Chapter 588: Western Scenery

sat down with her computer, reviewing her investigation from the past few days. She made sure everything was accurate before shutting it down.The other day, she was on a business trip to Qining. She...The director's expression was as if he were explaining it specifically to Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao chuckled twice, then said in a cool and composed voice: "Director, the investor for our drama is Tingjing Finance, right Gu's Dongyang Film shouldn't have participated, right"

The underlying meaning is that you know who your benefactor is, how could you turn against him Especially this morning on the set, letting Gu Ruandong run wild is wrong.

He sounded very confident when he said that, as if it was a matter of course.

The director didn't mind, having been in the industry for a long time, he had seen all kinds of actors. YaoYao was relatively polite when speaking, so she changed the subject: The crew next door is reportedly going to start filming again.

Prior to this, due to Xu Zhao's issues, the film crew was also implicated, the female lead couldn't come to film, and the entire crew was in a state of stagnation.

Lu YaoYao was taken aback and asked, "Is Xu Zhao back to film"

The assistant director said, "It should be. I haven't heard anything about changing the female lead."

The director and assistant director both admire the other crew's courage.

Matters concerning the Xu family are not allowed to be discussed on many platforms, and discussing them too much can result in being kicked out of groups. Therefore, Xu Zhao's personal image has been severely damaged.

But the neighboring film crew has not removed their female lead, they just keep an eye on public opinion and reviews. Although something happened to Xu Zhao's family, she has always been very low-key in the industry and her reputation is good. It can be said that since her debut, she has almost zero negative reviews. Moreover, she has never publicized any of her family background, relying only on one work after another to establish herself in the entertainment industry. Therefore, fans still firmly support her, saying that misfortune doesn't befall family members, what era is it now Are we still going to punish the innocent by association

The play has already been filmed for three

It's half the way through filming, and if we replace the actress now, not only would it be hard to find a suitable replacement, but the cost of reshooting everything would also be too high. So the production team from the neighboring set decided to take a gamble and asked Xu Zhao to return to their set.

For some reason, when she heard Xu Zhao was back to filming, she felt a sense of relief.

Although she'd always lost arguments to Xu Zhao since childhood, even viewing him as a rival in every aspect of life, this competitive attitude stemmed from: you can't be better than me, but I also don't want to see you doing badly.

All in all, hearing that Xu Zhao was going back to the film set to act made her happier than she had expected.

After dinner, I returned to my room and saw a message from Gu Ruandong. He said he had something urgent to attend to and had to go on a business trip, but he would be back soon.

She finished reading but didn't reply.

For the next two days, Gu Ruandong didn't come back, but he still reported his itinerary to her every day. He wasn't in Beijing or Senzhou, but in a relatively backward city in the west.

A strange itinerary, but Lu Yao didn't mind. After all, his business was spread across the country, so going on a business trip to remote places was normal.

Soon, the neighboring film crews began working.

Lu Yaoyao woke up early and saw Xu Xiao and her agent, assistant packing their luggage in the opposite room. The door was open for ventilation, and the hotel cleaner was tidying up.

Xu Zhao also happened to go out and saw Lu YaoYao, smiling and greeting: "YaoYao, long time no see."

Lu Yaoyao thought to herself, where there was a long time, only a month or so.

Looking at Xu Zhao again, he was just as cheerful, confident, and generous as before, without any sign of depression due to the sudden change in his family.

Ghostly as it may seem, Lu Yaoyao blurted out, "Need a hand with anything"

Xu Zhao glanced at her and smiled: "You..."

"Miss, what can I do for you Would you like me to clean or cook"

Lu Yaoyao stopped speaking. This person's words were truly unpleasant to hear.

"But right now, there's actually something I need your help with." Xu Zhao said again.

"What can I do for you" she asked.

"Excuse me, you're blocking my way," Xu Zhao said with a smile.

Lu Yao yao took one look and realized she was standing right in front of Xu Zhao's room, blocking her way. She stepped aside, feeling a little foolish standing there in front of Xu Zhao.

Actually, she had put herself in the situation. If something happened to the Lu family and she had no one to rely on, she might feel like the sky was falling. She couldn't even imagine it, let alone be as strong as Xu Zhao.

In this regard, she admired Xu Zhao.

At this moment, Xu Zhao, who had already walked far away, suddenly turned back to look at her and said, "Yaoyao, don't idolize me too much."

Lu Yaoyao's moment of admiration just vanished, and Xu Zhao was back to treating her like a child, teasing her again. He was still so annoying.

Xu Zhao's script was finished before hers, but because of a delay of over a month in the middle, their progress is now about the same. As for Lu Yaoyao, the competitive mentality she initially had when taking on this drama has completely vanished. Now, she simply enjoys the script and wants to do a good job with it, so whether she wins or loses is no longer important.

Gu Ruandong spent a week in the western city. Probably because he had been staying in the same place, he stopped reporting his itinerary and instead sent her scenic photos. There were highlands, mountains, and rivers.

He said, "Yaoyao, today we are at the lowest elevation on the plateau. The scenery is beautiful, and there are many wild fruits. When you have time, I will take you here for a trip. This altitude should be suitable for you and won't cause any oxygen deficiency."

He said, “Yao Yao,”

That red house with the pointy roof on the other side of the river is where I'm visiting this time.

Lu Yaoyao endured for three days without replying. Later, out of curiosity, she wondered what this busy man was doing there. It was completely out of character for him, so she couldn't help but ask: "What did you go there to do"

He didn't answer, but immediately sent a video call request. She hung up, and he sent another one. Reluctantly, she answered, but he didn't speak and turned the camera away from himself.

Gu Ruandong's camera wasn't pointed at himself, it was facing the scenery outside. He was in a very open space.

"Yao Yao, in the distance are snow-capped mountains. Can you see them"

Lu Yaoyao didn't answer. In the distance, snow-capped mountains seemed to be shrouded in wispy clouds, bringing a sense of coolness to her despite the sweltering summer heat.

“I came here to enjoy the scenery and will probably go back the day after tomorrow.” He proactively reported his itinerary.

He wants to make a military-themed film in the form of a documentary. So coming here for on-site research is one reason. The bigger reason is that an old soldier he contacted before fell ill and won't last long, so he called him over quickly to give him relevant materials and objects. He rushed over from the set.

These days, besides going out to enjoy the scenery, I've spent most of my time at the veteran's house, listening to him recall his stirring years and little bits and pieces from his time in the army.

As the veteran neared the end of his life, he had his final portrait taken. With his family's consent, it would be included in his military-themed film after post-production.

Lu Yaoyao let out an "oh" and then hung up the video call, never showing her face to him. She couldn't help but wonder if he was really serious about switching careers to become a director

Is investing in a movie require you to act yourself Lu Yaoyao couldn't figure out what he was thinking. to be done over the next few days. Then she called Aunt Liu to inform her that she would be going on a business trip temporarily and asked her to take care of the children. Finally, she called Yi Mu...
