Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 215 Sending Su Cheng to the Crew
"orange?"
Yuan Xudong looked at the cute, naive and a little confused Su Cheng and smiled:
"It's a nice nickname, but I saw you were in a hurry before. Aren't you going to buy milk tea and coffee now?"
"ah!"
Covering his mouth and exclaiming, Su Cheng slightly widened his eyes and said:
"Oh my god, I almost forgot, please wait here for me, I'll be right back, please!"
Looking at Su Cheng who put his hands together and wanted him to help watch the snacks, Yuan Xudong smiled and said softly:
"Go ahead, don't worry, I'll be waiting for you!"
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan!"
After bowing and thanking her, Su Cheng hurriedly ran to the nearby shopping mall. After she left, Yuan Xudong looked at Xia Weijun who was not far away and called him to come over to help deal with the garbage and snacks. He threw the overturned coffee and milk tea cups into the trash can and moved the remaining snacks into the car. Yuan Xudong looked at Xia Weijun and smiled:
"Okay, Lao Xia, I'll just wait here, you go back to the car first!"
"Okay, Mr. Yuan!"
Yuan Xudong stood there waiting for a while. About ten minutes later, Su Cheng came out of the mall carrying two large bags of coffee and milk tea. She walked to Yuan Xudong and saw that there was nothing around him. The snacks she had bought before were missing. She couldn't help but said in confusion:
"Mr. Yuan, where are my snacks?"
"In my car!"
Taking the coffee and milk tea from Su Cheng, Yuan Xudong looked at her and smiled:
"I have nothing to do today, so I'll just help people to the end. Where do you want to go? I'll give you a ride."
"No, no, you've already helped me a lot, how can I do this?"
After that, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to say anything, Su Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, thinking of the little living expenses he had left:
"I'm going to Chedun Film and Television City. If you're going that way, can you give me a ride? Is that on your way?"
"Not on the way!"
"That's fine, I can..."
Before Su Cheng could finish, Yuan Xudong changed the subject and said with a smile:
"Listen to me. I have nothing to do today, so I'm going to Chedun Film and Television City to see how other people shoot movies. Maybe I can even meet some big stars. Can I give you a ride now?"
"Oh well!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong insisted on sending him to Chedun Film and Television City, Su Cheng said a little embarrassedly:
"Mr. Yuan, thank you!"
"You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake!"
After that, Yuan Xudong led Su Cheng to the Maybach not far away and said with a smile:
"Let's go, it's just ahead!"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, Su Cheng followed Yuan Xudong with her shoulder bag slung over her shoulder and her hands on the shoulder straps. When they arrived in front of the six-meter-long Maybach Pullman, Xia Weijun quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Yuan Xudong and Su Cheng, saying respectfully:
"Mr. Yuan, you're back!"
Seeing that Xia Weijun wanted to give him some momentum to pick up girls, Yuan Xudong said with a little embarrassment:
"Well, let's go to Chedun Film and Television City!"
"Okay, Mr. Yuan!"
After Su Cheng got into the car and sat down, Yuan Xudong followed in and sat down next to her. Xia Weijun, who was standing outside the car, closed the door, walked into the cockpit from the other side, started the car, and started heading towards Chedun Film and Television City.
In the passenger compartment, Yuan Xudong put the coffee and milk tea in his hand on the coffee table. Looking at Su Cheng who was a little restrained, he smiled and said:
"Orange, what's wrong with you?"
"nothing!"
After taking a look at the luxuriously decorated passenger cabin, Su Cheng said a little embarrassedly:
"This is my first time riding in such a nice car, so I'm a little uncomfortable. By the way, the driver calls you Mr. Yuan, what do you do?"
"I work for Jingyan Group, a real estate company. What about you?"
"I work on the set, as Sister Xiaoxiao's assistant and as her stand-in. Do you know Sister Xiaoxiao?"
"have no idea!"
Shaking his head slightly, Yuan Xudong looked at Su Cheng and smiled:
"I seldom pay attention to entertainment news. Except for a few celebrities, I don't know the others. Is this Sister Xiaoxiao a very beautiful celebrity?"
