Mr. Shen’s Wife Is Too Seductive - Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Hengdian

It was already 7:40 in the morning. Liu Qi had just gotten into the car and was on her way to the set. Shen Nanxiao was busy and couldn’t accompany her.

She quickly sent a message to Yue to reschedule the appointment. As expected, Yue started asking for money again.

This time, she didn’t ask for much. It was 79 yuan. She said that it was for the accommodation, but Liu Qi didn’t skimp on it and sent 100 yuan. After all, she did really well this month.

“Miss Liu, this is the script and the cast’s information. You can take a look,” Wang Chun said and handed the information to her.

Wang Chun was the manager that Shen Nanxiao had found for her. She was a 27-year-old short-haired woman.

She was sitting next to her.

Probably because she hadn’t had enough sleep for a long time, she had dark circles. She had pretty facial features, but her eyes gave her a stern look.

“Okay, thank you.” Liu Qi took the documents and script. She couldn’t help but think, Shen Nanxiao was so well-prepared. He must have wanted her to do it for a long time.

She first looked at the information about the actors. She knew many of them and had seen them on the big screen before.

Even until now, Liu Qi didn’t feel nervous. Instead, she felt that this was an interesting challenge.

However, she had heard from Liu Yue that certain parts of the entertainment industry were still a little complicated, so she had to be careful.

She didn’t feel that there was anything to be afraid of. Anyway, with Shen Nanxiao backing her up, no one would bully her.

Currently, she was quite far away from the filming set. After reading the materials, she began to flip through the script of The Ballad of the South Wind.

The original novel of The Ballad of the South Wind was called “Millennium Lychee Pavilion.” The author was currently in the Southern Kingdom. This novel was about time-traveling, and she had read it a few times before.

9 am.

They arrived at Hengdian film studio, where the filming set was located. There were various big filming sets filming here, and it was known as the capital of film and television.

Beside a simple and unadorned door stood a man wearing a vest and carrying a communication device. He was holding a script in his hands. When he saw Liu Qi, he hurriedly came forward to welcome her.

“Miss Liu is here. Have you read the script that I sent you?” The director, Li Minghua, personally came to pick her up, and his attitude was also very polite.

Initially, Li Minghua wasn’t willing to change the actress. If he hadn’t met Liu Qi, he might not have agreed.

Other than her height, which didn’t match, Liu Qi was very similar to the character in the novel. She was lively and vivacious.

However, considering the change in the female lead character in the later period, Li Minghua only promised to let Liu Qi try first. If it really didn’t work, he would have to find another actress.

“Hello, Director Li.” Liu Qi politely extended her hand.

The other actors were already in position. They had already taken their makeup photos. They were either memorizing lines or practicing for the scenes.

The moment Li Minghua brought Liu Qi in, they attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone was thinking the same thing. So this was the new female lead. She looked quite pretty and was also quite famous. However, she had never acted before, so they were afraid that this show would be ruined.

Before Liu Qi could get to know these people, Li Minghua got someone to bring her to the pavilion. They were going to put on makeup for her and do some styling.

On the first day, they didn’t start filming. They only did her styling and make-up. The cast also got to know each other.

Some of these people were currently popular celebrities. The male lead, Zhang Yu, was number one on the hot search list every day.

People called him Brother Yu.

Liu Qi got along well with these people. Initially, everyone thought that she would be stuck up, but they didn’t expect her to have such a good temper.

At this moment, Zhang Yu walked over. Liu Qi was still talking to the two actresses who played the female lead’s maidservant.

The rather thin and intellectual-looking one was called Bai Li, while the lively one was called Liu Mianmian.

“Ah Qi, how about we do the scene for the 26th scene?” Zhang Yu asked her. Her address sounded a little intimate.

The first time she met Zhang Yu was in Shen Nanxiao’s company.

“Huh? But… I haven’t seen the 26th scene yet,” Liu Qi said and quickly flipped through the script.

