How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 306 Zihan, come to my room at night

As for the impact of his two songs, Jiang Yu had only seen the travel videos he posted online, but he was unaware of things that happened in his life, such as the incident with Li Ting.

Jiang Yu had even rarely checked the online news these days. Filming for his first movie, "Secret," had already begun, and he was completely immersed in the filming.

As the director, the leading actor, and the screenwriter, Jiang Yu was very busy on the set and had no time to pay attention to other news. Even at the company, Jiang Yu had left it to Chu Jingya to take care of it. He really didn't have the extra energy to take care of other things.

In the blink of an eye, it was already September, and it had been a week since Jiang Yu's new movie started filming. During this week, the filming progress was relatively fast, and the entire filming process was relatively smooth.

However, since this is Yang Zihan's first time filming and he is not from a professional background, although he is talented, many things and some performances are definitely not comparable to those of experienced actors and those from professional backgrounds.

Often, when Yang Zihan was filming, Jiang Yu would often have to personally provide guidance. However, this girl was very talented and hardworking, and with just a little guidance, she could nail a scene. For more difficult scenes, she would figure it out on her own, or afterward, Jiang Yu would give her some pointers, or she would consult with other experienced instructors on the set, and generally, there wouldn't be any problems.

Jiang Yu watched Yang Zihan working so hard and felt that he had made a good choice for the female lead. She was smart, beautiful, had a natural screen face, and was quite talented in acting. The key was her willingness to work hard and endure hardships.

Jiang Yu had just finished filming a scene and was reviewing the film to give everyone a break. He finished reviewing it and thought it was fine. Turning around, he saw Yang Zihan, script in hand, consulting with some of the veteran actors on the crew. Director Chen and his team had recommended many talented actors for this film. While some of the others didn't have many parts, these actors were truly veterans in the field.

Even the young actors in the crew are all professionally trained and have been working in the industry for many years, so it should be no problem for them to give Yang Zihan some advice.

Jiang Yu sat there, watching Yang Zihan holding the script and patiently asking other teachers for advice, and smiled. He knew he was watching the movie just now, so he didn't bother him, right?
Because they had just finished filming a scene, everyone was wearing costumes. Since it was a modern campus drama, the male and female protagonists Jiang Yu and Yang Zihan were both wearing school uniforms.

Jiang Yu and his team's filming location this time was also in a school in Zhonghai.

Looking at Yang Zihan in her school uniform, she looked innocent, her hair gently blowing down her cheeks, and her face was slightly rosy due to the hot weather. With that serious look and that beautiful look, Jiang Yu finally understood why Yang Zihan was the campus belle. It had to be said that Yang Zihan's innocent appearance was indeed very pretty, and she had many admirers at school.

But now, after becoming a big star, Jiang Yu heard Yang Zihan say that she rarely kept in touch with her former classmates. Even if they did stay in touch, it was only with a few close friends. It seemed that since her debut, a distance had grown between her and many of her former classmates. She herself didn't notice it, but those classmates had noticed the gap between them, and over time, contact became less frequent.

Jiang Yu felt that among the four people he signed on "Star of Tomorrow", except Huang Chen, Yang Zihan, Lin Feifei and Zhao Ying, these three girls were all very good-looking.

Jiang Yu looked at the time and saw that it was almost time for everyone to rest, so he started to greet everyone.

"Okay, everyone, get ready, the next game will start soon."

When everyone heard Jiang Yu's voice, they stopped resting and each department began to prepare for the filming of the next scene.

This scene involves three people: Qingyi, who likes Ye Xianglun, and Lu Xiaoyu and Ye Xianglun.

The actress who plays Qingyi is Huang Lili, a relatively famous third-tier actress who is also very beautiful. Jiang Yu has seen her information. She graduated from a professional school and has already appeared in many domestic film and television productions. However, she only plays supporting roles. However, she has good acting skills and is also beautiful. She plays important supporting roles, such as the second and third female roles.

However, Qingyi doesn't have many scenes in this scene.

