It is very difficult for a director to pass it in one go, but Lan Shuang did it. The staff present all looked at Lan Shuang differently.
Lan Shuang didn't care because the next shot would be taken soon. She had very few scenes and it was basically finished in one day.
When she finished work in the evening, she was so tired that her back and waist ached. After changing her clothes, she was supported by Xiao Xu and walked out. The director was talking to the staff at the time. When he saw her coming out, he sent the staff away and walked over himself.
"Director Jiang."
Lan Shuang greeted him, and Director Jiang nodded and said kindly, "Thank you for your hard work today. Go home and have a good rest tonight. We should need to shoot a few more scenes tomorrow, and you can go home after that."
"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow."
Director Jiang didn't leave after saying this. Lan Shuang realized that he might have something to say to her, so she asked Xiao Xu to wait in the car first. Xiao Xu left tactfully.
Director Jiang then said, "Lan Shuang, after spending some time with you, I can see that you are a good child. You are very talented and spiritual. There are not many people like you in the circle. You are very rare."
Lan Shuang said calmly, "Director Jiang, you're too kind."
"I'm not exaggerating. I usually don't compliment people because I rarely meet anyone I want to praise. You're different. I've been in this industry for so many years and have seen so much. So I won't comment on what happened between you and Gu Ting. From an actor's perspective, I can tell you that you're a promising talent. You're dedicated and down-to-earth. Your future achievements are limitless."
Director Jiang said earnestly, "Of course, the path you choose is your own. What the future holds is entirely up to you. I'm just reminding you, young man, that you still have a long future ahead of you. I hope you can find the path you want to take."
After he finished speaking, he patted Lan Shuang's shoulder, his eyes full of the generosity and kindness of an elder.
Lan Shuang's heart suddenly trembled, and she said with emotion: "Thank you, Director Jiang. I will work hard to be a good actor."
"Okay, let's go back."
Director Jiang smiled and waved his hand, and Lan Shuang said goodbye to him and got into the car.
After the car door closed, Lan Shuang watched Director Jiang's figure gradually shrink and disappear outside the window. She sighed with emotion and said to 888, "There are still many good people in this world, but oftentimes, kindness is hidden deep in the heart and difficult to see, so people always feel that malice is overwhelming."
888 was bewildered; "Why did the host suddenly have such a feeling?"
Lan Shuang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile, "Because I suddenly figured out something."
"What?"
“Don’t be stingy with kindness, even to strangers. A little more kindness may change a person’s destiny.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a message suddenly popped up on the screen in front of 888, "Host, the resentment value has decreased again - the female supporting role's resentment value has decreased by ten, leaving seventy-five. Keep up the good work!"
The light from the street lamps was fragmented, but Lan Shuang found it beautiful. She took out her phone, took a photo, and posted it on WeChat Moments. She also sent a message to Gu Xiao: [Filming is finished. Let's eat. It's my treat.]
…
"Ah Xiao, where are we going? What are we eating?"
Huo Youshao was pulled out by Gu Xiao as soon as he finished his shift. Without even having time to change his clothes, he followed him out of the car and headed straight to a store on the outskirts of the city.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Huo Youqian frowned: "Is there anything delicious here?"
Gu Xiao glanced at him and said, "They invited you to dinner, why are you so picky? Just eat whatever they invite you to. You have so many things to do."
Huo Youqian: "..."
"It's not time for you to be so pretentious, is it? When I invited you to dinner, you either complained about the decor at this place or the ugly tables at that place. Eating out is a bunch of crap, and you have the nerve to look down on me?"
Gu Xiao: “…”
He coughed lightly, "You talk too much."
Huo Youqian: "..."
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at their destination. Gu Xiao said to Huo Youqian, "Here, this is the one."
Huo Youqian looked up at the weathered plaque and muttered, "Hot pot restaurant?"
"Shall we have hot pot?"
He widened his eyes in surprise. It was really beyond his expectation.
"Go in." Gu Xiao pushed the door open first.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Huo Youqian followed and smelled a strong smell of hot pot as soon as he entered. Fortunately, they were not celebrities. Although they had outstanding looks, other people cared more about what they were wearing - suits.
Wearing a suit while eating hotpot is indeed a bit strange. Huo Youqian felt a little embarrassed to be stared at. He followed Gu Xiao to the private room on the second floor before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as I was about to complain, the waiter had already opened the door, revealing Lan Shuang sitting inside.
“You’re here—”
Lan Shuang stood up and extended her hand towards him: "Are you Mr. Huo? Nice to meet you."
Huo Youqian stared at Lan Shuang blankly, his ears suddenly reddened, and he carefully extended his hand and shook it: "Nice to meet you."
Gu Xiao watched coldly. After sending the waiter away, he took off his suit jacket and said expressionlessly, "Did you call the number I recommended you last time?"
Huo Youqian pointed at himself blankly: "Me?"
"right."
"What phone number did you recommend me?"
Gu Xiao sneered: "It's for treating stuttering."
Huo Youqian: "..."
"You're the one who stutters, your whole family stutters, stop spreading rumors!"
He rolled up his sleeves angrily, turned to Lan Shuang and said, "Miss Lan, don't misunderstand me. I'm not stuttering. He's just talking nonsense."
Lan Shuang looked at him and smiled: "I can hear it."
Huo Youqian felt relieved and stared at Lan Shuang intently, not noticing that the volcano next to them was on the verge of erupting.
"Miss Lan is even more beautiful than what you see on TV. I didn't believe what Ah Xiao said before, but now that I've seen you in person, I think I did have some misunderstandings about you before."
Huo Youqian spoke very sincerely. Most of his previous knowledge of Lan Shuang came from what others had said, which was highly subjective and naturally affected his judgment. But when they met, Lan Shuang's temperament and eyes were completely different from those little goblins in gossip and scandals. He realized that he was wrong.
Besides, it should be said that Lan Shuang is exactly the type that Huo Youqian likes.
After saying these two sentences, not only his ears turned red, but his face turned red as well, like a shy tomato.
Gu Xiao: “…”
What are you popular for?
"A lot of people misunderstand me, and I'm used to it. If they change their minds after seeing me, I'll be very happy."
Lan Shuang raised her juice glass and asked, "I didn't order any wine, would you like some?"
"No, no, no, no."
Huo Youqian waved his hand and said, "Juice is fine, thank you."
He handed the cup over, Lan Shuang nodded, poured it for him, and moved closer, and Huo Youqian's face turned even redder.
Gu Xiao finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to grab the cup.
Huo Youqian: "??? What are you doing?"
Gu Xiao glanced at him while holding the cup: "I'm thirsty, I'll drink first."
