On the third day, Liu Rulan, who was also in the capital, came to check on Xiao He's condition and was somewhat surprised.
"That person is very honest? Not making any shady moves at all?"
Liu Rulan crossed her arms and looked around Xiao He's work environment.
"Well, I originally thought he might try something underhanded, but he didn't at all." Xiao He shrugged. "Not only that, Teacher Ren is also a really nice and enthusiastic person, so enthusiastic that I felt a little embarrassed."
“He didn’t interfere with my normal filming, and would even come over from time to time to ask me for advice on acting.”
Xiao He plays a corporate slave who is probably in his thirties and looks somewhat weathered. The production team even specially lengthened Xiao He's hair so that the hair on his forehead could just cover his eyes slightly, giving him a decadent feel. His makeup was also made more mature, so Xiao He instantly transformed from a handsome young man into a decadent and handsome uncle.
But I must say, even as he gets older, he's still handsome.
Xiao He was quite satisfied with his makeup and styling.
Xiao He originally thought that he might need to continue his makeup to make himself look uglier and older in order to complement the protagonist, but that didn't happen. Zhan Min decided on the makeup on the spot, and Ren Yibai watched from the side without any objection.
As for the filming these past few days... everything has been normal.
If the atmosphere on set hadn't been somewhat oppressive, and if Xiao He hadn't already met Ren Yibai's assistant and the prop master, he would have genuinely thought Ren Yibai was a good person.
"That's normal. Your current status is different. Not everyone is so stupid as to offend people right away."
Liu Rulan seemed to understand something, then reminded him, "However, the more two-faced a person is, the more careful you should be when dealing with them."
"Yes, I understand."
Xiao He nodded.
...
Despite Liu Rulan's warning and Xiao He's own heightened vigilance, the filming proceeded smoothly in the days that followed, without any unpleasant incidents.
Ren Yibo gave up his own dressing room and used the adjacent director's dressing room. He always treated Xiao He very well, even respectfully.
He would often offer Xiao He afternoon tea, and although Xiao He always refused, he didn't give up.
However, Xiao Gao, the assistant who almost bumped into Xiao He, was terrified when he realized that the person he almost bumped into was Xiao He. With red eyes, he quietly came over to apologize to Xiao He and hoped that Xiao He would not tell Ren Yibo about it.
Xiao He: ?
That's weird; he's not a tattletale.
He wouldn't tell Ren Yibo about such a small matter.
Besides, even if Ren Yibai found out, it wouldn't matter... right?
The stark contrast between Ren Yibai's attitude towards him and that of Ren Yibai's assistant left Xiao He completely baffled.
Watching the assistant leave, Xiao He's own assistant, Xiao Chen, came over from the side and said, "Brother Xiao, I think they're pretty nice people. This Xiao Gao even helped me carry my things when I bought coffee before, and Teacher Ren even pressed the elevator button to wait for me to go in so we could go upstairs together!"
I originally thought that Ren Yibo gave up his dressing room to set a trap for Xiao He, but after so long, things are still calm. Ren Yibo is not only nice to Xiao He, but also to the other crew members.
I really don't understand how such a depressing atmosphere was created on set.
Xiao He also shook his head and took out a pack of cigarettes.
The character he recently played is a heavy smoker, so even though Xiao He himself doesn't smoke, he tries to stay in sync with the character during filming, lighting a cigarette to calm himself down when he's feeling frustrated.
Xiao Chen kindly helped light the cigarette.
Xiao He, with a lit cigarette dangling from his lips but not smoking, leaned back lazily in his chair, crossed his legs casually, squinted at the smoke in the air, and mumbled a reminder to Xiao Chen: "No matter what, we just need to do our own thing and stay vigilant. After all, we shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but we can't be without the heart to guard against them."
