If it was at home now, Chu Xiaxing could immediately grab the back of Chu Qiuyi's neck and stop her yin and yang's strange behavior. However, the two sisters were sitting in the dining room, and suddenly it was not appropriate for them to clump together.

When Zhang Anluo heard Chu Qiuyi's mocking tone, her expression was awkward and stiff, and she didn't know how to open her mouth for a while.

Chen Yanping is an old Jianghu. She looked at Chu Qiuyi with interest and said in a kind manner, "Then do you have any recommendations?"

Chu Qiuyi raised her eyebrows, she immediately reached out her hand to signal to the waiter, and said, "Can you drink the wine here too? Everyone basically brings their own wine. Let them go to my collection and get a bottle."

Zhang Anluo was stunned and said, "Collection?"

Chu Qiuyi showed a reserved smile. She glanced at Zhang Anluo playfully, and joked, "Don't you know my sister? You can store your own wine here and ask them to bring it out when you come to dinner. The wine in the restaurant is not always a fool. outsiders."

"I said you too, don't go to the private room upstairs, you are still sitting outside..." Chu Qiuyi turned her head and complained about Chu Xiaxing next to her, "The hall is not full of FITs, and the dining environment is not good. "

Chu Xiaxing said lightly: "I don't like private rooms. The environment is too closed, and the ventilation is not smooth, and it is easy to contract viruses."

Chu Qiuyi said in shock, "Who said that? Where is the virus in the private room?"

Chu Xiaxing made a joke: "Sitting in the private room with you, it is easy to cause human-to-human transmission, and finally contract the sperm virus."

Chu Qiuyi: "You hate it!"

Chen Yanping was amused by the two of them, and she couldn't help but wonder: "You are actually sisters, isn't that a big difference in age? I really didn't expect Director Chu to have a sister."

Chu Xiaxing said indifferently, "Well, I didn't expect it either."

Chen Yanping: "?"

Chu Qiuyi's tone was sincere, and she described it vividly, like telling a story: "The first time I saw her, she felt kind-hearted, and we all have the surname Chu, maybe it's a fate from a previous life, and I decided to admit it now. This goddamn sister, we really get along very well..."

Chu Xiaxing: "..." Isn't this the fate of the previous life, I regard you as my own sister, but you want to be my sister

Chen Yanping knew that rich people believed this, she showed a thoughtful look, and joked: "So that's the case, then should I talk to Director Chu about the remuneration for filming, or will I be troubled by your sister? "

Chu Xiaxing: "...Can you not learn from her sister and sister?" This is the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission

Chu Qiuyi complained: "Oh, I also think that she is not good at filming. Every time she is very tired and hard in the group, why do she work so hard all day long

After Chu Qiuyi came on stage, Zhang Anluo basically kept quiet, but she couldn't help but ask: "Then what do you do?"

Chu Qiuyi stretched out his hand to look at his new manicure, and said casually: "I, I'm just an idler, I usually do medical beauty and drink tea, and I don't bother to do anything, just thinking about eating and waiting to die, I can Without her fighting spirit."

Chu Xiaxing said with an expressionless face, "I advise you not to listen to her remarks that hinder the harmonious progress of the society, which will easily corrode the will of young people. It is better to be down-to-earth."

Zhang Anluo was relieved when she heard the words, Chu Qiuyi just looked at the money, and if her social status was not high, she also didn't have much energy.

Chen Yanping couldn't help but sigh: "I see that you know so much about red wine, and I thought you were running a winery."

Chu Qiuyi smiled and said, "I do have a winery, but who makes money from a winery, isn't it just a thing, just play with friends occasionally, do you really expect it to be profitable?"

"The two of you are also in film and television?" Chu Qiuyi raised her eyebrows. She looked at the two people on the opposite side, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I don't know much about this industry."

Chen Yanping introduced herself and said in a friendly manner: "I'm just a behind-the-scenes worker. It's normal that you don't know me. An Luo has acted in a lot of plays, and I guess you have seen them too!"

