The director observed Shen Jiezhu's expression and hesitated for a moment: "Pig, is there any problem with this conference room?"

Before filming begins, each crew will generally hold some ceremonies, hoping that filming will go smoothly while also praying that the TV series will be a big hit.

Especially for the crew of horror movies, there are more processes before filming begins.

The director is a very experienced senior who has filmed many TV series. The more popular a TV series is, the more he believes in fate, and the more famous he becomes, the more cautious he becomes. His requirements for feng shui and rituals are much higher than others.

Hearing the director's voice, Shen Jiezhu retracted her gaze, looked at him and chuckled: "The overall layout of the conference room is a bit unreasonable."

She used a vaguer word—not quite reasonable.

The reason why she used this word was because she had to take into account the feelings of other people present. Some people did not believe in metaphysics and were timid. If she directly said that there were big problems with this room, it might scare them.

The director is a smart man. After seeing the cabinet that just fell down, he should be able to understand how unreasonable this layout is.

"Xiao Jin, go see if there's anyone in conference room number two. If not, let's switch to that room!"

The director still attached great importance to Feng Shui. Upon hearing what Shen Jiezhu said, he immediately told his assistant to check out other conference rooms.

Two or three minutes later, the assistant came back.

"Director, it's empty!"

"Well, let's pack up and move our things over... Wait, Pig, could you please go with me to take a look first? If there are still problems with that conference room, we can look for another one!"

Shen Jiezhu went with the director, and the others stayed in the conference room.

Conference Room No. 2 is unremarkable, just an ordinary room, without any luck bonus, but there is no feeling of Mercury retrograde either.

"How about it?" the director asked her opinion again.

Shen Jiezhu hesitated, not knowing whether she should tell the truth.

The director saw her hesitation.

"Pig, don't be so reserved, just say whatever you want to say. My teacher often mentions you in front of me. He said that you are very good at metaphysics, have a good personality, and are very sincere. This role was decided because of your performance on the teacher's stage! I believe everything you say, just speak up!"

The director's teacher? The stage?

Shen Jiezhu immediately responded: "Director, your teacher is... the chief director of EXO's concert!"

"Hahaha, that's right! The teacher used to film TV dramas, but later his health wasn't so good, so he went to be in charge of concerts!"

Shen Jiezhu was deeply impressed by the concert director. He was a very professional and powerful boss. Although he could be fierce in order to maintain order at the concert, it was all for their own good.

After the concert, he immediately turned into a gentle uncle, chatting and laughing with them without any airs at all.

After the last party, he put on a very funny show for everyone.

"Ah, I remember now. I heard the chief director talk about his students. I didn't expect it was you, the director. What a fate!"

Shen Jiezhu suddenly relaxed a lot. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that she had her own acquaintances in the crew and could chat with them easily.

"Oh, this conference room, I was just wondering whether to say it, it doesn't look like a big deal, but it's just ordinary and doesn't add much luck..."

The director nodded: "Well, let's take a look. There should be two empty meeting rooms."

"good!"

Just like that, the director took Shen Jiezhu for a stroll and finally found a very good conference room at the end of the corridor. The director immediately moved everyone there.

After the lesson just now, no one said anything this time.

Everyone quickly moved the script and other necessary materials over. The staff quickly set up the camera and prepared to start recording the script review process and find some interesting highlights to be released later to attract traffic.

The script will officially begin.

Since the name of the TV series is still being changed, the original name of the script "Hear Your Secret" is temporarily used this time.

This drama is purely about plutocrats and tells the story between plutocrats.

The male protagonist is a young master of a conglomerate, uneducated and unskilled. He has been engaged to the second female lead since childhood, but he never cares and they still go their separate ways. Later, at the second female lead's birthday party, the male protagonist meets the female lead who is in a corner and doesn't fit in with the party.

The heroine is the half-sister of the second female lead. Their father's wife divorced him while she was pregnant and went to the United States. Now the ex-wife is seriously ill, so she sent the child back.

She has a gentle personality and speaks softly, which is completely different from the arrogant and domineering second female lead.

Such a heroine immediately aroused the hero's desire to protect her. The second female lead, who was completely ignored, was furious and started a series of crazy behaviors. She bullied the heroine at home and joined others to isolate her at school. In general, she did all kinds of bad things, and of course, her final outcome was not good.

