Chapter 562: Si Fuqing’s Old Job, His Majesty’s Visit (1)

Third Master LI indeed knew the owner of the Great Xia Escort Agency.
Canceling a commission was no difficult task for him.
Of course, if it involved other families, he would not lift a finger for Gu Zhinan.
But for a mere drama crew? That was effortlessly within his capabilities.
“No problem,” Third Master LI said, smiling as he gently touched Gu Zhinan’s hand. “Zhinan, rest assured, with your daddy here, the Best Actress Award at this year’s National Drama Awards will certainly be yours.”
The National Drama Awards, in truth, were not particularly prestigious.Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
Not to mention, in these times, money could grease the wheels, and even the three premier awards were rife with backdoor dealings and shadows.
Gu Zhinan bit her lip, her complexion still pale, “But online...”
Her path was not that of an internet celebrity; her fans had been gradually accumulated.
Sixty percent of her fans were drama fans.
In terms of national popularity, she was far ahead of Si Fuqing.
After all, the television series that won her the Best TV Actress had the highest viewership of the year, and its online viewership had even surpassed ten billion.
But in terms of popularity, Si Fuqing was currently trending, with a young fanbase that Gu Zhinan simply could not compete with.
Especially since this time, the comparison was based on acting skill, and Gu Zhinan’s drama fans found themselves unable to defend her.

“She is indeed pretty, no wonder she’s popular.”
The assistant couldn’t gauge his mood and hesitated to respond, instead changing the subject, “Miss Bai called a while ago to say dinner is ready, inviting you over.”
LI Yanchen came back to his senses and placed the document casually in the car, “Hmm, let’s go there.”
In An City, Northern State.
After Lin Wansu was expelled from the drama crew, other actors with ulterior motives became much more disciplined.
And Meng Xue, having no parts in the early stages and thus no standing or face to remain, left.
Tang Haiqiu ignored the online pleas for the crew to release a trailer or even just a few scenes.
Yet, it must be said, this was the smoothest shoot he had ever directed.
A shoot anticipated to take half a month was completed in just six days.
After today’s shooting, the crew was set to go to the canyon to film Sui Yan’s rebirth by fire in the demon cave.
It was also here that Sui Yan met the Demon Princess, sent down by the Demon Ruler for training.
A crucial scene.
“Not bad, you,” Tang Haiqiu rarely praised his old friend. “For your first time playing this type of role, you did quite well.”
MO Yishan, traditionally a film actor known for tough-guy roles, was taking on the ethereal role of a Celestial Ruler for the first time.
“Don’t praise me,” MO Yishan said, holding his forehead weakly. “I’m not that great; it was Teacher Si who helped me get into character..”
