It took Yan Keyi ten minutes to adjust her mindset with Qin Yiran's help.
"Xiao Yan, are you ready?"
Seeing that Yan Keyi and Qin Yiran had returned, Hu Yiming first inquired about Yan Keyi's condition. After confirming that she was ready to start filming, he resumed filming.
It's unclear what Qin Yiran said to Yan Keyi, but this shoot went very smoothly in one take.
After Ning Yifeng stormed back to her office, she was approached by her senior colleague, Liang Weiqing. Upon learning of the incident Ning Yifeng was investigating, Liang Weiqing offered to help, telling her to come to her if needed.
Since joining the company, this is the first kindness Ning Yifeng has received. Because of Liang Weiqing's friendliness, Ning Yifeng regards Liang Weiqing as his first friend in the workplace.
The case they were jointly investigating involved a homeless boy who sought help from the media in hopes of finding his parents.
The little boy sought help from many media outlets, but because it was difficult to follow up on the matter and there was little explosive progress to attract public attention, many media outlets gave up reporting on the incident after trying.
After all, nobody cares. Who would care about what they do?
However, Ning Yifeng really wanted to help this little boy, so she kept following the matter. No one understood her, except for Liang Weiqing, who reached out to her.
"OK, this take is done. Xiao Yan, keep the feeling right now, take a break and we'll move on to the next one."
The filming proceeded smoothly, and everyone on the crew was quite happy. Although their first impression of Yan Keyi was good, who doesn't like to leave work on time? Avoiding delays is definitely the best approach.
There were actually quite a few people in the crew who initially looked down on Yan Keyi, even though they knew that she was an ordinary person who was discovered by Hu Yiming outside and was invited to join the crew because he thought her image was suitable.
But this is ultimately a supporting role. For every person who auditioned but failed, there are just as many people eyeing Yan Keyi's position.
But this was her first time filming today, and although there were a few hiccups, overall her performance was quite amazing.
Furthermore, it's obvious to everyone that Qin Yiran is quite protective of Yan Keyi. Even if they don't like Yan Keyi, they'll all show her respect out of respect for Qin Yiran.
"Xiao Yan, is this really your first time acting? Your performance is really good!"
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, I feel like you are the rising star of tomorrow. Can you sign your autograph for me first? That way, when you become famous, I can proudly say that I am your long-time fan with your autograph."
"Xiao Yan..."
Yan Keyi didn't know what was going on. After one scene, a bunch of people suddenly surrounded her and started flattering her. Yan Keyi genuinely felt that she wasn't as good as they said, and their comments put her in a very awkward position.
Seeing those people flattering Yan Keyi and occasionally glancing at her furtively, even if Qin Yiran was stupid, she should know what they were up to.
Moreover, Qin Yiran may not say anything, but she knows exactly what's going on in her mind.
"Xiao Yan, come here, I'll talk to you about the scenes later."
Although Director Hu would still give instructions when filming officially started, Qin Yiran felt helpless seeing Yan Keyi surrounded by people and looking like she didn't know what to do, so she simply called her away.
After Qin Yiran said that, naturally no one dared to stop them.
But after they disappeared from everyone's sight, those who had just been praising Yan Keyi suddenly changed their tune.
"I wonder what Director Hu and Teacher Qin saw in this woman? She doesn't seem that outstanding."
Those who had been praising Yan Keyi earlier were now mocking her, and none of them had remained as flattering as before.
"Hehe, she knows how to pretend and act cute."
Hearing everyone else criticizing Yan Keyi, Li Ying offered her own assessment.
The female lead in the production is clearly Qin Yiran, but the award-winning actress is too aloof and doesn't usually hang out with them. If she tries too hard to flatter Qin Yiran, she might be marketed as trying to ride on her coattails.
As for the second female lead, Yan Keyi? She's just an unknown newcomer who's never been well-liked. If Qin Yiran hadn't valued her, who would want to bother with her?
Therefore, most of the other actors in the crew were led by Li Ying, who had a good reputation and popularity.
They didn't particularly like Yan Keyi to begin with, and now that they heard Li Ying's comments, they all assumed Li Ying knew something inside. Although they didn't dare ask, they all agreed with her.
In addition, they are a group of people who fawn over the powerful and look down on the weak. Now that they don't have someone they respect, they naturally look down on Yan Keyi.
"You have to take responsibility for your own words."
When a strange voice suddenly rang out behind them, they were all startled. Being caught talking badly about someone makes you feel a little guilty.
But who is this person? I don't think I've ever seen them before.
The group looked at each other, none of them speaking, but their eyes were all scrutinizing Jiang Ning.
Only Li Ying's face turned pale when she saw Jiang Ning—why is it this woman again?
"Oh? You're not wearing your Last of Night today. Miss Li, we meet again."
When Li Ying glared at her resentfully, Jiang Ning was also looking at her.
When Jiang Ning heard from Qin Yiran that Yan Keyi had suffered some grievances today, he couldn't contain himself. The company happened to have a sample to deliver to a partner company. Normally, Jiang Ning wouldn't need to make the trip himself, but because the company was nearby, he went there personally.
After finishing his work, Jiang Ning went straight to the film set. Unexpectedly, upon arriving, he overheard the crew discussing Yan Keyi.
Jiang Ning was worried that these words might cause internal conflict within Yan Keyi, and he didn't know if Yan Keyi was aware of them.
In the middle of the crowd, Jiang Ning spotted Li Ying at first glance.
It's obvious who's in charge.
Jiang Ning herself wouldn't bear to bully a child like her, so how could she tolerate others insulting her? Sure enough, Jiang Ning brought up the necklace again, and Li Ying's face clearly darkened.
But the others didn't know what had happened before. They only heard "Last of Night" and assumed that Li Ying was lucky enough to get the necklace. They started to flatter Li Ying, not knowing that the more they flattered her, the uglier she would look.
