Rebirth: I made my fortune by navigating the entertainment industry

Chapter 21 This isn't just pure trash!?
Filming movies and TV series is no easy task. Compared to actors memorizing lines and watching movements, directors actually put in much more effort. Besides ensuring the actors don't make mistakes, they also need to pay attention to camera angles, on-screen effects, and the overall quality of the final product.

Especially ancient costume fantasy dramas.

Putting aside wire work, the director also needs to conceive of special effects in his mind to see the final product, plus whether the actors' movements are too exaggerated, etc.

It consumes a great deal of energy.

In addition, the architecture must meet the requirements of the plot, and the costumes and props are diverse. If the angle is not enough, multiple angles should be used for shooting.

So even some experienced directors are unwilling to take on a project unless they are paid a sufficient fee.

Not to mention the actors were unreliable.

As far as actors who have already appeared on screen are concerned, Chen Gaoguang is a semi-reliable type because he has some experience, but his own ability is not very good. Fortunately, Shen Luo can give him some pointers and scold him a few times, so he can still pass muster.

Wu Qian needs no introduction.

This woman can take great photos if she's willing to work her ass off.

Like her today, under the blazing sun, she was suspended by wires for nearly four hours, forcing herself to deliver her lines as if nothing had happened.

In reality, even with the thick prop costume in place, if there hadn't been an extra layer of soft padding around her waist, her soft flesh would have been at least chafed and bled.

As for Li Yimiao and Yan Qingning…

Well, these two can only be described as complete newcomers.

Yan Qingning had nothing to say. She was indeed a newcomer to the industry, and this was her first time officially filming. It was acceptable for her to make a mistake, especially since this girl, like her sister Qian, had a ruthless streak in her bones.

Either you force me to my death, or I'll force myself to my death!

You can get the desired effect whether you shoot from the front or the back!
But that Li Yimiao who got in through connections…

Damn it, the person in charge of Shangshi Pictures said that this guy had been in the industry for several years, but he just had bad luck and hadn't become famous, so Shen Luo believed that to be true.

But looking at it now, how the hell does it have to do with luck?
Shen Luo seriously suspected that the guy had something wrong with his eyes.

Isn't this just plain incompetence and a complete lack of acting skills?!

……

After finishing work on set and returning to the hotel to take a shower, Shen Luo lay on the soft bed, staring thoughtfully at the ceiling, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

at this time.

The doorbell rang suddenly.

"Huh? Yan Qingning is here?"

Shen Luo was a little puzzled as to why they arrived so early.

I only saw it when I opened the door.

The person ringing the doorbell wasn't Yan Qingning, but Wu Qian, whom he had previously instructed to come and sleep with him that night.

Outside.

Wu Qian was wrapped in a trench coat, and the signs of aging from long hours of filming while suspended by wires were no longer visible on her stunning face; her lips even had a hint of luster.

She must be wearing makeup.

"Let me in quickly! What if someone sees us!"

Wu Qian hurriedly pushed Shen Luo aside and rushed inside.

Shen Luo stepped aside to let her in, then peeked out into the corridor to make sure no one was watching or following before turning back, closing the door behind her, and walking inside.

"Is nobody here?" Wu Qian asked in a low voice.

"Nobody's here. Why are you here so early?" Shen Luo plopped down on the sofa and casually picked up a cigarette from the table to smoke.

“I heard from the assistant director that you didn’t go to dinner that night and went straight back to your room. I was worried that something might have happened to you.”

"What could possibly happen to me?"

"It's unlikely you're in trouble. I'm just afraid you're keeping a mistress and cheating on me," Wu Qian replied irritably. Shen Luo rolled his eyes and exhaled a smoke ring. "You're already inside, why are you still so covered up?"

Wu Qian ignored him.

Instead, he took off his trench coat on his own.

The resulting erotic scene almost made Shen Luo drop his cigarette.

The woman was dressed very scantily.

She wore a purple sports bra that barely covered her navel, completely exposing her slender waist and her fair, snow-white skin.

What's even more eye-catching are those two bulging mounds...

That's fucking arrogant! It's so big, and it's still so perky!
Her lower body was clad in an even more alluring pair of black yoga shorts, so tight they practically hugged her round, plump buttocks and thighs!
Further down, there was a suspender strap extending from the top of the yoga pants, the strap and stockings tightly tugging at the thigh muscles…

Why are you dressed so provocatively?

Shen Luo also asked.

"Can you be a little more civilized!" Wu Qian's face turned red from being stared at, but Shen Luo's words were quite harsh.

“That’s how it is.” Shen Luo pouted.

"Can't I be afraid of the heat?"

Wu Qian snorted coldly.

Is it because you're afraid of the heat?
Of course not!

What idiot wears clothes like that because they're afraid of the heat?
She did it purely for Shen Luo's benefit, since that little bastard said that not only she was coming tonight, but Yan Qingning was too!
Although Shen Luo said he was teaching her acting, what if this bastard had some bad intentions? I'll dress like this and let this kid squeeze me dry first, then let's see if she still has any feelings for Yan Qingning?
Well... actually, Wu Qian herself is unwilling to admit that, besides that, she also has some selfish thoughts.

It's like... Look, I'm so beautiful, so feminine, I have such a great figure, and I'm so sexy. You, Shen Luo, have me, that's enough. Don't fucking try to mess with other women!

"If you're afraid of being hot, then wear this..."

Before he could utter the word "slutty," Shen Luo heard a knock at the door. He paused for two seconds, wondering if it was Yan Qingning.

However, Wu Qian didn't react much. Instead, she plopped down next to Shen Luo, shook her long legs slightly, and her slippers came off. Then, she gently kicked Shen Luo with her fair little foot.

"Go, open the door."

"Who?"

"takeout."

"Why don't you go?"

"Are you sure you want me dressed like this to pick up takeout?"

"..."

Damn it, we really can't let this woman go pick up takeout dressed like that.

Shen Luo doesn't have any penchant for wearing rotten hats.

So Shen Luo hurriedly went to open the door to get the takeout. Wu Qian, who was inside, immediately hid in the bedroom. Only after hearing Shen Luo say "Thank you, sorry for the trouble" and the door close did she come out again, still muttering to herself.

"There aren't many good restaurants nearby, so I just bought a few stir-fries, some barbecue, and rice. If you want something else, you can order something else yourself."

"Would you like some milk tea?"

"Sure, I'll have an iced Americano, with milk but no sugar."

"That's pretty fancy, adding milk but no sugar. Just squeeze some yourself!" Shen Luo quipped casually.

Wu Qian was so angry she wanted to bite him hard.

Is this human talk?
You damn bastard!
However, Shen Luo didn't seem to care. After placing the takeout on the table, he watched Wu Qian unpack the food and softly hummed, "My sister says purple is very charming~"

Xu Song, how come you have such a forward-thinking perspective?
