuan's expression showed a hint of seriousness. His eyes were solemn and thoughtful, and it was completely different from the brightness from before.
When they stood not far from Chu Xiang, Fang Zhenxuan held Xin Xin's hand tightly and pulled her behind him. His other hand naturally slipped into the pocket of his windbreaker. He glanced at everyone's position without a trace, then stared at Chu Xiang and waited for her to raise her head.
Chu Xiang's hand that was holding the cigarette covered the side of her face. At this moment, she slowly lowered her hand and turned her face. Her eyelids slightly lifted, revealing her true appearance.
Chu Xiang's gaze met with Fang Zhenxuan's. Both of their expressions didn't change, but they seemed to have some kind of communication. Fang Zhenxuan's hand in his pocket slightly moved, as if he would take out his gun at any time. Chu Xiang's hand that wasn't holding the cigarette also raised a finger from the side. It seemed that as soon as her finger fell, she would make a move on Fang Zhenxuan.
Suddenly, Xin Xin shouted with her chest raised, "Mom!"
She pulled off her hat, sunglasses, and blonde wig and smiled happily. "Mom, I finally found you!" Then, she immediately ran over to Chu Xiang.
Fang Zhenxuan's expression changed slightly, and he put back the gun that he was about to take out. Chu Xiang raised her finger and shook it, indicating that her men shouldn't make a move. She glanced at Fang Zhenxuan one last time, and her gaze fell on Xin Xin. Revealing a doting smile, she put out the cigarette and got up to hug Xin Xin who rushed into her arms.
"Good!" The director couldn't help but shout and said excitedly, "Chu Xiang, have you studied acting? What kind of agent are you? You must be an actress! It's a waste of your talent to be an agent! "
Chu Xiang tidied Xin Xin's hair and smiled. "Director, that's not right. I've done a good job as an agent."
The director laughed and said, "Yes, you've done a good job as an agent. You've unearthed such a good seedling like Zhenxuan. No, he's not a seedling anymore. He's better than those who graduated from acting classes. "
The screenwriter covered his heart and stared at Chu Xiang. His expression was even a little dreamy. "Sister Xiang, you're really my muse! You completely acted out the feeling I wanted. No, no, no, it's even better than I thought. Especially when you changed from a ruthless and cold-blooded mother to a warm mother in a second. It's amazing! It's amazing! I'm full of inspiration now. I can write the outline of the second movie tonight! Sister Xiang, please be an actress. I beg you! "
The director got up and paced back and forth. He held the roll-shaped script in his hand and kept tapping his palm. "The ending should be handled well. It can be used as an ending and can also predict the story of the second movie. No wonder the three of you wanted to come to the audition together. This cooperation is too wonderful. There's no need to cultivate tacit understanding. In the last part, Chu Xiang and Zhenxuan's eyes were full of drama. Great, it exceeded my expectations! "
The director, screenwriter, and others kept praising them. Xia Ze and his agent's faces were a little ugly. Their attitude was already very obvious. They came here today to humiliate themselves. Xia Ze looked at Chu Xiang and Xin Xin. How could this Fang Zhenxuan be so lucky? Even his agent and niece could give him extra points for grabbing resources. How could Fang Zhenxuan's acting be so good? Wasn't he a law student?
Xia Ze already had the intention to quit. Although he really wanted to act in this movie, things were already a foregone conclusion. He didn't need to act again and make a fool of himself. He stood up and thought about the words to say when he wanted to leave.
Fang Zhenxuan smiled and said before he spoke, "It's Senior Xia Ze's turn to perform."
Only then did the director remember that Xia Ze hadn't acted yet. He coughed twice and sat back in his seat. He nodded and smiled. "Then Xia Ze, you can start now."
Chu Xiang saw that Xia Ze was about to speak and said first, "Let me help Xia Ze with his acting."
At this point, it would be too embarrassing for Xia Ze to leave by himself. He had no choice but to put on a windbreaker and go on stage.
Chu Xiang was still acting, but when Xia Ze held the girl's hand and walked over, it didn't feel right. His expression and body were a little stiff. This wasn't the worst. The worst was that when Chu Xiang looked up and met his eyes, Xia Ze's expression changed. He let go of the girl's hand and subconsciously took two steps back!
He was scared by Chu Xiang! It was as if Chu Xiang was really the big boss behind the scenes and really wanted to kill him here!
Chu Xiang blinked her eyes and looked surprised. She got up and asked with concern, "Xia Ze, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? "
Xia Ze looked at her in shock but didn't find anything wrong with her. He suddenly felt his face burning. They were acting, but he was scared by Chu Xiang in the movie. So many people were watching. It was too embarrassing!
Xia Ze couldn't control his expression and apologized to the director. "I'm really sorry. I'm not feeling well today. This role is really suitable for Fang Zhenxuan. I'll take my leave first. I hope we can work together again in the future. "
The director and the others chatted with him for a while, then he quickly left the hotel with his manager.
The scriptwriter looked at Chu Xiang with starry eyes and said the truth that everyone could see. "Sister Xiang, you're too amazing. You actually brought Xia Ze into the movie and scared him. You brought this character to life. Even if it's only two or three scenes, the audience will definitely remember you! Sister Xiang, can you be the lead of the second movie? For the second movie, you, Fang Zhenxuan, and Xinxin will be the lead. I'll write a new adventure story for you. You'll go abroad and face a bigger boss, more difficulties, and also … "
"Don't think about that first. Let's fix the script for the first movie first." The producer interrupted the scriptwriter, but he looked very happy. "There's no doubt about the choice of the roles. Chu Xiang, Zhenxuan, welcome to 'Journey Detective'. Of course, there's also the cute Xinxin. I have a feeling that the New Year's movie will be flooded by you guys in half a year's time! "
Chu Xiang smiled. "Thank you for your kind words. I hope that 'Journey Detective' will do well in the box office."
