There was a fruit basket on the table.
The two pretended not to see it.
"Shi Xi, I hope you can return to the crew and continue playing the role of Tang Xi," Director Yan said seriously.
Shi Xi was slightly surprised, "What? Nan Wan doesn't want to continue filming?"
Otherwise, why would Director Yan come back to her?
Chu Yuan explained, "It's not that Nan Wan didn't want to continue filming, but Director Yan was dissatisfied with Nan Wan's acting skills."
Shi Xi was even more surprised, "Then... the 50 million investment that Nan Wan brought in?"
Chu Yuan: "Director Yan would rather give up additional investment than let Nan Wan leave the crew."
Shi Xi looked at the expressionless Director Yan and said admiringly, "Director Yan is truly magnanimous!"
Director Yan took a deep breath. "I sincerely want to invite you back to the crew to continue playing the role of Tang Xi."
"I want to go back, but as you can see, my leg won't allow it." Shi Xi moved her leg awkwardly. "Tang Xi has a lot of action scenes, and even if my cast is removed, I can't move around too much."
The two looked at the cast on Shi Xi's foot and fell silent.
Chu Yuan looked at Director Yan.
He is the one who makes the decision.
The maid brought over some rose tea, and Shi Xi picked up a cup and slowly sipped it.
She had a quiet few days after injuring her ankle.
I'm starting to slack off.
If she doesn't want to act, she doesn't have to. Anyway, with the money she's saved up, she won't starve.
Chu Yuan asked in a low voice, "Director Yan, if Shi Xi goes back, we can't film the action scenes anymore, and we'll have to use a stunt double."
Director Yan dislikes actors using stunt doubles, especially lead actors.
However, Shi Xi injured her foot, so she can't perform action scenes now. Even after the cast is removed, she will still need to rest and recuperate.
This is a very difficult situation for Director Yan.
After much deliberation, Director Yan finally made up his mind and said, "It's okay, your previous scenes can all be used, there's no need to reshoot."
For the later scenes, I'll try to keep you from moving; you just need to stand there.
If there are action scenes, use a stunt double.
Director Yan has already made many concessions for Shi Xi.
Shi Xi: ...
She could see Director Yan's sincerity.
It's clear that Director Yan really wants her back on set.
I really want to know what Nan Wan did to push Director Yan to this point.
Shi Xi hesitated and said, "But I've already accepted a new script and I'll be joining the crew next month."
Director Yan's face twisted in pain. "Whose script did you take? What level of production is it?"
"It's a B-level web series that Kuai Xue Entertainment invested in themselves," Shi Xi said. "A lighthearted contemporary romance drama."
Director Yan remained expressionless. "Tang Dao Jiu Lian is an S-level satellite TV drama."
There's a difference of two levels!
Chu Yuan said to Shi Xi, "Shi Xi, why don't you call your agent over so we can all sit down and discuss how to balance your time?"
Upon hearing Chu Yuan's words, Shi Xi nodded and called Han Chuan.
Just then, time entered from outside.
"Who are you?" Shi Xu frowned slightly when he saw two strange men in his house.
They're not here to bother Xixi, are they?
"Brother, you're back." Shi Xi said, maneuvering her electric wheelchair. "This is Director Yan, the director of the TV series 'Tang Sword Nine Links'."
The other one is our male lead, Chu Yuan. He's a three-time Golden Horse Award winner, super awesome!
Upon hearing Shi Xi's introduction, Shi Xu looked at the two of them.
"This is my brother, Shi Xu," Shi Xi said, her eyes crinkling as she introduced the two.
"Hello, Mr. Shi." Chu Yuan smiled slightly.
Shi Xu walked in and asked, "I wonder what brings you two here to see Xi Xi?"
