A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire
Chapter 75: She Actually Made Progress!
CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: SHE ACTUALLY MADE PROGRESS!
Mu Yan remembered that Zhou Lifen had said her greatest desire was to star in a film directed by Chen Zhou, and today she was here, actively seeking favor.
What a coincidence, enemies crossing paths so soon.
Mu Yan approached and said to Director Chen, "Director, I’m ready."
Chen Zhou turned back to glance at her, "Go rehearse with Li Yushen first."
"Okay." Mu Yan nodded and looked at Zhou Lifen beside her, who was also looking at her.
With a slightly surprised expression, she asked, "Sister Zhou, why are you here?"
Zhou Lifen smiled at Mu Yan and said, "Mu Yan, it’s really you. You mentioned joining the crew a few days ago, and it turns out it’s Director Chen’s team. Why didn’t you tell me?"
"Sister Zhou, you didn’t ask me." Mu Yan looked innocent.
"You two know each other?" Chen Zhou looked at Zhou Lifen and Mu Yan, asking.
Mu Yan was about to speak, but Zhou Lifen cut in, "Mu Yan used to be my double. Director Chen, have you noticed we look quite similar?"
Mu Yan glanced at Zhou Lifen; was she emphasizing that she was merely her "shadow"?
Chen Zhou looked at both of them and said blandly, "Not really."
Zhou Lifen’s smile became somewhat forced, "Really? Maybe it’s because our makeup is different today."
"Actually, I’ve compared Sister Zhou’s photos when she was younger and we don’t look alike at all. It’s just the makeup artist’s exceptional skills." Mu Yan smiled.
She glanced back and apologized to Zhou Lifen, "I need to get ready. Sister Zhou, please have a seat."
"Alright!" Zhou Lifen nodded with a smile, but inside she was furious.
That brat’s words just now were clearly a jab at her age, yet she didn’t even get a chance to retort.
It hasn’t been long since they last met, and her tongue has become even sharper.
She turned to Chen Zhou and laughed, "Mu Yan is just a newcomer; she hasn’t formally studied acting. She only picked up some basics on set with me. Young people can’t help being a bit reckless; if she doesn’t perform well, don’t hesitate to set her straight."
"She’s quite good." Chen Zhou said calmly, then turned to his assistant director, "Prepare for the next scene."
Zhou Lifen felt like her fist had hit cotton, her face turning sour.
When did typically strict Chen Zhou start praising actors?
She looked at Mu Yan, who was acting opposite Li Yushen not far away. Could she escape NG under Chen Zhou’s direction?
The scene this morning was a secret meeting between Princess Qingcheng and the young general.
Under the peach blossoms, the beautiful princess nestled in her lover’s arms, whispering sweet promises of eternal love.
Dragon Soaring looked at the enchanting girl in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Once I have more battle merits, I’ll propose to the Emperor and marry you."
The young princess’s face showed a hint of shyness, "Okay."
Dragon Soaring released her, slowly leaning in as if to kiss her.
As his face approached, the young princess’s eyes twinkled, and she slowly closed them.
His warm breath brushed against her face, and her cheeks turned a rosy hue.
Getting ever closer, just as their lips were about to meet.
"Cut!" Director Chen called out, "Prepare for the next scene."
Zhou Lifen stood in front of Director Chen, her face twisted in anger, her eyes red with frustration. In just a few days, that little brat’s acting skills had improved!
Today she had taken her cover, tomorrow she might seize her Best Actress throne.
This little brat really couldn’t be allowed to stay; I was too soft-hearted back then!
The scene passed, and Mu Yan’s tense emotions instantly relaxed. Thankfully, it wasn’t a real kiss.
Li Yushen took a deep breath and smiled at Mu Yan, "Were you nervous?"
"Yes!" Mu Yan answered honestly.
Li Yushen gave her a peculiar look, "Fans usually fantasize about being kissed by their idols, don’t they? Could you be a fake fan?"
Mu Yan, "..."
She looked at Li Yushen seriously and said, "An idol trying to take advantage of fans isn’t a good idol either."
