Chapter 16: Just like a butterfly cannot fly across the ocean

night.

In a secluded corridor, two "sneaky" figures completed the "connection" after three secret signals.

An Luning confirmed many times that his agent sister had really left temporarily, so he quickly pulled Zhang Xiaorong aside to ask her about the news she had heard.

"Sister Zhang, how are you?"

Although being a spy for An Luning sounded a bit outrageous and childish, Zhang Xiaorong did a great job.

He also reported all the "intelligence" he had obtained to An Lu Ning.

"He's very good. It seems he has written hundreds of songs. I heard this from the producer named Zhou."

"Ah? You've found out about such an important matter? You're worthy of being Sister Zhang!"

Zhang Xiaorong paused and said, "It's not that hard to find out. They were discussing it loudly."

An Luning looked confused and discussed loudly?

Ah. I don't know how to explain the boy's peacock-like behavior.
Fortunately, An Lu Ning didn't dwell on this too much, but frowned, "Are you kidding me? Hundreds of songs?!"

"I don't know about that because he's very busy filming during the day, but he's also very good at playing musical instruments. He can use almost half of the band's instruments."

Writing hundreds of songs was magical enough, and An Luning felt that the instruments and the like were not so bad.

Because she can play the piano and violin, and as an artist, sometimes it is good to have more skills.

But soon she became concerned about a more important issue.

"I heard that he really directed and acted in that movie himself? How's his acting?"

"I don't know what good acting is, but I thought he was pretty good when I saw him perform live," Zhang Xiaorong thought for a moment, "I only saw part of the script, I didn't see much."

"Definitely not as good as me, but I can direct and act by myself." An Lu Ning bit her lip, indicating that Sister Zhang would report it again if she continued to inquire.

Zhang Xiaorong was also willing to play this "spy" game with her, but she didn't forget to add, "However, I don't think I can always help you get information. If you have anything to say to him, I will just convey it to you first."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Lu Ning, the fact that I can't act will probably be exposed tomorrow." Zhang Xiaorong said with a rare look of embarrassment.

"Acting is easy. Why not just treat it as playing house? Anyway, the requirements for that guy's acting won't be too high. Sister Zhang, you can pass it by just fooling around, right?"

Isn't that too much to ask?

Zhang Xiaorong certainly doesn't know how to act, but she's not blind.

She saw how Bai Youlou acted like a tyrant in the crew and how badly the second male lead Long Ziqiang was "tortured".

How can this be a sign of low demand for film quality?
It turns out that she really has no talent for acting.

Compared with Zhang Xiaorong, Long Ziqiang can be regarded as a veteran actor.

Let's put it this way, this girl can only play one role, and that's herself.

No matter how Bai Youlou tried to teach him, this "wooden head" just couldn't come to his senses.

I thought I had gotten a great bargain, but ended up inviting a "living Buddha".

Add kissing scenes and sex scenes?
This female Bodhisattva was able to play that simple role well, and Bai Youlou was so impressed that he wanted to burn incense and kowtow to her.

Sister, we broke up! Your calm and peaceful expression makes it seem like you just lost a dog.
Pouring a cup of water on someone's face doesn't feel like anger, it feels more like a reward?

Anyway, if we take a short video of Zhang Xiaorong splashing water and post it online, I guess there will be a bunch of perverts yelling "Beauty, splash me".

Change people, change people.

Even though Bai Youlou was reluctant to part with this beautiful girl, he didn't want such an "outlier" to suddenly appear in his movie.

Compared to the exciting tone of the whole movie, Zhang Xiaorong's inclusion in it is like ice cream appearing in the hot pot.

Out of place!

However, this girl is indeed considerate. When Bai Youlou hinted that her acting skills were not up to standard and that she might need to be replaced, Zhang Xiaorong did not show any extreme emotions.

Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks slightly reddened, and after hesitating for a moment, she actually asked, "Can I still come over to see it?"

