Chapter 61: Wrap Party

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After an autumn rain, the temperature in Beijing plummeted.

At the wrap party of “The Great Wall of War”, the director drank a few more glasses of wine and was already a little drunk. He raised his glass and shouted, “Wish our ‘The Great Wall of War’ would become popular next year!’

“A popular drama booking!

“The viewership champion!”

“Views over 100 million!”

In the fanatical atmosphere, Lu Zhen also raised her glass with a faint smile. Suddenly, she sensed a cold and malicious gaze. She turned around and saw Lu Rou staring at her, as if she wanted to eat her up.

Lu Zhen smiled at Lu Rou indifferently. Her smile was victorious and looked condescending, making Lu Rou so angry that she almost smashed her cup.

After the wrap party ended, the main leads of the production team gathered together to take a photo. Before Lu Zhen could stand firm, a pair of hands pushed her hard. “Move! I want to take a photo with Brother Song Xiao!” With that, Lu Rou pushed Lu Zhen away roughly.

The director also realized that something was wrong and hurried over. “Lu Rou, what are you doing now?”

Seeing that the director was about to stand up for her, Lu Zhen waved her hand and smiled calmly. “It’s fine, Director. I’ll stand beside you.”

When Lu Rou heard that Lu Zhen had actually given in, she was a little surprised. She was originally prepared to fight with Lu Zhen and arrange for someone to publish a draft to slander Lu Zhen for bullying the supporting actress at the wrap party.

The previous public opinion made Lu Rou understand something. Although Lu Zhen was much more popular than her, at the same time, Lu Zhen had many more enemies than her.

Those female celebrities of the same status as Lu Zhen were all afraid that Lu Zhen would step on them and climb up. The fans of those female celebrities also hated Lu Zhen for always suppressing their idols under the topic of “competition between looks of female celebrities”.

Therefore, as long as Lu Zhen had any dirt on her, many people would seize the opportunity to slander her!

This was the cruelty of the entertainment industry. The red carpet paved by money and applause was actually a silent and cruel battlefield. Countless bright and beautiful celebrities had fallen in this competition. Only those with the strongest means could have the last laugh.

Therefore, Lu Rou understood that sometimes, she did not need to deal with Lu Zhen personally. As long as she kept causing trouble for Lu Zhen, someone who also hated Lu Zhen would naturally stand up and help her deal with Lu Zhen.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhen did not argue with her. She just stood quietly beside the director.

The photographer asked everyone to get into position. Lu Rou immediately held the male lead’s arm and smiled sweetly and innocently. The two of them were in an intimate position, as if they were a real couple.

From the corner of her eye, Lu Zhen saw the intimate position of the two of them. She could already imagine what the netizens would say after the photo was posted.

Actually, the male lead, Song Xiao, and Lu Rou were not close.

Song Xiao was a newcomer that Bai Hua Entertainment had made famous in the past few years. Although he had been very popular recently, his foundation in the entertainment industry was not stable because he had fewer works.

There was never a short-lived newbie in the entertainment industry. If there were no works, these newbies would quickly be replaced and quickly forgotten by the audience and netizens.

Bai Hua Entertainment also understood this principle, so they fought for the best film and television resources for Song Xiao.

“The Great Wall of War” was a heavily invested period drama. It was well-made, and the female lead, Lu Zhen, was an extremely famous female celebrity in the country. With Lu Zhen around, the ratings of this drama would definitely not be low.

Therefore, Bai Hua Entertainment spent a lot of money to get Song Xiao into the production team. In addition, Song Xiao was also very hardworking and his acting skills were not bad, so he successfully got the male lead role.

When Lu Zhen first came to the production team, Song Xiao’s attitude towards her was a little fawning. He always gave her all kinds of snacks and fruits.

Lu Zhen had been in the entertainment industry for so long, so how could she not understand what Song Xiao meant? Bai Hua Entertainment probably wanted him to play couples with her, so Song Xiao deliberately got close to her.

However, Lu Zhen had been in the industry for many years and had become famous with her works and ability. She did not want to be in a relationship with any male artist, so Lu Zhen’s attitude towards Song Xiao was very cold.

Lu Zhen’s coldness greatly hurt Song Xiao’s pride. After that, he never looked for Lu Zhen in private. Instead, he got closer to Lu Rou.

It was unknown if Lu Rou had deliberately hooked up with Song Xiao, or if Song Xiao wanted to take revenge on Lu Zhen, or if Bai Hua Entertainment wanted Song Xiao and the supporting actress to become a couple and attract the audience’s attention in another way.

The entertainment industry was always so confusing. Lu Zhen did not know what others were thinking, and she could not be bothered.

She just had to be the best she could be..
