“Miss Luo Xi, how do you find it? The character of the female lead is quite strong-willed. Do you think you can handle it?”
The director approached and asked.
He observed Luo Xi, who appeared delicate and lacked acting experience, so he was concerned about whether she could take on this role.
Luo Xi didn’t want to make any guarantees, feeling a bit awkward as she replied, “I’ll do my best.”
Hearing this, the director sensed her uncertainty, so he suggested, “You can try rehearsing with Zhou Xun. He has more acting experience and might help you find some inspiration.”
Luo Xi looked over at Zhou Xun.
Chu Mei was talking to him there. They were both smiling, clearly enjoying their conversation.
“Chu Mei may not have much experience either, but she’s from the acting department, so she adapts quickly. Plus, she’s very eager to learn. She actively seeks out seniors for discussions and has made great progress. You might consider trying that too,” the director proposed.
Luo Xi nodded at his words. “Got it, thank you for the advice, Director Zhou.”
Seeing her openness, the director felt a bit more favorable toward her.
After finishing his conversation, he went over to Zhou Xun, presumably discussing her, as both Zhou Xun and Chu Mei glanced at her several times.
Once the director left, Zhou Xun approached Luo Xi.
The stylist was currently working on Luo Xi’s hairstyle. Since the female lead had short hair and looked heroic in the early stage, she was mistaken for a man.
Coincidentally, the optimistic male lead became like a brother to her, and then the relationship slowly developed. Anyway, the interaction between the two was very sweet.
Since it was a campus drama, overly dramatic scenes weren’t allowed, but there would still be kissing scenes, which Luo Xi refused. Mi Ke had also informed the crew beforehand to use a stand-in.
The director just assumed that Luo Xi had a bit of a cleanliness obsession, so he didn’t think much of it. After all, it was common in the entertainment industry for people to use stand-ins.
Because Luo Xi had so much hair, putting on the wig was quite challenging. The stylist took a long time to get it right.
In the end, this delicate and refined boy, even Zhou Xun, who had no interest in men, couldn’t help but be amazed.
Indeed, beautiful looks could make anything work.
These days, many boys had very delicate and feminine features, so Luo Xi’s look was not surprising at all.
“Hello, Miss Luo.” Zhou Xun was also dressed in a school uniform. Although he was around 25 or 26 years old, he still looked like a university student and appeared very young.
“Just call me Luo Xi.” Luo Xi smiled lightly and shifted her gaze from the script.
“Alright, if you don’t mind, you can call me Zhou Xun or Brother Zhou.” Zhou Xun smiled. His personality was relatively steady and mature, yet his face looked very young.
It seemed the casting team was very serious about their choices.
“Okay, Brother Zhou, this is my first time acting. Please guide me in the future.”
“It’s not really guidance. We can help each other and grow together,” Zhou Xun replied modestly with a smile.
Luo Xi hadn’t heard much about this person before, so it seemed he wasn’t very famous. Although he looked sunny, he lacked a distinct feature, making him somewhat unremarkable.
“How long have you been in the industry, Brother Zhou?” Thinking of this, Luo Xi couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Me? About five or six years. I feel a bit ashamed to say that after so many years of debuting, this is my first role as a lead. I haven’t had many opportunities.” Zhou Xun let out a bitter smile.
