Chapter 80

Chapter 80

At the shooting site, Chu Qingchan and Liu Qinnuan got busy again, while he idly scrolled through his phone and downloaded a post from a certain blogger. Although it wasnt a good place with all sorts of people, entertainment industry news circulated here.

He casually searched and found that the news related to Liu Qinnuan was mostly positive, with information about the set not completely blocked but all related to the statements from Jinling. Under her Weibo posts, people were comforting her, advising her not to let it affect her mood, and asking about the content of the shoot.

There was a comment under a post mentioning the director Sun Jian, which was the most popular, with everyone curious whether it was a movie or a TV series. Among them, a reply mentioned it was a short film and hinted at a retired celebrity, presumably referring to Chu Qingchan.

It seemed that while most of the photos could be managed, the text couldnt be completely controlled, but there wasnt any particularly strange news. So he searched for Chu Qingchans Weibo, with the latest post being over three months ago, talking about her retirement.

Opening the comment section, it was indeed a battleground for anti-fans, but the newer replies closer to the present were all anticipating her return. This left Xu Lin a bit confused, and he clicked into the second hottest comment, posting a sentence on the big Vs profile saying, The good is gone.

He found indeed an explanation for this shift in opinion, saying that he now wants Chu Qingchan, and although her acting skills arent great, shes good-looking.

These new actors cant act well and arent as good-looking as Chu Qingchan, specifically referring to the idols from a certain programme.

Xu Lin didnt know if it was criticism or what. There were also hundreds of replies below, all saying they are looking forward to Chu Qingchans return: I want to see the beautiful sister.

So he searched for this programme again and found out its a talent show that has reached its final two episodes, a segment testing acting skills.

All the girls are performing terribly, and they all look the same, as if they were carved from the same mold.

No wonder theyre being criticized. Xu Lin glanced at Chun Qingchan in the distance, then glanced at Chun Fengyi beside him. This is beauty, and his standards have become picky.

Whats so good about those girls? Are they as good as me?

No, I didnt mean that. I just saw your sisters comments, and their information came up.

I saw it too. By the way, the investment company in this programme is also invested in us.

Wow you guys are really something. But you always argue with your sister, yet you seem to care about her~

Who cares about her?

Your tsundere attitude is too strong!

Hmph! I bet your wound isnt hurting anymore.

Ouch Agh! It hurts so much!

Finally, the main scenes between Chu Qingchan and Liu Qinnuan have ended. Xu Lin is about to appear, marking the end of this transitional scene. With that, the shooting is officially complete.

Is your hand okay?

Its fine. Luckily, I didnt get beaten up in the storyline, so I dont need makeup.

Thats true. Lets get ready to shoot. Everyone to your positions!

With the directors shout, Xu Lin and others lined up, and the cameraman found the perfect angle. Ground and aerial shots began simultaneously.

A few minutes later, as the drone slowly descended, the director shouted and the crew cheered, Its a wrap!

Then, the actors with roles embraced each other, and the crew members presented bouquets to Chu Qingchan and Liu Qinnuan.

The director walked to the middle of Liu Qinnuan and Chu Qingchan with a loudspeaker.

Everyone, you all did a great job in this shoot. Originally planned for 5 days, we successfully compressed it to 2 and a half days. Thank you, everyone!

A blurry image, clearly taken in the schools filming location, but not from yesterdays scene with Liu Qinnuan but from the day before yesterdays shoot.

There he was, with some extras in the background, but it seemed like they were far away. Although his profile was visible, it wouldnt necessarily be easy for others to directly match it with his.

The text said it was the male lead of Liu Qinnuans filming location, leaving Xu Lin speechless. A male lead whose role was ranked in the 7th or 8th position? But the comments below made him feel better.

Hes so handsome!

Whos that young man?

Dont know, a newcomer? It looks good though.

But there were also rumours, which Xu Lin ignored automatically, and the joy in his heart faded a bit, understanding some of the feelings of public figures.

You get some praise, but you also have to face some criticism. If you cant handle the criticism, then youre not suitable to be a public figure.

Hey, Brother Xu.

Yeah?

Im really sorry! She suddenly stood up and bowed to him.

What are you doing? Didnt you already apologise in the car?

No, no, this time you helped me twice, got injured once, and almost got hurt again. I really should apologise properly. Of course, this is just to ease my own conscience.

You sit down first. Xu Lin became serious, indicating that she should calm down first.

Okay.

Liu Qinnuan, youre from the entertainment industry, right?

Yes.

Just like the director said, people in the entertainment industry all have some scheming and thoughts. Otherwise, how can they survive and earn more money?

But Im not just for money, just for the sake of satisfying my own surface perfection.

Li Qinnuan didnt show that gentle and cute smile for the first time, losing some of her fairy-like temperament but gaining a bit of maturity.

But by telling me all this now, arent you admitting your own issues? Since you can reflect, thats progress.

The scariest thing about people is not understanding themselves! If you know your desires and have goals, then theres no need to feel uneasy.

You used me; I could hate you, but why make yourself unhappy when youve achieved your goal?

The hardest thing in life is to live the way you want. If external perfection is what you desire, then youre not wrong.

If its not what you want and youre still young, go chase after what you truly desire!

After saying that, when Xu Lin saw Chu Qingchan coming out, he also picked up his bag and stood up, walking coolly towards that side, leaving Liu Qinnuan with an unforgettable figure from behind.
