Chapter 1329 - Walking In The Backlight (5)

“Are you a paparazzo?”

The camera in the man’s hand had explained everything very well.

So he remained silent.

The girl came out of the shadows, and the yellow light fell on her.

“Did you follow me?”

The man took a step back, frowned slightly, and the next second, he turned to leave.

“Why are you running? Get some pictures of me!”

The girl’s voice was left with the wind.

Without knowing how far he had run, the man leaned onto the building nearby to catch his breath.

He didn’t know why he was running.

A moment later, he gave himself a reason. As a paparazzo, when he was discovered, he would of course run.

He glanced at the camera in his hand. His lowered eyes were filled with indifference.

He took a taxi back to the studio.

The paparazzo from last time immediately greeted him. “Brother Liang, you’re back.”

Liang Che returned to his office without a word.

The paparazzo and the people beside him looked at each other for a few seconds in silence.

What happened to Brother Liang?

…

“Sister Xi, it’s time for makeup,” the assistant called.

But the person standing on the other side didn’t answer.

The assistant trotted over. “Sister Xi, it’s makeup time.”

Gu Xi then returned to herself. She responded gently, “Oh… Okay.”

Gu Xi looked outside, frowning. Then she walked back to the crew and asked, “What’s next door shooting?”

The assistant knew gossip very well and answered immediately, “It’s Fenghua.”

“Why haven’t I heard of this drama before?”

The assistant said, “I heard the show determined its cast a long time ago, but it never started shooting. Seems to be a problem of copyright, but it seems to be solved now. Fenghua was a novel adaptation and very popular…”

The assistant just couldn’t stop talking.

Gu Xi became unhappier and unhappier.

She saw Wen Di just now.

…

The Host signed on for Fenghua a long time ago, and the director was the one who filmed her first drama. So, even though she was getting a lot of bad press now, the director had no intention of changing her.

Fenghua’s cast was shining. The male protagonist was the movie king and the female protagonist was her.

Even the supporting male and female protagonists were big shots who had their own classics.

“Wen Di, it’s been a while. You’ve been in the headlines every day recently, but it’s better if you don’t get our crew involved.”

Ming Shu heard the voice and looked back.

The supporting female protagonist, wearing delicate makeup, came in with her assistant. Compared with the solitary Ming Shu, she was superior in momentum.

Ming Shu took a bite of ice cream. She’d like to hire some extras tomorrow as well!

Forget it…

The ice cream was good.

The person in front of her was Hu Xin, who played the supporting female protagonist in the drama.

She didn’t like the Host much of the time.

There was no big contradiction, since the war between girls was always baffling.

Because you were more popular than me, you were better looking than me, it could be a reason for our opposition.

“It’s been a long time, indeed.” Ming Shu smiled. “Did you go pad your nose?”

Hu Xin’s expression immediately changed and she scolded, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

She glanced around. Fortunately there were not many people nearby.

Ming Shu suggested, “Don’t go to that hospital next time, their technique is no good.”

Hu Xin almost reached out to touch her own nose.

Was it that obvious?

The woman noticed it right away?

Reason made Hu Xin calm down, and she snorted. “You’re almost out of showbiz, how dare you behave so arrogantly?”

“That’s why I should behave arrogantly now. When I’m entirely forced out, how can I show my arrogance then?”

Hu Xin: “…” She really made a point.

Pfft!

“Wen Di.” Hu Xin formed a cold smile. “It’s said you climbed up on the investor’s bed, destroyed other people’s family to be a mistress, is that true?”

“Are your breasts padded, too?”

“…”

Hu Xin’s expression was stiff; there was raging anger burning in her eyes.

“Don’t get mad, pay attention to your nose. It won’t look good if anger changes its shape.”

Hu Xin’s face darkened and she gritted her teeth. “Wen Di, don’t think you can be proud for long. We’ll just see!”

Ming Shu watched Hu Xin leave angrily.

Who didn’t have any black history?

I won’t be pissed off by you.

A little stupid.

The director stood nearby and called her. Ming Shu walked over and responded cleverly, “Director He.”

Director He’s expression was a little complicated. “I brought you into this showbiz.”

Director He was obviously aware of the recent news.

Ming Shu smiled delicately with her mouth closed; her eyes were clear just like the ignorant young girl in those days.

Director He remained silent for a moment, then spoke in an elderly tone, “Little Dizi, don’t let the outside world influence you. Just focus on your acting, you still have a long way to go.”

“Okay, Director He.”

“Have you read the script?”

“Yes.” Ming Shu received the phone call a few days ago and got the new script. She had read it once.

“As the leading female role, you’re going to have big changes in the early, middle, and late stages of your life. It’s a difficult role to play, and it’s a challenge for you. Little Dizi, I’m sure you won’t let me down.”

“No, I will not.” Ming Shu clenched her fist. “If I do it well, could I have drumsticks as a reward?”

“Pfft…”

Director He shook his head with a smile. He had expected her to be affected, even if not greatly influenced, at least be a little depressed by the rumors outside, but didn’t expect her to be so energetic.

Just like that lively young girl in those days…

Over the years, she walked higher and higher, and her temper had become a lot more restrained. He hadn’t seen her smile so happily in so long.

Director He made his promise. “If you do it well, I’ll buy you drumsticks.”

“Yeah~ For drumsticks!”

I will work hard!

I’m good at acting and all the drumsticks are mine!

…

The Fenghua was a Xianxia drama telling a story about immortals.

Ming Shu played the female protagonist. At the earlier stage, the female protagonist was an innocent, naive, and kind young girl; later, she discovered her true identity.

Meanwhile, the blood feuds of families between the male and female protagonists were also gradually torn apart: the tip of the iceberg.

The female protagonist at the early and late stage was quite different indeed.

She was torn between love and hatred.

This kind of show was actually quite a cliche, but the cliche was popular and the audience loved it.

The drama was just starting up and all parties were trying to make the co-adaptation.

The male protagonist’s schedule was still packed, so they would shoot the part involving the female protagonist and the supporting roles.

Ming Shu played the most parts.

Today’s scene was the first scene between Ming Shu and Hu Xin.

When they were in the crew, Hu Xin could be said to have spared no effort to pour dirt on her.

She aspired to the throne of the chief of her anti-fans.

“All units ready!”

Ming Shu and Hu Xin took their places. Hu Xin was wearing elegant clothes and delicate makeup, looking extremely immortal.

Ming Shu’s look was relatively fresh and partial to the cute and witty style.

Hu Xin looked down at Ming Shu disdainfully.

The director shouted action and Hu Xin adjusted her expression.

She looked her up and down with critical eyes. “You are Fenghua?”

Ming Shu’s smile was clever and somewhat lively. She was a quick-witted type at a glance.

She crossed her hands and made a salute that not particularly masterly. “Fenghua is here to see you, Fairy.”

Hu Xin’s eyes flashed and she suddenly raised her hand to strike Ming Shu.
