Everyone was shocked!
What was Lu Zhiqian's status in the circle? How many directors had begged on their knees for him to play the male lead, but he had always refused. So how could he possibly condescend to play the male second now?
When everyone thought it was impossible, Lu Zhiqian glanced at Feng Yu and then calmly asked, "Can I read the script first?"
"Sure!"
Song Qing felt as if he had found a life - saver. He immediately handed Lu Zhiqian the script for the male second in *The Legend of Lu Lan*, and Lu Zhiqian actually started reading the script right on the set.
Feng Yu hadn't recovered from the shock when Song Qing pushed the contract in his hand towards her.
"Xiaoyu, there were indeed some misunderstandings between us before. But I know that you'll help out in a crisis on the set, right?"
"I... how can I help you?" Feng Yu looked at Song Qing helplessly.
Song Qing, being of an advanced age, could clearly tell that Lu Zhiqian had a special attitude towards Feng Yu.
He firmly placed the contract in Feng Yu's hand.
Song Qing looked at her with determination. "Take the contract to him. He'll definitely agree."
But Feng Yu felt as if the contract in her hand was a hot potato.
If she went to him and Fu Qianshen found out, he'd probably be extremely jealous.
If she didn't go, it would be disrespectful to Song Qing, and it would be hard to repay this favor.
However, she was just going to hand the contract to Lu Zhiqian. Whether he signed it or not didn't really have much to do with her, right?
After some thought, Feng Yu took the contract and walked up to the movie king Lu. She said playfully, "Movie King Lu, Movie King Lu?"
"What's up?" Lu Zhiqian looked up and calmly stared at the somewhat playful Feng Yu.
Feng Yu pointed at the script with her slender finger and looked at him pitifully.
"I've been preparing for this script for a long time, but the actor playing the male second dropped out of the crew... But I also know that Movie King Lu is very busy. It's okay if you can't take on the role."
Lu Zhiqian stared at Feng Yu calmly. On the surface, there was no change, but in fact, his heart suddenly stirred. He felt something different within himself.
Was this a girl acting coquettishly?
Did she act like this with Fu Qianshen too?
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly darkened, showing a hint of coldness.
Feng Yu thought he was angry and immediately jumped up. Then she smiled and said, "Ah, actually I didn't mean anything! Given Movie King Lu's status, there's no need for you to condescend to play the male second..."
"I can play the role."
Lu Zhiqian closed the script in his hand. The coldness in his eyes lessened a bit, and he calmly said, "Where's the contract? Give it to me."
"Aren't you going to discuss it with your agent?" Feng Yu asked again.
Lu Zhiqian shook his head and said firmly, "No need."
Feng Yu: "..."
Without any hesitation, Lu Zhiqian directly signed his name on the contract!
Song Qing was so touched that he was almost in tears.
With Lu Zhiqian, the ace actor, joining the crew, and considering that Lu Zhiqian and Feng Yu had previously played the male and female leads together.
They had great chemistry during the filming, and they quickly finished reshooting the scenes that needed to be redone.
Everyone was amazed.
"Xiaoyu and Movie King Lu really have an inexplicable CP vibe!"
"Don't you think Movie King Lu's eyes look different when he's working with Xiaoyu compared to usual?"
"Really?"
Everyone stared at Lu Zhiqian on the monitor. They always felt that in Lu Zhiqian's acting, there was more tenderness and emotion than in all his previous works. He portrayed the male second's feelings just right.
Song Qing excitedly stared at the two on the monitor and shouted, "Cut!"
A smile curled up on Feng Yu's lips. "Movie King Lu really lives up to his reputation. He can handle the role right away."
Lu Zhiqian gave her a calm look.
"We've known each other for so long. Why are you still like everyone else, seizing every opportunity to praise me?"
Feng Yu let out a soft laugh and joked, "So Movie King Lu likes to be criticized by others?"
Lu Zhiqian didn't seem to be angry. He just put his hands in his pockets and said, "Focus on filming."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhiqian turned around and left the shooting studio. As soon as he walked out, he saw Fu Qianshen with a cold face. It seemed that Fu Qianshen had been waiting for him for a while.
"Even the great Movie King Lu would condescend to play the male second?" Fu Qianshen sneered.
How could Lu Zhiqian not hear the sarcasm in his voice? His eyes turned cold, and he didn't back down at all. He slowly said, "If Feng Yu is involved, it's definitely okay."
Fu Qianshen narrowed his eyes. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a chilling aura emanated from his whole body.
But Lu Zhiqian wasn't afraid at all. There was no change in his facial expression, but a cold glint also appeared in his eyes. The way he looked at Fu Qianshen was like a venomous snake ready to hunt.
He was so much like...
The person in his memory!
Fu Qianshen gritted his teeth and warned him, "No matter what your purpose is for approaching Xiaoyu, if you dare to hurt her..."
"Mr. Qiu is joking."
Lu Zhiqian still wasn't angry. A sneering smile curled up on his lips. "How could I bear to hurt her? You're overthinking. I'll cherish her more than you."
"Mr. Qiu, no matter who your wife is, Feng Yu is the one I'm set on."
Lu Zhiqian gave him a meaningful look, indifferently patted his shoulder, and then left the crew directly.
Not long after Lu Zhiqian left, Bai Shaoting seriously emerged from the shadows. "You asked me to investigate Lu Zhiqian before, but I still haven't found out about his background. This Lu Zhiqian is definitely not an ordinary person!"
"I know." There was a fierce look on Fu Qianshen's face.
Maybe it was because Lu Zhiqian's cold and venomous eyes reminded him of Fu Liangshen before the explosion.
There was more concern in Bai Shaoting's eyes.
"Should we continue to investigate Lu Zhiqian? But I feel that Lu Zhiqian seems to have noticed us and has started to be on guard."
Fu Qianshen clenched his fists, as if trying hard to hold back something. "Keep investigating."
Bai Shaoting looked at Feng Yu who was filming in the distance. There was more worry in his eyes. "Okay. And if Third Sister - in - law continues to interact with him without any precautions, will it... Should we tell Third Sister - in - law in advance?"
Fu Qianshen shifted his gaze to Feng Yu who was seriously filming in the distance. The fierceness in his eyes lessened a bit, and instead, there was more tenderness.
If possible, he just wanted Feng Yu to happily do what she wanted to do. He didn't want to drag her into these abysses.
"Not for now." Fu Qianshen said firmly.
Bai Shaoting looked at the determined Fu Qianshen, then at Feng Yu in the distance. He always felt that what Fu Qianshen was doing might be inappropriate, but he understood his concerns too well.
When you love someone, you don't want her to get hurt because of you, or even...
Lose her life.
