"Your emotions aren't in place. Do it again!"
The director, who had been quite satisfied with the actress just yesterday, was now far from pleased.
They shot again and again, dozens of times. Finally, the director got angry and scolded furiously, "What's wrong with this actress? Where's her assistant? Did she not eat yesterday or what?"
Those who knew the director's temper well understood that he was truly enraged this time.
The set fell completely silent. Xiao Ying, standing to one side, was intimidated by the atmosphere and shrank back, saying timidly, "She ate yesterday."
She was telling the truth, but obviously that wasn't what the director wanted to hear. Immediately, his face darkened even more.
Some people couldn't help but lower their heads and stifle their laughter.
However, the actress remained expressionless.
She walked straight up to the director, disregarding his mood, and said seriously, "Director, I think there's something wrong with the lines."
It was the first time someone had told him there was an issue with the lines after the shooting had started.
The director raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the problem?"
Wen Meiling lowered her eyes and stared directly at the director, saying confidently, "I think all the hesitations of my character are completely redundant."
Everyone on the set was shocked. If those hesitations were really redundant, then this scene would be meaningless. So what had they been wasting all this time for?
This was also a kind of negation of the screenwriter.
"Reason?" The director asked with a straight face and no expression.
"If two people have ever been in love with each other, I don't think my character would consider so many things. She would only consider one question, which is whether she wants to be with the male lead or not.
If she does, she'll strive to stay by his side. If not, she'll leave gracefully. Her identity doesn't allow for hesitation."
The director fell silent. This character was indeed a combination of rationality and fragility, and both reactions seemed appropriate.
Everyone fell silent.
"So you want to change the play?" The director broke the silence.
Wen Meiling nodded. "Yes, I want to change the play!"
She said it resolutely, as if she had been dissatisfied for a long time.
This scene was then halted. Gu Sisi didn't mind. After all, experiencing such unexpected events would be beneficial for her future.
Suddenly, she felt a chill down her back. Gu Sisi turned around but didn't find anything amiss.
She really felt like she had encountered a ghost.
Gu Sisi muttered softly.
Wen Meiling half - closed her eyes and let her assistant remove the larger props on her body. She squinted in Gu Sisi's direction.
Don't worry! She would definitely make a fuss. And you won't be able to stay here in peace either.
She squinted her eyes and vowed to ruin her.
Gu Sisi was drinking hot water, thinking that she might have caught a cold.
Huang Fangjuan just pushed the door open and walked in. Gu Sisi looked over and called softly, "Master."
Sister Juan responded softly. It was obvious that her complexion wasn't good.
After what had happened just now, the director had called Sister Juan for a talk. It was easy to guess that it was about the script.
"Change it," Sister Juan finally said.
It was obvious that she was very reluctant. After all, it was her painstaking work, and without sufficient reason, it was being negated. Anyone would feel bad about it.
If this was changed, the subsequent plots that had already been finalized would have to be changed on a large scale. The workload was extremely heavy. So Gu Sisi was taken along by Sister Juan.
Just as she was busy, she suddenly received a call.
Looking at Sister Juan who was seriously reading the script, Gu Sisi tiptoed out and glanced at the caller ID.
"What's up, Qianqian?" The call was from Yang Qian.
Yang Qian's voice on the other end was a bit soft. She said softly, "Sister Sisi, I'm going to travel for a while. Do you want any souvenirs?"
"Ah?" Gu Sisi was extremely surprised to hear this news. Thinking about how busy she was with work and had no time, she was very envious. But it was her own choice, so she had to accept it.
"Where are you going?" Gu Sisi asked.
"I don't know yet. I haven't decided." Yang Qian sounded a bit confused on the other end.
Gu Sisi peeked through the crack of the door at the office. Sister Juan was busy. At this time, she couldn't leave a bad impression on her.
She couldn't waste any more time. So she said to Yang Qian, "Well, after you've decided, just bring me some souvenirs. I'm not picky."
"Okay."
"I'm quite busy with work now. I'll talk to you when I'm free."
"Okay. Bye."
Gu Sisi hung up the phone in a hurry and threw herself back into work.
Due to the accident in the morning, all the scenes for today had to be changed.
In the afternoon, it was a scene of the male and female leads. Sister Juan was burying herself in work and told Gu Sisi to come out and keep an eye on things.
She sat to one side and watched her former idol acting intently. Moreover, she found that the actress playing the female lead was also very good.
Gu Sisi really enjoyed watching. Besides, since Wen Meiling wasn't on the set in the afternoon, she didn't have to avoid her, so she felt really comfortable.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Looking at her phone which had already been set to silent mode, Gu Sisi muttered, "Why is he calling me?"
But she still answered it.
The person on the other end got straight to the point. "Where are you?"
Gu Sisi looked at the caller ID again. It was indeed Jiang Lihao.
"At work."
"Where? I don't see you."
The person on the other end sounded a bit anxious. Gu Sisi was completely confused, but finally told him the address honestly.
Watching Jiang Lihao appear in front of her, Gu Sisi's expression was out of control for a moment.
She hesitated and asked, "You're not here to find Wen Meiling, are you?"
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, Wen Meiling was here. But why did he ask her?
Gu Sisi was standing outside the theater. Jiang Lihao looked around, grabbed Gu Sisi's shoulders, and looked into her eyes. "Where's Yang Qian? Isn't she with you?"
Why would Yang Qian be with her? Gu Sisi had no choice but to tell him something that she hadn't even told Huo Cheng. "I've quit my job. If you're looking for Yang Qian, you'd better go to her company."
As she said this, Gu Sisi's face changed.
She remembered that phone call and suddenly realized. "You're looking for her? But she told me this morning that she was going to travel. I don't know if she's left yet."
Gu Sisi wasn't very sure. She took out her phone and muttered, "I'll ask her where she is for you."
Jiang Lihao looked extremely anxious and didn't dare to interrupt Gu Sisi. He just stared at her phone eagerly.
After waiting for a long time, no one answered the phone on the other end until a prompt sound came.
Gu Sisi shook her head helplessly. "She probably isn't near her phone. Maybe she's busy with something. Anyway, she's definitely not with me."
Her tone was sincere. Just as she was about to turn around, Jiang Lihao grabbed her.
"Sister - in - law, please help me." Jiang Lihao pleaded.
From the moment she heard that he was looking for Yang Qian, Gu Sisi had sensed something was wrong, but she wasn't sure. Now she was 100% certain.
She squinted her eyes. "What on earth happened between you two?"
Jiang Lihao briefly told her what had happened and then shook his head despairingly. "She won't even answer my calls now. I thought I'd give her some time to calm down, but I never expected her to disappear."
"Scumbag!" Gu Sisi scolded after learning the truth.
