CFJTM Chapter 48. An angry Sun Xuan’s retribution & Weibo fans have increased

Bai Xuege was depressed all night. When filming the next day, he was finally in a better mood. Only feeling a little embarrassed when in front of Shen Qingshu again.

Shen Qingshu went to him twice and found that he was still in an awkward state. So he decided to give him more time.

It took two or three days. It was not until Zhou Jianming sent Shen Qingshu the shooting schedule for the next few days that Shen Qingshu found that Su Luo hadn’t been filming for these three days.

However, that wasn’t the key point. The key point is that there still weren’t any of her scenes on the new schedule either. Not only are there no scenes for her, but even Sun Xuan’s amount is pitiful.

“What’s going on?” Shen Qingshu was surprised.

“Hai,” Zhou Jianming explained, “Isn’t it that our young miss Su has lost her temper again. She thinks that since the director doesn’t want her to film for a while, she won’t film and so she went on strike.”

“What about Sun Xuan?”

“He was recommended by Su Luo. The reason Su Luo caused so much trouble was for him. So director Li decided that since Su Luo was working against him now, he also deleted some of Sun Xuan’s scenes.”

When Zhou Jianming said this, he also explained, “The original book altogether was only 300,000 words. When the screenwriter wrote the script, he added a lot of plots that didn’t exist in the original, otherwise how can we get together 30 episodes? Now that Su Luo made such a fuss, director Li was angry and asked the screenwriter to delete all the plots of the original script added to Sun Xuan’s role. Sun Xuan will now be shooting according to the original work, so Sun Xuan’s scenes now are naturally less.”

“And Sun Xuan has no problem with this?”

Zhou Jianming chuckled. “I don’t know whether his agent didn’t pay attention or they wanted to add more scenes since the beginning, so they didn’t write the number of scenes with the crew into the contract at the beginning. The number is uncertain, so isn’t everything decided by the director and screenwriter?”

Shen Qingshu heard the words and couldn’t help laughing, “This is very good. He was the one who made the most trouble before. Now he’s also the one who has been cut the most. Retribution.”

“Isn’t it? All right, I’m going back. Remember to rest early.”

“Yes.”

Shen Qingshu walked him out and excitedly told Han Cheng about the news.

Han Cheng listened to his gloating tone and replied with a smile, “Are you delighted?”

“Of course, it’s called stealing chicken only to lose the rice too. Previously they thought they were so smart. Doesn’t he want to rob my role and add more to himself? Now good, his role is lost in return.”

“That’s true. If Bai Xuege hadn’t helped you at that time, you would have suffered.”

Speaking of this, Shen Qingshu said, “I told Bai Xuege yesterday that I’m not his fan and he seemed a little hurt.”

Han Cheng laughed in an instant, “How can it be a little? It’s seriously hurt! He came to me last night to cry with his head in his arms.”

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ?

“Hold his head and cry?”

“Yes, he thought I liked you, but you said you didn’t like anyone now, so he thought I should be very depressed and came to cry with me.”

Shen Qingshu couldn’t laugh or cry. “How could he have this illusion?”

“Probably because you said I was your driver and he knew my identity, so he imagined a scenario. In order to pursue you, I degraded my body, hid my identity to be a driver. All to get close to you.”

Shen Qingshu: … Indeed it sounded like Bai Xuege!

“Didn’t you tell him it was false?”

“Am I such a cruel person? I’m so kind. Of course I will cooperate with his performance.”

Shen Qingshu: ” … So you cried last night?”

“How is that possible?”

I crusaded against you with him, Han Cheng thought.

It’s not easy, finally there is someone who can complain about Shen Qingshu with him and communicate about how much of a scumbag he is. He finally has a little partner to fight against the enemy.

[Shen Qingshu victim alliance] was officially born last night!

Of course, Shen Qingshu didn’t know his inner thoughts. He just said, “Let me tell you. I haven’t seen you cry yet. If you cry one day, remember to call me.”

Han Cheng raised his eyebrows. “Why? To let you watch the excitement?”

“What are you thinking? Am I such a cruel man?”

