Chapter 13
You have a stinky mouth, and it's none of your business. This was obviously an insult to the person who was just being discussed. When everyone heard this, they all shut their mouths and continued to work.
Fang Ning didn't know about this little episode.
She didn't know anyone in the crew, so after getting off the car and saying hello to the director, she dragged her suitcase to the hotel room to pack her things.
In the afternoon, after the opening ceremony, the crew's first scene officially began.
The role played by Fang Ning is a crucial clue character in "The Dachen Dynasty", so she has to appear in the first scene.
After receiving the notice, Fang Ning went to the dressing room to put on makeup. In order not to be the conspicuous NG bag, she held the script and recited the lines while putting on makeup.
Director Wang and the assistant director watched from a distance.
The assistant director's eyes stopped at Fang Ning's delicate face: "Old Wang, I don't understand why you let Fang Ning play this role."
He really didn't understand why Director Wang chose Fang Ning to play this role. Having worked with Director Wang for so many years, he knew that Director Wang had very high requirements for the actors he cast for roles, and both their appearance and acting skills had to be up to par.
Fang Ning’s appearance is indeed very superior, but her acting skills cannot be said to be bad, but they are definitely not good.
"Between Fang Ning and Xia Qing, Xia Qing's acting is better. She is also willing to invest some money and has a strong fan base. Isn't that better?"
Director Wang folded his hands and looked up: "Xia Qing is not suitable. Compared with Fang Ning, she does not have that kind of forbearance and cold temperament."
He had read actress Xia Qing's information and watched some of her acting videos.
Xia Qing's acting skills have become rigid. She has starred in too many commercial dramas and is not used to playing any role, as she always uses the same pattern.
How to laugh, how to cry, it's the same in costume dramas and in modern dramas, there is no spirit.
Xia Qing’s fans are indeed very appealing.
But this drama of his is not a commercial drama, so he prefers Fang Ning.
Fang Ning has not played many roles, but she can act with anyone on equal terms, and she can hold her own against veteran actors.
Compared with those with high traffic and poor acting skills, she is still evenly matched with them, and she is a very explosive presence.
Fang Ning is like an unpolished jade, very challenging.
After listening to Director Wang's words, the assistant director still felt that Fang Ning was not suitable, as there were many people with better temperament than Fang Ning.
He wanted to say something, and at this moment, Fang Ning, who was not far away, had already finished putting on her makeup.
She was wearing a red dress and had a cool temperament.
If she had a hint of melancholy and weak eyes before, she was like a flower raised in a greenhouse whose glass cover was suddenly removed, leaving it feeling powerless and destroyed by wind and rain.
But now, her eyebrows and eyes are cold and clear, and her expression is no longer as gentle as before.
Instead, she has a different kind of perseverance, like a wild rose that grew up in a harsh environment of thorns. No matter how strong the wind and rain are, they cannot stop her from growing wildly and tenaciously, which is very close to the role she played in "The Dachen Dynasty".
The assistant director looked at Fang Ning like this and suddenly felt.
He seemed to understand why Director Wang chose Fang Ning instead of Xia Qing.
Seeing Fang Ning like this, Director Wang could no longer hide the admiration in his eyes.
Ji Xiangchen also saw Fang Ning after she put on her makeup. She looked much more stunning than usual, a truly young and beautiful lady.
He is not a good match for Ji Xiangnian.
Ji Xiangchen lowered his eyes and kicked the stones on the roadside: Today is another day when I want to scold Ji Xiangnian for being immoral.

Fang Ning’s first scene is about to start filming, and her co-star is a veteran actor.
The first time she filmed a scene, Fang Ning was very nervous. She was not afraid of making too many NGs, but she was afraid that she would be scolded by others if she made too many NGs.
But after coming on stage, Fang Ning suddenly became like a different person.
Even when facing veteran actors, she was not at all flustered and acted calmly.
Of course, this was Fang Ning’s first scene, and the process wasn’t smooth. There were one or two NGs, but overall it was pretty good.
Director Wang was also generous with his praise: "Although there are still some areas that need to be corrected, the performance is still okay."
Fang Ning did not disappoint her. With time and practice, she would definitely be a rising star in the entertainment industry.
The other staff members present were also very surprised. They were all prepared for Fang Ning to shoot dozens of times.
But, the pants are taken off! I didn’t expect she was so amazing! Two or three times will do the trick!
For the first time, the assistant director clearly realized the difference between himself and Director Wang. He and the director had a very similar view on people.
If Fang Ning works hard at acting, she will definitely be a shining new star in the entertainment industry.
—————
After finishing the filming, Fang Ning went into the dressing room to put on makeup. Today's scenes were considered finished, and Fang Ning felt that she had done a good job in the filming.
However, she still decided to continue reading the script and memorizing the lines, intending to get into it to the point where she would die.
Just as Fang Ning was engrossed in reading the script, a noisy voice came from the door.
Fang Ning's thoughts were disrupted by the sound and she looked in the direction of the sound.
