Chapter 28: Joining The Cast
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yan Zhang wouldn’t miss the opportunity to teach Jiang Zhi a lesson.
Swallowtail Entertainment had been contacting the cast of “Beacon” because they had seen the potential of “Beacon” in the later stages and planned to take advantage of it to gain popularity.
However, they didn’t expect Jiang Zhi to steal the role that was originally set in stone.
Yan Zhang couldn’t take it lying down no matter what.
He contacted director Zheng and told him that Jiang Lu agreed to take the role of the second female lead.
Director Zheng was originally worried about the second female lead and was overjoyed. However, Yan Zhang had additional conditions.
“Based on Jiang Lu’s current position, the second female lead role is rarely taken. However, Jiang Lu especially likes the script of ‘Beacon’ and trusts director Zheng’s standard..”
Yan Zhang said slowly, “Therefore, we want to increase the scenes of the second female lead so that the character’s image can be developed further.”
There was a moment of silence on the phone. After a long while, Director Zheng smiled bitterly and said, “Director Yan, you are making things difficult for me.”
Yan Zhang unhurriedly threw out the bait. “Director Zheng, you should be clear about Jiang Lu’s strength.
“Just adding a few more scenes won’t cause much of an impact.”
Seeing that director Zheng was still hesitant and unwilling to give in, Yan Zhang simply threw down the last bombshell.
“If it’s possible, Swallowtail will also pay attention to and invest in your next masterpiece. This is a good deal, isn’t it?”
This promise indeed made director Zheng extremely tempted.
Actually, Jiang Lu’s acting wasn’t very good in his eyes, but at least she passed the test. The main reason he asked for Jiang Lu was because in a movie, there had to be at least one or two big stars with their own fans.
Otherwise, no matter how good the movie was, no one would come and watch it. They would not be able to gain any traction.
Now that Jiang Lu wanted to take over the role, Swallowtail had also promised to invest in the next round of filming. In that case, it was not impossible to give her two extra scenes that were not too important.
Thinking of this, Director Zheng nodded. “Okay!”
..
After successfully getting the second female lead role in “Beacon”, Jiang Lu directly entered the set the next day to start filming. She did not expect to bump into Jiang Zhi.
As Jiang Zhi’s manager, she did not need to be at the set.
However, this was Yu Wan’s first movie, and also the first tough battle after the rise of “Star Glory”.
Yu Wan was so stressed that she could not sleep at night. Jiang Zhi could not be rest assured, so she decided to join the set together.
Before Jiang Zhi left, she handed over the company’s matters to Ji Hao. She suddenly remembered that another person was still waiting for her.
When Lu Mian heard the news, his blue eyes instantly darkened.
“You can’t not go?”
Jiang Zhi answered as she warmed up, “I’m her manager. I’m going to be her assistant this time. Of course, I have to go with her.”
Lu Mian lowered his eyes and cooperated with her to help Jiang Zhi relax. His tone carried a subtle sense of grievance.
“You’re my manager too.”
He murmured softly, and the scorching temperature of his body gradually approached her. “Why aren’t you with me?”
Jiang Zhi looked embarrassed. “Haven’t you received your job yet?”
Lu Mian lowered his eyes and didn’t say anything.
His sudden silence made Jiang Zhi feel a little uncomfortable.
She cleared her throat and comforted him awkwardly, “Just for three months.”
Lu Mian raised his eyebrows and pursed his thin lips. He stared at Jiang Zhi with his sapphire blue eyes and his low and hoarse voice shook her ears.
“If we’re apart for so long, I will miss you very much.”
Jiang Zhi looked embarrassed and her eyes darted around. “Don’t be like this...”
Lu Mian turned Jiang Zhi’s face forcefully and forced her to look at him.
“Won’t you miss me?
“I’ll miss your body temperature...”
Lu Mian’s rough fingers slowly traced her eyebrows, then slid down her skin, landing on her full lips.
His deep gaze stopped on her small lips, and his fingers rubbed them affectionately. “Your kiss.”
His gaze continued to move down, stopping at her exquisite collarbones, her undulating breasts, and her slim waist. His breathing became heavy instantly, and his voice was hoarse.
“Every night, I will miss you passionately.”
Jiang Zhi’s ears were burning from his gaze, and her lips were burning from his teasing. She immediately turned her face away in a fluster.
“It’s a work requirement. There’s no way to avoid separation.”
She grabbed onto her shattered rationality and tried to reason with Lu Mian.
However, the other party did not give her the chance. “Why don’t I go with you?”
Lu Mian’s sapphire blue eyes stared straight at Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi found it difficult to breathe, and she was still conscious.
“You’re not an actor. You won’t be allowed there.” freewebnov(e)l.com
“Why not?”
Lu Mian lowered his head and revealed a soul-stirring smile. He kissed her on the corner of her lips. “As long as you think of a way to arrange a role for me, we can be together forever.”
Jiang Zhi tilted her head back. Her ears were slightly red, and her rationality left her inch by inch.
Her devilish voice was bewitching. “I can see you, hug you, and kiss you every day...”
With every word he said, his lips moved down a little. Jiang Zhi’s consciousness also dissipated along with the scorching temperature and lost her mind.
She muttered, “Hmm...”
The next second, Lu Mian’s eyes revealed a triumphant and dazzling smile.