The heroine obtained the inheritance rights of the consortium and lived happily with the hero. The second female lead was thrown abroad to fend for herself, and the second male lead, who liked the heroine, could only protect her silently.

…

When she first saw the story outline, Shen Jiezhu already anticipated what kind of bloody storm she would face after playing the second female lead.

This time the script was revised to improve some details, and Shen Jiezhu took a general look at it.

Okay, the second female character became even worse after the revision. She was extremely bad. Relying on her status and position, she really did some incredible things!

Shen Jiezhu lamented in her heart how bad the second female lead was, while watching the famous scenes in the script that angered the audience to death, and she had a rough idea in her mind.

"Well, the script hasn't been modified much, except for your part, Pigsy. I've read it, what do you think?"

Shen Jiezhu smiled and nodded: "I've finished watching it, and I feel that the character of Li Yanxi has become more full-bodied."

"Okay, let's officially get started. Let's introduce ourselves and get to know each other."

After everyone introduced themselves, Shen Jiezhu realized that the man who had just apologized to her was actually the male protagonist mentioned by Xiaomi - Jin Xiuyan.

The male protagonist in the script is a lazy rich second-generation who will kill anyone he dislikes.

But when Shen Jiezhu looked at him now, her facial features were regular, her face lines were clear but not harsh, and her white shirt was neat and clean, which made her whole temperament look more refreshing. She looked like a very shy and quiet person.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like for him to get into the role.

The girl next to him is a new actress from the same company and plays the third female role in this drama.

The heroine couldn't come because of something. The second male lead is Lee Joo Hyuk, who was born as a model, has a great figure, and a very aggressive appearance, which just fits the image of the second male lead in the TV series, who is affectionate and obsessive, and will become crazy for love.

After everyone got to know each other, they started trying to act together.

Everyone drew lots to choose their own roles. Shen Jiezhu was incredibly unlucky and drew the scene where she confronted the second male lead on her first try.

That was in the second half of the story, when the second female lead continued to hurt the female lead, and the second male lead stepped in to protect her. Both of them were sons of wealthy families, and neither of them would give in to the other. The atmosphere was very tense, and the second male lead's stubborn character was exposed at this moment, and he almost strangled the second female lead to death.

They had just met and exchanged a few words, but now they had to act in such a scene. Shen Jiezhu said she felt a lot of pressure.

Lee Joo Hyuk took a look at the note in her hand and expressed his understanding. Before the performance, he encouraged her: "Pig, just act freely, don't be nervous."

Shen Jiezhu nodded, and brought back the scene that she had already memorized by heart, and roughly felt it.

The acting in the script meeting was not so formal, so both of them sat on chairs and interpreted the characters only through expressions and movements.

Shen Jiezhu threw the script on the table, turned around lazily, faced Li Zhuhe, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and looked her up and down like a spectator watching a play.

When he spoke again, his voice was filled with laughter and a kind of inexplicable pleasure: "Are you heartbroken? She's just a woman, isn't she worth your worry?"

As she spoke, she leaned forward, deliberately lowered her voice, and half-closed her eyes to hide all emotions, but the focus of her eyes was on the table, as if she was looking through the table at something on the ground.

The director reacted instantly. At this moment, there was a necklace on the ground that the male lead gave to the female lead. She had just stepped on the necklace and broke it, and then the second male lead came over.

Her red lips slightly opened, and her beautiful face turned ferocious in that instant. She was originally a proud rose, but now because of jealousy, she turned into a poisonous snake, and every word she spoke was tinged with harshness and blood.

Because she can't get it, she wants to backstab those who can't get it just like her. This gives her a perverted sense of satisfaction, thereby relieving the depression in her heart and allowing herself to maintain her initial kindness.

"Besides, she doesn't like you at all. You are really being sentimental, A-Sheng."

Ah Sheng is Park Ji-sheng's nickname, and only her close friends know it. They were once friends who grew up together, but unfortunately they are now getting further and further away.

The two characters A Sheng immediately caught the interest of the director and screenwriter. They had originally wanted to include this name, but in the end they did not. In other words, the two characters A Sheng were not in the script that Shen Jiezhu received.

This was something she added personally, but it just happened to fit in with the standards in the minds of the director and screenwriter.

The reason why they removed these two words from the script is because they are meaningful, representing the breakup between the second female lead and the second male lead, and also the end of their journey of more than a decade.

