She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Chapter 446 Honorary Alumni

After finishing the conversation about future career planning, Su Lingxi stayed at her home in the imperial capital for nearly a week, during which time she attended two script reading sessions for "Days and Nights in Bugoli" and a celebration banquet organized for her by Hengsheng Pictures.

At the celebration banquet, Su Lingxi met many old acquaintances whom she hadn't seen for a long time, including Bei Ning who was shooting a new film in the capital, Jiang Yuezhu who had just finished working on a movie with Mei Yu, and Zhong Lingling who was almost busy like a frequent flyer.

After several years, dormitory 424 reunited. The four of them were very interested in each other's current situation, especially Su Lingxi. Ever since hearing the news that the Imperial Capital Film Academy had hung Su Lingxi's name and photo in the Honorary Alumni Exhibition Hall overnight, Bei Ning even changed her note for her to "Miracle Queen", and claimed that such low-probability events were always likely to happen to her, and he must take the opportunity to take advantage of her good luck.

With the company of a few good friends, the celebration party went very smoothly. The only flaw was that someone leaked the news to the paparazzi, and Su Lingxi was almost blocked by the paparazzi in the hotel before leaving.

Fortunately, domestic paparazzi are not as aggressive as Hollywood paparazzi, so they were able to get away quickly without much effort.

After the celebration banquet, Su Lingxi did not have time to rest for two days, and flew to Shanghai with the "Bugoli" crew to start preparing for the formal shooting.

Bugaoli Lane is located in Huangpu District, Shanghai. It is a typical old-style lane residential complex built by French businessmen, integrating the style of Western townhouses. It is a rare group of lane residential buildings in Shanghai, and therefore it was chosen as the main filming location for the movie.

The alley is narrow and dark, but it still retains the strong traditional folk culture and customs. The roof is covered with red tiles like a forest, vines are winding and twisting, there is a small patio, and old wooden stairs... Every scratch is filled with the warm breath of life, making people feel as if they can see through time and see the lives of the people decades ago.

Although it is a bit small, it has a retro charm. Overall, Su Lingxi is quite satisfied with the shooting location.

But she didn't expect that she would meet another "old acquaintance" as soon as she landed in Shanghai.

"Bian Xu?" Su Lingxi glanced at the name written behind the "Producer" column on the document and frowned unconsciously, "Why did you suddenly change the original producer?"

"Actually, we invited Teacher Bian to be the producer at the beginning, but at that time he hadn't finished filming a TV series, so..." Cui Siyu hesitated and explained to her in detail.

In fact, before Su Lingxi was confirmed to star in the film, "Bugoli" was not considered a key project within the China Film Group - after all, it was just an art film, not an adaptation of a famous novel, and it was unclear whether it could make money, so naturally no one within the group was interested in it.

After Su Lingxi officially signed the performance contract, this project became one of the most important projects of the year for Huaying Group. Not only was it given the green light in terms of review, but all the directors, screenwriters and producers were personally reviewed by Huaying’s senior management.

Compared with the fiercely competitive position of director, the competition for the position of producer was much less intense. Especially after Bian Xu politely declined the invitation, the senior management of Huaying immediately found Chen Hong, who was on par with him, to take over the position of producer.

However, no one expected that Chen Hong would be suddenly replaced just before filming began - this even happened after he had attended two script reading sessions with them.

It's really unbelievable.

Su Lingxi heard the hidden meaning in Cui Siyu's words and felt helpless about the result.

There is no doubt that Bian Xu's ability as a producer is no less than Chen Hong, and even if someone else is replaced, it will not be disadvantageous to her, but the problem is that now the entire crew can guess that the reason why Bian Xu became the producer is because she used "unfair means" to forcibly squeeze out Chen Hong.

This kind of thing is common in the entertainment industry, and no one would blame him for it, but Su Lingxi had some vague guesses in his mind.

Going back on one's words is not Bian Xu's style. His abnormal behavior...is probably related to her.

Su Lingxi felt a headache when she thought of this possibility.

Work is work, and private life is private life. She doesn't like to confuse the two, and she doesn't want to deal with emotional entanglements while working.

This is a very unprofessional attitude.

Unfortunately, things have come to this point, and she can't change anything except controlling her emotions.

As if in response to her thoughts, the next second, a tall and thin figure walked into the conference room.

"Sorry, Director Cui, there was a bit of traffic on the road. I should not be late, right?" A gentle male voice came, and the two people in the room looked towards the door at the same time.

The man was wearing a well-textured brown suit jacket and a light blue striped shirt. His outfit was layered, casual and eye-catching. His black curly hair, which was long enough to reach behind his ears, was held down by a cold hat. His hair slightly covered his eyebrows, making it difficult to see the true emotions flashing in his eyes.

"It's okay. Today is just a small meeting among the main creators. We can start once everyone is here." Cui Siyu replied politely.

She didn't pay much attention to Bian Xu's slightly fancy outfit - there were many men in the entertainment industry who loved to dress up, and Cui Siyu had seen many people who were more exaggerated than him before.

On the contrary, Su Lingxi couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Noticing her gaze, Bian Xu's smile became more gentle, "What's the situation with Teacher Duan now? I remember he was on a flight last night?"

The teacher Duan he mentioned is the male lead Duan Yanche who will be co-starring with Su Lingxi in this movie.

Duan Yanche is almost 30 this year. He has starred in several movies before and won the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor. He is considered a representative figure of young fame in the domestic entertainment industry.

Su Lingxi was actually very surprised at first that Huaying Group could find her a leading actor with such an impressive resume.

After all, Duan Yanche has good looks and acting skills, he has awards to win and movies to shoot, so there is no need for him to be the second lead.

But after two contacts, Su Lingxi discovered that Duan Yanche himself did not care so much about the ranking, he cared more about the quality of the script and the team.

It can be seen that he has awe for the profession of actor.

Thinking of himself, Su Lingxi couldn't help but feel that he shared the same ideals.

Seeing that Cui Siyu looked unhappy, she naturally helped to explain, "I just checked Weibo and saw that Mr. Duan's flight seemed to be delayed. It might be difficult for him to get here for a while."

Su Lingxi answered very nonchalantly, so she didn't notice that Bian Xu's mouth turned down for a moment.
