In the past few days, the main scenes were the dialogues between the male and female leads.
The two got together under unfavorable circumstances. Later, as the situation stabilized, the male lead met his white moonlight again, the character played by Wen Meiling.
Gu Sisi stood in the corner, watching the male lead and the second female lead act. They met in a coffee shop. The always elegant second female lead firmly attracted the male lead. His heart, which had calmed down with the stability of his family, began to stir.
The male lead's emotions changed greatly, and Ouyang Xin played the role very well. The director kept nodding in satisfaction in front of the camera.
And that second female lead, after seeing her, Gu Sisi was very sure that she was the eldest miss of the Wen Group, the same Wen Meiling who had caused trouble at her wedding.
For some unknown reason, or by some means of the Wen Group, the previous news had been quickly removed. Now most people still didn't recognize her.
They all thought she was just a newbie in the entertainment circle.
Perhaps the character fit her very well, as they were both privileged young ladies. So she didn't show any clumsiness in front of Ouyang Xin.
Gu Sisi listened to the praise around her.
"This newbie is quite good!"
"Indeed. She's much better than the newbie who joined the group some time ago."
"But she's the second female lead. She must have some skills."
"The second female lead? I heard the second female lead has a background."
...
Their conversation went further and further. Gu Sisi didn't listen anymore. It was nothing more than the rumor of someone joining the group with financial backing.
What bothered Gu Sisi was that the usually strict director also seemed very satisfied with Wen Meiling and kept nodding.
The scene that was originally planned to take half a day was finished in just two hours.
"Thank you all for your hard work." the stagehand said to everyone.
The people in the shed dispersed. Gu Sisi had left long ago. She was sitting in the workshop in a daze, proofreading the script for tomorrow.
The script from yesterday had been taken away by the director. He had read it and then distributed it. So Gu Sisi hadn't directly encountered Wen Meiling.
She heaved a deep sigh. It was really a narrow path for enemies.
She could only hope to avoid meeting Wen Meiling for a while longer. Gu Sisi continued to be busy, praying in her heart.
Gu Sisi deliberately chose a later time to send the script over.
It wasn't Ouyang Xin who came to pick it up today. Gu Sisi only caught a glimpse of a side profile before handing it to his staff.
She took a deep breath. Now she only had one script left, the one for Wen Meiling who had just joined the group.
There must be staff in the lounge!
Gu Sisi prayed in her heart. Standing at the door, she finally raised her finger and hesitantly knocked a few times.
The door opened quickly. Gu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the face.
She didn't recognize this person. That was a good thing!
"What's up?" the person asked.
Gu Sisi was just about to speak. But then she was afraid that Wen Meiling was inside and would recognize her voice. So she lowered her voice and said, "This is the script for tomorrow. Could you please pass it on to Miss Wen?"
"Okay!" The person understood Gu Sisi's purpose, took the script, and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Gu Sisi nodded and left without looking back.
"Xiaoying, who is it?" Wen Meiling was doing her hair. She had been waiting for a long time and Xiaoying hadn't come back yet. She shouted loudly.
Just as the door closed, Xiaoying was the assistant assigned to Wen Meiling by her father.
"It's the person who brought the script." Xiaoying walked over quickly.
Wen Meiling took the script with half - done hair, glanced at it, and asked in confusion, "The script? Who brought it?"
Saying that, she opened the door and looked around. She only saw a figure disappearing around the corner.
The back view seemed familiar. Wen Meiling murmured.
"Probably the screenwriter." Xiaoying said uncertainly.
The next day, Wen Meiling had very few scenes and was sitting aside to rest.
"Miss, that's the person." Xiaoying's voice sounded.
Wen Meiling opened her eyes suddenly and looked over. It was Gu Sisi, the woman who had snatched her man.
Her fingers curled up slightly. She wished she could go up and strangle her. However, she wasn't as impulsive as before.
Gu Sisi was listening to Huang Fangjuan explain the script to her. These were experiences that couldn't be learned from books. Gu Sisi was very grateful after listening. The director was also there, and the two were discussing the script.
Hearing Huang Fangjuan explain so seriously to the little girl behind her, the director was a bit surprised.
"Yo, Juanzi, is this your apprentice?"
Huang Fangjuan and the director were classmates. They had called each other like this when they were in school. Now they had been old friends for decades.
They knew each other well.
"More or less. She can be considered my apprentice." Huang Fangjuan said vaguely.
The director knew at once that Huang Fangjuan was very satisfied with the girl beside her. So he encouraged her and said, "Little girl, let me tell you. If you miss this chance, there won't be another one. You should recognize Sister Juan as your master earlier, or else someone else will snatch her away!"
It was impossible for someone to snatch her away. But the key words in this sentence were "earlier". Recognize her as your master earlier.
Gu Sisi never thought that Sister Juan would be willing to take her in. So she nodded vigorously and said, "I'm willing to worship Sister Juan as my master."
She was very sincere and knew that what the director said was true. If she missed this chance, there wouldn't be another one. No matter how good their relationship was, if they weren't in a master - apprentice relationship, Huang Fangjuan could only teach her for a while.
But after becoming an apprentice, it would be different.
"Yo, since that's the case, you have to invite me to the apprenticeship banquet!" The director didn't expect that with just a bit of teasing, things would be settled.
Huang Fangjuan had this intention in the first place and had no objection.
"Sure!" Sister Juan agreed and said to Gu Sisi, "You also have to invite this uncle. If you're short on money, just buy him a box lunch."
Gu Sisi would really be the host of this apprenticeship banquet. Sister Juan probably thought that as a newbie, Gu Sisi didn't have much money, so she gave Gu Sisi a way out.
"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely invite you all." With these words, the matter was completely settled.
As for the apprenticeship banquet, it was just a gathering and a formality.
All this fell into Wen Meiling's eyes intermittently.
Although she was far away and couldn't hear what they were saying, she was very sure that the person from yesterday was Gu Sisi!
"Screenwriter..." Wen Meiling narrowed her eyes and murmured.
...
The intermission ended quickly.
Gu Sisi glanced at Wen Meiling who was about to start filming and quickly slipped to the corner.
She wasn't ready to meet Wen Meiling yet.
"1, 2, 3, action."
The actors got into character.
This scene was about the second female lead's inner feelings after meeting the male lead. After a series of small things, the second female lead decided to follow her heart and pursue him.
Wen Meiling recited her lines: "He's still as good as ever, and he seems to have matured a lot. But he already has a wife. What should I do?"
"Cut!" The director shouted to stop and said to the actor, "Pay attention to your expression and character. You're supposed to be in a dilemma. Don't show a ferocious expression. Do it again!"
"Sorry." Wen Meiling smiled gently, like a delicate flower.
The director nodded and they started again.
When Wen Meiling recited her lines again, Gu Sisi suddenly felt a chill down her back.
