Chapter 207: A Smile to Forget All Grudges
While wiping his lipstick marks, Liu Manli casually mentioned, "By the way, you promised Xiaoling that you would go to the celebrity charity night she's hosting next month, right?"
"Next month?" Bai Youlou was a little speechless, "I won't be able to finish filming my movie next month."
To be honest, he almost forgot about it.
Liu Manli nodded. As a producer, she was naturally aware of the filming plan.
How long has this scene been filming?
Although Bai Youlou is somewhat of a "quick shooter" and shoots films very quickly.
But for this film "Dying to Survive", he actually slowed down the high-speed mode of rushing to meet deadlines, and was instead willing to spend more time polishing the story and the actors' performances.
This job can't be rushed.
Although her position is to let Bai Youlou just make movies honestly, Mo Qiuling is also her good friend. She has been helping Liu Manli since she started her business. She really can't refuse on Bai Youlou's behalf.
What's more, Bai Youlou had promised them personally before.
This is a debt of favor and it is difficult to break it.
Bai Youlou planned to let Wu Muqun stay in the crew for two days. Bai Youlou's slow process of making this movie also gave him many opportunities to get started.
After the filming of this movie is completed, Bai Youlou himself plans to take a short break, but Wu Mugun will have a lot of work to do.
We plan to let him shoot a short film to practice first. The script has been prepared long ago, "Old Boy".
After this thing is finished filming, we can basically let Wu Mu Gun try to take the leading role. Then it will be great for Bai Youlou to be a producer happily.
After chatting with Liu Manli for a few words, it was decided that they would attend Mo Qiuling's celebrity charity night together.
The two of them even discussed how much money to pay.
The main one is to support Mo Qiuling.
After the chat, Liu Manli also helped Bai Youlou wipe the lipstick marks off his neck.
At this time, Bai Youlou said, "I was going to let An Luning take a look at this thing on purpose, why did you wipe it off?"
"You're going to find An Luning?"
Liu Manli is convinced!
This guy is simply the worst kind of scumbag.
You are really brave~
The shock on her face at the moment was real. She looked at Bai Youlou in surprise, "What is your relationship with these two girls? Are you sure?"
Just now when she was feeling "sad" alone, Liu Manli actually thought that Bai Youlou was "defeated".
Now that I hear it, it seems not to be the case.
Bai Youlou spread his hands and said, "Relationships are quite complicated. They are similar to what you think, but not exactly the same. It is hard to explain clearly. It is true that things like feelings cannot be explained clearly. I don't know how to explain it to you right now."
The string of nonsense literature made Liu Manli feel dizzy.
But the elder sister is the elder sister, she sneered: "Your lipstick mark is not for An Luning to see, it is for Zhang Xiaorong to see, right? You have to keep it when you go back later, right?"
Cow breaking!
In the phrase.
Of course, now that the lipstick marks are gone, Bai Youlou actually has another trick: that is not to go back.
No matter where you sleep~
Just like what he had just said to Liu Manli, he asked her to leave the door open for him, and tonight he could enjoy the gentleness or passion of a mature older sister.
But, it's just a thought. I have to accompany Zhang Xiaorong at times like this.
She was in so much pain.
Although Zhang Xiaorong usually looks like a particularly sensible girl, in fact she is indeed sensible and rarely throws a tantrum.
But good guys have to be pointed at guns?
Being a sensible girl doesn't mean you don't need to be attentive.
There is no such thing.
No matter what the girl's personality is, whether she is easy to talk to or gentle, Bai Youlou can generally treat her equally.
Well, he couldn't do it completely, but he might be nicer to Zhang Xiaorong.
In short, there was no mention of staying at Liu Manli's place that night.
The elder sister Liu Manli was naturally aware of this matter, so she just asked him to go to the hotel bar for a drink after he came out from An Luning.
Drinking a drink is fake, helping him patch it up is real.
Otherwise, I have to say that the elder sister is perfect in every aspect.
After Bai Youlou came out from An Luning, he saw Liu Manli holding several lipsticks. She thought for a long time before choosing one and putting it on her lips.
After that, the lipstick mark on Bai Youlou’s neck returned.
In order to make it more "real", the mark is a bit blurred and the lip print cannot be seen
Liu Manli is very proud of her own work.
"How about this? I guarantee that your teacher Zhang will never recognize you."
Bai Youlou sipped his wine and said, "But your mouth is bigger than hers, and your lips are thicker, the difference is quite big."
In response to this, Liu Manli was not at all upset, but instead smiled.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered something very obscene and violent.
