Listening to Yan Keyi's understanding of the character, Hu Yiming was stunned. On one hand, he was a little tipsy and not thinking clearly, and on the other hand, Yan Keyi's understanding surprised him.

Hu Yiming was surprised that Yan Keyi's understanding of the character was the closest to his own when he was creating the role.

Before the script was first presented, Hu Yiming discussed it with many of his friends and colleagues. Although everyone has their own interpretation of Hamlet, only Yan Keyi truly understood the character of Liang Weiqing and shared the feelings he wanted to convey to the world.

Moreover, Yan Keyi just referred to herself as "I," which shows that she put herself in the role and saw things from her own perspective, further demonstrating her profound understanding of the character.

At that moment, Hu Yiming felt deeply grateful that he had extended an olive branch and that Yan Keyi had accepted it.

Although Liang Weiqing is not the main character, Hu Yiming has a feeling that the character will come alive and become popular under Yan Keyi's interpretation.

"What a perfect example of someone who is both pitiful and a guide. Ms. Yan, I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks we'll create when the movie officially starts filming."

Hu Yiming laughed heartily and poured himself another glass of wine to toast Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi.

He knew they were two girls and hadn't allowed them to drink, but he did it as a sign of respect.

After dinner, the three parted ways. Jiang Ning agreed to bring Yan Keyi to take her makeup photos the day after tomorrow.

On the way back, Jiang Ning could easily tell that Yan Keyi was in a good mood.

"Is Yiyi happy today?"

As Jiang Ning walked, he tilted his head to look at Yan Keyi.

Yan Keyi seemed to be waiting for Jiang Ning to ask the question. As soon as she did, Yan Keyi happily talked about how proud she was that her opinion had been recognized by Hu Yiming.

Jiang Ning didn't really understand the characters' roles, but she could see the passion in Yan Keyi's eyes when she talked about those things.

That was something the previous Yan Keyi didn't have.

Therefore, Jiang Ning was very glad that he encouraged Yan Keyi to do these things, and Yan Keyi seemed even more vibrant.

Seemingly having a goal in mind, Yan Keyi didn't insist on going to Jiang Ning's company with her the next day. While Jiang Ning left for work, Yan Keyi would stay home and read scripts. Before Jiang Ning returned, Yan Keyi would prepare dinner, waiting to eat with her. After Jiang Ning came back, she would tell her what she had done that day and what new things she had understood while reading the script.

Jiang Ning, too, was experiencing for the first time in a long time the feeling of having someone waiting for him at home after get off work.

Yan Keyi is going to have her costume fitting photos taken tomorrow. After much deliberation, Jiang Ning still felt uneasy about letting Yan Keyi go alone, so she took a day off from work. She will accompany Yan Keyi tomorrow.

The two were not familiar with each other, and when they arrived at the filming location, a large crowd had already gathered.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? Do you even know where you are before crowding in here?"

Hu Yiming has a very good reputation in the industry, and many people audition for "The Long Spear" because of his name.

Although there were many groups, and not everyone's photoshoot was directed by Hu Yiming himself, most people arrived quite early in order to gain his favor. It was truly rare to see people like Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi arriving right on time.

The entertainment industry is known for its tendency to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak. In addition, Yan Keyi and Jiang Ning were both unfamiliar faces, and no one recognized them. So when they appeared, some people came over to ridicule them.

Of course, the main target of their mockery was Yan Keyi. After all, Jiang Ning looked cold and aloof, not someone easily bullied.

Who are you calling unsophisticated?

Yan Keyi is wearing the same old dress Jiang Ning wore when she bumped into Hu Yiming that day.

Although the production team would provide costumes and props for the costume fitting photos, Yan Keyi specially chose this dress after reading the script, as it best suited Liang Weiqing's image.

Before she left home today, she had already tried to align herself with Liang Weiqing.

Yan Keyi only realized later that Hu Yiming thought she was suitable for the role of Liang Weiqing, which might be related to the dress she wore that day. So today, she wore the same dress over.

Furthermore, Yan Keyi only learned later that Jiang Ning had designed the dress herself, selected the fabric, made the pattern, and cut and sewed it herself for her graduation ceremony. For Jiang Ning, this was more of a commemorative piece than a monetary one.

This is the first time Yan Keyi has felt so angry that someone has said she looks unfashionable in this dress.

Although Jiang Ning was happy to see Yan Keyi display a variety of emotions instead of appearing lifeless, she was mindful that they were newcomers and that she didn't want Yan Keyi to make enemies or get into arguments on the very first day. So she pulled Yan Keyi back and protected her behind her.

At the same time, Jiang Ning also sized up the woman opposite him who was mocking them for being unsophisticated.

After all, she was going to be working with Yan Keyi, and Jiang Ning had already done some preliminary research on who was in the crew.

This person is Li Ying, one of the four most popular young actresses right now. She has a high profile and her acting skills are decent. She plays Jiang Ping, the third female lead, in "The Long Spear." They probably thought they were minor characters because they were unfamiliar with the actresses, so they came over and bullied them.

Looking at her outfit, all designer brands, as if she wanted to have the words "I'm expensive" engraved on her body, Jiang Ning felt that she was somewhat low-class.

Although Yan Keyi's clothes were her designs from two years ago, considering the salary her company offered her right after graduation, and her net worth, Li Ying might not be able to afford her designs.

"It's not just about being expensive that makes something good."

Jiang Ning glanced at Li Ying sideways and said something indifferently.

Jiang Ning's nonchalant demeanor seemed to mock her as the one who was truly unsophisticated. Li Ying was almost furious, but when she saw Hu Yiming walking in this direction from afar, she suppressed her anger.

Given her status, it's entirely possible for the two minor characters to make things difficult for her once filming officially begins.

But if Hu Yiming sees her stirring up trouble at this critical juncture and incurs his displeasure, then it would be a loss for her.

Jiang Ning could guess some of Li Ying's little schemes, so she deliberately led Yan Keyi towards Hu Yiming under Li Ying's gaze. And Hu Yiming was indeed there to find the two of them.

While Yan Keyi was discussing role-related matters with Hu Yiming, Jiang Ning took the opportunity to glance back at Li Ying's face, and as she expected, her expression was very unpleasant.
