128: Naza: We know each other, we're just good friends!
On the other side, Naza also arrived at the Film Crew.
This was her first time filming a movie arranged for her by Chen Le, and Chen Le was also there overseeing the Film Crew.
As soon as she walked into the Film Crew, Naza tried to look for Chen Le's figure.
However, Chen Le was currently discussing matters with Gang Zi, so she didn't see him.
At that moment, the few female actresses in the Film Crew saw Naza.
They immediately walked up to greet her.
“Hello, are you Naza?” Chen Zihan took the initiative to step forward and say hello.
Seeing this, Naza looked at Chen Zihan somewhat blankly because she didn't know them.
“And you are?”
Seeing this, Chen Zihan immediately introduced herself.
“My name is Chen Zihan, I'm also an actress in the Film Crew.”
Beside her, another beautiful girl spoke up: “My name is Yang Xue!”
Hearing this, Naza nodded and replied with a smile: “Mm, I'm Naza.”
Having made two friends on her first day arriving, she was in a pretty good mood.
Soon, after all the preparations were completed.
The Film Crew began filming.
As the TV series began filming, Naza also became busy within the Film Crew.
Lingyin Temple was the filming location for the Film Crew. Every frame was shot on-site, and even the pilgrims were real people who had come to offer incense.
Looking at the bustling Lingyin Temple with its flourishing incense, Naza remarked on how many people there were. Her scenes were finished, and she was watching the others film.
As the latest scene finished filming, it was time for a break.
A group of actors chatted as they walked.
Naza could hear them all discussing Brother Le.
After all, with Chen Le's current fame, it was hard for them not to talk about him.
Even Benny Chan and the others had come to the Film Crew specifically because of Chen Le's reputation.
Otherwise, if it were any other unknown director, they wouldn't have even bothered.
“Director Chen's directing level is truly impressive; he really lives up to being a Great Director who could film the first Chinese-language film with a one billion box office.” Benny Chan said as he walked with Gao Hao, Zhang Liangliang, and the others.
His tone was full of admiration for Chen Le.
“Yeah, I hope one day we can collaborate with Director Chen too,” Gao Hao remarked from the side.
Although Chen Le was overseeing living buddha ji gong, the director of this show was Director Xu Gang. While he watched from the side, he only occasionally guided the actors and Gang Zi on how to film.
“Let's perform well in this show and leave a good impression on Director Chen. Maybe when Director Chen has a new project later, he'll think of us,” Zhang Liangliang said with a smile.
“What you said makes sense!” Lin Zicong nodded with a smile from the side.
“If we can catch Director Chen's eye, we might just take off. Look at Wang Baoqiang, didn't he just take off? He used to be an Extra, and now he's suddenly an A-list actor,” Benny Chan said with some envy.
Hearing this, Gao Hao and the others also showed expressions of envy.
Wang Baoqiang's life was truly a reversal, from a grassroots commoner to a famous star; the speed of this transformation was simply unimaginable.
On the other side, Naza walked toward the Film Crew's break area with Chen Zihan and Yang Xue.
These were the new friends she had made; the three of them walked together, chatting as they went.
The Film Crew's location wasn't inside Lingyin Temple itself, but near it.
“Naza, is your relationship with Director Chen very good? I've seen Director Chen coming to find you quite often these past few days,” Chen Zihan suddenly asked with a smile, her eyes full of curiosity.
Being asked this, Naza didn't react for a moment and was stunned.
But she quickly snapped out of it and hurriedly explained her relationship with Brother Le.
“Sister Zihan, Brother Le and I are alumni; he's my senior. We know each other, but we're just ordinary good friends.”
Hearing Naza's explanation, Yang Xue and Chen Zihan glanced at each other, both seeing the amusement in the other's eyes. Clearly, neither of them quite believed they were just simple good friends.
However, they didn't dare say these thoughts out loud. After all, offending Naza was one thing, but they were afraid of offending Chen Le; that wouldn't end well for them.
“I see!” Chen Zihan nodded.
“Then Naza, don't you have any feelings for Director Chen?” Chen Zihan couldn't help but tease.
“Director Chen is young, handsome, and wealthy! If we were a bit younger, we might have fallen for Director Chen too,” Yang Xue chimed in from the side.
Naza blushed at their words, and at the same time, she felt a bit flustered.
Could they have noticed something?
In reality, the two hadn't seen anything specific; they just felt that Naza seemed to like Director Chen, but they couldn't tell if Director Chen was interested in Naza.
But Naza was somewhat panicked and hurriedly said, “Don't talk nonsense, Brother Le and I are just good friends.”
Seeing this, Chen Zihan and Yang Xue didn't continue to tease Naza.
On the other side, a scene had just finished filming.
Chen Le didn't go to rest. Instead, he sat in a corner talking to Gang Zi.
“Gang Zi, your progress speed is quite fast,” Chen Le praised.
However, in the next moment, his tone shifted.
“However, it's still lacking quite a bit. After all, filming a TV series isn't like the web series you've filmed; the directing techniques required for this show are much higher.” As Chen Le spoke, he began to explain to Gang Zi how to film a TV series.
The directing team currently filming living buddha ji gong was the one Gang Zi was most familiar with—the same team that had filmed unexpectedly.
After all, this directing team was the most compatible with Gang Zi and had great chemistry.
After guiding him for a while, Chen Le also went to rest.
In the evening, after the night scenes were finished, work was over.
Benny Chan, Gao Hao, and the others wanted to invite Chen Le out for a meal.
Hearing this, Chen Le hesitated for a moment and then said, “Sure, but with just us few, it's a bit small. Why don't we invite more people?”
Benny Chan and the others nodded at this.
So they invited Chen Zihan and the other women, and Naza was among them.
Gang Zi was also called over.
After all, with so many people invited, it was impossible not to call him.
They arrived at a restaurant, and Chen Zihan and the other women were quite happy.
Because they had originally planned to eat boxed lunches, they hadn't expected someone to treat them.
At the dinner table, Benny Chan and the others toasted Chen Le and Gang Zi to build their relationship.
After all, for men, there's nothing more effective for building rapport than eating and drinking together.
And Chen Zihan and the others, caught up in the atmosphere, also took a few small sips.
After the meal, several of them took a taxi back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Chen Le felt his head was a bit groggy.
As a result, he went into the wrong room and ended up in Naza's room.
Looking at the drunk Chen Le, Naza was somewhat helpless and could only let Chen Le lie on her bed.
Fortunately, the hotel had things like hangover soup, so Naza ordered one for him.
When the hangover soup was delivered, before she could feed it to him...
Chen Le rolled over and pinned Naza down.
Naza tried to get up, but unfortunately, Chen Le was too heavy and her strength was too small; she couldn't break free.
“Brother Le, wake up.” Naza tried to wake him.
But in the next second, she let out a soft exclamation of surprise.