"Sister Xiaoxiao is pretty, but she's an internet celebrity, not a big star!"
After that, without waiting for Yuan Xudong to say anything, Su Cheng looked at him curiously and said:
"Mr. Yuan, do you guys like beautiful celebrities?"
"Not necessarily. Everyone has their own aesthetics and values. Appearance is important, and the soul is also important. For me, those girls who are good-looking and kind-hearted are the most beautiful. It doesn't matter whether they are big stars or not!"
After saying that, seeing Su Cheng staring at him intently, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Girls like you, who are pretty and simple-minded, are the most beautiful girls in my mind, much more beautiful than those glamorous big stars. By the way, I'm quite curious, that sister Xiaoxiao uses you as a stand-in, isn't she afraid that you will steal her chance to appear on camera?"
"What?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong praising him like this, Su Cheng felt a little embarrassed and said:
"I'm just average looking, I don't have a good figure, and I haven't learned to act yet, so how can I possibly steal Sister Xiaoxiao's chance to appear on screen? Besides, stand-ins don't show their faces, so they can only act in scenes that are very strenuous, like wrestling, diving, getting beaten, etc. It only requires hard work, not acting skills. Anyone with a similar figure can play the role."
"Yeah?"
Yuan Xudong looked at Su Cheng who was self-deprecating and said with a smile:
"I may not say that I have seen countless people, but I do know a little bit about how to judge people. How about I help you take a look?"
"OK!"
Nodding slightly, Su Cheng looked at Yuan Xudong with curiosity and said:
"How would you like to see me do anything?"
"No, just stretch out your right hand!"
"You want to read your palm?"
Su Cheng opened his eyes slightly and looked at Yuan Xudong with some suspicion:
"Are you sure you're not lying?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
After rolling his eyes at Su Cheng, Yuan Xudong said seriously:
"As the saying goes, appearance is determined by the heart. I have already looked at your face. I just need to look at your palm. The palm and face will confirm each other, and then we can draw the final conclusion. It's not 100% correct, but it's almost right. This is a rare opportunity. Do you want me to take a look?"
"All right!"
With a smile on his lips, Su Cheng stretched out his right hand and said with a smile:
"Take a look at my palm. How does it look? Can I become a big star and film with Orlando in the future?"
"Let me see!"
Holding Su Cheng's right hand, Yuan Xudong gently stroked her palm and said with a smile:
"Your hands are beautiful, but a little rough. You must have suffered a lot, right?"
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong touching his palm, Su Cheng quickly retracted his right hand like a frightened little white rabbit, his face slightly red as he said:
"Mr. Yuan, why are you like this?"
"I'm sorry, I was so abrupt!"
After apologizing, Yuan Xudong looked at Su Cheng, whose face was slightly red, and smiled:
"You are very beautiful, hard-working, and kind-hearted. I believe you will realize your dream. You just need to persevere. Sincerity can move mountains and break rocks. Only by keeping your original intention can you achieve your goal!"
After Yuan Xudong finished speaking, Su Cheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him and muttered softly:
"It's the same as if I didn't say anything. According to what you said, if I realize my dream, it means that sincerity can move mountains and break rocks. If I don't realize my dream, it means that I am not persistent enough, right?"
"Yes, that's it!"
With a laugh, Yuan Xudong looked at Su Cheng and said with a smile:
"As the ancients said, nothing is difficult for a person who sets his mind to it. If you want to realize your dream, then do it with all your heart. Whether you succeed or not is not important because that is not something you can decide. Sometimes hard work does not necessarily lead to reward, but this is not a reason for us to shrink back, right?"
After that, without waiting for Su Cheng to say anything, Yuan Xudong took out a bottle of whiskey and two glasses from the wine cabinet, poured a small glass of whiskey for himself and Su Cheng respectively, and said with a smile:
"How about a toast to our dreams?"
"don't want!"
Shaking his head slightly, Su Cheng pushed the wine glass towards Yuan Xudong and refused:
"I still have to work, I can't drink with you!"
"Just take a sip, or even a lick!"
"don't want!"
"Well, forget it if you don't want to drink it. Such good wine can't be wasted. If you don't drink it, I'll drink it alone!"
