Ye Yingying didn't have many scenes today, and since she was practically trained by Yu Shishu, her acting skills were almost entirely honed by his guidance. As the scenes progressed, she found her footing better and better, and Ye Yingying's growth was almost visible to the naked eye. The change from playing Yingzi to becoming Yingzi herself was something that everyone in the crew could see.

Her scenes today all wrapped up very quickly.

The agency didn't arrange anything else for her, so Ye Yingying read books and did exercises in the common lounge.

When the assistant director arrived, Ye Yingying was reviewing her mistakes. She was diligently working through the box of senior high school practice books she had brought. The assistant director disliked studying, and his academic scores had always been his biggest headache during his art college entrance exams. Seeing Ye Yingying carrying such a large box of books and working hard on them made his scalp tingle, as if he had returned to the fear of being dominated by his senior year of high school academic subjects.

He was terrified, but as an elder, he could only try to appear approving. He coughed and said to Ye Yingying, "Little Ye."

"Teacher Cai?" Ye Yingying stood up and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with my scene just now that needs to be reshot, or do we have to do it all over again?"

Assistant directors usually approach Ye Yingying based on one of these two situations.

The assistant director also thought that Yu Shishu had approached Ye Yingying because something was not filmed well. Although he felt that Ye Yingying, who was not from a professional background, could be described as talented for reaching such a level, it was hard to say that Yu Shishu had higher expectations for her.

After all, Yingzi is one of the few very important female characters in the drama, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the female lead.

When the two arrived at the filming location, Yu Shishu was holding a camera and looking around for the right feeling. Finally, he fixed the camera on Ye Yingying. He asked the assistant director to take the actors to get into the right feeling first, and then asked Ye Yingying to come with him because he had something to ask her.

"Director Yu?" Ye Yingying asked tentatively.

She and Yu Shishu had spent quite a bit of time together on set, but she still found it difficult to grasp Yu Shishu's personality. She was always very tactful and diplomatic. Apart from Yu Shishu, almost everyone on the set liked Ye Yingying and spoke highly of her, except for Yu Shishu.

Everyone felt that Ye Yingying had made great progress. Such acting skills were not only a gift, but also a talent that many artists could never possess in their entire lives.

Attitudes have changed a lot; once people accept someone, they are more tolerant of her.

Unlike Yu Shishu, he was always very strict with Ye Yingying. Even when Ye Yingying was doing well, he told her that he only wanted her to be at her best.

He would be even stricter with Ye Yingying than before. During filming, Yu Shishu would get angry and say some really harsh things, even the assistant director couldn't stand it. But after filming, Yu Shishu would specifically ask Ye Yingying to come over and give her detailed guidance, a treatment that no other artist received.

Everyone else thought that Yu Shishu noticed Ye Yingying's talent because he was eager to discover it, but Ye Yingying herself vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"Your sister Ye Zhiwei is studying at Yenching University... right?" Unable to speak a coherent sentence, Yu Shishu gripped the script tightly. He tried to build up his emotions and appear as serious as usual, but once he left the film set and let Ye Yingying go with him into the private dressing room, he couldn't keep up the straight face.

Despite her deliberately lowered tone, Ye Yingying still noticed Yu Shishu's bright red ear tips.

"Yes." Ye Yingying asked with a smile, "Is there anything I can help you with, Director Yu?"
