It’s not scary to travel through a book, I’m the villain

"Xi, why did you come here alone? Where is Yanzhi?" Luo Shu happened to meet Yu Xi in the parking lot and looked around her curiously.

"He drove here himself." Yu Qian explained, and then checked the time. "He should be here soon."

Just as he finished his words, a sports car with smooth lines and a very handsome look drove in and stopped right next to them.

"Sister Qian, Director Luo." Chen Yanzhi rolled down the car window, greeted her, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally they arrived at the destination. He was actually a little nervous because he hadn't driven for a long time. He overestimated himself and did not have an accurate understanding of Beijing's complex road conditions. He even took the wrong road halfway.

"Wow!" Luo Shu stared at the car for a while, "Yanzhi, is this your car?"

"Yes."

"That's great, that's great! Do you have other cars? One similar to this one." Luo Shu asked quickly, with excitement in his eyes.

Chen Yanzhi didn't understand what he meant by asking this question, and answered subconsciously: "Yes."

Luo Shu suppressed his inner excitement, rubbed his hands, and smiled brightly, "Yanzhi, it's like this, the play just happens to be short of a few good cars, and the rented cars are too old and not suitable, so yours is better."

Chen Yanzhi: ...

Yu Qian also had a messy look on her face. She looked at Luo Shu with amazement as he gently touched the car several times.

"...Director Luo wants to use my car in the movie?" Chen Yanzhi asked hesitantly.

Luo Shu nodded desperately, looking at him expectantly, "Is it okay?"

"……Row."

"Okay, okay!" Luo Shu laughed loudly and said repeatedly, "Then it's settled! Park the car first, and then we'll go up."

The three of them entered the elevator together and slowly ascended.

"Suddenly I feel that I am quite important." Chen Yanzhi said softly.

"Ah?" The other two didn't understand what he meant and looked at him in confusion.

"Without me, this crew has to disband."

"Hahaha." Yu Qian couldn't help laughing, "You're right."

Luo Shu gave a silly smile.

They went to the 22nd floor, which had been partially renovated by the crew and perfectly matched what the script wanted to show.

Chen Yanzhi looked around and couldn't help but admire Luo Shu's directing ability. Not only did he choose the locations himself, but he was also able to always find such a suitable one. No wonder he was unwilling to give up using Wanchuan for filming.

"How is it? Great, right?" Luo Shu's voice was filled with pride as he waved his hand to show this area.

Chen Yanzhi gave a thumbs up.

"Thanks to Yanzhi, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to borrow the space in Wanchuan, a whole floor at that. The office environment is very high-end and there's no need to make any changes. It's an authentic, real workplace." As soon as Luo Shu got here, he couldn't help chattering.

Yu Qian had been here once before and heard him say these words. She looked at him helplessly.

Luo Shu didn't notice at all and continued, "Wanchuan is really rich and powerful. They allocated two elevators for the crew to use, separate from the employees, which is much more convenient. When they first came to take over, they were very polite to us."

Chen Yanzhi could only nod and be a quiet listener, listening to him.

Suddenly Luo Shu came close to him and asked in a low voice: "Yanzhi, what is your relationship with Boss Wanchuan? I'm just curious. You don't have to tell me if it's inconvenient."

When Luo Shu first proposed to shoot in Wanchuan, he didn't have the idea of ​​success. He just thought that Wanyu was under Wanchuan, and Wanyu's President Wu respected Chen Yanzhi so much. Chen Yanzhi also looked like he had plenty of money, so maybe there was some way he could get it.

Chen Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, looked into Luo Shu's curious eyes, and cleared his throat, "He and I... have a good relationship."

After hearing the answer, Luo Shu immediately smiled happily. He had a good relationship with Boss Wanchuan. He felt so happy that he had found such a big sponsor.

A happy Luo Shu took the two of them to the conference room, where the script reading began.

There was already someone inside. When he saw them come in, he greeted Luo Shu with a smile.

"Let me introduce you. This is Chen Yanzhi, who plays the second male lead in the play." He then pointed to the girl on the other side who was smiling sweetly, "Liang Ziqing, who plays the female lead."

The two shook hands.

"We are all from Wanyu, so we are a family." Yu Qian greeted the people behind Liang Ziqing.

The man also walked over with a smile, "Sister Qian is right, I heard that the artist you are managing is very popular recently, but I haven't had the chance to meet him."

The two agents exchanged pleasantries.

"Please sit down. The male lead hasn't arrived yet. Let's talk first." Luo Shu directly asked everyone to sit down.

"Are you also from Wanyu? Why haven't I seen you in the company before?" Liang Ziqing looked at Chen Yanzhi beside her curiously.

“…I just came out to work.”

Liang Ziqing thought he meant that he had just debuted and nodded, "Oh oh", and looked at him twice, "But I think you look familiar."

"Ah!" She suddenly cried out, "I remembered, are you the one playing the murderer?"

"Yeah, doesn't it look like it?" Chen Yanzhi asked with a smile.

Liang Ziqing was very honest and shook her head and said, "Not really. You must have put on some black powder when you took the photo. I'm really fair and have really good skin."

Being praised by a girl for having good skin, Chen Yanzhi didn't know whether he should be happy or not, so he could only say, "Thank you."

Liang Ziqing was a bit outgoing and immediately pulled Chen Yanzhi aside to talk about her feelings after watching The Murderer, praising him non-stop.

As we were chatting, the actor who played the leading role in the play arrived.

Luo Shu introduced them to each other again and then the reading officially began.

The actor's name was Wang Zongye. Chen Yanzhi was somewhat familiar with him as he had seen a play he had acted in when he was watching a movie. He played a supporting role and his acting was pretty good.

"Do you know him?" Liang Ziqing came over and asked.

Chen Yanzhi shook his head, "I don't know him, how about you?"

"I don't know him either. He looks a bit serious. I'm a bit scared when I think about acting opposite him."

"It's okay, just take good pictures." Chen Yanzhi comforted her.

"Cough." Luo Shu deliberately coughed loudly and looked towards them.

The two people who were gossiping immediately distanced themselves from each other, sat up straight, and stared at the script in front of them, not daring to be distracted.

The script reading lasted for most of the day. Because it was a light-hearted urban drama, the lines were relatively easy to master and the progress was quite smooth.

By the time it was over, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"We'll come over tomorrow to take the final photos. We won't organize dinner for everyone today. Everyone should go back early and try to be in better condition tomorrow." Luo Shu finished his closing remarks and waved his hand.

Everyone said goodbye to each other consciously and then dispersed.

It was also quick to take the final makeup photos the next day, as modern stage makeup is not that time-consuming.

How good Luo Shu is at raising funds can be seen from his clothes; each set looks expensive.

Clothes make the man, and when the final makeup photos were taken, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful, which was very consistent with the positioning of an urban drama.

Amidst such busy preparations, the day of filming began arrived.
