Chapter 166 Shield

Considering the filming progress of the crew, Du Sheng found director Yang Tao and informed him of Gao Yuanyuan's situation.

Yang Tao was very considerate and decided to let Gao Yuanyuan take a day off and not arrange any scenes for her today.

But the fact that Gao Yuanyuan left the set crying could not be concealed.

When the crew was back in action, the news that a princess from the capital had robbed her of her man had already spread like wildfire.

It seems that some things can only deceive oneself.

The next morning, after Du Sheng finished his breakfast, he went to the dressing room with Xu Jinjiang.

As soon as I walked out of the cafeteria, I ran into Gao Yuanyuan.

She had obvious dark circles and bloodshot eyes, and looked terrible, obviously having not slept all night.

"Yuanyuan, why don't you continue to rest today."

Du Sheng said with a hint of concern.

It's not very effective to force the photo to be taken in this way, and it's just laborious and time-consuming.

Gao Yuanyuan knew what Du Sheng meant and shook her head slightly.
"Thank you, but no thanks. Today we're filming the dark side of Zhou Zhiruo. I should be able to do it."

Her main reason was that she didn't want to delay the progress of the crew.

After all, one move affects the whole body.

Xu Jinjiang, who was passing by, shook his head, knowing that it would be difficult to convince this stubborn girl.

"There are too many difficulties in life. You still have to learn to grow in adversity."

"Teacher Xu is indeed a master of philosophy. What he said is very meaningful."

Du Sheng stopped persuading her and went into the dressing room.

Lai Shuiqing waved at him and arranged:

"Ah Sheng, let's make some adjustments today and start by filming you and Yin Li's 'Parting of Life and Death'."

"Yuanyuan is not in a good mood today, so we won't be filming your wedding scenes for the next few days. We'll be doing something else."

He looked at Gao Yuanyuan who came in, thought for a moment and said:

"Yuanyuan, go to the car and rest for a while. We will shoot the 'Obsession' scene this afternoon."

The gist of this scene is that Zhou Zhiruo was hurt by love, and in a fit of anger she went astray, turning from her original innocence and kindness into something sinister and vicious.

Gao Yuanyuan's current situation is indeed consistent with the character's status.

Du Sheng twitched his lips and said:
"Director Lai is indeed an expert in relationships. He has applied what he has learned to the extreme, even breaking up is not spared!"

"Haha, aren't you going to Hong Kong in a few days? This is just to move the plot forward for you."

Lai Shuiqing refused to admit it and directly used the other party as a shield.

Du Sheng was just joking and said it doesn't matter what you shoot.

But it's better to postpone it.

It is indeed not appropriate for Gao Yuanyuan to shoot such a festive wedding scene in her current state. It would be beneficial for everyone to calm down for a few days.

Moreover, the entire crew knew that Du Sheng was about to participate in the "Wulin" finals, so some scheduling of roles was necessary.

Of course Gao Yuanyuan would not refute. She weakly thanked Director Lai and returned to the car to rest.

Lai Shuiqing is indeed a master at filming adapted dramas. Although he borrowed some emotional elements from Gao Yuanyuan, the shooting state was quite consistent and the progress was pretty good.

……

That night, Chen Xiuli finished filming her last scene on the crew.

Although the character Ji Xiaofu does not have many scenes, she runs through the entire plot.

This was Chen Xiuli’s second time joining the crew, and the filming was only completed now.

Before leaving, Du Sheng prepared a red envelope for her on behalf of the crew as encouragement and gratitude.

Chen Xiuli simply took out the money and treated everyone to a meal.

The scenes that Du Sheng was responsible for were basically finished, so he also went to join in the fun.

Chen Xiuli invited everyone to a restaurant near the film and television city.

This place is not only a gathering place for people who have moved to Beijing from nearby cities, but is also loved by everyone because of its rich variety of food and affordable prices.

The vehicle slowly drove into the busy street and finally stopped in front of Le Sheng Restaurant.

This restaurant is doing a booming business, with diners filling the interior and exterior.

Du Sheng walked through the bustling store and went straight to the private room on the third floor.

Chen Xiuli had been waiting here for a long time and had booked a private room for everyone to gather together.

When I walked into the private room, I found that several actresses including Chen Xiuli, Bao Yilin, Gao Yuanyuan, Lin Jing and Chen Zihan had already arrived.

In addition, there are three male actors: Shi Xiaolong, Liu Hengyu and Han Huoyi.

Seeing Du Sheng coming in, Chen Xiuli immediately greeted him warmly:

"Ah Sheng is finally here. I thought you were going to stand me up!"

Du Sheng said with a hint of apology:

"Something happened on the crew's side and delayed us."

Those who came to the party were actors and crew members who had no filming tasks in the evening.

The scenes shot by the crew tonight are mainly concentrated in the Prince of Ruyang's Mansion, where Zhao Min kills one person to warn the rest, and the characters involved include Chen Youliang, Fan Yao, the Seventh Prince, etc.

Du Sheng walked into the box and saw beautiful women, each with their own unique features. He couldn't help but admire:
"The face of the Emei master sister is indeed extraordinary. Almost all the beauties in the crew are here."

Although this was just a polite remark, it made the beauties giggle.

They knew it was a joke, but it made the atmosphere more relaxed.

However, the few men who came before were still a little restrained.

Han Huoyi and Liu Hengyu didn't know if they had lovely wives at home, so they didn't talk much.

As Shi Xiaolong is still young, he seems a little reserved.

Before Du Sheng arrived, the atmosphere in the private room was relatively dull, with mostly whispers between girlfriends.

Du Sheng's arrival was like a fresh breeze that blew away the previous depression.

