Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

"Is everything going well on the set?" A moment after the call was connected, Wu Mingxu's magnetic voice sounded over there.

Xiao Qiongyi's cheeks turned slightly red. To be honest, having such a young, handsome and rich suitor made her vanity greatly satisfied. Unfortunately, if she didn't like him, she just didn't like him. She couldn't deceive her heart.

"Everything is fine. Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your concern." She calmed down and replied softly.

As for the grievances she suffered, she didn't want to say that she already owed him a huge favor and didn't want to trouble him too much. After all, she didn't intend to accept his pursuit.

"That's good, I can rest assured." Wu Mingxu did not expose her lies. She has always been so kind, and she does not resent even if she is excluded.

But he felt distressed. He would not let go of anyone who dared to bully her!

"Don't be afraid if something happens, I will always protect you." Wu Mingxu made a serious promise, with a domineering tone in his voice that he would not hesitate to be the enemy of the world.

Xiao Qiongyi subconsciously held her face, and her heart was beating fast: "I, I'm going to sleep," she stammered out a poor excuse, "I have to shoot tomorrow morning... Filming..."

"Haha——" Wu Mingxu chuckled.

The deep laughter seemed to be spitting out next to her ear. Xiao Qiongyi even sensitively felt that her ears were burned by the hot and humid breath. She was so frightened that she quickly moved her phone away.

The man on the other side of the phone didn't say anything else. He just said, "Good night." Then he hung up the phone after two seconds.

Xiao Mingyi put down her phone and shyly held her slightly hot face. She always felt that Wu was teasing her. In the past, she was only worried about his pursuit, but today she seemed to be a little moved.

Especially after experiencing the destruction of her idol's halo, her face instantly dimmed when she thought of what happened on the set today.

After working all night and not resting until late at night, Yang Yan got up early the next morning and arrived at the set on time. Yang Yan was keenly aware that something was not right about the atmosphere here.

Although everyone was still busy with their own affairs just like yesterday, they looked at the heroine with evasive eyes. Even Director Zhang was much more polite to her and did not get angry when she failed again. Instead, he told her about the drama over and over again.

It seemed like the person behind her had taken action.

Yang Yan had some guesses in his mind and sent his assistant to inquire. As expected, one employee was fired last night, and everyone else also received warnings.

"Brother Qu, you were very rude to Xiao Qiongyi yesterday. Did you offend Zhaotian because of this?" Yu Leshan asked with some anxiety.

"If you offend, you will be offended. Am I still afraid of them?" Yang Yan curled his lips and said without caring at all.

Yu Leshan's expression was a bit hard to explain. Zhaotian is a leading company in the domestic entertainment industry. Even though Qu Ge is the top traffic player now, if he is really blocked by them, he will be nothing at all.

Remember that Brother Qu used to be very low-key and humble? Why have you suddenly become so arrogant?

Yang Yan took one look at him and guessed that he was probably slandering him, but he didn't argue with him. After all, what he just said sounded a bit arrogant to anyone. Only he knew clearly that Zhaotian was very important to him. Soon it will become nothing to fear.

However, Wu Mingxu sent someone to warn everyone on the crew, but let him alone. He didn't think that the other party was concerned about his position or conscience, and was probably holding back some big move.

It seems that although he didn't get too close to the heroine like the original owner and attracted his attention, he was still resented because he was not too polite to the heroine!

I wonder what means he will use to deal with himself this time? I’m really looking forward to it!

Looking at Xiao Qiongyi, who was a little carried away by being held in front of the camera all morning, he stood up calmly, with an evil smile on his lips - it was time to give the heroine some trouble.

Next, it was the turn of the male and female protagonists to play against each other. The entire crew was lucky enough to witness Qu's acting skills, which are called "explosive".

His every word and action, every look in his eyes, and even the muscles on his face are all drama, completely showing the male protagonist's nervousness but having to suppress it when facing danger, inspiring everyone to regain hope.

Everyone was stunned, including Xiao Qiongyi who should have reacted at this time.

"Ka--" Director Zhang's angry shouts brought everyone back to their senses. He pointed at the woman in the field and wanted to curse, but he quickly remembered something and barely suppressed his anger. He said in a stiff tone, "Do it again."

If it weren't for the pressure from Zhaotian, the largest investor in this drama, he would have wanted to replace her immediately for such a soulless actor!

I don't know what Zhaotian thinks. He insists on praising her. Could it be that he has won someone's favor?

But looking at her face, she is just pretty. She is inconspicuous in the entertainment industry where there are so many beauties, and she doesn't know what the taste of the people who fall in love with her is.

