Chapter 1 The Actor She Likes

A year ago.

A private cafe is located in Binhu New District, Qingjiang City. The entrance is full of crew cars. Today, the crew is filming here.

There are many staff on the scene, complex and chaotic. The assistant director is already clearing the scene. The next scene will be officially started. The scene where the male protagonist and the second male protagonist meet and have a conflict.

The agent, Brother Chao, took advantage of the last moment to walk to Shi Jun and leaned into his ear and said, "We should make progress faster, otherwise we might not be able to catch up with the award ceremony tonight."

Shi Jun's eyes were slightly cold, and he signaled the person not far away with his eyes. He was his opponent actor in today's scene, Xu Chen. Shi Jun naturally knew that he would end the filming as soon as possible, as long as the opponent could cooperate well.

Unfortunately, he and Xu Chen, the first and second male leads of the same drama, were still in a state of disagreement even though the drama was close to the end of the filming. The root of all this can even be traced back to college. Xu Chen was one year lower than Shi Jun and was considered his junior brother. When he was in college, Shi Jun was a celebrity in the school because of his outstanding appearance and professional ability. After Xu Chen entered the school, he was also very popular and always regarded Shi Jun as his strong rival, and continued this emotion until after graduation.

When they first graduated, the two worked together in a small-budget online drama. Shi Jun was the male lead, and Xu Chen could barely be considered the third male lead. Despite this, Xu Chen had already begun to show signs of separation from Shi Jun everywhere, and would quietly trip him up when they were playing against each other. But at that time, the two had few opportunities to play against each other, but Shi Jun had already taken care of it.

In this drama, Xu Chen is the second male lead, and he has many more rivalries with Shi Jun. The usual small moves are still the same. Just like in the scene just now, he stuck to the words and laughed. A simple scene has been tossed back and forth for five or six times. Even the director was a little unhappy, but it is hard to say it too harshly. Face is left to the investors.

Xu Chen, who was originally unknown in the 18th tier, has recently been supported by a film and television company. Their company invested a lot of money in this drama. If it weren't for another larger investor who insisted on letting Shi Jun be the male lead, they would probably want to take the position of the protagonist even if they wanted to take it.

Seeing Brother Chao sighing helplessly, Shi Jun patted his arm and whispered: "You go and talk to the director and say we are going to rush for the event. If we still can't finish shooting next, let's take a photo of my personal shot alone, and move the medium and panoramic shots to the next time."

This is actually what Brother Chao means, but it is definitely necessary to ask the boss's meaning. His boss is never vague in terms of professionalism, but the premise is that the opponent can respect each other enough. Today's things are with the other party, and it is impossible for them to waste time here to accommodate him.

Before Brother Chao left, Shi Jun instructed: "Let Chen Jia buy drinks, and we will ask the whole group to drink water."

In terms of carefulness and comprehensiveness, even Chao Ge has to admire the boss in this regard.

As soon as Brother Chao left, the stylist came over. As soon as he helped Shi Jun sort out the details of his hairstyle, he heard the assistant director shouting in the speaker: "Come on, I'm ready to start shooting!"

As another protagonist of this scene, Xu Chen also entered the picture.

The scene that is about to be filmed is the second male lead played by Xu Chen who came to the male lead to sue because of a misunderstanding. There is a move of a water cup pouring on the male lead. According to the script design, the male lead avoided it.

However, based on Shi Jun's understanding of Xu Chen, this scene may not be so smooth.

Xu Chen had already sat opposite Shi Jun. He picked up the water cup, his smile obviously had no kindness, and said in a voice that was almost the two of them could hear: "Senior brother, if I accidentally throw it in the wrong place later, don't mind."

Shi Jun looked at him coldly and replied with a meaningful smile: "It's easy to say, it's all for work."

After the scene is completely cleared, the shooting officially begins.

This time, Xu Chen had neither laughed nor had any lines stuck, and everything seemed to be going well.

Then, it is the action of splashing water.

When walking, the director teaches to splash Shi Jun's shoulders so that Shi Jun's face will not be splashed by water, and the whole plot can be completed. Because the script is also set in this way, it is impossible to have such a scene that the male protagonist is splashed with water.

But Xu Chen picked up the water cup and before he started, he clearly showed a provocative look.

"Wow..." A glass of water was completely poured on his face.

Shi Jun was quick-eyed and his hands quickly pushed back, blocking the cup back, and half of it was poured on Xu Chen's face and body.

"Card!" the director shouted a pause quickly.

Before Xu Chen could attack, Shi Jun stood up first and shouted to assistant Chen Jia: "Hurry up, bring the tissue!"

After saying that, he turned around and apologized to Xu Chen: "I'm sorry, I'm conditioned reflex, and I subconsciously blocked it."

There were still water droplets hanging on Xu Chen's face and hair, and his face turned pale with anger: "You!"

Xu Chen's agent also ran over quickly and quickly took tissues to help him wipe, but the makeup and clothes were ruined, and it was useless to wipe it alone. The agent wiped it a few times and gave up. Huo Da said: "Teacher Shi, what's going on? According to the script, I want you to hide for a while, and I didn't say that you would fight back!"

Shi Jun was yelled by her, and the guilt on his face had disappeared. He smiled and said innocently: "What the script says is to splash it on the shoulder, and it doesn't say it to splash it on the face. Something hits in front of you. The first reaction of a person is to raise his hand to dodge. I'm just a conditioned reflex. At most, the dodging movement is a little bigger, I'm sorry."

Assistant Chen Jia also ran over now. Xu Chen's embarrassed look was really funny. She tried hard to hold back and didn't laugh out loud. She only said to her boss: "Brother Jun, Brother Chao has communicated with the director. Today your scene will be filmed here. The unfinished part will be filmed again."

According to Xu Chen's current situation, it was too time-consuming to put on makeup and dry clothes, so he naturally had no choice but to tacitly allow the two to move the opponent's scene before filming.

Shi Jun signaled to Chen Jia: "You pack up your things first, and I'll come later."

Before leaving, he looked back at Xu Chen and said with a gentle smile: "I remembered that there seemed to be a scene in which I sealed your collar and hit you on the ground with one punch. Since you called me a senior brother, I remember when I was studying, the teachers taught us to really listen, see, and feel, so we can't let the teacher down, what do you think?"

Xu Chen gritted his teeth and pursed his lips. Because he was inappropriate, he did not dare to attack.

His agent said from the cracks of his teeth: "Teacher Shi, leave a thread in everything you do."

Shi Jun looked at her and put away the smile on his lips: "I'll give this sentence to you too."

Before leaving, he did not forget to add: "Of course, you can also ask the investor to modify the script and delete the subsequent scene, once and for all." Anyway, it is a routine operation for them.

The environment in the entertainment industry is mixed. He has been filming silently for so many years and has met people like Xu Chen, but he has also met many kind seniors and dedicated opponent actors. He uses different attitudes to deal with different people, and of course he will not let others control it at will. But he has no background. If he hadn't been lucky, the drama he recently broadcast suddenly became popular, and the filming of this drama is coming to an end now. I'm afraid Xu Chen wouldn't give up easily.

Although he is only 27 years old, this is still a golden age for a person who is determined to be an actor, but sometimes he feels a little bored when dealing with this complicated circle. After all, when he entered the entertainment industry, he did not like it from his heart, but because of life.
