NOVPUBThe viewers in the live stream room were all gobsmacked at this sight.
"Li Xuan is way too popular, my God, how many good deeds has he done to be so celebrated?"
"Didn’t I say that you absolutely shouldn’t mess with popular people? People with many friends, when they face any difficulties, there will always be someone willing to lend a hand."
"It’s a pity, if only Wu Bin were willing to sign up as an artist with his company, it seems like a bright future awaits."
"Stop kidding, Wu Bin wants to start his own company, would he work under someone else?"
Previously, Li Xuan had indeed wanted to persuade Wu Bin to sign with him because he could see many bright spots in Wu Bin.
Whether it was acting or Wu Bin’s character, it was destined that he would achieve great things in the future.
Unfortunately, Wu Bin’s ambition lay elsewhere.
Thus, Li Xuan did not insist any further and let it go.
Since Wu Bin did not want to make acting his primary career, perhaps treating it as a secondary, occasional engagement would work, right?
As long as he could leave a good impression on Wu Bin, so that Wu Bin would think of him first whenever he wanted to act, then Li Xuan felt he would have succeeded.
Thinking this, Li Xuan hurriedly waved at Wu Bin, who was standing in the distance.
"Wu Bin, don’t just watch, come here, let me introduce you. This is Zheng Jie, the assistant director of ’New Record of Resentments’ TV series, young and promising, I quite fancy him."
The person Li Xuan was introducing was precisely the one Zhu Ling had mentioned before as having a dark aura on his brow.
Being an insider, Zheng Jie was also a crafty character.
Could someone Li Xuan introduced solemnly be a minor character?
Therefore, even though Zheng Jie had never met Wu Bin before, he stood up right away and stretched out his hand as a sign of respect.
"Young and promising? I am just a worker, just call me Little Jie."
Wu Bin shook hands with Zheng Jie, and Li Xuan continued,"Little Jie, this is Wu Bin, who’s been quite popular online recently. Not sure if you’ve heard of him."
The moment Li Xuan said this, Zheng Jie’s eyes widened instantly.
"Ah, so you are Wu Bin, Wu Student, I’ve long heard of you!"
"I’ve heard that you started a crispy skin trend online, and universities across the country have done several self-assessments because of you, your influence is just too awesome."
"I heard Director Wang even reserved a role for you, Wu Student, when are you free to come shoot with our crew?"
Why else do they say that making friends with smart people saves you trouble?
From their meeting to their following exchanges, Zheng Jie always gave a very comfortable feeling.
He wouldn’t make you feel like he was flattering you, but somehow every sentence was comforting.
Don’t underestimate this ability, this is the most important skill after graduating and venturing into society.
With Zheng Jie giving face, naturally, Wu Bin wouldn’t act aloof.
Wu Bin said with a smile, "I just finalized things with Brother Li, when to shoot exactly will depend on Brother Li’s arrangement; I can make time whenever."
When Wu Bin said that, Zheng Jie and Li Xuan both felt honored.
Zheng Jie hurriedly invited Wu Bin to sit down and warmly poured him a cup of tea.
"Wu Bin, if it’s convenient for you, let’s go to the set and shoot the scene after the lunch break," he said.
"Your role is a supporting one, not much screen time, the sooner we finish shooting, the better."
As soon as Zheng Jie said this, the other crew members around seemed to think of something, nodding their heads in agreement.
Li Xuan remarked from the side, "Is there such a rush? Wu Bin hasn’t even memorized the script yet. Don’t bite off more than you can chew."
Zheng Jie said awkwardly, "It’s not that, Brother Li. Normally, I wouldn’t be in a hurry. But recently, we’ve had some trouble on our side, quite strange, so Director Wang is really keen to get this scene done sooner rather than later to avoid any further issues."
When Wu Bin heard this, he immediately became interested.
"Zheng, what’s the situation, if you don’t mind me asking?"
Zheng Jie hesitated for a moment, glanced at the photographer who was filming, then lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there have been some accidents on the set. But you know we’re making a ghost movie, and such accidents are not a good sign, making everyone on edge and the filming difficult."
"So Director Wang wants us to wrap up the shooting as soon as possible."
"Specifically, ever since we started shooting here in this film city, people in the crew have been getting injured out of the blue, and the injuries are getting more serious. Anyway, it’s a bit eerie."
Although Zheng Jie did not specify, the viewers in the live stream had already visualized the scenario.
"I heard from the elderly before that shooting ghost movies is actually very prone to encountering ghosts. There was a fondness for ghost movies in Bao Harbor, and many stars there experienced many supernatural incidents during shooting. It was truly terrifying."
"Didn’t you know? To shoot such films, you need to hire a master to control the set, perform rituals, pick the right dates, distribute red packets, and even offer tributes during festivals, otherwise issues are bound to arise."
"Damn, you guys make it sound so mystical. Is that for real? If it’s that exaggerated, who would dare to shoot ghost films? That kind of money isn’t really reassuring."
"Then you’re underestimating people. As long as the money is good, plenty are willing to do it. Just because you wouldn’t dare doesn’t mean others wouldn’t."
"Ever heard of the job of moving corpses in funeral homes? Monthly salary of ten thousand, and people are scrambling for it. As long as the pay is good, not to mention moving corpses, even if a corpse ran away, they’d carry it back."
Zheng Jie had just mentioned it casually, but Wu Bin and Li Xuan were looking at him with weird glances.
"Why are you two looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Wu Bin was going to say it was nothing, but Li Xuan, being straightforward, spoke up, "His sister, Zhu Ling, can read fortunes. She took a quick look at you just now and said your forehead is darkened, possibly indicating an impending bloody disaster."
"Initially, I didn’t think much of it, but now it seems you really ought to be more careful."
It was evident that Zheng Jie and Li Xuan had a close relationship, which is why Li Xuan spoke so frankly.
Zheng Jie, already somewhat restless from his time on the set, grew even more nervous after hearing what Li Xuan said.
"Master Zhu...I mean, where is Master Zhu now? Could you get me in touch with her to see if there’s any way to resolve this?"
Seeing Zheng Jie’s reaction, the viewers in the live room burst into laughter.
"It’s clear he’s really worried now, he actually believes it."
"Nonsense, wouldn’t you believe it if it happened to you?"
"Nowadays, no money is easy to earn!"
