115: Chapter 119: The Past, Present (3) 115: Chapter 119: The Past, Present (3) Having just returned, the set had already been cleared.
The props that Jiang Xuanqi had disrupted were also set aside, neatly arranged.
Jiang Xuanqi herself was helped by an assistant to the make-up room to tidy up.
Director Li was walking around with the newly cast male lead, Lu Jiayuan, looking around.
When he saw Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao come in, Director Li’s eyes lit up, “Zexiao, where have you been?
Come, come, let me introduce you.
This is the second male lead, Lu Jiayuan, one of the key stars of ‘Eternal Heart.’ Jiayuan, this is…”
“I know.” Lu Jiayuan nodded, his eyes sparkling with interest as he looked over Yu Zexiao: “The famous Yu Zexiao!
A high-achiever from Princeton University, who three years ago won an all-American Grammy with the song ‘I Like, I Do,’ and then returned to Huaxia Country to develop his career.
In just three short years, he has become a world-renowned superstar!”
As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Yu Zexiao: “Hello, my name is Lu Jiayuan, but you can also call me by my English name JASON.
I’m very pleased to have the opportunity to work with you.”
Although Lu Jiayuan wasn’t as eye-catching as Yu Zexiao, his polite demeanor and clean, outstanding personal style made him instantly likeable.
However, Yu Zexiao clearly wasn’t among those charmed.
Looking at Lu Jiayuan’s outstretched hand, he frowned slightly but didn’t extend his own hand to shake it.
Instead, he put his hands behind him and said indifferently, “Oh.”
An “Oh,” just one word, clearly stunned Lu Jiayuan, who, despite his good composure, was completely taken aback!
Over the years, not only had he made a name for himself in the acting circle through ‘Eternal Heart,’ but he also was the manager of Huasi Film and Television, a company newly established in North America by Situ.
His participation in the filming of ‘Eternal Heart’ was also due to Huasi Film and Television’s investment in the TV series.
Huasi Film and Television was originally a Hollywood film company that had gone bankrupt before being acquired and restructured.
From movie investments to American dramas, it had suddenly breathed new life into the previously exhausted film company.
With the success of ‘Eternal Heart,’ Lu Jiayuan became a prominent figure, welcomed and pursued wherever he went.
Originally, he came to Huaxia Country following his company’s orders to check on the TV series’ filming progress.
After all, Huasi Film and Television was also an investor in ‘Rock Youth.’
He never expected that Liu Sicheng would be in a car accident, leaving the position of second male lead vacant.
Situ Xuan was tied up in the United States at the time.
That month, he had Ya Jiayi inform the president of Huasi Film and Television to have Lu Jiayuan, who was staying in Huaxia Country, take over the filming of ‘Rock Youth’ and, by the way, “report” on Yu Zexiao’s situation.
Because of this, Director Li and the others were completely welcoming of Lu Jiayuan’s arrival.
It could be said that it had been a long time since he had received a cold reception like the one from Yu Zexiao!
Lu Jiayuan’s hand, suddenly frozen in mid-air, and those around him, including Director Li, knew of Yu Zexiao’s temperament.
They offered awkward smiles, trying to smooth things over: “Hehehe, although Zexiao is not very talkative, he is actually a very amiable person.”
There was nobody on the set harder to serve than him, okay?
However, his difficult nature was mostly a headache for Jian Anning alone.
Others hardly caught his interest enough to interact with them!
