The movie is a major production, a historical blockbuster about the beauty of this country. There were two veteran actors who had been Wen Nuan's idols since childhood. She did not expect to have such close contact with them. She watched their performances with admiration and studied the acting techniques.
Cheng Ying and Peng Yuming are veterans who have been famous for decades and have a high status in the entertainment industry. They are considered old actors. The main character in the movie is the popular and famous actress Bai Xiuwen, who also respects them.
Not to mention Wen Nuan.
As soon as they had time, Wen Nuan handed them their favorite drinks. The two men smiled at her. Wen Nuan was like she was falling in love for the first time. She was nervous and excited. Her face turned red and she even stuttered when she spoke.
"Is this your first time coming to work?" Cheng Ying asked with a smile.
Wen Nuan blushed, feeling nervous for quite a while, almost unable to speak due to stuttering. The two people smiled kindly, and Peng Yuming said, "Young lady, don't be nervous. You're a fan of ours, aren't you?"
Wen Nuan nodded heavily and said one word very loudly: "Yes!"
Her demeanor was like a student answering an instructor's question in military training, very serious and honest. It was break time and everyone there burst out laughing. Bai Xiuwen ridiculed Wen Nuan for being naive.
Wen Nuan's face became even redder, almost burning, and she banged her head in frustration. What a fool he was.
Cheng Ying and Peng Yuming exchanged a friendly smile and then started chatting with the other actors.
Wen Nuan had waited by the side until they were free. She asked for their signatures with great care and respect. They both signed for her immediately, and Wen Nuan was overjoyed.
"Are you an intern? You look so small." Cheng Ying asked casually.
Wen Nuan smiled and replied, "I'm a summer worker."
"High school student?"
Wen Nuan was a bit taken aback: "I am a student of A University."
Peng Yuming smiled: "A prestigious school."
Wen Nuan smiled shyly. Some young actors nearby also came over to chat with the two seniors. Wen Nuan didn't quite like them because they had just been harshly criticizing Chen Xueru, making sarcastic remarks.
She was also a popular idol drama actress from a couple of years ago, but later was sidelined due to a scandal involving being kept as a mistress. Wen Nuan had watched the idol dramas she acted in and thought her acting skills were excellent.
The current younger generation of actors generally lacks impressive acting skills, but there is one talented actor who has left a deep impression on her.
The people in the production crew are all very snobbish, from the actors to the little assistants, they all tend to flatter those above them and step on those below. She noticed Chen Xueru sitting alone in the distance, indifferent and ignoring others, while Bai Xiuwen was surrounded by attention like the moon among stars, and couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy.
She had heard a little about the sugar daddy scandal involving her a few years ago. It was reported briefly but was quickly overshadowed by other news. The darkness and depravity of the entertainment industry exceeded her imagination. Nowadays, there are countless actresses who rise to fame through unspoken rules. Chen Xueru must have offended someone to end up like this.
She seems to be an actress under Anning International.
"Here we have orange juice and grape juice. Which one would you like to drink?" Wen Nuan smiled and raised the juice in her hand.
Chen Xueru was lost in thought, then looked up and smiled: "Grape juice."
Wen Nuan gave him the juice. Chen Xueru smiled and thanked her, "Thank you. You've worked hard."
"Not at all, not at all..." Wen Nuan hurriedly shook her head, quite surprised. She was very polite, stunningly beautiful, yet had a gentle temperament. After she became famous a couple of years ago, many newspapers described her as a diva, arrogant, a queen, often slapping her assistant and such.
The entertainment section is indeed misleading.
Over the next few days, Wen Nuan and Chen Xueru became familiar with each other. She was the only person in the entire production crew who would greet Chen Xueru. This left a good impression on Chen Xueru, who found Wen Nuan to be kind and approachable.
Wen Nuan think that Chen Xueru's temperament is really gentle, but he's not a meek persimmon that can be bullied by anyone.
On the same set, Bai Xiuwen, who played the female lead in the drama, provoked Chen Xueru from time to time, but Chen Xueru treated her like air and basically ignored her. When Wen Nuan asked her why she tolerates it, Chen Xueru replied that when she became famous, Bai Xiuwen was still an unknown.
Chen Xueru smiled and said, "That's how the entertainment industry is. You just have to get used to it. I rely on it for a living, so I have to endure it."
This sentence, after experiencing great ups and downs, resonates deeply with Wen Nuan.
Director Lin was filming a s*x scene between the male and female leads. It was a very beautiful scene, but very difficult to pull off. After taking it four times he still wasn't satisfied. Director Lin was very unhappy and felt gloomy.
He scolded Bai Xiuwen several times.
One of the young actors gossiped near Wen Nuan and Chen Xueru: "Even top actresses get called idiots by directors. If she hadn't climbed into Ye Ershao's bed, who knows where she'd be now."
"Yes, I've read the reports. She was rumored to be involved with Ye Ershao's," one of the young actors gossiped.
Wen Nuan pursed her lips; the "Ye Ershao's" they were referring to was Ye Feimo.
Ye Feimo is the third in line, with an older brother and sister. He should have been called "Ye San Shao" (Third Young Master Ye). However, his father, Ye Chen, is also the third in line and is referred to as "Ye San Shao." Additionally, his sister Ye Hailan passed away at a young age. To differentiate, the media refers to him as "Ye Er Shao" (Second Young Master Ye).
