Surprisingly Director He decided to pass Yu Mei’s improvisation so Shi Shen got splashed one more time. Fortunately, Shi Shen didn't deliberately make things hard for Yu Mei so they could finish in just one take.
Shi Shen took two more scenes before he finished for the day. One was with Yu Mei another was his second confrontation with Wu Wenming.
At the end of the day, the scriptwriter suddenly had a meeting with Director He.
Director He thoughtfully considered her suggestion,’’You want Ke Xin to be Wei Shi’s love interest?’’
The scriptwriter sister nodded her head in return, she further elaborated,’’To be honest, I have this thought the moment I saw Ye Xie played as Ke Xin. I feel that this character has potential character development and with Ye Xie’s outstanding performance I reckon that after the viewers watch the drama he would become the center of attention.’’
Director He also agreed with her so he said,’’Give me the new script after you fi—
However, he hasn’t finished his sentence yet when the other party had already stuffed a new script into his hand.
Director He,’’……’’
Therefore, tomorrow's shooting everyone got a new script. After Wenming went through it, he helplessly laughed.
This….is hard to say who is the actual male lead.
Initially, Ke Xin never loved Wen Shi, he just wanted to use her to destroy Lu Heng. In fact, he had almost killed the female lead a few times and even tried to turn her into his descendants so that she could no longer disobey him.
However, this time around there was character development and even explanation for his behavior.
Wenming reckoned that after the drama ended not a single person could bear to hate this character, Ke Xin.
Yu Mei was envious but she said nothing in return so with this being said, Director He told them to prepare another photoshoot for the promotional posters.
Ye Xie was the latest to join the crew so he starred in this drama hasn’t been known by netizen yet and when he was about to release the posters, his group’s disband news broke out hence Director He planned to wait for a while before releasing the photos.
Soon after, Blood’s promotional posters were posted on the drama’s official website. With Wu Wenming’s and Yu Mei’s fame, the visitors rapidly shot up.
The first few pictures were Wu Wenming and Yu Mei’s individual shots.
User 1:[Ah! Ah! Sister Yu is really pretty!]
User 2:[She has been in charge of acting cute in her group but now her character is actually a gentle and sensible woman so she really looks different!]
User 3:[My Mingming is so handsome ah!]
After swiping past the leads’ individual shots came to the couple shots gaining another squeal and praise from their fans. Some even began to ship them even before watching the drama.
They continued to swipe forward and saw another couple shot.
It was a couple shot of Wen Shi and Ke Xin.
Lu Heng and Wen Shi’s shot can be called bright and lovely but Ke Xin and Wen Shi’s shot had a dark theme and….sensual?
In this picture, they saw Wen Shi with a sad face had her neck gently grabbed by a beautiful young man who has white hair and red eyes as his red lips gently brushed the other side of her neck.
His face was expressionless but his pair of good looking eyes seemed to be intoxicated with obsession causing one’s face to flush and heart to beat wildly upon seeing him.
Wave after wave of comments quickly swarmed in under the picture.
User 1988:[Somebody calls an ambulance! I’m having a major blood loss! Ahhhh! Lick, lick the screen!]
User 434:[This! Shouldn’t there be a warning beforehand! I almost died from a heart attack!]
‘’+1’’
‘’+2’’
‘’+1386’’
After they all calmed down, they recollected themselves and swiped to another picture only to meet with another blow.
This time the young man dressed in an extravagant white Medieval Europe attire silently leaning against a luxurious black coffin with his eyes closed. Surrounding him were blue roses creating surreal and unbelievable scenes.
[Save, set as wallpaper!]
[Tell me, this is not a human!]
[Upstairs! He is indeed not a human but a Vampire!]
[I don’t believe that they didn’t use Photoshop in this picture! OAO]
[Damn! He is much more beautiful than me, a woman! I am a failure as a woman T~T]
[Upstairs, good for you. For me, I am a failure as a human being.]
‘’Agree +1’’
‘’+2’’
‘’+1234’’
Because Shi Shen’s pictures attracted too much attention, they soon began to dig his identity and it didn’t take long before someone said out loud,’’Hey! Isn’t he the member of DeviL?’’
