CHAPTER 63: HAPPILY BUSY

What’s more, once she was so busy that she went back and fell asleep, and the next day she left early without preparing breakfast and lunch for him. His stomach ache flared up, scaring Wen Nuan badly. From then on, she dared not neglect him. If she went back late, she would definitely tell Ye Feimo to get his own food.

Her profession was inherently busy. Filming a TV series was tedious, with most of the time spent in the film and television city. Sometimes she had to rush to several locations in a day, and she might also have to attend promotional events.

"Pure Lotus Princess" had several pieces of incidental music. They had originally wanted to invite famous singers to sing them, but considering the budget, the director decisively utilized resources. Wen Nuan and Chen Hang’s vocal recordings were also good. Wen Nuan had to sing three interlude songs, and Zhuo Bingbing also had two. The opening theme was sung by Zhuo Bingbing and Chen Hang, and the ending theme was a solo by Wen Nuan. She hadn’t received specialized vocal training, so to do her best, Wen Nuan asked Cai Xiaojing for help again.

Therefore, after rushing the filming in the afternoon, Wen Nuan sometimes had to return to Anning International for rigorous vocal training. At other times, she had to attend promotional events and shoot posters for "Pure Lotus Princess," a whole bunch of things.

She was incredibly busy.

Ye Feimo had a lot of opinions about her work schedule, but Wen Nuan was happily busy. He held back several times and didn’t say anything.

Young Master Ye still had a very bad temper. Wen Nuan held her phone, feeling very conflicted.

"Wow, Wen Nuan, do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, it’s my... my dad," Wen Nuan said guiltily. Cai Xiaojing had long told her that she was absolutely not allowed to say she had a boyfriend outside, no matter how much she trusted the person.

In the evening, Xu Yongchang, the young master of Hairun, came to visit the set. Gu Yiting beamed, and the two put on a big show of affection on the set. This young master of Hairun was good-looking, with a square face, dressed in a suit and looking quite presentable. He seemed to be a good match for Gu Yiting.

No matter how hard female actors worked or how high an achievement they reached, it wasn’t as good as marrying a rich and powerful man. Gu Yiting originally loved to compare herself to others and always had a superior air on set.

Xu Yongchang also indulged her, making her feel even more proud.

Wen Nuan was filming a dance scene, dressed in white that was whiter than snow, her clothes fluttering. Her ethereal beauty quickly attracted Xu Yongchang’s attention. He was slightly mesmerized. It had to be said that Wen Nuan’s ancient costume look was truly otherworldly, pure and refined, as fresh and lovely as a lily. Coupled with the expensive costumes and headdresses, she looked even more beautiful than a celestial being. Originally, she was a supporting actress, but no matter how one looked at it, she had the aura of a female lead, completely overshadowing Zhuo Bingbing.

Zhuo Bingbing was also a generous person and surprisingly didn’t say anything. However, she understood in her heart that someone must be supporting Wen Nuan behind the scenes. She had heard her manager talk about Cai Xiaojing, who was a remarkable person. So she wisely didn’t offend Wen Nuan. Having been in the entertainment industry for a long time, smart people could always sense a subtle change in the wind.

Xu Yongchang suddenly became interested and wanted to treat the crew to dinner. Director Zhang hesitated slightly. They had to rush the night shoot tonight, but Hairun was after all an investor, and they hadn’t treated the entire crew to a meal despite a month of hard work. So Director Zhang agreed.

Cheng Ying and Peng Yuming didn’t join in the fun, and Xu Yongchang didn’t mind. His only target was Wen Nuan. This woman’s looks and figure suited his taste.

The entire crew, including the director, assistant director, producer, production manager, male and female leads, supporting actors, and others, totaled more than thirty people. Xu Yongchang was also generous and treated them to a very stylish restaurant, booking a large private room.

These days, Wen Nuan had gotten along well with the crew. She was the youngest on set, and everyone liked her quite a bit. Chen Hang, Li Chengming, and Zhuo Bingbing were all around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, loved to have fun, and got along well with the four of them.

During the meal, Xu Yongchang said a bunch of things like they had worked hard filming, his attitude was humble, and his language was unpretentious. Everyone had a good impression of him. When he toasted, no one refused. Wen Nuan wasn’t good at drinking and didn’t drink much. Xu Yongchang kept toasting the few of them. Chen Hang and Li Chengming, being young and energetic, had been cooped up on set for over a month and let loose, drinking freely. The atmosphere was lively.

"Wen Nuan, Bingbing, both beauties aren’t drinking. Could it be that you dislike the wine I’m offering?" After Wen Nuan and Zhuo Bingbing repeatedly declined, Xu Yongchang said jokingly.

Wen Nuan shook her head, saying she wasn’t good at drinking. Zhuo Bingbing was someone who had socialized before and understood Xu Yongchang’s intentions, so she politely drank two glasses. Director Zhang had an idea of Xu Yongchang’s reputation and winked at Wen Nuan. Wen Nuan also politely drank two glasses.

With such a lively atmosphere, they couldn’t spoil it by not drinking.

This meal was lively and lasted for over two hours. After dinner, someone cheerfully suggested that Young Master Xu should take them to a KTV private room for some fun. This suggestion was exactly what Young Master Xu had in mind.

He clapped his hands and called up a few investors, producers, and media tycoons, urging Zhuo Bingbing, Wen Nuan, Gu Yiting, and others to go to KTV to sing. Director Zhang said that he had to go back and work on the night shoot tonight and couldn’t go to KTV.

Two actresses in the crew were very willing to go. Hearing the importance of the people Xu Yongchang mentioned on the phone, they pleaded even more to go. If they could get in good with any of those investors or producers, wouldn’t they rise to prominence?

The entertainment industry was full of beauties. For someone to become a big star, besides hard work, they also needed someone to support them. This was an iron rule. Otherwise, no matter how good-looking or how hard they worked, they wouldn’t make it to the top.

The current entertainment industry wasn’t like the era of Leslie Cheung, where they could become famous based on their talent and hard work alone.

Director Zhang gritted his teeth. Xu Yongchang said something in his ear. Although he was angry, he could only reluctantly let them go have fun, while he wouldn’t go. The assistant director and the producer went.

Wen Nuan and Zhuo Bingbing were pushed into a car by someone. Before they could even refuse, the car drove away. They were in Xu Yongchang’s car, with Gu Yiting sitting in the front.

Chen Hang and Li Chengming were squeezed in the back with them.

Wen Nuan and Zhuo Bingbing had drunk a bit too much and were dizzy and didn’t know how to resist.

Director Zhang stomped his feet. "These bastards!"

An older actor patted his shoulder. "Forget it, you should have gotten used to it long ago. I think Xu Yongchang has taken a fancy to Wen Nuan. His eyes were following her around on set."

"Of course I could see that." Director Zhang was very worried. "Do you have Cai Xiaojing’s phone number?"
