Chapter 353 Rabbit and the Grass Next to the Nest
Chapter 353 Rabbit and the Grass Next to the Nest
It was early March.
I was busy concentrating on filming every day, and time passed quickly. Half a month seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.
Since most of the scenes in "My Love from the Star" were simple, Feng Ying'er quickly found the right feeling and the shooting progress far exceeded expectations.
Sometimes I even have to take a half-day or a whole day off to wait for the rest of the team to finish the set.
Fan Wumian has his own set of acting skills and can memorize his lines very quickly. Feng Ying'er is also smart enough to win by relying on her talent.
There was already a chemistry between the two of them, so acting out some romantic scenes was like a fish in water.
Although I try my best to support the girlfriends around me, I don't force all the resources on them.
Just like Zuo Ziyan filmed "Those Years" and Zhuang Muxi filmed "The Lonely and Great God", Ying Er is suitable for playing a lively and narcissistic superstar.
The entire plot is basically the same as the original drama, only adding some side plots along the main line to make the supporting characters more outstanding.
Huang Shengyi and Yao Xingtong both took time out to make guest appearances, while Liu Shishi got a pretty good supporting role, playing the villain's innocent sister.
During filming.
Seeing that Ying'er and Fan Wumian were getting close, Liu Shishi felt a strong sense of crisis and finally plucked up the courage to try to get closer to him.
When she is free, she will take the initiative to find reasons to come and discuss the script with Fan Wumian, or try to ask him out shopping or eating.
The abacus beads were about to jump onto Fan Wumian's face.
After all, it’s Liu Shishi.
Anyone who has paid attention to her in later generations knows that this girl has no resistance to mature men, and Fan Wumian is very mature and smart, just the right person to kill her.
July 3nd.
Liu Shishi came to him again to have dinner together. This situation has been going on for several days. Even if she has no scenes to film that day, she will come to the crew to punch in.
While eating in the RV, Fan Wumian reminded in a joking tone:
"Aren't you afraid of rumors about me? Some people in the crew have already started gossiping about me. I'm like a walking rumor-making machine. Be careful not to get into trouble."
Liu Shishi was timid for a few seconds, then looked into Fan Wumian's eyes and said with a smile:
"Why should I be afraid? You're my boss, isn't it normal for us to have frequent contact?"
".That being said, it's not very good."
Fan Wumian didn't choose to break the window paper when the words came to his lips, but only added:
"You are young and you want to be a pure and innocent girl. Many media outlets will do anything to attract attention and will dare to make up any content. This will affect your future."
On the other hand, Liu Shishi actually replied:
"Being famous is also being famous. If I have a scandal with you, it will broaden my acting range. When the company trained us, the first lesson they taught us was to respect our fans but also to treat them as nothing. Once you become famous, you will be criticized without exception. Actresses are especially likely to be framed for scandals. I have already prepared myself mentally."
It feels like the food is being fed to my mouth.
After all, she is Liu Shishi. It would be a lie to say that she has no thoughts at all.
The classic quote from a scumbag, "Don't let down a good girl, and don't let a bad girl go," flashed through his mind. Fan Wumian felt that he didn't have the energy to provoke anyone anymore. It would be troublesome if he had to take responsibility.
Seeing that Liu Shishi didn't seem to understand what he meant, he said again:
"Well, I'm too busy right now. I was thinking about taking a break this year, but before I knew it, my schedule was almost full again. I don't have time to think about other things for now. Besides, I don't think I'll ever get married to anyone in my life."
Done.
I found that Liu Shishi was silent.
Fan Wumian thought that she should understand what he meant.
however.
Liu Shishi suddenly sighed, grabbed his hand and comforted him:
"I feel sorry for you. You are so outstanding, but you still can't be with Miss Zuo. Although I have never experienced such a deep and unforgettable relationship, I can probably imagine that this feeling must be very uncomfortable."
"???"
Fan Wumian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained:
"'Those Years' is just a fictional movie, don't get caught up in it. I'm not as perfect as you think."
That’s all.
Although it was quite sudden and made her feel uncomfortable, Liu Shishi felt that if she didn't try, she might not have another chance in the future, so she mustered up the courage to ask back:
"How do you know if it's suitable if you don't try?"
"."
I was afraid that she would have unrealistic thoughts, like many young girls, and would not turn back until she hit the wall.
Fan Wumian got straight to the point and reminded:
"There are cultural differences between the mainland and Hong Kong. The atmosphere in Hong Kong is a little more open, and people are more unrestrained when they are young. I will not consider a long-term relationship for the time being. I just want to have fun with occasional dates. I don't need any long-term guarantees. A relationship where everyone is relaxed and stress-free is more suitable for me. It has nothing to do with you. Don't mind it. Besides, rabbits don't eat grass near their nests."
"."
