The business director packed up and headed for the booked restaurant. There were only three of them, so they booked a private room. After the dishes were served, they discussed the second female lead and the third male lead who had been selected by them during today's audition.
Zhao Yixuan and He Suisui were the two most favored female second actors among all the auditioning actresses today. They happened to have chosen the same audition content. After watching both auditions, they found it difficult to make a decision for a while, so they asked Ying Yanluo, the original author of the novel.
"Yanluo, what do you think of these two?"
Ying Yanluo thought about it seriously and said, "I think it should be He Suisui."
Assistant Director Liu paused, "I thought you would favor Zhao Yixuan a little."
We all know that she just finished a drama "Spring Breeze", in which Zhao Yixuan was the female lead.
Ying Yanluo said: "Zhao Yixuan looks pure and sweet, while He Suisui is a little more charming. She is more suitable for the role of Xuanyu."
Director Shang also had a satisfied look on his face. It was obvious that he thought highly of He Suisui. So during this meal, several main creative staff members of "Penglai" except the female lead were decided.
Zhao Yixuan didn't get the audition, and Zheng Mei felt even more regretful than her.
"Work is work, and friendship is friendship." Zhao Yixuan advised her.
"Friendship?" Zheng Mei glanced at her. "If you could control your temper a little, maybe you would be able to have some friendship. With your current state, you don't know how many people you have offended." Zheng Mei felt a headache when she talked about this.
Zhao Yixuan knew she was in the wrong and didn't want to make her agent angry, so she simply kept silent.
The female lead candidate that had been in a stalemate at Rongguang was finally decided. It was Wei Shu, the mainstay of their company. Ying Yanluo actually knew Wei Shu, but Ye Shutong had never mentioned it to her. They were actresses of the same type before, with charming and direct beauty on their faces. The two teams had not competed for resources before, and it was only after Ye Shutong won the title of Best Actress that she was left far behind.
After Rongguang decided on the female lead, Director Shang called a short meeting with the rest of us, and it was obvious that this meeting was specifically aimed at Wei Shu.
Director Shang was a little worried. Although this was his first time working with Wei Su, many of his old friends had worked with her before. To be honest, Wei Su's acting skills were not bad, otherwise she would not have become a popular actress with good acting skills. However, her work attitude in private was not very good. She had never acted like a big shot. What she was more famous for was her modification of the play. The most exaggerated play was that she actually brought six screenwriters to make various modifications.
The director had no authority at all and could not control her, so he could only let her make changes. In the end, he did not expect that the play adapted by her and the other six screenwriters would become a hit drama that summer, which made her a star with outstanding acting skills. The drama also made a lot of profits, so this encouraged her to make changes to the drama.
Although one is the director of "Penglai" and the other is the original author of "Penglai", in the end the film and television copyright of "Penglai" is still in the hands of Yuyi.
This meeting didn't come to a conclusion in the end. We can only wait and see Wei Su's work attitude after the meeting. After all, it was not easy for the capital behind her to get her this role, so she shouldn't act rashly.
Ying Yanluo also told Ye Shutong about this.
Ye Shutong was not surprised at all. After all, she could almost be said to be sharing a team with Xie Zhun now. They knew each other's resources. She heard a few days ago that Wei Shu and Jiang Wan were both vying for the position from Rongguang, but it was obvious that Wei Shu had a greater chance, and now it turned out to be true.
Ye Shutong has long passed the age where she can't distinguish between the crew and reality. Nowadays, they not only represent themselves, but also the complicated capital and interest systems behind them. So as for her boyfriend and her opponent wanting to star in her sisters' TV series together, if they can achieve a win-win cooperation, then she will still thank Wei Su as her opponent.
Su Weichu came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. She was still sitting on the sofa talking on the phone with Ye Shutong. He walked over and rubbed the top of her head from behind.
Ying Yanluo subconsciously looked up at her, and while listening to Ye Shutong's words on the other end, she asked silently, "Are you done washing?"
Su Weichu nodded, walked around her and opened his arms towards her.
Ying Yanluo immediately stood up and then leaned against him. She hooked one hand around his neck and talked to Ye Shutong on the phone with the other hand.
Su Weichu patted her butt and signaled her to squeeze it tighter.
Ying Yanluo was caught off guard by this slap and almost lost her grip, and at the same time she gasped and let out a "ah".
Suddenly, both sides were quiet.
Two seconds later, Ye Shutong's voice came over, "Fuck! Ying Yanluo, you are so powerful now!!"
Ying Yanluo quickly explained: "No, it's not what you think..."
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen! Have fun! Hang up!" After saying that, Ye Shutong didn't give her any chance to react and hung up the phone cleanly.
Ying Yan stretched out her hands and began to ravage the culprit's face. "It's all your fault. Ye Shutong misunderstood me."
Su Weichu let her ravage him, and just quickened his pace back to the room.
Ying Yanluo was pressed down on the soft bed, their breathing intertwined.
Su Weichu looked at the person under him with heavy eyes, "Yan Yan, we have been..."
Ying Yanluo knew what he was going to say. The filming of "Penglai" was about to start. She had been having meetings of all sizes with Director Shang these days, and was basically tired and dazed every night when she returned home. He felt sorry for her and had been holding it in. Today, he finally returned early, so she raised her hand and pressed the back of his neck, and took the initiative to offer her lips.
