In this series, Lu Chiyan plays Jiang Xun, the second male Strange Tales of Luo City, while Xie Tongchu plays Lin Yi, the male lead.
Lu Chiyan nodded politely to Xie Tongchu, "Hello, Teacher Xie Teacher Xie this time. I look forward to Teacher Xie guidance in the future."
After speaking, Lu Chiyan looked at Gu Xia'an, who was standing next to Xie Tongchu, and greeted Gu Xia'an, " Xia An."
He and Gu Xia'an were already quite familiar with each other, so he didn't bother with any formalities. Gu Xia'an nodded in response, also skipping the pleasantries.
Xie Tongchu Lu Chiyan and Gu Xia'an acting like this, he immediately felt uncomfortable, as if he, the male lead, was superfluous.
Xie Tongchu's lips curled slightly as he looked at Lu Chiyan and said sarcastically, "I wouldn't dare to offer any guidance. We all know that Teacher Lu is very popular lately. We see Teacher Lu on the trending topics every day. I'm usually more focused on filming and reading scripts, so I don't really know much about things like trending topics. As for guidance, it's Teacher Lu should give me more advice."
Lu Chiyan: "???"
Lu Chiyan wasn't stupid; these words were clearly an insinuation that as an actor, he didn't focus on acting but instead relied on underhanded methods to get on trending topics, gain traffic, and attention.
To say something like that on the first meeting is either incredibly low in emotional intelligence or she's just plain malicious.
Lu Chiyan wasn't about to indulge him. He smiled slightly at Xie Tongchu and replied politely, " Teacher Xie is too modest. When Teacher Xie's movie ' The You Are the Rest of My Life ' was released, I saw Teacher Xie trending on social media every day. What, Teacher Xie didn't know? Then Teacher Xie is truly indifferent to fame and fortune, unmoved by honor or disgrace, not even caring about the release of his own work."
The subtext: What are you pretending for? Don't you have any self-awareness about how you got yourself trending and doing marketing last month?
Sure enough, Xie Tongchu's face darkened as soon as Lu Chiyan finished speaking.
But since they were in front of the director and so many other actors, even if he was angry, he couldn't let it out on the spot. He could only suppress his anger and force a smile at Lu Chiyan, "What do you mean by that, Teacher Lu?"
"Of course it's a compliment to Teacher Xie," Lu Chiyan with a polite smile. "It means that with such a positive attitude, Teacher Xie will succeed at anything!"
It's just being sarcastic and sarcastic!
As if everyone knows something!
╭(╯^╰)╮
"Alright, alright, stop being so polite, sit down and let's talk." Yan Shengting waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.
Xie Tongchu and Gu Xia'an, one the male lead and the other the female lead, naturally sat on either side of the director. Seeing this, Lu Chiyan sat down next to Gu Xia'an.
After sitting down, Gu Xia'an leaned close to Lu Chiyan's ear and whispered, "This Xie Tongchu, he made a veiled attack on you the moment we met. I don't think he has any good intentions. You'd better be careful in the future."
"He'd better not mess with me." Lu Chiyan's lips twitched slightly, somewhat speechless.
He's just a supporting male character; what did he ever do to deserve this?
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was trying to steal the male lead!
Gu Xia'an laughed and said, "Alright, I overthought it. I almost forgot, you're not one to suffer a loss."
"Instead of worrying about me, worry about yourself first!" Lu Chiyan. "That's your leading man, after all."
Gu Xia'an: "..."
Gu Xia'an glanced at Lu Chiyan, "You really know how to talk!"
