However, if Lu Zhen’s performance was too bad and could not satisfy the audience and film critics, the box office and reputation of this movie would not be guaranteed, let alone winning an award.
If that was the case, Xu Rui’s plan to participate in this movie to gild herself would fail.
Xu Rui sighed. This conflicting feeling annoyed her.
There were not many scenes in the afternoon, so the filming went smoothly. Although Xu Rui had just entered the entertainment industry and her acting skills were still a little rusty, she was very smart. She could understand some details after Ding Zhi told her, so most of the scenes were filmed four to five times.
After filming, Ding Zhi even praised Xu Rui for her agile performance.
Xu Rui let out a long sigh of relief and smiled humbly. “It’s all thanks to
Director Ding’s guidance.”
Being able to obtain Ding Zhi’s recognition was not in vain. The training and guidance she had gotten from the teachers before filming was not in vain.
Xu Rui was even more convinced that she was talented. Moreover, she was not lazy and was willing to study hard. There was no reason for her to not be the one to succeed in the end. She just needed a chance.
After knowing that she could only play the second female lead, Xu Rui was not complacenet at all. She knew that compared to Lu Zhen, she was just a junior with a low reputation. It was already very precious to her to be able to get the role of the second female lead.
However, at the same time, Xu Rui also swore in her heart that she would never be the second female lead for the rest of her life. One day, she would become the dazzling first female lead and the most popular female celebrity in the entertainment industry. She would surpass Lu Zhen and prove to those who chose Lu Zhen but gave up on her back then that they were wrong. She, Xu Rui, was the most outstanding person!
It was late at night, and the sky was filled with stars. It meant that tomorrow would be a good day.
“Young Master Bian, please come back. Old Master is about to die of anger. He said that if you don’t come back, he won’t acknowledge you as his grandson!”
On the phone, the Bian Family’s old housekeeper begged Bian Lang to go home.
Bian Lang was extremely impatient. “Why would I go back? I already said that I’m not interested in those women!”
Because Bian Lang was not young anymore, Bian Lang’s grandfather had always been worried about his marriage, so he found many blind dates for him. Basically, they were all young ladies from wealthy families with ties to the Bian family.
Bian Lang was interested in women, but he wasn’t interested in marriage. That was why he had always resisted blind dates, and he didn’t want to lose his freedom after getting married at this age.
There was a strange sound on the other end of the line. The phone seemed to have been snatched away.
Then, an old man said angrily, “Then what kind of woman are you interested in? Those unpresentable female celebrities? You’ve thrown our family’s reputation to that damned place in the entertainment industry!’
The more Old Master spoke, the angrier he became. “If your Auntie hadn’t mentioned to me that you were sending gifts to a female celebrity called Lu
Rou all day, I wouldn’t have known that you were actually so blatant outside. It’s fine if you found those models in private, but you’re dating a female celebrity in such a high-profile manner now. Which girl will be willing to marry you in the future? People will look down on you!’
Bian Langs grandfather was almost 90 years old. The old man was born in the war era of the last century, so his views were more traditional. In his opinion, those people in the entertainment industry were just actors who relied on their skin to please others. It was the lowest industry.
There were many people in the upper class who had such thoughts.
In Grandpa Bian Lang’s opinion, Bian Lang and Lu Rou’s high-profile relationship was embarrassing.
“Grandpa, don’t worry about me. I’m not dating that Lu Rou. I’m just playing around. She’s just spouting nonsense. Can you not believe her?” Bian Lang was exasperated, so annoyed that his throat was about to burn.
This Lu Rou really made him worry! She usually pestered him all day and sent dozens of messages. She was not even as annoying as the debt collector.
In order not to let Lu Rou continue to annoy him, Bian Lang instructed his assistant to send Lu Rou a lot of things. Unexpectedly, Lu Rou turned around and posted photos of the things he had given her on the Internet,
accompanied by ambiguous and mushy words.
He went to question her, but Lu Rou still looked innocent and aggrieved, so he couldn’t even scold her.
If it was in the past, Bian Lang would have long dumped such an ignorant woman. But now, he wanted to use Lu Rou to take revenge on Lu Zhen. He couldn’t fall out with Lu Rou yet.
Bian Lang had no choice but to warn Lu Rou not to flaunt their relationship in the future. “Listen carefully. I’m not in a relationship with you.. Treat me as your fan, understand?”
