Chapter 228 According to the agreement, a total of 37 overdue payments have been made in recent days
As the year draws to a close, everyone in every industry is busy trying to meet their performance targets, and paparazzi are no exception.
Yan Zhuoyu has just won two awards in a row and is currently enjoying great popularity. As a female celebrity with unique beauty, she is a hot commodity in the eyes of paparazzi.
If they could uncover explosive news like her romantic relationship, they could use that information to blackmail her and make a fortune. Even if they couldn't reach an agreement, the exposure would greatly boost their own fame.
However, the paparazzi followed her for several days but didn't get any photos. After returning to Beijing from Guangzhou, Yan Zhuoyu went straight to the set of "No More Pretending, I'm a Billionaire" and didn't even go home.
The main reason is that someone is still in Germany on business and he's not home, so there's no need for Yan Zhuoyu to go home. It's better to stay in a hotel, which is also convenient for filming.
Qiao Xinyun initially accepted this role for Yan Zhuoyu because she wanted her to relax. The script was novel, and with luck, she might even win an award.
After the successful conclusion of the opening ceremony, Yan Zhuoyu gradually became close with the members of the new production team.
In the crew, apart from the actor who played the protagonist's uncle, who was a bit older, almost everyone was a young person who had just graduated. They were all innocent and guileless, so Yan Zhuoyu found it easy to get along with them and they had a lot in common.
This is a group meal that the crew had just finished filming.
Director Lin Sidong invited her before she won the award. The fee was low. After learning that she had won the award, he sent his congratulations immediately and was glad that he had acted early.
Lin Sidong clinked glasses with Yan Zhuoyu and said, "It's fortunate that you agreed to play this role in my script, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do. Some friends even suggested that I change the main character's setting."
He sighed half-jokingly and continued, "These days, very few female celebrities are willing to dedicate themselves to comedy, especially actresses as good-looking as you. Is it because you're too concerned about maintaining a good image?"
Yan Zhuoyu smiled and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that opportunities are relatively scarce. Currently, there are too many stereotypes about women. People always think that only fat girls are funny, and they always link a woman's sense of humor with her marriage prospects."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a disdainful sneer from the person next to her.
This middle-aged actor is named Zhuang Yuwen, an old-school comedian. He usually looks down on the stuff these young people do, and if he hadn't been unable to get roles in recent years, he wouldn't be bothered to come here and play house with a bunch of kids.
Zhuang Yuwen deliberately made things difficult for Yan Zhuoyu, asking disdainfully, "Then, Ms. Yan, do you think you have a sense of humor? Can you handle this comedic role well?"
Yan Zhuoyu glanced at him.
The other person's words were barbed, so she didn't need to be polite: "In terms of humor, I can't compare to Professor Zhuang. You make people laugh as soon as you open your mouth, which is truly admirable."
"As for whether I can handle this role, I will give it my all and do my best to portray it. But we've only just started filming, and Ms. Zhuang already has this question about me. Is she dissatisfied with the director's casting?"
Lin Sidong, being a shrewd person, seized the opportunity to ask, "Professor Zhuang, why don't you share your thoughts? Since everyone is here, we can discuss any issues together and make corrections together."
He didn't mean to bully Zhuang Yuwen; in terms of fame, Yan Zhuoyu far surpasses Zhuang Yuwen.
Moreover, this is a script about a super-rich man, and there are many middle-aged male actors suitable to play the uncle, but very few are willing to play the female lead. What's more, this time the dispute was initiated by Zhuang Yuwen.
Zhuang Yuwen's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and chuckled dryly, "Haha, I was just joking, don't take it so seriously."
After that, Lin Sidong quickly changed the subject with a few words.
This was his first film as a director, but he handled problems very proactively, replacing the actors directly to avoid disrupting the relaxed atmosphere on set.
The tense and oppressive relationship between the actors in this comedy film was extremely detrimental to the filming process.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, the director gave everyone a day off. Pei Weijin returned to China, and Yan Zhuoyu naturally went home as well.
villa.
The butler had prepared dinner in advance, and before leaving, he didn't forget to turn on the stereo and play some lyrical piano music.
Yan Zhuoyu walked out of the bathroom and stood on the stairs, where she could see Pei Weijin in the restaurant.
Too lazy to walk downstairs herself, she leaned against the railing, her white silk nightgown draped smoothly down to her calves.
"Honey, can I carry your baby downstairs?"
Yan Zhuoyu waved to him, her fingers slender and white as jade. The pink jade bracelet on her wrist slipped a section off with the movement, making her appear even more serene.
"alright, please wait."
Pei Weijin put down the grape juice in his hand, quickly went upstairs, and effortlessly picked her up in his arms.
Yan Zhuoyu wrapped her arms around the man's neck with satisfaction: "Honey, you're so good to me, give me a kiss."
When she kissed Pei Weijin on the cheek, she deliberately made a "pop" sound.
Her fair and shapely calves swayed gently to the rhythm of the music.
Suddenly, Pei Weijin stopped in his tracks.
Yan Zhuoyu asked in confusion, "Hmm?"
Pei Weijin then began to show his businessman's nature, trying to gain more benefits for himself: "One kiss is not enough. You can only go up one flight of stairs. I need five kisses before I can carry you to the restaurant to sit down."
"Really?" Yan Zhuoyu deliberately teased him, "Then let's owe it to him for now."
The man readily agreed: "Okay, sure."
Yan Zhuoyu was somewhat skeptical. Why was someone being so agreeable today?
After she was carried to the dining table and sat down, she heard Pei Weijin say slowly in her ear:
“I looked at your schedule; you have nearly twenty days of vacation. According to our agreement, you owe a total of 37 kisses during these days, and the four kisses you just owed count as two. During these twenty days, you only need to repay twice a day, and you can even rest one day in between.”
