Siyu moved into the set the next day.
Because "Fashion Strategy" was a modern drama, the requirements for the location were not that high. There was no need to go to a special film studio, so they were still filming in Jiangcheng. She could have stayed at her own house, but Siyu thought that it was not good for her to be alone, so she asked Shen Yue to pack up and stay in the hotel booked by the crew.
The director of this drama was surnamed Yan. He was not as famous as Director Liang, but he had directed many popular urban dramas and had a lot of experience. At first, he did not expect to be able to invite a real Best Actor, but this time, he was laughing in his dreams. Especially when he heard from somewhere that Wen Yuan had agreed to act in the TV series because he was interested in the female lead in their production team, his attitude towards Si Yu became even more amiable.
"I told you that there would be no problem. You were worried about the ratings and wanted to invite a popular female star. I think that if you really did invite her, Best Actor Wen Yuan might not be willing to come," Mu Yan said to Director Yan with a smile.
At this time, she had been promoted to the editor-in-chief of Qiman. Her Koi was the most profitable author on the platform, so her status also rose. Because Koi said that she had something to do and could not come, she joined the crew as the scriptwriter consultant.
Director Yan said, "It's not easy to sell teen idol dramas nowadays. I can't help it …"
Mu Yan said with a bit of pride, "Director Yan, you might not know, but our Koi is very popular. She has a lot of die-hard fans. She is not inferior to those young actors and actresses …"
While the two were talking, Siyu came out of the room after trying on her makeup. Mu Yan turned around and his eyes lit up. To be honest, Siyu's body was petite, but her proportions were very good. Her white dress outlined her beautiful silhouette. When she stood there with her long legs and slim waist, no matter from which angle, she was perfect. It was completely suitable for the role of the female lead in the drama.
Every time Siyu saw Mu Yan, she felt a little guilty. In particular, Mu Yan always stared at her as if she was looking at a treasure, which made Siyu feel uncomfortable.
Now she was also stiff and let Mu Yan rush over to look her up and down. It seemed that Mu Yan still wanted to touch her, but he was worried that this was a public place, so he didn't do it. He just praised, "You're really a natural hanger. I heard that you used to be a model. Don't you do it now?"
Si Yu remembered that when she first came here, she had indeed shot a magazine cover, but that was purely by luck. She was not a professional, and after she found a way to make money by drawing comics, she naturally did not do it again. Thus, she shook her head. "No, this is not my ambition."
Mu Yan thought she was saying that being a model was just a springboard to the entertainment industry. He smiled knowingly. "I understand. You have so much potential. Of course the stage is not limited to this."
Siyu knew that Mu Yan had misunderstood, but she was too lazy to correct him. She still had a fake identity, and she was always worried that it would be taken down by others.
After walking around in front of the director and confirming that there was no problem with the makeup, Siyu was about to return to the lounge, but she ran into an unexpected person in the corridor.
"… Sister Siyu?" Chu Shuangyan walked over from the corner and almost bumped into Siyu. She took a step back and calmed herself down. Just as she was about to raise her eyebrows and scold Siyu, she looked up and saw a familiar face. She was so scared that she swallowed her words back into her stomach. She reflexively straightened her back and put away her coquettish expression. She suddenly changed from a stray cat to a domestic cat. She obediently called out to her and greeted her in a very nice tone. "When they called me over, I didn't know that you had already joined the cast. I thought that you were recuperating during this time …"
Shen Yue, who was following behind Siyu, saw Chu Shuangyan's appearance and widened his eyes in surprise.
This Miss Chu was famous for being willful and casual. If she was unhappy, she would talk back and never be polite. Shen Yue had never seen her so honest before. If he remembered correctly, Chu Shuangyan's attitude towards Siyu wasn't very good the last time they were filming. How did she become so friendly with her in such a short time?
Siyu was a little surprised to see Chu Shuangyan here, but on second thought, he might have been invited at the last minute. Chu Shuangyan was polite, so she said politely, "I've rested enough. It's not good to be cooped up in the house all the time."
Chu Shuangyan secretly glanced at her out of the corner of his eye but didn't dare to be too obvious. Before Siyu noticed, he looked away in time.
"Yes, yes, you're right. Hahaha …" Chu Shuangyan laughed awkwardly. He wasn't very close to Siyu and had accidentally offended her before. He racked his brains to think of a topic to talk about and said casually, "But with Fifth Master accompanying you, Sister Siyu, you shouldn't be bored, right?"
People in their circle tacitly agreed that Siyu's small building was off-limits because Fifth Master Lu had sent people to guard it day and night. Other than a few people that Siyu was familiar with, anyone who wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with her or give her gifts were all thrown out without exception. Therefore, they all knew that it was impossible to hook up with a small celebrity who lived there. Over time, they gave up on the idea.
As for Chu Shuangyan, she directly tacitly agreed that Fifth Master Lu had always been there to accompany Siyu. Otherwise, why would he be so nervous and protective of her?
