Director Liu scoffed, "The scenes to be filmed each day are all predetermined. I can adjust them for you, but if Pei Kai comes over and also wants adjustments, how can my crew continue filming?"

Shi Xi calmly and patiently said, "The production is progressing so fast right now, even if my scenes are stopped for a day, it won't affect anything, right?"

Director Liu counted on his fingers and said, "Is the current progress fast? What if it rains later? What if something else happens later?"

Teacher Shi, every day I operate the equipment costs me a day's pay. Do you know how much it costs to rent a location, these filming equipment, and extras?

"Our entire production crew is so large, we can't just go on strike for one day because of you!"

The implication was clear: they disagreed with Shi Xi's request for leave.

Having no other choice, Shi Xi had to tell Han Chuan.

After Han Chuan found out, he went to talk to Director Liu.

However, Director Liu is very principled on this issue.

Not allowing leave means not allowing it.

Han Chuan had no choice.

After failing to reach an agreement, Han Chuan had no choice but to try to coordinate with the variety show organizers.

Finally, Han Chuan returned to the scene.

"The filming schedule for the variety show has been postponed, so you can record it when you have time," Han Chuan said regretfully. "But as for becoming a regular cast member, we'll have to wait until the next season."

After all, Shi Xi was filming on set.

After finishing filming "Nine Lives for Peace", she will join the cast of "Yuan Shao 2".

I don't have time to be a regular on variety shows anymore.

"Looks like I'm not meant to be on this variety show," Shi Xi said helplessly.

"There's not much freedom on set," Han Chuan said after hearing some things about the film crew from Zhu Lin. "If you're busy on your end, I won't arrange any other engagements for you."

“Okay, it’s only been a little over a month here anyway,” Shi Xi agreed.

However, the next day Shi Xi discovered that Pei Kai was not on set.

Director Liu shouted through a megaphone, "We'll shoot the female lead's scenes first today; the male lead's scenes will be moved to later."

"Where did Pei Kai go?" Shi Xi asked Zhu Lin, somewhat puzzled.

"Let me check." Zhu Lin took out her phone.

For celebrities with some fame, their schedules are almost always transparent.

Soon, Zhu Lin found out, "Their group released a new song, and Pei Kai went back to record the music video. Judging from his plane ticket, he won't be back until backstage."

Shi Xi laughed in exasperation, "I have to go record a variety show, I can't even take a day off. Pei Kai can go record a music video, he can take two or three days off?"

Zhu Lin also got angry, "I just feel like this director is deliberately targeting us!"

Shi Xi took a deep breath, "Fine, fine, I know now, I won't cooperate with him anymore!"

"He just thinks we're easy to bully!" Zhu Lin said in a low voice. "I've seen the movies he directed before; the plots and dialogue are top-notch, and they even won awards! He just doesn't want to take things seriously!"

Shi Xi looked at Director Liu, who had shouted a few words and then started smoking and playing on his phone, and felt a headache coming on. "I didn't know he was this kind of director before I joined the crew."

If she had known that Director Liu was so irresponsible, she wouldn't have agreed to take on "Nine Lifetimes of Peace".

"All departments are ready. Shi Xi, are you ready?" Director Liu put down his phone for the moment.

"I'm here." Shi Xi stood up.

Life is tough, Xixi sighed.

The filming has already begun, and the shoot has already taken place; it's too late to regret it now.

We can only be thankful that this drama was only filmed for two months.

Once the filming is finished, everything will be fine.

However, the matter did not end there.

The rumors circulating online were that Shi Xi was going to be a regular guest on the show "Refrigerator".

But in the latest episode of "Refrigerator," the guest was Liao Chujing!

Everyone was surprised when Liao Chujing appeared on the variety show.
