Song Niao Niao was very proactive, arriving at the crew's office and photography studio at 2 pm to cooperate with the filming of new posters.
However, it was a little strange that this top-tier star, upon arriving at the crew, acted as if she had never seen the crew's office before, constantly looking around.
Her agent asked what she was looking for, but she said nothing.
Liu Liqun sat in the corner with a group of stagehands. He whispered, "Normally, it's not uncommon for celebrities in the entertainment industry to seize resources when other stars cause trouble, but I always thought Song Niao Niao wasn't that kind of person. I didn't expect this. Now Qin Peipei's resources have all gone to her. Although Director Zhang isn't a top-tier director yet, it is said that everyone is optimistic about his script, saying it's a good one."
Zhou Cang asked, "Who said so?"
Liu Liqun said, "My aunt and my second aunt."
Zhou Cang: "…You leaked the script."
Liu Liqun hit Zhou Cang on the back of the head with the script in his hand: "What, are you going to report me? Many people leak scripts. The one I have is a script Qin Peipei casually threw away. If anyone's going to be investigated, it's Qin Peipei."
A stagehand said, "I overheard Director Wang and Director Zhang chatting, saying that Song Niao Niao wasn't invited by them."
The stagehand said, "I heard that someone else invited her. She directly turned down more than twenty events and proactively called Director Zhang saying she could invest in the crew."
"Who has that much influence?" Liu Liqun was shocked.
"I heard it was a big shot from the Qing Family who personally contacted him, although Director Zhang doesn't remember knowing any big shots from the Qing Family."
Zhou Cang said, "The media reporters have a keen sense of smell. They just changed people, and there are already media reporters blocking the building. Many news reports have been released, saying that Song Niao Niao hijacked the role, but no one mentioned Qin Peipei being arrogant."
"It must be the publicity released by Qin Peipei's agency. Do we even need to think about it?" Liu Liqun said. "By the way, where's Qing Chen?"
Zhou Cang said, "He worked overtime this morning, single-handedly carried all the equipment onto the truck, and then said he wanted to go home to pack his things, and would meet us directly in the underground parking lot tomorrow morning."
Liu Liqun was stunned: "He moved everything by himself?"
Zhou Cang nodded: "Although this kid's purpose in coming to the crew isn't pure, he's quite efficient at work. Don't look at him being thin, he's actually quite strong."
Liu Liqun didn't speak anymore.
What he needed were people who could work.
As long as Qing Chen was willing to work, he didn't care if the other party was chasing their dreams in the entertainment industry.
Liu Liqun chuckled, "This kid is unlucky. Song Niao Niao is so beautiful. Didn't you see how those cameramen, photographers, and art directors were all looking sideways at her? I need to tell Assistant Director Wang to remind everyone of the rules, don't let them gawk at the star."
All the crew members gathered in the office, some pulling banners, some burning incense for the opening ceremony.
Strangely, Song Niao Niao acted as if she had never seen an opening ceremony before, still curiously looking around.
Her agent whispered, "Tell me the truth, are you looking for someone?"
Song Niao Niao was stunned: "No, no."
"Don't lie to me, you can't lie, your eyes betray you," the agent said. "Are you dating Li Yu without telling me? That's why you took this role so proactively, to secretly date him on set, right? I tell you, don't even think about it!"
Song Niao Niao cried and laughed: "Sister, it's really not what you think."
The agent whispered, "Li Yu isn't a good person. He brought twelve assistants, six men and six women. Among the women, I think two of them are having an affair with him. Also, he used to be the pet of a female big shot from the Chen Family Conglomerate, he's already been played out. Don't get involved with this kind of person."
"Sister, don't worry," Song Niao Niao laughed. "You know me, how could I like that kind of person? I'm here to repay a debt, not because of Li Yu."
"That's good. You're already acting in the drama, and you're investing so much money too," the agent muttered. "Don't be a love-brained fool. You're at the peak of your career, you can't think about this kind of thing."
"I know!" Song Niao Niao said.
Everyone went downstairs and got into their cars. The crew had more than thirty vehicles, including six trucks.
When Liu Liqun and Zhou Cang got into the stagehands' car, someone in the back seat suddenly said, "Ready to go?"
"Ahhhhh!" Liu Liqun didn't expect anyone to be sitting in the back, he was scared out of his wits. When he looked back and saw it was Qing Chen, he said angrily, "Why are you sitting in the car? Don't you go to the opening ceremony? That's a great opportunity to take photos with the stars."
"What's the point of taking photos with stars?" Qing Chen said.
Liu Liqun, this connoisseur, chuckled, "You don't understand. In the future, when you go to other crews, this photo will be the best introduction. How many people enter the crew just to take photos with stars?"
The motorcade drove out of City 10 to the south. They had already made preparations and paid enough money. When they left the city, they even took the expressway and didn't stop for inspection.
The motorcade went north, everyone was excited to be leaving the city.
Qing Chen seemed exceptionally calm.
Sometimes, when everyone stopped by the roadside to relieve themselves, they would stay a little longer to look at the scenery on the wilderness, but Qing Chen lingered and didn't get out of the car. He only got out to relieve himself after everyone got back in the car.
Qing Chen clearly saw in the car that Song Niao Niao looked around after getting out of the car, as if looking for something.
This is definitely not a coincidence! The other party must know that he is in the motorcade!
Who leaked the news?!
Qing Chen narrowed down the suspects to a few people, because his whereabouts were very secretive, and only a few major forces had the ability to find him.
Shadow was the most likely suspect.
At this time, Liu Liqun in the car found Qing Chen peeking at Song Niao Niao, and reminded him, "Is she pretty?"
Qing Chen glanced at him and objectively commented, "She is indeed very pretty."
Liu Liqun was amused: "Don't overthink it, we're not from the same world. Let me tell you, in life, don't have too many ideas, otherwise you won't live too happily. Look at me, I've met so many stars, I've never fallen for anyone, and I'm still alone."
Qing Chen was speechless for a while, thinking that this guy could bring any topic back to himself.
Song Niao Niao is indeed not from the same world as him, and he doesn't have any feelings for this beautiful star, he is just worried about being found by her.
Liu Liqun might be killed if he knew that Song Niao Niao was looking for Qing Chen at that moment.
He curiously asked, "You must be fifty years old, right? Don't you have a partner?"
"I had one when I was young, but we didn't end up together," Liu Liqun said.
"Why did you break up?" Qing Chen felt strange.
"Because the parents didn't agree, they disliked me," Liu Liqun said.
"What happened later?" Qing Chen asked. "Didn't she wait for you?"
"No, she didn't wait, she married someone else the second year after we broke up," Liu Liqun said.
Is the entertainment industry so chaotic, why even the stagehands aren't straight?!
At night, all the staff got out of the car to set up tents. Qing Chen didn't get out of the car, claiming to be on duty guarding the motorcade.
Normally, several people should take turns staying up at night on duty, but he took on all the work by himself, saying that he could just sleep in the car.
