"...That's how it is. Then I went out for a meal with Director Yan and I just got back now."

Xiao He stood in front of Liu Rulan, earnestly explaining the situation, like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

Liu Rulan: "..."

Liu Rulan rubbed her temples helplessly: "Never mind, it's good that nothing happened."

While other families are "discussing plot points" in the middle of the night, these two gluttonous boys are "possessed by evil spirits" in the middle of the night.

Liu Rulan comforted herself, at least she couldn't control her mouth, so she could eat whatever she wanted.

"Some of the actors in the crew have been acting strangely lately, so be careful," Liu Rulan reminded her.

"Not quite settled" means what?

Xiao He asked cautiously.

Have you ever heard of couples on set?

Xiao He: "...I've heard a little about it."

Xiao He had just never encountered this before.

“This crew is a mixed bag, and people are restless. Just focus on your own work. All we can do is stay out of it, avoid contact, and not get involved in any trouble,” Liu Rulan said, arms crossed. “Stay away from those people. The atmosphere on this crew isn’t great, and the management is a bit lacking. Let’s just hang in there for a while longer.”

"ah?"

"The assistant director will be back from outside in a while, and then the rest of the crew should be much more well-behaved."

"Huh? We have an assistant director in our crew?"

Xiao He was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't seen anyone before and thought the "Yu Ye" production team had only arranged for Yan Shaohan to be the main character, but he didn't expect there to be an assistant director as well.

"The assistant director is in charge of filming the storyline before Yu Ye, so we're currently filming at the same film studio we visited last time," Liu Rulan explained.

Xiao He understood.

The film studio they visited last time was used to film the opening scene of Yu Ye, which is an ancient story about a group of alchemists searching for the elixir of immortality and capturing a group of people to experiment on.

The actors in that part of the story were basically from a different group. After all, most of the main characters were still children at that time. It was fine for these actors to play old people, but it would be difficult for them to play children.

Therefore, in order to shorten the shooting schedule and save shooting time, the assistant director brought another group of people to start filming at the same time as them.

Once they've finished filming all the scenes over there, they'll come back and join the filming of the current main storyline.

"What's the deal with that assistant director? Is he able to suppress these monsters and demons?" Xiao He felt a growing sense of anticipation.

Please, someone needs to take care of these people. It's exhausting, both physically and mentally.

"That's probably not going to work out," Liu Rulan replied honestly.

Xiao He: "..."

What's the point of you saying that?

"However, that assistant director used to work in Director Zhuang's crew and was considered one of Director Zhuang's confidants. Although he was not capable enough to suppress others, he had one good advantage over Yan Shaohan: he loved to tattle."

Xiao He: "...Huh?"

Xiao He almost thought he had misheard.

What kind of advantage is that?

He had assumed Liu Rulan would at least mention some useful skills, such as "high emotional intelligence," "good communication skills," and "management expertise"...

And you're telling me his strength is that he's a tattletale?!

Xiao He was speechless, but after thinking about it again, he also felt that this "advantage" was indeed an "advantage".

After all, as a director, it's impossible to go to Zhuang Hongyi to "cry" about everything. So it would be better if an assistant director who is closer to Zhuang Hongyi could "cry" to him.