When Chu Qiuyi heard this, she looked at Zhang Anluo with a look of surprise and admiration: "Really? Are you an actor? Which company are you from?"

Zhang Anluo bumped into the other party's bright eyes, and she also felt a light on her face at this time, she was still famous, and she was different from ordinary rich wives. Her brokerage company is quite famous, so she answered proudly: "I am from Orange Entertainment Film and Television."

Chu Qiuyi pointed at the staff at the next table, blinked and said, "Then they are also from Orange Entertainment?"

Zhang Anluo raised her head and said, "Yes, this is the team I often lead."

Chu Qiuyi simply took out her mobile phone, and she lowered her head to look up her friend: "Ah, then you all belong to Xiangxiang Company, why don't we call Xiangxiang out, I haven't got together with her for a long time..."

Zhang Anluo said in surprise, "Xiangxiang?"

Chu Qiuyi looked strange: "Isn't your boss called Wang Xiang? Orange Entertainment Film and Television was made by Xiangxiang, right? We were an intern together in the production team. She invited me to the company's annual meeting last time. I hate it. I didn’t go when I was tired, just made up for it today!”

"I'm not saying, Xiangxiang has aged so fast in the past two years, and her skin condition has also collapsed. As expected, managing the company is a lot of work. Why do you want me to say that I'm so tired..." Chu Qiuyi flipped through the circle of friends, she was quite pleasantly surprised Said, "I think her circle of friends is located nearby, and the time to come here is just right!"

Zhang Anluo was shocked when she heard the words, and the staff of Orange Entertainment not far away looked at each other in dismay.

Some people also have the WeChat account of the big boss. They immediately looked down to check the Moments, and sure enough, they saw the content posted by the general manager Wang Xianggang, and the location was very close to here.

Zhang Anluo has access to good resources in the team, mainly relying on the energy of Orange Entertainment Film and Television, but she is really not the first sister of the company. Wang Xiang usually talks about it in Orange Entertainment Film and Television. She doesn't even care about the first sister, let alone Zhang Anluo, who has never acted in a big heroine

Wang Xiang has won too many popular actors, and she still maintains good contact with many artists who have left the company. Zhang Anluo is really not ranked in front of the boss.

"I'll first ask her what she's been up to lately..." Chu Qiuyi edited the message, and then smiled with satisfaction, "Oh, she's back, she's back quite fast!"

Seeing Chu Qiuyi making an offer to the boss, Zhang Anluo felt suffocated and panicked, "Sister Qiuyi, this is not good..."

Zhang Anluo: If the boss comes to meet me today, I will be useless in the company in the future!

Zhang Anluo can imagine the scene of Wang Xiang's appearance, she will immediately become the bottom of the food chain, and she can't wait to serve tea and water to everyone. Chen Yanping is someone from the platform anyway, and Wang Xiang should be polite to her. Chu Xiaxing and Chu Qiuyi have a close relationship, so Zhang Anluo is left as a wage earner

The team staff also had expressions of resistance on their faces, and they obviously didn't want to collide with President Wang directly, and all looked here uneasy and fearful. Wang Xiang's temper is quite large, and he can pick out faults, and he is very good at rectifying people.

Chu Xiaxing saw that Zhang Anluo's face was pale and frightened, and she knew that the little actor did not dare to do anything more, she sang a red face: "Okay, people are busy with something, but you call people out to eat every day?"

Chu Qiuyi was not convinced: "There are so many people who want to eat with me, so you don't appreciate it at all!"

Chu Xiaxing: "Don't make trouble, if you call out other people's bosses, then they can still eat. Who wants to eat with the boss? That's not indigestion?"

Chen Yanping smiled and echoed: "Yeah, it's weird, it's just a private chat."

