Chapter 140 Visiting the Set

Regarding the matter of signing with Chen Nian's studio, Su Xiao and Liu Ting felt that it was impossible for at least a year.

The endorsements they currently have were all recently signed and will not end for another year. However, it is also a question whether there will be new contracts within that year.

"What private things did you say?" Chen Nian asked curiously as he returned to his seat.

"Since it's private, naturally you can't know," Liu Ting said quietly, then asked, "Speaking of which, don't you plan to sign any artists for your studio in the future?"

"An artist? You mean a singer, right?" Chen Nian pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. I didn't think so at first, but Lin Ran's words made me think she had a point."

"Your childhood sweetheart?"

"Yes, she said that if more songs are created in the future, it will be a win-win situation for the singers signed to her studio, both in terms of copyright management and profits."

It has to be said that Chen Nian was persuaded by Lin Ran. As a little money-grubber, he naturally did whatever it took to earn more money.

"That makes sense," Liu Ting nodded.

In a sense, Su Xiao missed an opportunity; otherwise, signing with Chen Nian's studio right now would have been a good thing.

"Sigh." Su Xiao sighed. Twenty million, she couldn't come up with that even if she sold herself.

The three drank until dawn. Chen Nian looked at Su Xiao, who was already quite drunk, and said to Liu Ting, "She can sleep at your place tonight."

"Okay, give me a hand." Liu Ting naturally wouldn't let Chen Nian take Su Xiao back; who knows what might happen.

After helping Su Xiao to Liu Ting's room, Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when Liu Ting suddenly remembered something and called him back.

"My flight back is tomorrow night. I'm visiting my best friend on set tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

"Visit the set?" Chen Nian was about to refuse.

Liu Ting continued, "Didn't you say you hoped to have the opportunity to film that 'A Chinese Odyssey' movie? It just so happens that she's filming a fantasy film right now."

Chen Nian's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "I'll go, but is it okay if I come along?"

"No problem, come find me at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Liu Ting waved her hand and then closed the door.

As Chen Nian left the hotel, he was filled with anticipation. Visiting the set was a novel experience for him, and he was sure to be able to watch others film up close.

Although he didn't understand this, he did think about whether there was a chance to make Stephen Chow's movie.

Back in his apartment, Chen Nian glanced at Lin Zai's door next door. The lights were off; he hadn't seen her for the past few days.

He feels it's necessary to buy a car now, as he's been taking taxis everywhere lately, and sometimes waiting for a taxi takes up a lot of time.

Silent night...

The next day, when Su Xiao woke up, she noticed a hand on her abdomen. Her mind went blank. Could she be at Chen Nian's house?

The next moment, she glanced to the side and was somewhat disappointed when she saw Liu Ting's delicate face.

"Oh dear, someone looks disappointed," Liu Ting suddenly opened her eyes and said quietly.

Su Xiao was startled. When she came to her senses, her face turned red, and she glared at her.

"You woke up early?"

"I just woke up and was getting ready to get up when I found you were awake. Luckily, I decided to tease you a bit. Sigh, I didn't expect someone to be so eager to tease me."

"screw you!"

"Alright, now that you're awake, hurry back." Liu Ting urged Su Xiao to leave.

Su Xiao looked wary and said, "I'm on vacation today, I'll go with you guys."

"You need to go back to sleep," Liu Ting said seriously.

"I don't need it, but I'll still go!" Su Xiao said firmly.

Seeing this, Liu Ting was somewhat surprised. She cupped Su Xiao's oval face in one hand and teased, "I have to say, you've changed a lot since I first met you."

"What changes?" Su Xiao blinked.

"cheeky..."

Liu Ting got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. "Okay, I'm going to visit my best friend on set with him today. Come along, since you have a car."

"Visiting the set?" Su Xiao paused, then asked uncertainly, "Is it that spy drama currently filming in Guangzhou?"

"Oh, you know?" Liu Ting asked, somewhat surprised.

"My best friend is here too," Su Xiao said with delight.

Who is your best friend?

"Su Wanwan."

"Oh, the second female lead?"

Liu Ting looked surprised; she hadn't expected that the first and second female leads were each other's best friends.

At 10 o'clock sharp, Chen Nian arrived at the entrance of the Leiden Hotel.

Before long, Su Xiao's car stopped in front of him. Liu Ting, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled down the window and waved to him.

"Get on the bus, let's go!"

"Huh?" Chen Nian was somewhat surprised to see Su Xiao in the driver's seat, then opened the car door and got in.

The next moment, Su Xiao started the car and drove off.

"A day off today?" Chen Nian asked curiously.

"Okay, I'll take a day off today," Su Xiao replied. For her, taking a day off was really difficult; she only had two or three days off a month.

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian sighed inwardly, "Being a celebrity is tiring, but it also pays a lot."

It also depends on their status. He had heard Lin Ran say that the new employees the company had just signed only earned five or six thousand yuan a month. For a long time, the company was essentially supporting these new employees.

This thing is like raising poisonous insects; you never know when one of them might become incredibly popular.

