"Isn't this funny?" The two minor characters who were badmouthing Jiang Hua were terrified. "Heh, so you know fear now? If you know fear, why are you still spouting these so-called profound words?" Just as Jiang Hua was about to unleash her verbal attack, Xu Li rushed in and said, "Hua Hua!" Jiang Hua moved her head slightly, but she didn't turn around. "Hua Hua, I finally found you! What are you doing here? Come on, didn't we agree to go eat?" Jiang Hua didn't move, so Xu Li simply pulled her to his side and dragged her away. The two young actors could still clearly hear Jiang Hua's cursing and swearing, and they were speechless for a moment.
"Let go! Xu Li, I'm warning you, if you don't let go, I'll never talk to you again! Stop pulling me, slow down!" Jiang Hua vented all her anger on Xu Li, but Xu Li didn't say anything, just walked quietly, pulling her along as he listened.
Jiang Hua finally couldn't hold back any longer and used all her strength to shake off his arm. "What exactly do you want!" Xu Li, seeing that he seemed to have really angered Jiang Hua, explained, "I'm sorry, Hua Hua, I didn't mean it, but... I don't want you to get into arguments with others..." Jiang Hua hadn't even vented her anger yet, and now Xu Li's words made her even angrier. "What right do you have to be so harsh?" "Yes, I don't have any right, but I'm your friend. I can't just watch you strain your relationships with others on this set, and I also hope that you won't be misunderstood..." Jiang Hua fell silent. Yes, if it weren't for Xu Li just now, who knows what she would have become on the set? Would the director's fake facade have been shattered? Nobody could say for sure.
Jiang Hua slowly took a step or two forward. Xu Li watched her quietly, without moving. Seeing that Xu Li didn't move, Jiang Hua said, "Didn't we say we were going to eat? What time is it now?" A smile appeared on Xu Li's face. He knew Jiang Hua wasn't angry anymore, so he ran to Jiang Hua's side like a child. Slowly, they walked down the street again, chatting about things in life, just like before...
restaurant
"The food's here—" The waiter enthusiastically brought the dishes over, steaming hot and inviting. The soft lighting made Xu Li and Jiang Hua, who were already starving, even more hungry. "Ah, I'm starving!" Xu Li exclaimed, then started stuffing food into his mouth, ignoring how hot it was. As a result, he made "huffing and puffing" sounds with food in his mouth, which made Jiang Hua laugh. Xu Li glanced at her, "What are you laughing at... Is it that funny?" Jiang Hua quickly shook her head, "No, no, you continue." Xu Li ignored Jiang Hua and continued eating.
After a long time, Jiang Hua and Xu Li were both full. Xu Li patted his stomach and exclaimed, "I'm so full..." Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Yes, we've never had such hot and delicious food on set before." Xu Li nodded as if he wanted to shake his head off, "Yes, yes, yes."
It seemed like just yesterday at this time, they were still filming. This was probably the fourth time the director had yelled "cut!" The director frowned, but didn't dare say anything to Jiang Hua, only scolding Xu Li and the lighting and camera crew. "Ugh... at this rate, we won't be able to eat until 10 pm tonight," Jiang Hua said, taking a sip of water to ease her hunger. "Yeah... the director's standards are pretty high; if the lighting isn't right, we have to start over." Xu Li groaned, "When will this ever end?!" Jiang Hua patted his back, "Keep going, probably still several months away." Xu Li sighed, and Jiang Hua handed him a bottle of water. "Have a drink to calm down; it's better than an empty stomach." Xu Li took the water and said "thank you." The two sat like that for a while, then it was just one take after another. Xu Li eventually became impatient and wanted to argue with the director, but Jiang Hua stopped her and shook her head. Finally, the scene was over, and the director finally said, "Go eat!" The actors who had already finished eating looked at them with amusement. When Xu Li and Jiang Hua opened their lunch boxes, they found that the food was almost frozen, but out of their instinctive hunger, they still ate the cold lunch boxes.
My mouth got cold and I wanted to eat something to warm it up, but I found that even the food was cold.
"How did we manage to eat that food yesterday? I still find it unbelievable. I can't believe I ate that kind of food, and I had to put up with all those stares from the people around me!" Xu Li said indignantly. "Just bear with it, it'll be fine once filming is over." "Filming over? I can't stand it. Looks like I'll have to eat out from now on." He then shoveled another mouthful of rice into his mouth.
After a while, the restaurant gradually emptied out, and Jiang Hua realized that it was getting late. Looking at Xu Li across from her, she asked, "Are you done eating?" Xu Li nodded. "Yes, I'm done." Jiang Hua got up to call the waiter over, but Xu Li stopped her. "I'll pay. I said I'd treat." "When did you say you'd treat?" Jiang Hua protested. "I, I, I did say that. Besides, you treated me the past few days, so I'll pay this time." Jiang Hua put down her bag and let Xu Li pay.
After paying, Jiang Hua got up to leave, but Xu Li grabbed her wrist. "Don't go... let's sit a little longer, we don't have any scenes tonight anyway," Xu Li pleaded, making a pitiful face. Jiang Hua couldn't resist him, so she sat down again. Looking at Xu Li's silly grin across from her, Xu Li spoke up: "Did you act in 'xxx' before?" Jiang Hua nodded, and Xu Li immediately put on an expression of "I admire you so much, you're so amazing, you're my goddess." "I've seen it too! It's really good, your acting is great, how come you weren't the lead actress?" Jiang Hua saw the confusion in Xu Li's eyes and sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she played along perfectly: "Oh, no, you used to sing too, right? You sang really well!" Jiang Hua actually hated this kind of mutual flattery, but little did she know, she was doing the very thing she hated most.
A burst of flattery.
The person holding the camera nearby couldn't help but smile as they looked at the results. "Now the editor probably won't scold me anymore... Hahaha, this is big news!"
