Is that woman pretty?
Xu Chun paused for a moment, then replied, "... It looks good."
"That solves it. There's bound to be some reaction. I don't have a problem in that area."
After listening to Xu Jin's words, Xu Chun had to admit that she felt much relieved. Although she still felt somewhat guilty, she was at least somewhat at ease.
The next day, when she saw Xie Jianyuan on set again, she was even able to greet him calmly.
Xie Jianyuan looked like he hadn't slept well last night; there were faint shadows under his eyes, and his brows were furrowed. He asked in a deep voice, "Brother Chun, what happened to you yesterday? Did something suddenly happen?"
Yesterday, after Xu Chun finished filming, he suddenly said that his stomach hurt and he needed to go home to rest. After seeing that he didn't have any more scenes to film, the director let him go home first.
Xu Chun, recalling her embarrassing moment yesterday, smiled somewhat sheepishly, "It's nothing. I wasn't feeling well yesterday, but I'm much better now."
Xie Jianyuan's brows relaxed slightly, but his tone remained low, "That's good." He paused, glanced at Xu Chun again, and joked carefully, "I thought you were uncomfortable acting in that kind of scene with me."
"... How could that be?" Xu Chun smiled. "If I really minded, I wouldn't have taken this role."
Xie Jianyuan finally smiled.
Xu Chun secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the matter was temporarily over.
The latest episode of the variety show "Searching for the Limits " that was filmed earlier has been broadcast, and it has immediately caused a heated discussion on the Internet. The trending Xie Jianyuan include the tags Xu Chun, Of Course #hanging high.
Regarding the game, I urge all die-hard fans not to attack each other just because two handsome young men are trending together.
"Why is Xu Chun always on variety shows lately? She used to be such a low-key actress, but she's become so arrogant. It's a pity."
"Go back to the upstairs comment. Everyone needs to make a living too. Besides, which eye of yours saw that Xu Chun's acting skills have declined? She has two new dramas filming right now."
"This man is actually impulsive, he's in love [doge emoji]"
"Chun Chun doesn't know, Chun Chun is pitiful. Stop bringing him up all the time. Fans of the other fandom should also control their own mad dogs, ugh."
"Am I the only one who noticed that Xu Chun is such a clueless straight man? Bai Lingling asked him to buy ice cream, and he actually told someone else to go find a staff member."
"It's so nice to be pretty like this; people are vying to buy her ice cream. When Xie Jianyuan bought it for her, ladies, I'm so jealous."
Xu Chun's fans and Xie Jianyuan's fans are divided into two groups, disliking each other and engaging in heated debates in the comments section. If there is any consensus they have reached, it is that they both believe the other is shamelessly trying to gain attention.
Seeing Xu Chun trending on social media again, his team tried to push things forward, hoping to gain the upper hand and use Xie Jianyuan to solidify Xu Chun's position. But Xie Jianyuan's team was not willing to give up.
The two companies started fighting behind the scenes, each buying articles to praise the other to their detriment. These days, it's no longer fashionable to awkwardly exaggerate someone's beauty; sophisticated smear campaigns that praise the opponent to their detriment are the way to go.
They are artists from the same company, but they act like mortal enemies. However, both teams understand that this is actually another form of cooperation. After all, this can both win over and retain fans, and maintain the topic's popularity, so it can be considered a win-win situation.
Xu Chun is currently shuttling between two film sets, which is taking a toll on him both mentally and physically. However, he is determined to change his future and continues to persevere.
However, Xie Jianyuan was young after all, and he didn't show any signs of fatigue despite working the same high-intensity job as Xu Chun. He was still full of energy, which made Xu Chun a little envious.
"Brother Chun, have you not been getting enough rest lately?" Xie Jianyuan asked with some concern.
Xu Chun shook her head. Although she wanted to deny it, she couldn't help but yawn in the end.
"A little. I finished work quite late last night and didn't sleep well."
Xie Jianyuan frowned slightly upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Then do you need to rest for a while?"
Xu Chun smiled and said, "No need, it's not that exaggerated."
The director of "Twin Cities" has announced the resumption of filming, Xu Chun is currently on set. She just finished filming a scene with Shen Zhu.
Shen Zhu's acting skills are not bad either; he was even nominated for the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor a few years ago. However, Xu Chun's acting skills have been honed through two lifetimes, and he can be said to completely outshine Shen Zhu.
In the film, he raises a gun to his temple, and every detail—from his expression of suppressed pain to his bloodshot eyes and the faintly visible veins on his forehead—is incredibly expressive.
Shen Zhu was completely overshadowed, but he didn't show any resentment or other unusual expressions. After the director yelled "cut," he even patted Xu Chun on the shoulder and chatted with him intimately for a few minutes. Xu Chun naturally responded to him in a warm manner.
When they had finished chatting, he walked toward the director, seemingly wanting to take a closer look at the playback.
Xu Chun watched his retreating figure, her gentle smile gradually fading, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Shen Zhu is an unfathomable person. In my previous life, after we broke off relations, he still greeted me with a smile, but he was ruthless and decisive in stabbing me in the back.
Xu Chun's eyes turned completely cold as she recalled the "good deeds" he had done in the past.
"Brother Chun? Brother Chun?"
The familiar deep voice rang in her ears, abruptly pulling Xu Chun from her memories. Turning her head, she saw a magnified handsome face before her, and Xu Chun instinctively took a few steps back.
"I see you're spacing out." Xie Jianyuan narrowed his dark eyes slightly, glanced at Shen Zhu, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Chun naturally couldn't tell him all this nonsense, so she smiled and changed the subject, asking, "What brings you here?"
Xie Jianyuan pointed to the script in his hand and showed it to Xu Chun, "I'd like to ask Brother Chun to help me explain this scene."
Xu Chun was surprised that he would come to ask her for advice. After a slight pause, she quickly realized what was going on and finally showed some awareness of being a senior.
"Let me see."
As the two were discussing the script, Xie Jianyuan's assistant approached from the other side. He first greeted Xu Chun, then whispered something to Xie Jianyuan.
