Chapter 104 Wu You: You're really asking for trouble, Wu You!
Mu Yi led everyone into the banquet hall, where almost everyone had already arrived.
The female lead in this drama is He Fan.
Besides Lu Chuan, there are two other actors who are currently very popular and rising stars.
The second female lead is also a currently popular young actress.
Even the supporting roles were filled by seasoned veteran actors.
It's safe to say that the cast alone has already generated a lot of anticipation for this drama.
"Director Mu."
"Director Mu~"
When Mu Yi walked in, everyone came over to greet him.
Mu Yi responded to everyone with a smile.
Walk to the front of the small hall.
"First of all, I want to thank everyone for participating in 'Ashes of the Moon'. I had already prepared the script for this play beforehand."
"But unfortunately, there has never been a suitable opportunity or trigger to start it."
"Now I have found the most suitable leading lady, who is the one behind me."
"Miss He."
He Fan smiled and nodded to everyone.
He Fan: Director Mu, you know, you've really made people feel embarrassed.
Mu Yi continued to say some polite words...
"I hope everyone will work hard in the next few months to make this drama a success."
"I also wish everyone can gain something from this drama and reach new heights."
A soft patter of applause rose from the audience, accompanied by whispers from those below.
"Yes, He Fan is not only our leading lady this time, but also our investor."
Mu Yi joked, "From now on, our crew's 'working conditions' will depend more on Investor He."
The applause from the audience became a bit more unified this time.
......
The people in the audience had different thoughts.
Although Yang Zhiyang, the second female lead, has not been in the industry for long, she has gained many fans due to her remarkable appearance.
In addition, she has formal training and her acting skills are quite good.
She has starred in many dramas featuring strong female leads in recent years.
Starring in this film was her final step towards becoming a star.
She was very dissatisfied with Director Mu's casting choices.
She has played the leading role in so many dramas, and the response has been very good.
This time, they're actually going to play a supporting role for an amateur who's never acted before?
If she were the female lead in this drama, her path to becoming a top-tier actress would be much more secure.
Just because He Fan is an artist that Kyushu Group wants to promote, she was able to bring her own investment to the production? And she's going to be the female lead?
Yang Zhiyang whispered to his assistant, "Director Mu is really getting old. He's even bowing down to capital now."
The assistant chimed in, "Yeah, an ordinary person, an internet celebrity, and she actually got to play the lead role."
Yang Zhiyang continued, "I wonder how good their acting is."
The assistant scoffed, "We'll know whether she's good or not once filming begins. Yang-jie will definitely outshine the female lead."
Yang Zhiyang didn't reply, but he was very pleased.
She's nothing more than a pretty face that's been chosen by capital.
Even if she becomes the female lead, she is destined to only be her own stepping stone.
He Fan didn't take her seriously.
After that introduction segment that terrified socially anxious people, Liu Qingqing had already taken Lu Chuan to meet his work colleagues.
After all, he had served as an intern chairman at Kyushu Group for a while.
Lu Chuan is now handling this situation with ease.
But aside from the actresses, the competition among the actors is equally fierce.
Right now, everyone probably sees Lu Chuan as a newcomer and is thinking about how to use him to make themselves stand out.
"I heard that Lu Chuan was brought in by that investor, Miss He."
"No wonder she's fully funded the production. Not only is she the female lead, but she can also bring in a second male lead with more screen time than the two of us."
"Who can blame them for being rich?"
"It's best if they don't hold us back."
The two second male leads huddled together and whispered to each other.
In short, few of the actors present truly believed in the acting skills of newcomers He Fan and Lu Chuan.
Only a few veteran actors, unafraid of being overshadowed by younger actors, or perhaps they were there as guest appearances to help Mu Yi.
Right now, she's chatting with He Fan about some trivial matters.
Wu You, on the other hand, was using his phone to record short videos.
They've mastered the tricks of internet celebrities to perfection; they look quite professional.
But this also drew a lot of disapproving looks.
Even worse was Yang Zhiyang's assistant.
She figured this person was just a junior assistant, so why was she wearing a formal dress and full makeup?
They're still taking pictures of me very rudely.
I guess these clothes were borrowed?
The assistant walked up to Wu You with a drink, pretending to get closer to her.
"Hi, are you Ms. He's assistant?"
Wu You was enjoying the newly served cakes immensely.
She didn't think much of it when the second female lead's assistant came over.
"Yes, you're Yang Zhiyang's assistant, right?"
That's incredibly rude. Is Yang Zhiyang the name you should be calling him?
He thought this to himself, but didn't show it on his face.
"Yes, we'll be working together for the next few months."
Wu You nodded: "Yes, this is my first time joining the crew with Sister Fan. I'll ask you if I don't understand anything in the future."
Yang Zhiyang's assistant seemed very happy: "Of course, no problem. We're both assistants, so we should definitely help each other."
Wu You continued eating without a care in the world.
While Wu You wasn't paying attention, Yang Zhiyang's assistant placed the cup, half-suspended in mid-air, next to Wu You's hand.
From this spot, if Wu You isn't careful, the water cup will fall to the ground.
"Sister Zhiyang called me, so I went over first."
Having said that, he ran off before Wu You could even reply.
When Wu You heard that the person was leaving, he naturally looked up and greeted them.
But as soon as he moved, he bumped into the water glass next to him.
Seeing the water glass about to fall, Wu You instinctively reached out to stop it.
If they hadn't stopped him, it would have been a problem, but by stopping him, the glass of juice was spilled all over Wu You's dress.
Wu You: "......"
Damn it!!! You really know how to use your hands, Wu You!!!
Wu You was annoyed; why was this cup left here?
He turned to look at the assistant who had just run away.
They seem to be in a real hurry to leave, but is it really such a coincidence?
Without any evidence, and with the other person claiming it wasn't intentional, there's nothing she can do.
Besides, it was indeed I who knocked over the cup.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck.
The departing assistant glanced at Wu You out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that Wu You dared not make a sound and silently wiped his clothes, he revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
This dress must have been borrowed from the company. When I went in to take a look, the embroidery on it was very exquisite, so it must have been a custom-made piece.
This is going to be quite a show.
He Fan is currently walking towards Wu You's location.
Seeing this, the assistant gave Yang Zhiyang a wink.
Having done these kinds of things so often, the two of them would develop a certain tacit understanding.
Although he didn't know what his assistant had done, Yang Zhiyang was still very keen on watching the excitement.
The two of them walked over there casually.
Wu You was still using a tissue to suck up the juice off her skirt.
Sister Xingzhou said that if the water gets wet, you must dry it off immediately.
This is the best way to protect the embroidery.
He Fan didn't pay attention to what she was fiddling with, and was about to tell her to go back to the hotel.
Then a gasp came from behind.
"Oh, Xiaoyou, how did you spill juice on your clothes?"
It was the voice of Yang Zhiyang's assistant.
He Fan listened and found it a bit...noisy?
Wu You then raised his head and looked at He Fan and the two people who had just arrived.
Before Wu You could speak...
"Oh my god, is this a high-end custom-made dress you borrowed from the brand? What are we going to do? We're probably going to lose a lot of money."
Wu You: "......"
He Fan: "......"