As soon as the name Fifth Master came out, Chu Shuangyan immediately felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. She stopped talking and glanced at Siyu's expression. However, she saw that her expression was very normal and didn't seem to be affected. She was a little puzzled. Could it be that she was too sensitive?
"It's okay. You can continue. However, I haven't seen Fifth Master in a long time. If you want to ask about him, I'm afraid I can't help." Siyu smiled at Chu Shuangyan, and her tone became gentler.
This time, Chu Shuangyan was certain. Naturally, she didn't dare to mention it again. Her woman's intuition told her that Siyu might have some conflict with Fifth Master Lu. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a hurry to deny it … Aiya, this was serious. Someone actually dared to provoke the Almighty. For a moment, Chu Shuangyan didn't know whether to admire Siyu's courage or be shocked by Fifth Master Lu's tolerance.
Chu Shuangyan was afraid that if they continued to talk, she would find out something she shouldn't know, so she quickly changed the topic. "By the way, Sister Siyu, do you still remember Xu Qingwan?"
Siyu paused, and her smile faded a little. "What about her?"
Ever since the screening, Xu Qingwan had been taken away by Fifth Master's people. Siyu hadn't heard any news about her. Later, she wanted to ask about her, but didn't get along with Fifth Master, so she forgot about it. Now that Chu Shuangyan mentioned it, she remembered.
Chu Shuangyan pursed her lips in disdain. "She even secretly went to see Auntie Ji once. I happened to bump into her. Needless to say, she was after A Lin. Fortunately, Auntie Ji refused to see her. She even scolded her, saying that she was the one who instigated her … Sigh, I don't understand."
Xu Qingwan had a reason to go to Ji Lin. Why did she go to the Duan Rulan? Were they close? Siyu frowned. She couldn't figure it out.
However, Chu Shuangyan's gloating voice quickly interrupted her thoughts. "That woman deserved it! Huanyi dumped her, and she had to pay for it until she went bankrupt. Her acting career is over. Who told her to be so restless in the first place? She's always around A Lin, trying to please him. Hmph. "
Chu Shuangyan seemed to have vented a lot of anger. Although she wasn't the one who punished Xu Qingwan, she was happy to see it. After all, she had been disgusted by Xu Qingwan when she went to warn her in private.
"… Then where will she go from here?" Siyu wasn't too surprised to hear this.
Chu Shuangyan said indifferently, "Who knows? But I'm sure no one will dare to use her." Chu Shuangyan didn't have much sympathy for her love rival.
Siyu was silent for a while. Finally, she sighed. Forget it. She couldn't care less. She didn't want to take it to heart. She was already upset, so she didn't want to make trouble for herself.
… …
Although Wen Yuan agreed to play the male lead, he officially joined the cast nearly a week later than the others.
However, Director Yan didn't say anything. He was the Best Actor, so of course he was busy. It was okay to give him some preferential treatment.
This time, it was Siyu and Wen Yuan acting together. They hadn't worked together before, so Director Yan asked them to work together in private so that they wouldn't have any problems when filming officially started. During the break, Wen Yuan held a thermos flask and sat beside Siyu. He unscrewed the lid, and a sweet smell of food wafted into her nose.
"Try it. This is my homemade red date cake and yam cake. You still don't look good. Do you still vomit blood?" Wen Yuan was fully prepared. He took out a small plate and a pair of chopsticks from another bag. He picked up a delicate-looking cake and handed it to Siyu. He looked at her gently. "You've been resting for so long. Why haven't you recovered?"
Siyu hurriedly put down the script and smiled. She didn't know why, but when Wen Yuan came closer, she subconsciously wanted to move to the side. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she forced herself to stop. Otherwise, if Wen Yuan saw it, he would think that she didn't welcome him.
"It's an old problem. I'm hanging on by taking medicine. I don't expect to completely recover." Siyu sat in a reserved posture. She answered his questions, but she didn't seem particularly happy. Wen Yuan saw this and remembered it in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Shen Yue stood behind with the medicine in her hands. She looked over and saw these delicate-looking desserts. She only felt that she was salivating too much — she was hungry.
It's so good. There are even hand-made desserts. And the movie king still remembers that Sister Siyu needs to take more supplements. Shen Yue thought sadly. She wouldn't believe that Wen Yuan wasn't interested in Siyu.
Siyu couldn't refuse. She tasted the desserts. The desserts melted in her mouth. The sweetness was moderate, and it had a soft texture. It wasn't like the desserts sold outside that had too much saccharin.
Siyu knew that Wen Yuan's culinary skills were very good when she recorded the show last time. This time, she sincerely praised him. "Even if you say that you want to change your career now, I'll believe you completely."
Wen Yuan also laughed. She didn't know if he was joking or not. "If I really change my career, won't I have no chance to act with you in the future?"
