Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (40)

Now that Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan have joined the crew, the staff were actually quite curious about them, but most have good intentions since the duo was able to put an end to the Director’s gloomy mood. Plus, just now they all watched Fang Zhenxuan’s audition scene. As a newcomer, it was amazing and his standard could be ranked above average in the entertainment circle, so it was absolutely no problem for them to play their role. The new duo was able to save them a lot of effort and solve the plight of the crew, so of course they were happy.

The crew took Fang Zhenxuan to apply some make up and change costumes while Chu Xiang sat next to Director Chen and chatted with him. Chen Lifeng had never cooperated with Director Chen before, so she had no contact with him either. When the two were chatting, Director Chen found that Chu Xiang was actually a very thoughtful person. Her words were always filled with wisdom and they exchanged pleasantries back and forth, making him very fond of chatting with Chu Xiang.

Making others comfortable and becoming willing to communicate was an important skill and in the entertainment industry, having such a skill was nothing but good news for networking. Director Chen had a very good impression of Chu Xiang upon meeting her for the first time and he was also very interested in the propaganda method that she had suggested.

The first wave of publicity was to continue utilizing the popularity of the Chu Xiang incident. Director Chen did not expect that Chu Xiang would bring up this matter. After all, even if the slander was fake, being insulted by the whole network for an entire day was enough to make anybody uncomfortable. A person with good senses would not bring this up, especially in front of Chu Xiang.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xiang had not only mentioned it, but also suggested that Director Chen release Fang Zhenxuan’s makeup photo today and officially announce that he would play the role of ‘Zhou Yanjun’.

Fang Zhenxuan was the trending search on the previous night and he was still in the top 30 searches this morning. If there was any special news about him in this wave, it would definitely make the headlines again. Because netizens were very impressed with Fang Zhenxuan now, the amount of discussion would not lose to the A-grade stars once they realize the newbie was able to join the cast of such a large IP drama in the blink of an eye.

The official announcement focusing on Fang Zhenxuan would not only promote ‘Legend of the Consort Jing’ but also let everyone know most intuitively that the crew has re-shot the role of the drug-addicted actor. Then, the public would no longer associate the drug addict with ‘Legend of the Consort Jing’. Therefore, the drama could completely draw a line between them and the topic of the drug abuser, which would undoubtedly be a good thing.

Director Chen couldn’t help but take a serious look at Chu Xiang after hearing the pros and cons in detail.

Chu Xiang stopped smiling and asked, “What’s the matter, Director Chen?”

Director Chen sighed, “Little Chu, you are amazing.”

Chu Xiang smiled slightly, “If you’re not so strong, you would be gnawed to the bone long ago. As for yesterday’s matter, Director Chen should also believe that my proposal is usable.”

Director Chen nodded and clapped his hands, “I’ll tell the producer what you think and see what they would do about it. If it’s done, everyone would be happy, but if it doesn’t, that’s fine as well. As long as Little Fang shoots this role well, I believe he will be able to attract a lot of fans when ‘Legend of Consort Jing’ is broadcasted. ”

“Of course, I am very confident in the person I chose. Don’t worry, Director Chen, I will follow the crew throughout Zhenxuan’s filming process. If he doesn’t act well, I will privately urge him to practice. Anyway, he is a young man and is not afraid of hard work. Rather, the rarer trait about him is that he is constantly self-motivated. Director Chen, you don’t have to be easy on him, so please continue to remain strict because he will not disappoint you.”

“Hahaha, okay, then I won’t be holding back.”

With just a few words from Chu Xiang, Fang Zhenxuan obtained the opportunity to be given advice by Director Chen. Sometimes, a few words from the Director might be more effective than a professional teacher, which was considered a very precious experience.

It seemed that they were just a few simple words, but in fact, to be accepted by Director Chen, she had to give him a good impression of them. Everything needed to be linked together to ensure that the influence was formed in a subtle and silent way.

After Director Chen told the producer of Chu Xiang’s suggestion, he had a brief meeting with the people who were in charge of the publicity and planning stages. They thought that the suggestion was feasible and immediately took a photo of Fang Zhenxuan’s post-makeup look.

The footage of Fang Zhenxuan’s audition was honed over and over again. Now that the filming was about to start, things were not that simple. He took the script and concentrated on thinking about what kind of expression the character should have and what kind of movements would be considered natural. He was so engrossed with it that he didn’t notice Chu Xiang approaching him.

Chu Xiang quickly finished watching his progress before she patted his arm and said to him, “Let me tell you something— listen carefully.”

Fang Zhenxuan nodded and listened to the way Chu Xiang analyzed the mood and tone of each sentence. She taught him what expressions and gaze to use, how to add micro-movements etc. to him. When he was studying law, he had already developed the habit of concentration and seriousness, so his memory and adaptability were particularly good. He could quickly transform the information she gave him into content that he could easily understand before engraving it into his mind.
