Chapter 1311: Small Schemes
Luo Nianqing smiled as she accepted the gift. "Thank you, you’re very thoughtful. I really like this bag but it’s hard to buy; I asked the LV Director to reserve it for me but I won’t be able to get it until the end of the year."
"But I’m sorry, I didn’t expect you to come, so I didn’t prepare a meeting gift for you. In a few days, I’ll see what you like and make it up to you."
Su Niannian immediately waved her hand, saying it was unnecessary. Even though her heart was bleeding for this limited edition bag, she still gave an especially sweet smile.
She asked, "It seems like the next scene is between you and me. I’d like to go over the lines with you beforehand, is that okay?"
Luo Nianqing happily agreed, "Sure."
After rehearsing the scene, Su Niannian was called away by the Director.
The smile on Luo Nianqing’s face quickly faded away, and Yun Qiluo came over, curious, "Do you know her?"
Seeing Yun Qiluo, the smile on Luo Nianqing’s face became much more sincere, she nodded, "Yeah, I’ve interacted with her on a variety show before, but we’re not very familiar."
Yun Qiluo: "..."
Not very familiar yet so comfortable to chat like this, the entertainment circle is really complex.
And Su Niannian even gave her such an expensive gift, you could tell she was feeling the pinch.
Is she trying to curry favor with Luo Nianqing?
Does Luo Nianqing have some impressive background?
Since joining the group, it seems that many people in the crew are quite afraid of Luo Nianqing; even the Director and producer have been particularly nice to her.
Yun Qiluo was a bit curious, but she wasn’t a person with a strong curiosity unless Big Flower or Erhua were involved, she would definitely be intrigued, but when it comes to people, she has no interest in asking about others’ affairs.
For the next two days, besides filming, Su Niannian was busy flattering the Director and producer of the crew, making everyone quite pleased.
After all, she’s just an actress without any particularly prominent background, so she needs to build relationships and maintain her image, thus she wasn’t stupid enough to openly target Yun Qiluo, maintaining a façade of peace during filming.
However, behind the scenes, she still tried to outshine Yun Qiluo.
This is a martial arts drama, with Su Niannian playing the female leader of the Demon Sect, the main antagonist throughout, while Yun Qiluo plays Xue Yao, the female assassin trained by Su Niannian.
In the early stages, the two have quite a few collaborative scenes.
During filming, Su Niannian would try to steal the spotlight and disrupt Yun Qiluo’s rhythm.
After dealing with previous difficulties from Lan Xinxin, Yun Qiluo was unfazed by such antics, and her response was deft and unbothered. Plus, she had impressive line recitation skills; she could memorize lines after reading the script twice. Hoping for her to make a mistake in reciting lines was impossible.
Su Niannian’s actions ironically made the Director appreciate Yun Qiluo even more, praising her several times for her composure under pressure.
Over a few days, even the usually stern producer and assistant directors noticed Yun Qiluo’s performance.
They easily recognized that this new actress not only had a talent for acting but also a personality even more endearing than her looks, making people naturally inclined to like her, and many gave her extra care.
Even the big director and some veteran actors took some free time to teach Yun Qiluo some techniques.
Su Niannian had spent half her time in the crew buttering up everyone but it turned out to be less effective than Yun Qiluo’s unintended charm offensive.
Including Luo Nianqing, who Su Niannian had always tried to win over, was indifferent to her but seemed a bit kinder to Yun Qiluo.
This caused Su Niannian several times to grit her teeth, wishing she could tear Yun Qiluo apart.
The weather was hot that day, with temperatures soaring up to thirty-five degrees. The actors and staff were still filming under the scorching sun.