Chen Xiuli kindly pulled Du Sheng to sit next to her, then called the waiter to start serving the food.

Sitting on the other side of Du Sheng was Gao Yuanyuan. But today she was still a little depressed, with slightly red and swollen eyes, looking like she had been crying.

When I saw him coming, I just responded simply.

Du Sheng didn't care too much. When the food and wine were served, he picked up his glass and chatted and drank with everyone.

After a few beers, the atmosphere at the table became lively.

Except for Shi Xiaolong, everyone drank some wine and their relationships became much closer.

Even Han Huoyi, who was usually taciturn, started to talk more.

Chen Xiuli toasted Du Sheng and said with a smile:

"Ah Sheng, I was able to play Ji Xiaofu this time, thanks to your recommendation.

If you come to Nanyang in the future, if you need any help, just ask!"

What she said was indeed correct. Lai Shuiqing's invitation to her was originally pending and no notice had been issued yet.

She was also satisfied with the role of Ji Xiaofu. Lai Shuiqing said that this was proposed by Du Sheng later.

Liu Hengyu and Bao Yilin had also heard the relevant rumors and looked at Chen Xiuli with envy.

They have no resources in the circle and have a very hard time getting around. It would be great if they had someone to give them support like the other person.

Du Sheng just shook his head and smiled, jokingly saying:
"Saying you're helping is too polite. If there are any beauties in Nanyang, just introduce a few to me.

I just like to appreciate the various customs of different places and improve my literacy and sentiments. "

His humorous and self-deprecating answer cleverly avoided a topic that was quite sensitive to everyone.

Chen Xiuli laughed even more happily after hearing this, and gently hit Du Sheng's arm, saying coquettishly:
"There are so many beauties in the box, don't you like any of them?"

"Haha, I'm just afraid of being rejected by you. How embarrassing!"

Du Sheng is young and handsome. He is also a member of the capital side. He has a calm and confident temperament that makes people want to get close to him.

Inevitably, many people's topics turned to him.

"Ah Sheng, I heard that you will be participating in the finals of "Wulin" the day after tomorrow, right? You're off to a great start!"

"It's a pity that Hong Kong is too far away, so I couldn't go there in person to support and feel the fighting atmosphere."

"Didn't you read the newspaper? I heard that the finals of "Wulin" will be broadcast live on Yangshi Channel 5. It's been spread a long time ago."

"Really? That's Yangshiguanfang Sports Channel. That's awesome!"

"Even if you don't have time, you have to ask for leave to see Brother Sheng's sweeping style!"

During the dinner, several beauties kept glancing at him and joking.

After all, there are not many opportunities to spend time together like this, and if you are ambitious, you won’t miss it.

In the future, can you get more acting opportunities and more connections? Sometimes, that's how you get them.

Du Sheng could see what everyone meant. After all, he came here on behalf of the crew, and the popularity of the "Wulin" finals was there, so they were all smart people.

However, he was not a heavy drinker. Seeing that the women had almost finished drinking, he took the initiative to suggest that they leave.

Everyone agreed readily, except Gao Yuanyuan who was still drinking alone.

The beer she drank tonight was not very strong, but she had already drunk 3 bottles and hardly ate any food.

This is obviously a way of drowning one's sorrows in alcohol.

Du Sheng and Bao Yilin both advised her, but it was understandable that she was in a bad mood.

Chen Xiuli had naturally heard about Gao Yuanyuan's broken heart, and after thinking for a while she suggested:

"Everyone is full now, how about we go sing karaoke?"

Du Sheng ate most of it but didn't refuse.

Han Huoyi did not participate because he had children at home.

Shi Xiaolong said that it was an age issue:

"Sister Xiuli, my assistant is still out, so I won't participate."

It was late at night and it was really not appropriate for them to stay any longer.

The crowd no longer tried to keep him.

Du Sheng considerately paid the bill and removed the beer, and Gao Yuanyuan, who was no longer drunk, stopped drinking.

Chen Xiuli, who wanted to pay the bill, just smiled and didn't bother to be polite with him.

Everyone chose to walk to the nearby Baoledi Wholesale Store.

After all, it is only a few hundred meters away and can be reached in a leisurely stroll.

Not long after she went out, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly felt unwell, perhaps because she had been hit by a cold wind. She squatted down and vomited in a trash can on the side of the road.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can hardly hide her embarrassment when she vomits.

Gao Yuanyuan's tears and snot flowed together, accompanied by the smell of alcohol, and the scene was quite embarrassing.

Chen Xiuli and Gao Yuanyuan have a close relationship in the crew, perhaps because they both have experienced emotional twists and turns.

She quickly stepped forward to support her, and gently stroked Gao Yuanyuan's back with her palm to relieve her pain.

Looking around, Chen Xiuli found that everyone else was embarrassed and did not move forward, and some even deliberately kept their distance.

Even Du Sheng was nowhere to be seen.

Just when she was in trouble because she was unable to support herself, Du Sheng suddenly extended a helping hand in time.

"Give her a face mask first, and then give her something to sober her up."

Du Sheng handed over a warm towel and a box of hangover medicine.

Only then did Chen Xiuli realize that the other party had just gone to buy something instead of abandoning her.

This attentiveness and consideration warmed her heart and gave her a better impression of Du Sheng.

With the help of Chen Xiuli, Gao Yuanyuan gradually regained consciousness after taking the medicine.

She thanked him, took the towel and wiped herself gently, then rinsed her mouth with water, and her mood became much calmer.

"Thank you."

When Gao Yuanyuan learned that these things were bought by Du Sheng, she turned her head and thanked him weakly.
