Su Jue

It wasn’t until what happened shortly after that that Lu Yan vaguely understood why Mu Xiao was targeting him, and it also made him, who knew the past, have an indescribable feeling of embarrassment.

When Lu Yan arrived on the set that day, it was much later than usual. Anyway, there was no play for him in the morning. Arriving early was a love point, and being late was a duty. There was nothing wrong with it.

As soon as Lu Yan arrived on the set, he felt that today’s atmosphere was a bit weird, much quieter than usual, but everyone seemed to be much more excited than usual, especially those great supporting actors with good looks, all of them dressed glamorously. Beautiful but pretending to be reserved, like a show girl waiting to be selected in ancient times.

Lu Yan was a little puzzled. Song Hui, the assistant who had been on the set a long time ago, saw him coming and hurriedly came over and handed him the thermos cup filled with tea. In hot days, most people like to drink cold mineral water, but Lu Yan preferred to drink hot tea because of habit problems, even in such weather. At the beginning, he didn’t tell anyone specifically, after bringing his own tea for a few days, Song Hui began to prepare hot tea for him every day, and gradually Lu Yan stopped bringing his own. He had to say that Song Hui was really a good assistant. Not only was he dedicated, he was also very observant, and he was not much thoughtful, which was really rare.

Lu Yan took the thermos cup, and after opening it, a fresh scent came with the heat. Lu Yan liked to drink Oolong tea, especially Tieguanyin from Fujian¹. The taste was slightly astringent, and then it was sweet and full of aftertaste. The tea Song Hui prepared was different, but most of the time it was Tieguanyin, which was very considerate.

Lu Yan took a sip of tea and glanced around, “What happened today?”

Song Hui chuckled, “Brother Lu came late so you don’t know, a big man came to the set today, and everyone is striving for a good performance.”

Lu Yan was a little puzzled, “Big man?”

Song Hui snarled in one direction, “Hey, over there.”

Lu Yan looked over. He was surrounded by a group of people that didn’t dare to get too close. He just sat casually, but there was an indescribable elegance, like the extravagance that came out of his bones, and his smile was still there. It was a bit cynical and playful, but it didn’t make people feel annoying, but it felt a bit sexy.

It really was a big shot! wasn’t it right, the investor of this movie, the general manager of the Starry Sky Entertainment, Lu Yan saw him during the audition, the Second Young Master the Su family, Su Jue.

Then a group of people surrounded Su Jue, with their eyes shining with flattery. Of course, it was not obvious. Everyone was acting, too explicit and not good-looking. However, Mu Xiao occupied the position next to Su Jue, almost all of her body was attached to him, her smile was very gentle and sweet, and she was also very charming and moving, and her low talk and laughter seemed very intimate. She was deliberately confessing their relationship to everyone. Very shallow. Su Jue’s eyes were indulgent and meaningless, and Mu Xiao’s actions made his eyes more interesting without refusing to cooperate.

Of course, Lu Yan didn’t follow along. It wasn’t that he was lofty, and it wasn’t that he was disgusted with such behavior. The entertainment industry had always been the most realistic place. If you don’t have a background and want to climb up, don’t hold the so-called self-esteem, no one will eat this.

Lu Yan was not a passionate young man in the first place. He had a cold and warm human relationship, and he had experienced the impermanence of the world since he was a child. He was always calm and rational, and only did what was best for him. The reason why he didn’t get up was not that he didn’t bother to get involved with people with more voice in the circle, but that he knew that it was not good to be superior, and it was not advisable to put yourself too low, if you don’t not even respect yourself, how could others respect you and value you! Lu Yan was better at capturing opportunities, trying to make a good enough impression at the most natural and appropriate time without making people feel too deliberate. And when the opportunity had not yet come, he was also good at waiting.

At this moment, Lu Yan was thinking about another thing. Looking at Mu Xiao’s current performance, the rumors didn’t seem to be groundless. Not to mention whether Mu Xiao’s role as the heroine in this movie was due to Su Jue’s hand, at least their relationship was indeed as simple as the rumors.

So, what about Xu Yongzhou in the previous life? Although the development of things today was different from that of the previous life, Lu Yan still couldn’t relax his mind about Xu Yongzhou. After all, his abilities were there. Although he didn’t get this role, as long as there was no accident, he would definitely get ahead. Then, when the time comes, would he still target himself? Lu Yan didn’t know, so he couldn’t help but guard.

