"Mr. Lu, it's not that I didn't try to persuade her to stay. She was determined to leave," Qian Qining said, looking rather helpless.
He really liked this movie star, Lu. Outsiders only knew that all the movies he starred in were hits, but they didn't know that he deserved most of the credit. If he had to choose between Feng Yayin and Lu Zhiqian, he wouldn't even consider the powerful forces behind Feng Yayin and would definitely choose Lu Zhiqian.
Lu Zhiqian gave him a cold look, said nothing, and left.
Qian Qining was extremely vexed. He quickly grabbed Lu Zhiqian's agent and asked, "What does Mr. Lu mean?"
The agent shrugged. "I don't know either..."
Feng Yu was walking on the set, wondering if she should go and say goodbye to Lu Zhiqian. After all, he had helped her, and even his long - standing reputation for being free of scandals had been affected because of her.
While lost in thought, Feng Yu didn't notice the props on the ground. Just as she was about to fall, someone grabbed her arm.
In a dizzying moment, she landed in a cold embrace. A clear voice came from above her head.
"How many lives do you think you have to waste?"
When Feng Yu realized it was Lu Zhiqian, she quickly pushed him away. Looking at the big pit behind the props, she let out a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him. "Thanks."
"It's just a small thing."
Lu Zhiqian's expression was cold. Feng Yu found that this man seemed to have no other expressions and always had a straight face. No wonder the characters he played were all cold and emotionless.
"I heard you're leaving?"
"Ah?" Feng Yu's eyes flickered. "Y - yes."
"Reason."
Lu Zhiqian's cold eyes scrutinized her.
Feng Yu stammered for a long time and finally squeezed out a sentence. "My family... doesn't like me acting."
The only person in her family who could be like this was Fu Qianshen.
There was always a deep, dark layer of ice in Lu Zhiqian's cold eyes, making it hard to figure out what he was thinking.
After a long while, he said, "If your family allows it, would you still want to continue acting?"
Feng Yu frowned so hard that they were almost knitted together. She was afraid that her family member would never allow it.
"Let's... talk about it later. I'm not very good at acting anyway. Being with you guys would only hold you back," Feng Yu said.
Lu Zhiqian glanced at her and said indifferently, "You act very well."
It was rare for the movie star Lu to give a compliment.
Feng Yu forced a smile. "Thanks."
Lu Zhiqian looked at a certain place and said, "I have a scene to reshoot. If you're free, come with me."
"I'm free, but..."
"Just watch the filming."
Since Lu Zhiqian had said so, Feng Yu couldn't refuse for a moment.
She checked the time. Mr. Fu should be in a meeting at this time, and Ge'er and Mu Li should still be in bed. As long as she got back by noon, it should be okay.
Feng Yu nodded and followed him.
During the years she was locked up in the Feng family, she either surfed the Internet or watched TV shows. Most of the shows she watched were crime - solving and suspense dramas. She rarely watched idol dramas. And Lu Zhiqian mostly acted in ancient - costume dramas, which she had never watched.
She followed Lu Zhiqian to another set, and it immediately caused quite a stir.
Lu Zhiqian was filming two movies at the same time. Fortunately, both were in the same film and television base, so there wouldn't be any problems.
"Love by the Blue Water" was being filmed and broadcast simultaneously at a relatively fast pace. Now he was filming a modern suspense drama called "The Light of Enlightenment".
Lu Zhiqian played a police chief with a dual personality. Among the police chiefs, he was outstanding, with a super - intelligent mind and a unique way of solving cases. There was no case he couldn't solve once he took it on.
But at the same time, he was also an extremely cautious serial killer, cold - blooded and cruel. He had no motive for killing but kept creating perfect crime scenes.
This drama was adapted from a novel and was a big IP. So it was already very popular even before it was broadcast. In the novel, there was originally a female lead, who was the subordinate of the police chief played by Lu Zhiqian and a female forensic doctor. However, the actress for the female lead had not been finalized yet. There was a lot of online discussion about who was suitable for the role.
When Lu Zhiqian brought Feng Yu to the set, there was quite a stir, after all, they had just been involved in a scandal.
Seeing them come and go together, it was hard not to make people have wild imaginations.
"Hello, Feng Yu. I'm the director of 'The Light of Enlightenment'," Yang Mulian said. As soon as he saw Feng Yu, the image of the female lead in his mind suddenly became clear. Coupled with the fact that she came with the movie star Lu, he was extremely enthusiastic.
Feng Yu politely greeted him back. Who would have thought that Director Yang couldn't wait to say to her, "I have a drama where the female lead has not been finalized yet. Are you interested?"
"Movie star Lu is the male lead."
Director Yang had an ambiguous smile on his face.
Feng Yu was both amused and helpless. She was trying to avoid the limelight precisely because the male lead was Lu Zhiqian. "Sorry. I won't take on any more dramas for the time being."
"Ah? That old Qian must have signed some overbearing contract with you. You can think about it. If it really doesn't work out, I can wait for you to finish filming there and then come back to shoot your scenes," Yang Mulian looked at Feng Yu.
He could already feel how popular his drama would be once it was filmed. But this little girl remained unmoved and kept saying sorry.
He said with a look of regret, "It's okay, it's okay. You're here to visit movie star Lu, right? Then let's watch movie star Lu's acting skills first?"
Yang Mulian asked his assistant to move a chair next to him and arranged for Feng Yu to sit down.
Feng Yu nodded.
She had always liked crime - solving and suspense dramas because they had a fast pace and a mysterious plot, so she was really into them.
Watching Lu Zhiqian's acting, seeing him put on a black windbreaker, hold a gun and stand in a corner of the garage, with the muzzle of the gun pointed at the camera and a sinister smile on his face, she felt as if she was the prey being captured. She rubbed her arms and felt a chill run down her spine.
"Cut! Cut! Cut! Movie star Lu, your acting is just amazing!" Director Yang was almost moved to tears.
Now he had the perfect footage for the promotional trailer, and he was extremely happy.
Lu Zhiqian was cold and didn't like to smile. He just politely nodded.
He walked up to Feng Yu. When Feng Yu looked at him, her heart skipped a few beats.
"Are you in the mood of the character?"
Lu Zhiqian asked.
Feng Yu gave him a thumbs - up and couldn't help but praise him. "Movie star Lu, your acting skills are really not exaggerated. I'm scared even through the screen. It's as if your gun is really pointed at me. Your acting skills are just beyond the screen."
She praised him so much that there was a hint of a smile in Lu Zhiqian's eyes.
But Feng Yu still felt that even when this man smiled, it made her feel a bit creepy.
"It's getting late. I have to go," Feng Yu said, looking at the time. Mr. Fu should be almost done with his work, and she could just go back in time for lunch.