“That’s exactly my impression of you.” Han Cheng said with satisfaction.

“Of course I won’t watch the excitement. I’ll only record a small video with my mobile phone. Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha. This way it’s easier for us to go back and watch it many times.

Han Cheng: …

Of course you are not such a cruel person, because you are not human at all!

Are you Han Yu’s brother?

It’s fine if you don’t learn, why learn this?!

Han Cheng was so angry with him, “You’re finished.”

Shen Qingshu: “Oh?”

“Since you want to record a small video, don’t blame me for being rude.” Han Cheng finished and began to recite.

Shen Qingshu was caught off guard and screamed instantly when he heard the shameful content he wrote.

Hearing his screams, Han Cheng could guess that he was covering his ears with his hands now. Making him recite more and more affectionately.

Shen Qingshu couldn’t stand it anymore and hung up the voice call directly.

I’m so angry. It’s always like this, he starts reciting. Why doesn’t he also have reciting skills to deal with Han Cheng?

He’s too pitiful!

Shen Qingshu sighed depressed, and sent a “good night” to Han Cheng. Then got out of bed and went to take a bath.

On the other side, Sun Xuan looked at the new schedule with an angry face.

His agent advised him, “It’s still necessary for Su Luo to come forward. Go and persuade her. She’s popular so she doesn’t care, but you can’t afford this. Where can you find another young and super popular protagonist like Bai Xuege? The drama can be seen to be popular with the naked eye. At this time, there’s only so much left of your scenes to delete. The current amount won’t lead to a rise in your popularity at all. Do you want that outcome? I don’t want it even if you want it!”

Sun Xuan listened, his hand gripping the schedule tighter and tighter.

This is indeed the best resource for him. With Bai Xuege, the drama naturally did not have to worry about popularity. The best point is that he is still young. Many netizens simply treat him as a brother and son and will not find Su Gan1 in him, let alone become his girlfriend fans. So these people are likely to target other actors in the play.

Sun Xuan feels confident that Shen Qingshu will not pose any threat to him. He doesn’t think Shen Qingshu is more handsome than him, just like he never feels worse than Bai Xuege and Shen Qingshu.

He planned everything well, but there was something wrong with Su Luo.

Sun Xuan unconsciously resented Su Luo. If she wasn’t so capricious, how could director Li do this?

She’s already popular, so why doesn’t she think about him? Too selfish!

Sun Xuan picked up his scedule, went out of the door and went to Su Luo’s room.

When Shen Qingshu saw Su Luo again, it was two days later. He looked at Zhou Jianming in confusion, “Isn’t she on strike?”

Zhou Jianming approached him and explained, “She talked with director Li and the screenwriter for Sun Xuan. She is willing to cooperate with the crew to film, in return asking the crew to add back Sun Xuan’s part.”

“Did director Li agree?”

“How can he? She orders to shoot and add. Does director Li have no temper? The group of people fought all night. Finally, Su Luo promised not to give the crew any more trouble in the future. Director Li said that he could restore half of Sun Xuan’s scenes and delete the rest as a lesson. After all, someone had to pay for her threatening the crew these days.”

“Director Li really knows to hit where it hurts most. To beat the snake, you must strike seven inches below the head².” Shen Qingshu sighed.

“Right?”

“But I have a question.” Shen Qingshu wondered, “Sun Xuan’s scenes aren’t composed of only him. Now his part has become one-third less. Isn’t the actor who was scheduled to film with him also invisible? What about them?”

“Good question. That’s another thing I want to tell you today.”

Shen Qingshu looks at him curiously.

Zhou Jianming whispered: “When I first came here, I met Qiao Ying’s agent. Most of his scenes were with Sun Xuan, so after knowing that the crew deleted Sun Xuan’s play, he went to the screenwriter and director. The screenwriter reassured him that Qiao Ying’s scenes would not lessen. Director Li was just dissatisfied with Su Luo and Sun Xuan’s actions and did not intend to implicate others.”

“So?”

“What do you think?” Zhou Jianming looked at him. “Since Qiao Ying’s play will not be fewer, it means that the original part of the script is still retained, but Sun Xuan is not allowed to act, so naturally someone else should take his place.”

