Director Wang thought to himself, "What chance am I supposed to give them? Without Pear Soft, the number of viewers for this show is plummeting. I'm furious!"
He then sighed. The young girl had the opportunity to play the lead role in a drama, and what she said made perfect sense. He couldn't bring himself to disagree, so he could only complain to Old Chen behind his back.
"I don't care, you absolutely have to release Li Ruan in the next episode."
Director Chen: We really don't see eye to eye! Next episode? The episode after that, the episode after that, and the episode after that—it's impossible!
Waiting for Pear Soft to wrap up filming!
...
In the film crew, shooting has been going on for more than half a month. Apart from having to listen to Director Chen scolding people every day, everything else is going smoothly.
Today, Li Ruan finished filming her scenes early again, then moved a small stool and sat down next to Director Chen to study.
After filming a scene, Director Chen turned to her and asked, "Why don't you go home and rest after you've finished filming your scenes? Even if you can't go on a date with your boyfriend, you can still have a long phone call!"
Li Ruan: "Sure, but wouldn't I need to have a boyfriend first?"
Xi Sang hung up the phone and then instructed his driver to drive away.
The car window rolled up, revealing a middle-aged face. Xu Chansheng didn't care who the other person was and went straight to the point, "Your young lady said that you and their Xiaoduo have no relationship anymore, and she asked you not to follow you anymore. So, I can only ask you to go to the police station."
"Come on, look! His performance is as excellent as ever. Tomorrow we'll be filming the scene where he and the male lead are playing coy. They need to prepare themselves and try to get it right in one take tomorrow."
Li Ruan waited for Fatty Wang to finish removing his makeup before they left together.
Fatty Wang laughed and said, "You know, there's a restaurant that serves Huaiyang cuisine that's generally not very good. Shall we go try it tonight?"
Fatty Wang kept his eyes glued to the screen and said aloud, "You bad director, okay, let's wait until you two go over the lines again. Anyway, you don't have any scenes to film today."
That guy doesn't have misogyny, he's not a germaphobe, and he's always been very chaste. He's never had any scandals with any man. How could he not have feelings for Riyuu?
Qu Xia, who plays Wang Pangzi's secretary, immediately brightened up. She was just worried that she would have the opportunity to meet Xu Yingdi after the filming of that movie. She thought, "You should also act with Xu Yingdi!"
I took out my phone and sent a message.
The old man had already prepared ten dishes under the table; even if the two of us have small stomachs, we could finish them all.
Inside the Audi, Ke Xiye heard his phone ring and immediately took it out to look at it. He then instructed his brother, "Speed up and intercept that Land Rover behind us."
The team member spoke, and the car weaved through the traffic. Seven minutes earlier, the Audi had successfully blocked the Land Rover from behind and forced it to stop. Xu Chansheng knocked on the driver's side window.
Fatty Wang replied naturally, "Something came up. You can't just pack food and eat it when you're hungry and it's cold."
What would you like to eat for dinner?
Team member, Huaiqi, asked, "Is this car also belonging to the older sister's bodyguards? What happened?"
Director Chen: "Heh, you're quite ambitious. Okay, keep it up. At the very least, I'll make sure you maintain this level of dedication after this movie is finished."
Xu Chansheng replied to Li Ruan's message, and then continued to follow the location to the restaurant where the two were having dinner.
Fatty Wang was secretly delighted, but he didn't show it on his face. I finally looked away from the screen and glanced at the time. "It's not even seven o'clock yet. Forget it, let's go eat first. You treat him, and we can rehearse together later."
The young movie star asked to rehearse a scene, but Li Ruan had no choice but to comply. After all, her acting skills were a bit inferior to the movie star's. So, she just wanted to rehearse a scene.
Fatty Wang: I knew it, as long as there's no bad food, I can lure you away.
The two chatted as they ate, and Fatty Wang casually asked a question.
Then another eight dishes were served, and all the dishes were finally served.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xi Sang saw that Sister Li was really serious, so he had no choice but to call Xiao Duo and explain the situation.
Li Ruan isn't an idol star, so it's normal for her to date. Besides, even idol stars date secretly sometimes.
As the car drove out of the city, Li Ruan looked at the two unfamiliar cars in the front-view mirror and felt a sense of annoyance.
You're talking nonsense. Our crew really does have several older actresses, and the few remaining are all single. Besides, you really have that intention now.
Li Ruan hadn't considered that we'd actually be leaving the city later, but since you wanted to try what bad Huaiyang cuisine tasted like, she agreed, "Sure, as long as it's bad, it's fine."
Wang Pangzi, who had just started filming and wanted to see how the movie went: ...So, Li Ruan broke up with this person?
Director Chen finally spotted the young actor standing to the side out of the corner of his eye. "Come on, Chan Sheng, let's watch the scene we just filmed together."
Li Ruan: "It's almost the end of the Lunar New Year. Go home and have a peaceful holiday first. You used to want to take on variety shows."
Yesterday, you saw how brilliantly he acted in that fight scene where he caught the human traffickers. It's just a shame you don't have a fight scene tomorrow either; it'll be a good opportunity for both of you to face off.
Li Ruan nodded with a smile: "You're always outside the film set, where are you going to find a girlfriend?"
Anyone could tell from my expression that I wasn't trying anything.
Director Chen paused mid-drink of water: "You don't have a boyfriend? Such a pretty girl doesn't have a boyfriend? Who are you trying to fool?"
So today's meal includes eight fish and eight shrimp dishes, guaranteed to satisfy Li Ruan.
"Given the current pace of our filming, the movie should wrap up in about two months. Has he not taken on any new dramas? Or is he planning to continue filming variety shows?"
Xu Chansheng said in a deep voice, "We do what the boss tells us to do. Why ask so few questions?"
Li Ruan knew that the man was easygoing, because he directly told me to make the decision myself: "You can eat whatever you want, but he's not a germaphobe, so let's choose a place he thinks is old."
Li Ruan: ...Brother, has he forgotten about his germaphobia? Besides, when did you, with your vast wealth, fall to the point of having to eat leftovers?
"Come back. You used to just follow me around." Anyway, you're always surrounded by people who need protection.
I've observed that while on set, Li Ruan eats everything, but she especially loves fish and shrimp.
Fatty Wang personally picked up a piece of fish for you and placed it on the plate behind your noodles.
Fatty Wang ordered a table full of famous Huaiyang dishes, including braised eel, Wensi tofu, boiled cabbage, braised dried bean curd, eight-course duck, and so on. Li Ruan quickly said, "Don't order any more dishes that are already on the menu. If there's too little, we'll just have to eat it all. It would be a waste if we didn't order any."
Ke Xiye picked up another shrimp and placed it outside the pear-shaped bowl. "It's a dish that's already spoiled. Try it. My family's salted river shrimp is the best. It's the young chef's specialty dish."
Ke Xiye dismissed both the driver and the assistant, and I drove myself, with Li Ruan sitting in the passenger seat.
Li Ruan said helplessly, "I'm single now. Besides, what's so good about dating? It just slows down my earning speed."
"Okay, you have a problem."
