Xie Mingxuan was stumped at being stopped by the young lady.
Director Li thought that the young lady was Mingxuan’s fan, and hurriedly said, “Mingxuan, hurry and give Miss Chi an autograph!”
Speaking of which, Director Li really liked Xie Mingxuan. Not only did Xie Mingxuan have outstanding acting skills, he also had a good character. He had won many awards when he was young, and had even won an international Best Actor award. His future was limitless. It was a pity that something happened to the Xie family, and Mingxuan had withdrawn from the entertainment circle for almost ten years. The speed at which the entertainment circle changed was astonishing. When he re-entered the entertainment circle, Xie Mingxuan was unknown and old. It was very difficult for him to survive.
When Director Li saw Mingxuan at that time, he saw a former movie emperor being bossed around by the company’s youngsters and managers. Xie Mingxuan had also been kind to Director Li in the past.
Seeing that, how could Director Li stand by idly? Moreover, he saw that Xie Mingxuan’s acting skills hadn’t deteriorated even after so many years, so he immediately invited him to be his third male lead.
The third male lead didn’t have many scenes, but Xie Mingxuan treasured this opportunity. He was usually very serious when reading the script, and would come and discuss it with Director Li if he had any doubts, which made Director Li admire Xie Mingxuan even more.
At that moment, the big investor for this movie was present. Director Li was also thinking of creating an opportunity for Xie Mingxuan to build a relationship with President Qi. Even if he couldn’t, it would still be good to make an impression in front of President Qi.
Xie Mingxuan naturally knew that Director Li wouldn’t harm him. He thought that the young lady in front of him wanted his autograph, so he asked without thinking, “Do you have pen and paper?”
Chi Shuyan: …
Chi Shuyan really wanted his autograph. Something to fondly remember the idol of her youth by was also good.
However, she really didn’t have pen and paper on her. She immediately looked at the man beside her.
Qi Zhenbai didn’t have pen and paper with him. He was unhappy about his wife asking for another man’s autograph. His sharp gaze landed on the person who had come in as he sized him up.
Xie Mingxuan had noticed at first glance that the man had an especially strong aura. He guessed that the man must be someone important. Even then, he still felt a chill down his spine at the man’s cold gaze.
The atmosphere was awkward. Director Li quickly found pen and paper and handed them to Xie Mingxuan.
Xie Mingxuan quickly signed his name. Needless to say, his strokes were sharp and his handwriting was really good.
Chi Shuyan took a few glances. The more she looked at it, the better it appeared. When she took the autograph, her hand bumped into his, and she said, “Thank you! Oh right, Movie Emperor Xie, can we shake hands?”
Xie Mingxuan didn’t think much of it and stretched out his hand. Chi Shuyan held it for a long time.
Xie Mingxuan’s body stiffened. Although he had met many sleazy female investors and fans when he was popular in the past, he never thought the pretty girl in front of him could be the same.
He also became even more nervous under the sharp gaze that was fixed on him.
Director Li and the assistant director looked at each other in dismay. Their hearts raced, especially when they saw the frighteningly dark look on President Qi’s face. It was as if a dark storm was brewing, and the invisible pressure around him silenced them.
Luckily, it wasn’t long before Chi Shuyan let go of Xie Mingxuan’s hand. She suddenly looked at Director Li beside her. “Director Li, do you have an explosion scene later?”
Director Li was stunned for a moment. He still hadn’t recovered from the fact that this young lady had ‘flirted’ with Mingxuan in front of President Qi. He replied blankly, “Miss Chi, how did you know?”
How did this young lady know that there would be an explosion scene? The explosives had been buried much earlier on. If she wasn’t an insider on the set, how could she know? Or had someone leaked the information?
Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything more. Before she left, she took out a Safety Talisman and gave it to Xie Mingxuan, and told him to carry it on him at all times. She then said to Director Li, “Director Li, it’s better to be careful when filming such a dangerous scene! Check the location again. After all, human lives are at stake!” After saying that, she left with Qi Zhenbai.