Shen Qingshu understood, “Me or Bai Xuege?”

“Qiao Ying’s agent thinks it’s you. Bai Xuege’s character is already full and Su Luo will certainly not accept the increase of Bai Xuege and Qiao Ying’s parts. Isn’t this a disguised weakening of her position as the female lead? In addition, book fans certainly don’t want to see Bai Xuege and Qiao Ying interact crazily, so you’re the most likely.”

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

Such a good outcome?!

Zhou Jianming carefully helped him analyse, “Your current scenes, plus dozens of other scenes, can also be adjusted. Moreover, you originally had opponent scenes with Qiao Ying and it’s not abrupt to add more to you. In addition, your acting skills are good and director Li has a good impression of you. Your scenes have already been advanced several times. If some more is added now, it won’t exceed the contract you signed.”

“So I also think it’s probably you.”

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

Really? Is it so cool? Sun Xuan’s ambition of adding drama is now going to him?!

And it was originally Sun Xuan’s scenes!

Ha ha ha ha ha, Shen Qingshu almost laughed out loud. Sun Xuan, you have today!

Are you shocked, pleasantly surprised or shocked into happiness?

I can’t say enough thank you’s for your kindness, I wish you and Su Luo long lasting love and grow old together!

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Shen Qingshu patted Zhou Jianming on the shoulder. “If this is true, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“This is simple to confirm. In less than three days, the results will come out.”

“Then I’ll look forward to it.” Shen Qingshu said cheerfully.

Facts proved that Zhou Jianming and Qiao Ying’s agent guessed correctly. The next night, Zhou Jianming brought this good news to Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu looked at him in surprise, “It’s really for me.”

“I guessed it was you, sure enough.”

Shen Qingshu immediately picked up his mobile phone and opened the food app. “What do you want to eat, I’ll treat you.”

“No need” Zhou Jianming waved his hand. “You just need to memorise the new lines. Don’t worry about treating me. When you finish, we’ll have a good meal together.”

“Okay.” Shen Qingshu didn’t force him either.

He saw Zhou Jianming off, jumped on the bed happily several times, took out his mobile phone and sent a video request to Han Cheng.

Han Cheng was drinking with Yin Mingyao and them when he suddenly saw that his mobile phone rang. It was Shen Qingshu’s video invitation. He stood up and found a quiet place to pick it up.

“What’s the matter?”

“I have good news.” Shen Qingshu said happily.

“What good news makes you so happy? Won the lottery?”

“Not as good as that. Sun Xuan’s part of the play has been deleted, ha ha ha ha.”

“Haven’t you mentioned this before? Is it better to say happy things three times?”

“Of course not. That was the prelude. Now the follow-up has come. I’ll play his deleted scenes. Ha ha ha ha, he and Su Luo must be angry!”

Han Cheng didn’t expect it to turn out like this, “Tsk, killing people hearts.”³

“That’s why it’s pleasant good news ~”

“That’s true. Congratulations.”

Shen Qingshu looked at him with a smile, “It’s a pity you’re not here, otherwise I’d let you work out completely tonight.”

Han Cheng: …

“Do you believe I will drive your crew now?”

Shen Qingshu laughed louder in an instant. “Won’t you? Didn’t I starve you before?”

“Don’t carelessly seduce me with such words, okay?”

“I know, but I’m really happy now. I’m sure I will have a good sleep tonight.”

“As if you didn’t sleep well everyday before?”

“That’s true.” Shen Qingshu scratched his head and talked to him a while more. Then he hung up the phone reluctantly.

Han Cheng put away his mobile phone and walked back to his seat. He heard Yin Mingyao joking, “Shen didi?”

“Yes.”

“Speaking of, why haven’t you taken your didi out to play recently?”

“He went to film.” Han Cheng said, “Wait until he’s finished.”

Yin Mingyao, Wu Yang and Zhou Jinming were shocked, “Filming?”

“Yes, he wants to be an actor.”

“Actor?”

Han Cheng nodded.

