Shen Lanze was by now an old-timer in the film and television industry, having debuted for six years. Last year he starred in two Lunar New Year films, both of which were box-office hits. Naturally, the title of Best Actor fell into his pocket once again. He was even voted "the most charming male movie star" by Entertainment Weekly. This year, it was said that he had taken on four Lunar New Year films, and judging by that alone, his momentum seemed unstoppable.
Momo had seen his movies. From a fresh-faced heartthrob to a Best Actor, he indeed had something extraordinary. However, he couldn’t escape the label of a "vase" male star, the reason being Shen Lanze’s love for beauty was well-known. When Momo saw him today, it was exactly as rumored.
After the male lead arrived, the makeup room buzzed with activity. Compared to Momo’s side, Shen Lanze’s was much more exaggerated—with not just two makeup artists but also three or four assistants.
But having more people made things faster, and no sooner had Momo finished her makeup than Shen Lanze had already changed his clothes and was waiting for her to change.
The two had not properly greeted each other since they met, and now they were about to start shooting the MTV, including scenes with romantic rivalry. Still in the phase of strangers, naturally, they needed to get to know each other. So after Momo emerged from the dressing room, Shen Lanze advanced with a stride of a gentleman, offering Momo a slight smile tinged with a suave air. He introduced himself openly, "Hello, Shen Lanze."
After speaking, he extended a hand to Momo. Momo courteously returned the smile, "Hello, I’m Ling Momo." Then she reached out her hand, and the two lightly shook hands. Momo was the first to let go of Shen Lanze’s hand, nodded slightly to him with an indifferent expression, and turned to ask the staff nearby, "Are we about to start shooting?"
Shen Lanze, who had originally put on a facade of politeness, couldn’t help but take another look at Momo, who seemed so nonchalant—it was the first time someone had been so composed in face of him during his collaboration with a female star!
About ten minutes later, everything was settled, and the shooting officially began.
The first scene was set in a café where the girl secretly stared at the boy, daydreaming.
Before the shooting, the director emphasized to Momo the need to convey the feelings of secret love and shyness, so Momo worked hard to brew those emotions in her heart.
As soon as the director called action, Lan Zhe’s smiling face turned ice-cold in the blink of an eye. He sat elegantly in the café, silently reading a newspaper, with a steaming cup of coffee on the table in front of him.
The café was filled with beautiful music. Momo sat diagonally across from Lan Zhe, trying her best to keep her expression as tender as possible, occasionally glancing his way. Whenever Lan Zhe lifted his head to take a sip of coffee, Momo would swiftly avert her gaze. Googlᴇ search novel⦿fire.net
After about five minutes, Lan Zhe stood up and left. Momo watched his figure disappear at the café entrance, then slowly shifted her gaze back to the seat Lan Zhe had occupied.
In Momo’s eyes, a faint sorrow shimmered as she stared at the empty chair for a while. Then she stood up and walked toward that vacant spot.
