Chapter 125: Filming
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At that time, fans were very angry, but the management company didn’t take any action. Xu Zhi was just a newcomer in the industry, and the fans knew that there was little they could do about it, so they had to let it go.
Zhao Nan wondered if Wang Da’s anger was related to this incident.
On the other hand, Xia Xin had also been taken to the film set by Sun Hu at the agreed-upon time. On the way there, Xia Xin asked Sun Hu, “The male supporting role hasn’t been decided yet, so why are they starting filming so early?”
Sun Hu explained, “Even though the male supporting role hasn’t been decided, we can start filming your scenes first. This is quite common in the entertainment industry. When the time comes, we can easily find a free actor from the studio to fill in.
Sun Hu then asked Xia Xin, “Have you seen the scenes you’re filming today?” Xia Xin nodded.
Perhaps intentionally, the first scene she was to shoot involved MO Shu fainting from a fever and being supported by Xia Xin. It was almost identical to the scene on the street when Xia Xin helped MO Shu.
Sun Hu brought Xia Xin to the film set and reminded her, “Because of the recent scandal and the lack of clarification from your side, many fans will be present to watch this scene today. There will also be a lot of news leaking after this scene, so your goal is to make your relationship with MO Shu look extremely ambiguous like you’re in the honeymoon phase of a relationship.”
Xia Xin didn’t quite understand and asked, “But won’t fans assume we have a real relationship if we do that?”
Sun Hu explained, “That’s exactly what we want. You don’t fully understand fans. As long as there’s no concrete evidence, they can continue to imagine that MO Shu is single and deny your relationship. Meanwhile, fans who support you as a couple will believe that something is going on between you two, and the frenzy in the fan circles will boost your popularity. Remember, it’s the subtle clues that drive fans crazy.”
Xia Xin nodded, half-comprehending.
Upon arriving at the set, MO Shu, who saw Xia Xin first, apologized, “I’m very sorry that you got caught up in a scandal because of helping me.”
Xia Xin replied, “It’s okay. You’ve also helped me before. Accidents happen, and now we’re friends. There’s no need to dwell on these things.”
MO Shu hesitated for a moment before asking, “I remember that before I completely lost consciousness, I was at the hotel room door. I fell to the ground. But why was I already in bed when I woke up? You shouldn’t have been strong enough to carry me over, right?”
‘Oh no!’ Xia Xin suddenly realized. She hadn’t expected MO Shu to remember so much, and she hadn’t prepared a good excuse. In her panic, she fabricated a hasty response, “I happened to run into the cleaning lady. She was tidying up the room, so I asked her to help me carry you to the bed.”
MO Shu was somewhat skeptical. He faintly remembered that someone had carried him, but he didn’t press further and went to discuss his schedule with the director.
Originally, the director of the web series didn’t want Xia Xin as the female lead, but due to her association with Stellar Entertainment, he reluctantly agreed.
The director had expected Xia Xin, a newcomer from the internet world, to make mistakes during filming. However, after the first scene, where Xia Xin acted very naturally and got it done in one take, albeit not perfectly, the director was quite satisfied.
After shooting MO Shu’s scenes and interacting with fans, MO Shu disappeared again, leaving only his assistant, Li Xiang, to handle business on the set.
Sun Hu reminded Xia Xin, “Since you don’t have much to do right now and I have other matters to attend to, you should stay on the set. If you have any questions, just give me a call. Remember, you’re a celebrity now. Be careful with everything, don’t show up casually, and if you go out, be discreet. This is a film studio, and if you want to go shopping nearby, make sure to conceal your identity.”
Xia Xin nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I got it.”
The film set could be quite boring at times, especially when Xia Xin didn’t know anyone, and the only person she knew, MO Shu, disappeared whenever he didn’t have scenes to shoot. As a result, Xia Xin became quite bored, and gradually, she formed a close bond with Li Xiang.
Li Xiang had just graduated from university, with short and neat hair, mostly dressed in workwear-style outfits. She had an outgoing personality, much like a tomboy. They chatted and got along very well..