As for Xiao Qiongyi, although she was not scolded, she felt more uncomfortable at this moment than if she had been scolded. The director and the people around her looked at her as if she were looking at garbage, which made her want to get back in order.

This was exactly the effect Yang Yan wanted. He kept it secret and concentrated on his own performance throughout the whole process. He just didn't have the kindness to bring the other person into the play. Others couldn't criticize him.

However, Xiao Qiongyi obviously couldn't handle his acting, and she was still repeatedly NGed. The huge psychological pressure made her worse each time. Although she responded, she was clumsy, her face was full of fear, and she stuttered when she spoke. It was better not to respond at the beginning!

Now, even if Director Zhang was concerned about Zhaotian, he couldn't tolerate her. He simply asked her to go back to the cloud to rest and find her state, skipped this scene and filmed other scenes first.

In the end, Xiao Qiongyi ran out of the set crying. Yang Yan looked at her back and felt nothing in his heart. Some people are not suitable for a certain position, so they should not be thought of randomly.

After this time, Director Zhang wanted to replace the person, but Zhaotian refused to agree. In the end, he had no choice, but he didn't want to see her upset for the time being, so he simply gave her a few days off and asked her to think about it carefully.

Xiao Qiongyi knew that she was not welcome, but she didn't want to give up just like that. She came every day to watch others act.

This movie is a big production, and the most prominent actor is naturally Yang Yan, but the others are not bad either. Regardless of their fame, at least their acting skills are very good. After she was gone, the filming progress has been very good.

This made her feel even more ashamed, and she felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Moreover, the crew didn't dare to offend her because of Zhao Tian, ​​but they didn't want to pay attention to her. She came and went alone every day, sitting on the set, looking very pitiful.

A few days later, when Wu Mingxu came to visit the set, he saw such a scene, and his eyes instantly ignited with anger.

"Mr. Wu?" Director Zhang was startled when he turned around and saw him, "Why did you come here in person?"

"I came to see Qiongyi," Wu Mingxu suppressed his dissatisfaction, put his arm around Xiao Qiongyi's waist, and regardless of her weak struggle, he pressed her into his arms, raised his eyebrows and said, "She didn't cause you any trouble here, did she?"

When Director Zhang saw this scene, how could he not understand who the backer behind this woman was? He immediately smiled: "Look at what President Wu said, how could Qiongyi cause trouble? She is sensible and obedient, and has good acting skills. You Zhaotian really found a treasure again."

At the same time, he was nervous. If he had known that Xiao Qiongyi was the sponsor of Zhaotian's boss, he would not dare to offend her even if her acting skills were like shit!

This is over. I don't know if it's too late to make up for it now. If he holds a grudge against him, it will be difficult for him to survive in this circle in the future.

"Really?" Wu Mingxu said with a half-smile, "Why did I hear Director Zhang didn't let her act?"

"Where did you hear that gossip, Mr. Wu?" Director Zhang said with a surprised look on his face, "Qiong Yi is a newcomer after all, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in her acting skills. I'm asking her to watch more and learn from the seniors, which will also be beneficial to her future development."

"I see," Wu Mingxu seemed to believe it, and the smile on his face became more sincere, "Then I'll ask Director Zhang to take care of Qiong Yi in the future."

"Of course, of course." Director Zhang quickly agreed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

But he was more determined in his heart. Regardless of whether he believed his words or not, since he could still say such words, it proved that there was still room for recovery.

"Since Director Zhang doesn't need anyone now, I'll borrow her from you to accompany me around." Wu Mingxu said, holding Xiao Qiong Yi's hand, and then put it on his arm.

Seeing the director's attitude of being arrogant at first and then respectful later, she knew that he was here to support her and help her gain a foothold in the crew. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she still did not resist and took Shangyun obediently.

"No problem," Director Zhang naturally agreed, and also reminded, "Qiongyi, you should accompany President Wu well, don't worry about the crew's affairs, you will have your scene tomorrow."

Xiao Qiongyi bit her lip and responded: "Okay, Director."

Wu Mingxu was very satisfied with his approach, and waved his hand and said: "Then thank you Director Zhang, I will treat the entire crew to dinner tonight to reward everyone."

At the same time, he glanced at Yang Yan next to him meaningfully from the corner of his eyes, and he didn't know if he didn't see it, but he didn't react at all.