After finishing two small glasses of whiskey, Yuan Xudong put down his glass and sighed:
"Life is short, so enjoy yourself while you can. In this world, the only things you should not waste are good wine and beautiful women!"
Su Cheng rolled his eyes at Yuan Xudong and looked out the window and said curiously:
"Why haven't we arrived yet? Have we just passed this place once?"
Hearing Su Cheng say this, Yuan Xudong looked at Xia Weijun in the cockpit and said speechlessly:
"Old Xia, don't you know the way?"
"No!"
Shaking his head slightly, Xia Weijun said seriously:
“It’s my first time to visit Chedun Film and Television City. I’m not familiar with the route, so I took an extra detour and arrived right away!”
"Yeah?"
Looking at Xia Weijun's good intentions, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I'll give you a day off tomorrow. Bring your wife and kids to Chedun Film and Television City for a day. You'll be familiar with the route after making a couple of trips!"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Yuan!"
"You're welcome. Just keep working hard and create value for the company!"
"I will, thank you, Mr. Yuan!"
After a while, they arrived at the destination. Under the guidance of Su Cheng, Xia Weijun drove the car to the vicinity of the crew of "Yu da Banana Luo Xianting". Yuan Xudong and Su Cheng each carried a portion of coffee, milk tea, and various snacks and walked towards the crew.
Seeing Yuan Xudong insisting on coming with him to the crew to see the world, Su Cheng couldn't help but say:
"Actually, filming a TV series is not fun at all. Sometimes it takes a long time to shoot a scene. You definitely won't like it!"
"That's not necessarily true !"
Yuan Xudong looked at Su Cheng and said with a smile:
"I want to see what Sister Xiaoxiao looks like. Is she as beautiful as you? Also, aren't you her stand-in? Do you have any scenes to shoot today? I want to see what you look like when you're filming. Are you particularly beautiful?"
Su Cheng gave Yuan Xudong a blank look and reminded him in a low voice:
"Once we're on set, you stay beside me and don't talk nonsense, okay?"
"I know. I'll just watch and not say anything. It won't affect your work!"
“I hope so!”
…
After entering the crew, Su Cheng took Yuan Xudong to a woman in a pink cheongsam and put the coffee, milk tea, and various snacks in their hands on the table. Su Cheng looked at the woman in the pink cheongsam and smiled:
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I've bought everything. Do you have anything else to tell me?"
"You still remember to come back? What time is it now?"
After glaring at Su Cheng, Sister Xiaoxiao glanced at Yuan Xudong standing next to her, and after a moment of hesitation, she said:
"Who are you……?"
"I am……"
Without waiting for Yuan Xudong to finish, Su Cheng on the side spoke directly:
"Sister Xiaoxiao, his name is Yuan Xudong, he's my friend, he wants to come to the crew to see me and take a look at how we film."
"You have such a handsome friend?"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Sister Xiaoxiao looked at Su Cheng beside her and urged:
"There will be a scene where you will be a stunt double. Teacher Mei will slap you and you will roll down the stairs. The clothes are behind you. They are the same as the ones I am wearing. Go and change into them. By the way, do you remember all the lines?"
"Remember, I've read the script. Thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao. I'll go change my clothes first!"
After saying thank you, Su Cheng walked towards the dressing room and makeup room. Yuan Xudong followed her. After walking for a while, Su Cheng looked at Yuan Xudong and asked curiously:
"Why are you following me?"
Blinking his eyes, Yuan Xudong said as a matter of course:
"Didn't you ask me to follow you all the time?"
Su Cheng rolled his eyes at Yuan Xudong and said unhappily:
"I'm going to change my clothes now. Do you want to follow me when I change clothes?"
"I'll wait for you outside!"
Looking to the left and right, seeing no one nearby, Yuan Xudong leaned close to Su Cheng's ear and whispered:
"I took a look, and that sister Xiaoxiao isn't as pretty as you, nor does she have a better figure than you. She has a bad temper, bosses you around, and acts arrogantly. She's not pretty at all. How did the director choose the role? Is she talented?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, I'll be in trouble. This job is very important to me. Please don't make trouble, okay?"
