Cao Xuan went to Europe for vacation in early February and did not come back until half a month later. The main reason was that many people were busy and it was impossible to play with him all the time.

Everyone left one after another, and the atmosphere was deserted. The Cao Xuan family found it boring to play by themselves, and after half a month it was considered fun, so they simply went home.

When Cao Xuan returned to the capital, before he could even sit down, a hot search on Weibo revealed a photo of him and Zeng Li visiting the Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona.

The photo was taken by a British paparazzi. It is said that he was traveling with his girlfriend, but he discovered Cao Xuan. He used the excuse to take photos of his girlfriend, but actually took the opportunity to secretly take photos.

Because he was more careful, and because it happened to be a tourist attraction at the time, everyone was taking photos, so Cao Xuan didn't pay special attention, and a few photos were taken.

The photo was actually nothing. It was just Cao Xuan taking a photo of Zeng Li. The two were walking side by side. Cao Xuan helped Zeng Li get his bag and water, chatting and laughing. Other than that, there was nothing too intimate.

Cao Xuan has a cautious personality and rarely shows too much intimacy outside.

But even so, a man and a woman travel abroad together, take photos and carry bags, and behave in a relaxed and understanding manner. These topics are enough to make the people happy.

The British paparazzi directly published the photo in the "Sun", and then it was forwarded by domestic media, and it quickly became the top trending search topic.

Cao Xuan himself didn't take this matter to heart before, and it's not like he hasn't been photographed before, but he's just lucky.

Hu Jing was busy with remote work that day, while Xiao Cao Li was tired from all the hard work and fell asleep in the hotel. The two took the opportunity to come out of their own world.

Otherwise, it would be easy to explain that the three of them were traveling together, but if they were photographed with their children, it would really be a big deal.

Cao Xuan followed the old rules and treated it coldly, neither admitting nor denying it, and just waited for the heat to pass.

Zeng Li is in a bit of trouble. This semester has just started and she has to go to school.

"How about... taking a day off?"

"Why please? I don't even know how to ask."

Empress Xigong glanced at Cao Xuan, the culprit, and couldn't help but sigh.

I went to school to report in September last year, and went directly to film "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" without two days of classes.

She didn't return to school until the end of the year. Before the students were fully recognized, it was time for winter vacation. She went to Europe to play and took a few days off when school started after the new year. She was really embarrassed to open her mouth again.

"What should I do?"

Cao Xuan was a little innocent: "How about I simply announce my relationship on Weibo? I will announce the 'breakup' after a while."

"Then I really don't want to go to class."

Zeng Li rolled his eyes again. Cao Xuan was rumored to have four celebrities, but he has not admitted to a girlfriend so far.

As the subject of scandals, even if the scandal is bigger, it is still possible that she has passed away. If it is officially announced that she is the first girlfriend, I am afraid that her photos will be published on the global news page, and those days of peace will be completely gone.

As an actor, Zeng Li's career ambitions are Buddhist, but he doesn't object to being popular, but that doesn't mean he wants to be so popular.

The former is famous for her work, which allows more people to know her. She can still gain peace by keeping a low profile and bid farewell to the exposure. If she is involved in the gossip about the king's girlfriend, then there is no way to stop.

Zeng Li had experienced such days several times. He was harassed so much that he instinctively resisted this kind of life.

Cao Xuan was glad that he didn't hold the child that day, and Zeng Li was even more so. Her girlfriend felt that she couldn't bear it. If she were the mother of the child, she could just resign from the school.

"It's time for you two to abandon me and go out to play. You must be punished."

Hu Jing was gloating at the side. It wouldn't matter if she and Cao Xuan were photographed. Anyway, the outside world basically thought that their relationship was ambiguous, which was just to add insult to injury.

Hu Jing, who is in the entertainment industry and has retreated behind the scenes, doesn't care about this. On the contrary, Empress Xigong is more concerned about being a role model.

Zeng Li ignored her and called the teacher he knew to inquire about the situation. As expected, there were already a large number of paparazzi ambushing nearby.

Hearing this, Cao Xuan shook his head: "It's better to ask for leave. To avoid the limelight, just tell your leader that I have accepted a new drama. If it doesn't work, I will tell him."

"Let me do it."

Zeng Li had no choice but to find the leader's phone number and dialed it. The other party probably heard the letter and agreed readily without saying much.

Empress Xigong breathed a sigh of relief, and then curiously asked: "It's really a show, we can't deceive the leader."

"Really."

Cao Xuan took his laptop and called up a script: "Originally I wanted to just invest, but I think you are quite suitable. Take a look at the script. If you want to act in it, we will film it ourselves."

Hearing this, Zeng Li opened the computer file and saw two words "Sword Rain" written clearly in the title of the script.

It took more than ten minutes for Zeng Li to finish reading the outline and some related settings, and then looked at Cao Xuan.

"Do you want me to play Zeng Jing?"

