After the opening ceremony, Yao Weiran had half a day to rest. She was sitting in the hotel memorizing the script, but she received a call. There was a man on the other end of the phone, saying: "Miss Yao, I am Director Lu's assistant. I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been."
These words made Yao Weiran a little confused. Director Lu's assistant called him specifically to say hello? What's the purpose?
Yao Weiran said politely: "Thank you for your concern. Thanks to Director Lu, everything went smoothly. Does the special assistant have anything to do with me?"
"Director Lu learned that Miss Yao has no schedule tonight and would like to invite Miss Yao to have dinner." Assistant Lin finished speaking and quietly waited for Yao Weiran's answer.
Yao Weiran asked uncertainly: "Director Lu is looking for me? Is it about cooperation and endorsement?"
Assistant Lin said: "Miss Yao should ask Director Lu herself. I will send a car to wait for you in front of the hotel at seven o'clock in the evening. Goodbye."
After he finished speaking, he hung up.
Yao Weiran frowned slightly as he looked at the call record, not quite understanding what Lu Fengyuan was looking for.
Looking at Yao Weiran's thoughtful expression, the little Loli said: "Why are you hesitating? Lu Fengyuan! Go, go! Definitely go! Isn't this a top-level connection!"
"What kind of connections does he have?" Yao Weiran said still worriedly, "Can I reach Lu Fengyuan's level? What on earth does he want to see me for..."
Yao Weiran couldn't help but think of the dark scene in his previous life when he was teased and teased by the so-called high-level CEOs at the dinner table, and comforted himself that Lu Fengyuan was probably not that kind of person.
Who knows how much fun the sanctimonious upper class like them have behind the scenes?
"I think Lu Fengyuan is quite nice, gentle and elegant." Little Loli didn't understand what Yao Weiran was worried about.
Yao Weiran rolled his eyes at the little Lolita and said, "When have you ever seen it right?"
"I saw it accurately." Little Loli said unconvinced.
Yao Weiran didn't say anything anymore, thinking to himself, he would go as soon as he asked, and he would show off his tactics at first sight.
Inexplicably, Yao Weiran thought of Yan Rui. Since the last nearly five-hour phone call, he had not been in contact with Yan Rui this week. Looking at the news on the Internet, it seemed that he had gone abroad to participate in some activities.
Who else can help...
While thinking about it, Yao Weiran called Lang Kun. The other party answered the call quickly and asked in a brisk tone: "What's wrong, Ayao?"
"Xiao Lang, are you busy now?" Yao Weiran asked.
Lang Kun put down the capacitive pen in his hand and asked, "I'm not busy. What's wrong?"
Yao Weiran thought for a while and said: "I have a favor and I want you to help me. Give me a call at eight o'clock tonight. If I don't answer, call me again at eight-thirty. If I still don't answer...just call the police." .”
She was still worried that something bad would happen, just in case.
"What's going on? Why? It's so serious to call the police? What's wrong with you? Where are you?" Lang Kun couldn't help but ask why.
Yao Weiran comforted Lang Kun and said, "It's okay. Don't worry. I'm just going to have a dinner, but the other party is not familiar with him. It's just in case. Maybe I'm too nervous."
"Dinner..." Lang Kun pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay, I understand what you mean, once at eight o'clock, if you don't answer, it will be again at eight thirty, I will remember it!"
Yao Weiran breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have you."
Upon hearing this, Lang Kun raised his chin and said, "Don't worry! I'm here!"
After hanging up the phone, Yao Weiran didn't want to read the script anymore. He took out his phone and clicked on the hot search list. Because of Li Liang's incident in the early stage and the format of filming and broadcasting, the drama was very popular. The crew released a part of the script. The behind-the-scenes reading was also trending. A few young people were sitting together laughing and joking. The scene looked quite harmonious. After all, they were all actors and they all looked alike in front of the camera.
The barrage floated by:
"Yao Weiran is so beautiful without makeup!"
"Please, Zhuang Die'er is the heroine!"
"Zhuang Dieer and Yao Weiran look so big when they are in the same frame."
"Yao Weiran, a female lead, can really steal the show."
"Yao Weiran was bullied by the company and the crew. He didn't even have a single photo. It was really miserable."
…
Yao Weiran also sighed when he saw these barrages. When two actresses are in the same frame, they always compete to see who is more beautiful, and they will start to quarrel soon.
The issue of promotional photos was mentioned again in the barrage. At first, it was just fans of Yao Weiran who found out and questioned them. As the behind-the-scenes footage was released, many people poured into the comment area of the crew's official blog to ask for Yao Weiran's solo photos. , but Yao Weiran didn’t even take a single photo.
This back-and-forth of silent treatment made more people see the fishiness and questioned why Yao Weiran was not even taken a makeup photo.
The crew's publicity staff had no choice but to ask the director for advice. The director scratched his bald head helplessly and said, "Just pretend you didn't see it. What can I do? The management is standing here and let Yao Weiran join the set." It’s already a bit unpleasant.”
The director also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhuang Die'er in his heart, and he didn't want to take on this project at first, but the other party offered him too much, and he had no choice but to wrong Yao Weiran.
The crew is willing to wrong Yao Weiran, but the fans and netizens are not willing to do so. The official website of the film went directly to the hot search, asking for an explanation. Why did Yao Weiran not have a solo photo, and the group photo was also in the corner? After all, she is the second female lead. Isn’t this treatment so unfair?
