Coming of the Villain Boss! - Chapter 1342
Chapter 1342: Walking In The Backlight (18)
“I’m thinking… Who do you think the supporting male protagonist is?”
“I don’t know…”
“The Advisor, ah, I like him so much. He’s the last villain, but he’s so handsome! Any casual person can absolutely not play him well or have such a temperament as him!”
World was also adapted from a novel. Apparently these people had all read the original work.
“Miss Gu Xi, do you know?” someone asked Gu Xi.
Gu Xi showed a blank face. “What?”
“The supporting male protagonist, do you know who will play the Advisor?” the person asked expectantly.
They didn’t know, but Gu Xi must know.
Yet Gu Xi shook her head. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know, either.”
Gu Xi really didn’t know who’d play the Advisor.
This character was a bit of a mystery, so it was normal for the crew to block the news.
The staff member was a little disappointed. “So it’s like that, I thought Miss Gu Xi knows, but even you don’t know about it, I’m more curious now.”
Gu Xi smiled and turned away.
Gu Xi was the female protagonist.
As soon as she arrived at the set, many people greeted her warmly.
She had Cui Jingyang backing her, and she was the Gu family’s young miss, so who wouldn’t please her?
Externally, Gu Xi had always been an easy person to get along with, so when these people came forward, she must deal with them kindly.
“Sister Xi, you don’t have to be so nice to them,” the assistant murmured.
Gu Xi said in a light and sure voice, “That’s okay.”
The assistant seemed a little helpless.
She then told the schedule and some arrangements in the crew to Gu Xi.
“Ahh!!”
“Shit, there’s a handsome man!”
“Where, where?”
“Just outside, super hot! Wouldn’t he be my Lord Advisor?”
The staff members poured out.
Gu Xi looked over with some curiosity. There was a man standing outside the car. It was a little far, she couldn’t see what he looked like clearly.
But judging from the reaction of those anthomaniacs, he probably wouldn’t look ugly.
As Gu Xi was sizing up the man carefully, she suddenly saw a familiar figure getting out of the car.
Wen Di!
“Why is she here?!”
The assistant looked along Gu Xi’s line of sight.
“Why is she here?” Gu Xi turned her head and asked again.
The assistant shook her head. “I don’t know…”
Gu Xi walked outside a little to see clearly the situation over there.
The man, wearing a simple T-shirt, stood casually outside the car. He opened the car door for the girl, with his head lowered, and seemed to be saying something to the girl.
The girl walked inside, and he followed for two steps, but then stopped and stood on the spot, watching the girl go inside.
“That’s Wen Di… Her kept boy toy?”
“OMG, no way, he’s so handsome?”
“He was a little blurry in the photo before, but now he looks quite handsome. He’s way more handsome than in the picture.”
“With such a handsome face, I would also keep him!”
“Come on, you don’t have money.”
“…Don’t tell me that and we’ll still be friends!”
Discussion filled Gu Xi’s ears.
Ming Shu raised her head and looked this way. The two’s gazes collided with each other.
Disgust immediately occupied Gu Xi’s eyes.
Ming Shu offered a smile, then lowered her eyes and walked in slowly.
Didn’t Cui Jingyang say he wouldn’t allow her to appear here? But why did she show up on the set still?
“What’s Wen Di’s role? Won’t that young brother come in? I thought he was the Advisor…”
“Me too.”
Gu Xi turned and left, leaving those voices behind.
She told the assistant to ask about it.
It took the assistant a while to come back.
Gu Xi immediately asked, “What’s her role?” I’m the female protagonist, so she can’t be the female protagonist.
Should she be the secondary female protagonist?
“Secondary male protagonist.”
“What?”
Gu Xi thought she’d heard it wrong.
But there’s a huge difference in pronunciation between secondary male and female.
“Secondary male protagonist…” the assistant repeated it again. She was also very surprised to hear it.
World was a Xuanhuan drama, concerning fantasy stories.
This was a special drama where the main male protagonist was inferior to the secondary male protagonist.
The secondary male protagonist had always been the superior Advisor, as noble as a banished immortal who had mysterious means.
The whole story’s conspiracy was almost developed entirely around the Advisor.
Also, the female protagonist liked the Advisor at first… then turned to like the main hero.
Even when the hero finally ascended the throne and the world was at peace, the Advisor was still a very special presence.
From the script, there should be a season two.
But there was no doubt that the role of the Advisor was more important than that of the male protagonist.
She heard that the most difficult role to determine in World was this one.
Gu Xi would never expect that the role was given to her unrelated sister.
How was it possible!
Were World’s crew’s directors blind?
Gu Xi took out her phone and called Cui Jingyang.
“Yes, Xixi?”
Hearing Cui Jingyang’s voice, Gu Xi suddenly calmed down.
“What’s wrong, Xixi?” After not hearing Gu Xi’s voice for a while, Cui Jingyang was confused.
Gu Xi adjusted her mood. “I just arrived at the set, and I think I should let you know.”
“Okay, that’s good. I’ll go visit the set when I’m not busy.”
“…Yes.”
Gu Xi talked with Cui Jingyang for some time, then hung up the phone.
She clenched the phone slightly.
Wen Di…
…
When all the actors were on set, it was easy to determine each one’s role in the drama.
Knowing that Ming Shu would play the national Advisor, everyone was very surprised. She was a woman, many terrible rumors about her made the news, and had anti-fandogs. Was she able to show the Advisor’s noble temperament?
The director must be crazy!
Wasn’t Wen Di being forced out?
Why could she get such an important role as the Advisor?
Was that forcing out only a joke?
In fact, the director was also very innocent…
He also didn’t want it to become like this!
But the investor must want her!
Who knew what was wrong with the investor…
What could he do?
Besides, Director He also recommended her in advance, so he could only bow to power.
Of course, he’d seen her play the role of Advisor, which was totally OK.
Otherwise, even if the power was too overwhelming for him to resist, he couldn’t give such an important role to any girl.
“Sister…” Gu Xi squeezed herself out of a crowd. “It’s good that we can shoot a drama together.”
If it was not that the cheap younger sister was not so cute…
Ming Shu would have believed her by her sincere tone.
Without any embarrassment on her face, Gu Xi didn’t seem to remember anything about the audition that day.
Ming Shu turned her head and smiled. “Yes, you’ll have to fall in love with me.”
Gu Xi: “…”
Why did it sound so weird?
[…] The Harmony System suspected something… did she compete for the secondary male protagonist because of that?
“Come on, love me!”
Ming Shu posed a little heart to Gu Xi incidentally.
Gu Xi: “…” Was she out of her mind?! How could I love her? I hate her the most!
It seemed Ming Shu had cast a huge psychological shadow on Gu Xi that day, she hardly ever bothered her afterward.
The final makeup photos of the cast caused a lot of discussion after being released, yet after all the other roles had been exposed, the Advisor still didn’t appear.
Many fans clamored to see the Advisor.
Some also began to guess who the Advisor might be.
They made a wild guess among all artists in the showbiz.
All possible artists were put on a list, yet none of them were in line with the image of the Advisor in their hearts. The book fans were very desperate and had begun to curse the crew.
