Chapter 281. Finishing the shooting (4)

"«Slayers»? Brother Ren's next drama!"

Xiao Rin's eyes shook when he heard that and her voice became high pitched. The other actors and staff looked at her with strange eyes when they heard her sudden outburst. 

But she ignored it and focused on Chief Han's next words. 

"Yeah, it is the same drama that Ren is filming currently, directed by Director Chen Pu and produced by Wheel works production."

"But isn't the shooting going to finish soon?"

Xiao Rin asked as she tilted her head.

From what she knows, the shooting of «Slayers» was on its end and just because of that, she hadn't even seen Ren for so long.

He was not in Beijing and was shooting in Hongdian. It was not like she could just fly over to Hongdian to meet him either as her status was different now and there were paparazzi lurking around her.

She didn't care about them, but she didn't want to trouble Ren with it. In the end, she can just endure until Ren finishes the shooting and comes back to Beijing.

"The main shooting is going to finish soon, but they are actually planning to shoot a special episode, fixated on the backstory of Cao Xu."

"Isn't Cao Xu the character Brother Ren is playing?"

"Yeah, it is. Wheel works production are currently looking for actors to play some characters in that special episode and they want you to play a major role."

Chief Han finished speaking and suddenly, Xiao Rin's eyes started sparkling. There was only one thought in her mind after hearing all that.

'I will be able to act with Brother Ren again!'

She had missed talking with Ren, but more than that, she had missed practicing scenes and acting with him. 

There was no way she wouldn't be excited by this sudden proposal.

Although it was only for one episode, she would be acting with Ren. Just the thought of practicing and discussing scenes with him, and spending time together was enough to make her heartbeat increase. 

Unable to contain her excitement, Xiao Rin quickly said.

"I will do it!!"

Her shout and excited face made the staff members and actors looked at her with curiosity again.

Xiao Rin, who was known to not show any expressions, was this excited by something? They were all curious about what it was, but Chief Han calmed her down quickly.

"Xiao Rin, calm down, people are looking at you strangely. Moreover, Director Zhao was thinking of rejecting the offer."

"Huh? Why will he reject?"

Chief Han sighed hearing that. He very well knows that there was only one person who can make the always calm Xiao Rin crazy and that was Ren.

But as her manager, he needed to make her understand.

"There is only one reason behind it - Your schedule. It's packed with shooting, advertis.e.m.e.nts, photoshoots and interviews. You are currently shooting for «Death school» and in ten days, you would start shooting for «Eternal sunshine». When will you get the time to shoot for «Slayers»?"

Xiao Rin became silent hearing that.

«Death school» was the movie she was currently shooting for. It was a horror thriller with a strong female character and «Eternal sunshine» was a romance mini drama.

She would start the shooting for it in just 10 days. In between that, she has photoshoots for magazines and interviews.

Her schedule was really packed!

'What should I do here?'

Xiao Rin thought about it carefully. 

She wanted to become one of the best actresses in the whole Asia quickly.

She wanted to rise to the point where no one would be able to tell her to not do anything or snatch the things that were hers.

That was the only reason she had taken so many projects, but now, it was stopping her from acting with Ren.

"Um, can't I drop a project? Or some advertis.e.m.e.nts?"

Xiao Rin asked and Chief Han was quick to frown. He waved his hand and shook his head quickly.

"You know how much money has gone into it and we have already signed the contract. We can't drop anything. Moreover, rumours would easily spread, especially because many people don't think you deserve the best actress award."

What Chief Han was saying was right and Xiao Rin wasn't able to retort to it. She can only lower her head in dejection and sigh.

'She looks really sad!'

Seeing her like that, Chief Han's couldn't help, but console her a little.

"Xiao Rin, don't be sad. Why don't you talk with Director Zhao about it? The schedule for the special episode has not been decided yet, so maybe, we can just adjust it somewhere..."

"Really? We can do that?!"

Xiao Rin quickly asked and her expression changed in a second. Chief Han scratched his cheek and replied.

"It all depends on Director Zhao!"

"Move that prop over there!"

"The background actors are in their positions!"

"Someone check the lighting!"

In the set of «Slayers», everyone was busy moving around. It was because the final scene was currently getting filmed.

It was the scene in which the armies of Cao Xu and Xu Tingsheng would clash with each other and a battle between the main character, Xie Xian and Cao Xu would happen.

It would be the final fight for them and it was also the fight where Cao Xu would take his last breath.

"There are sure a lot of people!"

Ren said as he looked around the huge set. There were people moving around everywhere. He had never seen this many people on a set before.

Moreover, most were carrying swords and spears. 

"There would be way more people after the editing and stuff, but it sure looks magnanimous."

Hou Qian said while smoking a cigarette. It was the first time Ren had seen him smoking, so he couldn't help himself from saying. 

"I never knew you smoke."

"I don't smoke often, but I always smoke before the shooting of the final scene. It has become a habit now. You can say it eases me a lot."

Ren tilted his head hearing that and asked.

"You are feeling nervous?"

Hou Qian looked at him with a smirk and replied. 

"Actors are humans too and heavenly kings are the same. We get accustomed to things, but feeling nervous is normal. And aren't you also nervous?"

Ren widened his eyes hearing that and hesitated a bit before opening his mouth. 

"How do you know I'm nervous?"

"You won't ask stupid questions if you weren't nervous."

"..."

Ren was just speechless hearing that.