"Come on, all departments, prepare..."

After Jiang Yu handed over the camera to the company's assistant director, he began to get into the role of Ye Xianglun.

Qingyi, played by Huang Lili, stopped Jiang Yu in her school uniform and asked him if he could take her home, but Ye Xianglun refused.

Then, Lu Xiaoyu, played by Yang Zihan, pushed open the classroom door. At this moment, she was immersed in the role, less cold than usual, with a smile on her face, and teased Ye Xianglun, played by Jiang Yu.

"Can you take me home on your bike later?"

"sure."

Ye Xianglun looked at Lu Xiaoyu who was walking over and imitated her tone just now: "You really like to imitate others."

"You hate it."

Looking at Yang Zihan who hit him coquettishly, at this moment, Jiang Yu felt that it was not like filming a movie, but more like a girlfriend acting coquettishly to her boyfriend in real life.

Even Yang Zihan herself had this feeling in her heart when filming this drama, especially every time she had a scene with her boss.

The main reason was that in this drama, they played a pair of lovers who loved each other. If she wanted to film well, she had to immerse herself in the role. In addition, her boss was so handsome and was very approachable when interacting with them. He was not arrogant at all. When filming such a scene, it was easy for Yang Zihan to have the illusion that she was her boss's girlfriend.

She didn't know if it was her own illusion or because she was too immersed in the filming of this drama. Yang Zihan met her boss's eyes, and when the scene came to where she was sitting on the back of her boss's bicycle, she couldn't help but look up at Jiang Yu's profile.

The breeze blew, ruffling Yang Zihan's hair and also ruffling her heart.

The feeling that had been buried in my heart since I participated in "Star of Tomorrow" seemed to be stirring again with the frequent contact with the boss during this period.

Especially when Yang Zihan sat in the back seat of Jiang Yu's car, holding Jiang Yu's clothes with both hands and leaning gently on Jiang Yu's back. Feeling the warmth coming from Jiang Yu's body, Yang Zihan's pretty face flushed slightly.

Later, during the filming, Jiang Yu didn't know what was going on. At the beginning, everything was fine. But later, Yang Zihan's condition became a little off and she couldn't get into the role. This forced Jiang Yu to suspend the filming.

"Card!"

Jiang Yu made a pause gesture to the camera and shouted "Cut". The head of the film and television department of Jiang Yu's company, who was also the deputy director of this movie, hurried over.

Jiang Yu looked at Yang Zihan and asked patiently, "Zihan, you're not in a good state for this scene. Are you too tired?"

They'd been filming all day straight today. At the beginning, Yang Zihan was in good spirits, but after the last scene, things started to look off. When her boss asked her why, Yang Zihan couldn't explain it. She simply nodded and followed his lead, a look of embarrassment and apology on her face.

"Sorry, boss, I'll adjust it."

Jiang Yu looked at her deeply and saw that she walked aside alone, as if she was sorting out her emotions. He also gestured to the crew to wait for a moment.

The assistant director on the side reminded him.

"Boss Jiang, it's getting dark soon. If we can't get through this scene, we'll have to come tomorrow."

Jiang Yu looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock and the sun was setting. This scene was to be shot during the day. If it couldn't be finished before dark, they would have to continue filming tomorrow, which would definitely delay the progress.

However, Jiang Yu was not in a hurry. He just nodded as he looked at Yang Zihan who was sitting there sorting out his emotions and reading the script.

"Yeah, I know. Let's take a break first and wait for Zi Han to take a look. If it doesn't work, we can shoot again tomorrow."

The boss had spoken, so naturally no one objected. The assistant director walked over and spoke to Yang Zihan, asking her to adjust for five minutes and everyone to wait for her.

At this moment, Huang Lili, who played Qingyi, walked up to Jiang Yu with a bottle of water and handed the water to Jiang Yu with a smile.

"Director Jiang, come, drink some water and take a break. Let Zihan adjust."

