Chapter 1260: Chapter 1260: Attempting to Make Things Difficult
Yun Qiluo encountered this kind of situation for the first time, feeling like it was a surprise inspection by the school leadership, where the teacher asked them to perform well.
She obediently agreed and then packed her things to return to the hotel and delve into the script.
Meanwhile, Xue Fan glanced at her, then at Lan Xinxin, thinking of the investor’s secret relationship with Lan Xinxin, couldn’t help but worry and furrow his brow.
He only hoped he wasn’t overthinking.
It’s normal for an investor to check the progress and situation of the shooting.
The next day, the investor arrived at the set around four in the afternoon.
At that time, they hadn’t started filming yet, so Xue Fan and the assistant director led him around for a look and showed him the footage they had shot recently.
The investor’s name was Zhang Jiayuan, a famous real estate mogul, in his forties or fifties, not very knowledgeable about filming, his only requirement was having Lan Xinxin as the lead actress.
Usually, Xue Fan liked encountering such investors because they knew nothing and wouldn’t interfere, allowing them to shoot freely and wait for results in the end.
So when he invested in this film, insisting Lan Xinxin be the lead, they agreed.
Because Lan Xinxin was on the candidate list, not the most suitable but quite satisfactory.
Who knew today, Zhang Jiayuan would be inspecting everything, especially after seeing the footage, he frowned even more.
"Who is this young actress?"
Xue Fan saw him pointing at Yun Qiluo, and his heart skipped a beat, hurriedly saying, "Oh, she’s just a minor role, playing the palace maid Bishui, she’s a newcomer with pretty good expressiveness."
"I see."
Zhang Jiayuan nodded, then looked at Lan Xinxin beside him.
Lan Xinxin nodded back at him, her expression slightly aggrieved, with a hint of coquettishness.
Beside them, He Shao watched the scene, couldn’t help but furrow his brow, feeling something amiss.
It was almost time to shoot, so Lan Xinxin proactively spoke:
"It’s just right that I don’t have a scene in this session; let me entertain Mr. Zhang, I’ve known him for two years and have always been good friends."
Xue Fan nodded: "Alright, let’s leave it to you then."
He Shao looked at Lan Xinxin, then at the others whose expressions were normal, his furrowed brow gradually relaxed.
The shooting scene didn’t include Lan Xinxin; it was mainly Yun Qiluo’s performance, where Bishui faced Empress Jiang Yunxuan’s rival concubine, showing her clever responses to the intentional difficulties and oppression.
Next, the Ninth Prince saw this scene, became interested in the smart and beautiful young palace maid, falling in love at first sight.
In the first half, Yun Qiluo had an outstanding performance in the face-off with the concubine.
Knowing that the "leadership" was observing, Yun Qiluo wanted to uphold the reputation of the crew, thus performed with extra effort.
Zhang Jiayuan initially showed some admiration in his eyes seeing her appearance, but Lan Xinxin’s reminder made him realize he was here for the star he supports.
As for this young actress, though pretty, she wasn’t his type, and if one day he wanted, he could easily bring her into his circle.
He quickly composed himself, pretending to watch the performance seriously.
Originally intending to find some faults to use as an excuse, just as he prepared his excuse, he heard the director shout "Cut!" and then started praising:
"Luo Luo performed well today! Much improvement from the previous days!"
People around also showed satisfied smiles.
