103: Chapter 106 The Candidate (3) 103: Chapter 106 The Candidate (3) On the film set.
Although Liu Sicheng had never joined the crew, he was still cast as the second male lead.
His illness caused quite a stir recently.
Even Jian Anning, who had previously known nothing about the Huaxia Country entertainment industry, occasionally saw news about Liu Sicheng and “Rock Youth” when managing Yu Zexiao’s fan forum and Weibo.
However, after the initial concern for Liu Sicheng, the fans’ attention gradually shifted to “Rock Youth.” This drama, originally starring Yu Zexiao, Liu Sicheng, and Jiang Xuanqi with a first-rate production team, was scheduled to air weekly, just like American and Korean dramas.
Now, it had come to this, and one really didn’t know what to say!
But no matter how chaotic it was outside, filming progress continued.
Due to Liu Sicheng’s absence, Director Li could only leave the second male lead’s parts out and shoot other scenes.
As the male lead, Yu Zexiao naturally had the most screen time.
These past few days, he had stayed on set almost day and night.
With so much going on, his petty schemes had also quieted down.
And Jian Anning was naturally relieved—after the “humiliation” she had suffered that night, she had now gotten her mindset right.
She even suspected that Yu Zexiao was intentionally trying to knock her down a peg, afraid she might develop real feelings for him, which was why he alternately drew close to and repelled her.
She was just a humble woman there only for the paycheck.
Anyway, once everything settled down, she would still return to Canada.
That was where she was born and raised.
Jian Anning had just walked in with the afternoon tea meal box when Yu Zexiao was acting opposite Jiang Xuanqi.
After struggling for many days at first, Yu Zexiao could now adapt quickly to acting with Jiang Xuanqi.
At most, during romantic scenes, he would automatically block Jiang Xuanqi’s face from his vision and mind.
Although he had never officially acted before, he had done commercials and music videos and had received training in that area.
Besides, the male lead character was as proud and unyielding as he was; some actions, some behaviors, came naturally to him without the need for any switch.
And Jiang Xuanqi was naturally pleased.
Yu Zexiao’s attitude towards her was no longer as cold as before.
Although not warm, after all, Yu Zexiao had specially chased after her out of the private room last time to help her “rebuke” Jian Anning.
It proved that, in fact, he did care for her in his heart.
As for that damned assistant…
Jiang Xuanqi’s beautiful eyes swept to the side unnoticed, and when she saw Jian Anning delivering the dinner she had made for Yu Zexiao, a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.
Turning back to him, she smiled with a curled lip, “Zexiao, let’s go out to eat after we finish the last scene, shall we?
I know a great hot pot restaurant nearby.”
Seeing Yu Zexiao’s brows slightly furrowed, Jiang Xuanqi thought he was worried about being recognized, so she laughed, “Don’t worry, that hot pot restaurant has private rooms.
We just need to be careful, and we won’t get recognized.”
As she spoke, she gave a meaningful glance back at Jian Anning with a light laugh, “My assistant won’t go spreading rumors.
If you’re worried, it’s best not to bring along some less familiar faces.”
