After Transmigrating Into a Male Idol Talent Show

Chapter 225 - 226

225

The filming location is in the northern film and television city.

On the first day of shooting, Qin Lu wore a long down jacket and participated in the opening ceremony with the crew, burning incense and praying for smooth filming. The efforts paid off.

In the entire crew, Qin Lu had only briefly met director Zhang Chenzhang during the audition, as well as Yan Linxiu, who served as both an investor and a lead actor. Other actors Qin Lu met were experienced and knew how to socialize. Qin Lu, as the male second lead, was not treated as a newcomer when shaking hands.

With over twenty years of acting experience, Yan Linxiu was familiar with such fixed procedures like eating and drinking. Being over forty, Yan Linxiu was no longer constantly concerned about his image in front of the camera. It was understandable that he left his beard unkempt for the role, but his lack of attention to grooming was evident, unlike the youthful female lead, Ming Ziyun, who was energetic and striving for perfection.

However, because the investment he put in was genuine, Yan Linxiu was much more serious when bowing to the Guan Old Master with the incense in his hand, showing sincerity and reverence.

The opening ceremony was held on an auspicious day, and it ended quite early. Standing beside Qin Lu, Ming Ziyun, who hadn't had a chance to speak a few words, sighed and carefully scanned him with eyes that Qin Lu initially didn't quite understand. Then, she extended her hand with a hearty smile, "I didn't expect to work with you. I'm Ming Ziyun."

Qin Lu sensed the implication in her words; she probably knew about him.

At twenty-eight years old, Ming Ziyun looked no different from a fresh graduate. With her ponytail neatly tied, simple and brisk makeup, and even a sense of heroism, she was well-suited to play the rookie police officer she was going to portray.

Before becoming an actress, Ming Ziyun was a professional fencer, so she was quite agile in fight scenes as well.

She was obviously the type who was not shy and very outgoing, especially when facing someone she liked. She explained with enthusiasm, "I really like talent shows. During 'Infinite Youth,' I voted for you."

This indeed caught Qin Lu by surprise. He originally thought Ming Ziyun knew about him because of "Journey to the Immortal Mountain" or "Leaping Horizon."

With this connection established, although they were meeting for the first time, the initial sense of unfamiliarity and distance dissipated quickly.

Despite being ten years older than Qin Lu, Ming Ziyun didn't seem much different in age, and there wasn't a significant generation gap in their conversation.

"When I received the script, I never thought I'd have the chance to act alongside you," Ming Ziyun joked about herself being a twenty-eight-year-old playing a twenty-one-year-old. However, she was confident in her acting skills.

"I know you're a professional on stage, but acting is different. If you're having trouble getting into character, you can practice with me beforehand."

"Singing, dancing, and acting are all work in front of the camera. Just relax."

Ming Ziyun was very kind. Qin Lu had just finished filming "Journey to the Immortal Mountain," which had not yet aired, and she thought Qin Lu, being a newcomer, would be nervous shooting a movie for the first time.

The first scene of "Suspension Bridge Effect" was the confrontation between Qin Lu and Ming Ziyun.

That's why, before the official shooting started, Ming Ziyun encouraged Qin Lu and told him he could ask her anything if he had any questions.
