On the film set, it was unusually quiet all around, and one could even faintly hear the hustle and bustle of cars and crowds.
Joynowas lying quietly on the empty ground downstairs. There was a pool of bright - red blood behind her head. She thought to herself that at least she didn't have to say any lines when playing a corpse. They had been shooting this drama for a whole week. They shot during the day and continued at night. She only had three to five hours of rest. She had been facing the scripts and talking all day long, and her throat had long felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, the extras playing on - lookers, forensic doctors, policemen, and reporters all arrived on the scene. The on - lookers were watching and whispering. The police started an investigation on the deceased, and the forensic doctor covered the body with a white cloth.
Luo Yize made his entrance. One could see tears welling up in his eyes. When he saw Joyno lying there stiffly, he gradually got into the role. He began to cry loudly and shouted the name of Joyno's character in the drama heart - rendingly.
He had a dialogue with the policeman played by an extra, then walked up to the body and squatted down.
In the whole scene, the body was taken away like this, leaving only Luo Yize kneeling on the ground for a long time.
...
"Cut!" The director hit the clapperboard, with a look of joy on his face.
Joyno immediately wriggled out from under the white cloth. The first thing Hou Lei said when he saw Joyno was, "Great screenwriter, you're really amazing! I think you're more suitable to be an actress now."
Joyno was actually not confident at all. "Stop talking!"
"Hey, anyway, if this drama is broadcast, not only will your idol become well - known, but you'll also be a highlight."
Although Hou Lei's words were true, it was completely beyond Joyno's expectation that someone like her who couldn't act could perform so well.
The actors, the director, the producers and other staff members left the film set one after another.
Thankfully, Joyno had finished shooting her part.
What was left was the conflict between Luo Yize and Ye Xuan, which would be easier to shoot. After Luo Yize learned that his mistress Feifei had committed suicide by jumping off a building, he developed the intention to kill Ye Xuan. So he staged a locked - room murder case. Since Ye Xuan suffered from schizophrenia after losing her child and had to take medicine every day, Luo Yize took advantage of her inattentiveness and put a slow - acting poison in her medicine. As a result, Ye Xuan lay motionless in bed as if she were sleeping, and the door was locked from the inside.
In this part of the drama, it emphasized that when the female protagonist was looking for the family - heirloom snuff bottle, she discovered this old case that happened twenty years ago. The character played by Ye Xuan was the female protagonist's close relative. After committing the crime, the murderer disguised himself and became the female protagonist's boss, hiding under the female protagonist's nose for twenty years.
When they finished work, Luo Yize invited Joyno to have dinner at a teppanyaki restaurant on a street.
When the beef was fried and cut into pieces, Joyno was about to pick up her chopsticks, but Luo Yize blocked her with his chopsticks.
"Yino, let me help you."
Luo Yize gave the extra part to Joyno and only ate five pieces of beef himself.
Joyno looked at the cut - up beef on her plate. "I can't eat so much. Let me give you some."
"No way. Filming is so tiring, and the food in the crew doesn't suit your taste. You should eat more."
"I... I'm on a diet these days..."
Just as Joyno was about to push two pieces of meat onto Luo Yize's plate, Luo Yize pushed her hand away.
Luo Yize said with a smile, "You eat. I mainly wanted to bring you here. Actually, I'm not that interested in these things."
Joyno hesitated for a while, then looked at the dishes that hadn't been served yet according to the note. She seemed to think that, based on her usual appetite, a serving of beef and a plate of fried noodles would be enough.
But she didn't expect that besides the beef and fried noodles, there were also two expensive and substantial dishes.
How could Joyno afford such a meal?
At this time, the chef finished cooking the fried noodles and served them in front of them.
"Sir, could you... could you remove one dish?"
"Why, miss?"
"Because... we've had enough."
"Hahaha, I've already prepared everything. How can I remove a dish? Besides, looking at your slender figure, your boyfriend ordered these for you for your own good. You can't let down his kind intention..."
What? Boyfriend?
Joyno became extremely embarrassed.
When did she and Luo Yize become boyfriend and girlfriend? Was it because of the news?
Moreover, judging from the age of the teppanyaki chef, he was at least in his forties or fifties. The people who knew Luo Yize were mostly students of her own age or even younger.
So, a person of the chef's age was unlikely to know who Luo Yize was.
But Joyno was very puzzled. Why did he think they must be a couple?
On the street, just because a man and a woman go out together, they are not necessarily a couple, nor a husband and wife, let alone mother - son or father - daughter. In this era, not to mention those with only a few years' age difference, an eighty - year - old man might date a woman in her twenties. That's why there are sibling romances, sister - brother romances, and even grandfather - granddaughter romances.
She was just about to explain when Luo Yize nudged her and said to her, "It's okay. If we can't finish it, we'll pack it up. I can heat it up and eat it for lunch tomorrow."
"That won't do!"
"Sure it will. I'm used to eating like this."
