“What did you just say?” Fu Shiyi turned around.
Luo Jiaming blinked. “I said that when we do the promotion of the Long Wind, you and Mu Weiwei can be a faux couple. You look cute together and you will definitely create a sensation!”
“No, no, no!” Fu Shiyi objected resolutely.
His brother and Mu Weiwei were in a secretive relationship; so how was he going to participate in being a manufactured couple with her, and show off their love across the globe?
In that case, his brother would flay him alive and send him to burn in hell.
“You helped her and signed her, and assigned Jolin to be her agent, just because you wanted to sleep with her, right?” Luo Jiaming asked.
He spent so much effort to bring her into the company and he even sacrificed himself to keep her safe. What was his purpose if he did not want to be a manufactured couple with her?
“Anyway, I object to that proposal!” Fu Shiyi objected to Luo Jiaming’s suggestion without any further consideration.
“Why not? You must give me a reason.” Luo Jiaming asked, trying to dig deeper.
He could tell that he kept defending Mu Weiwei but the funny part was that he did not want to touch her. That did not stand in line with his character as a womanizer!
Fu Shiyi thought for a long time and said, “She is too holy to end up being corrupted by me!”
Honestly, he signed her so that she could sleep with his brother, not with him!
“…”
Luo Jiaming looked at him as if he were staring at an idiot.
“I told you that I am not going to have any rumors with her!” Fu Shiyi said.
“But if the Long Wind is going to be promoted by our company, then you two will be the focus. You can’t choose to be the manufactured couple with Li Xing’er, she is engaged already, alright?!” Luo Jiaming said.
The promotion was going to be done anyways, and of course they would promote their own artists first rather than Li Xing’er.
Fu Shiyi was racking his brain to explain the reason to Luo Jiaming, when the assistant reminded him.
“Third Master, the opening ceremony has just started.”
Fu Shiyi put on his coat and walked out of his room to go to the opening ceremony.
The main crew and journalists were all there, and only he and Li Xing’er were late.
Yi An led his team to burn some incense and did some kowtows to the four directions.
Then the host presented the main crew of the Long Wind and the director and associate producer delivered a few small speeches.
Fu Shiyi and Li Xing’er were the main representatives who also gave speeches and Gu Weiwei, as the newcomer, just smiled next to them and answered some questions briefly.
After the brief interview, Yi An removed the red cloth covering the camera.
Hereby the shooting of the Long Wind formally started.
After the opening ceremony, the actors started to get dressed for the first scene.
Yi An normally required that the first take should be conducted smoothly for auspicious reasons.
Since both Gu Weiwei and Fu Shiyi were dressed in male clothes, they finished with their makeup very quickly. When they were done, they were impatiently waiting for Li Xing’er.
The director’s assistant went into the makeup room with the script.
“Gu Changfeng, Tang Shaoqi, you will do the first take, now.”
Li Xing’er just could not believe it. She held up her dress and went out, only to see Tang Shaoqi and Gu Changfeng playing the scene where they encountered each other at Ningcheng.
Li Xing’er’s agent looked a little annoyed, but she still asked with a shy smile, “Director Lee, isn’t the first take always for the two major roles?”
What was this supporting role Tang Shaoqi doing in the first take?
Executive director smiled and said,
“We are not that critical here. An hour more of waiting would cost the crew a great deal of money and so we are just going to film the characters that have finished their makeup first.”
Actually, Director Yi did not trust Li Xing’er’s performing skills and feared that she would ruin the first scene.