"Well, this role is the core of the whole movie, and you must play it. However, it is quite difficult to play this role. I don't worry about you in acting, but in acting..."

Cao Xuan hesitated to speak, which was obviously to question Zeng Li's fighting ability. Empress Xigong was not convinced, she raised her brows and said with a hint of arrogance.

"Please go to Weibo to see who is the one who cut off countless actresses' martial arts dreams with a stunning sword, and who is the most beautiful Li Mochou."

Cao Xuan gave her a thumbs up to express his admiration. Zeng Li's words were really not a compliment. Although he didn't film many fighting scenes, his performance was so stunning and impressive.

Recently, many media have taken stock of martial arts actresses. In addition to the older generation of Xiangjiang people, Zeng Li, who is the most popular international star in mainland China, is often on the list.

Moreover, Zeng Jing's actual fighting scenes in "Sword Rain" don't have many, they are mainly literary and dramatic, and I think Empress Xigong can handle them.

"This script is really interesting, but the eunuch at the end is a bit outrageous."

While the two were chatting, Hu Jing also read the script and raised a question.

The setting of Rama's body in the movie is so awesome that even if it is immortal, the result is that the severed limbs are reborn, allowing the old eunuch to regain his little brother.

"It's not outrageous. For eunuchs, any hegemony or immortality is just a lie. Living a thousand years without a little brother means suffering."

Hu Jing was stunned and thought for a long time, but she was still speechless. You can say that this setting is unexpected or even outrageous, but you cannot say that this setting is illogical.

If it is difficult for eunuchs to understand, for example, if Rama's body can make people invulnerable, there must be many people who are even crazier and crueler than Chakravartin...

"Have you decided who will play this Zhang Asheng?"

Zeng Li looked at Cao Xuan expectantly. Boss Cao wanted to say find someone else, but looking at her eyes, he swallowed his words.

"Looking at the director's needs, I might be the one to take the job."

"It's great, we can film together again."

Zeng Li was very happy, and Cao Xuan's originally hesitant mind was instantly settled.

He had never thought of acting in this movie before. Although the script was good, he had already acted in the "Xiu Chun Dao" series of martial arts movies and was not very interested in martial arts movies.

In addition to "Let the Bullets Fly," which he has already accepted, Cao Xuan's next movie is to make another commercial blockbuster that will hit Hollywood.

But seeing Zeng Li looking at him expectantly, his heart softened.

The two of them actually filmed very few scenes together, and the one who really played the role of husband and wife was probably Yin Susu and Zhang Cuishan from "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".

Hu Jing and Cao Xuan were all partners or couples in "When Men Are in Love", "New World" and "Painted Skin", and they also became comrades in "Hurricane Rescue 2".

In contrast, he and Zeng Li had just filmed "Xiu Chun Dao 2" together, and they were in a hostile state most of the time.

So even if Cao Xuan had no plans to star in this movie, he immediately changed his mind the moment Zeng Li looked over.

You can just watch the blockbusters, but making money is not as important as coaxing your wife!

Zhang Ah-sheng in "Sword Rain" is considered to be a second film, but Cao Xuan has also been a green leaf in "Painted Skin", and it is not shameful to praise his own daughter-in-law.

He planned to recruit Fan Xiaopang to play the role of the young girl, the one played by Big S in the original version.

Zeng Li acted as a co-star for her twice in "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire", so it's time for Fan Xiaopang to come back.

Moreover, the scenes in "Sword Rain" are more group portraits, and this character is also very unique, so it is not embarrassing for Fan Xiaopang to play it.

But now there is a difficulty. According to the script setting, both Zeng Jing and Zhang Asheng are in the state of having their faces changed.

In the movie, in order to live a quiet life, the two people deliberately changed their faces to "normal faces". They just didn't know how to put on makeup to make Cao Xuan and Zeng Li look "normal".

There is the idle man Cao Tianwang on the street, and the country woman Zeng Meiren.

And if these two faces are "normal", who should be chosen to play the two people before the face change.

However, this issue is not something that Cao Xuan is worried about. When he learned that Cao Xuan was starring in the film, Su Zhaobin, the director of "Sword Rain" who was dropped from the sky, fell into the worry of happiness.

The worry is that the script may require some control, and Boss Cao is known as a drama tyrant, so a young director like him may have to be subject to a lot of control.

Happiness is that the works starring Cao Xuan have not failed to hit the market so far. Having him join "Sword Rain" is like a safety lock. If by chance it becomes a big hit, he will be prosperous.

Didn't you see that Mr. Xu has collaborated with him on several films and has become the number one director in Hong Kong? Chen Kexin has also escaped from the predicament and become a hot super director in the film industry today.

The most illustrative person is undoubtedly Lin Chaoxian. He became famous in "Taken" and became a second-rate director in Hong Kong. Now he is vaguely trying to make an impact in Hollywood.