Bai Youlou was stunned and thought to himself, what kind of "information" do you want to find out, girl?

I'll tell you straight away~
But what they said was definitely, "Welcome! Aren't you interested in singing? We can communicate more."

Such a casual remark actually made Zhang Xiaorong show a rare excited expression, the amplitude was not large, but it was real. After nodding and thanking him, she did not forget to apologize again, "I'm sorry, Director, I've caused you trouble."

trouble?

Before Bai Youlou even opened his mouth, Lao Zhou already wanted to help him forgive others.

It’s not that the girl is uncooperative, she just really can’t do it.

Still so polite, he kept apologizing.

Just like a butterfly cannot fly across the ocean, who can bear to blame it?

Long Ziqiang, who had watched the whole process, opened his mouth subconsciously but said nothing. However, an emotion of grief and indignation was brewing in his eyes.

Blanch!
I can't bear to blame such a beautiful woman, blaming me every day.

He was the only one injured in the world.

Even so, Zhang Xiaorong still often appeared in the crew during her spare time.

She didn't just move a chair and sit there to watch. If there was any help needed, she would actively help.

Although most people would be embarrassed to let a beautiful lady like her do the rough work on the crew.

In the end, I could only help the makeup artist with some things, so it wasn't a wasted experience.

This matter was also talked about a lot in the crew. A beautiful woman was "kicked out" of the crew but still ran here all day long. What could she be trying to do?

Picture people~
Most people almost agree that there is a 99% chance that Zhang Xiaorong has a crush on Bai Youlou.

He "peers" to Bai Youlou to chat all day long and has a crush on him.

While feeling envious, jealous and resentful, I wondered how such a beautiful girl could be blind at such a young age. Hasn't she heard of Bai Youlou's "feat"?

However, there was no "kind-hearted person" in the crew who dared to remind others.

After all, the "madman" Bai Youlou is still here, and the crazy duo he and Long Ziqiang form is very deterrent.

Until a female artist appeared to replace Zhang Xiaorong.

Director He is still making efforts.

Although Bai Youlou didn't find any top actresses in the circle, it shouldn't be a problem for him to find a graduate from a fourth or fifth tier film academy.

The new girl's name is Hu Manyin, and she is said to be a child star. Although she is not as stunning at first glance as Zhang Xiaorong and An Luning, she is definitely a beauty from every angle.

It's a pity that this girl has bad luck. Even though she signed with a company before entering the film academy, she didn't make a big name in the entertainment industry after graduation.

However, no matter how badly he's doing, people can still look down on people like Bai Youlou.

So she doesn’t have the same “preference” for Bai Youlou as Zhang Xiaorong.

You can see that she is a little reluctant.

I guess it's too embarrassing to refuse Director He, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with Bai Youlou.

To the point that I almost didn't want to communicate too much with Bai Youlou and just started working as soon as I arrived.

But she is indeed a professional actor with solid acting skills. As for the role of the heroine, she almost got into the role directly after reading the script.

I won’t talk about how amazing the acting is, after all, this role doesn’t allow for much room for development, but there is definitely no flaw at all.

It only took her a day and a half to complete that part.

By the way, the reason why Hu Manyin came here is actually because she thinks Bai Youlou’s movie will definitely not make any splash.

Because there are too many factors that determine whether a movie can be successful, quality is only one of them.

Cast, investment, release date, scheduling, publicity. Putting aside the quality of the film, what are the advantages of "Whiplash"?
She doesn't even know why this movie is so popular.

As for winning an award, it's even more ridiculous. You, an idol, become a director and win an award?

Since it doesn't make a splash, her playing a role shouldn't have much of a negative impact.

So in this situation, Hu Manyin filmed the movie, collected the money, and prepared to leave.

It's totally like mercenary behavior.

However, before she left, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally decided to give Zhang Xiaorong a little reminder.

Teacher Zhang, cherish your life and stay away from scumbags!
