Chapter 44 (2)



As gentle and gentlemanly as ever.

However, knowing the other party's nature, it was difficult for Officer Luo Yu to accept the pancake without any grudge.

"Officer Luo Yu? What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Ning Chen stood up with a smile, then raised his hand and casually threw the clean, warm pancake into the trash can. "Since Officer Luo Yu doesn't want to eat it, then this pancake is useless."

Useless things should naturally be thrown into the trash can.

Luo Yu looked up and met Ning Chen's expression, and was shocked.

"Click—" the director glanced at the monitor and shouted.

In the scene just now, the actress's acting was actually a bit overshadowed by Rong Jing, but this scene can also be said to be Rong Jing's last act of insolence before he was caught, so this performance is understandable.

But the director, watching this, had to agree with what the producer had just said. Rong Jing's acting skills seemed to have improved a lot compared to when he first joined the group.

If it weren't for Rong Jing's identity as a Taoist priest, the director would have wanted to persuade him to stay in the entertainment industry.

Based on his looks and his ever-improving acting skills, his achievements will definitely not be too bad.

With a subtle sense of regret, the director sighed and asked Rong Jing to come over.

He didn't say anything, but just pointed out some of the unclear points in this section of Rong Jing's mind, and asked him to write down these shortcomings that could not be corrected for the time being, and then try to continue to improve.

It also serves to fulfill their friendship from this cooperation.

They shot a few more clips until night fell and the new moon rose. The director finally shouted "Cut" with satisfaction, clapped his hands and asked them to clean up, then went back to rest.

Rong Jing also removed the makeup on her face.

He has good skin and handsome looks, so when he puts makeup on, the makeup artist usually just gives him a layer of powder on his face, adds a little bit of not-so-obvious eyeliner and light lipstick and then stops.

Although Rong Jing had been in the crew of "The Legend of Heavenly Master", he still wasn't used to the feeling of having something on his face.

Rong Jing wiped off the light makeup on her face with a makeup remover towel, changed her clothes and came out, only to see Mu Yunzhou still on the set.

"?" Walking over with some confusion, Rong Jing saw that the other person's expression was much brighter than before, as if he had figured something out.

Mu Yunzhou: "Master Rong, are you done with work? I've just finished my work, so let's go back to the hotel together."

The two crews started filming at about the same time and rented the same hotel. Rong Jing had met Mu Yunzhou and his group on the way back before, but this was the first time he went back with them.

Feeling a little weird in his heart, Rong Jing frowned, but he couldn't say it was bad. He just said "hmm" and continued to walk out.

Seeing this, Mu Yunzhou paused, then followed.

However, the way back to the hotel was not long, and Rong Jing's reaction was as cold as ever. Mu Yunzhou also fell silent when he reached the end.

Before entering the hotel, Mu Yunzhou couldn't help but called out, "Teacher Rong."

Rong Jing turned around and glanced at him indifferently.

Mu Yunzhou: "...Good night."

Rong Jing didn't say anything, just nodded and walked into the elevator.

He was not an expert on matters of love, but he was not completely ignorant of them.

Mu Yunzhou’s performance today… Rong Jing stood in the elevator and couldn’t help but frowned.

I hope he's overthinking it.

Perhaps sensing Rong Jing's cold attitude, Mu Yunzhou did not come to the set of "Who is the Third Person" for the next few days.

The remaining scenes were filmed smoothly. In the last closing scene, Rong Jing stood beside a weed-covered road, wearing a rare pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, looking gentlemanly and elegant.

"You're here." Ning Chen took off his glasses and squinted at Li Shaoxuan and the others who were fully equipped. "As expected of you... you're really well prepared."

Li Shaoxuan, played by Lin Ruisheng, looked at his former friend, now a murderer, with a cold and expressionless look, and said, "When facing a cunning criminal suspect like you, of course I have to be more fully prepared."

I don't know which word in his sentence hit Ning Chen's funny spot, but he laughed out loud, his eyes still as gentle as water: "To receive such an evaluation from Officer Li, I can die without regrets."

He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the breeze blowing from the air on his cheeks. The air smelled of grass and had a slight chill of winter.

Although he looked relaxed, Li Shaoxuan and others became more alert.

It's not their fault for being too cautious. It's because Ning Chen knew that he had been exposed long ago, but he kept holding back. No one knows what kind of backup plan he has.

Slowly pulling out the pistol from his waist, Li Shaoxuan pointed the gun at Ning Chen's heart.

"Officer Li." Ning Chen opened his eyes. "What if I don't want to go with you?"

He put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and walked towards Li Shaoxuan and others step by step.

Suddenly, he quickened his pace, and a silver scalpel suddenly appeared between his fingers.

Ning Chen had a smile on his face, but his hand stabbed towards Luo Yu very skillfully.

Li Shaoxuan was startled and then pulled the trigger.