The 26th scene was the male lead’s first scene. It was during a poetry meet, but it seemed that… the male lead didn’t interact much with the female lead during the poetry meet.

Most of the scenes centered on eye-contact.

However, usually, the one who had the least scenes would shoot first. After filming those scenes, that person could finish.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s give it a try first. This is our first time working together.” Zhang Yu’s voice sounded elegant and graceful. It gave people a gentle feeling, so Liu Qi naturally couldn’t reject him.

However, was such a gentle and refined man really suitable to act as the aloof male lead, Mu Changfeng?

Liu Qi wondered about it.

However, reality proved that she was worrying too much. Once they entered the zone, the smile on Zhang Yu’s face faded, and his entire body seemed to emit a cold aura.

Liu Qi really wanted to ask him how he did it.

After a few minutes, they finished the scene.

“You did very well. You finished it in one go.” After finishing the scene, Zhang Yu regained his gentle demeanor and praised her.

To be honest, Liu Qi really seemed to have acting talent. Just now, she really thought of herself as the female lead, Gu Qingting.

Perhaps it was because of the current environment and the way she dressed. After all, Zhang Yu’s appearance today was that of an ancient young master.

“Yes, Sister Qi, you did very well just now.” Liu Mianmian smiled. She was a very cute

girl.

While some people were happy, other people were sad.

North City Central Hospital.

It was 4 p.m. when Lu Xue heard the news and came to the hospital.

On Weibo, Nangong Shu’s statement had already been made. Following that, a video of Nangong Shu getting injured while trying to save the kitten was trending.

The netizens started to split into two factions and bickered with each other online.

However, Lu Xue was well aware of what kind of person Nangong Shu was.

“The embankment is so dangerous. You can ask the fire department for help when it comes to saving the kitten. My heart aches when you get injured.” Lu Xue’s worried and slightly trembling voice softened Nangong Shu’s heart.

Madam Yi had returned to the hotel to rest after causing a ruckus in the morning, so only Lu Xue and Nangong Shu were alone. Qi Qi was standing guard at the door.

“It’s fine. I’m the one who caused you to lose this opportunity.” Nangong Shu spoke incoherently, but she could understand the general meaning.

Lu Xue gently held the bandage, and crystal-clear tears hung on her long eyelashes. She shook her head and said, “I don’t blame you. I only feel sorry for you now.”

Lu Xue continued, “I don’t feel aggrieved. Sister Yue isn’t affected at all, so I can’t be so petty. I heard that the new female lead of The Ballad of the South Wind is Miss Liu Qi, and I think she’s Sister Yue’s cousin.”

It seemed like she was casually mentioning it, but in fact, Lu Xue had already planned to use this opportunity to chase Liu Yue out of Roland.

Among the female artistes in Roland’s company, Liu Yue was more popular and was highly valued by the company.

“Liu Yue?” Thinking of this, Nangong Shu felt that something was wrong and immediately said angrily, “She’s a traitor.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“It’s nothing… Go back first. I’ll accompany you when I’m better.” Nangong Shu spoke with difficulty, but his condition was much better. At least his original appearance could be seen.

“Alright, I will go back first. My assistant arranged a variety show appearance. I should prepare for it.” After saying that, Lu Xue gently planted a kiss on Nangong Shu’s forehead. Then, she left with a blush.

Although Qi Qi didn’t hear anything, Lu Xue definitely didn’t just come to see Nangong Shu.

“Vice president, do you want some water?” Seeing Nangong Shu raise his hand slightly, Qi Qi hurriedly asked.

“Come here.”

Qi Qi walked to the bedside obediently.

“Terminate Liu Yue’s contract!”

“What? Vice President, that won’t be appropriate.” Qi Qi knew that nothing good would happen if Lu Xue came.

Qi Qi advised, “Vice president, although Liu Yue’s reputation hasn’t been good recently, she still has a large fanbase. Why don’t we let her take a break for a while?”.
