In terms of star power, Ji Yuwei and Ming Xin are about the same; both of them are considered popular actresses who rose to fame with just one drama.
But now Ji Yuwei has an additional layer of identity as the rumored daughter of the Ji family.
Wherever he goes, he is surrounded by people.
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes for a moment before she slowly looked away.
He looked at his assistant and asked, "The actress you mentioned who played Bai Qiuxue before her rebirth, could it be this Ji Yuwei?"
The assistant, unaware of the relationship between Jiang Nian and Ji Yuwei, replied, "Yes, Yuwei is the female lead in our drama, so today's scenes are filmed with this little Lin sister and Yuwei together."
It's Ji Yuwei, filming today's scene with Lin Ruru.
Moreover, it was a bullying scene.
Jiang Nian's face was expressionless.
What a coincidence!
Just as Jiang Nian turned her head, Ji Yuwei also happened to look in this direction.
The moment she saw Jiang Nian, her eyes widened and her expression changed.
Clearly, he hadn't expected to see Jiang Nian in such a place.
"Yuwei's here! Come over here quickly," Director Li Mu called out.
Ji Yuwei managed to suppress the matter of the wrongly delivered bouquet of fireflies yesterday.
The thought that the bouquet of flowers might have been meant for Jiang Nian filled her with jealousy.
Ji Yuwei clenched her fist, put on a polite smile again, and walked up to the director: "Director Li, I'm here."
He then pretended not to recognize Jiang Nian and looked over, asking, "Who are these two...?"
"Oh, this is the body double we found for Mingxin's scene today; she's a high school student. As for the one next to her..."
It was only then that the director noticed Jiang Nian.
Just like the assistant from before, I was also amazed by the girl at first glance.
The assistant then introduced, "This is Lin Daiyu's deskmate; she came with her."
"Oh? So you're deskmates," Ji Yuwei smiled. "Today shouldn't be a day off, so you must have taken the day off to come along. It seems the two of you have a very good relationship."
"Yes, Jiang Nian is my good friend. She took a day off to come and keep me company." Lin Ruru couldn't see through Ji Yuwei's honeyed words and daggers. She couldn't help but praise Jiang Nian when she mentioned her.
"I didn't expect to see Miss Ji here. What a coincidence."
Ji Yuwei pretended not to know her, and Jiang Nian was too lazy to say anything more.
His expression was cold and indifferent, and his whole being exuded a sense of aloofness and detachment.
As long as Ji Yuwei doesn't cause any trouble, she can ignore her.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get ready and start our first scene today."
At the director's command, everyone on set got to work.
This Li Mu can be considered a talented director.
Rather than filming strictly according to a pre-set script, he often changes the plot on set based on the actors' performances or his own inspiration.
Therefore, the script he provided only contained general plot descriptions and dialogues, giving the actors a lot of room for improvisation.
For example, the script that Lin Ruru received only had a few lines of text.
[Time and Location: After school, in the classroom]
[Characters: Bai Qiuxue and Cheng Lan during their high school years before their rebirth]
[Plot Development: During the day, Cheng Lan accidentally bumped into Bai Qiuxue's milk tea, staining her skirt. After school, Bai Qiuxue and her friends cornered Cheng Lan in the classroom, bullied her, and forced her to submit to them.]
The director also said that the highlights and lines of this scene are all on Ji Yuwei, and Lin Ruru only needs to bear the pain from her and react to the lines randomly.
For the parts that really required close-up shots and lines, Mingxin would reshoot them herself in post-production.
This was also Lin Ruru's first time experiencing something like this. After changing her clothes and putting on makeup, she was already nervous enough.
Furthermore, the fact that she was standing in front of a female celebrity she had only ever seen on TV and online before made her even more apprehensive.
"Don't be afraid," Jiang Nian said, noticing Lin Ruru's nervousness. "I'll be watching you. We'll go back after we're done filming, and I'll treat you to strawberry ice cream."
"Yes, I'll film it well!" Lin Ruru's eyes lit up when she heard about strawberry ice cream, and she nodded vigorously.
I took a deep breath, mustered my courage, and then stepped forward.
At this moment, Ji Yuwei had already changed into the school uniform from the drama and put on exquisite makeup.
To fit the image of a wealthy heiress, she must have applied whitening cream from head to toe.
At least, the Ji Yuwei that Jiang Nian saw at home had a skin tone that was at least two shades darker than it is now, which shows she was quite dedicated.
With the director's shout of "Action!" from his chair, the set fell completely silent.
All eyes were focused on Ji Yuwei and Lin Ruru in the scene.
"Cheng Lan, you did it on purpose when you knocked over my milk tea today, didn't you?"
The story begins with Lin Ruru being pushed to the ground against the back wall of the classroom, her hair disheveled and trembling.
Bai Qiuxue, played by Ji Yuwei, walks up to her and judges her from a superior position.
"I didn't, I didn't..."
"No?" Ji Yuwei sneered. "Didn't you hate me a lot last time for falsely accusing you of cheating, which led to the school canceling your first-place grade and scholarship?"
"You...you did this?"
"So what if I did it?"
Ji Yuwei snorted coldly.
Immediately afterwards, her originally beautiful face turned ferocious, revealing her true colors.
"How dare you, someone whose family is dirt poor and who has never even attended a tutoring class, get higher grades than me and even dare to be number one? You don't deserve it!"
"You brought all of this on yourself!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yuwei's expression changed drastically.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped down hard without warning.
This was supposed to be a moment of restraint, and the camera only focused on Ji Yuwei.
As long as you have the momentum and manage to hit someone, that's enough.
The voice can be dubbed later.
But everyone present heard that loud, clear slap.