‘’DeviL? Never heard of that.’’
Someone quickly responded,’’This group has 4 members but they just disbanded half a month ago. This person’s name is Ye Xie, he is the main visual of his group but sadly, be it his dancing, his singing or variety skill, he has none so he is the least popular member.’’
‘’If he couldn’t do his main profession right, how can he possibly act well?’’
‘’That’s right! I heard that DeviL has been doing well but after adding him things went downhill! Don’t tell me he is going to drag my hubby’s drama down with him too?!! What was the crew thinking in accepting him into the drama?!’’
‘’I think because of his look? But anyways, his looks won’t help him make up for his lousy acting!’’
Soon criticism quickly swarmed in saying how they wouldn't watch the drama when it was released!
Mu Sheng’s heart finally calmed down after seeing where the direction of discussion was going to. In his previous life, another actor with small fame played this role and he still got criticized badly by Blood’s fan so Ye Xie who had a lot of anti-fans wouldn’t survive after the drama aired.
His eyes glanced back to look at Shi Shen’s photos and jealousy quickly clouded his eyes.
Born with such a face, you are extremely lucky huh?
However, this life he would emerge as a winner!
Soon another half a month has passed by. On this fine day, Ye Xie’s agent finally called Shi Shen.
Without any greeting, the agent spoke in an impatient tone,’’Your contract has expired so from this day onward you no longer have anything to do with XieTian Entertainment. It was nice working with you, well then goodbye.’’
Immediately after that, the call ended.
Shi Shen put down his phone and went back to look at his script. Since the script has been revised, he gained more scenes in return, only 3 scenes lesser than Wenming so it could be seen on how generous the Director has been toward him.
Since things have been progressing nicely and with the hype of Ye Xie’s failure in the drama bet by the majority of people, today at 7 pm a promotional video would be released.
However, Shi Shen was unperturbed. He didn’t even check his Weibo which was previously on the verge of collapsing with only ghost followers left to come back to life and his followers quickly broke through 1M.
Just that they couldn’t be called his fans yet as they only came for his high face value.
Honestly speaking, Shi Shen knew that he did not suit to be a celebrity. He used to promote and sell products but this time, he became the product himself which he didn’t like to do.
Therefore, Shi Shen planned to retreat behind the scenes after a few years in the industry.
As for whether his future fans would allow him to do that or not, it was something to talk about in the future.
Shi Shen sat down on the sofa with Xiao Jie slept on his lap as he watched the promotional video on the television.
He had to say that the crew really has done a good job of editing the video even the title ‘Blood’ writing style looked imposing and bold.
The video first showed how the leads met each other then displayed their lovely times spending together but soon things fell apart with Shi Shen’s appearance even the background music changed once he appeared. Afterward, the female lead was seen to always be with the expressionless and arrogant Ke Xin however one could see his subtle change as the video progressed. Soon afterward, the two exceptional men clashed with each other. It was obvious that Yu Mei would end up with Wu Wenming but once the final scene came out everyone became hesitant.
Because the once arrogant and expressionless Vampire at this moment suddenly looked straight at the screen with eyes full of panic, he softly begged,’’Can you...choose me?’’
Gao Chen found himself unable to tear his eyes away from the screen.
He was the president of the biggest agency in the entertainment industry so he has seen a lot of beautiful people to the point that he was no longer fazed but this person could actually make him breathless.
Be able to achieve this kind of result even through the lens, this person bounded to become big.
‘’President Gao?’’
His assistant’s voice finally snapped him back to his senses to which Gao Chen unhurriedly gave an order,’’The one who starred in a new drama called Blood with white hair and red eyes, check which agency he is under and poach him here.’’
Hearing this, Assistant Guan was shocked. His boss actually wanted to steal someone?!
He knew that his boss’s eyes were sharp, the people whom he picked would inevitably become giants later on! Not to mention, this time the president actually threw an order to rob the artist, assistant Guan became even more curious.
Without further ado, Assistant Guan quickly went to check up right away.
