PDLP Chapter 63: The Crew of "Red Cloud General Li"
Chapter 63: The Crew of "Red Cloud General Li"
A week of study time passed in the blink of an eye.
In the days that followed, Jiang Songchu's study life became even more fulfilling.
This week, Jiang Songchu received an even greater stream of study notes, including not only boys but also many girls.
Jiang Songchu took the notes with a mix of amusement and exasperation, and buried himself in studying them in the study room every day.
The next day, she would neatly organize her notes and those given to her by her classmates, and place them on the empty table at the back of the classroom for other students to borrow.
Now, that empty desk has become a gathering place for study notes, which every student can freely borrow and study.
Thus, the learning atmosphere in Class 3 of Grade 11 reached its peak.
On Friday, Chen Yun and Aman arrived at No. 39 Middle School on time.
Although many livestreamers and paparazzi were still staking out the school gate, Chen Yun had already spoken to the school leaders after learning from her previous experience.
Aman drove his newly registered car smoothly into the school parking lot and picked up Jiang Songchu.
This time, Jiang Songchu left the school without any hindrance and embarked on her journey to Nanguan City.
Traffic was heavy in the city, with traffic lights changing frequently.
The distance from No. 39 Middle School to Nanguan City is not far, only about 70 or 80 kilometers.
However, since Jiang Songchu's school dismissal time coincided with the evening rush hour, the traffic situation in the city was somewhat congested.
However, once you leave the city and get on the highway, everything becomes clear and the roads are unobstructed.
Just an hour and a half later, Jiang Songchu and his group arrived safely at Yanling Mountain Film and Television City.
Oman had already booked rooms for them at the hotel within the film studio in advance.
After quickly checking in, the three of them went to the hotel restaurant for a simple meal.
After the meal, they rested briefly before rushing to the film set.
Along the way, Chen Yun once again discussed the general situation of the TV series with Jiang Songchu in detail.
The TV series produced by Hongtian Entertainment is titled "Red Clouds and Glass," a currently popular IP-based female-centric work.
Furthermore, with the talented director Lin Qian personally directing, many female stars in the entertainment industry dream of playing this role.
Director Lin Qian is in his thirties and is one of the best among the new generation of directors.
He is a typical rich second-generation, with money and free time, but also very talented. With his talent and hard work, he has made a name for himself in the directing world.
He loved filming, and later began to systematically study directing after a low-budget online work became a hit. He then solidified his position in the directing world with one popular TV series after another.
Many male and female stars have become famous through Lin Qian's TV dramas, including Bai Ye'er, the leading lady of Hongtian Entertainment.
Jiang Songchu suddenly remembered that at the Yuegou Tiandi event, the mall's customer service had introduced the popular TV series "Yin Jiuxiao," which was directed by Lin Qian, and the female lead Yue Qingge, who became famous throughout Tianrong, was played by Bai Ye'er.
The female lead, Chi Jiangli, in "Red Cloud Jiang Li" is played by Qiao Yi, a second-tier actress.
Known for her elegant and refined appearance, she was in the prime of her career and desperately needed a good project to help her rise to the top tier of stars. Therefore, it was no easy feat for her to land this role with director Lin Qian.
The male lead, Yan Congchou, is played by the popular young actor Wu Qinghuai.
Wu Qinghuai was originally a boy band idol, but after the group disbanded, he transitioned into acting.
A web series he starred in became a huge hit, and while there was less criticism of his acting skills, he was still criticized by some people.
Getting the role of Yan Congchou was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for him.
As they approached the film set, they heard a series of angry male voices coming from inside.
Lin Qian was seen raging at Qiao Yi, expressing his dissatisfaction with her performance.
"What exactly are you thinking?!"
"Your scene shouldn't just show sadness, it should also show anger!"
"What I want is grief and indignation!! Not just pretty crying!!"
Once inside, they saw Joey's face flush red and pale against the backdrop of the set, but she quickly admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, Director Lin, it's my fault. I'll think about how to portray this scene."
"Think about it! How many times have you done this one take? How many times have you thought about it?!"
Lin Qian shouted impatiently, "If you can do it, continue; if not, find someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yi's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly pleaded, "Director Lin, I'm sorry, I won't do it again. Please give me another chance! Please don't replace me!"
The others standing nearby either looked up at the sky or down at the ground, but dared not watch the two arguing, for fear of getting caught in the crossfire.
Everyone knows Director Lin Qian's explosive temper! Besides, Qiao Yi isn't exactly a pushover either!
Lin Qian waved his hand impatiently and said, "You can get ready some more. Everyone can take a break and continue in twenty minutes!"
Just as he finished speaking and was about to leave, a familiar voice rang out.
"Director Lin, don't get so angry, calm down!"
Jiang Song first heard Chen Yun greet Lin Qian in a familiar tone.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian seemed overjoyed and blurted out before even turning around, "Why didn't you call me when you arrived? I would have come to pick you up!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu looked at the two of them with a questioning gaze, feeling that Sister Yun was indeed Sister Yun, having a firm grasp on her network of connections and resources.
"It's not that far, haha."
"Director Lin, this is the young lady I'm currently mentoring—Jiang Songchu."
Chen Yun picked up the conversation and began to introduce herself.
"Songchu, this is Director Lin Qian."
At this moment, Lin Qian also came over.
Jiang Songchu and Lin Qian locked eyes, then looked at each other again...
???
Both of them looked surprised!
Jiang Songchu looked at Lin Qian blankly, a sense of surprise rising in her heart: Isn't this the irritable man I met on the first day I transmigrated here?
Lin Qian's eyes widened instantly, and the scene of his first meeting with the girl flashed through his mind.
He silently wondered why he hadn't paid much attention to the girl's face when Xie Linxiao sent him the martial arts performance video; only now did he realize that it matched up.
He blurted out, "It's you?!"
Chen Yun paused for a moment, then looked at the two of them suspiciously.
She had neither heard Jiang Songchu mention knowing Lin Qian, nor had she heard Lin Qian mention knowing Jiang Songchu.
But why did these two react as if they had known each other for a long time?
Jiang Songchu had already regained her smile and politely extended her hand, saying, "Director Lin, hello. I am Jiang Songchu, the stunt double for the female lead."
Lin Qian blankly extended his hand, shook hands briefly with Jiang Songchu, and then said, "So it's you! How are you feeling? Would you like to perform a short piece?"
Seeing that Jiang Songchu nodded in agreement, Lin Qian led her to another set.
Qiao Yi, standing nearby, immediately spotted Jiang Songchu, who was quite good-looking.
Jiang Songchu was not only exceptionally beautiful, but also quite young.
This made Qiao Yi a little wary: this person will definitely be a formidable opponent in the entertainment industry once he grows up!
