Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day Novel - Chapter 1072

Chapter 1072: Infuriating the White Lotus

Seeing this news, everyone’s first reaction was to find it funny. After all, Chinese sci-fi movies were basically equivalent to bad movies in everyone’s hearts.

Over the years, only one or two sci-fi movies that barely matched the public’s aesthetics and had good box office sales were only popular domestically. They had no way of entering the international market.

Xia Wanyuan’s studio had announced this news at this critical moment after being rejected by Director Charon. Wasn’t this clearly declaring war on Director Charon?

At this moment, not only did the passers-by feel that it was ridiculous, but even the fans felt a little guilty.

[… Are you poisonous? Have you discussed this with Yuan Yuan? Can the studio not just take money and do inhumane affairs? Anyway, when the time comes, you won’t be the one to embarrass yourself and be scolded, right?]

[Um… Director Charon can be considered the father of science fiction movies. You’re courting death by challenging him.]

[For some reason, I have a feeling that Xia Wanyuan is arrogant. How much money do you think you have? How dare you openly challenge an international director now? America is not China. No matter how rich you are, they won’t fall for your tricks.]

At the center of public opinion, not only was there a large number of reports about this news in the country, but under the operations of foreign people, the topic of “Chinese actresses publicly challenging Charon’s new movie” was also widely spread overseas.

Director Charon was a famous director overseas, and none of China’s movies could enter the international scene. In the eyes of foreign people, Chinese actresses really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.

When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the set, the staff was a little careful. “Sister Xia, are you going to film a sci-fi movie?”

Xia Wanyuan nodded. “I think it’s quite interesting and want to try it.”

To Xia Wanyuan, in the dynasty she lived in her previous life, the Chinese were worshiped by all countries. The thoughts of the Heavenly Kingdom were rooted in her bones. She had always felt that China had to do the best thing, so there was no fear of foreign thoughts.

“Oh, oh.” The staff forced a smile. “Then work hard. Your movie will definitely be popular.”

Towards the end, the staff felt that their words were a little unreliable.

Xia Wanyuan did not care about what others thought. She matched the scene with the director and began filming.

Over the past few days, Su Yueran had not come to the production team again. However, today, halfway through Xia Wanyuan’s filming, Su Yueran slowly walked in.

“Sister Yueran, congratulations on obtaining the qualifications to film Charon. You’re really amazing.” Before Su Yueran could walk to the director’s side, the staff began to congratulate her.

“Thank you, everyone. I was just lucky. Xia Wanyuan gave in to me. Actually, her acting skills are much better than mine,” Su Yueran replied humbly.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan’s scene had just ended. Su Yueran walked towards her. “Miss Xia, can I take some time to talk to you?”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded, her expression indifferent. In the eyes of the others, they felt that the atmosphere between the two was very awkward.

Su Yueran brought Xia Wanyuan to the cafe beside the film studio and handed her a box.

“What are you doing?” Xia Wanyuan raised an eyebrow.

“It’s to apologize.” Su Yueran’s eyes were filled with apology. “If not for your delay at the hospital, the opportunity to get this role would definitely be yours. If I had known earlier, I should have sent the young lady and Miss Xia, you could’ve gone for the audition. Your acting skills are much better than mine.”

Xia Wanyuan did not take the thing Su Yueran handed her. Her gaze landed on the coffee in front of her. “You’re too polite. You got this role. It has nothing to do with me.”

“Then, Miss Xia, have you forgiven me?”

“There’s no forgiveness. You got the role yourself.” Xia Wanyuan was a little impatient. She did not like Su Yueran.

Su Yueran’s eyes were filled with anxiety. “Then you still won’t forgive me. We went to the audition together, but because you sent someone to the hospital, this opportunity fell on me. I feel guilty for accepting it.”

“Sister Xia.” Just as the two of them were in a deadlock, a crisp and sweet voice suddenly came from the side. Lu Li ran happily to Xia Wanyuan’s side. “There are a few scripts that I need you to read.”

“This is?” Su Yueran’s eyes flashed with displeasure at being interrupted.

“I’m Sister Xia’s manager. My name is Lu Li. I’m Lu as in deer, and Li as in pear. Hello, Miss Su.” Lu Li smiled sweetly and introduced herself to Su Yueran.

“Hello.” After greeting Lu Li, Su Yueran turned around to look at Xia Wanyuan. “Miss Xia, I hope you can forgive me. My birthday banquet is the day after tomorrow. I want to invite you and CEO Jun to the Su family. If you don’t come, you’re still angry with me.”

“Why did you invite CEO Jun along?” Lu Li interrupted. She looked really puzzled. “Did you make CEO Jun angry?”

“…” Su Yueran glanced at Lu Li. Xia Wanyuan’s manager, looked a little stupid. She could not be bothered to argue with her about Lu Li catching the wrong point. “I just want to express my apology.”

“Sister Su” Lu Li opened her innocent eyes as if she had suddenly thought of a good idea. “How about this? Let’s hold a press conference and explain the situation to the public. At that time, I was bitten by a dog. Sister Xia sent me to the hospital. Sister Su went to the audition herself, which led to Director Charon misunderstanding Sister Xia.”

Lu Li’s tone was very serious. She even took out a notebook from her bag as if she was planning the press conference. “Sister Su, what do you think? It can help Sister Xia reduce the pressure of public opinion and stop you from feeling so guilty.”

“…” Looking at Lu Li’s very innocent face, Su Yueran could not hold back the smile on her lips. She wondered if this little girl was pretending to be innocent.

Facing a person who had been bitten by a dog, Xia Wanyuan had chosen to send someone to the hospital, but she had run to the audition herself. What would others think of her?

Seeing that Su Yueran was silent, Lu Li carefully shrank her neck and looked at Xia Wanyuan. “Sister Xia, did I say something wrong?”

The corners of Xia Wanyuan’s lips curled up slightly. “No, Miss Su feels that there’s something wrong with your actions. In that case, let’s go.”

Su Yueran tightened her grip on the gift box. She could not stop Xia Wanyuan now, but she felt indignant if she did not. While she was hesitating, Xia Wanyuan had already walked out of the cafe with Lu Li.

Walking out of the cafe, Lu Li still felt a little guilty. Did I say something wrong just now? Why does that Su Yueran look unhappy?
