Boss, He Is Chasing Stars Again Chapter 38
byChapter 38 Chapter 38 Jin Yan was sitting in the corner of the crew,…
Jin Yan was sitting in the corner of the set, listening to the staff next to him chatting about things on the set.
Jin Yan joined the crew later than others and didn’t know many things about the crew, so he thought of some ways to build a good relationship with the rest of the crew.
Although Shi Xingze is somewhat famous now, not everyone watches Starlight Training Camp after all, so Jin Yan does get to know a few people he can chat with, but they are just small actors and staff.
Jin Yan asked his assistant to buy drinks and distribute them to a few people. He smiled and invited them to drink. The others took the drinks and said thank you.
One of the stylists looked at the drinks in his hands and couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Our crew’s treatment is really good. Someone treats us to drinks every now and then. Brother Bai also treated us to drinks some time ago. I heard that Shi Xingze also brought a cold drink truck over.”
“No, the cold drink cart is pretty full, and there’s Shi Xingze’s photo printed on the outside. It’s a pity that you weren’t there that day.” Another staff member answered. It shouldn’t be cheap to call the cold drink cart for a day.
Shi Xingze?
Jin Yan keenly caught Shi Xingze’s name and asked him casually: “Did you just say that Shi Xingze called a cold drink truck? Then he should be very rich.”
Jin Yan said this, but thought disdainfully in his heart how this was possible. He had asked Sun Wei to inquire about Shi Xingze’s family background. He was just an ordinary person with no background. He had only participated in the Starlight Training Camp once. How could he have money to hire a cold drink truck?
The stylist didn’t take Jin Yan’s words seriously. He thought they were just chatting and spoke without thinking: “That’s hard to say. Now that I’m backed by Kamikaze Entertainment, my advertising sales are also good. What if I really have money? I’m going to do some styling. Thank you for the drink.”
Over there, the stylist was in a hurry to touch up her makeup. After finishing her drink, the stylist threw the empty cup into the trash can, said hello to Jin Yan and left.
When Jin Yan heard what the other party said, he was thinking in his mind. He had heard before that Shi Xingze had a mysterious big fan who pitched for him. He said that he was a big fan, and he might be the financial backer behind him.
They happened to be on the same crew now, and Jin Yan didn’t believe that he couldn’t catch Shi Xingze.
Shi Xingze didn’t know what Jin Yan was thinking, so he looked at the messages Huo Yan and Yue Lin sent him with some surprise.
The last episode of Starlight Training Camp is about to be recorded, and Director Qi intends to invite the previously eliminated contestants back to create an atmosphere.Director Qi spent a lot of money on the final night and directly booked the stadium in City A to shoot.
Huo Yan entered the finals, but Yue Lin regretfully left the competition. However, his mentor Liao Minghua was very optimistic about Yue Lin’s future development. In addition, Yue Lin had no other announcements recently and had free time, so he agreed with Director Qi.
Shi Xingze was a little embarrassed. His scene happened to be on the recording day of the final night of Starlight Training Camp. Director Fu valued this drama very much. He didn’t know if he could go, so he had to say for the time being that he might not go, and planned to ask Director Fu privately if he could take a day off.
He told Brother Long about this matter, but Brother Long felt that it was not as complicated as Shi Xingze thought: “Xingze, don’t think too much about it first. Go and ask Director Fu. Nowadays, not all actors stay in the crew all the time when filming. Occasionally they will go out to shoot a commercial or something and then come back to continue filming. Don’t think too much.”
Shi Xingze said that he knew about it and planned to talk to Director Qi about it after the show was over in the evening.
Brother Long was still sighing in his heart. Shi Xingze was indeed too young. Not to mention that he took a day off to record the final night of the Starlight Training Camp. There were many people in the circle who were filming two dramas at the same time, not to mention his reasonable request.
Moreover, the traffic on the final night of Starlight Training Camp must be very large. It is also a good thing for Shi Xingze to show his face to the crew. Who would think that his traffic is good these days.
But Brother Long has another thing to tell Shi Xingze: “The Weike platform held a celebrity night event. I think your data is not bad. I have applied to the company to invest some resources in you, and the company agreed. Then you can try to get to know more people. By the way, how is your signature? Have you practiced it?”
On the Weike Celebrity Night, all celebrities and influencers present must sign a specific display board, which is also part of the display.Brother Long heard that there will be a close-up of the camera’s face behind the backboard signed this year, so Brother Long asked this question.
“It should be pretty good, right?” Shi Xingze felt that his handwriting was pretty good and he shouldn’t be embarrassed.However, Shi Xingze was a little concerned about Brother Long saying that his statistics were not bad, and asked him curiously: “Are my statistics not bad? I thought I didn’t have many fans.”
Brother Long looked at him in surprise: “Why do you think so? Didn’t you realize that you already have three groups?”
“Ah?” Shi Xingze really didn’t pay attention. He had only been peeking in the first group. Because he usually had limited time, he rarely read the announcements. The group was basically managed by Brother Long, so he really didn’t know that he already had three groups.
Shi Xingze knew about this event on the WeChat platform, but he always thought that he didn’t have enough fans and influence, so he didn’t pay much attention. He didn’t expect that some fans would actually vote for him.