When Chu Qiuyi heard the words, she glanced at Zhang Anluo who was in a panic, and then looked at the worried and shrinking staff next door, and then gave in softly: "Well, I told her to make an appointment for another day, when you don't talk about things. "

Chu Xiaxing nodded and said, "This is a bit sensible."

Chen Yanping looked at Chu Xiaxing, she was amused: "I think you are more like a sister!"

Although from the outside, Chu Qiuyi is more mature and charming, but Chu Xiaxing's tone is a little bit of Chu Qiuyi's meaning, forming a strange contrast.

Chu Qiuyi leaned on Chu Xiaxing's shoulder like a boneless, and said in a delicate tone, "Then let her be my sister, she has to spoil me."

Chu Xiaxing: "... Vomit."

Chu Qiuyi said angrily, "What is your reaction!?"

After a while, everyone happily finished their meal (except Zhang Anluo), and Chu Xiaxing finally drove Chu Qiuyi away. She said slowly, "Okay, let's talk about work, just a little episode."

Chen Yanping said sincerely: "It's interesting to be your sister!"

Chu Xiaxing: "Don't pay attention to her, she has always been like this, and today is also a coincidence..."

Chen Yanping took out the script, talked about the project process, and asked, "An Luo, do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Anluo is a little weak now. She is like a deflated balloon that has been punctured, and she can't lift herself up. When she heard Chen Yanping's voice, she came back to her senses, and hurriedly said politely: "I can do it! I'll see the director's arrangement. What does Director Chu think is suitable?"

Zhang Anluo was worthy of being an actress, her attitude was simply a Sichuan opera-style face change, and she immediately respected Chu Xiaxing. Although the two are about the same age, the social circles are not the same. Zhang Anluo is still a little brainy and no longer dares to complain about "The Great Song Xianyi".

Chu Xiaxing raised his eyebrows and said, "That means try makeup, make up, and read the script any day?"

Zhang Anluo said respectfully: "Well, you can just set the time, it should be fine in the near future..."

Chu Xiaxing was not polite, she nodded clearly: "Okay, then you wait for the notice."

After Zhang Anluo and her team left, Chen Yanping finally burst into schadenfreude, and couldn't help clapping her hands in admiration: "Oh my God, this is the first time I saw her being so humble, you don't know how I met her when I first met her. scene!"

Chen Yanping had never seen Zhang Anluo so humble. The other party was obviously afraid that Chu Xiaxing would find her boss, and the way of communication became smoother.

Chu Xiaxing: "This fully proves that there is nothing wrong with being a snob. No matter how bad she is, she will judge the situation at the right time, and she still has brains."

Chen Yanping tentatively said, "Are you really going to ask Wang Xiang to replace her? That would make it difficult for me to do well on the platform."

The main creators have some friction in private, and it is all confrontation in the dark. If it is on the bright side, it will be too ugly. Producer Chen Yanping has to coordinate the main creative team. Zhang Anluo was an actor appointed by the high-level executives, but was finally replaced by the boss of Orange Entertainment, which would also make the above leaders have ideas and feel that Chen Yanping had too many things to do.

Chu Xiaxing laughed and said, "How is that possible? She doesn't want to act in this play yet, can I easily make her do so?"

If Chu Xiaxing replaced Zhang Anluo, it would not be her wish, and the other party also felt that "The Great Song Xianyi" was risky, and that the other actors were not good enough to be worthy of him.

Chu Xiaxing's expression was calm: "I'm not a chef who hates raw materials. I can cook delicious food with any ingredients. I not only want her to act in this play, but also make her feel uncomfortable in the crew, and force her to do everything in her power to be good. play."

Chu Xiaxing didn't come to make friends with Zhang Anluo, she only needed to squeeze out all of the other party's abilities. That was the director's ability. She looked down at the script and asked, "Is there any other actors appointed by the platform? We will do the rest of the casting?"

Chen Yanping: "There are recommended candidates for the male lead, but the supporting roles are more free."