With a light "bang", Ning Chen's pace slowed down.

Gorgeous blood-red flowers bloomed on the snow-white shirt. Ning Chen took one last look at Li Shaoxuan, then turned around and stabbed the scalpel deeper into his heart along the bullet mark.

He is dead.

Right in front of Li Shaoxuan.

As if it had been planned... a quick and clean death.

"Okay, click!" As Rong Jing fell to the ground, the director finally shouted "click" with satisfaction.

Looking at the nearly perfect footage captured on the monitor, the director clapped his hands and personally went over to pull Rong Jing up.

"Teacher Rong, congratulations on finishing the film!" Rong Jing had just stood up when the director stuffed a big red envelope into his hand. "It's the rule in the circle. Take the red envelope to get rid of bad luck."

It's an unspoken rule that no matter if they are big stars or unknown extras in this circle, when they have played a corpse or filmed a death scene, the crew has to give them a red envelope to get rid of the bad luck and death, so as to prevent the actors from getting sick.

Although the director knew that the man in front of him was a Taoist priest, he did not show favoritism and gave red envelopes to anyone who acted out a death scene.

Rong Jing didn't refuse either.

In fact, this rule makes sense. In the past, many opera troupes in the Zhao Dynasty would give a red envelope to the stage after they performed similar scenes.

It means "good luck is coming" to suppress the original bad luck.

After the director announced that Rong Jing had finished filming, other staff members gathered around and congratulated him with a smile.

Although Rong Jing is usually aloof and doesn't talk much to others, he won't refuse anyone if they ask him for something.

In addition, he was always serious when filming and never took advantage of his status as a master to be perfunctory, so most of the staff liked him very much.

After watching Rong Jing being surrounded by a group of people for a while, with a rare flustered look on his face, the director went over to help him out: "Alright, stop crowding around here. It's almost time for today, so go pack up and call it a day."

This is nearly two hours earlier than usual!

The staff cheered upon hearing this and stopped surrounding Rong Jing. They quickly returned to their posts and started packing up.

The people surrounding him finally dispersed, and Rong Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

The director looked at his expression and found it a little funny for a moment.

It would be nice if all celestial masters had this kind of personality.

"Your acting skills are pretty good now." After laughing, the director said earnestly, "From the time you joined the crew to the end of the filming, your progress is obvious, but your shortcomings have always been obvious, that is, your control of emotions and your lines."

"You have actually made a lot of progress in terms of controlling your emotions, but the only thing is the lines. Have you not done any systematic line training before? If you have time, you should practice them seriously."

Putting aside everything else, just talking about the performance, the director was actually really optimistic about Rong Jing, so much so that now that the filming has been wrapped, he did not hesitate to pull Rong Jing aside to give him some pointers.

The other party was kind-hearted, so Rong Jing would naturally not be ungrateful. He listened carefully to the director's words and nodded: "I understand, thank you director."

The director waved his hands and half-jokingly said, "Hey, I also want to have a relationship with the legendary Heavenly Master!"

Rong Jing: “…” That’s not impossible.

After a simple wrap-up banquet and farewell banquet, Rong Jing did not leave the crew that day. Instead, he rested in the hotel for another night before leaving.

Xun Hao received the news of his completion the night before, so he drove over and waited for him at the hotel.

Reaching out to help Rong Jing put the suitcase into the trunk, Xun Hao sat back in the driver's seat and looked up at Rong Jing again.

He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but the strange aura from Rong Jing seemed to be more obvious.

His gaze lingered for a while, Rong Jing raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, Xun Hao came back to his senses: "Long time no see, Master Rong."

The other party did not rely on the resources in his hands, and Xun Hao did not dare to interfere with Rong Jing's actions, so if you count carefully, they haven't seen each other for some time.

"Yeah." Rong Jing nodded and responded lightly.

Xun Hao: "Mr. Rong, are you going home first, or do you want to go somewhere?"

"Let's go back." Rong Jing said, half leaning on the back seat of the car.

He had nowhere to go.

Xun Hao said okay and then turned the car around.

"The ratings for "Record of Heavenly Master" have come out recently. They are basically above 5 points, and the highest is nearly 13 points. As soon as this data came out, many companies sent script invitations to you, Mr. Rong, but I temporarily suppressed them on the grounds that you are still filming." Xun Hao said.

His words also meant to ask Rong Jing whether he would take on any more acting roles in the future.

Rong Jing lowered his eyes slightly, but did not reject it outright: "If it's suitable, we can take a look."

The obsession deep in my consciousness seemed to have faded a little, but I didn't know when it would completely dissipate.

Xun Hao was not surprised by this answer and smiled: "Then I will screen it first and then send the script to you."

In fact, most of the resources for his artists were brought by Rong Jing's connections. For both public and private reasons, he was grateful to Rong Jing.
