"Director, this...how can such a desperate person still laugh? I, I really don't understand."
Mo Feifei's face wrinkled into a ball, and she racked her brains but couldn't think of the expression that Jiang He wanted.
This also made her very distressed.
Jiang He was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. "Mo Feifei, you are a second-tier female artist, are you stupid?"
"Director, I... I'm not stupid." Mo Feifei lowered his head and answered seriously.
Jiang He's eyes were almost spitting fire as he pointed at Mo Feifei and scolded her.
"Just to make you act this funny, the entire crew is wasting their time following you."
Seeing Wen Ran coming over here, he said again: "Look at Wen Ran and Actor Qi, they almost always get it right in one take. If you can't act like this again, I'll replace you!"
Mo Feifei lowered her head even lower, unable to utter a word in rebuttal.
Wen Ran walked over, ignoring Mo Feifei, and said to Jiang He, "Director Jiang, let me talk to her."
Seeing Wen Ran, Jiang He's tone calmed down a lot, "Okay, talk to her."
After saying that, Jiang He was busy directing everyone to shoot the next scene. Even though his figure disappeared, his voice could still be heard.
"You know nothing at all, you're really clueless, you're just a piece of wood!"
Wen Ran glanced at Mo Feifei and made some sarcastic remarks in a bad mood.
"Director Jiang has always had a bad temper. If you can't achieve the results he wants, he will really replace you."
"Wen Ran, stop laughing at me. Director Jiang was just speaking in anger. He was praising me just a few days ago!"
As soon as Jiang He left, Mo Feifei's appearance changed instantly. She crossed her arms and looked very arrogant.
Wen Ran rolled his eyes, completely speechless by Mo Feifei's train of thought.
“You don’t really think that the entire entertainment industry is suitable for playing this role?
Our crew's shooting schedule is very tight, and you know how expensive a day of shooting is.
If you delay the crew's progress because of yourself, if I were the director, I would make you the first one to leave."
Wen Ran's red lips opened and closed, speaking the most realistic words in the gentlest voice.
Mo Feifei pouted, "Wen Ran, don't be so proud. Don't think I don't know that you got the leading female role by climbing into the investor's bed. You're not as good as me!"
As she spoke, Mo Feifei pointed at herself. After all, she joined the crew through an audition, so she was a capable person.
At the beginning, Jiang He even praised her for looking like she came out of a book.
Wen Ran didn't get angry when he heard her words. He even played with his hair, twisting it around his fingertips.
"I did find a backer, but that was something I found based on my own abilities. Unlike you, you found an old man as a backer. I'm afraid you're a widow now!"
Wen Ran deliberately slowed down his speech and emphasized the last sentence.
“Ahhhh!”
Mo Feifei was so angry that she stomped her feet three times, but she couldn't argue with Wen Ran.
The smile on Wen Ran's face was too bright.
She let go of her hair and took half a step forward, closing the distance between her and Mo Feifei.
He leaned in close to her ear and said, "I don't have time to argue with you. You can't beat me anyway. I just want to tell you that I have a way to improve your acting skills."
"Pay me one million in tuition, and I'll teach you everything I know." Wen Ran added.
"You are robbing a bank!" Mo Feifei exclaimed.
"Knowledge is priceless. Come to me when you have thought it through." Wen Ran hummed a song and left happily.
After dark, rolling black clouds covered half the sky. Not long after, there was a loud "boom" and heavy rain poured down.
The director team made a sudden decision to use the rain to film the scene where the male and female protagonists escape in the bamboo forest.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and lightning flashed across the sky one after another.
Jiang He looked at the monitor and couldn't stop smiling.
"Okay, okay, this lightning effect is much better, and it saves money, hahaha..."
The script supervisor announced the scene with the clapperboard, "Seven episodes, three scenes, one take, one take. Cut!"
Accompanied by a flash of lightning, more than a dozen actors in black jumped down from the tree, holding knives in their hands and slashing forward with their teeth and claws.
The camera flashed, and it was Qi Xingchen holding Wen Ran's hand, and the two were running through the bamboo forest.
The rain was pouring down, their clothes were soaked, and their steps became increasingly difficult.
Not long after, Wen Ran accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell to the ground with a plop, splashing mud and water all over her.
She pushed away Qi Xingchen's hand that was supporting her, and before she could finish her lines, a "click" came from the director's intercom.
The staff quickly ran over and held umbrellas for the two to shelter from the rain.
Wen Ran stood up and turned around to ask Jiang He, "Director Jiang, what did I do wrong?"
"No, no, no, you acted very well. It was Actor Qi who made the mistake." Jiang He tilted his head and shouted at the staff not far away, "Where's the makeup artist? Didn't you see that Actor Qi's headpiece is coming undone?"
"I'm sorry, director. It's raining so hard. I'll fix it right away." The makeup artist bent down to apologize and ran to Qi Xingchen with tools to stick the headgear on for him.
Wen Ran is now covered in mud, and she will need to remake her clothes soon, so the clothes will definitely not work.
Xiao Zhao helped to bring a new costume. Wen Ran was wearing a sleeveless shirt underneath, so in order to save time, he changed it directly on the spot.
"You also have to wipe off the mud on your hair." Wen Ran reminded the makeup artist.
Qi Xingchen looked back and agreed, "Yes, I have it in my hair too." But his eyes fell on Wen Ran's collarbone.
The lighting technician's light was a little weak, but Qi Xingchen could still see that it was a man's teeth marks.
Qi Xingchen quickly turned around and suppressed the bitterness churning in his heart.
He wanted to tell himself that he must have seen it wrong, but he no longer had the courage to look at it again.
Qi Xingchen was not in good condition during the subsequent filming, which resulted in many takes. It was already three in the morning when it ended.
Wen Ran did not return to the hotel because there was a big show scheduled at seven in the morning.
After removing my makeup, I packed up and slept in the temporary lounge.
…
The morning after the rain is quiet and cool, and the world is brighter than usual.
"Sister Ran, it's time to get up and pretend~" Xiao Zhao pulled Wen Ran's arm and used all her strength to pull her up from the folding bed.
Wen Ran's eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and he was so sleepy that he yawned continuously.
"What time is it? Why are you calling me?" She felt like she had only been lying down for less than ten minutes.
Xiao Zhao opened her phone and placed it in front of Wen Ran. "Look at yourself, it's already six o'clock. If you don't get up now, you won't have time to pretend."
Xiao Zhao helped Wen Ran get his clothes. "I just came in from outside and saw Director Jiang's face was really dark. He said that all the scenes Mo Feifei filmed yesterday need to be reshot, and now he's cursing at everyone he meets!"
The implication is that the director is not someone to be trifled with today.
After hearing this, Wen Ran raised the corner of his lips and said, "The money is coming."
As a result, Mo Feifei arrived before the filming started, and asked everyone to leave as soon as she entered the door.
Wen Ran waved his hand, and the makeup artist and Xiao Zhao had to leave first.
Mo Feifei sat down next to Wen Ran in her costume, hesitant, and said, "Um... what you said yesterday, does it still count?"
"The price has increased, three million." Wen Ran was simple and direct.
