The film "Living with a Star" is a script personally written by Director An for Qin Si Xuan, depicting a love story between a third-rate celebrity and a roughneck.
For Lin Fan and Qin Si Xuan, this was pretty much like playing themselves. After all, Qin Si Xuan is already a star and can completely handle the role, while Lin Fan, being a top-tier world thug, finds playing a roughneck a breeze!
According to the plot, Lin Fan's character "Chen Long" and Qin Si Xuan's character "Qin Xiaoxuan" meet at a friend's wedding. "Qin Xiaoxuan" is the groom's first love.
The groom, drunk, suddenly confesses to "Qin Xiaoxuan," inciting the bride's family to anger and putting "Qin Xiaoxuan" at risk.
Lin Fan steps forward to save "Qin Xiaoxuan's" life. To thank him, "Qin Xiaoxuan" wants to invite Lin Fan out for a meal. Lin Fan chooses a little street stall, they chat happily and drink a lot, and then ***** the story unfolds from here!
Qin Si Xuan isn't exactly obscure in Hong Kong either. Upon arrival at the filming location, she was greeted by a group of journalists with long and short lenses blocking the entrance, and many fans waving posters of Qin Si Xuan and cheering loudly!
Qin Si Xuan was dressed in a black evening gown, with a modest low-cut neckline embracing a pair of full curves and a deep cleavage. Her exquisitely carved beauty paired with a goddess-like aura resembled an angel fallen from heaven, breathlessly beautiful!
Excited screams erupted from the surrounding fans instantly, and the journalists went wild taking photos of Qin Si Xuan, the flashes were glaringly bright. Some even snapped photos of Lin Fan, who cockily posed for the cameras.
"Who is this guy? I'm not even shooting him, why is he posing?" a curious journalist said.
"I heard he's the male lead in this movie, just a nobody without fame, but to have the luck of filming under Director An and acting alongside Qin Si Xuan, his luck isn't ordinary at all."
"Let's just shoot Qin Si Xuan, shooting him has no value."
A group of journalists whispered among themselves, luckily Lin Fan didn't hear them, otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to teach them a lesson. Damn it, how come I'm not famous? Go inquire in the Dark Realm, who doesn't know me?
"Miss Qin..."
Just as Lin Fan and Qin Si Xuan walked into the filming hotel, a pleasant laughter suddenly sounded behind them, a beautiful woman walked over!
This woman was Li Li, also a well-known star in Hong Kong, playing the second female lead in this film. Though fairly pretty, she paled in comparison to Qin Si Xuan, akin to a speck trying to compete with the sun and the moon!
"Hello Miss Li." Qin Si Xuan greeted politely.
"I've long heard that Miss Qin has natural beauty, seeing you today truly lives up to the name. Acting alongside Miss Qin, I'm uncertain if I should call it my luck or a tragedy. Miss Qin is so beautiful, have you ever been to South Korea?" Li Li asked with a "friendly" smile.
Qin Si Xuan furrowed her brows; Li Li's words were indeed nasty. If word of it spread, many might start questioning Qin Si Xuan, which could greatly affect her career!
"Sorry, I'm all natural." Qin Si Xuan responded blandly.
Upon hearing this, a cold laugh resounded in Li Li's heart. This mainland girl is truly impolite. Just because I praised you, do you really think you're as pretty as a fairy?
Hmph! Mainland girls are truly ignorant!
Li Li then glanced at Lin Fan, an unknown newcomer whom she didn't take seriously, and indifferently said, "So you must be our male lead? Young man, it's your first time acting, make sure you do it well, don't ruin Director An's reputation."
"Don't worry, I've been studying the script and acting consistently, ensuring nothing goes wrong! According to the script, we're enemies, and in the end, I discover your greedy corruption and send you to prison."
Lin Fan said with a faint smile. He's not one to suffer losses. If someone doesn't show him respect, he always reciprocates two-fold!
Upon hearing this, Li Li's face darkened instantly.
In the entertainment industry, it's highly frowned upon to discuss an actor's roles from movies in real life, especially those playing villainous characters. It can easily tarnish a star's reputation!
Indeed, Li Li's expression grew noticeably colder, warning sternly, "Young man, this is the Hong Kong film industry, not the mainland, watch your words."
"Oh? Rules? Oh dear Miss Li, I'm really sorry, I am a green newcomer and quite unaware of these rules, please don't mind me." Lin Fan pretended to apologize.
"What did you call me—Miss Li?" Li Li responded in a cold voice.
"Eh? Aren't you Miss Li? I heard you should be around forty years old, right?" Lin Fan feigned surprise.
Li Li's face immediately chilled. Nothing is more taboo for a woman than revealing her age, dare to do so and face the consequences, especially a star!
"That's enough, everyone go inside," Director An waved dismissively.
Li Li snorted coldly, glared fiercely at Lin Fan, and turned to enter first!
Qin Si Xuan tugged at Lin Fan's arm, whispering, "The entertainment industry has many rules, especially in Hong Kong, always speak ambiguously."
"Whether there are rules or not is none of my business. I came here to act, not to follow these rules. If that woman looks down on us, we don't need to give her face. Reciprocal courtesy is my fine virtue," Lin Fan shrugged.
"Rumor has it that Li Li has someone backing her; no one has dared to offend her all these years, better to be cautious." Qin Si Xuan advised.
"If she plays tricks, I don't mind accompanying her to the end," Lin Fan grinned, turning to walk inside the filming hotel.
Watching Lin Fan's relaxed demeanor, several curious glints flashed in Qin Si Xuan's eyes. She couldn't fathom where this guy garnered such confidence, seemingly fearless of everything!
...
Meanwhile, upon entering the filming hotel, Li Li headed straight for the props room.
Hong Kong locals generally look down on mainlanders, including celebrities. Moreover, Li Li is a top-tier A-list star but is cast as a supporting role alongside Qin Si Xuan, naturally breeding discontent. Having just suffered humiliation from Lin Fan, her face was filled with icy malice.
"Li," the props master stood up respectfully upon seeing Li Li.
Li Li nodded, crossed her legs in a rocking chair, pulled out a slim lady's cigarette, and put it in her mouth. The props master hurriedly lit it for her.
Li Li took a puff, said calmly, "Is the master's stuff ready?"
"All set."
The props master, not daring to delay, immediately brought out a brand-new liquefied gas cylinder from behind, and coldly stated, "I've modified this cylinder for the shoot. It explodes the moment it encounters fire."
"When the explosion scene is shot, that mainland boy will be nearest to the cylinder according to the script. By lighting it, we guarantee to blast that mainland boy to pieces."
"Very good! Two ignorant fools, today I'll make them pay a price."
Li Li's eyes flickered with a cold light, grabbing an envelope from her bag and handing it to the props master in front of her, "This is a reward from the master, once the job is done, you can flee."
"Thank you, Li and master." The props master eagerly received the envelope, checked the cash inside delightedly, and stuffed it into their pocket.
"Alright, take that prop up there now." Li Li waved her hand.
"Yes!"
The props master nodded, grabbing the gas cylinder and heading to the filming site!
