Chapter 13 Late Night Script Discussion

After years of development, Huairou Film and Television City now boasts a complete range of supporting facilities.

It includes all kinds of restaurants, and you can find flavors from all over the country here.

In the afternoon, after finishing all the filming, Lin Zixuan did not return to the hotel, but instead found a Hunan restaurant near the hotel and asked for a small private room.

Then I sent a message to Xu Qing, giving her the restaurant's address and the private room information.

He quickly received Xu Qing's reply: "Received. I'll go back and remove my makeup first. I'll be there in half an hour."

He made a phone call, and to his surprise, the other party's ringtone was "Autumn Never Returns." It seems that the song is popular, but the singer isn't.

In fact, during his two days on set, he had heard that many people had set their phone ringtones to "Autumn Never Returns," "Wait a Minute," and "Damn Tenderness," and he guessed that quite a few had downloaded them as their custom ringtones as well.

But no one recognized him as the singer of this song, which really left him speechless.

He decided that once the TV series was finished filming and he received the first month's revenue from the ringtone sales, he would immediately go back and find someone to film the music videos for the three songs, upload them to various video websites, and increase his exposure.

The call was answered quickly, and a gentle, pleasant voice came through, "Little Zixuan, what's wrong? You couldn't wait?"

"Senior, no rush. I called to ask if you have any dietary restrictions."

"It's okay, I don't have any dietary restrictions."

"Do you want me to come pick you up?"

"No need, I know this restaurant. Just wait here quietly."

. . . . . .

It was said to be half an hour, but it actually took almost an hour before Xu Qing, wearing sunglasses, was led into the private room by a waiter.

After entering the private room, she took off her sunglasses and shawl, revealing a long blue dress underneath. The silk fabric clung to her full, delicate body, outlining her graceful curves.

Her fair complexion, bright red lips, alluring eyes, and long, straight black hair all exude an irresistible charm.

Pearl earrings adorned her hair, gleaming softly under the light, accentuating her slender neck like a swan, and revealing her beautiful collarbone.

It's clear that Xu Qing didn't just remove her makeup after returning to the hotel; she dressed up carefully and still carried the fresh scent of a recent shower.

Lin Zixuan immediately cast the Moon Goddess Arrow spell, the effectiveness of which was unknown. At the same time, he stood up, pulled out a seat for Xu Qing, and offered her heartfelt praise, "Senior, you are so beautiful."

"Thank you for the compliment, you're handsome too."

Lin Zixuan handed the menu to Xu Qing and asked if she needed anything else. After looking at it, Xu Qing added a vegetable dish.

Lin Zixuan pressed the service button, handed the menu to the waiter, and notified the kitchen to serve the food.

While waiting for the food, Lin Zixuan opened a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for each of them, and took the initiative to speak, "Senior, you must be exhausted after filming all day?"

Xu Qing picked up her wine glass and took a sip. "Not tired. After all, 'Men's Bottom Line' is a modern urban drama, and there was plenty of time for filming. Moreover, most of the scenes were filmed in the studio."

Unlike action scenes or period dramas, which are much more demanding.

If it's a period action film, then it's truly both tough and exhausting.

"Like 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'?"

"Yes, filming 'Swordsman' was much harder than it is now. We had to get up very early every day to do our makeup, and we had to be suspended by wires during filming. Our bodies were covered in bruises, and we could even get injured if we weren't careful."

"Senior, although it was tough, you left behind the classic character of Ren Yingying that everyone loves."

He raised his glass, "Senior, let's drink to the classic role of Ren Yingying that you contributed."

Xu Qing raised her glass and clinked it with his. "Yes, speaking of which, the hard work back then did pay off. But does Jin Yong's 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' really have as many problems as you say?"

"In fact, the renowned professor Dai Jinghua once commented on Jin Yong's novels in this way: she said that all the protagonists in Jin Yong's works 'recognize the enemy as their father,' which is a presentation of the historical structure and experience of the Xiangjiang region..."

"To put it another way, *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer* actually depicts Xiangjiang society, with the major sects representing the Xiangjiang authorities at the time, and the Sun Moon Divine Sect representing the underworld..."

Xu Qing picked up her wine glass and clinked it against Lin Zixuan's. "What you just said seems to make sense, but I've never thought about it this way before. Why do you have a different perspective from us?"

"When I was a kid, I was the same way. When I read books, I would always put myself in the protagonist's shoes and follow the plot from the protagonist's perspective."

But later, after reading more books and broadening my horizons, especially after demystifying Xiangjiang, I discovered many things I hadn't noticed before.

"Demystifying Xiangjiang?"

"Yes, we used to have a biased view of Hong Kong, thinking that since they were more developed than us, everything they did was better than ours."

However, as our country grows stronger and the mainland develops rapidly, we should naturally view them with an equal perspective.

"Wow, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Just then, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the food.

Steamed fish head with chopped chili, stir-fried pork with chili, spicy blood curd, beef tripe, stir-fried chestnuts with bok choy, stir-fried yam, water spinach, and stewed pear soup with snow frog.

The two chatted and ate in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and their conversation gradually shifted from acting to everyday life.

Xu Qing has a great personality, speaks with tact, has a pleasant voice, and often looks at Lin Zixuan with adoring, watery eyes.

Soon, Lin Zixuan was distracted and unable to resist. After clinking glasses with Xu Qing again, he couldn't help but secretly kiss Xu Qing's pretty face.

"I'm sorry, senior, you're so beautiful, I couldn't resist."

Xu Qing glanced at him coquettishly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "Really? You have such a sweet tongue."

Seeing this, Lin Zixuan grew bolder, "Senior, how do you know my lips are sweet if you haven't even tasted them?"

"Isn't that right?"

"I think you have a sweeter tongue."

"Would you like to try some?"

Lin Zixuan could no longer resist. He stood up, picked up Xu Qing, and kissed her on those rosy lips.

Xu Qing had no intention of pushing him away at all; instead, she wrapped her arms around him and responded passionately.

After a long while, their lips parted, and Xu Qing shyly buried her head in Lin Zixuan's arms.

Lin Zixuan stroked her hair. "Senior, I can't hold back anymore. Let's go back to the hotel?"

A barely audible voice came, "Okay."

Lin Zixuan was overjoyed and immediately called the waiter to pay the bill before returning to the hotel. However, to avoid being seen, the two still kept a certain distance from each other.

Although they stayed in the same hotel, their roles in the film crew were vastly different, and their treatment naturally varied greatly.

Xu Qing stayed in a business suite on the top floor of the hotel, while Lin Zixuan stayed in a regular single room on a regular floor.

Upon arriving at the hotel and taking the elevator, Xu Qing pressed the button for their floor and softly said a room number, "I'll go up first, you come over later, and we'll discuss the script together."

Lin Zixuan understood immediately. He returned to his room, quickly took a shower, took the elevator to the top floor of the hotel, and found Xu Qing's room number.

Finding the door ajar, Lin Zixuan pushed it open and slipped inside.

Xu Qing, who was sitting on the living room sofa, saw Lin Zixuan come in, giggled, happily got up, threw herself into his arms, and gave him a sweet kiss.

"Little brother Zixuan, you came so fast!"

"Since my senior has given the order, I will naturally do my best."

"You're so sweet-talking! What are we waiting for? Love me!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Lin Zixuan picked up Xu Qing and carried her towards the bedroom, leaving behind a trail of loot scattered on the floor.

A cheerful and sweet song began to play.
