Chapter 372 - 372 235

Chapter 372: Chapter 235 Chapter 372: Chapter 235 ‘Amazing, is this not a firm decision to promote Wenyan?’

‘No, we can’t let Wenyan take the lead in this drama. We all have to go and leave messages on the production company’s account. We must get Wenyan replaced. I think several of the top actresses in the industry are suitable for this role, and their star power matches our Xun Letian.’

Xun Letian indeed has a lot of fans. If Shen Jinghe is considered the top influencer among male actors of the same age, then Xun Letian belongs to the third tier, just below Shen Jinghe.

Especially in the last two years, he has starred in two hit series, maintaining a high popularity.

His fans advocating for a change in the female lead are not doing it for fun, because a similar incident has happened before.

Due to fan dissatisfaction, the production was forced to replace an actor right before filming began.

This time, this group of crazy fans intended to repeat their previous success.

The entertainment industry is neither too big nor too small, and with no significant news recently, the topic of ‘Legend of Chang’an’ replacing the female lead quickly hit the hot search.

When Wenyan received this news, Jiang Wanwan’s agent had already clarified the situation.

Her post was very clear and straightforward.

She said that Jiang Wanwan resigned from the role due to personal reasons and that Wenyan was brought in to save the day, for which she expressed her gratitude.

Jiang Wanwan’s fans also accepted this explanation because several super fans encountered her on the day she hurriedly went abroad. When asked if she was going to work, she replied that there was an emergency at home.

Jiang Wanwan’s fans felt that there was no issue with Wenyan taking over as the female lead of ‘Legend of Chang’an’, and so did the production team, but Xun Letian’s fans felt there was a problem.

Even after Jiang Wanwan’s agent had clarified, they remained relentless.

However, Wenyan had long since become immune to such chaotic noise.

Since Jiang Wan’s agent had made the statement, she decided not to engage any further on her end.

Right now, all she wanted to do was to shoot the drama well.

Fortunately, Xun Letian seemed to be a decent person.

During rehearsals, he took the initiative to approach Wenyan.

‘Miss Wen, let’s rehearse our scene. The movements for this part took a long time to discuss and film with Miss Jiang, and we shot it several times to find the most suitable positions. Shall we try it out?’

‘Sure!’ Wenyan rarely refused goodwill, ‘I also feel this doesn’t look easy to film. In our fight scene later, you’ll be cutting in from behind, right?’

‘Yes, just like this!’ While speaking, Xun Letian demonstrated.

After trying it a few times with him, Wenyan confirmed the final motion.

‘Perfect! Let’s do it this way, thank you, Mr. Xun.’

‘No need to thank me. We have a lot of scenes together later on, it’s all part of the job. By the way, regarding some rumors online, I’m not sure if you’ve seen them. It’s some comments made by my fans about you, and I’d like to apologize on their behalf. They clearly have some misunderstandings.’

‘Oh, you mean that,’ to say she hadn’t seen it would have been too fake. She hadn’t expected him to apologize on behalf of his fans either, ‘I’ve seen it, but I think it’s unnecessary to respond, everything that needs to be said has been said by Wanwan. It’s normal for some people to have opinions about the casting of the leads in a drama.’

Xun Letian was very handsome, especially in period costume, which earned him the title of one of the four great period drama beauties according to the internet.

The moment he smiled at Wenyan, even she, accustomed to the Shen Family’s three brothers, was momentarily dazzled.

‘As long as you’re not affected, that’s good. I was worried that our collaboration might suffer. But I think I should guide my fans correctly, to prevent them from continuing with such misunderstandings.’

‘Then…’ Wenyan was curious, ‘How do you plan to do that?’

Xun Letian, however, was playing coy: ‘You’ll find out after we finish shooting.’

Considering she wasn’t very familiar with Xun Letian yet, Wenyan didn’t press further, but her impression of him improved from before.

Indeed, when filming started, their collaboration was very pleasant.

After the shoot, Xun Letian had his assistant bring his phone.

‘Miss Wen, do you mind if we take a selfie together?’

‘Not at all.’ Such requests were all too common on set.

The two quickly snapped the photo.

Xun Letian then asked, ‘How about adding each other as contacts? Would that be okay?’

That was basic practice, and Wenyan didn’t refuse.

It wasn’t until she got back to the hotel that Wenyan realized.

Xun Letian had posted their selfie online.

His caption read ‘Really enjoyed working with Miss Wen, she’s very professional, thumbs up, thumbs up, thumbs up (emoji)’

Upon seeing his post, Wenyan immediately understood his intentions.