At this time, the second female lead still had some good intentions. She hoped to use this nickname to awaken the emotional connection between herself and others.

It's a pity that the second male lead didn't receive this signal, but pushed him away. After being hit successively by the male lead, the second male lead and his family, the subsequent madness of the second female lead didn't seem so abrupt.

Ah Sheng...

These two words are difficult to say. Once the feeling is wrong, the whole scene changes.

Taking into account that it was Shen Jiezhu's first time acting, they removed these two words and added some other people's reactions at the end to foreshadow their breakup.

Now it seems...

What they are doing seems a bit redundant.

Shen Jiezhu's understanding of the character is no longer confined to every word in the script, but rather how she feels about this person in her heart.

She has thoroughly understood this role, so she knows exactly what to say in any situation, and she will definitely not ruin her character.

Her performance was indeed a little immature, but it was also inexplicably genuine, making it hard to tell that she was just acting.

Every novice makes the same mistake, which is to let the character's feelings override their own feelings. They don't know that only when they regard themselves as the protagonist and the two become one, the performance will be the best.

But Shen Jiezhu did not make this mistake. Although she was very young, she had a feeling of being experienced and having seen a lot of worldly affairs?

The director temporarily understood her talent as the innate empathy of a metaphysician.

From this perspective, Shen Jiezhu is indeed a good acting talent!

"Li Yanxi, you are really crazy. How dare you touch my woman?"

He pinched her neck, his fingers so hard that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

Her breathing suddenly became rapid, but she was still laughing and mocking. There were tears in her dark eyes, but they were very few, so few that they were completely covered by her arrogance.

"Hahaha! Who is crazy? Are all of you who can't get love like this? Just like you, so pitiful, Ah Sheng, you are so pitiful..."

When she said this pitiful thing, wasn't she talking about herself?

The director watched as Shen Jiezhu moved in the direction that Li Zhuhe was pinching her, as if offering her neck to him to pinch.

"Why are you hiding? Don't you want to kill me? I saw it all, the hatred in your eyes... Hahaha, just for a woman like this... a flirtatious, slutty woman who stole my fiancé... cough cough cough!"

The air in her throat disappeared in an instant, and the woman widened her eyes in shock. The next second, the shock turned into a mocking laugh.

I don't know whether I was laughing at myself or at the man in front of me.

"Cut! Stop! Stop!"

Seeing that Shen Jiezhu's face was getting worse and worse, the director immediately called a stop, and Li Zhuhe let go of her instantly and apologized to her.

"Sorry, piggy, I was too aggressive, I..."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Shen Jiezhu coughed twice and touched her neck.

She could sense that Lee Joo Hyuk was only grabbing her neck lightly at the beginning, but as he got into the role later on, he might have been really angry, so he used a little more force.

The second male lead's emotions reached a climax, and it was at the end of this clip that the director called out "Cut" at the right time.

Shen Jiezhu's skin is very white, and any bumps and bruises will be particularly obvious, just like now, there are red marks on both sides of her neck, which shows that Li Zhuhe was serious just now.

"I'm sorry, pig. I was so absorbed in the role that I must have scared you."

Li Zhuhe was still apologizing. Shen Jiezhu smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, senior. Thanks to you for getting into the role, you were able to bring me in!"

She was telling the truth, Lee Joo Hyuk acted very well, his first look was very scary, at that moment, he really became paranoid.

It was this look that made Shen Jiezhu realize that she was the Li Yanxi whom she hated.

The director was very satisfied with the two actors' audition. After seeing their performance just now, he even began to think about how to shoot this scene in order to make it more shocking when the moment really comes.

"Pig, take a break and drink some water."

The screenwriter handed over a glass of water. Shen Jiezhu thanked him and took a sip. She felt much better.

She thought she could take a break.

But he didn't expect that the scene Jin Xiuxian drew was exactly the one where he and himself were competing against each other.

It is also a plot point where emotions explode.

The second female lead imitates the female lead in speaking and doing things in front of the male lead, but her actions are clumsy and unsightly. The male lead mocks the second female lead very rudely, and the second female lead cries and tells her how much she loves him.

She was poking at the second male lead's heart in the last second, and was poked by the male lead in the next second.

Shen Jiezhu said that being the second female lead is really difficult.

"Pig, why don't you take a rest for a while? Does your neck still hurt?"

Shen Jiezhu put down the water cup and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, Director. I can do it. Come on."
