Chapter 75: Chapter 075: Joining the Drama Crew Chapter 75: Chapter 075: Joining the Drama Crew Shen Yan almost got attacked in the Xingyu Garage, and Liu Su heard about it from the driver.
That evening, he angrily made a phone call and gave an instruction.
Xu Zishen, who was originally not completely collapsed, now had all his family details dug up.
His previously implied wealthy heir persona on the internet had been fully exposed.
While the netizens were still enjoying the big reveal, Xu Zishen sent another juicy piece of news that made everyone even happier.
[Recently, I’m stuffed with one revelation after another, thinking Xu Zishen’s wealthy heir status was ironclad, but it turned out to be made of paper, easily shredded with a poke!]
[All his family details are out, and the persona of that province’s wealthy son can no longer stand.]
[Such people should stop harming the entertainment industry.]
[I mean, if he were really a wealthy son from that province, after so many days had passed, why hadn’t any powerful backers come forward to clean up after him?]
[There were people saying Fake Princess was sticking to him; now that’s a slap in the face.]
[Dare to say Fake Princess never thought of sticking to Xu Zishen?]
[With Xu Zishen’s character, does he deserve Shen Yan to stick to him? What a joke.]
[Fake Princess herself came from the countryside, saw a tall, rich, and handsome guy, and must’ve thought about marrying into a wealthy family to turn into a phoenix.]
[LOL! I’m going to die laughing, Xu Zishen is tall, rich, and handsome? He’s at most from a well-off family and doesn’t look as good as Mu Jincheng.]
[What’s wrong with being from the countryside, were they eating your family’s rice? Can’t they live? Besides, how can you be so sure that Yanyan came from the countryside? Did she tell you personally?]
[Of course, she won’t admit it herself, maybe she’s also making up a wealthy background like Xu Zishen.]
Within a few sentences, Fireworks fans and some antis started clashing again.
Shen Yan was completely unaware of it.
Recently, she had handed her social media account over to Liu Su to manage.
Liu Su managed Shen Yan’s account to the best of his abilities, posting some everyday scenic photos now and then, or picking some positive comments to reply to.
Liu Su felt that since he took over the agent’s duties, he became much younger!
His energy seemed inexhaustible every day!

The next morning, Shen Yan got up early, ready with her luggage to join the crew.
Stratagem Sage’s filming crew was mobile, filming indoor scenes initially, so they had been shooting inside the film studio.
This time, they were going to another location to shoot the scenes where Shen Yan meets Mu Jincheng.
Liu Su was worried that Xiao Zhao alone would not be able to handle everything at the outdoor location, so he prepared an additional assistant to accompany him and help out wherever Xiao Zhao could not manage.
Shen Yan’s personal makeup artist, Gao Xia, though she had not participated in major competitions, had won many medium-level competition certificates and often did makeup for stars in the film industry, meriting the title of a senior makeup artist!
In choosing people, Liu Su picked the best one.
Otherwise, having a useless person around would only require splitting his attention to look after them, which was unnecessary.
Gao Xia was almost forty years old and had been in the entertainment circle long enough to know what could be said and what couldn’t, which was why Liu Su hired her at a high price.

Shen Yan arrived in G Province that evening.
This part only had a small portion of the female lead’s scenes, later in the production, so seeing Chu Jinghe at the location so early, Shen Yan looked a bit peculiar.
Chu Jinghe had fully recovered from the bee sting, also looking quite spirited.
Seeing Shen Yan, he could gently smile at her.
Shen Yan nodded slightly to him and approached to greet, “Mr. Chu.”
“Shen Yan, you’re too polite. By the way, I watched the concert you did with Wen Yan, very successful! Congratulations on taking another step! In the future, you will definitely surpass me and become a rising star!” Chu Jinghe’s face was beaming as he spoke pleasantly, though what he truly thought was anyone’s guess.
Shen Yan looked at him for several seconds before withdrawing her gaze, “Then I will shamelessly take Mr. Chu’s kind words and strive to surpass Mr. Chu soon, becoming the star you expect me to be!”
Chu Jinghe’s smile started to falter.
She was just being polite, couldn’t Shen Yan hear it?
Had there been no one else around, would she have bothered talking such nonsense with Shen Yan?
As soon as Shen Yan appeared, Chu Jinghe’s brilliance was completely overshadowed.
“Shen Yan!”
Director Li saw Shen Yan and shouted loudly.
When she first met the male lead, Shen Yan, playing the third female, was in a total mess.
So there wasn’t any need for special makeup.
Shen Yan ran over and saw Mu Jincheng, who had messy makeup on, standing next to the director listening to him discussing the scene, and looked up at Shen Yan.
She didn’t know what was happening.
As soon as Shen Yan showed up, Mu Jincheng found it hard to look away.
There seemed to be a kind of magic about Shen Yan, attracting people’s attention!
Seeing Shen Yan in good spirits, Director Li had the staff hand over the prepared rough clothes to Shen Yan, “Go change into these, put on a beggar makeup, and get ready to shoot your first scene.”
Without any objection, Shen Yan took the clothes to change, and according to the script, Gao Xia applied a grimy makeup on her that even her parents wouldn’t recognize.
The makeup was genuinely dirty.
But it somehow felt a bit fake.
“Wow! Sister Gao, your makeup skills are incredible!” Xiao Zhao walked around her and couldn’t spot any flaws.
If one hadn’t been watching the whole process, they wouldn’t have known that the grimy-looking person was Shen Yan!
Because she was escaping, and then captured and tortured, her body was either covered in mud or blood.
The mix of mud and blood was not a pleasant sight.
Shen Yan felt it was still not enough, and as soon as she went outside, she rolled into a mud pit nearby, nearly scaring everyone to death thinking she had fallen.
When Shen Yan with all the dirt returned in front of Director Li, no one recognized her.
“Director Li, is this good?”
As soon as Shen Yan spoke, everyone was stunned.
Director Li once again expressed his admiration for Shen Yan’s dedication.
Shen Yan was so beautiful and delicate; he had thought she would be like other actresses who refuse to uglify or dirty themselves.
This was what you call a mess!
Mu Jincheng glanced at Shen Yan and slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
Compared to Shen Yan’s makeup, he now seemed too clean, appearing somewhat unprofessional.
Shen Yan must have done it intentionally.
“Director Li, I need to touch up my makeup as well since I’m also supposed to be a fugitive,” Mu Jincheng pointed at Shen Yan and added, “The scene is set right after it has rained, it seems inconsistent for one to be dirty and the other clean.”
“No need for that hassle, Teacher Mu can just roll over there,” Shen Yan pointed to the mud pit she had rolled in, and said.
Mu Jincheng followed her pointing finger and his expression slightly changed.
Shen Yan was actually suggesting he roll in the mud pit!
His eyes narrowed slightly, staring coldly at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan looked back at him innocently.
Under everyone’s gaze, just as Mu Jincheng was about to force himself to roll, Director Li said, “Your escape is different from hers, yours is a trained escape, hers is a desperate flight from being hunted. They’re not the same; when you slide down the mud slope later to save someone, getting muddy will achieve the same effect.”
Mu Jincheng sighed in relief.
At this time, he had already met his master and was being sent by his master for night training in the woods to learn counterattacking through escapism.
It just so happened that he encountered the third female played by Shen Yan being chased, desperately needing rescue, and he, the male lead, saved her.
This was their first encounter!