It was a group of people surrounding a man.
He was a very delicate man, with a white shirt tucked into tight jeans, earrings, and a layer of foundation on his face.
The distance was not very far, but Fang Ning could vaguely see that his foundation seemed to be applied a little thickly.
When Fang Ning looked at him, the man also looked at him. He smiled gently, walked towards Fang Ning, and introduced himself: "Hello, Teacher Fang, I am Zhou Lu."
After saying that, Zhou Lu signaled with his eyes to his assistant to put the things on the dressing table next to Fang Ning.
Fang Ning always felt that the name Zhou Lu was a little familiar, as if she had heard of it somewhere. She had read the plot of this book, but she had forgotten most of the characters in it.
So she couldn't remember the character Zhou Lu for the time being.
All I know is that he is the sixth or fifth male lead in the crew, who has even fewer roles than her?
The other party took the initiative to extend his hand, and Fang Ning also extended her hand in a friendly manner: "Hello."
Zhou Lu knew Fang Ning, but he was not familiar with her. After all, Fang Ning was just an unknown 18th-tier star, so there was no need to be familiar with her.
It was just that he was also there when Fang Ning was filming just now. She actually did a pretty good job, and there was still something to be desired. Moreover, she was acting opposite Ji Xiangchen, so it was even more necessary for him to get to know her: "Teacher Fang's scene just now was filmed very well."
When the other person praised her, Fang Ning gave him a friendly smile: "Thank you."
"I heard that the person acting with Teacher Fang this time is Ji Xiangchen." Zhou Lu also smiled, but that smile had an incomprehensible meaning, and there was something else behind his words.
Fang Ning always felt that there was something wrong with Ji Xiangchen's words. She frowned and said, "Yes, that's true."
Zhou Lu raised the corner of his mouth, hesitating to speak: "Has Teacher Fang heard of the rumors about Ji Xiang?"
Fang Ning looked up at Zhou Lu and frowned. As expected, there was something wrong with this person. He kept leading the topic to Ji Xiangchen.
Zhou Lu sighed, his tone filled with sympathy and sadness: "Ji Xiangchen has a bad temper. I heard that he even beat people during filming. Teacher Fang, you should take it easy."
Although Fang Ning didn't have much contact with Ji Xiangchen, she couldn't imagine him hitting someone.
After all, he is a person who never talks back when scolded and won't tear his umbrella. Saying that he will hit people is no different from spreading rumors.
Fang Ning's intuition told her that there was something wrong with this person, so she tapped the system: [Tongzi, who is this person? 】
The system usually responds to Fang Ning's requests for help. [Zhou Lu, a male supporting role in the book, has conflicts with the heroine's brother Ji Xiangchen. He can't stand that Ji Xiangchen always gets better roles than him, so he always does small tricks in secret to play tricks. 】
[In a previous film crew, he cut the skin on his fingers every day and had conflicts with the heroine's brother, so he was commonly known as the Broken Skin Man. 】
[At the same time, he has mastered the green tea face-changing technique! The aroma of tea is everywhere, and it is even more vicious than the IQ of you, the vicious female supporting role. After all, the original owner of your body only knows how to play on the surface, while he plays dirty, which is very scary! 】
Fang Niang: [……]
The system's words allowed Fang Ning to connect the dots of what had happened in the past few days and came to a conclusion that Ji Xiangchen was beaten and scolded by his agent last time because of this person.
So Zhou Lu was planning to pull her into his camp to isolate her and to get her to join the protagonist group.
You're asking for trouble and you want to drag her into this?
Fang Ning was in high spirits now, with a beautiful smile on her lips.
The system felt that the smile was too strange: [Host, what are you doing! Are you going to quarrel again? Ahhh, host, please start! I will always support you in language.】
Fang Ning: [………You think too much. 】
System: [No fighting, no quarreling! Then why are you laughing so horribly? 】
Fang Ning [Tea tasting. 】
System: [Ah, tea tasting? 】It doesn’t understand again. What kind of tea is it tasting?
She did not refute, but wiped her bright red lower lip with her thumb and said nonchalantly: "How do you know he has a bad temper?"
A young actor who was also removing his makeup next to him spoke up first: "Teacher Fang, you don't know, people on the Internet say that he has a very bad temper. I think you should be more careful when acting with him."
The surrounding staff also joined in the complaints.
"Yeah, that's right, he has a bad temper."
"That's what people say on the Internet, how can it not be true?"
Zhou Lu was very happy to see that everyone was complaining about Ji Xiangchen: "Yes, Teacher Fang, you should be more careful. People on the Internet are saying so."
He has always hated Ji Xiangchen.
I am obviously better than him, but every time I get a role that is not as good as his, it is because Ji Xiangchen bullies me.
The same is true for this drama. Originally, the company said that he could play the third male lead, which is exactly the role played by Ji Xiangchen, but because of him, the role was lost.
And he got even angrier after what happened on the previous crew. He was clearly a badass rich second-generation with a bad temper who relied on his family for support.
