Chapter 711 - 700: The Male Lead’s Bai Yueguang
On the other end, Chu Weiwei heard Ye Qiu’s voice and fell silent for a moment before maintaining her proper upbringing and softly said, "I’m at the film studio park."
"Film studio park? Are you shooting a movie? Can I go in?" Ye Qiu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"The show crew has already notified us, the director said it’s okay."
"Oh, then I’ll come over in a bit." Ye Qiu lingered for a while before adding, "By the way, how many people are in your shooting crew?"
"What do you need that information for?"
Ye Qiu huffed lightly, "I’m coming for a set visit, shouldn’t I bring some drinks and stuff? Wouldn’t it be stingy of me not to?"
"That’s really not necessary."
"It’s a must, oh come on, just tell me, it’s not like you’re paying, why all the fuss?" Ye Qiu said impatiently.
Chu Weiwei took a deep breath, if she had a choice, she would rather not have Eldest Lady Ye Qiu come for a set visit, "We have about forty people here."
"So few? Okay, got it." Ye Qiu didn’t wait for Chu Weiwei to say more and hung up the phone very capriciously.
Chu Weiwei looked at the phone somewhat speechless, frowning as she considered how to handle the Eldest Lady later.
"What’s wrong?" Seeing her worried look, Jiang Yao, who had just finished a scene, came over and asked.
"It’s nothing, just that Ye Qiu will be coming for a set visit soon." Chu Weiwei shrugged, figuring she’d deal with whatever comes her way; surely Ye Qiu wouldn’t dare to curse or hit anyone in front of the show crew, right?
"Her?" Jiang Yao frowned upon hearing this, "Is it the variety show you’re shooting together?"
"Yeah." Chu Weiwei did not notice Jiang Yao’s mood, nodded casually, and then looked at him, "Didn’t you finish today’s shooting task, Teacher Jiang? Why haven’t you left yet?"
Jiang Yao sat down with a poker face, looking very serious, "Oh, I’ve arranged with the director to discuss a scene later, and since I have nothing else today, I figured I’d wait."
Famous Director Elder Chen gave him a sidelong glance and mumbled to himself: Liking someone and not daring to confess, why drag this old man into it?
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu brought the show crew to a pastry shop. As there was no time for a custom order, she simply bought out all the desserts in the store. Looking at the expensive bill, Sister Hua was inwardly puzzled; wasn’t Ye Qiu not fond of Chu Weiwei? Why then buy such expensive stuff?
Right after, they headed to the milk tea shop next door and packed an impressive seventy cups of milk tea.
"Didn’t Chu Weiwei say they only have forty-something people? Isn’t buying so much a waste?" Sister Hua asked Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu glanced at her sideways, "Aren’t you all human beings?"
Although her tone wasn’t nice, Sister Hua felt touched deep down at the moment, finding it a bit amusing at the same time. It was clear she was considerate, yet she had such an arrogant air, giving as if bestowing a favor. Sister Hua couldn’t help but wonder how Ye Qiu’s personality came to be like this.
If she hadn’t been so blunt, if she could have shown a better attitude when being thoughtful, perhaps she would have been very likable and gained a lot of fans, right? After all, how many people don’t like a beautiful young lady?
Thanks to the show crew clearing the way, after purchasing everything, Ye Qiu and her group made their way to the film studio park without any obstructions and smoothly entered the set where Chu Weiwei was.
At this moment, Chu Weiwei was shooting a scene. She was dressed in a long black robe, her hair neatly coiled up, secured with just a single special hairpin, her gaze imposing as she looked down at everyone, like a queen.
"This... This is..." Ye Qiu’s eyes widened in surprise, "Are you shooting ’Immortal Palace’?"
Ye Qiu’s voice was very soft and did not disrupt the shooting, but Jiang Yao, who was always attentive to the set, saw her and then frowned slightly.
"Dream Demon, you have some nerve!" The witch, portrayed by Chu Weiwei, had a sharp look in her eyes as she raised her hand and made a gesture.
Then, the actor playing the Dream Demon showed a pained expression on their face, followed by the director calling "Cut!"
Ye Qiu knew that next, the Dream Demon was supposed to vanish into thin air, because he had used a Secret Technique to enter the dreams of Guang Si Immortal, stirring up the Heart Demon that had been suppressed within him for a thousand years.
That Heart Demon was none other than the witch played by Chu Weiwei, who was once the disciple of Guang Si Immortal, Fairy Yanhua.
This drama is called "Immortal Palace," telling the story of the love and hatred between an Immortal Monarch and a witch, while also depicting the irreconcilable differences between immortals and demons.
The script was adapted from a hugely popular novel, and when it was announced that the role of Guang Si Immortal would be played by the famous actor Jiang Yao and the witch by the up-and-coming starlet Chu Weiwei, the internet went into a frenzy.
It was also at this time that Ye Qiu publicly criticized Chu Weiwei as not fit for the role of the witch, thereby attracting a lot of backlash.
"Senior Jiang!" At this moment, Ye Qiu also saw Jiang Yao, excitedly running towards him, paying no attention to Chu Weiwei who was about to greet her.
"Mm," Jiang Yao responded coldly, nodding at her before turning to look gently at Chu Weiwei, "Well played."
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Jiang," Chu Weiwei replied with a gentle smile.
"Senior Jiang thinks Chu Weiwei did a good job?" Ye Qiu pouted.
"Indeed, her acting is much better than some who are completely lacking in self-awareness," Jiang Yao said sarcastically.
The people around tensed up, but Ye Qiu seemed not to understand, "Alright, if Senior Jiang thinks Chu Weiwei did a good job, then she probably did."
She snorted lightly, then beamed again, "Senior Jiang, I really like you, can we take a photo together?"
"It’s inconvenient in costume," Jiang Yao refused righteously.
"Oh," Ye Qiu looked a bit disappointed, then put on a smile again, "Could you give me an autograph then?"
Jiang Yao took a deep breath. How could she not read the room? Couldn’t she see that he was annoyed with her?
"I don’t want to sign an autograph either."
Hmph! Picking on his dearest Weiwei, and now she wants to be associated with him for trending online? She wishes!
Indeed, this was what Jiang Yao was thinking at the moment, believing that Ye Qiu was deliberately getting close to him because he had heard more than once about her confessing her likings for him in public.
He belonged to Weiwei, and wouldn’t give any other woman a chance to get close.
Especially this Ye Qiu, who dared to slander his Weiwei. It was already generous of him not to openly scold her, and yet she dared to approach him? No way!
"Well then!" Ye Qiu lowered her head in disappointment, then spoke tentatively, "Senior Jiang, I bought some desserts and milk tea, would you like to try? They’re really good."
"I am on a diet recently," Jiang Yao refused again, but looked away, inexplicably feeling a bit guilty for bullying a young girl.
"Dieting?" Ye Qiu pursed her lips, perhaps a bit saddened, and slowly began to walk away, "Then I won’t bother you any further, Senior Jiang, please rest well."
"Here, take this, you eat it!" Ye Qiu moved next to Chu Weiwei, taking the desserts and milk tea from her assistant, "For you."
Chu Weiwei accepted with good nature, feeling somewhat speechless on the inside. Did it have to be such a different treatment? Who exactly was she here to visit?
