Chapter 13: He is actually here
Wen Shuo sent Jiang Yu to the hotel he previously booked: "Miss, the shooting is the day after tomorrow. You can take it easy tomorrow."
"Okay."
Jiang Yu went to Bai Xiaotang's set the next day. While the crew was filming, Bai Xiaotang was swiping her phone laying on a recliner.
"Today's screenwriters are pretty laid-back."
Bai Xiaotang sat up to free up some space for her friend: "The script is already finished, I just come over from time to time to see if there is anything to change."
Jiang Yu leaned against her lazily: "I thought you would be worried about how your little baby will turn out to be, and thus, you're here to monitor the situation..."
This drama is based on Bai Xiaotang's novel. Which was extremely popular. She herself edited the script and was often with the crew.
She lightly chuckled: "The crew is very good, there is nothing to worry about. And It's naturally impossible to completely materialize the original works through films and TV dramas. So, I try my best to do what I can... "
Bai Xiaotang's eyes were clear, she said to Jiang Yu who was casting sidelong glances at her: "I'm just a little screenwriter. It's useless to look at me like that."
Jiang Yu closed his eyes and leaned on her shoulders, then lifted her head to face the sun: "As long as you want to, these are all up to you to decide."
The Bai family and Shen family are close friends. So, she has enough conditions to achieve what she dreams to achieve by herself.
"Actually... I plan to be a producer for the next drama."
This is her first adaptation work. She likes the director very much. She has also seen the casting of several main roles. Although the investment part is a little tricky, but, overall she is very satisfied. This experience made her feel she is ready to be a producer for her next work.
Jiang Yu chatted with her for a while. When it was time for lunch, the director personally came to invite Bai Xiaotang: "Xiaotang, since the investor is here, we're going to a luncheon."
Bai Xiaotang looked at Jiang Yu and hesitated, the latter patted her on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, you go, someone will pick me up."
They are having a luncheon with the investors. It's not convenient for her, as an outsider, to tag along, not that she intended to do it in the first place.
"Well..." As she was about to continue, something caught her eyes and she asked, "Director, is that the investor?"
The director followed her line of sight and nodded: "Yes. Well, I'm leaving first. Don't be late."
"Jiang Yu..." Bai Xiaotang pulled her arm: "It's Huo Shiqian!"*
(*TL: I have no idea why she's so surprised. She literally just told Jiang Yu that he's investing in the drama. Either, she's surprised he came in person, or the author wrote it in one chapter and forgot it on the next)
Jiang Yu was taken aback as she turned to look at him. He was tall, imposing and oozing sex appeal. She could immediately tell that it was Huo Shiqian even with the crowd separating them!
He is actually here!
"Who is that next to him?" She looked at the woman standing besides Huo Shiqian, who suddenly raised her head and said something to him while smiling. It was too much of an eyesore!
"The female lead of this drama, Su Hanxuan. She is an artist who belongs to Huo's company "Huaye". She recently became popular."
Amongst all the rising stars, Qin Shuyu and Han Yiru are the most popular. However, Han Yiru's momentum has weakened in the past six months, The offers she receives became less and less. Instead, Su Hanxuan, who recently landed a successful role in a drama that made a big hit, overtook her in popularity.
Jiang Yu hummed: "I'm going to your dinner party as well." Then she pulled Bai Xiaotang towards him.
Huo Shiqian stood there with a cold look in his face. He didn't pay much attention to what the surrounding people were saying. It was mostly Song Li who did all the talking.
"Shiqian."
Suddenly, a female voice was heard, it sounded a bit intimate, as if the caller was very close to him. The few people present were all silent for a moment, before looking over. Even Huo Shiqian was surprised as he turned his head to look over.
He saw woman coming over. She was tall with extremely beautiful facial features, the bright sunlight shining on her made her even more attractive. It was like a slow motion scene in a movie, where the female lead was surrounded by blooming flowers as she advances towards the male lead.
Jiang Yu? How could she be here?
