"Lanyan, Xiaochu, are you rehearsing your lines?" Nie Yuanshan, the male supporting actor in "Ruzhichun," walked over.
He's nearly forty, but he's well-preserved and still a handsome man. His eyes are deep and weathered, giving him an air of refinement and charm.
"Teacher Nie." Chu Anlan greeted Nie Yuanshan as he approached.
"Yes," Nie Yuanshan responded, then asked Wei Lanyan, "Is that the new chairman of your company, Huanyu? Did he come to see you?"
After saying that, he winked at Wei Lanyan with an ambiguous look on his face.
Wei Lanyan put down the script and said, "Teacher Nie, please have a seat." She gestured to her assistant beside her.
“I’m not that familiar with our chairman. He must have other reasons for coming here.”
Wei Lanyan and Nie Yuanshan are old partners and know each other very well, so they don't have many reservations when they talk.
The assistant brought over a small stool and handed it to Nie Yuanshan.
Nie Yuanshan sat down: "Hey? We didn't come to see you? Huanyu has invested in so many dramas, and they only came to ours. I thought it was because of you, Lanyan!"
"Teacher Nie, Sister Lanyan, Brother Chu, what are you talking about?"
"Yes, Brother Nie, Sister Lanyan, Xiao Chu, let's listen to it."
The male lead, Xia Ji, and the female supporting character, Xu Qiuxuan, also came over with small stools.
They also wanted to come to Wei Lanyan to find out about Yu Heng.
"Why don't you guys ever see how popular I am usually?" Wei Lanyan knew why they were there, but she genuinely didn't know this particular reason.
"Haha, isn't it lively here today, Sister Lanyan? And when have you ever been unpopular, Sister Lanyan?" Xia Ji laughed and joked from the side.
"Ahem, yes, Sister Lanyan, but your CEO Yu is really handsome!" Supporting actress Xu Qiuxuan asked, "He looks so young? He probably isn't married yet, right?"
She had her assistant eavesdrop on the director, but didn't get any useful information, only that the new chairman of Huanyu was surnamed Yu.
Xu Qiuxuan is similar to Chu Anlan; both are minor celebrities who have played leading roles in small dramas but haven't become famous, and can only play supporting roles in major productions.
However, she's better off than Chu Anlan; she's only been in the industry for two years.
Chu Anlan, who was listening from the side, felt a little jealous. He didn't like what Xu Qiuxuan said, and it was obvious to everyone that Xu Qiuxuan's intentions were clear, so he disliked her even more.
Looking at the girl whose longing was almost impossible to suppress, Wei Lanyan neither exposed her nor echoed her: "We little minions don't know anything about the big boss's affairs."
Hearing that Wei Lanyan's tone indicated she didn't want to talk about it anymore, Xu Qiuxuan smiled and didn't dare to press the matter further.
"He's really handsome, even our little Chu is confused by him!" As soon as the male lead, Xia Ji, uttered his teasing voice, everyone looked at Chu Anlan.
Chu Anlan was glancing towards Yu Heng when she was suddenly caught by everyone. Startled, she quickly turned her head and gave an awkward laugh: "Hehe, I was just curious!"
"But Xiao Chu, you like boys, right? What, you've taken a fancy to President Yu?" Xia Ji said seemingly jokingly, but the meaning behind his words was a bit aggressive.
He noticed the shyness in Chu Anlan's eyes when she looked at Yu Heng.
It's rare to find someone in the entertainment industry who doesn't rely on a sugar daddy; many sugar daddies are also indiscriminate in their spending.
Therefore, he scoffed at Xu Qiuxuan's question about whether Wei Lanyan and Yu Heng had a girlfriend.
As for Xia Ji herself, she has dated both male and female sugar daddies, but how could anyone not be attracted to someone like Yu Heng, who is rich, handsome, and a top figure in the entertainment industry?
This was a rare opportunity, and he wanted to give it a try.
However, after seeing Chu Anlan's performance, he felt a sense of crisis.
He had worked with Chu Anlan twice and knew him somewhat.
Chu Anlan has a great figure and looks, and despite being in the industry for so long, she hasn't become worldly-wise or slick. Instead, she still has a pure and innocent charm. How could she not attract the attention of any big shots?
Although he has an aunt who is quite influential in the screenwriting industry, the resources she can provide him are limited. If he wants to go further, it is impossible without making some sacrifices.
The problem lies here: this person is truly hopeless!
He never attends drinking parties, and when he does attend dinner parties, it's only at invitations from people he knows well. He also always has a manager who stays with him at all times.
Several influential figures in the industry who had shown interest in him saw this situation and deliberately cut off some of his resources, trying to force him to learn some social skills and take the initiative to curry favor with them.
But who would have thought that, faced with these suppressions, Chu Anlan would choose to "lie flat" without hesitation?
It's like punching cotton, without any rebound.
He verbally pressured Chu Anlan not to embarrass him, but to awaken his inner pride and prevent him from bowing his head to his sugar daddy.
After all, given the choice between a pretty actress and an actress who is also pretty but has a somewhat aloof and unattainable quality, most investors would choose the former. It's obvious which one they would choose.
"Who doesn't like good-looking people!" Chu Anlan replied somewhat sharply. He just didn't want to do certain things, but he hadn't been in the entertainment industry for nothing all these years. How could he not understand what Xia Ji meant?
It's one thing if it's someone else, but Yu Heng is his legitimate boyfriend. How could he be happy if someone else coveted him?
"Haha, indeed, President Yu is really handsome." Seeing this, Nie Yuanshan quickly laughed it off.
"Lanyan, shouldn't all the male celebrities in your company feel inferior?" He then turned to Wei Lanyan and changed the subject.
Honestly, these young people nowadays!
However, he could understand that the conditions offered by the General Manager were simply too favorable.
"Of course, several kids almost lost all their confidence after meeting President Yu." Wei Lanyan followed up on Nie Yuanshan's topic.
The filming isn't finished yet; it wouldn't be good for anyone if things got too tense now.
Chu Anlan and Xia Ji also took the opportunity to change the subject.
Everyone resumed their conversation and laughter, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened.
……
"Cut! Lan Yan, you got too emotional too fast! And Chu Anlan, are you still going to keep lying to Wen Xiyao? You need to tone down that look in your eyes!" Director Qiu shouted on set.
After shouting, he directed the crew to restore the film set.
Yu Heng frowned as he watched. He noticed that Chu Anlan had cut out this scene five times, each time for various reasons.
Seeing that Chu Anlan was stuck in that dark and oppressive mood, Yu Heng was a little worried.
He turned and glanced at Gao Zhiyuan.
Gao Zhiyuan understood and walked over to Jiang Li: "Director Jiang, it's almost noon now. President Yu has booked a lavish meal at a five-star hotel to treat everyone. What do you think?"
"Oh dear, thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Yu. I'll go tell Director Qiu we're done filming now. Today's scene was a bit difficult, and we won't be able to finish filming it anytime soon," Jiang Li replied with a smile, and headed towards Qiu Changchi.