I feel a little embarrassed about what happened to Bai Youlou.
seduce!
It's definitely seductive!
It was only through his iron will that he was able to return to his room in the end.
-
After An Luning recovered from his cold, he left.
I was reluctant to leave, but no matter how reluctant I was, it would have been too unreasonable to stay any longer.
She is not an actor from the "Dying to Survive" crew, she just came to visit the set.
Who would visit the set for more than a week?
Even if he used the excuse of recording material with Lu Wenyuan to promote the TV series, it took too long.
Moreover, during this period, a "real" scandal with Bai Youlou was exposed.
Huaxing's public relations and publicity department is about to "kill Ma", but they are not responding and playing dead. The Internet is full of rumors, and they can only rely on them to suppress it a little. They bought some weird hot searches in an attempt to suppress the matter.
Of course, it is impossible to suppress it completely.
Even though several days had passed, there were still a lot of people discussing the matter of An Luning and Bai Youlou.
There were paparazzi and reporters hanging around outside the crew every day, which led to An Luning not even leaving the hotel in order not to affect Bai Youlou's filming.
But even if I stayed in the hotel, it wouldn't work because I was too big and too eye-catching.
If you don’t know, you might think that she and Bai Youlou sleep together and fuck each other hard every night.
An Luning herself didn't really want to leave. Regardless of whether she was working or not, because of the special nature of her job, she and Bai Youlou often couldn't see each other for a long time. If there was a chance, of course she would like to stay together for a longer period of time.
But if she doesn't leave, Zhang Xiaorong won't leave either~
When it comes to patience and a "Buddhist" attitude towards work, Zhang Xiaorong is much better than her.
Not working?
When she wasn't staying at Bai Youlou's place, she didn't run around for promotions very often.
And now is a great time, summer vacation!
The teacher's job is also on holiday~
Zhang Xiaorong did not hide her feelings and directly expressed that she liked Jinling very much and planned to vacation here for two months. If possible, she even wanted to buy a house.
An Luning: Huh?!
Two months? That would take a lot of time to make a baby!
Still buying a house?
Oh, this is too ridiculous, her sister Xiaorong is teasing her~
Came happily and left feeling aggrieved.
The biggest gain of An Luning's visit to the set was that she was recognized by the outside world and is now Bai Youlou's girlfriend.
This harvest was completely a coincidence.
She didn't want to "force" Bai Youlou in this way at all.
As a result, now, when I look through the comment section of my Weibo, a bunch of Bai Youlou’s fans come over and call me “Lou’s wife”.
To be honest, An Luning was actually a little happy in his heart. He even secretly liked the comments of these people one by one with his second account. It felt like being teased in school days. It seemed to break his defense, but in fact he was secretly happy. The premise is that he really likes the other person.
Sister Hong's evaluation is that, An Luning and Zhang Xiaorong, one won in face, and the other won in substance.
The internet was abuzz with discussions about the scandal between An Luning and Bai Youlou, and it seemed like they had won big, but in fact, Zhang Xiaorong, who was hardly mentioned by the media, had won more.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaorong was going to move directly into Bai Youlou's room, Lu Bao was already defeated.
Open and aboveboard, without any concealment.
Even if Liu Manli returned to the crew, it could not change this fact.
At first, Sister Hong was wondering whether Liu Manli, the "queen of the circle", would have a conflict with Zhang Xiaorong.
Before leaving, she specifically told me that I could contact her if anything happened.
I have to say that Sister Hong is indeed worthy of her reputation as a gold medal agent.
Even though Zhang Xiaorong now has a "competitive relationship" with An Luning, her attitude towards Zhang Xiaorong has not changed, and is exactly the same as before. She is even willing to support her in advance when she might be "bullied" by Liu Manli.
It's full of human touch.
Fortunately, Liu Manli did not do anything to Zhang Xiaorong.
Before her cold recovered, Liu Manli left.
He almost followed An Luning.
It’s hard to say that this isn’t because of Zhang Xiaorong.
Lao Zhou and others privately felt that the future boss lady would definitely be Zhang Xiaorong.
After having some "quiet time" on the crew, Zhang Xiaorong started working as an "assistant" again.
Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang look so familiar.
Isn't this what Zhang Xiaorong looked like when she was on the set every day during the filming of "Whiplash".
Unlike An Luning, the crew was in chaos as soon as she arrived. Brother Wenyuan hasn't recovered yet. This girl is about to become a disaster.
