Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 218 Tragedy of Fang Xiaoxiao
Putting down the headset, Yuan Xudong looked at Duan Chengxuan and said with a smile:
"Boss Duan, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. It seems my sister can't join your Xingyu company!"
"Mr. Yuan, please don't misunderstand me. I don't know Fang Xiaoxiao at all. Who knows what nonsense she is talking about!"
After saying this, Duan Chengxuan, who was angry inside, forced a smile and said:
"Mr. Yuan, I have to excuse myself for a moment!"
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I was just joking with you. I hope Mr. Duan doesn't take it to heart!"
"Understood, Mr. Yuan, I have something else to do so I'll leave first, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After watching Duan Chengxuan leave, Yuan Xudong sat on the chair and waited for a while. When he saw Su Cheng coming out of the dressing room, he stood up from the chair, walked over to her and said with a smile:
"Come on, I'll go buy some fruit salad with you!"
"How did you know I was going to buy fruit salad?"
"There are headsets for filming over there. I heard everything you and Fang Xiaoxiao talked about in the dressing room. I have to state in advance that I didn't mean to overhear. Duan Chengxuan was sitting with me, so he was also involved!"
"Neuropathy?"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Su Cheng said with some surprise:
"What does he want from you?"
"Who knows?"
Yuan Xudong followed Su Cheng to the outside of the crew and said:
"He didn't say anything. After listening to what Fang Xiaoxiao said, he left angrily. His face looked very ugly. I guess he was going to cause trouble for Fang Xiaoxiao!"
"ah?"
Su Cheng stopped and wanted to turn around and walk back:
"I'll go tell Sister Xiaoxiao to be careful of Duan Chengxuan!"
"Wait a moment!"
Yuan Xudong quickly grabbed Su Cheng and advised:
"She is just a low-ranking actress. Not only does she have no capital, but she also likes to talk nonsense. As the person involved, it is understandable that Duan Chengxuan wants to deal with her. What's more, you are just her stand-in, and she doesn't respect you. Why do you care about her? Even if you want to care, your status is not as good as hers. What right do you have to fight Duan Chengxuan? Aren't you afraid that he will completely ban you?"
"I'm not afraid of him. If you have the guts, just ban me!"
Su Cheng rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and pouted unhappily:
"He is just an egomaniac, a psychopath, and a super narcissist. He thinks everyone in the world knows him. Are you afraid of him?"
"No, I'm not afraid of him, I'm just a little jealous!"
"Jealous?"
Blinking his watery eyes twice, Su Cheng looked at Yuan Xudong and said curiously:
"What do you mean? Are you jealous of Duan Chengxuan?"
"What do you think?"
Staring at Su Cheng, Yuan Xudong pretended to be unhappy and said:
"You called Duan Chengxuan a psychopath, and Duan Chengxuan called you Hello Kitty. The two of you are like a pair of bickering lovers. I feel uncomfortable watching you. I don't want you to have anything to do with him!"
“So that’s how it is!”
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was like a child, Su Cheng said with some amusement:
"Well, I won't call him a psychopath anymore. I'll just call him Mr. Duan. Are you satisfied now?"
“That’s more like it!”
"Mr. Yuan, you are so stingy and jealous like a child. From now on, I will call you a jealous stingy person!"
"I don't want it. This name doesn't sound good. Change it!"
"Change what?"
"How about a cheapskate who loves oranges?"
"What's so nice about this name?"
"There's orange in it. Is that okay since I like oranges?"
After giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Su Cheng walked in front with a slightly red face and said:
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'll send a WeChat message to Sister Xiaoxiao to remind her!"
"Send it, as long as you are happy!"
…
In the crew, Duan Chengxuan found the director and asked:
"Old Yang, who is Fang Xiaoxiao?"
"She's a little internet celebrity. You know her assistant, right? The one called Hello Kitty. She often appears on set. Her acting skills are pretty good!"
"You said her assistant acted well?"
"That's really good!"
"How many scenes has Fang Xiaoxiao filmed now?"
"She's a big star. She's been here quite a few times to shoot, but she's always been filmed by a body double. She hasn't done any scenes herself. Is there a problem?"
"No problem, I'm just asking casually, you go ahead and do your work, I have something else to do so I'll leave first, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
With a sly smile on his face, Duan Chengxuan took a bottle of red wine from his car, then walked into the dressing room. Seeing Fang Xiaoxiao sitting there alone, he walked over and said with a smile:
"Hello, are you Xiaoxiao?"
"I am!"
Seeing Duan Chengxuan, Fang Xiaoxiao quickly stood up and said with a smile:
"Mr. Duan, what can I do for you?"
“Nothing much!”
Looking at Fang Xiaoxiao who was so close, Duan Chengxuan handed over the red wine in his hand and said with a smile:
"Xiaoxiao, I'm actually your fan. I heard that you like drinking red wine. This is my personal collection. I hope you like it!"
