Chapter 709 - 698: The Male Supporting Character’s Bai Yueguang
After eating the cake, the next part of the shooting was quite simple. Ye Qiu didn’t go out but just played games with Su Sui. The rapid dance of their fingers was a clear indication of the intense battle unfolding.
"Director, don’t you think today’s filming content is a bit monotonous?" a young planner who followed along asked with concern.
Head Director Sister Hua shook her head: "You don’t understand how popular this game is right now. Looking at the way things are, Ye Qiu is also quite skilled. It might just blow up when it airs."
"Director, not just quite skilled, she’s exceptionally skilled!" exclaimed the cameraman who had previously shouted, full of admiration, "These two are professionals in the game."
While speaking, he even gave a thumbs up: "I can guarantee, it will definitely be a hit."
Sister Hua thought today’s filming content was just that, but near the end, Ye Qiu gave them a surprise.
At six-thirty, the monster fell before them with a crash. Ye Qiu happily shut down the computer and then stood up to cook.
Su Sui didn’t say much and followed to help pick the vegetables, a tacit understanding that the two had developed over the past few days.
When Ye Qiu cooked, Su Sui would pick the vegetables, peel the garlic, and of course, he would wash the dishes after the meal because Ye Qiu, as a delicate artist, claimed that her hands shouldn’t be eroded by dishwashing liquid.
In fact, with today’s technology, who needs to wash dishes by hand? Is the dishwasher just there for decoration? Moreover, modern dishwashing liquids hardly damage the skin.
But if she acted spoiled, Su Sui was willing to indulge her. If it weren’t for Ye Qiu insisting on cooking herself, he would have been the one doing the cooking too.
"You know how to cook?" Head Director Sister Hua asked in surprise.
"Is it strange that I can cook?" Ye Qiu looked at the camera blankly, then suddenly realized and proudly said, "You must think that someone like me, an Eldest Lady, wouldn’t know how to cook! Hmph, I’m smart and learn things quickly. Cooking is very simple, so don’t underestimate us pampered folks."
After she finished speaking, she turned around with a proud look and began chopping vegetables efficiently. The cooked pork belly was sliced into thin pieces, the celery cut into sections, the green peppers diced, and she smashed a few garlic cloves that Su Sui had just peeled.
Today she planned to cook three dishes: Twice-cooked pork, scrambled eggs with green peppers, and seaweed egg soup. As long as the ingredients were prepared, these three dishes could be made very quickly, ready in half an hour.
"I didn’t prepare any food for you guys, so let’s end today’s filming here."
"Okay, thank you everyone for your hard work." Sister Hua instructed the crew to pack up and then said to Ye Qiu, "The trailer will be out at eight o’clock tonight, and the show will officially air next Friday evening. Miss Ye Qiu, please share it when you have time later."
"Don’t be so formal, just call me Ye Qiu from now on. I’ll walk you out."
A group of people went downstairs, then watched as Ye Qiu went back up. The young planner felt moved and said, "Sister Hua, Ye Qiu is quite easy-going, huh? How come there are so many people badmouthing her online?"
Sister Hua tapped her head and shook her head: "Isn’t that how it is in the entertainment industry? Small things are blown out of proportion. And how do you know Ye Qiu isn’t just putting on an act in front of us?"
"How could she act so convincingly? I can tell, although Ye Qiu is a bit spoiled, she’s not annoying at all," the young planner argued.
"Alright, let’s just keep it to ourselves, better not spread it and make things worse."
"Mhm, I know, a confidentiality agreement, right? Can’t go blabbering about anything I see or hear."
Ye Qiu returned upstairs where Su Sui had already prepared the meal, waiting for her to come back and eat together.
"How was it? My performance today was pretty good, wasn’t it!" Ye Qiu said with a smile, "Once those netizens see how great I am at gaming and cooking, they’re definitely going to like me."
"Yeah, they will," Su Sui replied in a deep voice. Though he said this, deep inside he didn’t want others to discover Ye Qiu’s charms.
Moreover, the footage of her gaming had already been shot. Would she still invite him to her house?
As Su Sui was feeling anxious, he heard Ye Qiu say, "What time are you coming over tomorrow? That person named Nameless Sword Fool is so annoying. Not only did he challenge me to a duel, but he also had someone hunt me down. So what if I stole his kill? It’s his own fault for not being fast enough, and now he’s blaming me. Hmph, if he dares to do it again, I’ll make sure he loses another level."
Ye Qiu was pouting with a look of anger on her cheeks, clearly very upset.
But Su Sui felt a surge of happiness; she had not abandoned him after all.
At 8 in the evening, "Floral Years" officially released its first trailer, premiering just before the prime time slot at 8 PM, broadcasted simultaneously on television and online.
After dinner, Su Sui didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he stayed to watch the trailer with Ye Qiu, ready to retort if anyone commented that she wasn’t pretty as per her request.
The first scene of the trailer was a vast sea of flowers, followed by the artistic shots of the four female celebrities amidst the floral sea.
The first to appear was one of the popular starlets, Cao Miaomiao. Cao Miaomiao made it to the top four starlets not because of her acting skills, but due to her appeal to the audience. Although she wasn’t particularly beautiful, her eyes were exceptionally bright, and her cheeks carried some baby fat – which, according to older people, signified cuteness and good fortune.
She earned the title of the nation’s "darling daughter" due to her various roles as daughters in major TV dramas since childhood.
However, her appeal could not broaden her range of roles. This year, she took part in another major historical drama as the female lead, and her acting skills were questioned by the audience, making her quite topical.
But no matter how lacking her acting was, with a national favorability, no one seriously criticized her, unlike Ye Qiu, where the first thing that came to people’s minds was her reputed arrogance.
Cao Miaomiao wore a pink short dress in the trailer, with her hair slightly curled. Baby hairs on the sides masked her baby fat, making her look like she had transformed into a mature woman.
The second person was Li Xingzi, whose popularity surpassed Cao Miaomiao at the moment. She was the winner of a hot singer talent show, and reportedly, she won the night of the finals by more than a hundred thousand votes over the second place, earning the title of Little Queen with her resounding voice.
Li Xingzi was also quite pretty, just with a somewhat big mouth. However, the edited photos still made her look stunning, skillfully hiding her flaws.
The third one was Ye Qiu, wearing a blue Princess Dress with a little crown on her head. As she walked through the flowers, her chin was slightly tilted up, the epitome of a spoiled little princess.
Su Sui watched without even blinking, swallowing hard as his breathing deepened.
"I knew I looked beautiful," Ye Qiu said with pride.
Seeing her like this, Su Sui wished he could hide her away where no one else could see her.