Since the relationship between Mu Xiao and Su Jue was as rumored, wasn’t the relationship between Xu Yongzhou and Su Jue in the previous life also as rumored? Thinking about it now, the last phone call from Xu Yongzhou that he heard at that time, the President Su he kept talking in his mouth, should be Su Jue, after all, Xu Yongzhou was signed in Starry Sky Entertainment at that time, so he shouldn’t call others that, and when he mentioned President Su with familiarity, Lu Yan didn’t care too much at that time, but he thought it was too intimate, not at all like the relationship between a simple boss and its artist.

Lu Yan couldn’t help frowning. He didn’t want to think about Su Jue’s sexual orientation. What he cared about was whether Su Jue in this life would still hinder him, but now he still had no capital to resist.

Lu Yan was falling into his thoughts, and suddenly there was a scream of frustration, “Second Su, what are you doing here?”

This voice, this kind of strength, he didn’t need to guess that it must be Li Ran.

Su Jue finally stood up, smiled at Li Ran, and replied slowly, “Of course I want to see how your movie is going”

Li Ran folded his arms and snorted, “Aren’t you here to make trouble?”

“Why?” Su Jue looked innocent, “I paid for this movie, and I still make money by pointing to it.”

Li Ran pointed his finger at the people around him. Most of them were actors in the show. He raised his eyebrows. “You are here, how can they make a good film.”

Su Jue slowly put his hand in his pocket and smiled, “If they can’t make a good film because I’m here, it can only show that you, the director, are too useless.”

Li Ran became angry for a while. Talking about eloquence, he was really not the opponent of Second Su, “You can look good if I look at you, and you are not allowed to make trouble with me. Otherwise, I will tell Master Su and let him come and teach you a lesson.”

The corner of Su Jue’s mouth twitched, “You’re such an adult, and you still give a small report, are you interesting?”

Li Ran picked his eyebrows, “It not interesting and uninteresting, as long as I can stop you. Okay, I’m ready to start shooting, do you want to take a break today.” Of course, the latter sentence was for everyone.

According to rumors, director Li Ra and the Su brothers had a close friendship, which was true.

Sure enough, Su Jue did what he said, and just watched carefully, didn’t do anything extra, and he took it quite seriously. But he couldn’t hold back everyone trying to get his attention. Of course, the benefit was not without it, that is, everyone was more serious, even those who were usually lazy. With the spirit of twelve points, in such an atmosphere, even the number of NGs was much less. Li Ran was a little surprised that Su Jue still had such an effect, and he ignored his rude words generously.

Just kidding, everyone in the circle knew that Su Jue, second young master president Su, although he always liked beauties, and he had not taboo between men and women, he never wanted vases. Basically, what he could see was both beauty and strength. It happened that the people he kept by his side all became the actor king, actress queen or the song god, the additional effect was of course that more artists wanted to hug this thigh². That being said, his eyesight was quite good.

Of course, Lu Yan was not among these people. Since he understood the relationship between Su Jue and Xu Yongzhou in the previous life, he dispelled the idea of ​​drawing Su Jue’s attention to have a friendship with him. It’s just that he dismissed the idea, which didn’t mean that the other party had no idea.

In the afternoon, Lu Yan had a scene with Mu Xiao. As soon as he went on the field, he felt a line of sight following him. He glanced casually and met Su Jue’s interested gaze. When he saw him looking over, he gently hooked the corner of his mouth.

At first, Lu Yan didn’t pay much attention. He thought it was because the scene was against Mu Xiao. Su Jue paid attention to him by the way. Later, he realized that something was wrong, because Su Jue basically didn’t pay attention to Mu Xiao. Obviously, Mu Xiao knew something too, her face was particularly bad, and the hostility in her eyes was even heavier. Although she tried to conceal it, she still left traces.

Lu Yan understood in an instant, it turned out that Mu Xiao’s inexplicable unkindness was because of Su Jue’s interest in him? When did it happen? Su Jue came to the set for the first time, but Mu Xiao showed hostility on the first day of meeting. It should be that Su Jue mentioned him in front of Mu Xiao before, so it should be when he saw him during the audition.

Perhaps Xu Yongzhou in his last life also aroused Su Jue’s interest during the audition, and he developed later. After figuring out the joints, Lu Yan was a little surprised, but he was not too surprised. After all, Lu Yan was confident that he would not lose to Xu Yongzhou no matter what.

It’s just that Lu Yan was not Xu Yongzhou, and his choice must be different. Not to mention that Lu Yan didn’t have much interest in men, but relying on Xu Yongzhou’s previous life to deal with himself through Su Jue’s relationship, it made him feel enough. Lu Yan didn’t want to deny that, in fact, he still held a grudge.

After figuring it out, Lu Yan became calmer. His performance was still remarkable, even if he NG ’ed several times because of Mu Xiao, it couldn’t conceal his outstanding performance.