After taking the red wine, Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the full English instructions on the label. Although she couldn't understand it, it didn't prevent her from having a sense of authority. The wine Duan Chengxuan sent must be good. Thinking of this, she looked at Duan Chengxuan and smiled:
"Thank you, Mr. Duan, I like it very much!"
"As long as you like it!"
With a smile on his face, Duan Chengxuan walked up to Fang Xiaoxiao and whispered in her ear:
"Xiaoxiao, this bottle of wine is as exquisite as you. Only a beauty like you deserves it. It's a pity that we don't have Kobe steak airlifted here. The melt-in-the-mouth texture is the best match for this red wine. If you're willing, how about coming to my winery tonight? Just the two of us?"
"Yes, I do!"
After taking a look at Duan Chengxuan, Fang Xiaoxiao held the red wine he gave her and said infatuatedly:
"Thank you, Mr. Duan, you are so nice to me!"
"Still calling me Mr. Duan?"
Duan Chengxuan looked at Fang Xiaoxiao with some reproach and pretended to be displeased:
"Xiaoxiao, it's too polite for you to talk like that. If you want, you can call me Chengxuan from now on!"
"Chengxuan?"
After looking at Duan Chengxuan, Fang Xiaoxiao said with surprise and embarrassment:
"Chengxuan, can I really call you that?"
"Of course, I..."
Before Duan Chengxuan could finish, a WeChat notification sounded. It was Fang Xiaoxiao's phone. Duan Chengxuan glanced at the phone on the table and said with a smile:
"Xiaoxiao, your phone is ringing . Is it a WeChat message from your boyfriend?"
"No, no, I don't have a boyfriend!"
Picking up the phone from the desktop and opening WeChat, Fang Xiaoxiao handed it to Duan Chengxuan without even glancing at it.
"Chengxuan, look at yourself, I really don't have a boyfriend!"
"Yeah?"
After taking a casual glance and seeing the message Su Cheng sent to Fang Xiaoxiao, Duan Chengxuan smiled slightly and said:
“So I really watched it?”
"Look, a person of integrity has nothing to fear. I really don't have a boyfriend!"
Duan Chengxuan took Fang Xiaoxiao's phone, deleted and blocked the reminder message Su Cheng sent her, and returned the phone to Fang Xiaoxiao and said:
"This is a message from Su Cheng. I blocked her for you. This person is really annoying. Do you mind?"
"I don't mind. I really hate her too. I'll fire her when she comes back!"
Putting away the phone, Fang Xiaoxiao wanted to get closer to Duan Chengxuan and said:
"Chengxuan, then..."
Without waiting for her to get close to him, Duan Chengxuan dodged without leaving a trace and said:
"I'm really sorry that I let you play such a small role this time, so please bear with me!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, roles are not divided by size!"
"I knew you were a rare good actor!"
Looking at Fang Xiaoxiao who was very happy, Duan Chengxuan smiled and said:
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, it won't be like this in the future. I will open a play specifically for you and let you be the heroine, okay?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Looking at the excited Fang Xiaoxiao, Duan Chengxuan leaned close to her ear and blew:
"When filming, be careful to protect yourself. Use a double whenever possible. Your skin is so white and tender. I would be sad if you got hurt. Remember that?"
“But the director…”
Before Fang Xiaoxiao could finish, Duan Chengxuan interrupted her and said:
"The director is the director, and I am me. Who would you rather listen to?"
"Of course I'll listen to you!"
After looking at Duan Chengxuan, Fang Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said with a mixture of joy and shyness:
"You're the big boss, the whole crew belongs to you, of course I have to listen to you!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Fang Xiaoxiao who was pretending to be shy, Duan Chengxuan's eyes flashed with disgust, but he said with a smile on his face:
"The entire crew belongs to me. What about you, Xiaoxiao? Are you mine?"
Hearing Duan Chengxuan's straightforward hint, Fang Xiaoxiao nodded and whispered:
"Chengxuan, whatever you say is what I will listen to you!"
"Okay, I have something else to do so I'll leave first. Take care of yourself and see you tonight!"
"Well, see you tonight!"
After Duan Chengxuan left, Fang Xiaoxiao, in a good mood, found a wine glass and started drinking the red wine Duan Chengxuan gave her. Although it didn't taste very good and was quite bitter, Fang Xiaoxiao enjoyed it. It didn't matter whether the red wine was good or not, the key was to have good quality. High-quality red wine was good no matter how unpalatable it was, and low-quality red wine was bad no matter how good it was. Although it tasted terribly bitter in her mouth, Fang Xiaoxiao's face showed an intoxicated look, as if the red wine Duan Chengxuan gave her was really delicious.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, the director is calling you to film!"
The assistant on the set shouted from the door of the dressing room.
"Got it, I'll be there right away!"
After responding, Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the assistant on the set and instructed:
"Assistant, come here and help me hold the red wine!"
"Okay, Sister Xiaoxiao!"
