Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 187

"Brother Lu Jiang likes seafood and watermelon, but he doesn't like drinking alcohol. Sister Huanhuan, why is everything about food?"

A QQ message popped up, and Dong Xuan bit her lip as she typed a reply, her cheeks burning: "I can't help it, I can't ask too much in a short time, otherwise people will misunderstand."

A set of urban sophistication, a set of school uniform, a set of police uniform, plus the black stockings at the beginning—and you get these three pieces of information that aren't really of much use.

It seems like a huge loss, but for the people involved in the game, does hobby really matter? Enjoying the process slowly and hoping that the process lasts as long as possible is the best approach.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Huanhuan. Although I can't know too much, this is enough. When I join the crew, I'll bring seafood and watermelon for everyone. Huanhuan, just tell me what you want and I'll bring it for you."

Is this enough?
Dong Xuan quickly replied, "Don't worry, the filming schedule isn't so tight these days, so I can try to find more opportunities to ask around and try to find out something else."

"Will it be too much trouble for you?"

"You've already troubled me for so long, what's a little more? Just listen to me, you still have more than half a month before you join the crew, right?"

"Okay, Huanhuan, what do you like? I'll prepare it for you in advance."

"no thanks."

"Yes, yes, even brothers keep clear accounts. Sister Huanhuan, don't be shy, just tell me, anything I can do is fine."

"You're too kind. If you really want to bring one, then please bring me a back scratcher. There have been a lot of mosquitoes on set these past few days, and I have so many welts on my back that I can't reach them."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely complete the mission! Huanhuan, please take care of yourself!"

"Don't worry, I will."

After closing the QQ interface, Dong Xuan immediately took off her clothes and went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Dong Xuan sent Lu Jiang a text message: "Ding Di, are you done with work?"

After playing the uniform game for more than a week, although Dong Xuan has long since gotten rid of the misunderstanding that "she was toying with Lu Jiang", it was not without other benefits overall.

For example, there was no longer any barrier between her and Lu Jiang in how they addressed each other.

In the past, you had to bring up "road guide" or "boss" before doing anything, but now cute words like "Didi" are used instead.

This ambiguous feeling is truly intoxicating.

"One hour."

Lu Jiang's text message reply arrived.

Dong Xuan's lips curled up.

These three words contain a great deal of information.

The most obvious thing is that they stop being busy after half an hour.

But the deeper meaning is: we can continue playing the game today.

So, what should I wear today?

Dong Xuan immediately opened her suitcase.

She specially went out to buy this a few days ago when she didn't have any scenes to film.

It's not appropriate to ask someone else to buy uniforms; you have to do it yourself.

To find these uniforms, she practically scoured all the clothing wholesale markets in Tianjin.

In the end, I spent over a thousand yuan to buy ten different uniforms.

Three sets have already been used in the past few days. At this rate, Liu Qianqian will probably run out of them before she even joins the production team.

Should we find some time to look for some new styles?

With that thought in mind, Dong Xuan took out a stethoscope and put it around her neck.
An hour later, Lu Jiang pressed the cold stethoscope onto Dong Xuan's heart.

"Your heart is beating too fast. You've been diagnosed with heart disease, and it's in its late stages. You should prepare for the worst."

"Pah, pah, pah, I don't have heart disease." Dong Xuan, dressed in a white coat, chuckled and twisted her body, revealing a large expanse of white skin. "Listen to me again."

"I'm not listening anymore, it's hopeless."

"Then it's my turn to listen~"

"No way, you're a quack! If you diagnose anything wrong, I'll have nowhere to complain!"

Lu Jiang moved away abruptly, refusing to let Dong Xuan take advantage of him.

Dong Xuan, of course, was unwilling, so she used her doctor's authority to try and control the patient. But unfortunately, the wonderful and ambiguous physical contact that was about to begin was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Director Lu, are you asleep?"

It was Li Dawei's voice coming from outside the door.

Dong Xuan immediately looked disappointed and pouted.

Lu Jiang patted her bottom, and Dong Xuan, familiar with the place, slipped into Lu Jiang's room. Clearly, this had happened more than once in the past week.

After Li Dawei came in, the two discussed several shots of the upcoming scenes for about twenty minutes.

But after the discussion, he didn't leave. Instead, he started talking about the TV program, clearly wanting to deepen his relationship with Lu Jiang.

Lu Jiang was naturally unhappy, so he directly texted Baoqiang: "1"

Baoqiang understood immediately and called on the spot.

Lu Jiang: "Hello, oh, Teacher Wang, yes, I'm not busy, what's up?"

Li Dawei understood immediately. Although he felt regretful, he sensibly used lip reading to say, "I'm leaving now."

Lu Jiang nodded and waved goodbye.

After everyone left and the door was closed, Lu Jiang hung up the phone, and Dong Xuan came out pouting, saying, "Director Li is such a spoilsport."

"They're under a lot of pressure, so please be understanding."

Lu Jiang opened his arms, and Dong Xuan was slightly taken aback at first, but then naturally leaned into his arms.

Feeling the warm and strong embrace, Dong Xuan felt overjoyed; their relationship had taken another step forward!

But Lu Jiang didn't make any further moves because his attention had already shifted to the television.

At that moment, BJ channel on TV was broadcasting Deng Chao's "The Emperor of Han Dynasty 1".

Like most mainland-Taiwan co-productions, "The Emperor of Han Dynasty 1" was first broadcast in Taiwan.

A month ago, when the show aired in Taiwan, the media described it as "exceptionally popular".

Of course, the Dawn media team deserves some credit for this, but the show was indeed very popular.

People from Taiwan's CTV even said directly that "the cost of broadcasting mainland dramas is lower than that of Korean dramas, but the ratings remain high," which is enough to show that they are making a profit.

The show has been airing in mainland China for three days now, and Lu Jiang has received news that the ratings are about to break 7, which is quite a good result.

Unfortunately, this show wasn't primarily funded by Dawn, and Dawn only accounted for 8% of the investment.

But it doesn't matter, because this is not just one series. Lu Jiang will definitely take a bigger share of the next two series, unless the other party dares to abandon Deng Chao.

As for Deng Chao's performance in the drama, Lu Jiang seems quite satisfied so far. Even Dong Xuan exclaimed, "Chao'er acted quite well. His scenes with Chen Daomin were surprisingly comfortable."

After watching for a short while, Dong Xuan gave Deng Chao a big thumbs up.

"Of course, in my eyes, Chao'er has the highest potential for acting in our family."

"Isn't it Xiao Qiao?"

“Xiao Qiao is also very promising, but Chao’er has a wider range of roles. He can handle serious dramas and comedies, while Xiao Qiao is not so good at comedy.”

After hearing this, Dong Xuan imagined Qiao Zhenyu making a funny face and burst out laughing.

Qiao Zhenyu is indeed not very suitable for comedy.

"Looks like Chao'er's going to strike it rich this time?"

Dong Xuan asked again.

Lu Jiang nodded: "Absolutely."

Huang Xiaoming officially became famous because of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty".

Compared to Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao's portrayal of Liu Che might be considered less attractive by some, but Lu Jiang believes that Deng Chao's face is more suitable for playing an emperor.

Or rather, this version of Deng Chao has more screen time, giving him more room to develop the character than Huang Xiaoming in the original version.

After all, he already had a lot of initial popularity, and the production team approached him because of that, so they naturally gave him more screen time.

So overall, with the role of Liu Che, Deng Chao might not even need the young emperor in "The World's Finest" to finish him off; he could shed his idol actor label and take off completely.
