"Director Lu, what do you think? Will Fu Shan nail it in one take for the next scene?"
Seeing how Lu Li, who was usually so strict, was full of praise for Fu Shan, Yuan Fei, the cameraman beside him, couldn't help but chuckle.
Hearing this, Lu Li didn't even need to think before immediately replying, "Do I even need to ask? Fu Shan will definitely nail it in one take. When has Fu Shan ever needed more than one take during previous shoots?"
This was the reason why Lu Li, who had originally harbored deep doubts about whether Fu Shan could handle the role of Xu Zeyan, the male lead, was now so sure.
Up until now, Fu Shan had maintained a record of nailing every scene in one take.
The few times he hadn't, it was because the actors he was acting with weren't up to par and had held him back.
Just tell me if you're convinced or not?
In Lu Li's opinion, Fu Shan was truly a naturally talented actor.
Amazing!
And Fu Shan himself was currently unaware that Director Lu Li admired him so much, to the point of blind trust in his abilities.
However, Fu Shan felt that his acting skills were indeed guaranteed.
After all, he possessed the skills of a senior actor. Playing the male lead in a youth idol drama like this, which wasn't very difficult, was something he could naturally handle with ease.
Getting it right in every take, what was so strange about that?
After finishing a day's shooting, Director Lu Li specifically kept Fu Shan behind, saying he had something to discuss with him.
"Um... Fu Shan, have you signed with any company yet? If not, would you like me to introduce one to you?"
Lu Li truly felt that Fu Shan was a rare uncut jade, destined to go far in the film and television industry.
Out of a desire to cherish talent, Lu Li had spoken up a bit more.
As for the others, he couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.
"Oh, that? No need!"
Fu Shan was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand, declining the offer.
Acting and the like, he was just playing around.
To put it plainly, he was just aiming to have a publicly funded romance with Xu Yifei, to flaunt their affection, and to show off their love.
He hadn't thought about anything else.
This point, Jiang Jinsong understood very early on.
It was Lu Li, the director, who was deeply engrossed in it, just marveling at Fu Shan's acting skills and good looks. For a moment, he hadn't seen through the surface to understand Fu Shan's true nature.
Ahem.
However, regarding Fu Shan's answer, Director Lu obviously misunderstood:
"Oh? So, Fu Shan, you're already under Aifei Entertainment?"
Lu Li raised an eyebrow, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
In his opinion, the reason Fu Shan said no was because he already had a company.
Thinking about it, Fu Shan had probably already signed with Aifei Entertainment and become an artist under them.
Yes, it must be so.
Director Lu felt he had hit the nail on the head!
"Uh, sort of."
Fu Shan didn't refute Director Lu's words, but nodded and said vaguely.
Aifei Entertainment was originally his, after all.
So, he... was also considered to be under Aifei Entertainment, right?
One had to say, Fu Shan's logic was perfect.
No problem!
"It's a shame. I wonder if we'll have another chance to work together after this drama wraps up."
Upon hearing this, Director Lu understood, though his expression showed a hint of disappointment.
He was a long-term director at Dongshan Film and Television. He had only come to direct Weiwei's Smiling City: Infinite this time.
Afterwards, he would have to return to Dongshan Film and Television to continue filming.
Originally, he had planned to introduce Fu Shan to Dongshan Film and Television.
Now it seemed that wouldn't work out.
Lu Li felt regret:
Working with Fu Shan was truly enjoyable! He just didn't know if he would ever have the opportunity to work with a talented actor like Fu Shan again.
Ah, what a pity!
"There will be opportunities!"
Fu Shan said with a smile.
After that, he looked at Lu Li with a half-smile: "Director Lu, you could also consider coming to Aifei Entertainment. I believe that if you come to Aifei Entertainment, you will definitely have better opportunities for development."
Through these days of cooperation, Fu Shan actually admired Lu Li very much.
This director really had some skills.
Aifei Entertainment was in a period of rapid development and was in urgent need of a capable director like Lu Li to take charge.
Hmm, if he remembered correctly, Director Lu's contract with Dongshan Film and Television was also about to end, right?
He could talk to Uncle Jiang and see if they could sign Director Lu to Aifei Entertainment.
Fu Shan was thinking to himself, and Lu Li on the opposite side was also quite tempted:
Fu Shan's suggestion seemed pretty good.
His long-term contract with Dongshan Film and Television was also about to expire.
Originally, he was planning to talk about renewing the contract.
Now it seemed...
He could consider switching to Aifei Entertainment.
He didn't want anything else, but just for this rare piece of jade, Fu Shan, Lu Li felt it was very worthwhile.
Having reached the above consensus, Jiang Jinsong swiftly took action and finalized the signing with Lu Li. Meanwhile, the filming of Weiwei's Smiling City: Infinite continued.
That day, the crew went to a university in Modu to film a scene. It involved Xu Yifei, who played the school beauty Lin Weiwei, and Fu Shan, who played the school hunk Xu Zeyan. They were in an online relationship and were meeting in person for the first time, going on a date, which caused a sensation and drew onlookers from the entire school.
Before filming this scene, Weiwei's Smiling City: Infinite had kept the news of the filming location very low-key.
Therefore, except for a few school leaders, the entire faculty and students of the university were unaware.
It wasn't until students and passersby who were near Zhaoming Lake, the most scenic spot in the school, accidentally saw Xu Yifei and Fu Shan...
The first reaction of the students and passersby upon seeing them was—
Huh, who are those two standing by Zhaoming Lake?
They're so handsome and beautiful!
Standing together, it was like a world-famous painting, so pleasing to the eye.
Ah, ah, ah, I can't take my eyes off them!
Of course, soon, some sharp-eyed people noticed something was amiss:
"Hey, that beautiful girl in the pink dress is Xu Yifei! The National Goddess—Xu Yifei!"
"That's right! That pretty young lady is Xu Yifei, that's right! Ah, ah, ah, Xu Yifei is so beautiful! So ethereal! She's even more beautiful and graceful in person than on TV."
"The handsome young man beside Xu Yifei is Fu Shan, right? It's Xu Yifei's boyfriend, Fu Shan! Oh my god, Fu Shan is so handsome! He's simply drop-dead gorgeous! Ah, ah, ah, he and Xu Yifei really match. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful; standing together, it's just perfect!"
Very quickly, everyone recognized that the young lady, who was too beautiful and had outstanding temperament, was the National Goddess—Xu Yifei.
And along with her, even Fu Shan was recognized.
After all, Fu Shan was someone who had made it onto the trending searches and headlines before.
Due to Xu Yifei, many people recognized him.
And Fu Shan was indeed handsome enough, and, he had a high degree of recognizability.
Just like that, he was recognized.
This was also very normal!
