Chapter 172 - There is Something That I Need to Confess to You
With Song Chenxing and Yao Fan’s sincere guidance, Jiang Yuning was able to film her scene with them without any issues at all. Although Jiang Yuning’s acting skills would still be weaker in comparison to the other two artistes’, her skills were definitely beyond a rating of 4.0.
Jiang Yuning was also able to blend in and mingle with the production crew and cast without Qian Ge around to create any further problems for her.
Who would not love a humble and warm actress who had a pleasing personality and was willing to accept her own weaknesses in order to become a better actress? She was hardworking and diligent, and she had even studied Chinese medicine just to prepare for her role as the third female lead.
The executive director who drank the prescription that Jiang Yuning had prepared for him also stopped sweating and perspiring so much. It was really magical indeed!
They were able to wrap up the filming really quickly that afternoon. As soon as they finished filming their scene, Song Chenxing changed out of his outfit before he approached Jiang Yuning and said, “You can come and look for me whenever you are free. I have some very helpful information that I can share with you. It will definitely help you improve your acting skills.”
“No, Teacher Song. I do not want to trouble you any further. Thank you for your kindness,” Jiang Yuning quickly refused before she headed back to her bed and breakfast together with the young paparazzo.
Song Chenxing frowned immediately. “What is her problem? Why is she avoiding me?”
“Brother Chen, don’t you know that Jiang Yuning is a blacklisted artiste who has already attracted plenty of negative remarks and criticism from the public because of the incident involving Qian Ge? I believe that she is trying to keep her distance from you because she does not want to provoke any further criticism. If she does, it might be difficult for her to remain in the cast,” Song Chenxing’s agent quickly explained on Jiang Yuning’s behalf. “Furthermore, you have a huge fan base who are rooting for a romantic relationship to develop between you and Yao Fan. If Jiang Yuning tried to get closer to you now, she would definitely be criticized and attacked by the fans.”
Song Chenxing nodded his head after listening to his agent’s explanation. “Alright then. I want you to go and pass her the information tonight.”
“Why…why are you so concerned about a newcomer? If Sister Fan finds out about this, she would definitely be unhappy.”
“She is a good seedling and she can be trained to become an excellent actress.”
Song Chenxing did not have any other intentions. He only felt that this girl was really very talented.
He was just like the other two veteran actors who were trying to take Jiang Yuning as their very own disciple.
…
After arriving back at the bed and breakfast, Jiang Yuning saw Vera waiting for her in the courtyard.
Vera looked very professional, dressed in a full business suit.
“I have not seen you for merely a few days and you have already successfully driven Qian Ge out of the cast,” Vera said as she made a thumbs up gesture at Jiang Yuning.
“I do not dare to take the credit for that,” Jiang Yuning replied as she laughed out loud. “Why have you come here so late at night?”
“I am here because of the young paparazzo. He asked me if he could allow some of your fans to come and watch and support you at the filming location. What do you think about this idea?” Vera asked Jiang Yuning as she sat down on the stone bench. “I trust in Xue Li because she is just like me. She only became your fan because she was intrigued by your sincerity and good personality. If you allow them to come and get to know you better, I believe that it would definitely be good for any future publicity. After all, they used to be Qian Ge’s fans and they would not really know you for who you are. You should let them come and see you for who you truly are.”
“Alright then. You can arrange for them to come over. I am okay with it,” Jiang Yuning replied as she nodded her head.
“By the way, I have another piece of news for you. I have successfully secured a spot for you in an adventure variety show after the filming of <Mysteries of Heaven>. I know that you are interested in ancient dramas and that will be your main focus. However, you should not refuse to participate in the variety show.”
“I will not reject the idea,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately. “Because I believe in your professional judgment.”
The both of them continued chatting in the courtyard and at this time, second young master Lu’s black car suddenly turned into the parking lot.
Both Vera and the young paparazzo quickly exchanged glances with one another, with a flustered expression on their faces.
“Sister Yuning, they have already announced your schedule for tomorrow. Don’t forget that you have to be there to film your scene at eight o’clock in the morning!”
Jiang Yuning could not help but smile when she looked at the two people who were rushing to leave the place. They were acting as though Lu Jingzhi would eat them up.
When Jiang Yuning finally laughed out loud, Lu Jingzhi suddenly hugged her from the back. “Didn’t I warn you that you should not be laughing and smiling so casually with other people?”
“Second brother?” Jiang Yuning suddenly exclaimed. “They are not other people!”
“I do not allow it.”
“But I simply laughed at them because I was thinking about you,” Jiang Yuning replied before she turned around and placed her arms around Lu Jingzhi’s neck. She looked at him and replied coquettishly, “Don’t punish me today. I was just bullied earlier. Why don’t you dote on me a little today?”
“Dream on,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he carried Jiang Yuning up in his arms and carried her into the bedroom. “However, there is something that I need to confess to you.”
Huh?
