Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 973 - 962: Movie King

"Scandals? What scandals?" Director Song was truly reluctant to lose an actor who matched his intentions, so he promised somewhat uneasily, "As long as it’s not about using drugs or anything prohibited by the national laws, we can talk it out."

"No, director, you’re overthinking it." Ye Qiu chuckled, feeling deeply moved inside, and started to explain.

"I am now an artist under Deep Blue Entertainment. I used to be part of a duo called X.Y. with another artist, but we disbanded later due to a decline in popularity and conflicts in ideas."

Upon hearing this name, Director Song couldn’t help but feel perplexed: "The person who named your group certainly didn’t major in biology!"

Ye Qiu genuinely laughed at this: "Director, now’s not the time to fuss about these things. In fact, I had some conflicts with this group member, and he, along with his current agent, fabricated numerous scandals to prevent me from rising. So, although I’m not well-known now, I have plenty of scandals."

"Is that all you’re worried about?" Director Song waved his hand, "This kind of thing is too common in the entertainment industry, not a big deal."

"But what if this affects the drama because of me?" Ye Qiu was somewhat worried, "After all, the company has already banned me."

Director Song shook his head and chuckled upon hearing this: "You’re overcomplicating matters. A big company wouldn’t completely shut off a source of profit. You don’t have any serious vendetta with the company, and besides, we haven’t even formed the team yet. Is it worth them spending so much effort?"

"So, I got the role?" Ye Qiu smiled youthfully.

Director Song firmly patted his shoulder: "The role of Bai Song in my drama is yours!"

Ye Qiu looked at him with determination and promised: "I won’t let the director down."

The male lead was an old acquaintance of Director Song, though only thirty, yet he’d been striving in the entertainment circle for years like a seasoned actor. However, he hadn’t been very lucky, so he remained somewhat obscure, just getting a familiar face among the audience.

As for the female lead, she had problems similar to Ye Qiu. She was once popular, but due to issues like being kept as a mistress and rivalry, she offended an actress with a strong background and was suppressed for almost two years now.

The truth of those issues Ye Qiu didn’t know, but this actress indeed had real acting skills. She came to the crew because she was out of work and wanted to make one last gamble.

So it goes that although this drama’s director wasn’t famous, the crew didn’t have much funding, the leads’ acting skills were exceptional. Even the old lady picking trash in the neighborhood might arouse audience curiosity about whether she’d played a wicked mother-in-law in a family drama or if an old security guard had played an eunuch in a palace intrigue drama.

Due to the tight schedule, Director Song selected the nearest auspicious day to start filming, unaware that three months later, this drama would become a sensation online, sparking widespread controversy and becoming a hit.

Meanwhile, as Ye Qiu busied himself joining the crew to start acting, Li Ge also leveraged her excellent abilities to become an agent for a small artist in Sweet Orange Entertainment.

"Hello, Sister Gezi." The boy nodded coolly at her.

But the experienced Li Ge easily detected his nervousness, offering a gentle smile: "Hello, we’re partners from now on. Don’t worry, although I just graduated, I will definitely make you famous."

"I believe in you." The boy’s eyes sparkled, "But, Sister Gezi, I’ve heard that though you’ve never managed anyone before, you’re highly valued. Why did you choose me?"

"Don’t doubt yourself; you’re outstanding." Li Ge nodded at him assuringly.

Her words weren’t unfounded. Although in her past life, she hadn’t heard of Wen Chuan, Wen Chuan’s current appearance was striking, naturally sporting a cool demeanor, resembling a CEO’s son.

Yet internally, he starkly contrasted his exterior, exhibiting spontaneity and naivety. This combination of appearance and personality has both advantages and disadvantages. The plus side is that the stark contrast easily attracts fans, while the downside is some fans might not accept his broken persona.

However, from the onset, Li Ge hadn’t planned to create a public image for him. Wen Chuan is diligent himself, whether singing, dancing, or acting. Although not the best at any, he excels at doing all of them the most and never complains.

Li Ge disliked trouble because in her previous life, she and Ye Qiu had faced countless troubles, hence she preferred obedient artists. And Wen Chuan met her expectations perfectly.

She didn’t understand why in her past life Wen Chuan had not made it big despite his conditions, but in this life with her, she was determined to introduce this gem of a boy to the broad audience.

Ye Qiu was still unaware that at this moment his wife’s attention was fully occupied by this boy, and in the future, he didn’t know how much jealousy he would endure because of this.

"Cut! Everyone performed excellently today. Wrap up, my treat." Director Song waved his hand, smiling at everyone.

"What a rarity, Song Kookoo is finally willing to treat?" The female lead Xu Dai taunted him playfully with a coquettish look.

Today’s shoot depicted the female lead Bai Xue working at a bar, so her attire was somewhat alluring, but Xu Dai naturally possessed a stunning beauty, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been involved in so many rivalry announcements in the past.

"Old Song, how much have you prepared? Let me pick a spot." The male lead, Chen Hesheng, laughed patting his old friend’s shoulder, "Why not have seafood, I’ve been craving for a long time."

"Spare me, please." Director Song chuckled bitterly, "Old Xiang, I already reserved a spot."

"Tsk, director’s no fun." The coordinator rolled his eyes.

Ye Qiu smiled mediating: "Eating Hunan cuisine is fine too, but I want at least ten pounds of spicy crayfish."

"With so many people here, ten pounds won’t cut it, let’s start with twenty pounds." Xu Dai instigated.

"Let me count how many we have..." Chen Hesheng seriously started counting heads.

Director Song smiled bitterly: "Please have mercy, twenty pounds, no more." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Alright, twenty pounds it is, once we finish those twenty pounds of crayfish, I won’t call you Song Kookoo anymore."

A group of people enthusiastically headed to the restaurant, due to shooting progressing smoothly, the wrap-up time might be much earlier than anticipated so everyone was in high spirits.

Especially during the shooting, with both directors and leads and every crew member feeling that this was a good drama, everyone was full of hope.

Taking this opportunity, everyone dined together and drank, after all, in this circle, a harmonious crew like theirs was one of a kind.
