When the shooting started again, the assistant photographer uneasily climbed back onto the camera.

The script supervisor called out "Action!" and the machine started moving.

Director Xie frowned and stared at the monitor, but he couldn't help but let out a "huh". His hands that were originally supporting his knees gradually loosened, his body leaned back slightly, and his expression relaxed.

The assistant director breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that Director Xie was satisfied this time.

He looked at the assistant photographer with some curiosity, not knowing what had just happened that made him suddenly enlightened.

No one else noticed the scene where Pei Ran gave advice to the photography assistant. Only Song Yimian, who had been paying attention to Pei Ran, saw it. He asked Pei Ran with some curiosity: "What did you say to him just now?"

Pei Ran smiled and said: "Director Xie's style is more, um... retro. There are many little tricks here. I happen to have some research on this. I didn't expect to be able to help."

Song Yimian nodded, not quite understanding.

So when Shen Huai finished the call, solved the problem, and returned to the set, he saw Song Yimian following Pei Ran obediently like a little student, listening to Pei Ran talking, and nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

Shen Huai: "..."

Shen Huai just specially ordered hot drinks and fruits, which were delivered now. Seeing this, Director Xie asked everyone to rest, eat something, and then shoot again.

Song Yimian was immediately pulled away by several young actors with whom he had a good relationship.

Pei Ran walked over slowly and said to Shen Huai with a smile: "This kid is quite interesting."

His tone and smile were very friendly, but it looked incongruous with his young face.

Shen Huai: "..."

On the other side, Director Xie also called the photography assistant to his side. Obviously, Director Xie also noticed the problem with the photography assistant's sudden "enlightenment".

The photography assistant was honest and told Director Xie everything that Pei Ran told him.

Director Xie looked at Pei Ran in amazement. He saw that the boy was young and good-looking. He thought he was an artist signed by Shen Huai, but how could he be so knowledgeable about photography.

Everyone was taking a break at this time, so Director Xie simply walked over to ask in person.

Director Xie originally thought Pei Ran had only read some relevant books, but after chatting for a while, he found that he was very familiar with the operations of the crew, as if he had been in many crews.

Director Xie couldn't help but become interested, and the scope of their chat became wider and wider, not just limited to the movie "Red Actress".

It was rare for Director Xie to meet someone who could chat with him so enthusiastically. The two had very similar film concepts. Pei Ran seemed young, but he was very knowledgeable, and one could tell from his words that he had a lot of literary accomplishment.

Director Xie's love for talent was aroused, and he also sensed something while chatting with Pei Ran: "From what I heard from you, it seems that you are interested in directing?"

Pei Ran did not hide it and nodded, "Yes, I want to give it a try."

Director Xie was a man of true temperament, and he really admired Pei Ran, so he said directly: "Then you can stay in the crew first and help with the camera, and we'll have a good chat after the show." Pei Ran

smiled and said: "Thank you Director Xie for your appreciation, then I will obey your command."

Shen Huai: "..."

He originally just wanted to bring Pei Ran to the "Red Actress" crew to experience it. After all, Director Xie was notoriously strict, and he didn't dare to hold out for this hope, but found another opportunity. He just went out to make a phone call for this matter.

I didn't expect Pei Ran to get me into the crew just by chatting with Director Xie, and it was Director Xie who took the initiative to invite me. Pei

Ran's way of dealing with people and doing things are all top-notch. Even after so many years, he is still successful. He can live a prosperous life even if he is alone, and he doesn't need me as an agent at all.

Shen Huai now feels that if it weren't for his identity at the time that required a guardian, Pei Ran might not have come to him at all, so he was able to sign this big guy, probably he should thank... the country?

Director Xie was very satisfied with Pei Ran. As they chatted, he actually sighed: "I was your age when I suddenly had the dream of becoming a director. At that time, no one in my family was engaged in literary and artistic work, and they all thought I was crazy. I refused to accept it, so I went to Zhongjing alone. In the end, I really realized my dream, and I have been doing it for most of my life..."

Pei Ran listened quietly. He could see that even after so many years, Director Xie's eyes were still shining when he talked about movies.

Director Xie became interested in talking as he was talking, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what movie prompted me to enter this industry and changed my life?"

Director Xie has mentioned this many times in the interview, but Pei Ran naturally didn't know, so he followed up and asked: "What is it?"

Director Xie said enthusiastically: "It was Pei Ran's "Reborn in Flames"! When I saw this movie in the cinema, I got goose bumps all over my body. I will never forget that feeling in my life..."

Pei Ran: "..."

Shen Huai: "..."

After Director Xie finished speaking, he finally reacted and asked Pei Ran: "This movie is so famous, you should have seen it, right?"

Pei Ran: "..."

Not only did he see it, he also acted in it.

Director Xie seemed to have found a bosom friend. He had no reserve at all and excitedly chatted with him about famous scenes in the movie.

Even after the break, Director Xie was still not satisfied and pulled Pei Ran towards the monitor. Suddenly he remembered something: "By the way, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to ask you what your name is?"

Pei Ran felt the fans' enthusiastic admiration. Even though he always had some bad taste, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment.

"... Pei Ran."

Director Xie: "???"

-

After the filming of today's scenes was finished, Chu Meibo and Guo Wenyuan walked towards Shen Huai.