Su Weichu immediately and skillfully pried open her lips, looking for that soft, wet and hot tongue, entangled his lips with hers, and the sounds of sucking and swallowing were particularly clear in the silent room. He stared at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through her completely.
Ying Yanluo's breathing became disordered, her face and ears turned red, and even her tailbone felt numb after being kissed.
"Meow~" Suddenly a familiar cat's meow came from the end of the bed.
Ying Yanluo reached out and pushed the man's shoulder, panting, "The little nipple...it's broken."
Su Weichu turned a deaf ear and continued kissing her.
The little ball on the bed meowed again and then jumped onto the soft bed with its legs. It opened its beautiful big eyes, tilted its head, and looked at us.
This gaze is so strong that it is hard to ignore.
Ying Yanluo pinched him and tilted her head to avoid his lips, "No, little milk ball is..." Although it was a cat, she still couldn't turn a blind eye, mainly because this little fat cat was a spirit! !
Su Weichu groaned, held her head still, bit her lower lip, then turned over and picked up the little baby who was sitting on their bed and watching the fun. The little baby seemed to be aware of something, twisting its chubby body in dissatisfaction and meowing.
Su Weichu threw Milk Ball out of the bedroom unmoved, and Milk Ball immediately turned around and tried to go back into the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, Su Weichu was prepared. He opened a small gap before throwing it out and closed the door without hesitation.
The little kid almost banged his head against the door, and scratched it angrily while meowing.
Su Weichu walked back and said, "If you scratch again, I'll cut off all your nails tomorrow!"
Ying Yanluo was lying on the bed listening to what Xiaoxiao said. She couldn't help but scolded him. This guy was so childish that he even quarreled with a cat.
Su Weichu leaned over to her in the same position as hers and kissed her face, "What?"
Ying Yanluo struggled a bit, "Please hold it back a bit, it's quite heavy."
Su Weichu obediently retracted his gaze and began to kiss her neck and half-exposed shoulders.
"You're about to regroup, so don't leave any traces in obvious places," she reminded him.
"Then leave traces in obvious places. I don't care."
Ying Yanluo was delighted, half raised her body and bit her Adam's apple.
…
Two days later, Ying Yanluo brought Zhao Ranran to form a team.
There are six main creators of "Penglai".
Xie Zhun and Zhou Suian from Entertainment, Wei Shu and Shen Fu from Glory, He Suisui from Tianle and Cheng Keyuan from Xincheng.
After the group was formed, there was a week of reading, learning etiquette, martial arts...
After arriving in Hengdian, Ying Yanluo first called Su Weichu to report safety, and then had lunch with Director Shang and others. During the meal, Director Shang asked Deputy Director Liu how many main creative staff members there were at present.
Assistant Director Liu checked WeChat and said, "Zhou Suian and Shen Fu are gone. He Suisui and Cheng Keyuan just got off the plane. Xie Zhun said he's already on the plane. As for Wei Shu..." Assistant Director Liu hesitated and continued, "No contact."
Director Shang sighed, and didn't seem that surprised.
Ying Yanluo also frowned unconsciously.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, "Penglai" held a meeting in the hotel's conference room.
When Ying Yanluo and the others were going out, they happened to run into Xie Zhun who had also just gone out. Their director team and the male and female protagonists all lived on this floor.
Xie Zhun was dressed casually in a black T-shirt, sweatpants, sneakers, and a baseball cap without makeup. Because he was familiar with Ying Yanluo, his face showed a lot of indifference as if he was not a stranger to her. He called her "Sister Ying", which is something she would only call her in private.
To be honest, Xie Zhun is only one year younger than Ying Yanluo, so they can just treat each other as peers. There is no need to call her sister. The reason why she calls her sister is because Ye Shutong asked her to. A sister's friend has to be called sister whether she wants to or not. She has been calling them that for several years and slowly got used to it.
Zhao Ranran was originally still immersed in wondering why Xie Zhun was so handsome without makeup, but the next second she was frightened by the call of "Sister Xiao Ying" and her eyes widened.
Little… Sister Ying? Instead of Teacher Ying? Or Teacher Luo Yan?
But Zhao Ranran was not stupid enough to ask anything at this time. Anyway, she was still confused when she followed them. She slowly glanced at Xie Zhun's assistant who was also following behind. Xie Zhun's assistant Ashu looked at her and nodded at her politely.
Zhao Ranran nodded habitually.
They walked towards the elevator together. When the elevator stopped, in order to avoid suspicion, Xie Zhun planned to let Ying Yanluo go first and he would take the next one. However, when the elevator door opened, Zhou Suian, Cheng Keyuan and their assistants were also in the elevator. They couldn't help but recognize Ying Yanluo and Xie Zhun.
The two big boys were originally talking, but the next second they stood up straight and called out politely: "Hello, Teacher Ying, Hello, Teacher Xie." After that, they stepped back towards the inside of the elevator, and the two assistants followed them.
Given the situation of Ying Yanluo and the others, we have no choice but to go. After all, we are all the same and there is no need to avoid any suspicion.