Zhang Xiaorong's presence is not strong. She spends most of her time in Bai Youlou's RV, eating with him and often using the kitchen equipment in the RV to prepare one or two dishes.
Sometimes when the crew is very busy, I will come down to help out~
This attitude, this behavior
The brothers in the crew expressed their full approval.
Especially the idiot Lu Wenyuan.
He kept calling her "Lou Sao" which made Zhang Xiaorong feel a little embarrassed.
In fact, Lu Wenyuan was not the only one who shouted like this. Lao Zhou and his friends would also often make such jokes with a laugh.
But Lu Wenyuan shouted particularly frequently and loudly.
But it is understandable that if there is anyone in the entire crew who most hopes that Bai Youlou and Zhang Xiaorong can "achieve a happy ending", it must be Lu Wenyuan.
Now he smiles foolishly whenever he sees Zhang Xiaorong. People who don’t know him would think he has a crush on Zhang Xiaorong.
In fact, this buddy really wants Bai Youlou to get married with Zhang Xiaorong tomorrow.
Occasionally, when they had dinner and drinks together, this guy would praise Zhang Xiaorong to the skies.
He himself couldn't hold back so many farts in front of An Luning.
This indirectly led to Bai Youlou adjusting the shooting plan and letting Lu Wenyuan "die" ahead of time.
Bai Youlou couldn't even help himself, so he put on a mask and drove the car himself to "kill" Lu Wenyuan.
"Congratulations to Brother Wenyuan on finishing the film!"
Looking at the words that Bai Youlou personally handed to him, Lu Wenyuan subconsciously smiled a little silly.
This made his agent, Brother Li, twitch his eyes. Wow, filming a movie is like participating in "Super Boy".
He used to be a cool and handsome guy, but after staying in Bai Youlou for more than a month, he now has a rustic vibe all over him.
Fortunately, the long yellow hair has been shaved off. Although it is a buzz cut now, a real handsome guy can still look handsome even with a shaved head.
As a top star, Lu Wenyuan naturally has this kind of good looks.
The most handsome guy in the Urban and Rural Comprehensive Department~
Fortunately, he will be joining the cast of an idol drama next month, playing the role of a super handsome, cold and overbearing president, which should help him regain a lot of his looks and temperament.
"Ah? Idol drama? You still accept this?"
Although Lu Wenyuan was the only one who finished filming, Bai Youlou still organized a small-scale wrap-up party for him in the evening.
I was a little surprised when I heard about his next drama arrangement.
You are so ambitious, you came here to play Huang Mao, and you are filming a stupid idol drama~
What? After you make a difficult and profound movie, you can reward yourself with a role as a domineering president to satisfy your pleasure?
"Brother Lou, you can't help yourself when you are in the arena. This is my company's play. The first and second female lead, as well as the second male lead, are all artists of the company."
Lu Wenyuan found it particularly easy to call "Brother Lou". In fact, more than a week ago, he learned to call Bai Youlou like Lao Zhou and the others.
Even though he is older than Bai Youlou.
"No wonder your company is acting so funny."
Lu Wenyuan felt a little helpless, but he was not entangled.
As an artist, you can't play whatever role you want.
He is not Bai Youlou~
I don’t have the capital to be that free and easy.
Bai Youlou is not unfamiliar with this model, as many film and television companies use this approach.
Lu Wenyuan is undoubtedly the top man in his company, but the company has provided resources to bring him to his current level, so naturally they also hope that he will give something back.
It is a common practice in the entertainment industry for the old to bring up the new.
Use Lu Wenyuan's popularity and audience appeal to lead other newcomers or artists of lower status that the company wants to promote.
Of course, having achieved his level, he is no longer just a puppet of the company and still has some say.
Being able to star in "Dying to Survive" is a good example.
Bai Youlou’s movies do have a great reputation, but Lu Wenyuan’s status is also there.
Star Entertainment is such a big company, and he is almost the top star, but he actually went to play a supporting role in a movie.
Unless he becomes out of fashion one day, Lu Wenyuan will hardly ever be able to play a supporting role, and it is impossible for him to play a supporting role.
No company wants to have its storefront be used by others.
For example, Liu Manli would never let Jiang Yuanchu carry a sedan chair for others on the stage.
She can only stand in the center of the stage.
So, this may be the first and last time that Lu Wenyuan cooperates with Bai Youlou in a long time in the future.
Of course, guest appearances definitely don’t count, we’re talking about leading roles here.
On this point, both of them were quite clear to each other.
"cheers."
The cups clinked together, and the two guys who had almost come to blows laughed it off.