Because of him, I can only play an unknown role now.
Fang Ning's eyes turned cold. On the Internet, I wonder if they still thought they saw Ji Xiangchen beating someone with their own eyes.
When faced with someone who likes to block hats on others, and you cannot refute him, what's the best way to turn the hat over to him?
Fang Ning looked at Zhou Lu nonchalantly, as if she had suddenly realized something: "So that's what they said on the Internet."
After thinking for a while, Fang Ning blinked and hesitated: "Teacher Zhou, speaking of things on the Internet, I saw an article on the Internet yesterday saying that you and several girls were in and out of the residence."
"The article also said that you, a single person, already have a wife, a girlfriend, and a boyfriend. You're three-timing."
As she spoke, Fang Ning seemed to feel that her voice was too loud, so she lowered her voice and asked, "So, Mr. Zhou, is everything that is said on the Internet true?"
Hearing such explosive words! Being gossipy by nature, the eyes of the people present instantly shifted to Zhou Lu!
Zhou Lu's face froze slightly. Is this woman sick? It was clearly Ji Xiangchen that was being talked about, damn it, why are we talking about him again!
He didn't understand why anyone would speak for someone like Ji Xiangchen.
ill!
Zhou Lu looked at the soft face with bright eyes and came to a conclusion. This woman was not only hard to fool,
Not only did they not scold Ji Xiangchen together, but they even tried to pass on the blame! It's scary.
Unable to get what he wanted, Zhou Lu had a heart attack: "Teacher Fang, I don't know what you think, but I just hope you don't get hurt, because I was a partner with him before, and I experienced Ji Xiangchen's temper, and then I got hurt accidentally, that's it, Teacher Fang, I have so much freedom to say. I have other things to do, I'll leave first."
Zhou Lu's expression changed so quickly. He looked like he was thinking about you just now, but now he is speechless because of her retort. His attitude has changed again. Fang Ning couldn't help but sigh.
When it comes to green tea, Teacher Zhou is the best.
This tea is really pure and fragrant!
As soon as Zhou Lu left, the others also dispersed. Having won a battle, Fang Ning stretched and said, "I'm so hungry."
———
Not far away, Ji Xiangchen saw all of this and listened to the entire process.
The new assistant also followed Ji Xiangchen. She looked at Ji Xiangchen with fear, afraid that he would pick up something next to him and rush forward to knock someone down.
After all, everyone knows that Ji Xiangchen has a hot temper. If she hadn't just graduated and couldn't find a good job, she wouldn't have done this terrifying assistant job. Now she just hopes that Ji Xiangchen won't rush forward.
Otherwise, when a melee breaks out, there will only be two of them, Ji Xiangchen and she, and they won’t be able to defeat that group of people!
However, the more the assistant looked at Ji Xiangchen's face, the more he felt something was wrong.
Not only was Ji Xiangchen not angry, his stern face even showed a hint of joy!
What's wrong with him? Even though everyone is scolding him, he still has a happy expression! So thrilling.
Is he a masochist?
The assistant felt like he knew something extraordinary.
Before the assistant could recover from the shock, she heard a deep voice: "Just now, did you hear that? She seemed to be speaking up for me, right?"
The assistant didn't react and nodded instinctively: "Yes, Teacher Fang Ning just spoke for you."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Xiangchen's eyes showed a bit of satisfaction.
The assistant's expression was mysterious. "Brother, what are you doing? You are not in love with Fang Ning!"
However, she heard that Fang Ning seemed to already have a husband.
Help, brother! Don't do this kind of thing that pleases your wife! Morals are corrupt!
———
After removing her makeup, Fang Ning was extremely hungry and was about to order some takeout.
Ji Xiangchen came to the door with a bunch of things.
Fang Ning had just helped him scold that idiot Zhou Lu, and he didn't know how to thank her. Just then, his assistant ordered a takeaway.
He remembered that Fang Ning seemed to have said that she was very hungry, so he brought the takeaway over.
However, his taste is very light, all Cantonese cuisine, and I don't know whether she likes it or not.
"for you."
Fang Ning took the thing he handed over with surprise, as if it was food: "For me?"
Ji Xiangchen nodded reservedly, a little tangled: "It's takeout, but the taste is a bit light, I don't know if you like it or not."
A handsome guy brought food. Although this handsome guy was his brother-in-law, who could say no? "I'm not picky about food. I just happened to be hungry. Thank you."
Hearing this, Ji Xiangchen's expression was not so serious anymore, and he was obviously relieved.
The assistant following behind was a little confused.
Judging from her rich perspective on people, Ji Xiangchen didn't seem to be in love with Fang Ning.
On the contrary, Fang Ning felt like a child trying to please his mother.
So, Brother Ji treated Fang Ning as an elder and tried to please him?
What is going on? Fang Ning only looks to be in her twenties!
It's impossible to have a son that old!
The assistant's brain was so exhausted that he couldn't figure out what the relationship was!
