Seeing Lu Zhen’s strange expression, Ye Xuan explained, “Even if you want to pursue that man’s mistake, it won’t be easy. There were no surveillance cameras at that time, and the other party claimed to be a fan. In R Nation, fans’ extreme actions usually won’t be dealt with seriously. At his level, he will at most give a warning.”
Lu Zhen sighed in understanding.
After this incident happened, the director from R Nation quickly contacted Jia Le.
The director named Shen Dong was a reasonable person. He apologized to Jia Le first.
Jia Le also knew that this accident had nothing to do with this director. After a friendly exchange, Shen Dong also knew Jia Le’s countermeasure and expressed that he could understand why Jia Le did not publicly forgive that man in Country R.
If Jia Le did that, it would undoubtedly anger the netizens of Country Z. Both parties were silent for a while. Shen Dong asked, “Then our cooperation…” Was it going to stop?
Jia Le was also in a dilemma. From the looks of it, that actress definitely could not participate in the filming of Shen Dong’s movie. Of course, this was not the first time Jia Le had encountered such an accident. They quickly thought of a solution to replace her.
After scanning the many female artists under them, the leaders of Jia Le realized helplessly that this time, they could only let Lu Zhen be the one to save the situation.
Director Shen Dong was the most outstanding director in R Nation in recent years. His debut film was on the stage of the international film festival. He even won the Best Newcomer Director Award back then and became a highly anticipated new star in the international film industry.
This time, Shen Dong had been preparing for a new movie for a long time. It was also a heavyweight work that he had spent a lot of effort on. He was aiming to win a big award.
Under such circumstances, Jia Le naturally couldn’t just find a random person to join Shen Dong’s production team and brush him off. At the very least, it had to be an actress who had a lot of influence in Country Z and whose acting skills could satisfy Shen Dong.
In Jia Le, there were less than five actresses who met the criteria. The others, including Guan Yun, their schedules were full. They could not take the time to go to R Nation for filming.
The only one who had time was Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen would be able to end the filming of “Rain and Fog” soon. Moreover, Ye Xuan did not take on too many variety shows and business activities for her. The timing was just right.
Lu Zhen had nothing to say. She thought that she could finally have time to prepare for the exam, but who knew that another mission would suddenly come?
Seeing that Lu Zhen did not speak, Ye Xuan said, “I’ve roughly read the script. It’s not bad, but your character doesn’t have many highlights.”
If it was a very outstanding role and she was working with a big director like Shen Dong, then this role would be given to Lu Zhen first from the beginning and not to the actress with an A rating in Jia Le.
“It’s fine. I’m just here to save the day. It doesn’t matter what the role is. If you think there’s no problem, then accept it.” Lu Zhen nodded.
Ye Xuan had long known that Lu Zhen would not refuse. When she heard this, she did not say anything polite or grateful. She only told her to pay attention to the timing before hanging up.
Lu Zhen sighed silently in her heart, but her mood was not too affected. A few days later, the cast and crew of “Rain and Fog” set off for Newport.
Lu Zhen had never been to Newport before. After getting off the plane, many people around her spoke in Newport language that she did not understand at all. She looked at the city lights that were gradually lighting up not far away and felt the prosperity of this city.
Newport was not large, but it was an important business center worldwide. In history, Country Z had been called “Heaven” by foreign city-states, while Newport had the titles of “Entrance to Heaven” and “City of Dreams”.
Newport was considered Gao Fan’s second hometown. He was very familiar with this place. He brought the production team to a big restaurant on the bustling commercial street for a meal and then brought Lu Zhen to a custom-made clothing shop to try on clothes.
In the few scenes in Newport, Lu Zhen finally put on slightly more modern clothes.
However, it was not very gorgeous or exquisite. It was just a very ordinary high-class hotel foreman’s uniform and a black suit.
Gao Fan had an extreme grasp of the details. He got the tailor to make clothes for Lu Zhen strictly according to the style of dress of that era. Even the fabric was specially custom-made at the factory.
The filming in Newport went very smoothly. Lu Zhen and Li Feng, who had a tacit understanding, could already perfectly coordinate with each other’s rhythm and act out a scene that looked calm on the surface but was actually surging with undercurrents.
After Lu Zhen finished filming her last scene, the production team would return to Hua City.
