After learning that Nan Qiao was asking him to go home for dinner, Muro ng Zheng readily agreed.
The two of them then took the car sent by the butler, Uncle Yang, and returned home together.
“Second Young Master, long time no see.”
Uncle Yang stood at the door and greeted Murong Zheng, who had just gotten out of the car. His voice was filled with nostalgia.
He vaguely remembered that the last time he saw this young master was a few months ago.
“It’s been a long time.”
Looking at the person he was familiar with, Murong Zheng seemed to have become more talkative.
Nan Qiao got out of the car and looked at Murong Zheng, who was chatting well with Uncle Yang. She was starting to have quite a good impression of her second brother.
They had come back earlier than Murong Chen as it was said that he still had some matters to deal with at the company, so he could only come back later.
Nan Qiao had been tense for the entire day. After greeting everyone, she returned to her room and read the news.
Only then did she realize that the editor had reminded her to post on Weibo today to help promote “Fearless”, which was about to start filming.
The news of “Fearless” being adapted into a television drama had already spread on the Internet during this period of time. The popularity was already brewing.
Nan Qiao opened Weibo and looked at the topics on it. When her gaze swept past Fearless, which was already ranked seventh, she couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
She looked at the official announcement of the Fearless TV series at noon and left a message below.
“I’m very honored to bo able to work with Director Liu Cheng this time. Please look forward to the adaptation of my work, Fearless.”
Not long after this sentence was posted, it was praised and pinned by the administrators. It directly placed this sentence at the top of all the comments.
When the fans of the original novel saw Moon Goddess’s comments, they all left comments.
There were a lot of comments under Weibo, including all kinds of discussions. Other than half of the comments being from Moon Goddess’s fans, the rest were mostly from the entertainment industry.
“Since we’re about to start filming, who should we choose for the male lead? Although I like Moon Goddess very much, I’m still very worried about this casting issue.”
“Help, 1 don’t want those pretty boys to ruin the male lead in my heart.”
“Don’t worry, this is Director Liu Cheng’s work. He’s doing this with the intention of winning an award. How can he disappoint everyone?”
In this era of popular celebrities, many movies and television works only focused on looks. Even if they wanted to make a good show, they were suppressed by the lure of profits.
Those who had read ’’Fearless’’ had excellent evaluations of the novel itself, but when it came to the adaptation, they couldn’t help but worry.
After ail, they had already decided to film it. Fans who had read the novel were still very concerned about the casting. Not to mention that in many novels nowadays, other than the plot, actors were the most important.
If the actors were not chosen well, it would flop from the beginning.
After skimming through the comments on Weibo, Nan Qiao randomly chose a few comments to reply to that would not cause a battle.
Moon Goddess: Don’t worry about quality.
After Nan Qiao replied, she placed her phone on the bed and prepared to take a shower.
Today’s mess had piled up, making Nan Qiao a little tired.
However, little did she know that her comments on the Internet had caused another wave of popularity.
The Moon Goddess had personally spoken! Now I can be at ease!
This was a true fan of Moon Goddess.
[Although that’s the case, how many authors of novels have ever interfered with the adaptation? In my opinion, this is just perfunctory.]
“Especially the male lead. I heard through the grapevine that he’s a certain celebrity with the surname Xu. It seems like it’s already a done deal.”
“The news had just been released and they had already decided on the actors?”
[Who can compare to our Xian Yu? In my opinion, no one in this drama is more suitable to be the male lead than Xian Yu.]
The comments online were mixed, but there were still many doubts.
“What are you looking at? You’re so engrossed. It’s your turn.”
The manager’s voice sounded in his ear.
Xu Qinsang came back to his senses and put the phone back on the table before subconsciously smiling at his manager.
“It’s nothing. I’m just replying to my fans.”
He didn’t say that he was looking at the Weibo post that Moon Goddess had just posted.
For the past two days, the news that the production team for Fearless wanted to make adjustments to the filming had been aplenty. Director Liu Cheng had also said that he would be the executive director of this drama.
Xu Qinsang had been paying attention to this matter openly and covertly, wanting to get the role of the male lead.
He knew very well that with his current identity and status, it was very possible for him to act as the male lead. Moreover, getting involved with Director Liu Cheng would allow him to rise to the top in a single step.
With such a good opportunity in front of him, how could Xu Qinsang not be tempted?
“I’ve never seen you so concerned before.”
The manager raised his eyebrows. He felt that Xu Qinsang was a little different from before. He lowered his head and looked at his watch.
“There’s still five minutes left. Prepare yourself. This time, I specially prepared an opportunity for you to attract attention. Don’t waste it.”
Xu Qinsang was the best seedling in her hands. She, Sister Wang, as his manager, was very concerned about Xu Qinsang.
Even the people backstage could hear the overwhelming cheers outside, Xu Qinsang quickly looked at himself in the mirror, but his mind was still on Fearless.
“Sis Wang, have they decided on the male lead for Fearless?’1
After hesitating for a moment, he could not help but ask the question.
When Sis Wang heard this, she looked up at Xu Qinsang. “I haven’t received any news yet. There’s still no news from Director Liu Cheng,”
“However, the company has some ideas for you. Just wait for the news about the audition news to be released.”
Xu Qinsang’s eyes immediately lit up. He nodded and forced himself to focus on the matter at hand.
At the same time, Xian Yu also received the news.
“Xian Yu, I have a project for you. Do you want to accept it?”
The assistant placed the cast invitation in front of Xian Yu.
Xian Yu didn’t even look and just waved his hand. His gaze was fixed on the tablet in his hand and he didn’t even say anything.
“This is Director Liu Cheng’s work. The other party specifically wants you to go.”
The assistant looked at Xian Yu and suppressed the urge to sigh. She held the script in front of this Old Master and used Director Liu’s name to motivate him to take it up.
Everyone in the industry knew that as long as Director Liu Cheng was involved, it would definitely not be bad. The actors’ popularity would definitely increase as well. Most importantly, if one participated in a project, one would have a chance to be nominated for an annual award. If he was lucky, he could even win a very highly acclaimed award.
Every actor would want to build a relationship with Director Liu Cheng.
“Leave the script for now. I’m reading a novel.”
However, Xian Yu didn’t hear what the person said at all. At this moment, he was focused on reading the words on the tablet at a speed of ten lines at a glance.
The assistant sighed helplessly and could only leave the script there. She could only hope that he would really read the script and turned to leave Xian Yu’s room.
In the past two days, other than being busy with work, Xian Yu spent the rest of his time reading novels. To be precise, he was reading a novel called “Fearless”.
Xian Yu originally wanted to use it to pass the time. Moreover, he would usually read some novels as per work requirements. In the end, he was hooked on reading ‘‘Fearless”. From then on, he was no longer a passerby in the novel world.
It was as if he was addicted to reading this novel. He simply could not stop reading it. He had to read it non stop for three days to reach the finale.
He had to admit that Moon Goddess’s book wrote its way into his heart. The more he read, the more he felt that Moon Goddess was his idol!
Xian Yu kept scrolling through the screen and allowed himself to be immersed in the magnificent world of the novel. He didn’t even bother to look at the script on the table..
