Xu Xiuzhu raised his hand and greeted Murong Qiao. His greeting was very natural as he pointed in the direction he had come from.
“Let’s talk as we walk. An Nuo is filming, so I’m the one who came to pick you up.”
Murong Qiao nodded and followed Xu Xiuzhu in the other direction.
Xu Qiuzhu was clearly familiar with this path. It seemed that he had walked it a few times.
“I’m in charge of the theme song for the film that An Nuo is acting in. I’m also here to report to the director this time, so I came over.” Xu Xiuzhu explained the reason for his appearance here.
She had just won an award and her popularity had not decreased much. An Nuo’s production team could be said to have taken advantage of her popularity this time.
Moreover, after Xu Xiuzhu saw the plot and requirements of this drama, he was also very interested. In addition, the other conditions were discussed quite well. The two sides could be said to have reached a happy cooperation.
Murong Qiao asked, “How’s An Nuo?”
“Not bad, I think? At least she didn’t need to do too many retakes.” Xu Xiuzhu was an outsider and didn’t know much about acting.
The evaluation was average. Fortunately, Murong Qiao didn’t really think much of it. It all came down to An Nuo’s state of mind. She only knew that the other party didn’t make any mistakes, so she gradually relaxed.
After the two of them walked away, Kelly walked out of the supermarket slowly, still holding the bottle of water she had just picked up.
This time, she had learned to pay by scanning the QR code. However, after paying the bill, she couldn’t find Murong Qiao.
Although the boss didn’t understand what Kelly was saying, she could tell that the other party was looking for that person just now.
She could see Murong Qiao leaving with another boy when she went out just now.
But Kelly walked out with the water. When she went out, she looked around but couldn’t find Murong Qiao. She looked at the water in her hand in disappointment and sighed slightly.
First, she saw Xu Xiuzhu, then she talked about An Nuo. Murong Qiao forgot about Kelly and didn’t think about her at all.
The production team’s location was not too far from the supermarket. They arrive in about 10 minutes.
Due to the tight security measures, there were some issues. Murong Qiao didn’t bring any identification doc.u.ments when she came. Fortunately, Xu Xiuzhu was present this time, so after the two of them communicated for a moment, Murong Qiao received the opportunity to enter the film location.
When she entered, they were clearly still filming inside. Without even seeing what was happening inside, Murong Qiao could already hear the director’s guidance and the noise of the staff working everywhere.
“Looks like they’re still busy. Why don’t we go to the dressing room and wait for a while?” Xu Xiuzhu had clearly seen this scene before, so he brought Murong Qiao to the side and also took the opportunity to put on his makeup.
At this moment, there were very few actors outside preparing to film in the dressing room. Other than a few makeup artists packing up, there was only one person sitting on a chair and staring at her cell phone.
As if hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the person looked up.
Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows in surprise and recognized her. “Gu Yan?”
If she remembered correctly, she had met the other party once during the award ceremony. However, she didn’t know her. After all, she had only met her a few times from afar and didn’t even talk to her.
“h.e.l.lo.” The other party was unexpectedly friendly. She even waved her hand and put down her phone to look at them, smiling at them.
Murong Qiao and Xu Xiuzhu nodded one after another, then each found a seat.
The treatment of the production team was not bad. The air conditioner in the dressing room was turned on, and cold air kept coming out. It very well eliminated the restlessness brought about by the hot weather and calmed people down.
“I didn’t have the time to congratulate your company previously.” Gu Yan had a good impression of Murong Qiao.
After all, Gu Yan had s.n.a.t.c.hed the resources of her sworn enemy. Everytime she thought of Yan Ming’s terrible expression and the fact that she had even picked up a bargain, Gu Yan felt happy.
It was said that the enemy of an enemy was a friend. This sentence fell on Gu Yan and Murong Qiao.
Seeing that Guo Yan was so friendly, Xu Xiuzhu turned to look at his boss and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if asking silently if the two of them knew each other.
Murong Cao nodded vaguely. “If not for her true talent, I’m afraid she wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity.”
“That’s true.” Gu Yan nodded in agreement. She also admired Xu Xiuzhu.
Unexpectedly Gu Yan and Murong Qiao both seemed to be very good conversationalists. After a few simple words, they changed the topic to Xu Xiuzhu, who was sitting at the side, and pulled him to partic.i.p.ate in their conversation.
“Speaking of which, I remember that the MV of your new song seems to need a female lead. Do you have a candidate now?” Gu Yan asked casually.
Xu Xiuzhu had been planning the music video for his new song recently and had not told many people for the time being. Therefore, after hearing the other party’s question, he revealed a slightly surprised expression and shook his head calmly.
There were indeed no secrets in the circle. It was indeed time for a new song to be released for a period of time. However, Xu Xiuzhu was still a little surprised by Gu Yan’s intelligence.
“To be honest, I really want to recommend myself,” Gu Yan joked.
She looked at Xu Xiuzhu with a hint of seriousness, but this seriousness was taken away quickly.
“But unfortunately, I’m old enough to be called an aunt by children.”
She shook her head and looked at the night with some regret.
Murong Qiao looked at her still beautiful face and belatedly thought of herself. It was only when she occasionally saw the information in the company that she remembered that Gu Yan was already in her early thirties.
To a woman, being in her early thirties was nothing, but to a female celebrity in the entertainment industry, this was already an age where she was about to retire.
Fortunately, actors didn’t need to stay youthful forever. There were mature roles that they could play as well. That was why Gu Yan could appear here to talk to them face to face.
“Teacher Gu Yan, it’s your turn.” A staff member suddenly knocked on the door outside to inform them.
The conversation between the three of them could only end here. It was a pity that it ended.
When Gu Yan heard this, he hurriedly stood up and patted the wrinkles on her clothes. At the same time, she gestured goodbye to Murong Qiao and Xu Xiuzhu. “Then I’ll go to the production team first.”
They probably done filming the other scene. The next scene happened to be Gu Yan’s turn.
Not long after she walked out, the door of the dressing room was pushed open by An Nuo. She couldn’t wait to find a seat and sit down, feeling the coolness of the room.
“Filming in this weather is really torturous…” An Nuo took a deep breath. When she felt the cold air conditioning in the room blow against her face, she felt as if she had been reborn.
When she slowed down a little, she saw Xu Xiuzhu and Murong Qiao sitting there and immediately smiled happily.
“When did the two of you arrive? Why didn’t you tell me? I was filming just now and didn’t notice.” An Nuo looked vexed.
Murong Qiao didn’t feel that it was of any help. She even reached out to help her pull off the outermost layer of clothes to make her feel better. “I just came not long ago. I saw that you were filming, so I didn’t take the initiative to disturb you.”
“If not for the fact that the weather was too hot and my makeup was ruined, I would have ended it long ago.” An Nuo pouted..