Jiang Yu looked at Huang Lili. Ever since they joined the group, she had always been quite enthusiastic towards him. From Huang Lili's eyes, Jiang Yu could sense her thoughts. There was nothing he could do. This was just how the entertainment industry was. Huang Lili had been neither hot nor cold for years, and he must have been anxious.

However, Jiang Yu was very polite to her. Not everyone could catch his eye. This kind of woman, as long as he wanted, he could just wave his hand. However, this kind of casual woman, he himself was a bit of a germaphobe. But Jiang Yu did not look down on them. He always respected these hardworking women.

For human beings, the most basic principle is to survive. If you want to move forward, it is inevitable to pay some price.

"Thank you."

Jiang Yu took the water with a smile. Filming on such a hot day was indeed very thirsty and hot. He had asked the crew to prepare some extra water and some heatstroke medicine. Although it was already September, the temperature showed no sign of dropping.

Huang Lili watched Jiang Yu take her water and drink it, her lips curled up slightly. She sat down next to Jiang Yu in her school uniform. From the moment she joined the crew, or rather, from the moment she knew she was going to play the second female lead in Jiang Yu's film, Huang Lili felt that this was her chance.

Although she wasn't a singer, just an actress, Jiang Yu's popularity and resources were far beyond her reach, nor were they comparable to what her current company could offer. If she could secure Jiang Yu, her future career would surely be much better.

Huang Lili knew that Jiang Yu wasn't so easy to deal with. The women he'd been involved with, like Su Muwan and Yang Xue, were all superior to her. Even the artists his company had just signed this year, like the lead actress in this drama, Yang Zihan, hadn't there been online rumors of her involvement with Jiang Yu?
Previously, Huang Lili hadn't quite believed Jiang Yu would have anything to do with the female artists in his own company. His involvement with Su Muwan and the others was definitely nothing, and everyone thought it was normal, and she herself believed it too.

But how long have these female artists at Jiang Yu's company been in the company? And are they as good as Su Muwan and the others? Jiang Yu already has Su Muwan and the others, so he probably doesn't like these newcomers, right?
When Huang Lili learned that the leading actress in Jiang Yu's film was Yang Zihan, a new artist from his company, she began to think that the photos that had been leaked online might be true. Jiang Yu did have some relationship with the female artist from his company.

Otherwise, why didn't Jiang Yu look for the film queen Yang Xue, or other famous actresses in the circle, to play the heroine of his first movie, but chose such a newcomer, who is not even from a professional background, to be the heroine? Is this possible?

Even after Yang Zihan's debut, her popularity has always been high. She even relied on Jiang Yu to rise to the second-tier position, higher than her status. But Jiang Yu's first movie, such an important event, such an important female lead was given to her. Huang Lili felt that it was definitely abnormal for Yang Zihan to have no relationship with Jiang Yu.

Yang Zihan, who was standing by, just thought he had adjusted himself, but when he turned around, he saw Huang Lili sitting next to his boss, chatting happily.

This moment made Yang Zihan feel more threatened.

Jiang Yu was chatting with Huang Lili. When he saw Yang Zihan coming over, he smiled and said after he was ready.

"Then Mr. Huang, I'll be busy now. Your part for today is complete. Mr. Huang, you can go back and rest now."

Huang Lili smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just here to take a look and learn."

Jiang Yu didn't say anything, but when Yang Zihan saw this scene, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Jiang Yu asked them to continue filming. He saw that Yang Zihan seemed to be a little abnormal, so he asked tentatively.

"May I?"

Yang Zihan took a deep breath, nodded, and subconsciously glanced at Huang Lili. This woman had been so enthusiastic towards the boss since she joined the team, and she was also quite pretty...

The filming started next. At the beginning, Yang Zihan got all the lines wrong, so Jiang Yu called cut again.

"Card!"

He looked at Yang Zihan's apologetic eyes and sighed.

"Let's stop here for today. Everyone, go back, eat, and have a good rest. We'll continue tomorrow."

He looked at Yang Zihan and just said one sentence.

"After dinner, Zihan, come to my room in the evening."