Some fans found out that one of the investors of this drama was Zhuang Dieer's company, and began to wonder if Zhuang Dieer deliberately excluded Yao Weiran. After all, Zhuang Dieer failed completely based on her appearance alone.
Such remarks aroused dissatisfaction among Zhuang Dieer's fans, and soon fans from the two families began to attack each other and start a scolding war.
Yao Weiran, who was sitting in Dong Lu's car, hadn't been able to see this scene yet. She put on makeup before going out and wore a simple and elegant dress. Although it was a cheap street stall, Yao Weiran was better because of her good looks and good temperament. It looks good even in a sack.
"Miss Yao, please." The assistant opened the door for Yao Weiran and took her to a low-key and luxurious French restaurant. She went directly downstairs from the VIP passage to the third floor below.
Pushing open the door of the private room, Yao Weiran did not see Lu Fengyuan. The assistant explained: "Director Lu still has some things to deal with. Please wait a moment, Miss Yao."
With that said, he pulled out a chair for Yao Weiran.
Yao Weiran sat down and thanked: "Thank you very much."
After the assistant left, Yao Weiran began to look around. The entire private room was designed like an underground wine cellar, with wooden shelves on three sides filled with red wine. There were also several oak barrels piled in the corners, and the air was filled with the aroma of red wine.
Yao Weiran especially looked at a few corners to see if there were any cameras.
At this time, the door suddenly opened and Lu Fengyuan walked in.
Yao Weiran was frightened, so he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Director Lu."
"Sit." Lu Fengyuan came over gracefully, took off his coat and sat opposite Yao Weiran. He smiled elegantly and said, "Miss Yao, you have been waiting for a long time."
Yao Weiran sat down slowly and said, "No, I didn't know Director Lu was looking for me..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Fengyuan pressed the service bell, looked down at the menu and said, "Sorry, let's order something to eat first. The steak in this restaurant is very good. Miss Yao, do you want to try it?"
Yao Weiran was not impatient, nodded and said: "Director Lu, let's make the decision. I'm not familiar with this place either."
After the waiter came in, Lu Fengyuan took orders with ease. During the process, he didn't forget to ask Yao Weiran if he had any taboos, acting like a gentleman and having strong opinions.
After ordering, Lu Fengyuan asked the waiter: "Are you sober?"
"I've woken up early." After answering, the waiter said into the earphone, "Come here and pour some wine for Director Lu."
After the waiter left, another person who poured wine came in. During this period, Yao Weiran didn't say a word and kept quietly paying attention to Lu Fengyuan's every move.
After the waiter went out, Lu Fengyuan raised his glass and said, "Please, Miss Yao."
Yao Weiran did not pick up the wine glass, but looked at Lu Fengyuan and asked: "I don't quite understand what Director Lu wants from me today. I'd better explain it clearly before drinking."
Lu Fengyuan's hand was hanging in the air without any embarrassment. He smiled slightly and took a sip and said, "You can't delay good wine. I suggest Miss Yao taste it as soon as possible. It's just a simple dinner. Miss Yao doesn't need to think too complicated."
Such words obviously did not satisfy Yao Weiran. She looked at Lu Fengyuan in silence, her smiling eyes also full of defense.
Lu Fengyuan looked at Yao Weiran and suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Yao is indeed very interesting. You must have wondered why Guangda chose you as its spokesperson, right? Everything went so smoothly."
"All ears."
Lu Fengyuan crossed his hands on his chin and said casually and with the dignity of a superior: "To put it bluntly, there is no shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry, but there is a lack of mysterious people like Miss Yao. Everyone knows that I like to study the Zhouyi gossip. In addition, after working in the mall for so many years, I thought I could see through many things, including people's hearts and human nature, but when I met Ms. Yao, I couldn't see through it, which aroused my great curiosity."
It turns out that was the case. No wonder Lu Fengyuan invited her to represent Guangda Shopping Mall and specially arranged a dinner, all out of curiosity about Yao Weiran.
Yao Weiran curled her lips and said, "I'm just an ordinary little actor. There's nothing I can't see through. It's probably Director Lu's imagination that gives me a sense of mystery."
"No." Lu Fengyuan looked at Yao Weiran with sharp and searching eyes, shook his head gently and said, "I don't think you are mysterious, but you have secrets hidden in you, and you have eyes that are incompatible with your age and experience. And aura, and I’ve seen various interview videos of you before, and the look in your eyes is different from the one you have now. What makes a person completely change his look in a short period of time?”
Listening to these words, Yao Weiran reluctantly looked at Lu Fengyuan. She felt as if she didn't dare to look into Lu Fengyuan's eyes, as if her soul would be ripped out if Lu Fengyuan looked at her a few more times.
Little Loli also said: "He is so scary..."
"Hahahaha." Lu Fengyuan suddenly lowered his head and laughed, waving his hands and saying, "Miss Yao, don't mind, I always like to talk like this, I just feel that I have a affinity with Miss Yao."
He said and raised his glass again.
This time Yao Weiran also picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Director Lu, for your appreciation."
Lu Fengyuan raised his eyebrows with satisfaction and asked as usual: "How is life on the set? Are you satisfied?"
Before Yao Weiran could answer, Lu Fengyuan continued: "I came here specifically to lead a drama of public opinion. Miss Yao should be very satisfied with this drama."
Looking into Lu Fengyuan's eyes, Yao Weiran got goosebumps all over his body. He thought about something and asked, "So the person who helped me is Director Lu, right?"
