Chapter 424: 423. It turns out to be her (10 more) Chapter 424: 423. It turns out to be her (10 more) All of them handso n and beautiful won, as if competing in a beauty contest.
After observing for a mont, just as she was about to stride towards the entrance, a handso guy with a work badge grabbed her.
“Excuse , miss, are you here for the audition?”
The handso guy opposite her held a piece of paper and a pen, and while he asked routinely, he glanced behind Tang Shu.
There was nothing there.
Huh?
How co this celebrity doesn’t have an assistant? Could they have gone sowhere else?
“No.”
While he was pondering, a unique voice ca from the other side, clear and tinged with a sense of purity, very pleasant to the ear.
“Huh?”
What had he just heard… was it… no?
Tang Shu pulled down her mask and repeated, “I’m not here for an audition.”
“Ah, not?”
The handso guy sized up Tang Shu from head to toe, feeling that she seed very familiar, as if he had seen her sowhere before, but just… couldn’t quite rember.
But one thing was for sure, the beauty before him was definitely a star!
A black mask, delicate features, an elegant figure – how could he, soone who had been around the set for years, not tell the difference between an ordinary person and a celebrity?
However…
“No, I’m here for a eting. Director Li said the eting room is on the east side, right?”
“A eting? Wait… you’re part of the production crew?”
As Director Li Li’s assistant, the handso guy was well aware of who was on his team, and indeed there were a few external instructors coming for a eting today.
But this woman before him didn’t seem like one at all.
She looked more like an actress vying for attention!
Tang Shu nodded and extended her hand, “Right, etiquette and prop advisor, Tang Shu.”
The other party, dumbfounded, transferred the pen from his right hand to his left and reflexively shook her hand.
“Hello, hello, Director Li’s assistant, Lu Gang.”
Realizing that he had introduced himself, the handso guy later felt annoyed by his slip-up.
This damn courtesy!
“I can find my way there; you can go on with your work, Assistant Lu.”
After greeting him, Tang Shu also saw where the entrance to the eting room was and walked past him, heading straight to the south.
The one left standing there, Lu Gang, pondered the familiar na and then it hit him.
“Tang Shu? Tang Shu! Isn’t she the newcor who has been all over the internet recently?”
He had seen the latest episode of “Detective,” and it was truly brilliant. It was rare to see the ga played like that.
But how had she beco an etiquette and prop advisor?
That has to be a lie!
***
Before entering the eting room, Tang Shu paused for a mont. To avoid further misunderstandings, she took out a printed employnt contract from her backpack.
Upon pushing the door open, her gaze swept over the people inside and settled accurately on an old man in his fifties.
That man was Li Li, the unrivaled leading director for TV dramas in the country.
It was also thanks to Luo Lin who had shown her a photo of this legendary director that Tang Shu was able to bypass asking around.
“Director Li, hello, I am Tang Shu.”
Tang Shu stopped in front of him and greeted him.
“Hmm? If you’re here for the audition, please wait in the neighboring rest room, we’ll start in an hour.”
The other party seed accustod to people striking up conversations and only gave Tang Shu a glance before continuing to study the script in hand.
Just as expected.
Those four characters crossed Tang Shu’s mind as she handed over her employnt contract.
“I’m not here to audition, you notified to co over today for a eting, this is the contract.”
Only then did the other party look up and give her a proper look, his gaze lingering on the contract as he pondered for a mont.
“You’re Tang Shu?”
He rembered that he had indeed heard these two words just now, and Tang Shu was the etiquette and prop director recomnded to him by Xie Yunfeng.
Just that… could this delicately beautiful young lady really be the Tang Shu he had been in contact with via email?
It was truly unexpected.
Since she was referred by an acquaintance, Li Li hadn’t asked for her resu, simply requesting a routine set layout report from her.
Now, it seed so things had already gone beyond his expectations.
Tang Shu nodded, “Yes, that’s .”
Li Li was still instinctively a bit skeptical; after all, this beauty really did look too much like those stars waiting in line to audition outside.
He opened the contract Tang Shu had handed over and glanced through it until he saw Tang Shu’s signature in the end, which made him slowly co to accept the fact.
“I’ve read your report on the filming set layout, and it’s quite ingenious. I heard you previously worked with the ‘Chaotic World’ crew as an etiquette and prop director?”
“I was fortunate enough to have Director Xie’s generous support and helped the crew with a little sothing.”
“A little sothing? You’re being too modest.”
Li Li slowly shook his head, recalling the praises Xie Yunfeng sang of her at a dinner.
He had almost extolled Tang Shu to the skies, saying employing her was absolutely worth it as she could save a lot of trouble.
And when he had tentatively thrown her a difficult question in an email, her reply turned out to be unexpectedly good. It could be said that she had done considerable research on the dynasty in which ‘Corridor Pavilion’ was set, not only being able to analyze all the necessary props and their arrangent but also anticipating the reactions of various characters.
Now that he saw her in person, he added another evaluation: not only was she highly professional, but she also had a certain amount of insight.
Tang Shu smiled without saying a word.
Now Li Li wasn’t in a hurry either, glanced at the ti on his watch, and clapped his hands to gather everyone.
“Is everyone here? Let’s have a eting!”
At his command, the crew mbers, who had previously been busy with their own tasks, quickly returned to their seats and obediently sat down, with Tang Shu finding a vacant seat at the back to sit as well.
In the crew, most were n with quite ordinary looks typical of this line of work, while Tang Shu’s striking appearance and height beca an odd sight among them.
Many people cast curious glances at her.
“This ti, our crew has several external staff mbers; let’s introduce ourselves so we can get to know each other.”
Following Director Li’s concluding remark, several newly joined mbers introduced themselves in turn.
“Hello, everyone, my na is Xiao Xin, the martial arts director.”
“Hello, everyone, I am Li Zenan, the second writer for this drama.”
“Hello, you all, Tang Shu, the etiquette and prop director.”
As soon as Tang Shu finished speaking, the previously silent venue suddenly filled with a few murmurs.
Thanks to the ever-increasing Inner Strength, I heard the others’ exchanges loud and clear.
“Tang Shu? So it’s her!”
“No wonder she looked familiar, she’s been really popular recently—”
“I watched ‘You Smile’ and this season’s ‘Detective’; I’m really impressed, I kind of want to be her fan.”
“An actress, what’s she doing here?”
“Nonsense, didn’t she just introduce herself? Etiquette and prop director… oh my!”
The last two words were obviously raised in pitch, probably more professional than even a music student.