The car sped onto the highway and arrived at a quaint street on the outskirts of Guangzhou more than an hour later.

This place retains its medieval arcade buildings and has been a filming location for many spy dramas.

After finding a parking spot, Liu Ting and Su Xiao walked inside hand in hand, while Chen Nian followed behind them, looking around.

He still doesn't know much about Guangzhou; there are many places he hasn't been to.

A short while later, Liu Ting and Su Xiao stopped in their tracks; a film was being shot not far away.

Upon seeing this, Chen Nian's eyes lit up. He watched carefully as the wires and other props were being deployed, and many people were moving around.

The next moment, the director gave the order, and filming began.

The cameras were all pointed at the platform of an arcade building. Suddenly, gunshots rang out from inside the building, followed by footsteps. Two figures appeared from the platform one after the other, fired a few shots into the building, and then jumped down from the platform.

Chen Nian looked surprised. Jumping from the second floor was at least five or six meters, and even with something cushioning him, it was still quite frightening.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't dare to jump.

After a brief respite, the two stumbled and ran towards one end of the street, disappearing around the corner in no time.

"Was that staggering manner a fall, or was it an act?" Chen Nian asked Liu Ting, who was standing next to him.

"Idiot, of course it's fake. If it were real, we'd be in an ambulance by now," Liu Ting said.

"I see." Chen Nian hadn't expected the two actors to be so realistic.

"By the way, that woman from earlier, that's my best friend, isn't she?" Liu Ting patted Chen Nian's shoulder and whispered.

"Not bad, a real beauty. It's true that most of the friends of beautiful women are also beautiful women!" Chen Nian said seriously.

Liu Ting raised an eyebrow. "That's right. Oh, by the way, the second female lead is Su Xiao's best friend. What a coincidence."

'

Chen Nian knew nothing about their circle, and in any case, he didn't have many friends in his own circle.

Of course, right now, can Liu Ting and the others be considered as my circle of friends?

"Okay, Act Two, begin!" the director continued, and then the camera moved to the other side of the street.

A beautiful woman in military uniform, accompanied by several soldiers, jogged over and rushed into the house, staging a scene where she was a step too late.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Su Xiao excitedly exclaimed, "That's my best friend, Wanwan!"

"Oh, wow, impressive, and she's a beauty too." Chen Nian nodded in agreement, watching intently.

The three of them stood on the perimeter for more than half an hour before the scene was finally filmed.

At this point, the director suggested they rest and have lunch on the spot, and that marked the end of the event.

Seeing this, Liu Ting took Su Xiao's hand and walked towards the film crew, acting as if they were old friends. She playfully patted her best friend, who was reading the script, startling her.

The other person turned around in surprise, and upon seeing Liu Ting in front of them, exclaimed with delight, "Liu Ting, what brings you here? You didn't even tell me you were coming!"

"Isn't this a surprise for you?" Liu Ting chuckled, then introduced her to Su Xiao and Chen Nian, "My best friend, Wan Cai'er."

"Surprise my foot, you'll get a scare too." The other person rolled their eyes at her resentfully, then looked at Chen Nian beside them with a smile.

"So that's how it is. You're here to see Chen Nian. Hey, handsome guy!" Wan Cai'er's beautiful eyes darted around as she looked at Chen Nian up close. She had to admit that he was indeed handsome.

No wonder my best friend fell for him; he's handsome and talented.

"This is Su Xiao, you should know her, right? Oh, and Wanwan is her best friend, she's here to visit the set too," Liu Ting said to Wan Cai'er.

"Oh, Wanwan's friend, she's changing clothes." Wan Cai'er pointed to the entrance not far away.

"Okay, I'll go check on her first," Su Xiao said shyly, then went to find Su Wanwan.

After Su Xiao left, Wan Cai'er pulled Liu Ting aside and whispered, "What's wrong with you? Your rivals are all hanging out together?"

"What the hell? Rival my foot! Don't talk nonsense." Liu Ting said speechlessly, "Your head is always full of wild ideas."

"Being near the water tower gives you an advantage, I'm just afraid you'll miss the opportunity," Wan Cai'er said.

"Um, you guys are talking a bit loudly." Chen Nian smiled awkwardly to himself, wanting to remind them.

Before long, Su Xiao and her friend came out, and the friend looked infatuated when she saw Chen Nian.

"It's the living Nian-ge! He's so handsome!" Su Wanwan leaned closer to Chen Nian, looking him over with curiosity. "Hey Nian-ge, why didn't you take Xiaoxiao with you when you resigned?"

"You need to know..."

"Waaah, you... what?" Wanwan was suddenly covered in the mouth by Su Xiao.

"Ignore her, that's just the kind of person she is." Su Xiao blushed and tightly covered Su Wanwan's mouth to prevent her from continuing to talk nonsense.

Chen Nian laughed heartily, and had to admit that these two girls' best friends had personalities that were somewhat opposite to theirs.

"Let's go. Since we're here, let's rest this afternoon. We don't have a show until the evening. Let's grab a bite to eat nearby first," Wan Cai'er suggested, then led them to a nearby tea restaurant.
