With all these factors added together, every cell in Xiaoxiao’s body entered a level-ten alert state. When they arrived at the hotel the production team had arranged for Lu Zhen, Xiaoxiao checked the room. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she asked Lu Zhen to wash up.
After resting for the night, Lu Zhen came to the production team the next day. For Lu Zhen, the welcoming ceremony of the “River God” production team was very grand. The director and the main leads welcomed Lu Zhen with the etiquette of treating foreign guests.
“Welcome, Miss Lu Zhen, to the production team of ‘River God’!” There were two bangs beside her. The ribbons in the paper ribbon cannon rushed into the air and fluttered down.
Lu Zhen was speechless. Wasn’t this a little too grand? The role she played was only a small supporting role! She also revealed a friendly smile and shook hands with everyone in the production team. Initially, she did not intend to bow, but everyone who shook her hand would bow. She could only bow in return. After greeting the group of people, Lu Zhen’s waist was a little sore.
Director Shen Dong was 37 years old this year. He had become an internationally renowned director before the age of 40. This achievement could be said to be very shocking.
“Miss Lu Zhen, you just arrived in R Nation. You don’t have to be in such a hurry to come to the production team. Why don’t you rest for a few days? I’ll find a local tour guide to bring you to a few scenic spots,” Shen Dong said politely after the two of them sat down.
Lu Zhen was afraid that Shen Dong would think that she was very free during this period of time, so she hurriedly said, “There’s no need, Director Shen. I came to R Nation to work, not to play. Although I’m very interested in R Nation’s culture, time is tight. I still hope to complete the filming mission as soon as possible. When there’s a chance in the future, I’ll specially come to R Nation for a tour.”
Shen Dong nodded and said in shame, “That’s true. I didn’t think it through. Miss Lu Zhen is already a superstar in Country Z and a high-profile new star in the international film industry. Your schedule must be very busy. If not for that accident, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have had the time to come to the production team of ‘River God’.”
Shen Dong’s praise made Lu Zhen almost unable to sit still. She had only acted as a small player in Aurelian’s film, so how could she dare to admit that she was a “high-profile new star in the international film industry”?
Lu Zhen smiled humbly and said, “It’s my fortune to be able to join Director Shen Dong’s production team.”
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, they entered the work process. Shen Dong arranged for Lu Zhen’s scenes to be filmed. They were scheduled to film a scene tonight, and the remaining scenes should be finished within a week.
“Alright, if there’s no problem, I’ll leave first. Miss Lu Zhen, if you have any questions, you can look for me at any time,” Shen Dong said.
“Will do.”
After Shen Dong left, Xiaoxiao, who was standing behind Lu Zhen, avoided the interpreter and whispered in Lu Zhen’s ear, “Why is this director so enthusiastic? And the others in the production team treat you very well.”
Xiaoxiao had thought that Lu Zhen would be looked down upon in the production team.
R Nation was generally a relatively xenophobic country. The entertainment industry in this country was extremely developed, and it also attracted many young people from other countries to come to R Nation to pursue their dreams of becoming celebrities. However, the treatment of young people from other countries in R Nation was far inferior to that of natives.
After sighing, Xiaoxiao quickly thought of the reason why Lu Zhen was treated preferentially.
Lu Zhen was naturally different from those young people who came to R Nation to chase their dreams with nothing.
Lu Zhen was an actress who had been nominated for an important award at the Holy Grail Film Festival. Moreover, she was considered a top superstar in Country Z. With such an identity, no actor in the production team of “River God” could compare to her.
Therefore, even if Lu Zhen was a foreigner, she was respected by the others in the production team. At the thought of this, Xiaoxiao could not help but puff out her chest proudly. Indeed, strength and achievements were the best business cards.
Due to the fact that the role was relatively simple and that there was enough time, Lu Zhen quickly made preparations. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her condition, Lu Zhen put on her earphones and secretly practiced her F-language listening.
Professor Xu said that her foreign language results would be helpful for her to apply to Newport University. Although Lu Zhen did not think that she could get into Newport University with her level, since Professor Xu had said so, she had to participate in a foreign language test and try her best to perform well.
As for whether Newport University would eliminate her in the first batch after she applied for it, that was beyond her control. Before the sun set, the makeup artist from the production team came to do Lu Zhen’s makeup and styling.