"Okay, I won't delay your work. Go change your clothes. I'll wait for you here!"
"Well, just walk around here, I'll be out soon, see you later!"
"See you later!"
After Su Cheng entered the dressing room, Yuan Xudong leaned against the wall and stood outside the door, watching the busy crew members around him. After a moment's hesitation, he took out his cell phone and called Jiang Nansun. After a while, the call was connected. They were both silent for a while, and then Jiang Nansun's voice rang out from the other side:
"Xudong, is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me. Are you home?"
"Well, at home, are you coming back?"
"I'm outside, I'll be back tonight!"
"Okay, I'll hang up first. See you tonight!"
"See you tonight!"
After the call ended, Yuan Xudong put the phone in his pocket and stood there waiting for a while. Su Cheng, who had finished putting on makeup and changed into a cheongsam, came out of the dressing room, stood behind Yuan Xudong, patted him lightly and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yuan, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Hearing Su Cheng's voice, Yuan Xudong turned around and looked at her. She was wearing a well-tailored light pink cheongsam with faint plum blossoms embroidered on it. She had a fairly large chest, slightly raised hips, and a body curve that was gathered at the waist. Her figure was graceful and swaying. The high-slit hem of the cheongsam revealed a pair of long, straight, tight, white, jade-like legs. Seeing this, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"You have a nice figure, but your makeup and hair are not good. You should wear light makeup and style your hair in a bun. This way you will look more innocent and attract more audiences."
Su Cheng rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong who was criticizing her makeup and said unhappily:
"I'm a stand-in, not the main character. It doesn't matter how I put on my makeup. What's important is Sister Xiaoxiao. Do you understand?"
"I'm sorry, I forgot you're a stuntman and the audience can't see your face!"
After saying sorry, Yuan Xudong looked at Su Cheng and said with a smile:
"You look really good in a cheongsam. I didn't expect you to have such a good figure. That Xiaoxiao sister is far inferior to you. You are the lead actor and she is more like a stand-in!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Su Cheng walked in front and led the way:
"Come on, I have to go to the filming, you follow me!"
"good!"
In response, Yuan Xudong followed the graceful Su Cheng walking on the path, his eyes fixed on her back. She had a graceful figure, a slender waist like a willow, and smooth white arms. As she walked, the hem of her cheongsam opened slightly, revealing a pair of straight, tight, and snow-white long legs. As if sensing Yuan Xudong's burning gaze, Su Cheng, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around, glared at him, and said with a flushed face:
"Mr. Yuan, what are you looking at?"
"No, I didn't see anything!"
Looking away slightly, Yuan Xudong said seriously:
"This cheongsam is very beautiful. I plan to buy one for my sister. She will definitely like it very much!"
"Yeah?"
Su Cheng continued walking while looking at Yuan Xudong suspiciously:
"You have a sister?"
"Actually, I have two sisters, one in my hometown and one in Shanghai. I'll introduce them to you if I have the chance. One of them likes celebrities, and the other likes singing and dancing. You three will definitely have common topics to talk about together."
After that, without waiting for Su Cheng to say anything, Yuan Xudong changed the subject:
"Okay, let's talk about these things later. Go to film first. It would be bad if you were late!"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, Su Cheng hurriedly walked towards the place where they were going to film. Yuan Xudong followed closely behind her, watching her twisting her waist and hips, and feasting his eyes on her swaying back. After a while, they arrived at the destination. Yuan Xudong stopped outside the venue. Su Cheng walked in, stopped in front of a short-haired woman dressed in men's clothes, and whispered:
"I'm sorry, Miss Mei, am I late?"
"It's okay, it's just right!"
"That's good!"
Seeing the stuntman Su Cheng rushing to the shooting site, Teacher Mei handed the script to the assistant, then looked at the director and smiled:
"Director, let's shoot, come on!"
"Okay, let's start here, the stuntman stands at the bottom of the steps!"
"Okay!"
"Come on, all departments are ready, let's start filming!"
"Ya Ru, hit the board!"
"Okay!"
"Raindrops hitting banana leaves fall into the garden, seven scenes, forty-one scenes, eight times, start!"
