Chapter 584: 583. The Director Admits Defeat (Thirteenth Update) Chapter 584: 583. The Director Admits Defeat (Thirteenth Update) Lu Xiangtong’s role as Female Lead No.2 isn’t very significant.
It truly isn’t, and if it were just this one actor’s job, Tang Shu would still have a lot of free ti, the kind where she could shoot once and rest for two or three days.
But combined with the identity of a crew mber, there’s hardly enough ti.
“Corridor Pavilion” is a big-budget serious drama, and every scene is very important, necessitating neat and particular set and arrangent, which invisibly increases the workload.
“Don’t worry, I won’t sign up for this kind of work in the future.”
Tang Shu also felt it wasn’t worth it; she might as well take the ti to return to her own lab and research a few more poison formulas.
Those were her little darlings~~~
Ever since she ca to the modern world, she had neglected her original strengths, and instead improved her dical skills—an utter embarrassnt for the Young Sect Master of the Tang Sect known for her Poison Techniques. Who could she even complain to?
If her own grandfather knew about this… Good thing he doesn’t, or he’d be blowing his beard and staring his eyes out.
Luo Lin next to her curled her lip, “I don’t even dare to take on other drama jobs for you now.”
“That’s just great, you can tilt resources toward a few of the newcors.”
“Alrighty, as you wish.”
In the circle, almost every actor who could get a script managed to have their schedules booked up until next year. Yet this ancestor before her was waiting with no work ahead.
Quite an oddity, indeed.
She unfolded the report and started going through it, never stopping the entire journey.
As the Volkswagen neared the Palm Pavilion, Luo Lin’s work was also drawing to a close.
“‘You Smile’ has received good reviews in the Southeast Asia Region—it’s almost a blockbuster. Our ad revenue has increased manifold, and many are looking forward to season two.”
“Got it, I’ll make ti in September.”
“As long as you’re aware, that’s good. Oh, right…”
Luo Lin hesitated for a mont, then said, “Both ‘Journey Together’ and ‘Let’s Detective Together’ have invited you to be a regular guest for the next season, what do you think?”
“A regular guest?”
Tang Shu paused, slightly surprised.
“Don’t those variety shows have set regular guests? Are they planning to change this year?”
“I inquired a bit. ‘Journey Together’ isn’t changing its cast; the entertainnt company backing the program is part of Cloudscape Group. It’s said they’ve accepted an invite from a foreign exploration show, planning to go big this year.”
“A collaboration with a foreign exploration variety show, rging into one?”
“Yeah, five guests from each side, and most filming locations are abroad, so…”
They needed a regular guest, and Tang Shu’s performance in the last show was quite extraordinary, making her a key target for recruitnt.
After so thought, Luo Lin said, “This variety show has its pros and cons if you want to join. The exposure will naturally be greater than before, but so will the risk factor.”
Tang Shu nodded, indicating she understood, “And ‘Let’s Detective Together’?”
“The regular guest Teng Xiaoyu has taken on three drama roles this year and has no schedule available, only able to make way for her acting career by stepping back from the variety show.”
So, they set their sights on their own artist as well.
Sigh, it’s a wonderful problem to have when the boss is too outstanding.
As Luo Lin felt delighted, she couldn’t help showing off a bit.
“When’s the schedule?”
“‘Journey Together’ is in the sumr, one month of consecutive shooting without coming back in between. I’ve roughly calculated; by then, the shooting of ‘Corridor Pavilion’ here would be winding down.”
Tang Shu laughed upon hearing this, though it might not necessarily be winding down. According to the current pace of the crew, it was probable they would finish within a month.
This was the most smoothly running crew she had seen.
“Help accept ‘Journey Together’.”
“Huh?”
Luo Lin was slightly surprised and pondered for a mont, “You… that could be very dangerous.”
Although fa would indeed increase, and the movie would be released both dostically and internationally, Tang Shu wasn’t just any artist—her safety was the utmost priority.
“It’s fine, I’ll be careful.”
It just so happened that she wanted to travel around the country and take a look.
Back when she was with Damo, she almost traveled to every corner of the country collecting various dicinal herbs. Now that she had the chance to see other places, it was a good opportunity for her.
“Alright, we’ll just wait and see what happens then.”
Tang Shu: “…”
So, you’re saying if you don’t think it’s working out, you’ll let drop out halfway?
Even if Starshine dia could afford to lose face, Cloudscape Group and the national audience wouldn’t be able to pull it off without feeling embarrassed.

“Xiao Shushu, our movie is going to be released!”
In the Plants & Herbs Hall studio, Tang Shu received the exciting news from Geng Qiuqiu. The voice on the phone was full of vitality; it was apparent that the other party was really looking forward to the movie’s release.
“Has it passed the post-production and review phases?”
“Yes, yes, it’s getting released on Children’s Day!”
“Isn’t that this Saturday?”
That was pretty fast!
“Weren’t you planning to release it during the sumr?”
“That’s correct, originally. But there are several major movies set to release during the sumr. Oh right, there’s also that ‘Hurricane Goddess.’ The director totally chickened out because of that~~~”
“…”
You definitely didn’t consider the director’s feelings when you said that.
“It’s actually pretty good, aside from animated films, cody movies match the Children’s Day atmosphere.”
Tang Shu swore that the “pretty good” was absolutely against her will.
However, the fact that the other party chickened out to avoid the major sumr releases was indeed very gutsy and quite sensible.
“Right, right! There’s a premiere tonight, and I’ll be heading out shortly. You absolutely must support us big ti!”
“Sure, I’ll definitely support.”
“Yes, yes, I’ve had my assistant send you a dozen movie tickets, and there are also two VIP premiere tickets. You should make ti to go in the next couple of days. You can choose from several premiere ceremonies.”
“Okay.”
After the call ended, Tang Shu received a private ssage from Yang Tiantian saying that the movie tickets had been received.
That fast?
Sister Geng was timing her call to perfectly—
Tang Shu let out a light chuckle and directly initiated a voice call to Yang Tiantian.
“How many movie tickets are there?”
Earlier, the other party had said a dozen, but how many was that exactly?
“Boss—You really don’t skimp when it cos to helping out.”
Yang Tiantian’s tone was lengthy and complicated.
“… Speak plainly.”
The other party imdiately turned serious, “There are only two VIP tickets for the premiere, and the rest were sent in a box; there must be around two or three hundred.”
A box that could barely fit them, mind you.
“And Miss Geng’s assistant personally delivered them, explaining how to use the tickets. You can take them straight to the movie theater, or you can scan the QR code on the tickets and use the ticket vending machine to get them again at the venue.”