Others just thought they were going to welcome Shen Huai and others, so they smiled and talked to them, and then left one after another.

Guo Wenyuan had booked a restaurant nearby and did not let his assistant follow them. The five of them went to the restaurant.

In the car, Shen Huai found that Song Yimian was very natural when facing Guo Wenyuan, as if the shadow of the past had gradually left him.

In "Red Actress", most of Song Yimian's scenes were with Guo Wenyuan. At first, he was a little uncomfortable, but Guo Wenyuan was very dedicated and often reminded him, which was completely different from the terrifying figure in Song Yimian's memory.

In fact, Song Yimian was not completely unaware of some of the strange things about Ye Cang and Chu Meibo, the familiarity that Chu Meibo and Guo Wenyuan sometimes showed when chatting, and the relationship between these people and Shen Huai. But the good thing about Song Yimian is that he never gets to the bottom of things. He only knows that the people he knows have helped him a lot.

So, after dinner, Song Yimian left early on the pretext of going back to read the script, leaving the space for the four people.

As soon as Song Yimian left, Guo Wenyuan showed some unnatural restraint. He could see that Pei Ran was not right before, but he didn't see his true identity until Shen Huai introduced him, and then he understood.

He was not like Director Xie who entered this circle because of Pei Ran, but for filmmakers of their generation, Pei Ran was like the bright moon in the sky, and they could not get around it. So much so that Lao Guo, who always cared about nothing, also restrained himself a lot in front of Pei Ran.

Chu Meibo was much more natural in comparison. No matter what, those present were all her juniors.

Pei Ran realized the key point at a glance. He watched the rivalry between Chu Meibo and Guo Wenyuan and felt a sense of mutual respect for the two. In addition, they were "colleagues", and this was obviously not conducive to future friendship. He calmly changed the subject and talked about the play "Red Actress".

When it came to professional issues, the three of them obviously had more to talk about, and soon they were talking happily. Lao Guo and Chu Meibo even took out their mobile phones and exchanged WeChat with Pei Ran.

If you knew the true identities of the three people, this scene would be like a magic. However, the three people adapted well, and Lao Guo has already started to ask Pei Ran to play games together next time.

Shen Huai: "..."

He was a little bit amused, but at this moment, seeing the three big guys, he thought of Ye Cang, but he had just seen Ye Cang's schedule, and it might take a few days.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Shen Huai thought it was someone serving food, so he casually said, "Come in."

The door was slowly pushed open, and a man wearing a hat and sunglasses flashed in. Shen Huai stood up suddenly.

Ye Cang leaned against the door and closed it, then took off his sunglasses: "Ah Huai, good evening!"

Shen Huai was surprised and happy: "Aren't you still out there running announcements? How come..."

Ye Cang laughed: "I asked Director Ming to keep it a secret from you, and I'm coming to give you a surprise!"

Shen Huai took a step forward, as if he wanted to hug Ye Cang, but then he realized that he was not at home, so he paused.

Ye Cang took a step forward and hugged him tightly.

Shen Huai also reached out and hugged him back, then let go, and unconsciously adjusted his glasses to cover up his excited emotions.

Ye Cang interlocked his fingers with him without a care, and sat down.

On the other side, the three big guys who were forced to eat dog food couldn't stand it anymore. Guo Wenyuan coughed lightly and said, "Comrade Ye Cang, I understand that you want to express your feelings after a long separation, but at least give some attention to the three of us."

Shen Huai was suddenly excited and couldn't control his emotions for a while. Now he came to his senses and felt a little embarrassed, so he could only leave the private room temporarily under the pretext of going to order more dishes.

Compared to Shen Huai, Ye Cang is much more shameless: "Comrade Lao Guo, you have to be conscious to be a light bulb. Look, the other two didn't say a word?"

Chu Meibo glanced at Ye Cang with a half-smile: "I originally thought that you and Xiao Shen were busy with work and it was rare for you to see each other. I was going to leave after dinner to give you two some space, but now, I think as a light bulb, I can stay a little longer."

Pei Ran: "I seconded."

Ye Cang: "..."

Guo Wenyuan looked at the confused Ye Cang and immediately slapped the table and laughed.

So when Shen Huai came back with more dishes, he saw Ye Cang and Lao Guo starting to argue endlessly, while Chu Meibo and Pei Ran watched with a smile.

Shen Huai: "..."

Before, Meijie was the only one watching the show, but now it seems that more seats are needed.

However, Ye Cang was still no match for Lao Guo in terms of talking, and finally he could only reluctantly admit defeat. Lao Guo was in a good mood and couldn't help but drink a few more cups. When he went to the restroom, he happened to run into Ye Cang there

. Lao Guo was still proud, after all, Mei Jie and Pei Ran were both big guys who couldn't be messed with, and Xia Shiyu was a goddess, so he couldn't bear to let her go. Only Ye Cang could let him have the pleasure of talking nonsense.

Unexpectedly, Ye Cang suddenly asked out of the blue: "Do you know Pei Ran's identity?"

Lao Guo raised his eyebrows: "Of course I know."

Ye Cang: "Oh, then do you know his relationship with Tang Wanjun?"

Lao Guo: "?!!!"

Ye Cang looked sympathetic: "I sympathize with you, really."