"Then I will thank President Wu on behalf of everyone." Director Zhang guessed that he probably wanted to build momentum for Xiao Qiongyi, so he didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

The two of them walked away so openly. When the crew saw this scene, they exchanged tacit glances. It turned out that she had such a big backer behind her. No wonder she could become the heroine even though her acting skills were so poor.

This is common in the entertainment industry. Although everyone was upset, they could do nothing about it. They only warned themselves silently in their hearts that they must be careful in the future and never offend her.

Because the largest investor was treating, the crew finished work early that night. The place was set at the largest local hotel where they were staying. Wu Mingxu generously booked the entire floor to entertain everyone.

"Xiao Qu, you should find a chance to apologize to Xiao Qiongyi later!" Before the meal started, Director Zhang patted Yang Yan's shoulder and said earnestly.

He raised his eyebrows, and a little doubt appeared in his eyes at the right time.

"Your current position is big, but compared with the entire Zhaotian, it is nothing. If they want to deal with you, you will definitely not be able to resist." Director Zhang's face showed a trace of vicissitudes.

"I've seen through this circle for so many years. Capital is the most important thing. Everything else is shit!" He shook his head and said, "Although you didn't do anything, a woman suddenly came up to you. If it were me, I would be more careful."

"But this woman is relying on President Wu now. If she whispers something in your ear, all your previous efforts will be ruined!"

His words were sincere, but Yang Yan's heart was not moved. Some people are like this. They can be close to you when it is not related to their interests, but once their interests are endangered, they will be the first to abandon you.

"I understand. Thank you Director Zhang for your reminder." He replied lightly and said nothing more.

Director Zhang saw him like this and obviously did not listen to his words. He shook his head and sighed with some regret in his heart: After all, he is a young man.

The owner's people came a little early. After waiting for almost 20 minutes, Wu Mingxu and Xiao Qiongyi arrived on time. Everyone had no complaints. When they arrived, they started to toast.

People in the world are very realistic. Before, Xiao Qiongyi was not liked by the director, and the whole crew didn't pay much attention to her. Now they find that the backer behind her is very strong, and they all go to flatter her.

Everyone praised her like a flower, and her delicate appearance became a stunning beauty. Even her poor acting skills could be praised as real.

Xiao Qiongyi was a little flattered at first, but she gradually adapted to it and started a business-to-business relationship with everyone. She knew who brought all this, and her eyes gradually softened when she looked at Wu Mingxu.

However, he did not notice this at this time. His eyes moved across Yang Yan for a moment and winked at the person next to him.

The assistant beside him quickly understood, picked up a glass of wine and walked in front of him, saying respectfully: "Teacher Qu has worked hard these days. Please take care of Miss Xiao in the future."

Because Xiao Qiongyi was not given face on the set before, Yang Yan was not ignored at the banquet today, but the crew was not as enthusiastic as usual, for fear of being an eyesore and being hated by them.

At this time, Zhaotian's people took the initiative to show goodwill. Although the people around them did not look at them on the surface, they were secretly paying attention.

Yang Yan chuckled, picked up the cup in front of him, stood up, politely clinked with him, and then raised his head and drank it all.

Wu Mingxu saw him drink the wine without any doubt, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: If a woman dares to offend him, he can ruin her reputation even if she is a movie star!

"Boss Wu." Xiao Qiongyi suddenly called out.

Wu Mingxu's eyes softened instantly, and he turned his head to look at her lovingly: "What's wrong?"

"I, I want to toast you a glass, can, can I?" Xiao Qiongyi said while holding the glass.

She had drunk several glasses of wine before, and her cheeks were flushed at this time, her eyes were moist, and she looked at him like a little animal, with dependence.

Wu Mingxu's heart softened immediately. At this time, even if she brought a glass of poison and asked him to drink it, he would drink it without hesitation, let alone wine?

However, he wanted to tease her, so he didn't immediately agree, but deliberately asked: "Why do you want to toast me?"

"I'm really grateful to you," Xiao Qiongyi was a little drunk, and answered honestly, "You helped me a lot, a lot."

"But I don't want your gratitude," Wu Mingxu couldn't help it anymore, and held her hand, "I just want you, your heart."

Xiao Qiongyi's face was only slightly red, but after listening to his confession, she blushed from head to toe, like a cooked shrimp.

"Don't do this, there are so many people watching!" She gently struggled to get out, but didn't say anything to reject him.

Wu Mingxu was overjoyed, and wanted to hug her tightly and turn around twice, but there were so many people present, in order not to scare her, he could only suppress his excitement.

After letting go of her hand, he picked up the wine glass and clinked it with hers, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "Please give me more advice in the future, girlfriend."

