Caught in Affairs with Superstar

Chapter 1658: Chapter 818: Hostility (4000 Words)_3

”Director Kang Xin and your main cast have a strong appeal,” Wan Lanlan said. ”Everyone in the industry is directly branding your show as next year’s drama king. Speaking of drama king, there’s something interesting. You probably don’t know, but right now your circle is assessing who is this year’s drama king. Your ’Deep Sea’ and Wei Ru Xue’s ’Flying with Phoenix’ are fighting fiercely. In terms of views and ratings, ’Flying with Phoenix’ statistically does better than ’Deep Sea,’ and they have so many more episodes than you. But in terms of commercial ads and reputation, ’Deep Sea’ wins over ’Flying with Phoenix.’ The critical point is that Yuehai’s direct financial report shows ’Deep Sea’ almost sold 500 million overseas, which has shocked the entire film industry.”

Zhou Yun: ”There’s the least interest in competing for such drama king titles. What’s the point in fighting for superiority.”

”You wouldn’t say that if it wasn’t about interests,” Wan Lanlan said. ”Going deeper, it’s a traditional TV station versus emerging online video platform clash.”

Zhou Yun uttered an ’uh’.

She truly didn’t realize there were so many complications involved.

”Anyway, ’Flying with Phoenix’ has launched its second season because of its excellent performance,” Wan Lanlan said. ”Wei Ru Xue, although his personality isn’t great, really holds his ground in the drama sector.”

”If his character were a bit better, I wouldn’t dislike him so much. His professional skills are indeed strong.”

Wan Lanlan exchanged a knowing smile with her, letting silence communicate everything.

After finishing the magazine shoot, Wan Lanlan and the crew prepared to head back.

Zhou Yun invited the entire film crew to dinner at a local restaurant, also inviting Hugh Redman, Nakajima Hoto, and others to join.

When everyone gathered for a photo, Wan Lanlan whispered a thank you to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun: ”Why are you being so formal with me?”

What Zhou Yun was doing was simply showcasing her strong connections with Wan Lanlan in front of everyone.

She hosted the dinner and invited Hugh Redman, Nakajima Hoto, these big celebrities, all for Wan Lanlan’s sake.

Naturally, these matters would be taken back to ’Victor’ magazine by them.

After the ’Victor’ team left, Zhou Yun’s filming life returned to usual.

Filming was still quite dull, especially when a scene is shot multiple times, even dozens of times.

On this day, Tim Lang suddenly wasn’t satisfied with the earlier action scenes filmed between Zhou Yun and Lily Cruise and demanded a reshoot.

The two actors had no choice but to redo.

A faint spark always existed between Zhou Yun and Lily Cruise.

Mainly, Lily Cruise always felt she was no weaker than Zhou Yun, and didn’t quite take Zhou Yun seriously as the main actress.

With all that happened afterwards, everyone witnessed Zhou Yun’s power, Lily Cruise realized she had underestimated Zhou Yun, but it’s hard for her to change her attitude at this stage.

They redid the fight scene once more.

Tim was still dissatisfied.

”Lily, where did your killer instinct go?” he asked, ”I want that defiant, fearless killer instinct in you.”

Lily Cruise’s face turned pale.

His words sounded like an implicit suggestion to her.

Inside, she was filled with resentment, anger, and indescribable emotions.

On the second take, the force of Lily Cruise’s moves was much stronger.

Zhou Yun clearly felt her momentum became sharper and more aggressive after Tim Lang’s comments.

Zhou Yun even found it a bit hard to withstand.

She had no choice but to add some fierceness to her moves as well.

After one scene, the two actors were somewhat exhausted.

Tim Lang said: ”Much better than the last shot, but it still needs a bit more toughness.”

Zhou Yun and Lily Cruise began the third take.

For this take, Lily Cruise unexpectedly didn’t follow the move choreography, but changed the direction of her attack.

Zhou Yun’s expression changed, but fortunately, she’s trained, quickly reacted, and dodged.

Lily Cruise continued her fierce and unpredictable assault.

Zhou Yun, momentarily agitated, a sense of anger surged up, decided to ignore the choreographed moves, raised her leg, and swept it across, kicking Lily Cruise’s weapon out of her hand, making a clanging noise as it fell onto the floor five meters away.

Lily Cruise looked in panic at her kicked-away weapon, regained her senses, suddenly shouted in anger, and swung her fist, rushing over.

Zhou Yun, with a cold face, shifted her position, dodging Lily Cruise’s frontal assault, hit her armpit with her elbow, quickly pinned her to the ground.

Her dagger pressed against Lily Cruise’s neck, she looked down at her from above.

Lily Cruise’s eyes were fiery, glaring at her.
