Chapter 553: Welcome Our Female Lead, Teacher Si (3)
Translator: _Min
Gu Zhinan, an esteemed actress with seven to eight years of experience in the television drama industry, was someone Meng Xue was willing to please as a junior in the field.
“I’ve also secured a web drama role for you; you’ll be the second lead,” Brother Zhou added. ‘You’ll be co-starring with the captain of D6, Chi Yu. You know him. Do you best to get rid of your idol side, and become a true actress.”
Chi YU was also top-tier among male idols.
The two had a following as a shipped couple.
The thought of being able to attack Si Fuqing while she was in set gave Meng Xue a rare good night’s sleep. Early the next day, she eagerly went to the “Crossing the Demon Realm” set.
Before filming a TV series, there’s usually a ceremonial ritual involving incense, offering prayers, and presenting a pig’s head as an offering. The crew was busy preparing, and Meng Xue, along with other actors, waited on the side.
She glanced around and didn’t see Si Fuqing, which somewhat relieved her.
If Si Fuqing were playing an important role, she would surely have arrived early.
“Are you Meng Xue?” Lin Wansu approached, removing her sunglasses. “You don’t like Si Fuqing either, do you?”
Meng Xue was taken aback by Lin Wansu’s straightforwardness and responded cautiously, “Miss Lin, Si Fuqing and I simply have some differences in habits, plus some unpleasantness due to our former agency.”
“You’re quite magnanimous then. Anyway, I really dislike her,” Lin Wansu scoffed. “She hasn’t arrived yet, and I don’t know what minor role she’s playing, but it’s definitely lower than your ranking.”
Lin Wansu was aware of the Lin family’s attitude towards Si Fuqing and was indeed afraid of directly confronting her.
A complaint to Lin Bojian from either Si Fuqing or Lin Jihuan would surely spell trouble for her.
But with Meng Xue present, Lin Wansu could just hide behind her, playing the fisherman watching the snipe and clam fight.
Meng Xue remained cautious, “The cast hasn’t been announced yet, so we don’t know what role she’s playing.”
“What role could she play?” Lin Wansu laughed. “The roles from female lead to
the fifth female lead are already decided. She can only play a minor role and probably won’t even show up for the start of filming.” This was indeed the reality.
Meng Xue smiled, “I’m honored to know Miss Lin.”
Lin Wansu, being from the influential Lin family of Sijiu City, was someone Meng Xue deemed important to be acquainted with.
Lin Wansu enjoyed Meng Xue’s flattery and openly, as well as subtly, taught Meng Xue how to target Si Fuqing.
Their conversation was very pleasant.
The site coordinator came over, and Meng Xue stopped him, “Has the esteemed
Teacher Gu not arrived yet?”
She remembered Brother Zhou’s advice to establish a good relationship with Gu Zhinan.
“Esteemed Teacher Gu? You mean Teacher Gu Zhinan?” the site coordinator paused, “She’s not on the actor list; of course, she won’t be coming.”
“Not on the list?” Meng Xue was stunned, “Then who’s the female lead? If she’s not playing the role, who is?”
The site coordinator was too busy to reply further and was quickly called away by the photography team.
Meng Xue pursed her lips, “Miss Lin, do you know who the female lead is?”
“Isn’t it Gu Zhinan?” Lin Wansu frowned, unconcerned, “Then it must be one of the other esteemed actresses. It can’t possibly be Si Fuqing, right? Oh, look, she’s here. Let’s go and say hello.”
Si Fuqing’s presence instantly dimmed the other actors’ shine.
Before Lin Wansu and Meng Xue could approach, the Celestial Master, played by the award-winning MO Yishan, quickly came forward to shake hands with Si Fuqing, “Teacher Si, hello, hello.”
“Come on, our female lead has arrived.. We can start filming,” the assistant director led a loud round of applause, “Let’s welcome Teacher Si!”
