More Than A Few Blessing

Chapter 30

The male lead, Gao Boyang sat next to Zhang Shuo. Although he was now a very popular actor with a lot of producers and directors looking for him, the more popular he was, the more careful he became. And the politer he was to the other crew members from the production, afraid that he would appear complacent to others.  

Zhang Shuo looked at the time and found that most of the crew had arrived ahead of time. Among the invited members, only the female lead and the third male lead were still not here. He was not upset. Anyway, now that the film has been released, for these actors to still remember their good relationship with the crew, then it can already be said that they cherish old friendships.

If they were unwilling to come, he also wouldn’t force them.  After all, both money and goods have been settled, no one owes anyone. If worse comes to worst, after this, he just wouldn’t work with people like them again.

“Director Zhang, I heard that Mr. Lu is coming in person later. Shall we toast Mr. Lu together? If it wasn’t for him, this movie would surely have been cancelled.” Gao Boyang and Zhang Shuo had a somewhat personal relationship, adding on the fact that his face was rather common and his temperament was simple, he hadn’t been able to make a name for himself even after being in the entertainment circle all these years. So when Zhang Shuo spoke to him about this role and hoped that he would star in it, Gao Boyang agreed right away.

Later, Gao Boyang heard that they didn’t have enough funds and Director Zhang might have to give up making this movie. He felt that it was a pity for a while but didn’t expect that they soon found an investor afterward. Now, Director Zhang and Screenwriter Qu were both famous, and even he himself had become a well-known actor. Therefore, Mr. Lu was completely worthy of being called their production crew’s saviour.

“It’s okay to toast, but you can’t make him drunk.” Zhang Shuo was also elated because of the movie sales recently, and his temper became better than before, “Mr. Lu is different from us, he still has to get to work on time tomorrow.”

Although there were more than a dozen people in this room that wanted to ask about Mr. Lu’s real identity, they remember that Director Zhang once told them not to disclose the fact that Mr. Lu was the investor at will, even implying that if they spoke any nonsense, they may not be able to walk in this circle anymore. They already had a vague guess, that even if Mr. Lu’s identity wasn’t complicated, there must be someone around him whose background was.

“Don’t worry, Director Zhang. Mr. Lu is still a young man, but drinking and being drunk will hurt his health,” said Gao Boyang smiling. “Because of Director Zhang and Screenwriter Qu, we are blessed with good fortune. We have more work compared to before, it will be troublesome if we get drunk and miss our work as well.”

Everyone began to continuously praise and brainlessly flatter Zhang Shuo and Gao Boyang. No one here was a fool. Gao Boyang will be very popular after this and there is no need to mention Director Zhang, he will definitely shoot a lot of movies in the future. If they wanted to act under Director Zhang, then they needed to act smart.

When Lu Chengyu opened the door of the private room, he heard the supporting actress boasting that he acted out his role very well. He immediately put a smile on his face and said, “I heard the beauty boasting of my handsome appearance as soon as I entered the door, this is indeed a good omen.” Although the second female lead had fewer camera scenes, after the movie got popular, her face became familiar in the entertainment circle. Moreover, this actress was a brave person who was willing to risk her life; several years later, she will become a mainstay of the big screen.

Zhu Yuxue didn’t think that Mr. Lu would happen to hear her words, she immediately used a joking tone and said: “Mr. Lu originally already looked handsome. Could it be that it’s still embarrassing for others to mention it?”