Their roles were decided. Fang Zhenxuan was in a good mood after snatching such a good opportunity from Xia Ze. Especially when Xia Ze was scared by Chu Xiang at the end. It was so satisfying!
On the way back, he whispered to Chu Xiang in the car, "Thank you."
Chu Xiang smiled and browsed Weibo. She didn't say anything.
Their chemistry wasn't just in the movie. In real life, they were inseparable and could work together seamlessly at any time.
When the news of Fang Zhenxuan being chosen as the male lead got out, Xia Ze's fans were furious while Fang Zhenxuan's fans cheered for their idol again. Sometimes, the fans' victory or defeat depended on the idol. No matter how noisy the fans were, the idol had lost.
Xia Ze had failed in the audition. What was the use of his fans arguing with the investors? They would only become a joke. It was like trying to save face. Everything was just a self-deception and no one cared.
Chu Xiang and the rest returned home. Before they went to the set, Chu Xiang asked Fang Zhenxuan to record a video in her bedroom.
"The movie is ours. Let's take advantage of the popularity to promote it and increase everyone's anticipation for the movie. The most important thing is to give the fans some benefits. You haven't released the benefits of having ten million fans on Weibo yet, but it's almost twenty million now."
Fang Zhenxuan was pushed into the bedroom by her. When he realized that she had closed the door, he felt a little nervous. He coughed and asked, "What are you recording here for? What benefits? "
Chu Xiang smiled. "Of course, it's male benefits!"
"Huh?"
Chu Xiang pushed the shocked Fang Zhenxuan to the wardrobe and chose for him personally. "This high-end suit hasn't been worn yet. The cut is great. Match it with this tie. Do you know how to tie a tie?"
"Uh, yes."
"There's also a white shirt, trousers, belt, leather shoes … Mm, almost. Wait a minute, I'll adjust your hairstyle." Chu Xiang went into working mode, like a professional hairdresser.
Fang Zhenxuan sat on the chair and watched her busy around him. His eyes softened and the corners of his mouth curled up.
His hands on his knees slowly clenched into fists to control himself. Otherwise, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and hug her. It wasn't time yet. He had to stand higher and solve his own problems. Now, he just cherished the time he had with her alone. He also felt sweet in his heart.
After Chu Xiang finished with his hair, she placed the selected clothes at the end of the bed. Fang Zhenxuan looked at her for a few seconds, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Didn't you ask me to change? Aren't you going out? "
Chu Xiang blinked. "Did I forget to tell you? We're going to shoot a video of a lawyer in formal wear. We'll start with a white shirt. Of course, we'll record the back of the white shirt. I'll cut out the exposed parts, then record the front buttoning, tie, and suit. Don't worry, nothing will be exposed. "
Fang Zhenxuan felt his breathing quicken. Yes, nothing would be exposed after the video was edited, but when Chu Xiang filmed him, she would definitely record the process of him taking off his clothes and putting on his shirt. Wouldn't that … see everything?
He looked at Chu Xiang's waiting expression with the camera and suddenly smiled. He got up to get his trousers and put one hand on the belt around his waist, pretending to unbuckle it.
Chu Xiang immediately said, "Don't record below! Go to the bathroom and change your pants. "
Fang Zhenxuan put down his pants. "Now that you mention it, I remember that I ran outside today and was covered in sweat. This set of clothes is still new. I'll go take a shower first before changing. Don't worry, it'll be quick. Wait for me. "
Fang Zhenxuan strode into the bathroom with his long legs. Soon, the sound of the shower came from inside.
Chu Xiang snorted softly and sat on the sofa waiting for him. A few minutes later, the bathroom door opened. Fang Zhenxuan walked out shirtless with only a towel around his waist.
He walked up to Chu Xiang, bent down, and put his hands on the armrests on both sides of the sofa, trapping Chu Xiang in front of him. He asked softly, "Have I lost weight? That set of clothes was ordered a month ago. Is the size not right? "
Chu Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly. "Then … I'll help you measure it?"
"Huh?" Fang Zhenxuan didn't expect her to say that and was stunned for a moment.
Chu Xiang had already pushed his chest and stood up with him. Fang Zhenxuan only felt that the place where Chu Xiang touched was burning like fire, and his heart was beating fast. Chu Xiang made a hugging gesture and put her hands behind his back. Her fingers touched his waist faintly and slowly slid from his back to his abdomen. She smiled and said, "You didn't lose weight. Your waist is just right."
Chu Xiang raised her hand to measure other places. Fang Zhenxuan grabbed her hands, swallowed, and took a step back. "I, cough, it's good that you didn't lose weight. I'll go change clothes."
He grabbed his pants and rushed into the bathroom as if he was running away. Chu Xiang heard the sound of water again. This time, the sound of water lasted for a long time before it stopped. Chu Xiang chuckled, opened the door and said, "Sister Wen, help me boil a bowl of ginger soup. Zhenxuan may … catch a cold."
Fang Zhenxuan heard her words in the bathroom. He smiled helplessly at the mirror and obediently changed his clothes.
