Chapter 606: Now This is Life (Part 2)

It wasn’t hard to tell that she was a top-tier beauty.

Even though this place was filled with beautiful extras, someone of Gu Pan’s caliber was truly one of a kind.

Qi Sheng was the object of envy the entire way there. After all, he had several beauties on his arms.

If looks could kill, he would have died a hundred times over.

The set for *Past Life* was, thankfully, very easy to find.

It was a major production, with over a thousand people bustling about inside.

The security guards at the gate were also from Dingtai Security.

“Hello, Boss.”

Qi Sheng smiled and nodded, leading Gu Pan and the others onto the set.

“Who are… Chairman Qi?”

An assistant director saw the strangers enter and was about to frown and reprimand them, but he was suddenly taken aback.

“Just keep working. We’ll just have a look around.”

“This way, please. I’ll go get Director Guo right now.”

The assistant director was a savvy fellow and quickly led Qi Sheng to where they were filming.

He jogged over to Director Guo Hu, who was sitting in front of the monitor, and whispered a few words in his ear.

“Boss.”

Guo Hu quickly stood up and walked over.

He wasn’t tall, and his looks were plain.

His resume, however, was quite impressive. He had worked with Lin Yufen on many productions.

Including *Three Lives, Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms* and *Chenxi Fate*.

But in those, he was only an executive director.

The first show where he was the actual head director was the one currently being filmed, *Past Life*.

Having toiled in the entertainment industry for over a decade, Guo Hu greatly cherished this opportunity to direct on his own.

Countless people had their eyes on a major production like this.

“Just keep shooting. Don’t mind me.”

Qi Sheng smiled and patted Guo Hu’s shoulder.

Guo Hu was one of the directorial talents he had added to Universal Entertainment’s roster.

An ability value of 89 was considered the peak for a first-tier director.

One step further and he would be in the echelon of top-tier directors.

For a television series like this, Guo Hu’s abilities were more than enough.

Although Qi Sheng spoke casually, Guo Hu wouldn’t dare treat him lightly.

Qi Sheng unceremoniously took the director’s chair that had originally belonged to him.

Guo Hu squatted beside him, quietly explaining the scene they had just shot to Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng wasn’t particularly interested in the plot.

But Reba’s look in this series really caught his eye.

With her current beauty value of 95, she was undoubtedly at a goddess-like level in the entertainment industry.

Within the company, she was only slightly behind Gu Pan and Zong Lin.

But in terms of looks, she was leagues ahead of the originally intended female lead, Bai Lu.

“Cut! Reba, that performance was great. Vize, you were good too. Take a thirty-minute break.”

Guo Hu was truly more than satisfied with his two leads.

As a top female celebrity, Reba brought her own buzz.

Her acting had improved so much compared to before that it was almost unbelievable.

And Li Weize, the male lead, was also a tall, handsome young man with great acting skills.

He had the looks, the acting skills, and the height.

He was leagues better than Ren Jialun, the actor he had originally shortlisted for the role.

As for his lack of fame, that would change after this show finished airing.

“Boss.”

Li Weize jogged over and bowed respectfully.

“That was a good performance just now. After this show wraps, the company will give you more resources. Keep up the good work.”

Qi Sheng was quite a bit taller than Li Weize. The latter was only 183 cm tall.

That height is perfect for acting opposite female leads.

With a height like Qi Sheng’s, even if he wanted to act, he wouldn’t be able to find a suitable actress to work with.

After all, at 192 cm tall, any actress opposite him would have to stand on a box.

Li Weize was also an artist that Qi Sheng had added to Universal Entertainment’s roster.

Unlike others in the industry, who are prone to all sorts of scandals.

As a talent provided by the System, Li Weize treated Qi Sheng’s words as gospel.

If Qi Sheng told him not to mess around, he absolutely wouldn’t dare.

With his superior qualifications, it was only a matter of time before he became the new top male celebrity in Chinese Entertainment.

A top celebrity who won’t be caught in a scandal is an incredible asset.

He could earn the company hundreds of millions a year with no risk of scandal.

Qi Sheng wasn’t so inhumane as to forbid Li Weize from even dating.

As long as it didn’t lead to a scandal that affected the company’s interests, everything else was negotiable.

…

Reba was also very happy to see Qi Sheng visiting the set.

But with so many people and prying eyes on set, she didn’t dare to act too intimate.

Someone might secretly take a photo and send it to the paparazzi for a scoop.

“Reba, your sisters are here to see you. Aren’t you happy?”

Gu Pan asked with a grin, linking her arm with Reba’s.

The two stunning beauties standing together instantly made every other woman on the set pale in comparison.

Even Liu Shiwen, who was also a top-class beauty, could only serve as a foil.

“Of course I’m happy! My treat tonight. Order whatever you want.”

Reba waved her hand magnanimously, the very picture of a rich woman.

As for the fights between their fans, what did that have to do with them?

The actions of their fans didn’t represent their own feelings.

As sisters-in-arms, the relationship between Reba and Gu Pan would absolutely make their fans’ jaws drop.

“Then I want to try some Jiangzhe cuisine. It should be pretty good, right?”

“Mmm, it’s not as good as what the chefs at home make, but it’s passable.”

Reba couldn’t help but swallow as she thought of the chefs at Fort Saint Louis.

“That’s easy. Just have my husband arrange for a couple of chefs to be sent to you.”

Gu Pan had no idea how much of a humblebrag that was.

That was the kind of treatment only she received.

“Panpan, you’re too much!”

Reba rolled her eyes at Gu Pan.

She could only dream of getting that kind of treatment.

“Hehe, how about this? I’ll give you an idea. I guarantee it’ll get you the same treatment as me.”

Having laid the groundwork, Gu Pan began her mischievous prodding.

“What idea?”

Reba’s eyes lit up slightly; she was clearly tempted.

“Well…”

After Gu Pan finished speaking, she looked at the stunned Reba and urged, “So, what do you think?”
