Shu Mei originally thought it was a call for his order, so he dazedly pressed the answer button and said vaguely, "I'll open the door right away."
A deep laugh came from the other end of the phone. The middle-aged man's voice was domineering but also doting. He said, "Girl, who are you going to open the door for?"
When Shu Mei heard the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, she immediately came to her senses. In this virtual time and space, the only middle-aged man who could call her "daughter" was the father of the female supporting character Meng Shu Mei, Meng Tiangang, the current chairman of Tianyu Entertainment Company.
While she was in a daze, Meng Tiangang said with dissatisfaction: "It's only what time and you're already asleep. I told you not to go to film but you didn't listen. Now look, you're so tired."
When he heard Shu Mei's vague voice on the phone, he knew that Shu Mei had been sleeping before. He had always doted on Shu Mei, and thought that Shu Mei went to bed so early because she was exhausted, so he blamed her with dissatisfaction, but it was also out of genuine love and doting for Meng Shu Mei.
Shu Mei then smiled and said coquettishly, "Dad, filming is not tiring. I sleep here because I have nothing to do and I am bored."
Meng Tiangang naturally didn't believe it. He snorted and laughed, clearly showing his disapproval.
Shu Mei rubbed her still wet long hair helplessly, thinking in her mind that Meng Tiangang was extremely good to his daughter, the supporting actress Meng Shu Mei. The supporting actress's current tsundere personality was largely due to the pampering of her father. And it was precisely because of his unconditional love for his daughter that he subtly influenced the attitude of the male protagonist and other people in the company towards the supporting actress, which made the supporting actress so flattered and valued. Didn't the female protagonist also see this point?
Shu Mei lifted her long hair to her ears and changed the subject with a smile: "Dad, how come you have time to call me today? Is there something wrong?"
"If nothing happens, I can't call you. You are my dear daughter!" Meng Tiangang kept nagging, and then said, "You have been out for so long, and I haven't seen you take the initiative to call home. Is it because your mother didn't call you, so you didn't know to call back? You really had a lot of fun outside!"
Shu Mei knew that Meng Shu Mei had indeed gone crazy, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she interrupted him and said, "How could that be? I miss Dad, too. By the way, Dad, how is my brother now?"
Shu Mei was more concerned about this mission, and it happened that the first mission was completed shortly after the heroine was reborn.
According to the plot of the novel, the hero should have met the heroine Yun Liuyu during the time when Meng Shumei was filming, but the specific time of their meeting was not accurate to the year, month, and day, so it can only rely on the development of the plot. The only thing Shumei knew clearly was that the heroine and the hero have not met yet, but judging from the plot, it should have happened in the last few days.
Hearing this, Meng Tiangang pulled his lips with a bit of jealousy, sighed exaggeratedly, and then muttered: "You only miss your brother, but you don't even call to ask... But your brother is much better than you. He really loves you. Seeing that you haven't called home for more than half a month, he is afraid that you have been wronged on the set. Look, he happened to be going to your place to sign the contract these days, and he stopped by to see you on the way."
Shu Mei's heart suddenly calmed down, and he thought: This means that the hero Meng Shulin will come to the hotel in the next few days to meet the heroine? It seems that she needs to seize the opportunity to facilitate the acquaintance of the hero and heroine.
After Shu Mei had a definite arrangement for the task that she had been worried about, she relaxed completely. She held the phone and said a few sweet and coquettish words to Meng Tiangang, making him happy before she hung up the phone.
Shu Mei threw her slightly hot cell phone onto the bed. Now she couldn't fall asleep, so she got up, picked up the hair dryer from the bedside table, and dried her wet hair. After eating the meal sent by the hotel, she recalled the plot and fell asleep comfortably.
The next day, because it was raining heavily outside, the following scenes had to be shot outdoors, so the director delayed the shooting task and gave everyone a holiday.
When this news came out, everyone was really surprised, because since the filming of "Beauty Harem" started, almost every day of the shooting schedule has been fully scheduled, and the director is more strict than before, and has never given a day off. Therefore, he has gained a reputation as a "workaholic" in the crew. In the past, let alone heavy rain, even if it was a rainstorm, they would not give holidays, but today the director relented, how could it not surprise everyone.
So, everyone quickly joked that it was going to rain red rain, and asked the "workaholic" director to give everyone a holiday. However, Shu Mei knew it very well.
She knew that the director was working so hard and seriously because there was a rich girl like her in the crew. After all, this drama was originally invested and filmed by Meng Shulin for his sister's interests. If it was not well filmed, the director's position in the entertainment industry would be lost, and the company would be dissatisfied with him.
The director is an intelligent man, and having been in society for so many years, he can see Meng Shumei's character at a glance. He knows that although Meng Shumei is spoiled, he still takes this play very seriously, so he puts a lot of energy into this play. He would rather work hard and leave a good impression on the people above him than be lazy and ruin his own future.
The reason for today's holiday is because Shu Mei's brother, the general manager of Tianyu Entertainment Company, is coming over. So he naturally can't let everyone shoot in the heavy rain anymore, and he has to make time to receive the general manager.
Shu Mei sat on the stool by the window, looking at the heavy rain outside the window bored. The rhythmic sound of rain in his ears made people feel happy. After all, he had been basking in the sun for so many days, and he finally looked forward to the heavy rain. Even Shu Mei couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Beside her were several crew members who were playing Landlord and having a lot of fun. Shu Mei glanced at them for a few seconds and then looked away. After his eyes passed over a lazy silhouette, he pursed his lips unconsciously.
