Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Early in the morning, assistant Xiao Zhou drove the company car to Su Yu's building.

After parking her car, she took out her phone and sent a message to Su Yu: "Brother Yu, I'm downstairs."

Not long after, she saw Su Yu walk out of the stairwell.

Following behind him was another person, Tian Xiwei, who was wearing a milky white down jacket, carrying a backpack, and had her hair tied in a ponytail. She skipped and hopped out behind Su Yu.

Xiao Zhou's face twitched slightly.

"Don't these two carry people on their backs anymore?"

Ever since she saw Tian Xiwei move into Su Yu's rented apartment a few days ago, her positive impression of Su Yu has been completely shattered.

At first, she thought her artist was different from other male celebrities and would be a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

When she privately talked with other celebrities' assistants, she secretly rejoiced that she was lucky to have worked with an artist who was easy to manage and clean.

The results of it?

Su Yu immediately found her a "second sister-in-law".

She knew that Su Yu had dated a girl named Wang Churan on the set of "Oh My General," and she was the one who helped Su Yu book his plane tickets to Shanghai every time he went there.

Just a few months later, he suddenly had another "sister-in-law".

The key point is that Su Yu doesn't seem to have broken up with Wang Churan yet. Not long ago, she booked a plane ticket for Su Yu to Shanghai, and he seemed to be in a very good mood when he came back.

She used to think Su Yu was a virtuous man, but it turns out he's a total scumbag.

"Good morning, Sister Zhou!" Tian Xiwei greeted her energetically.

Xiao Zhou suppressed his inner complaints and put on a professional smile: "Good morning, Teacher Tian."

"Oh, Sister Zhou, you can just call me Xiao Tian. We're all acquaintances, there's no need to be so formal."

Tian Xiwei and Xiao Zhou have met several times already.

Xiao Zhou helped pass on the audition materials. Later, when Xiao Tian came to Beijing for an audition, Xiao Zhou also sent her the audition requirements, so the two of them had some connection.

But Xiao Zhou just couldn't feel close to this "new sister-in-law," because she still had her "younger sister-in-law" far away in Shanghai on her mind.

She's a staunch supporter of Wang Churan; there's no way around it, since Wang Churan often fed her when they were on the set of "Oh My General".

Xiao Zhou didn't respond to Tian Xiwei's words, but turned to look at Su Yu with a questioning gaze.

Su Yu didn't care at all: "Why are you looking at me? Call her whatever you want. I won't mind even if you call her sister-in-law."

"Su Yu, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Tian Xiwei punched him.

Xiao Zhou paused for a moment, then called out "Sister Xiao Tian".

After all, she was just an assistant, and she had no right to interfere in her boss's private life.

Although she had already labeled Su Yu a "scumbag" in her mind, life is life and work is work, and she couldn't let her boss's private life affect her work.

The car arrived at its destination quickly.

Today's meeting was for a script reading, held in Huace's conference room. When Su Yu and Xiao Tian arrived, quite a few people were already seated at the long table.

Director Yang Long sat in the main seat, next to several members of the screenwriting team. Hu Yitian and Wang Ziwei sat opposite them, along with several actors playing supporting roles. They chatted in small groups.

The staff distributed their scripts to the actors, and Yang Long tapped the table: "Everyone, familiarize yourselves with the scripts first. We'll begin in an hour."

Su Yu picked up his script and began to read it carefully. This was the first time he had ever received a complete script, so he read it with extra care.

The script content is not significantly different from the original novel; the main differences are some adjustments to details and optimizations to the pacing.

An hour later, the reading session officially began.

Yang Long presided over the reading of the script in scene order.

When a point needs discussion, Yang Long will stop and analyze the character's state and performance direction scene by scene.

The screenwriter took notes nearby, occasionally adding a few words about the creative intent.

The whole process went relatively smoothly, after all, it was just a low-budget youth drama with a simple plot and the audience's understanding was not significantly different.

When reading a scene between Jiang Chen and Chen Xiaoxi, Yang Long suddenly remembered something and looked up.

"Oh, right, Xiao Su and Xiao Tian."

Su Yu and Tian Xiwei looked over at the same time.

"There are several kissing and intimate scenes in the script, you've all seen them, right? I want to confirm, are you comfortable with that?"

He then added, "If it's not possible, we can say so in advance, and we can use camera tricks to film it. I know some actors might mind these kinds of scenes, especially new co-stars. What do you guys think?"

Su Yu and Tian Xiwei exchanged a glance.

Su Yu remained silent, giving her the right to speak.

Tian Xiwei spoke first, her tone very serious: "Director, I'm fine."

"I think that if we use camera tricks, we can't convey that feeling. The relationship between Jiang Chen and Chen Xiaoxi is the core of this drama. Kissing scenes and intimate scenes are important milestones in the development of their relationship. If we use camera tricks, the audience will feel it, which will reduce the persuasiveness of the emotions."

Upon hearing this, Yang Long and the scriptwriting team all showed expressions of appreciation.

Wang Ziwei nodded slightly beside her, and even Hu Yitian, who is usually not very talkative, glanced at her.

Yang Long nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. It's good that Xiao Tian is so aware of this. Many actresses are very resistant to filming kissing scenes for the first time. We were worried that we would have to do some persuasion, but we didn't expect you to be so straightforward, Xiao Tian."

"After all, I also hope that our drama can be made even better."

Tian Xiwei's serious expression made it seem as if she were stating a decision made purely out of professional ethics.

Su Yu picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip to hide his smug grin.

She wasn't thinking about the drama at all; she clearly just wanted to find an opportunity to be intimate with him openly. Of course, Su Yu wouldn't expose her.

However, the way this girl talks nonsense with such a straight face is actually quite cute.

"Since Teacher Tian has no problem, then I naturally have no problem either."

Su Yu suppressed his smile and replied in a serious tone.

"That's great!"

Yang Long nodded, then looked at Sun Ning, who plays Lu Yang, and Wang Ziwei, who plays Lin Xiaojing; they would also play a couple in the drama.

"You two should be fine too, right?"

The two nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"Since everyone is so dedicated, we're sure we can make this film well."

The subsequent reading went smoothly, and everyone performed very well. The plot of the play was not complicated, and the emotional development of the characters was very clear, so it was not very difficult.

The reading session went very smoothly, and all the sessions were completed before 4 p.m.

Yang Long closed the script, his expression much more relaxed than when he sat down in the morning.

"Everyone did a great job today, and the progress was faster than expected. The work schedule for tomorrow will be sent to your phones later. The main content is the group rehearsal of the performance workshop, so please prepare in advance."

He paused, then added, "By the way, Mr. Dai is treating everyone to dinner tonight. Everyone has worked hard lately, so this is a good opportunity to strengthen our relationships. I'll post the location in the group chat later."

The group responded and began to pack their belongings and leave in twos and threes.

Su Yu stuffed the script into his bag and stood up, just as Tian Xiwei also stood up.

The two looked at each other, then walked side by side toward the door.

To outsiders, their performance would only appear as two dedicated actors discussing the script as they walk.

Tian Xiwei tilted her head slightly, as if she was seriously asking a question, while Su Yu's expression was also very serious, as if he was talking about the details of the script.

But if someone gets closer to listen, they'll know just how explosive their seemingly serious words are.

"Ms. Su, I'll need your help to go over the kissing and intimate scenes with me tonight."

Su Yu nodded, his expression completely calm: "No problem, Teacher Tian, ​​I will definitely teach you everything I know."
