After Pei Zhi finished her makeup and changed her clothes, she prepared to wait for her turn.
The director was filming Fan Yunshu's scene. Pei Zhi approached and heard the director's angry roar.
"Are you blind? Get your emotions flowing! Be emotional!"
The entire crew was silenced by the director's shouts; no one dared to utter a sound for fear of getting into trouble.
Fan Yunshu's face turned bright red as the scene was filmed over and over again.
Fan Yunshu has good acting skills, otherwise he wouldn't have become famous.
Fan Yunshu felt resentful about making this film, so he naturally didn't take it too seriously.
The director, being a perfectionist, also used very harsh language in his criticisms.
Fan Yunshu looked up and met Pei Zhi's gaze, her face turning even redder.
The director was so angry he had a headache. "Alright, alright, let's take a ten-minute break."
"Are you watching the show here?"
Pei Zhi turned around, and Chi Xiuwen appeared behind her without her noticing.
"No, I'm waiting in the wings."
"We might not be able to film your scenes today, why don't you go and rest for a bit?"
Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow. "You have a sharp tongue."
Fan Yunshu only has one scene today, but Chi Xiuwen's words make it sound like Fan Yunshu won't even get through the day.
If that were the case, the director would probably be furious.
After his break, Fan Yunshu returned to the film set.
Pei Zhi and Fan Yunshu locked eyes. Pei Zhi didn't say anything, but simply raised an eyebrow at Fan Yunshu and smiled.
Pei Zhi believed that her smile was encouraging.
Tell Fan Yunshu to get into character quickly and start filming.
The outdoor temperature today is at least around 40 degrees Celsius.
When Fan Yunshu met Pei Zhi's gaze, he became even angrier and lost his composure.
This scene required Fan Yunshu's expressive eyes, and the director, being a very meticulous person, demanded perfection.
Fan Yunshu was in a bad mood, and Pei Zhi was watching from the sidelines. Fan Yunshu always felt that Pei Zhi was laughing at her.
For a moment, it wasn't as good as the previous one.
The director was so angry that he threw the script down on the spot, yelling, "Film, film my ass! What kind of performance is this?"
"How did you win awards before? With acting skills like yours, you wouldn't even qualify for the Golden Broom Award."
When the director got angry, he said some harsh things.
In fact, everyone on the crew, including Chi Hsiu-wen, would get scolded by the director.
That's how big directors are; if they don't like someone, they just start criticizing them.
Chi Xiuwen tugged at Pei Zhi, "Let's go, let's rest in the car for a while, this won't be over anytime soon."
Pei Zhi was too lazy to stand in the scorching sun, so she nodded and followed Chi Xiuwen into the RV one after the other.
Everyone in the crew was busy filming, and no one noticed the little things Chi Xiuwen and Pei Zhi were doing.
As soon as they got in the car, Chi Xiuwen hugged Pei Zhi in his arms.
"Don't move your hands, this is a cheongsam."
Pei Zhi's costume today is a white cheongsam, and it would be difficult to fix if it got wrinkled.
Chi Xiuwen buried his head in Pei Zhi's neck, "This outfit looks good, it really shows off your figure."
Pei Zhi said softly, "Then shall I wear this to your room tonight?"
Chi Xiuwen replied, "I'm coming to find you. Just wait for me after you've finished showering."
Chi Xiuwen nuzzled Pei Zhi's face and couldn't resist kissing her.
Even though the clothes weren't moved much, the lone man and woman still managed to break a sweat while together.
There was a knock on the RV door. "The director is calling for us to wait in line."
Pei Zhi pushed Chi Xiuwen away, "I'll get off first, you can get off later."
"What's there to be afraid of? If they took the picture, so be it."
Pei Zhi gently pushed Chi Xiuwen away, "I don't want to become a thorn in everyone's side."
Chi Xiuwen has countless women watching him, both inside and outside the entertainment industry.
Pei Zhi didn't want to cause trouble for herself if people found out that she had a close relationship with Chi Xiuwen.
Chi Xiuwen's assistant was waiting outside. After Pei Zhi got out of the car, she walked towards the dressing room.
He bumped right into Fan Yunshu, who was coming out of the restroom.
Fan Yunshu's eyes were red, and it looked like he had been crying.
The two of them just stood there, looking at each other.
Pei Zhi nodded and walked towards the dressing room.
"Pei Zhi, you're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you?"
Pei Zhi: "?"
Fan Yunshu wiped his cheek with the back of his hand. "Relying on your connections to steal other people's resources, don't you feel guilty?"
“I’m different from you. I rely on myself, so you’ll never be as good as me.”
Pei Zhi retorted, "Why should I compare myself to you?"
"And whose resources did I steal? Do you think that if I didn't act in this movie, you could become the female lead?"
Pei Zhi rolled her eyes rather rudely. "This movie had a total investment of 800 million, all of which I found myself. What am I guilty of?"
Pei Zhi never believed that she had stolen anyone's resources or used anyone's opportunities.
This movie is set in the Republican era, and it's a bit of a niche film.
The director was eager to make the film, but the investment was so high that no one dared to invest.
It was Pei Zhi who saw that the script was good and found investors, which is why she invited Chi Xiuwen.
With a renowned director and a box office king who has grossed billions, this movie immediately became a hot commodity.
But without Pei Zhi reading the script, it's uncertain when this movie would have even started.
"If you want, you can invest your own money and have a great time acting it out."
After saying that, Pei Zhi ignored Fan Yunshu and went straight into the dressing room.
Fan Yunshu stood there, his face flushed with anger at Pei Zhi.
What happened to your lips? They're a little swollen. Did you eat something spicy?
Fan Yunshu stood outside the dressing room and overheard two scattered sentences.
Pei Zhi's mouth?
Secretary Fan Yun realized that she had noticed something was off about Pei Zhi earlier.
Her face was flushed, and her lips were red, as if...
Fan Yunshu wasn't someone who had never been in a relationship; she was just too angry to notice.
Directly in front, Chi Xiuwen got off the RV.
Fan Yunshu squinted and noticed the lipstick stain on Chi Xiuwen's lips.
Pei Zhi and Chi Xiuwen? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
How could Chi Xiuwen have taken a liking to Pei Zhi?
Chi Hsiu-wen holds a very high position in the industry, and his film and television resources and awards are top-notch.
Fan Yunshu had previously given Chi Xiuwen hints, but was rejected without hesitation.
Chi Xiuwen clearly knew that Pei Zhi was not a clean person, so how could he possibly have anything to do with Pei Zhi?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
How could Chi Xiuwen have taken a liking to Pei Zhi?
Chi Xiuwen has held an extraordinary position in the industry for many years, and most importantly, he has never had any ambiguous relationships with any female stars in the industry.
Fan Yunshu refused to believe that Chi Xiuwen would be blind enough to fall for Pei Zhi.
Fan Yunshu was in very poor condition today, so the director had to postpone her scenes.
So, it was Pei Zhi and Chi Xiuwen's turn to have their scenes.
The crew found the scenes between Pei Zhi and Chi Xiuwen to be a pleasure to watch.
Both actors were in excellent form, and neither was out of sync with the other.
The director also had a lot of fun filming, and a scene was completed in three or four takes.
Fan Yunshu sat in the corner observing; in reality, he was watching the state of Chi Xiuwen and Pei Zhi.
