Entertainment: This is a super top star from Earth.

Chapter 46 Liu Qingqing

"Don't worry, I'm filming a TV series here, so my schedule can be adjusted. As long as Director Zhang can also adjust my schedule a little, it should be fine," Ye Mengxi said to Zhang Zeyan.

"Okay, I'll talk to Director Zhang about it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zeyan went to Zhang Ermao's office again.

"Senior brother, we've secured the investment," Zhang Zeyan said to Zhang Ermao.

"We got it? That's great!" Zhang Ermao was overjoyed to hear that they had secured investment.

"We managed to get them to cooperate, but they have one condition," Zhang Zeyan added.

"Conditions? What conditions?" Zhang Ermao asked.

"It's the investor who wants to play the female lead in our movie."

"The female lead?"

Upon hearing that the other person was to play the female lead, Zhang Ermao immediately frowned.

"Zeyan, you know that the female lead in our movie is very important..."

"I know, senior brother. I haven't even said who's going to invest in our movie yet, what's the rush?" Zhang Zeyan said with a smile.

Upon hearing Zhang Zeyan's words, Zhang Ermao immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Ye Mengxi. I wonder if you've heard of her, Senior Brother?"

"Hiss! You actually know Ye Mengxi? And you even managed to get investment from her?" Zhang Ermao looked at Zhang Zeyan with surprise and a strange expression.

"Didn't I get accepted into the Southern Metropolis Film Academy this year? I took the exam with Zheng Xinyao. Ye Mengxi is Zheng Xinyao's friend, and then Zheng Xinyao introduced me to Ye Mengxi." Zhang Zeyan briefly explained the situation.

"I see. So you know Zheng Xinyao, and you two are on good terms?" Zhang Ermao asked Zhang Zeyan.

"It's alright." Zhang Zeyan nodded.

"I think the female lead should ideally be around the same age as the male lead. How about you try getting some investment from Zheng Xinyao?"

Upon hearing Zhang Ermao's words, Zhang Zeyan immediately rolled his eyes at him.

"Senior brother, that's enough. Ye Mengxi has already agreed. If I turn around and go to Zheng Xinyao now, wouldn't that be reckless?"

"I was just saying that," Zhang Ermao waved his hand.

Then he changed the subject, saying, "Since Miss Ye Mengxi is willing to invest, you should have him come to Water Blue Star as soon as possible. Let's try to sign the contract quickly so the crew can start filming sooner."

"Okay, I'll call her in a bit." Zhang Zeyan nodded.

A short while later, Zhang Zeyan called Ye Mengxi.

However, it would take Ye Mengxi about a week to get here from the interstellar region.

Ye Mengxi still needs time to come, but Zhang Zeyan and Zhang Ermao are not going to wait any longer. They decided to start filming as soon as possible, first shooting the scenes without a female lead.

In addition, Ye Mengxi became the female lead, so Zhang Ermao kicked out the female lead he had previously chosen and made her play a supporting role.

In addition, Zhang Zeyan added a few characters to the revised script, so Zhang Ermao handed the task over to the assistant director, asking him to audition a few suitable new actors.

However, before Ye Mengxi arrives, Zhang Zeyan still needs to get the special effects company sorted out.

So Zhang Zeyan called his aunt and asked her to help him register a special effects company.

……

"Cut! Excellent! Zhang Zeyan, you acted very well. Are you sure this is your first time acting?"

On set, after filming a scene, Zhang Ermao couldn't help but praise Zhang Zeyan.

"Senior brother, I had two weeks of instruction from teachers at the Southern Metropolis Film Academy before I came here," Zhang Zeyan said with a smile.

"You can develop this kind of acting skill in just two weeks?" Zhang Ermao was clearly somewhat incredulous.

"What else? I have a photographic memory," Zhang Zeyan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ermao thought for a moment and then gave him a thumbs up.

"That only proves that you are incredibly talented..."

Next, the entire crew continued filming.

Each time, Zhang Zeyan's scenes went relatively smoothly, and he basically didn't make many mistakes.

The other actors made the most mistakes, which greatly annoyed Zhang Ermao, causing him to curse at the drop of a hat.

If it were a TV series, these actors' acting skills would be sufficient, but in a movie, especially one that Zhang Ermao strives for perfection, their acting skills are somewhat lacking.

"Zhang Zeyan, your acting is so good! Director Zhang scolded all of us, but you weren't scolded at all."

On set, during lunchtime, a young woman in her early twenties leaned close to Zhang Zeyan and whispered something to him.

This beautiful woman is Liu Qingqing, the actress who was originally cast as the female lead by Zhang Ermao but later became a supporting actress.

Liu Qingqing is a student at Lantian Art Academy. She is very beautiful and looks somewhat like Tian Xiwei from Earth.

Of course, if she weren't pretty, Zhang Ermao wouldn't have chosen her.

She is not only beautiful, but also has some acting skills.

Of all the new actors, he was the one who received the least criticism from Zhang Ermao.

Of course, the reason why Zhang Zeyan wasn't scolded by Zhang Ermao was not only because Zhang Zeyan's acting skills were good, but also because he was an investor in the film.

Apart from the 50 million invested by Zhang Ermao himself, the rest of the investments were related to Zhang Zeyan.

Therefore, even if Zhang Zeyan didn't film well, Zhang Ermao would just smile and ask him to reshoot, instead of scolding him.

"That vixen, she's always hanging around Zhang Zeyan, she's shameless."

Not far away, some female staff members from the film crew saw Liu Qingqing talking to Zhang Zeyan and immediately began to speak in a sarcastic tone.

They did want to get closer to Zhang Zeyan, but they were all ordinary people with average looks, and they simply didn't have the courage.

On set, whenever Zhang Zeyan was filming, the surrounding area would be packed with onlookers, especially female staff.

From the first day Zhang Zeyan appeared on set, all the female staff members never took their eyes off him.

Especially the makeup artists on set; even just applying a light layer of makeup to Zhang Zeyan would take more than ten minutes.

Furthermore, when Zhang Zeyan changes clothes, female staff members sometimes take the opportunity to grope him.

To make the film even more perfect, Zhang Ermao spared no expense in purchasing the best costumes.

Some of the outfits looked very cool, but they required help to put on, which led to Zhang Zeyan being occasionally groped.

However, Zhang Zeyan didn't say anything, because the staff only touched his pectoral muscles and didn't do anything else, like the monkey stealing peaches.

While the crew was filming non-stop, a week quickly passed.

A week later, Ye Mengxi finally returned to Water Blue Star.

"Sister Xi!"

That afternoon, outside the space elevator, Zhang Zeyan personally picked up Ye Mengxi.

"Hey little brother, you've gotten even more handsome since I last saw you." Ye Mengxi's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Zeyan, her expression as if she had spotted her prey.

"Come here, you little rascal, let your big sister give you a kiss..."
