Chinese Entertainment 2014: Young Actresses Are Becoming Dazzling

Chapter 61 The Tomb Raiders' Chronicles Crew

Su Yu leaned closer to Li Yitong and gave her a tight hug.

"I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself!"

There was a hint of longing and relief in Li Yitong's eyes, but she finally smiled heartily.

"I know! Keep going! I'm waiting for you!"

……

After a brief reunion, the old friends had to embark on their own journeys again. After saying goodbye to Li Yitong, Su Yu went straight to the filming location of The Lost Tomb.

The morning light of the capital shone through the car window. Su Yu leaned back in his seat, watching the poplar trees and gray buildings rushing past outside the window.

The film crew was in the outskirts of Beijing. The further they went, the less urban the atmosphere became, replaced by vast open spaces and the undulating shadows of mountains in the distance.

More than an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Zone C of the film and television base.

This is a specially constructed studio set, with several huge sound stages connected together. The exterior walls are painted with the Tomb Raider logo and a few powerful calligraphy characters against a bronze background.

A row of film crew vehicles were parked at the entrance, and several staff members were busy unloading equipment from a truck.

As soon as Su Yu got out of the car, Tangyuan, who was waiting at the door, came to greet him:

"Boss, you're finally here!"

"Those directors wanted to have dinner with you yesterday, but you pulled a fast one. Let me tell you, another director besides Zheng Baorui, Law Wing-cheung, has quite a few complaints about you. You'd better watch out later!"

"I know, he's not going to eat me, is he?"

Su Yu smiled faintly. Tang Yuan pulled Su Yu toward the makeup area while excitedly telling him how much he had earned by getting this role.

The mere presence of Lu Han guarantees the show's massive success, and Su Yu, who plays Zhang Qiling, one of the souls of "The Lost Tomb," will undoubtedly reap the rewards.

As long as the acting skills are guaranteed, coupled with Su Yu's good looks and Lu Han's popularity, the timing, location, and people are all perfect!

Little Tangyuan was so excited last night that she couldn't sleep. This incredible fortune had just been poured over Su Yu's head. She could already imagine how popular Su Yu would be after the show aired.

Then the resources will surely come to me in abundance! I won't have to run around worrying anymore! Hehehehehe~

Just thinking about this makes Tangyuan smile like an idiot.

"Hey, I'm not just a pretty face, okay? We're more like a mutually beneficial relationship!"

"Yes, yes, you're quite the talent!"

The two strolled slowly to the cosmetics area. After leading the way, Tangyuan left to attend to other matters. Before Su Yu could even take a look, a figure rushed over like a gust of wind.

"Su Yu!!!"

Dilraba wore a loose white T-shirt with sleeves that covered half of her hand, tight denim shorts, and canvas shoes. Her hair was casually tied in a ponytail.

Especially those long legs, they exude an irresistible youthful energy.

Dilraba's "Su Yu" radar is quite sensitive. As soon as Su Yu appeared, she immediately jumped over like a happy little deer, her face full of barely suppressed excitement, like a good friend meeting again after a long summer vacation.

"Why are you taking so long?! I've been waiting here for ages!"

Reba stopped the car in front of him, looked up at him,

"Do you know that the whole crew has been discussing who will play the role of Xiao Ge these past few days!"

Some say a newcomer has been parachuted into Guangxian, others say it's a stunt double from a martial arts background who's been promoted, and still others speculate it's an idol who came from a talent show.

As she said this, she pointed to Su Yu's chest: "So it was you! Su Yu!"

"I never expected that we would meet again so soon."

"Yeah, I was surprised too. Your sister is really good to you. She takes you everywhere she goes," Su Yu said to Dilraba with a hint of teasing.

"That's right, Sister Honey is so good to me."

Dilraba admitted without any shame, "The lead actor in this drama is Lu Han! Sister Mi said I should come and get a share of the soup, so she got me a small role."

As she spoke, she practically bounced slightly in place, her ponytail swinging back and forth.

"Alright, let's get back to you, Su Yu! You're actually playing Zhang Qiling?!"

"Yes, Zhang Qiling."

"Has anyone said you're really perfect for this role?"

"Nonsense, if it wasn't suitable, would I be the one to do it?" Su Yu rolled her eyes at this silly girl, but she seemed oblivious, excitedly continuing to speak:

"I really want to ask, how did they find you? How did they find such a perfect person? Waaaaah!"

"That's a long story, maybe we'll have to wait and see..."

"Reba!"

A familiar voice, tinged with a hint of languor, came from the direction of the photography studio.

Su Yu looked up and saw Yang Mi walking towards him.

She wore a well-tailored black trench coat over a simple white T-shirt and jeans, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and sunglasses perched on her nose.

She took off her sunglasses, and her fox-like eyes sized Su Yu up and down, with an indescribable look in them.

"Good morning, Honey Sister." Su Yu smiled at her.

"Tsk, brat, you're here?"

Yang Mi walked up to him and stopped, crossed her arms, tilted her head to look at him, and had a half-smile on her lips.

"Just a few months ago I was working as an extra in Hengdian, and now I'm in a big project for Huanrui Guangxian. They really keep surprising me."

Su Yu looked into her eyes and grinned foolishly: "I haven't forgotten you, Sister Mi~"

Yang Mijiao snorted and said again:

"Tell me, how did you get this role?"

"Well... that's a long story..."

Su Yu recounted everything from beginning to end.

"So you mean, after seeing the rough cut of 'Left Ear,' and thinking your image and action scenes were decent, they decided to make the decision after you did a short audition?"

"this one?"

"That's it!" Su Yu nodded.

Yang Mi looked at him suspiciously, trying to find a clue in that overly upright face.

Of course, nothing was found.

She stared at Su Yu for a long time, a subtle fluctuation flashing in her eyes that had seen countless people.

She remembered the first time she met Su Yu in Hengdian. He was just a sunny, cheerful young man who could make people laugh and be witty. Although he was indeed very good-looking, in her eyes he was just a promising newcomer who could be recruited into her company.

But now, the person standing in front of her is completely different from the one she saw a few months ago...

In just a few months, he went from being an extra to a key project for Huanrui, and from a special guest star to Zhang Qiling, a role personally approved by Wang Changtian.

This rate of growth cannot be explained by mere luck.

It's really unpredictable. Her biggest regret now is that she didn't bring Su Yu into Jiaxing when she first met him.

After "The Lost Tomb" airs, Su Yu's resources are already foreseeable.

At that time, will he still be unmoved by the conditions she offered?

Yang Mi subtly turned her gaze to Dilraba beside her.

The girl was looking up at Su Yu, her eyes sparkling, radiating an unguarded adoration.