Therefore, early in the morning Shi Shen immediately got a call personally made by Assistant Guan.
‘’Good morning, Mr. Ye, sorry to interrupt you this early in the morning.’’
‘’It’s okay, may I ask who are you?’’
‘’I’m from Sky Entertainment and I would like to ask whether you are willing to become an artist signed under our agency or not?’’
Hearing this, Shi Shen went silent. Assistant Guan who faced his silence from the other side thought that the other party might not believe him so he further added,’’My name is Guan Yu, President Gao’s assistant. You can confirm my identity with our staff. The HR contact numbers can be found on our official website. Or would you prefer meeting at our agency building?’’
Shi Shen became even more silent with his identity, he asked probingly,’’Why do you want to scout me?’’
Assistant Guan quickly responded,’’Our company saw your promotional video and felt that you have the potential to become a superstar so we want to cultivate you.’’
Shi Shen finally compromised,‘’When do you want to have a meeting?’’
After hanging up, Shi Shen thoughtfully looked at his phone,’’How many percent do think that it has something to do with Gao Chen?’’
He Tian casually answered,’’I think you already have the answer though?’’
Shi Shen didn’t say anything and went on to eat his breakfast. Since assistant Guan was afraid of being robbed he immediately asked Shi Shen to meet today in the afternoon.
Assistant Guan patiently waited at the entrance for the young man’s arrival. He could leave this matter to another person but since the president entrusted this matter to him, he was not at ease letting others deal with it.
Therefore, assistant Guan’s appearance at the entrance caused turbulence among the staff as they guessed which bigshot was going to visit their company today.
Shortly after, assistant Guan finally saw the person he was waiting for slowly walking over to his direction.
Although he has already seen the youth’s picture, he still couldn’t help but stun upon seeing him in person.
In this industry, beauties were like cabbages so with appearance alone one couldn’t possibly survive. They needed to have an outstanding temperament for them to stand out and obviously, the youth before him had the cleanest aura he has ever seen!
‘’Greeting Mr. Ye, I’m Guan Yu who talked to you this morning.’’
Shi Shen returned the greeting,’’Sorry, I have let you wait.’’
Assistant Guan politely said no before urging him to the meeting room.
However, Shi Shen’s looks stood out too much that every eye immediately fell on him the moment he stepped in not to mention seeing assistant Guan’s humble gesture, everyone became even more curious about his identity.
‘’Oh my god, he looks like a little prince!’’
‘’I know right and seeing how polite assistant Guan was, he might possibly be one. Just that...which brand does he wear? Why I seem not to recognize it?’’
‘’Who cares about that? Seeing how he looks and behaves, he definitely comes from a rich family.’’
Meanwhile, on Shi Shen’s side, seeing that the male lead was not in the meeting room, his doubt finally lessened.
Sky Entertainment wouldn’t play dirty and mistreat their artists so after he went through the contract and didn’t see any traps or disadvantages, Shi Shen simply signed his name.
Right after that, the assistant talked with him some more before walking him out.
‘’President Gao, Ye Xie already signed under our agency.’’
Hearing this, Gao Chen lazily raised his brows,’’I don’t seem to hear any liquidated damages?’’
Talking about this matter, Assistant Guan couldn’t help but gloat over XieTian’s misfortune,’’ Coincedently, his contract expired yesterday and he didn’t renew it with the old company. Maybe, he was waiting for the drama to release before looking for elsewhere.’’
‘’What’s his character?’’
A talent with a bad personality or low integrity would also not make it far either.
Hearing this question, assistant Guan immediately gave an assuring smile,’’He has a good upbringing and clean temperament.’’
Gao Chen trusted his assistant’s judgment so he slightly nodded his head in satisfaction before giving another order,’’Assign Yu Yuan to him.’’
This arraignment was within assistant Guan’s expectations so he was not too surprised and immediately went to carry his order.
Yu Yuan was one of the Gold medal agents in their company. Under her hands, she already produced a King of Pop songs, Song Ke.
Seems like president Gao wanted to cultivate that boy into the next Film Emperor.