Xiao Qiongyi said nothing, just looked at him shyly.

Wu Mingxu burst into laughter immediately, and the others didn't know what happened, and looked at him in surprise.

"I am very happy today," he raised the glass in his hand, "We won't go home until we are drunk!"

Although they didn't understand what he was happy about, they had to give face to the investors, so they all raised their glasses and echoed, "We won't go home until we are drunk!"

Yang Yan also raised his glass with the crowd, but through the staggered glass, he saw that the two people in the C position had a strange smile in their eyes, but it was a pity that everyone's attention was focused on those two people, and no one noticed it.

When the banquet was coming to an end, Yang Yan felt a wave of heat surging from his body, and his head was a little dizzy. He propped his hands on the table and pressed his temples with his fingers.

"Brother Qu, what's wrong with you?" Yu Leshan quickly discovered that something was wrong with him.

"Maybe he drank too much," Yang Yan answered with his eyes closed, "Go tell Director Zhang, we'll go back first."

Yu Leshan responded and quickly ran to Director Zhang who was talking to Wu Mingxu and told him about his discomfort.

Director Zhang glanced at the man next to him, afraid that he would spoil the fun, and quickly said: "It's almost over, tell Xiao Qu to be patient."

"But..." Yu Leshan argued in a low voice, but he was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Since Mr. Qu is not feeling well, I think everyone is almost done today, otherwise let's go first!" Wu Mingxu said sympathetically, as for whether he was really kind, only he knew.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!" Yu Leshan said happily, and ran over quickly to help Yang Yan up.

On the other hand, Director Zhang was a little unhappy. He was discussing investment in the next movie with Mr. Wu, and he seemed very interested, but now he was disturbed.

The same goes for Qu Yangyan. He had never felt uncomfortable before, but at the critical moment, he actually held him back!

Not knowing that he was already hated by Director Zhang, Yang Yan was getting more and more drowsy at this time, and was half-supported and half-dragged into the elevator by Yu Leshan.

"Brother Qu usually has a good drinking capacity. Why did he get drunk so quickly today?" He didn't realize anything was wrong at all. He muttered to himself and pressed the floor button.

The elevator door quickly closed and opened, and he dragged the man's heavy body to the room with difficulty. By the time he put the man on the bed, he was already sweating profusely.

Just when he was considering whether to help him take off his clothes, the mobile phone in his bag suddenly rang. Afraid of disturbing Brother Qu, he hurried to the living room to pick it up, but he heard the person over there saying that he had picked up Brother Qu's mobile phone. .

For artists, mobile phones are very important. He asked about the model and color, then quickly went to check on Brother Qu and found that his mobile phone was not there.

Yu Leshan didn't think much about it, why did the other party insist that the mobile phone he picked up belonged to Brother Qu? She pulled the quilt over him and hurried out to get something.

And not long after he left, there was a sudden "click" in the quiet room, and the door that had been closed was opened from the outside, and a scantily clad woman sneaked in.

She looked around furtively and saw that the door of one of the rooms was not closed properly. She walked over quietly and saw through the crack in the door that the person inside was drowsily closing his eyes and letting out a soft sigh.

After that, she became much bolder. She lifted her hair and made a charming gesture, then opened the door and walked in.

It felt like she had walked out of the catwalk a few steps away. She stopped at the head of the bed and looked down at the flushed man on the bed.

Her eyes described the man's perfect body inch by inch, and she said in a low voice: "I can have a showdown with the famous Actor Qu, and I won't lose this time."

As if feeling her gaze, Yang Yan slowly opened his eyes and asked drowsily: "Who are you? Where is Xiaoyu?"

"He?" the woman said disdainfully, "That fool went to find your phone, and I~~"

She stretched out her fingers and slowly slid them from the end of her eyebrows along her cheeks to her plump lips, and made a sound like a moan or a cry: "She is a woman who can make you happy..."

As she spoke, her fingers moved downward, slowly slid down her collarbone, and then moved to her snow-white shoulders, pulling open the slender strap bit by bit.

The soft fabric that had lost its support instantly fell to the ground. She bit her lip and looked at the man seductively, expecting him to pounce on her later.

And just as she thought, Yang Yan slowly sat up and raised his hand towards her.

Seeing his perfect and handsome face approaching, the woman suddenly felt a little shy for some reason. She closed her eyes subconsciously and gently kissed her lips.

However, after waiting for a long time, she did not get the warm touch she expected. Instead, she heard a cold voice: "So, you dismissed my assistant with premeditation and ran into my room."