She still thinks the heroine is a little weird, but when she sees how the heroine inadvertently makes her personal assistant fool around, she feels that she is being too nervous and thinking too much.
Shu Mei followed Yun Liuyu's half-closed eyes and looked at the female assistant who was pouring tea with a bitter face. This female assistant was also an important female supporting role in the plot. Her name was Bai Yuhe, a typical vicious female supporting role of the white lotus and green tea bitch type.
The reason why the heroine was injured and disfigured during filming in her previous life was because this woman and Yan Changan were secretly plotting. After that, she framed the heroine in every possible way and instigated Yan Changan to sell the heroine to a film company to pay off her debts. When the heroine decisively refused to divorce, she took advantage of the chaos to push the heroine, causing the heroine to die in such an unclear manner. No wonder the heroine became completely evil after her rebirth.
Shu Mei stared at Bai Yuhe carefully. Looking at this woman's adorable appearance, one could never tell that her methods were so vicious. At this moment, her movements of making tea were as graceful as flowing water, but her eyes were acting out a wonderful drama.
She seemed to be crying and wanted to say something but was hesitant. She was obviously very aggrieved, but she was holding it back. Her eyes would occasionally glance at Yun Liuyu, and without waiting for the other party to react, she would immediately lower her head and bite her lips. An outsider who was not in the know would not know what to think of her look, but this was exactly what Bai Yuhe had in mind.
After traveling through so many virtual time and space, Shu Mei is most disgusted with such female supporting roles. However, almost every virtual world has one or more characters of this type, which allows Shu Mei to adapt to it. After all, haven't you seen pigs run even if you haven't eaten pork? Although I have never acted in a role, I have learned a lot and am just waiting for the opportunity to act in a role.
Shu Mei's attention was distracted unconsciously, and Bai Yuhe's performance finally had an audience.
A fat man of medium build wearing glasses came over and sat down next to Bai Yuhe. After adjusting his glasses, he said, "Yuhe, what's wrong with you? Who made you feel wronged? I'll teach him a lesson!"
Shu Mei only heard the second half of the sentence and couldn't help laughing. She looked at the short and fat young man and immediately recognized that he was the screenwriter of the crew. He rarely appeared on the set on weekdays, but today it rained and the crew took a break, so she played with everyone in the lounge of the hotel.
Shu Mei laughed out loud, with a strong hint of sarcasm, which made the fat screenwriter's face turn red immediately.
Bai Yuhe didn't expect that Meng Shumei, who usually didn't talk much, would interrupt her midway. She was very dissatisfied, but her eyes looked at Yun Liuyu. She obviously ignored Shumei and answered the fat screenwriter's words with her eyes.
The fat screenwriter immediately said to Yun Liuyu: "Xiao Yun, although Yu He is your assistant, she is not your slave. Everyone is having fun on this rainy day, but you are so arrogant and sit aside. You even insist that Yu He pour you tea and water. You are acting out your acting, right?"
Yun Liuyu didn't say anything, but sat up straight, folded his hands on his legs, and smiled nonchalantly.
Bai Yuhe's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had long felt that Yun Liuyu had been acting strangely recently, and today she felt that she had been too careless in her attempts. No matter how jealous she was of Yun Liuyu, Yun Liuyu was still her boss, so she naturally didn't want to offend him. However, she was unwilling to let Yun Liuyu off like that.
Moreover, she slept with the assistant director last night and only then did she know that the general manager was coming to visit the set. Bai Yuhe knew that although she was beautiful, it was not good enough in the entertainment industry. What she was best at on weekdays was to take advantage of the weak. When she was able to come to Yun Liuyu as an assistant, she stepped on several women to get to her current position.
Yun Liuyu gave her a chance at the beginning, allowing her to step forward step by step. Bai Yuhe was grateful in her heart, but she soon realized that Yun Liuyu was also a newcomer who had just come to the fore. She could not give her a chance, so she could only become a stepping stone for her like those before her. Bai Yuhe did not feel guilty, but said to herself: One day when she becomes successful, she will give Yun Liuyu another chance.
So, Bai Yuhe continued to perform the same drama as before, thinking that the time was almost up and the general manager would arrive at the hotel at about this time, so she said sadly: "Sister Yun, it was all Yuhe's fault before, please forgive me."
Yun Liuyu narrowed his eyes and said lazily, "Oh, what have you done wrong? If there is any fault, it's my fault. As your boss, I actually asked you to pour tea and water for me. You really don't know your limits."
Shu Mei immediately laughed. She originally thought that the heroine was weird, but after hearing what Er said, all her doubts and puzzlements disappeared. After all, the heroine was very much like the sharp-tongued character in the novel.
She was so happy that she was overjoyed, but Bai Yuhe and the fat screenwriter became annoyed. Yun Liuyu was fine, after all, he was a well-known actor in China, but what about Meng Shumei? Wasn't he just a young actor who had just debuted? How dare you laugh at them like this.
So, the fat screenwriter immediately yelled at Shu Mei, "What are you laughing at? Watch out or I'll teach you a lesson!"
Shu Mei raised her eyebrows. She never minded stepping on cannon fodder characters like these with low IQs.
But before she could say anything, she heard a deep and magnetic male voice saying, "Who are you going to give a hard time to?"
