Chapter 644: Yun Xiangxiang’s Confusion
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“How are things with Xu Chen?”Yun Xiangxiang could only change the topic.
Xu Chen’s management company was also in Beijing. Since she had already handed it over to He Wei, she did not bother song Mian.
“It’s a little strange. Things have been going on for so long, but he actually hides at home every day. He orders takeout for his daily meals and does not interact with any outsiders.”He Wei felt that this did not seem like Xu Chen.
“That’s impossible. For someone like him, it’s abnormal for him to not be hysterical after something like this has happened.”Yun Xiangxiang firmly rejected Xu Chen’s appearance. If he had been a little more magnanimous, he wouldn’t have fallen for Xu Chen’s trap.
Moreover, his life had been ruined. He had fallen from heaven to h.e.l.l in an instant. With such a huge psychological fall, if there weren’t any special people or things that could stabilize him, it was impossible for him not to explode.
“After he came back from the company, he never left his house.”This was the truth. Because Xu Chen’s matter was more serious, if an innocent person were to be implicated, Yun Xiangxiang would definitely feel guilty. Therefore, he Wei’s men were very reliable, however, Yun Xiangxiang’s concerns were in line with his thoughts. “Someone must have stabilized him when he was in the company.”
He Wei still remembered that the person he sent said that Xu Chen did not resist at all throughout the whole process. Although he was a little depressed and in a sorry state, he did not look like a walking corpse as he returned home.
Although she had a bad impression of Chu Chen, Yun Xiangxiang did not immediately suspect him. He Wei said that there would not be any mistakes. After comforting Yun Xiangxiang, he hung up the phone.
Yun Xiangxiang went to the production team the next day and heard Wei Shanwen say to her, “Do you have other grudges with Chu Chen in private?”
“No, I haven’t seen him. We are a male actor and a female actor. There is no conflict in resources.”Yun Xiangxiang was a little confused by Wei Shanwen’s sudden question.
“He has his eyes on Yan Zhenben’s role again.”Wei shanwen touched his chin thoughtfully. “I can’t think of what made him so persistent with our production team.”
The production team didn’t force Xu Chen’s company to pay much compensation either. Everything was done according to the normal procedure and loss estimates. Even if it was put on the table, the industry insiders had to say that they were loyal.
Chu Chen’s side didn’t manage to get Lu Jin’s role, and now he wanted to approach Yan Zhenben’s role under the excuse of guilt. Moreover, it was a free guest appearance.
If Yan Zhenben’s role had not been changed after discussion with Lu Jin yesterday, Wei Shanwen, the producer, and the scriptwriter were all present. They all felt that Lu Jin’s suggestion was very good and accepted Lu Jin’s suggestion. They were afraid that they would have agreed.
After all, with the addition of two movie superstar, Yun Xiangxiang’s status, and Wei Shanshan’s popularity, this lineup was really strong.
Chu Chen was a step too late. They had already promised Lu Jin that they would work together with Lu Jin. How could they offend Lu Jin for Chu Chen’s sake? Moreover, Yun Xiangxiang had recommended Yan Zhenben. If that happened, they would offend both the male and female lead.
The production team could only reject the role because it was not suitable for Chu Chen after Lu Jin had changed the script. They also expressed that they were not dissatisfied with Chu Chen and the company. They only hung up after saying that they would like to work together more in the future.
Yun Xiangxiang did not say anything behind the scenes. Wei shanwen only kindly reminded Yun Xiangxiang that she had once confessed that she was not on good terms with Chu Chen.
After all, because of Yun Xiangxiang, his satisfaction with the film was getting higher and higher. This could be considered as returning the favor.
“Could it be that he is determined to compete with brother Jin?”During the break, Yun Xiangxiang told Wei Shanshan about this matter and asked her to give it to the staff officer.
Wei Shanshan’s first reaction was this. After all, the nature of the two characters was obvious.
Shen congxin’s final owners.h.i.+p was Yan Zhenben’s role. Chu Chen could be considered to have won against Lu Jin. At the same time, he was here to make a guest appearance as a friend. He did not receive any pay, so it was not considered to be degrading.
“No.”Yun Xiangxiang felt that something was not right. “This matter has been going on for so long. Why do you think he took so long to ask for this role?”
It had been half a month since he failed to get the male lead role. Why didn’t he turn to take the role of Yan Zhenben at that time? He could have saved some momentum for himself.
“That’s true. Could it have been a spur-of-the-moment idea?”Wei Shanshan could not understand Chu Chen’s thoughts either.
“Do you think he looks like a spur-of-the-moment person?”Yun Xiangxiang felt that Chu Chen had definitely pa.s.sed the stage of impulsiveness if he could reach his current position.
“Then what is his operation and what is his purpose?”Wei Shanshan felt that she was confused by Yun Xiangxiang’s words.
“He probably doesn’t have enough time, so he purposely went to finish other work during this period of time. When he had some free time, he thought of this role again.”Yun Xiangxiang stood in Chu Chen’s position and thought carefully.
Chu Chen was not an ordinary person. His status determined that his script and various commercial activities could fill up his entire year’s schedule, unless he was like Lu Jin, deliberately not taking any breaks.
However, Chu Chen was a well-known model worker and hard-working third son in the circle, so he could not be like Lu Jin.
Then, Yun Xiangxiang had to think deeply. Was Chu Chen really doing this because he just happened to be free, or was he deliberately freeing up his time for this role.
If it was the former, it would not be a big deal, but if it was the latter, it would be a little hard to figure out.
What made him make such a huge sacrifice just for such a cameo?
The reason why he didn’t say anything before was probably because he didn’t want them to think that he, Chu Chen, insisted on staying in the production team.
He understood even more clearly that with his status, if he wanted to get such a role, a free cameo would be the dream of countless production teams.
Even if Wei Shanwen and the others had not promised Lu Jin before, Yun Xiangxiang would only know when Chu Chen arrived.
The cast and crew would reduce the number of staff, increase the number of staff, and change roles. These were things that would rarely be notified to the actors, unless it was a particularly important role. For example, Yan Zhenben’s role was not necessary.
Yun Xiangxiang could not understand, Wei Shanwen could not understand, and even Chu Chen’s agent could not understand.
In the luxurious villa where Chu Chen was located in Beijing, chu Chen’s agent was also extremely angry. “I know you have your own opinions and are not impulsive, but can we have a discussion? The last time you took advantage of Yun Xiangxiang’s popularity, it was already very demeaning. Why do you still want to go over to her side this time?”
If it was not for the fact that he had worked with Chu Chen for more than ten years and knew Chu Chen very well, Chu Chen was not l.u.s.tful. He even suspected that Chu Chen and Xu Chen had taken a liking to Yun Xiangxiang’s beauty!
A slender figure stood in front of the French window. The Man with a tall figure held a gla.s.s of red wine in his hand. His deep peach blossom eyes looked at the blooming flowers outside the window without saying a word.
When Chu Chen’s agent saw his appearance, he could not help but feel discouraged. Everyone envied an agent with a big-name actor, but who knew that they would be helpless!
