Yan Keyi and Jiang Ning met on a rainy night. Abandoned and disdained by her parents in the first half of her life, after meeting Jiang Ning, she became the top star in the entertainment industry u...
The two cuddled together for a while before getting ready to head to the film set.
As soon as I opened the door, I found Xiang Yun waiting outside.
"Sister Ning, Coco, you're finally up!"
Xiang Yun was really anxious waiting outside. She was afraid that Yan Keyi would be late and cause gossip.
But she was also worried that if she swiped her card to go in and call someone, she might see something she shouldn't.
Fortunately, Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi came out at the latest possible time. If they hadn't left, she really would have barged in and woken them up.
Seeing Xiang Yun's anxious appearance, Yan Keyi was still a little puzzled. When had she ever skipped work because of being late?
Jiang Ning knew what Xiang Yun was worried about, but she didn't say it outright. If Yan Keyi didn't know, then so be it.
Good morning, Coco.
As soon as Yan Keyi arrived at the film set, many people began to greet her.
Sometimes Jiang Ning really couldn't help but feel that Yan Keyi was like a little sun. Except when they first met, when she was a little reserved and somewhat out of place with the others.
But as time went on, the more you spent with her, the more you realized that she was the kind of person who shone brightly on others.
That's why she was able to quickly build good relationships with the senior members of the crew after joining the new production team.
"Xiao Yan, let's rehearse our lines first!"
After arriving at the film set, Yan Keyi sat on the side reading the script and waiting.
Jin Hui, who had just finished filming the previous scene, called Yan Keyi over to rehearse their lines after spotting her. He has a habit of explaining the feeling he wants to convey to the actors before filming.
Upon hearing Jin Hui calling her, Yan Keyi went over immediately.
After glancing at the part Jin Hui needed to say, Yan Keyi went over it with her partner.
"Xiao Yan, your feeling is right, but it still feels like something is missing."
Although it wasn't an official shoot, Yan Keyi's general direction was correct, and she seemed quite comfortable so far. But Jin Hui felt like something was off.
"Director Jin, how about we shoot a test clip first?"
Seeing that they couldn't reach a conclusion, Xu Yonghua, who played the male lead Qin Si, also suggested that they film the scene first.
Thinking that continuing the discussion would be a waste of time if no result could be reached, Jin Hui agreed with Xu Yonghua's suggestion.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
Once filming officially began, Yan Keyi seemed to understand why Jin Hui had said she felt something was wrong.
Although I was also in the same situation during the audition, it was still quite different.
During the audition, Yan Keyi seemed to lack a certain composure. That composure was something Si Lan had gained through years of experience.
Yan Keyi hadn't fully grasped this before, so she hadn't shown it.
However, it was only after Xu Yonghua guided her through the actual filming that Yan Keyi was able to portray that feeling.
During the actual filming, Xu Yonghua was quite surprised to see Yan Keyi display a feeling that he hadn't experienced before.
I had heard about Yan Keyi before. But Xu Yonghua always thought it was just a publicity stunt by her studio.
After all, among the actors he'd worked with, most of those his age were just pretty faces. Moreover, Yan Keyi wasn't formally trained in acting. Xu Yonghua had even more doubts about her abilities.
But after actually working together, we discovered that Yan Keyi really does have some talent.
Just like now, I didn't quite get into the feeling during the audition, but I found it during the actual filming.
You know, some people, even if you ask them to, might not be able to grasp that feeling. And Yan Keyi, who can figure it out on her own, is even rarer.
"Okay, passed!"
Only when she heard the director clapping the clapperboard did Yan Keyi snap out of her role.
Perhaps because she's still young, Yan Keyi usually gives off a rather energetic vibe. But when she's filming, she really manages to stay composed.
"Director, can I see that take again?"
Because before filming began, it was said that she didn't feel right, so this time the filming was done in one take, which surprised Yan Keyi.
Yan Keyi was thinking that she should take another look and see if there were any areas for improvement.
Upon hearing Yan Keyi's words, Jin Hui stepped back slightly to let her see the footage recorded by the camera.
"Director, how about we do another take? I'd like to try again."
For Jin Hui, it's certainly a happy thing to see her actors working so hard.
Xu Yonghua agreed upon hearing this.
After the two went through several more rounds of adjustments, they finally found the most satisfactory result.
Jiang Ning felt a real sense of pride when she saw her child working hard in front of the camera.
"Ha, all they do is waste other people's time. I really don't know what they're trying so hard for."
Jiang Ning was originally watching Yan Keyi's performance and was quite happy.
But then he suddenly heard a discordant voice coming from the side, and Jiang Ning looked over with some confusion.
Although she didn't name names, it was obvious that she was talking about Yan Keyi.
"What are you looking at?"
Before Jiang Ning could say anything, the person next to her, who looked like her assistant, noticed her gaze.
They probably didn't know who Jiang Ning was and thought she was some extra, so they weren't very nice to talk to.
Jiang Ning was even more confused after being suddenly yelled at.
If this were the old Jiangning, Bao would have stepped forward to argue with him.
But Jiang Ning no longer has that impulsive emotion. If she wanted to, she would have plenty of ways to deal with others.
If Jiang Ning retaliates, they can confidently hurl insults back.
Jiang Ning merely glanced at them indifferently and then said nothing, leaving them feeling as if they had punched cotton and were utterly powerless.
Jiang Ning hadn't thought of this, but in a way, she did win.
"Xiang Yun, let's buy some food and share it with everyone later."
Ignoring everyone else, Jiang Ning went straight to talk to Xiang Yun.
Judging from Yan Keyi's current filming progress, it should take a while longer to finish.
Yan Keyi didn't eat much in the morning. Worried that Yan Keyi might feel unwell after filming wrapped, Jiang Ning had already asked Xiang Yun to prepare for her.
Moreover, bringing a copy for the other members of the crew is also a way to improve Yan Keyi's image.
After receiving the task, Xiang Yun went down to carry it out.
Having worked with Jiang Ning and Yan Keyi for a long time, and knowing that it's only natural for an assistant to understand their boss's preferences, Xiang Yun quickly ordered the necessary items. She was just waiting for them to arrive and be shipped out.