Liu Shishi really didn't expect that she would fail on such a question. She felt petrified on the spot and was at a loss for a moment. Fan Wumian continued in a calm tone, rubbing Liu Shishi's head:
"Be good, you are still young, don't waste your time here. If I were a bit mean, I could have waited until I had eaten you up completely before telling you this, but that would have been really bad."
"I'm your boss and I need to take care of you artists. Look how much your mother trusts me. She hasn't come to the crew to accompany you recently."
"So, it's better for you to continue being colleagues. You are too well protected by your family and the company. If you meet someone you like in the future, you can ask me first."
My mind is a little confused.
Liu Shishi felt that she had not yet fallen in love, but had already tasted the bitterness of heartbreak, so she smiled awkwardly and said:
"My mom wanted to accompany me, but I told her that if I always followed me, I would be laughed at by others. I was young when I went to Beijing Dance Academy, and I will graduate as a senior in a few months."
"Also, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"My parents always say that there are no good people in the entertainment industry. Boss, you are a good person. You didn't lie to me."
Before finishing her meal, Liu Shishi left the RV, left the crew alone, and walked towards the bank of the Huangpu River to take a walk and enjoy the breeze.
The whole thing is simple.
Liu Shishi immediately realized that she was just imagining things and was in love with the guy.
After hearing Fan Wumian say that he was not a good man, Liu Shishi felt that he was frank and free and easy. Soon she thought of the phrase "I will eat you up completely" and wondered if it meant that he was actually somewhat interested in her.
A mature woman will only test things out, and after getting the results, she will make a decision immediately.
Liu Shishi is still young. Although she has been in the entertainment industry for so long, she is not as emotionally competent as many of her peers outside the industry.
I like Fan Wumian and I am really aiming for love. Ever since I signed the contract with Shanzeiwang Media, I have been having a one-sided love for him for several months.
Unlike many girls who came into contact with Fan Wumian, she just wanted to exchange some interests and gain benefits from him.
When Liu Shishi thought about how she had taken the initiative for the first time in her life and ended up in failure, and how she had been embarrassed in front of Fan Wumian, she felt so embarrassed that her toes touched the ground.
It’s useless to teach someone a thousand times, but it takes only one time to teach someone something.
Liu Shishi finally understood why others always said it was best not to try an "office romance" because it was so awkward to be together all day long in the company.
It ended before it even began. Fan Wumian expressed it very clearly. It was just that they were young and playful and didn't want a serious relationship. Liu Shishi only had regrets in her heart, and no knots were left.
Then I thought again.
She suddenly thought of her best friend Yang Mi. They often met in Yanjing. Liu Shishi had already noticed that Yang Mi also had a good impression of Fan Wumian.
I was worried that the two sides would have conflicts over this, but now I realize that there is a dead end ahead and it seems that there is no chance of a positive result.
As the cold wind blew by the river, Liu Shishi once again felt that Yang Mi was smarter than herself, and had already mentioned something like "it's difficult for an ordinary girl to subdue a boss".
Unlike her, she was filled with emotion.
As for Fan Wumian, it was almost as if nothing had happened. He had rejected countless girls and had become numb to it.
If she was just greedy for his body, she could have discussed it. She would have felt guilty countless times in private, so this little shudder wouldn't matter.
However, pursuing love from the beginning was another matter entirely, and it only made him feel troublesome and vexatious, like a fish with a hook hidden behind the bait.
It's just a slight regret, and I regret that Liu Shishi didn't respond and say something like "It's okay to be happy occasionally."
After all, she is still young. After a few more years in the circle, she may become less concerned about certain things and her ideas may be very different.
------------
While busy with filming, he was also busy with business.
Fan Wumian sought help from a third-party company, formed a team and went to Hollywood to register a "Myths Film Studio".
He also held two negotiations with Paramount executives, bringing a mature plan and a script to their doorstep, and quickly finalized a cooperation plan with a total investment of US$1 million, which was expected to produce five mid-cost films within two years.
With the success of "A Quiet Place 1", "Those Years" and "Crazy Stone" also performed quite well in Asia, at least before Fan Wumian experienced failure, the executives of Paramount Pictures had no reason to reject him.
As soon as the news came out, it instantly attracted global attention.
Even though Paramount Pictures has been marginalized among the major Hollywood studios, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and the parent company behind Paramount, Viacom Media Group, is not to be trifled with.
When Miramax Films heard the news, they finally couldn't sit still anymore.
The official notice said that it plans to give an accurate reply to Bandit King Media before March 3 to confirm whether "A Quiet Place 10" can pass the internal review.
In fact, it is almost a done deal.
Because Fan Wumian has clung to Paramount's patronage, even if Miramax Films fails to fulfill the contract, it will not have a negative impact on the release of "A Quiet Place 2".
Miramax Films simply wants to lower the price from Fan Wumian, increase the company's revenue, and send a signal to the outside world that "Disney supports Hollywood local films". There is no way they will actually breach the contract.
It would be a waste of money to shut out A Quiet Place 2, and no one would do such a stupid thing.