“So what he said here that day is true?”

“Yes.”

“But don’t you want him to?” Wu Yang asked.

“I don’t want him to, but I can’t force him to change his goals.”

“Then you are quite generous.” Wu Yang sighed, “if I have such a good, sweet and good-looking boyfriend, I wouldn’t want him to go into the entertainment industry. It’s too easy for an accident to happen.”

Han Cheng looked up at him, “That’s why you don’t have a boyfriend like him.”

Wu Yang: … Buddy, I’m heartbroken!

Wu Yang glared at him angrily and bowed his head to drink.

After Sun Xuan heard that Shen Qingshu was going to take over his deleted scenes, his whole person was angry, “Why? He is a newcomer and he already has a lot of scenes. Why does he still rob my scenes!”

Su Luo was also unconvinced. “Is director Li crazy?”

Su Luo’s agent hurriedly advised her, “Well, it’s just a dozen plays. If he wants them, let him take them. Su Luo, don’t get involved.”

“You say that so carelessly. Isn’t it because the scenes robbed weren’t yours?” Sun Xuan was dissatisfied.

Su Luo’s agent was more dissatisfied than him. “If you didn’t insist on adding more scenes at the beginning, how could there be today? Can’t you tell? Director Li was angry because he saw you messing around in the crew, so he gave your scenes to Shen Qingshu. If you make trouble again, it’s a problem of whether you can keep your current role.”

“Me? How is director Li aiming at me? It’s obviously Su Luo who deliberately went on strike and fought with him a few days ago that made him unhappy. Even  implicating me. It’s got nothing to do with me!”

Su Luo’s agent couldn’t believe it. He looked at Su Luo. “Look, look, you helped him so much and look what happened? In the end, he not only didn’t appreciate it, but also thought you implicated him!”

“That’s not what I meant.” Sun Xuan explained, “I’m just telling the truth.”

“Enough!” Su Luo shouted.

She looked between her boyfriend and her agent, then got up and walked out the door.

“Xiao Luo.” Sun Xuan called after her.

Su Luos agent sneered, “Memorise your lines well. You haven’t memorised your current lines well and you still want to add more scenes? You really dream too fancifully. Let me tell you Sun Xuan, if you do this again, it’s hard to say whether you can stay or not!”

“All right.” Su Luo looked back at her agent. “You don’t have to say any more.”

“I’m doing this for you!” The agent said angrily, “isn’t it for you that I am here now, worrying about his useless matters?”

Su Luo’s eyes were stinging and she went out of Sun Xuan’s room feeling uncomfortable and wronged.

Sun Xuan watched her leave, filled with resentment and anger.

They had a quarrel. Although they made up again a few days later, there was a gap in their hearts. Sun Xuan blamed her for not helping him and Su Luo blamed him for not understanding her. Therefore, they both stopped acting out and the crew finally calmed down.

Two weeks later, the editing of the first clip of the film was completed and the official blog released this clip at 12 o’clock – “the first clip of the film [Southern Rose] came out. The warmest and sweetest love of this winter ~”

Book fans and actor fans can’t wait to click in and then they are conquered by the aesthetically pleasing sight.

Director Li is obviously skilled in the shooting style of the campus romance drama. The 50 second clip is fresh like the morning dew without a trace of insincerity. It will only make people feel the beauty of the ignorant love between boys and girls.

Among them, Bai Xuege has the most scenes. He is in his adolescence, which perfectly conforms to the image of the male lead Jiang Nan. Su Luo also has many scenes, after all, she is a female lead. As long as she is willing to be quiet, the crew is still very happy to treat her well.

Next in the number of shots is Shen Qingshu.

Whether or not it’s because Shen Qingshu is good at acting or the director is good at shooting. The scenes of Shen Qingshu looking back along the roses to see Li Xiwei and smiling at her in the soft sunlight hit the hearts of countless girls in an instant. Making many people enthusiastically discuss him after watching the clip.

“Who is Shen Qingshu? He’s so handsome! Especially the scene when he turns back against the rose bushes, isn’t it beautiful!”

