Chapter 1416: The Big Thing in Life

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

This way, you can continue to work together and develop feelings for each other. One day, I might be able to eat at your wedding banquet!

The thought of Shi Hanchu and Su Manman ending up together made Little Song feel happy.

Shi Hanchu looked at Little Song…

Little Song chuckled. “Brother Hanchu, since you’ve acted with Manman together today, you should already know how superb her acting skill is! I can tell that you and Manman were acting earnestly today! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you giving your all like that… so I think Manman must have been a worthy acting opponent! In that case… don’t you think Manman should be the female lead?”

All these years, Shi Hanchu was practically invincible when it comes to acting in the industry!

Today, when he was acting with Su Manman, Shi Hanchu had to admit that he liked how it went…

Good actors, after getting the director’s instruction to start, not only can enter their own character’s state of mind immediately, they should also be able to lead the other actors to do the same.

Su Manman was such an actress!

She was still young, but her talent was something that ordinary actors could never obtain in their lifetimes. Such were the skills that only experienced actors had.

These were things that others could only learn after years or even decades of hard work. For Su Manman to possess it at such a young age, she must have been born to be an actress.

It was rare for Little Song to see Shi Hanchu take someone seriously after acting all these years. He had never done that unless he was acting together with another veteran!

Perhaps… it was because there hadn’t been an opponent that was worthy of Shi Hanchu’s attention.

In that case, to meet such a worthy opponent must be a joyous occasion.

In Little Song’s eyes, before meeting Su Manman… Shi Hanchu was truly invincible!

“Mm…” Shi Hanchu replied. “I can recommend her.”

Little Song smiled. “Okay! I’ll call Director Chen’s assistant first to see if they have decided on the female lead.”

With that, Little Song shrank back into the backseat and called Director Chen’s assistant to check if they had already found a suitable female lead. Shi Hanchu put on his earphones and lay back on the chair to rest.

After getting off the phone, Little Song wanted to tell Shi Hanchu that Director Chen had not found a suitable candidate for the female lead yet. However, seeing that Shi Hanchu had already closed his eyes to rest, he retreated.

Director Chen Wenhua was a famous director. He was very talented. Although he didn’t have that many productions under his belt, everything he produced was considered a masterpiece…

Whether it was the settings, the costumes, or the casts, he took every aspect of filming very seriously. In fact… many of his scenes were filmed in actual locations, not just a movie set.

In picking actors, he was very nitpicky. People with good acting chops, but had an unsuitable image for the work were eliminated. If one had good acting chops and a suitable image… they would be eliminated if they were unprofessional!

In short, it was challenging to find an actress that Director Chen Wenhua deemed worthy.

Little Song sincerely hoped that Director Chen Wenhua would choose Su Manman as the female lead. This way, Su Manman and Shi Hanchu would experience a romantic relationship, even if it was only on screen. Who knew… love would blossom on the set, and they would really end up getting together!

If that happened… Su Manman would heal Shi Hanchu’s wounds that were left behind by Jiang Mingzhu in her death.

…

Su Manman put on her makeup and waited for the male and female leads’ scenes to end. After entering the set, she sat on a chair, staring at the male and female leads who were gazing deeply at each other. Her brows furrowed slightly.

In her past life as Jiang Mingzhu, Su Manman had lived her life putting on a false front. She had suppressed her own personality and pretended to be gentle and virtuous in front of others. In this lifetime, her greatest wish was to live freely, not having to restrain herself at all.

But… as Jiang Mingzhu, she clearly had some habits of her own, and she couldn’t hide her concern for Shi Hanchu. It was inevitable that people would misunderstand her actions as imitating Jiang Mingzhu.

Su Manman frowned as she thought about these things. Her fingers subconsciously brushed against the corner of her shirt as she thought of the word “habit”…

Su Manman lowered her gaze and looked at her fingers that were pinching the corner of her shirt, then released them abruptly as if she had been electrocuted.

She had never concealed such subtle actions and habits. It was only natural for her to be misunderstood.

Dong dong suddenly rushed in from outside. Probably worried that it might affect the filming, he lowered his voice and said to Su Manman, “Manman! Manman! Weibo’s trending searches have exploded… There’s a post saying that you’re imitating the movie queen Jiang Mingzhu!”

Yang Weiyi, who was watching the male and female leads act, tightened her grip on her phone while keeping a straight face. She didn’t turn around to look at Su Manman.

“What…” Su Manman’s tone was very calm.

“Brother Jie couldn’t get through to you on the phone, so he called me!” Dong Dong quickly passed the phone to Su Manman. “Brother Jie told me to watch you and tell you not to speak nonsense and for you to call him back quickly!”

Su Manman took the phone from Dong Dong’s hand and glanced at it. Tu Jie had good precautionary measures. The post hadn’t fully exploded yet, but his people had already discovered it.

“Yang Weiyi… where’s my phone?” Su Manman looked up and asked.

Yang Weiyi then turned around and handed the phone to Su Manman. “It’s here!”

Su Manman took her phone and glanced at it. There were 14 missed calls from Tu Jie. Her phone was muted, so she glanced at Yang Weiyi.

Yang Weiyi explained guiltily, “Just now, the assistant director said that he wanted the people at the scene to mute their phones, so I…”

Before Yang Weiyi could finish his explanation, Su Manman had already left with her phone to call Tu Jie back.

Meng Yuqiao, who was filming, saw Su Manman rushing out of the studio from the corner of her eye. Her lips curled up… and the way she looked at the Dragon Emperor became increasingly seductive.

At the entrance of the studio.

“Brother Jie!” Su Manman greeted him as soon as he picked up her call.

“You should have seen the posts on the internet. I’m reminding you not to act rashly. If the media asks you about this, just deny it. Thankfully, Shi Hanchu has worked with you before. I’ll get him to stand up for you. After all… Shi Hanchu was once Jiang Mingzhu’s best friend!”

Tu Jie didn’t panic at all. He sounded like he had a strategy in mind.

“I got it!” Su Manman replied. She had never doubted Tu Jie’s capabilities.

“This isn’t a big deal. I was just worried about what you’re thinking when you didn’t pick up the call. Remember, don’t let this matter affect your acting. Your hard work is more important than these rumors!” Tu Jie comforted Su Manman. “Just focus on filming. Leave everything else to me!”

This was why Su Manman only wanted Tu Jie to be her manager, no one else.

All these years, in the entertainment industry, Tu Jie was the only manager… who only asked the artist to focus on her work. He would take care of everything else and never let the artist worry too much.

“I know, Brother Jie. I believe you!” Su Manman replied sincerely.

Tu Jie thought he had to console Su Manman a bit more about this matter, but he hadn’t expected her to reply so quickly.

This was comforting for Tu Jie.

After hanging up the call, Su Manman checked the online post seriously. It said Su Manman imitated Jiang Mingzhu’s behavior. Some parts described her behavior on the set of “The Olden Days,” while the rest of the post recounted how she had behaved during the filming of “The Great Battle of House of Horror”. Some were muffled and others clear…