He looked at his vote count and realized that he was able to participate in this event despite his hard work, and Brother Long also said that the company would also help.Shi Xingze couldn’t help but sigh, it’s great to have the support of a company.
“By the way, Xingze, I’ve arranged a few business deals for you. I’ll go out with you to do two graphic shoots and an advertisement for daily chemical products. Then you can arrange the time.” Only after joining Kamikaze Entertainment did Brother Long truly understand what it means to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. People who ignored him before would also give him some slack for the sake of the company.
He was worried that these business matters would delay Xingze’s filming, so he specially adjusted the time to the second half of Xingze’s filming, so that the crew would not have any objections.
Shi Xingze nodded, and remembered Jin Yan’s matter and mentioned it to Brother Long: “Brother Long, Jin Yan also came to this crew. He found some way to replace the original fourth male lead.”
Brother Long knew that the original fourth male lead was a little-known actor.He frowned, intuiting that Jin Yan probably didn’t use bright methods, and maybe he was targeting Shi Xingze.
Seeing that there was no one around, Brother Long lowered his voice and said to Shi Xingze: “He and his manager are not good people. Maybe Jin Yan has found some financial backer. It’s not that I am slandering others behind their backs, they can do this kind of thing. Be careful on the set. If he asks you to go out or asks you to eat, don’t go.”
“I know.” Shi Xingze knew in his heart that Sun Wei was behind his almost accident last time, and he would not put himself in danger again.
Thinking of what happened last time, Shi Xingze suddenly asked Brother Long hesitantly: “Brother Long, do you think I should give Mr. Jian a gift?”
“Is it because of what happened last time?” Brother Long thought for a while and found it a bit difficult to grasp.
Shi Xingze nodded, then shook his head: “That’s not entirely true. Mr. Jian also called a cold drink truck two days ago, so I wanted to thank you together. But with Mr. Jian’s wealth, I always feel that it is not appropriate to give anything as a gift.”
Moreover, he now regarded Jian Xingzhi as a friend. If he acted too solemnly, he always felt that the two of them seemed unfamiliar, so Shi Xingze was very hesitant.
Brother Long and Shi Xingze were silent for a while, but Brother Long finally broke the silence first: “Since you said that you and Jian are always friends, Mr. Jian should have everything he needs, but the feelings between friends are more important. Think about whether there is any better gift.”
Shi Xingze said distressedly: “I don’t know either. How about I ask about what he likes?”
Brother Long sighed: “That’s all we can do.”
After Shi Xingze waited for Brother Long to leave, there happened to be no scenes for him at the moment, so he went to Director Fu to ask for leave and prepare to record the Starlight Training Camp.
He arrived at the door of Director Fu’s office, and before knocking on the door, he heard Director Fu’s suppressed angry voice: “Substituting people midway has already delayed the filming progress. Now you have to ask for leave without giving a reasonable reason, how can I agree to it!”
Shi Xingze accidentally overheard that someone was mentioned about changing people midway, and it was most likely Jin Yan.He didn’t intend to listen to the corner, but the two people’s voices were a bit loud, and Jin Yan’s voice came from the door: “I really have something to do, please give me another day off, Director Fu, and haven’t I already paid the venue fee for the delay to Director Fu?”
Shi Xingze’s footsteps paused. What did Jin Yan mean by this?
Director Fu seemed to be angry at Jin Yan. Shi Xingze actually heard the other person laugh: “It’s okay if you take a day or two off. If you continue like this, it will delay the progress of our filming. We can’t wait for you all the time.”
Shi Xingze was originally planning to ask Director Fu for leave, but he flinched a little after hearing what Director Fu said. It would be bad if he gave the crew an impression of being unprofessional.He turned around to leave, but happened to see Jin Yan coming out of the room and passed him by.
Jin Yan glanced at Shi Xingze with a half-smile. Shi Xingze had to go with him if he left now. Shi Xingze glanced at Jin Yan, then turned around and knocked on Director Fu’s door.
The worst he could do was get scolded, but walking out with Jin Yan made him feel even more uncomfortable.
“Director Fu, the final night of the Starlight Training Camp I recorded before is about to take place. I would like to take a day off so that my play can be adjusted to the time of the crew.” Shi Xingze spoke to Director Fu in a nice voice, but Director Fu just waved his hand tiredly: “Go ahead, go ahead.”
Huh?Director Fu actually agreed so easily.
Looking at his expression, Director Fu guessed that he had probably heard the conversation between him and Jin Yan, and sighed helplessly: “It’s just a day off, and you’re not the only one who would ask for leave. Compared to some people… forget it.”
Director Fu was a little tired, but since the people behind Jin Yan had invested, he really couldn’t do anything to him, so he had to comfort himself that they had provided the money after all.
Shi Xingze smiled and said: “Thank you, Director Fu, I will be back soon.”
Director Fu nodded: “The crew has sent out promotional photos. Please remember to forward them. If you have the opportunity, you can promote it more.”
“Okay.” Shi Xingze agreed, and while forwarding it, he also forwarded it to the family group, and immediately received many compliments.
As a result, five minutes later, Shi Xingze saw the latest Weibo post forwarded by Shi’s father in the circle of friends, with Jian Xingzhi’s like at the bottom.
Shi Xingze’s eyes widened. Shouldn’t Jian Xingzhi be on a business trip abroad now?!
