Ming Jiayi organized her thoughts and then answered patiently and rationally.
"As far as I can remember, we haven't had much contact. I don't know what it was about me that attracted you, but whatever it was, please believe me firmly that it was just an illusion."
Ming Jiayi really didn't understand.
They had only met a few times and had very limited contact with each other.
Why did he suddenly confess his feelings to me?
It's really quite baffling.
"Jiayi, Jiayi, the director is calling you!" Mo Xing shouted loudly at the door.
Ming Jiayi opened the door to the dressing room. Before leaving, Bai Li grabbed his hand and said sincerely,
"Believe me, I'm really serious, and I thought we were already friends..."
Ming Jiayi sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Could he be pursuing her only because she was a daughter of the Ming family...?
The original owner was right to not want to reveal their identity...
"I'm leaving now. We'll talk later," Ming Jiayi said hurriedly as she walked outside.
This atmosphere is so awkward...
...
On set
"Jiayi, come here, let me explain the scene to you," the director called out to Ming Jiayi, holding the script.
He had great faith in Ming Jiayi's acting skills, but he was worried that she might not be able to handle some of the details properly, so he wanted to explain them to her.
The scene they're filming now is the fifth scene of the script, an outdoor shot.
The male lead is a rock singer who gets accidentally injured and hospitalized while trying to break up a fight in a bar in the first scene. The female lead happens to be on night shift at the time, so she helps the emergency room staff treat the group of people.
Because the male lead's injuries were quite severe, he was hospitalized for a period of time. During that time, he watched the female lead get scolded almost every day and saw her become more and more depressed.
The male protagonist felt a little sorry for her, thinking she was in such a terrible situation, so he comforted her and encouraged her to get back on her feet.
The fifth scene they are currently filming is about the male lead recovering from his injuries and being discharged from the hospital. The female lead has lost her emotional support, so she is particularly reluctant to let go and therefore seeks out the male lead.
Actually, the main point of this drama is not the love and hate between the male and female leads. Its theme is to show that doctors have to bear a lot of psychological pressure.
The male protagonist exists to alleviate the female protagonist's psychological pressure and fear, enabling her to become a more competent surgeon.
"An Si in this part hasn't fallen for Deng Jing yet, so your feelings don't need to be so intense."
"You can understand it as An Si taking a liking to Deng Jing's songs and becoming somewhat dependent on him, which is why he went to find Deng Jing. Do you understand?" the director said earnestly while looking at the script.
Ming Jiayi nodded. "I understand."
The director pointed to a piece of tape stuck on the floor in front of him and gave Ming Jiayi some instructions.
"Okay. Then it's about positioning. Do you see that transparent tape on the ground over there?"
When you're in the shot, slowly walk towards that spot, then step on the transparent tape and stand there, okay?
Ming Jiayi nodded and then stood up.
The director waved his hand, and then a staff member holding a time clock walked to the center of the scene.
"5 games, 1 time, action."
An Si's gaze remained fixed on the man playing guitar under a large tree not far away.
She walked forward slowly, as if afraid of disturbing the man, but she couldn't help but sing along with the guitar music.
Upon hearing the singing, Deng Jing looked up toward the source of the sound and then smiled.
Ming Jiayi quickly glanced at the transparent tape out of the corner of her eye. She had already walked to the transparent tape. Then she stopped and stood still, continuing to sing along with the guitar music.
Mo Xing watched Ming Jiayi nervously from outside the scene, but Ming Jiayi's phone suddenly rang in her hand.
It was a call from someone whose contact name was "Dean".
Ming Jiayi had previously instructed Mo Xing that if someone called while she was filming and the scene wasn't over yet, Mo Xing should answer the phone for her.
"Hello, Dean," Mo Xing said politely as she answered the phone.
"Who are you?" The dean took off his phone and glanced at the contact name.
No typo...
"I'm Ming Jiayi's assistant, my name is Mo Xing. Jiayi is filming right now and can't answer the phone for a while. May I ask what's up?"
The dean paused for a second or two; Ming Jiayi seemed reluctant to let too many people know she possessed medical skills...
But this matter is a bit urgent...
"How long does she need to finish filming? I need her help with something. It's urgent," the director said anxiously.
Mo Xing looked up at Ming Jiayi and answered somewhat awkwardly.
"It might not be that quick. And this show just started filming today, so Jiayi probably won't be able to take time off... What's wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No, only Jiayi can help with this. If you can, could you please tell her for me now?"
"Tell her I called her, and she should know what I want to ask her for," the dean replied.
"Okay, I'll pass it on to her, but she's filming right now, and I can't call her unless the director yells 'cut'..."
The dean thought for a moment, "We can't possibly film for an hour straight without a break, can we?"
Well, let's wait a while then.
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Mo Xing looked even more anxious at Ming Jiayi's expression.
Ming Jiayi has already started reciting her lines.
Deng Jing put down his guitar and walked up to Ming Jiayi, asking happily, "What are you doing here? Did you come to see me?"
An Si grinned. "Yes, you haven't contacted me since you were discharged from the hospital a few days ago... I was worried something had happened to you."
Deng Jing pulled An Si to sit under a tree, then opened a bottle of drink he had placed there and handed it to An Si.
"No, what could possibly happen to me? You doctors are all very busy, and I wouldn't dare to bother you without permission."
An Si lowered her head and muttered softly, "What's there to bother..."
Deng Jing looked at An Si with some confusion, "What did you say?"
An Si looked up, pursed her lips, and shook her head. "It's okay. I mean, you won't bother me. I think you sing very well."
Deng Jing smiled brightly, "Really? Thank you."
"Okay! Cut!" the director shouted.
Ming Jiayi was instantly pulled out of character. She placed the drink on the grass and then tidied her hair.
The makeup artist took advantage of the break to quickly go up and touch up her makeup, and Mo Xing followed along.
"Jiayi, someone with the name 'Dean' in their contact just called you. He said he has something urgent to discuss with you."
Ming Jiayi's eyes darkened, and she quickly took the phone that Mo Xing handed her, going to the side to make a call back.
