Chapter 237 - 237 A New Actor on Set!
237 A New Actor on Set!
In the afternoon, the production team posted two messages in the group chat.
One was the script for the fifth episode, which could be downloaded from their email.
The other was that there would be new actors joining the crew next week.
Although he was a new actor, this character was already mentioned in the first episode by the stepmother played by Yu Ling.
This person was Bai Yueguang’s stepbrother, the 18-year-old punk.
In the middle of the night, he had snuck into Bai Yueguang’s room, and reached under the blanket. He was then beaten up by Bai Yueguang and sent to the hospital.
Next week, there would be a plot about her stepbrother, Bai Ye
When the Bai family fell into ruins, Bai Yueguang took up the responsibility of paying off the family’s debts.
In the beginning, her stepmother and stepbrother avoided her like a plague. But later, when they saw that she was doing better and better in the company, they began to get jealous.
By chance, Bai Ye saw Bai Yueguang and the company’s CEO, Gu Shen, coming out of the company.
Gu Shen had an inexplicable feeling in his heart because of Nicha Songpashan, so he chatted with Bai Yueguang for a while where few people passed by.
Bai Ye happened to see them.
He thought that his beautiful sister was doing so well because she had found a rich man.
In the fifth episode, there would be a few scenes of Bai Ye and Bai Yueguang interacting.
It would be extremely intense!
There were even bed scenes!
A fight scene in bed.
Su Ji was silent for a few seconds when she read the summary.
It was written by Huang Huayu.
As for who the new actor playing Bai Ye was, they would only know when he arrived at the set tomorrow.
Su Ji was reading her script in the living room.
The TV was on, but Su Ji didn’t care.
She looked at the script for a while and suddenly got a little distracted.
She recalled the strange things Pei Huai had said in the car.
He mentioned them getting married a few times.
She felt like he was testing her.
Was he serious?
Su Ji sat cross-legged on the sofa, supporting her forehead with her hand.
Aunt Wu was about to ask her if she wanted to have any desserts when she saw her distressed look.
Her hair was now a mess.
Aunt Wu thought for a while and left silently.
Su Ji pinched her left ear.
Well, it’s not impossible…
After all, Pei Huai was indeed very rich!
However, as she was thinking about it, the voice of the host on TV entered her ears.
“Our country will not tolerate transactional marriages and will take the appropriate action against those who are involved!”
“…”
Why couldn’t modern people allow this?
It’s fine that a woman can only have one husband. But they were not even allowed to have a transactional marriage!
**
When they arrived at the set on Monday, the actors realized that Zhou Xuefang was not there.
As the female lead, Zhou Xuefang did not have any scenes for the whole day. Instead, Su Ji’s schedule was packed.
At this moment, Zhou Xuefang was throwing a tantrum at home.
When she saw the script last night, she realized that her scenes had been cut out!
They were replaced with more scenes related to Bai Yueguang.
She called Han Junlei twice before he picked up. The answer she got was like a bucket of cold water being poured on her head.
“From what we observed over the past few weeks, the viewership ratings drop significantly every time there are more scenes of Shen Qianqian.”
“Although I said that I would be strict with you, I didn’t deliberately reduce your scenes. The current result was decided by everyone in the meeting.”
“If the audience likes you again, we’ll give you more scenes. But if it’s still the same, we can’t rule out the possibility of changing the ending.”
Zhou Xuefang could not accept this!
Just the week before, the way Gu Shen looked at Shen Qianqian affectionately was well-received, and many fans were drooling over this couple.
“How could this be!!!”
Without Zhou Xuefang, it was peaceful on set.
Because Bai Yueguang’s stepmother would appear in the scene, Yu Ling was also there.
Yu Ling liked Su Ji and came to her the moment she arrived.
When the first episode was being filmed, she had not been able to find the right mindset to be a stepmother. At that time, Su Ji had pointed out Ning Lihua to her and asked her to act like her. After the first episode was aired, the netizens were impressed. In the past few weeks, she had even taken on a few small gigs!
Su Ji realized that Yu Ling had come with Hao Gou today.
She had never seen Hao Gou being so considerate to anyone in Kyokushin.
Before this, she only knew that Hao Gou and Yu Ling were friends because they started together as extras.
But they seemed closer than just friends.
Yu Ling looked fierce and had the standard face of a stepmother, but she was actually a very friendly person.
On the other hand, Hao Gou, who looked ordinary and approachable, had a venomous tongue.
Looking at it this way, the two of them were really compatible.
Su Ji looked at the car and said, “how nice of Mr. Hao Gou to drive Ms. Yu Ling.”
Hao Gou was about to start driving when he froze. “Don’t talk nonsense! I just happened to pass by, so I sent her here.”
Yu Ling was embarrassed. She slapped Su Ji’s shoulder, “yeah, don’t talk nonsense!”
Su Ji resisted the urge to fall forward.
If she had not practiced martial arts before, she would have suffered internal injuries!
Han Junlei gathered everyone together and introduced the new actor who was playing the role of Bai Ye.
Everyone first saw a well-dressed old lady, and the young boy who was pushed to the front by her was thin, fair-skinned, and looked very quiet. He was the new actor who was going to play the role of Bai Ye, Xu Ni.
He was wearing a white shirt and jeans.
Xu Ni wasn’t very tall. He was a head shorter than Si Jingchuan and was about the same height as Su Ji.
The hair on his forehead covered his eyes, and one could not see his face when he lowered his head.
He only looked up when Han Junlei asked him to introduce himself.
Everyone could see that the seemingly quiet little boy had a rebellious expression on his face.
His not-so-thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he had red lips and white teeth. He was beautiful.
However, there was no smile on his face, and his voice was neutral.
“Wow, he’s so pretty. He has the kind of puppy look that girls nowadays like. ”
“He’s not a puppy, he’s obviously a wolf. Look at his rebellious face, he might be able to play the role of a devil incarnate like Bai Ye!”
“Everyone here is too good-looking, Su Ji, Si Jingchuan and now Xu Ni. We, the peasants, can’t stay here anymore!”
Xu Ni’s self-introduction was very brief, and his eyes were filled with irritation.
His grandmother glared at him, then turned to Han Junlei with a smile. “Director han, please spend more time and effort to nurture my grandson.”
Han Junlei only nodded politely.
He had chosen Xu Ni for this role mainly because Xu Ni had a beautiful face.
Bai Yueguang’s step-brother had to be young and beautiful.
If he looked too crude, he would not match Su Ji. If he was too tall and aggressive, he would not match Si Jingchuan.
Xu Ni’s grandmother had specially sent her eldest grandson to the set today. It was obvious that she doted on him very much.
After she finished talking to Han Junlei, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked at Su Ji with a smile. “Su Ji, do you still remember me? Although my grandson didn’t become your student, you’re in the team now. Please take care of him…”
Only then did Su Ji’s gaze move to her.
A few seconds later, she recognized her.
Lu Ailian was the old lady she saw at the Calligraphy Association the other day. She was Zhang Guihua’s “friend”.
Su Ji smiled. So Xu Ni was the ignorant and incompetent grandson of Lu Ailian…