Chu Xiaxing: "Okay, I have some thoughts on the second girl."

The heroine of "The Great Song Dynasty Immortal Doctor" is an honest and kind-hearted person who saves the dying. In fact, there is not much room to play. Basically, she is the standard protagonist of a costume drama. The female No. 2 is a black-bellied and scheming femme fatale. Her reversal before and after is quite large, and what she has done is hated, but in fact, the character arc is very clear and easier to remember.

Chen Yanping glanced at the script and muttered: "But the second female lead is expected to be scolded very hard. Now the audience watching the drama can't stand this kind of character at all, and the actor's future acting career will be limited..."

Some actors do not like to play villains, mainly because the audience will project their emotions to real people, and their future development will be affected, so they all like to take on lovable roles.

Chu Xiaxing said calmly: "No, I can stand it. Everyone looks at their faces, and the three views follow the five senses."

Chen Yanping: "?"

On the day of the makeup trial, Zhou Xuelu walked in the building blankly. She looked at the staff who were walking in a hurry, and followed the news on her mobile phone to find the room that Chu Xiaxing said. The people in the makeup team were pushing the roller hangers, and they were busy passing by Zhou Xuelu, but they couldn't help but stop to look at each other.

"It's pretty good, which actor is this?"

"I haven't seen it before, I'll ask the casting director..."

The makeup team was secretly discussing that today was the makeup trial of the "Da Song Xianyi" crew, and there were many actors in the building.

Zhou Xuelu arrived at the room as promised. She looked at Chu Xiaxing who was reading the script in the room, and exclaimed, "So you are really filming? I thought you were playing with me."

Chu Xiaxing said lazily, "You thought it was a joke and you called me. Do you want to play with me?"

Zhou Xuelu had never been on the set. She was a little uneasy at this time, and said weakly: "...Can I really be an actor? I have never acted."

Chu Xiaxing's wording also has room: "You follow them to try makeup first, and I can confirm after seeing your appearance."

Zhou Xuelu is now feeling novel about everything on the set. She obediently follows the makeup team to try on makeup and change clothes, waiting for them to do her period hairstyles, looking at the clothes around her with bright eyes.

While trying on her makeup, the makeup artist repeatedly praised: "Your hair is really good, and your skin is also very good. What foundation do you usually use? I'll just give you a little concealer..."

Makeup artists usually only flatter high-profile actors, but Zhou Xuelu's foundation is really good. In their minds, "good foundation = less workload", and they are naturally happy.

Zhou Xuelu just wanted to hear the affirmation of her appearance from outsiders, otherwise Chu Xiaxing wouldn't have been so angry last time, she said hypocritically and humbly: "It's okay, I think your makeup skills are good..."

The two began to brag about each other in business, which is simply an official and routine.

It didn't take long for Zhou Xuelu's appearance to make the dressing room exclaimed, and she was directly taken away by the photographer to take two makeup test photos to see if there were any flaws in the photo.

Zhang Anluo is the female lead. She has already completed the makeup test a few days ago, and today is discussing the adjustment of the makeup details. She soon heard the news about the dressing room next door. At first, she felt that the crew was making a fuss, and even the unknown actors were praised, but after she peeked at Zhou Xuelu's photo, she couldn't sit still.

In the conference room, Zhang Anluo hurriedly came to find Chu Xiaxing, she just wanted to express her dissatisfaction loudly, and she thought about Director Chu's tough backstage, and then she pressed her temper: "Director, I don't think it's good for the second female lead. ?"

Zhang Anluo: If I were in the same frame with her, wouldn't I be cannon fodder!

Chu Xia Xing pretended to be stupid and said: "What? What does it look like?"

Zhang Anluo couldn't find a good adjective for a while, so he stumbled and said, "Don't you think she... a little too eye-catching?"

Chu Xiaxing said decisively: "How come! She looks ordinary, and she has never acted in any drama, she is not as good as you!"

Zhang Anluo: "..."
