For the first time, the aloof and cold immortal lord, who had lived for a thousand years, revealed his delicate and gentle side in front of his disciples.
He shouted excitedly, "Cut! Okay, it's done!"
Trembling eyelashes, a shy yet adoring gaze, and then, as Qingming Immortal Lord turns around, her eyes quickly change, a smug and mocking smile playing on her lips. Innocence and wickedness are perfectly presented in the two shots of Li Ruan.
He found the right actress for Li Ruan!
"Li Ruan, go touch up your makeup. We'll start filming the next scene soon."
Li Ruan turned around and went to the changing room. Xu Chansheng's assistant, Chen Liang, approached her with a glass of water.
Xu Chansheng ignored him and walked back to his seat.
He took a couple of sips of water, but his mind was racing. He hadn't expected that the girl's acting was so good. She didn't make a single mistake on their first time filming together, especially since she didn't seem guilty at all after doing that kind of thing. They got the scene right in one take.
Moreover, just now, when the two of them were very close, he smelled that fragrance that had left a deep impression on him again. It was light and elegant, faint and elusive, like the scent of pear blossoms, yet unlike any perfume on the market. If he was not mistaken, it must have been her natural body scent. She was actually born with a natural body scent!
I don't know why, but the smell of that fragrance dissipated a lot of the gloom that I had felt because of her.
The following scenes went very smoothly. If it weren't for the need to change makeup and hair in the middle, the filming process would have been even faster.
Many people in the crew initially thought that Director Ming might mess up the role by casting her, but after a few scenes, both the actors and staff saw her talent, and their attitude towards her changed from when they first learned that she was playing the second female lead.
Director Ming nodded repeatedly as he looked at Li Ruan on the screen. "Look, she's much more natural than that other girl. If I hadn't checked her background beforehand, anyone would have thought she had formal training!"
It's so enjoyable to have good actors working together on a film. Look at that, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
The assistant director nodded in agreement: "Actor Xu is also very satisfied. This young lady is really sensible and didn't try to get close to him at all."
In the entertainment industry, there are truly very few people who can resist Xu Yingdi's face.
These two men had no idea that the sensible young girl they spoke of had already seen through the naked body of a certain difficult man.
When lunchtime finally arrived, Li Ruan could finally rest for a while. She plopped down on a chair under the parasol, and Shu Fenghua sat down next to her. He casually instructed his assistant to bring back an extra portion of food. Li Ruan said, "Give me meat, the more the better."
The assistant smiled and went to get the food.
Shu Fenghua: "How are you? Are you very tired?"
Since becoming a mother, Shu Fenghua looks at everyone like a child, overflowing with maternal love, especially little girls like Li Ruan, who are beautiful, cute, and have good acting skills. They are so sweet and gentle that it's impossible not to like them.
"I'm fine. Making money is always tiring."
Shu Fenghua said, "There's nothing we can do about being tired. Our crew is rushing to meet the deadline. Luckily, the previous incident happened when the series was about two-thirds complete. If this had happened after the series was finished, it would have been difficult to get the actors together."
Li Ruan smiled and said, "Sister Feng Hua, the people around you must be very happy every day."
Different people have different perspectives on things. Some people only complain when things go wrong, while others are always happy. Spending too much time with the former can feel oppressive, while the latter can feel relaxing.
Shu Fenghua is a person who makes you feel relaxed at all times. I'm really curious how her ex-husband could bear to let go of such a good woman.
Shu Fenghua burst out laughing. "Do you think I'm funny? Do I have a talent for this? Everyone else compliments me on my looks or how great my temperament is, but why is it so different when it comes to you!"
Shu Fenghua is indeed very beautiful, but her beauty is not the same as Li Ruan's. She has a gentle and elegant appearance, with a mature charm as a mother. In any case, she is the type that Li Ruan likes at first sight.
The assistant had already brought back the food. Shu Fenghua called to Li Ruan, "Come on, come on, eat first. We still have a bunch of filming tasks this afternoon. We're okay, we can rest for a while, but you can't, you still have to film night scenes."
Pear sweetly thanked her, "It's nothing. As long as the director can handle it, I'm fine even if I work non-stop. I understand that we need to meet the deadline. The sooner we finish filming, the sooner I can get my pay."
Shu Fenghua frowned: "Are you short of money? Do you want me to introduce you to some resources?"
Li Ruan quickly swallowed the pork belly in her mouth. "No, no, I just enjoy the thrill of making money! Really! My agent said that a lot of variety shows have been approaching me recently, but I've turned them all down. I haven't finished filming the drama yet, and I don't want to take on any other gigs."
Less than two meters away, Xu Chansheng was also eating lunch. However, he was eating his own food, and even his lunchbox was specially made.
He never eats the boxed lunches provided by the film crew, and he was even criticized for this when he first debuted.
But his background was soon exposed: he was the son of the richest man in a certain country, spoiled since childhood and never having eaten outside food. Moreover, his behavior did not cause any trouble for others, so the matter was dropped.
After all, I've never heard of someone who has money but doesn't let others spend it.
He naturally heard what Li Ruan said. He didn't expect that although the girl was a bit cheeky, she still had some good points. She was quite dedicated. You know, the resources that Shu Fenghua offered were definitely at least S-level, and she didn't even think about refusing them.
She loves money so much, I wonder if she'll regret it when she finds out the truth.
Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a bit mischievous.
"Li Ruan, the resources that Sister Shu mentioned are different from what your agent said. Don't you think it's a pity to just reject them like this?"
The resources available to those unknown 18th-tier celebrities are all second- or third-rate variety shows, and their appearance fees and quality are nowhere near what Shu Fenghua described.
Li Ruan smiled and said, "It is indeed a bit of a pity, but you can't bite off more than you can chew. My acting skills are not good to begin with, so it's better to focus on one thing at a time. If Sister Feng Hua introduces me to any more resources after the filming is finished, I will definitely seize them without hesitation!"
Xu Chansheng: Ha, could it be that there's something wrong with your eyes? There's not a trace of regret in her expression.
So, does she really love money?
Shu Fenghua picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth. She quite liked Li Ruan's straightforward personality. If she wanted something, she would say so; if she didn't want it, she would refuse. Being direct was better than anything else.
"Then focus on acting first. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Chansheng. He's the kindest person and most willing to teach you hardworking juniors."
Li Ruan inwardly vehemently refused; she would never go to Xu Chansheng! Wouldn't it be much easier to ask the director if she didn't understand something?