“It’s so romantic. I’ve taken a screenshot. It’s so beautiful!”

“Is this a new actor? I haven’t heard of him before.”

“Oh, my gege’s eyes are so gentle. I’m drowning in my gege’s eyes.”

“It’s so handsome. Shen Qingshu is also so handsome!”

“Ah ah ah, I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t seen such a high quality drama in a long time and the director is really skilled in shooting. The scene is great!”

“Ask when it will be broadcast? GKD please⁴ , the children are starving.”

“So is Shen Qingshu really a newcomer? Are there any fans who can sell me Amway⁵? I want to eat Amway!”

“Upstairs + 1.”

“+1。”

“Waiting for Amway.”

Seeing this, Xiao Li immediately put on his vest and went to sell Amway for Shen Qingshu.

Some netizens who ate Amway passed it on and sent the Amway they had just eaten to the forum. Shouting, “Shen Qingshu, the second male in [Southern Rose], is really handsome! Don’t pass it by and come to see the handsome guy!”

Many book fans who watched the clip quickly poured in and said, “Yes, yes, what a surprise!”

“I was worried when the costume photo came out that it was all fake. Now I’ve seen the video. My gege is too handsome!”

“Ha ha ha ha, I’m different. After seeing the costume photos, I went to my gege’s weibo and found that he was genuinely so handsome. I paid attention to him immediately.”

“I never dreamed that Meng ge would be played by such a suitable actor.”

“Stop it, Jia fans are already crying. Why is Jiajia the only one that isn’t handsome?”

——Qiu Jia, the third male lead played by Sun Xuan.

Sun Xuan’s navy immediately retorted: “Obviously, Sun Xuan is also very handsome and I like Qiu Jia very much.”

It’s just that everyone ignored this response with tacit understanding and continued to discuss Shen Qingshu’s appearance and role.

Sun Xuan was irritable when he checked his weibo fans. He was surprised to find, “They have increased!”

He said excitedly, “By 20,000.”

The agent was also surprised, “it seems that the response is good. After a short time, there are already 20,000 fans.”

“Yes.”

Sun Xuan proudly went to search Shen Qingshu’s weibo. As soon as he opened it, he almost exploded. How could he rise! And by 100,000 fans! After a minute!

Sun Xuan was so angry that he immediately threw down his mobile phone. “A group of blind people, wait for the drama to be released, to have their faces slapped.”

His agent quickly reassured, “Yes, yes.”

Shen Qingshu looked at his constantly changing number of fans and found that his fans are still rising and have not yet plateaued.

He went to the forum again. The situation was good and basically all positive.

Shen Qingshu was relieved and Zhou Jianming was pleasantly surprised. “This is good. And only a clip of [Southern Rose] has been released. When the drama is broadcast, you can certainly be even more popular.”

“I think so too.” Shen Qingshu is not modest at all.

“Continue to work hard!”

“Yes.”

The publicity and distribution personnel of the crew saw that both Book fans and actor fans praised the first clip, so they were relieved and boldly brought a hot search.⁶

—

Yan Jiayu is having dinner with his friends. In the middle of the meal, everyone has almost finished eating. They were chatting and playing on their mobile phones.

The girl sitting next to him was brushing her weibo. When she saw the hot search [Southern Rose, Bai Xuege], she clicked in.

The more the girls watched the 50 second clip, the more they liked it. They couldn’t help but praise it with several words and sighed, “It’s amazing!”

The girl next to her came over and took a look. She happened to see the picture of Shen Qingshu turning back among the roses. Her eyes widened in an instant. “Who is this? He’s so beautiful. This scene is beautiful, what drama is this? I also want to watch it.”

“It’s not released yet. This is just a teaser clip. As for this didi, it seems that his name is Shen Qingshu?” The girl replied, “Let me show you. That’s what I just saw in the title.”

Yan Jiayu heard the key words and looked at her suspiciously, “Shen Qingshu?”

“Yes,” the girl looked at him, “What’s the matter, Jiayu ge? Do you know Shen Qingshu?”

“Let me see.” Yan Jiayu stretched out his hand.
