Chapter 406: Official Filming
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Shang ROU only felt that the production team of “Three Thousand Realms” was humiliating her by asking her to act as the villain supporting actress.
She had gone there for the role of the female lead, but in the end, such an outcome came. She immediately threw a tantrum.
The manager’s face was bitter. “The role of a supporting actress can be quite popular too. I’ve asked about the female lead and the role has already been decided.”
Shang Rou’s manager had long expected this. When he first received the news, he also tried to ask, but he received an answer that the female lead had already been chosen.
“Who’s the female lead?” Shang Rou asked bluntly.
From her tone, it was as if she would pull whoever was the female lead down and snatch the role for herself. This gave the manager a headache.
“I don’t know either. The list of cast members is confidential now.” The manager sighed.
Just as the manager was thinking that such a good opportunity might really be ruined by Shang Rou’s temper, Shang Rou suddenly changed her mind.
Shang Rou seemed to suddenly have an idea. ‘Til do it.
What was the point of her standing here? Shang Rou’s mind became active. She just had to agree to join the production team first and snatch the female lead position away later.
Soon, the cast and crew name list was released.
[We’re very happy to announce that we’ll be cooperating with @Zhanrong
(®Baiyi @Shangrou… and other experts…]
As the official production team account of “Three Thousand Realms”, the first post released the list of the main leads and the members of the production team.
Among them, the director, Liu Cheng, and the screenwriter, Moon Goddess, were especially eye-catching. They were also one of the points of everyone’s attention.
“Hurry up! I want to see it now!”
“The Moon Goddess and Director Liu Cheng are working together again?! I’m looking forward to the quality of their new work!!”
“Did anyone notice that Shang Rou is actually not the female lead? It’s very difficult to imagine that she would actually agree to play a supporting role… Moreover, I read before that the role she’s playing is a villain.”
“Zhanrong, you can do it!!”
A worried comment mixed in with the revelry became especially eye-catching. However, no matter how the fans reacted, the production team still had to start filming and the opening ceremony had to be held.
As the author and part-time screenwriter, Murong Qiao naturally had to participate.
Fortunately, the weather on the day of the opening ceremony was clear and cloudless. When Murong Qiao went, she had to go to the dressing room to touch up her makeup for the photoshoot, so she met with the cast.
“Hello, I’m Zhanrong. We met on the day of the audition,” Zhanrong said first. The dressing room was naturally separated for men and women. As for why Zhanrong appeared at Bai Yi’s place, it was because the two of them had chosen an empty time to act.
Murong Qiao nodded in response. “I remember. Your acting skills are very good.”
It was not out of politeness. It was because Zhanrong’s acting was really similar to the male lead in her novel that Murong Qiao remembered him.
Clearly, these words were also an affirmation of Zhanrong, causing a sincere smile to appear on his face. Even his subsequent words were a little embarrassed.
“Um… actually, I’m a fan of yours.” Zhan Rong was a little nervous for once.
“Fearless is very good!”
He had liked the two novels written by Murong Qiao previously, so when he found out that he had been chosen as the male lead by the production team of “Three Thousand Realms”, he was so happy that he lost some of his composure.
“I like Boss—no, Moon Goddess’ novels too!” Meanwhile, Bai Yi, who was still putting on makeup, couldn’t help but say.
Bai Yi was just 19 years old and had been discovered by a talent scout. When she spoke, her expression wasn’t faked, and her tone was filled with admiration. However, she was a little annoyed t.o have to change her form of addressing her boss.
Murong Qiao looked at the two of them in surprise, only a helpless smile on his face.
She probably didn’t expect the two main leads to be her book fans this time. Fortunately, both Zhanrong and Bai Yi knew their limits. They only expressed their liking and did not disturb Murong Qiao, obediently watching the show at the side.
On the other hand, Murong Qiao took a few more glances at the two of them.
She quite liked it.
She even took a photo of herself on set and sent it to Huo Yichen to share with
him.
[The third drama is about to start filming. The little girl is an actress from our company and is quite good-looking. Speaking of which, I recently discovered a good restaurant. Let’s eat together after you’re done?]
After typing a long line of words, Murong Qiao clicked send.
Huo Yichen quickly replied, [Alright, don’t work too hard. Don’t worry about
me.]
It was clearly very few words and there was nothing to read, but Murong Qiao looked at it for a long time. There was a smile on her lips that she didn’t notice. Bai Yi took the opportunity to take a peek while reading the script. When she saw her boss’s mysterious smile, she guessed that it was most likely news about the lady boss.
She had been in the company for a long time, so Bai Yi naturally knew the gossip about Huo Yichen coming to the company that day.
“Focus,” Zhanrong reminded her.
Bai Yi suddenly came back to her senses and blushed. “Sorry.” Murong Qiao was still replying to Huo Yichen’s message when she heard the door behind her seem to open, and then she felt a weight on her body.
“Qiao—” An Nuo pounced on Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao turned around, very surprised to see her here. “Why are you here?”
“I finished my work early and knew that you were here, so I came to look for you to go home with me,” An Nuo said with a smile.
She seemed to be in a good mood. Coupled with the fact that there would be sounds when the two of them conversed, she was afraid that it would affect Bai Yi and Zhanrong’s acting, so Murong Qiao and An Nuo simply changed rooms to stay.
“Qiao, I was even invited by the QL brand to endorse today.” An Nuo couldn’t wait to share her good news with Murong Qiao.
QL was a pretty good beauty brand in the country. It had always had a good reputation. The invitation to An Nuo this time was also an affirmation of her. Murong Qiao was confused for a moment. “QL… sounds quite familiar.” “It’s probably the products I gave you previously?” An Nuo thought for a moment. “I quite like their things. Pink pancakes and highlights are my favorites.”
Most of the girls were more interested in beauty makeup, and An Nuo had improved a little. Moreover, after becoming a celebrity, she paid more attention to her face. Hence, An Nuo even learned a lot of real materials to let herself understand cosmetics.
“Not bad. Why don’t we have a meal to celebrate when you’re free? It just so happens that Ruan Ying said that we’ve been too busy these past few days.” Murong Qiao was sincerely happy for An Nuo.
At the mention of Ruan Ying, An Nuo also remembered that it had been a while since they last met.
From time to time, Ruan Ying would complain that Murong Qiao and An Nuo were both obsessed with their careers. They would definitely be strong career women in the future.
“Sure, we can eat together after I finish filming the endorsement.” An Nuo agreed immediately.
While the two of them were chatting, the opening ceremony was already prepared. A staff member called everyone over to take a photo.
An Nuo didn’t join in the fun, indicating that she would wait for the opening ceremony to end.
“I hope that Three Thousand Realms can be better than Fearless…”
When he arrived, Liu Cheng was talking. He looked very happy, and his words were filled with expectations for the production team.
After all, they had previously filmed such good work like Fearless. Everyone’s expectations for Three Thousand Realms naturally increased.
Whether it was the production team or Liu Cheng, this was both pressure and another motivation.
just as Liu Cheng was speaking, a person walked over from the entrance. It was Shang Rou, who had arrived late.
Murong Qiao didn’t see her in the dressing room just now. She thought that she was somewhere else, but she had just arrived.
“Hurry up and take the photos. I have other things to do after this,” Shang Rou said as soon as she arrived.
Anyone could hear the impatience in her tone. She put on more airs than anyone else. Even when she stood in the supporting role’s position, the expression on her face was very unwilling..
