Chapter 1350: Press Conference
After this little fuss, Yun Qiluo became a bit more popular, and her fan count increased quite a bit.
Regarding the second female lead’s script, the director has already figured out how to handle it. The new second female lead joined the team quickly.
It’s the original choice for the second female lead, the one who initially cited health issues as the reason for not coming. That is, the second female lead the director’s team originally favored.
At first, Su Niannian used some method to snatch the role, and who would’ve thought that after all the twists and turns, the role came back to this actress.
This actress isn’t from the same age group as Yun Qiluo and Luo Nianqing; she’s seven or eight years older than them, a senior of theirs who looks young but is very skilled and has a good personality.
Yun Qiluo worked with her for a few days, and their filming went quite well.
Soon, she received news from the previous film group about a press conference, set in Shanghai, inviting her to come over.
If other actors in the film group have special announcements to attend, they can take leave, but as a newcomer, Yun Qiluo has never taken leave before, so this time she had no choice but to inform the director.
The director thought it over briefly, then waved his hand magnanimously: "Alright, go ahead, just as the scenes here are almost shot. When you finish, you can directly join the group in Rong City."
So Yun Qiluo packed her things and arrived in Shanghai the night before the press conference.
She had informed her troublemaking group about the press conference earlier, and several of them, who were on business nearby, said they would come to see her. Yun Qiluo hadn’t seen them in a while, and was quite looking forward to meeting them.
Although Shanghai is somewhat far from the Imperial City, it certainly isn’t one of those remote places no one visits. As a top-tier big city, several members of the troublemaking group have many businesses here; for example, Fu Lifei and Young Master Mao frequently travel between Imperial City and Shanghai, so bumping into them is no problem.
It’s only been a month since the film group wrapped up, and even the post-production editing has been completed and sent for review—a surprisingly quick pace, which Yun Qiluo hadn’t expected.
Upon arriving, Xue Fan personally came to pick her up, took her and other actors from the film group to dinner. Though they hadn’t met for a long time, they felt no distance.
Xue Fan kept asking her all sorts of questions, especially about the Su Niannian incident. Even knowing she wasn’t hurt, Xue Fan couldn’t help but feel tense for her.
After Yun Qiluo reassured him, she asked, "By the way, Director Xue, why is our film releasing so quickly? It’s already time for the press conference."
"That’s Mr. Yan’s request. Didn’t he tell you?" Xue Fan noticed her bewildered expression, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don’t know the exact reason, maybe he’s thinking it’s better to release early to catch the summer break?"
When Yun Qiluo heard it was Yan Yan’s request, she suddenly felt she vaguely understood something.
Could it be that the beautiful woman knew that she wanted to use the TV series to find her biological parents, so he pushed the group to speed up progress?
She blinked her eyes, suddenly feeling quite cheerful.
"Then let’s release it a bit earlier."
"I also have that thought. Anyway, releasing it early is never wrong, plus the schedule is well arranged, so it won’t clash with other summer blockbusters."
Xue Fan chatted with her some more about things in the film industry, asked if she’d improved her acting skills, and it wasn’t until eleven at night that he let her go.
Yun Qiluo ate until her belly was round, went back to the hotel, and started a video call with Yan Yan.
Today, Yan Yan was on a business trip abroad, so he couldn’t come to Shanghai, but a video call sufficed.
