Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 743 - 744: Five-Star Praise

"But Sheng, wasn’t there a woman at the last banquet wearing a golden gown and a mask, who you also claimed to be your lover?" Director Rogels asked, puzzled.

He Jinxia chuckled and took the initiative to reply, "Because I am also an actor, a public figure, I deliberately wore a mask to show off on purpose. It was inconvenient to reveal my identity to so many people."

Director Rogels liked the phrase "show off" and laughed heartily, "Girl, you did the right thing, a man has to be fought for!"

He followed up with another sentence, still in high spirits, "Of course, if one day Sheng betrays you, you should also feel free to throw him away without any hesitation."

Sheng Yan, seeing their amicable conversation, suddenly felt a bit irritated, though he would never admit that he was jealous, and began to issue a veiled request for departure:

"Ross, if you came to see me for a reason, say it. If there’s nothing else, then please don’t disturb my rest."

Director Rogels shrugged and gave He Jinxia a weird, comical smile, one that belonged to an aging man’s sense of humor.

He Jinxia pursed her lips slightly with a soft smile and walked out, leaving the space to them.

Once He Jinxia had left, the communication between the two men became much more relaxed.

Director Rogels winked at Sheng Yan, "I thought you’d be bored alone in the sickroom, but here you are, hiding a beauty in a gold house, with a lovely lady adding fragrance to your sleeve!"

Sheng Yan tugged at the corner of his mouth, expressionlessly saying, "Congratulations, your Huaxia language has improved a lot."

Director Rogels smiled and, seeing that Sheng Yan didn’t want to talk about matters of the heart, changed the subject:

"I’ve settled the problems that arose in the crew, and I’ve talked with every single journalist. They won’t leak the news of your injury. Even if they have to, it would be with our permission, as they’ve already signed a confidentiality agreement.

In your Huaxia language, everything is set, we’re just waiting for the east wind—the only thing we lack is you, the leading man, coming to the set to film!"

Director Rogels was a seasoned enthusiast of Huaxia idioms, fluently using them better than even native Huaxia people.

Actually, Sheng Yan didn’t want to start filming so soon. He Jinxia rarely had no appointments and had put aside everything to keep him company, and he wanted to stay with her as well.

However, Director Rogels had started shooting this movie in April, and after nearly four months, he estimated that it would end in another one or two months.

What was most important was that Director Rogels had focused on the martial arts scenes in the beginning, and the most significant part of those was shot in Country Y.

Besides, he had completed the more challenging martial arts scenes, the most difficult being the one where he hopped around on a steel bridge.

This scene he had successfully conquered, and the following martial arts scenes were not as intense, with more drama scenes to come.

Filming drama wouldn’t physically injure the body much, and by the time the dramatic scenes were finished, his body would probably be mostly recovered, enough to handle the less intense action scenes.

Sheng Yan frowned in contemplation; everything seemed to match up well, and his professional ethics wouldn’t allow him to continue to delay Director Rogels.

Originally, he had planned to rest continuously until entering the crew to film in August, seven days later.

Now that Director Rogels had personally come to ask him to return to shooting, he couldn’t be too willful and simply refuse.

A big production lost money every day, a delay meant burning through millions in funding, and after a long hesitation, Sheng Yan slowly nodded.

Although he agreed, he couldn’t join the crew immediately, Sheng Yan said, "I can’t leave until the day after tomorrow."

Director Rogels’s face flashed with joy as he nodded eagerly, "No problem!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

He had prepared himself for a fruitless return, but he hadn’t expected Sheng Yan to agree. Sheng Yan truly was a superstar of fine quality, someone to be recommended to other old buddies!

Five-star rating, highly recommended!!

Elsewhere, outside the hospital room, after He Jinxia went out, she had a call with Luo You.

"Rescue 5 Hours starts filming tomorrow, and your physical condition doesn’t allow you to participate in such an intense reality show. Therefore, I’ve turned it down for you. The production team has already found another star to replace you upon your suggestion."

He Jinxia nodded, a gleam of thought in her eyes as she blurted out, "Actually, Brother Luo, although I can’t be a regular guest, or an invited guest to record one or two episodes, I could be a special cameo!"

The more she thought about it, the more feasible her idea seemed.

"When fighting fires, there’s always someone who gets hurt, right? Couldn’t I be a military doctor accompanying them, ready at their side for rescue?

Even if I can’t be a doctor, I could play other roles. After all, this reality show simulates various scenarios during a fire, followed by targeted firefighting.

Couldn’t I play someone calling for help, or a trapped person, waiting to be rescued?"

Luo You initially nodded, finding the suggestion plausible, but his expression darkened as he listened further, urging,

"You’re not fully recovered yet, and you want to play a trapped person? If we really use realistic simulations, you would have to be trapped in a fire waiting for rescue. What if there’s an accident?

With your previous physical condition, I believed you could escape danger, but now that you’re sick, you shouldn’t take such a big risk."

He Jinxia nodded rapidly like a pecking chick, "Okay, Mommy Luo."

Luo You: "..."

What kind of nickname is that!

After pondering a while, Luo You returned to the topic, "If you really want to make a cameo in ’Rescue 5 Hours,’ it’s not impossible, but the program starts filming tomorrow. When can you join the crew?

The first episode is due out in August, and nobody knows what it’ll be like. If the show flops spectacularly without making a splash, it’s very possible the subsequent filming can’t be completed.

Or maybe the show airs with decent reception, but you suddenly get a new movie in August, and if you take it on, who knows if you’ll have time to join ’Rescue 5 Hours’ then..."

All the scenarios Luo You mentioned could very well happen. He Jinxia thought it through carefully, and if she were to choose the safest time to shoot, it would be best within the next few days.

She heard Luo You’s voice in her ear, "Also, because you haven’t updated your Weibo these past few days, there have been news stories in Huaxia about your car accident, and netizens and fans are very concerned about you.

Although Tonghua Entertainment has clarified that you’re in very good condition right now, since you haven’t posted on Weibo, many people still don’t believe it. They’re all waiting for your response.

You could respond and at the same time promote ’Rescue 5 Hours,’ which might result in unexpected effects."

Just thinking about it got Luo You excited.