Fang Xiaoxiao asked the assistant on the set to bring the red wine, and walked slowly towards the set. When she arrived at the set, all the staff were already in place. The director was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and directly asked the makeup artist to touch up her foundation, then looked at the staff around him and said:
"Attention all departments, the filming has begun, Yaru, hit the board!"
"Okay!"
"Rain hitting banana leaves in a garden, seven scenes and forty-one takes, start!"
"Okay, come on, get ready, come on, one, two, throw!"
Hearing the command, Fang Xiaoxiao sat on the ground and slowly fell down, then she cried out "ouch", her expression and the movement of falling were as fake as they could be. The director at the side couldn't help but shout "stop", then walked up to Fang Xiaoxiao and explained in a controlled manner:
"Xiaoxiao, what you did just now was too fake. Pay more attention. Can we have a real one?"
"The ground is so hard and dirty. It hurts so much. I don't want it!"
Fang Xiaoxiao stood up and said with a look of disgust:
"Let the stand-in take the photo!"
"Just put on elbow pads!"
"That's no use. The ground is so hard that my arm will break if I fall down!"
"Xiaoxiao, just sit here. I'll keep the edges of the scene tight so I can only take a close-up shot of your reaction. Just lunge forward like this. It'll be okay if you wear elbow pads, okay?"
"It's easy for you to say, why don't you try to catch one?"
"good!"
After looking at Fang Xiaoxiao, the director sat down on the ground and demonstrated:
"Just watch, just like that, he falls down, and then he lets out an ouch, ouch!"
After demonstrating once, the director got up from the ground and said:
"It's that simple, do you understand?"
"I can't take pictures anyway. The baby's skin is so tender. Who will be responsible if it falls and gets broken?"
After looking at the director, Fang Xiaoxiao walked to the assistant on the set and said:
"Assistant, bring me my red wine, thank you!"
Seeing Fang Xiaoxiao standing there leisurely drinking red wine, the director walked up to her and said in a low voice:
"Fang Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, in that panorama just now, when you fell down the stairs, your body double had already helped you fall down. The whole process was already acted out, and there was only this close-up reaction shot left, where you just sat on the ground and plopped down. This shot requires showing your face, and the body double can't act it out. Can you be more professional?"
"I should be the one asking you this!"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't think you're great just because you're a director. Don't you think about who invested in this movie?"
"What does it have to do with you who invested in this play?"
After taking a look around, Fang Xiaoxiao approached the director and whispered:
"Isn't the greatest relationship in the world the relationship between men and women?"
"Fang Xiaoxiao, I don't care who you are related to. This crew is here to film today. They are here to work. If you want to film, then film. If you don't want to film, you can leave. No one will stop you!"
"I won't leave!"
"Fang Xiaoxiao, look at the scene. So many people are waiting for you. Can you shoot the scene? Don't waste everyone's time. You are so unprofessional. If you can shoot, then shoot. If you can't, get out!"
As soon as the voice fell, Fang Xiaoxiao directly poured the half glass of red wine in her hand over, and the surrounding staff exclaimed. After all, it was still difficult to see such an exciting scene. The director took off his glasses stained with red wine, wiped his face and shouted:
"Fang Xiaoxiao, you can leave now, get out!"
Looking at the embarrassed director, Fang Xiaoxiao was a little scared and regretted her impulsiveness. Before she could say anything, Duan Chengxuan, who had been standing by and watching the fun, came over and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Duan Chengxuan, Fang Xiaoxiao hurried over and said in a coquettish voice:
"Chengxuan, look at him, he's telling people to get lost!"
Duan Chengxuan took two steps back and dodged Fang Xiaoxiao, looking puzzled:
"Excuse me, who are you...?"
"Chengxuan, I'm Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm sorry, it may not be appropriate for you to call me that. Do I know you?"
Duan Chengxuan glanced at Fang Xiaoxiao expressionlessly, then looked at the director and said with concern:
"Old Yang, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry with this kind of person!"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, the director looked to the left and right and shouted:
"On-site producer, on-site producer, can we still shoot? Hurry up and kick out the irrelevant people!"
"Okay, Director!"
Two on-site producers walked out of the crowd, approached Fang Xiaoxiao and asked her to leave:
"Excuse me, teacher, could you please leave the set?"
"Duan Chengxuan!"
With a loud shout, Fang Xiaoxiao looked at Duan Chengxuan's back and shouted:
"You're playing dirty with me, aren't you?"
Duan Chengxuan ignored her, but the on-site producer at the side politely drove her away and said:
"Teacher, could you please leave the set?"
"I can walk by myself, you don't need to urge me!"
After glaring at the on-site producer who was trying to drive her away from the set, Fang Xiaoxiao looked at Duan Chengxuan not far away and shouted:
"Duan Chengxuan, what's so great about you? You will know how powerful Fang Xiaoxiao is in the future. Let's wait and see!"
After Fang Xiaoxiao followed the on-site producer and left, the director looked at his assistant and said:
"Ya Ru, bring the script over here. Let's not shoot this scene yet. Let's go straight to the next one!"
"Okay, Director!"
