After inspecting the filming location in the morning, Gu Cixi prepared to return to the capital.
Before leaving, I had a private chat with Si Zhuoxi and took Li Qianwen back with me, saying that I would arrange for her to mentor a new artist.
While Si Jinyan was waiting for her second senior brother to return, she was eating her second chicken leg.
Si Zhuoxi picked up the lunchbox and naturally placed the chicken leg on Si Jinyan's plate, saying, "Eat more."
"Second Senior Brother, Director Liu just gave me a chicken leg, and I'm a little too full to eat anymore," Si Jinyan said to Si Zhuoxi with a smile after swallowing the chicken in his mouth.
Chicken drumsticks are delicious, but showing off three at once is a bit of a challenge.
"Okay, then I'll save some for you tonight, or you can eat it if you're hungry this afternoon?" Si Zhuoxi doesn't like chicken legs, and he spends his whole day filming in a wheelchair, so he doesn't need much physical strength.
"Okay!" Si Jinyan was happy just looking at the chicken leg; to be precise, he was happy as long as there was meat in it.
Gu Qingqing had already removed the makeup from the back of her head; she wouldn't need it for the scene she was filming that afternoon.
Si Zhuoxi ate very elegantly, and when he saw Gu Qingqing arrive, he asked her to sit next to him.
"You played great today. Keep doing this from now on. If you can't find your rhythm, think about things in your life, and you'll get used to it." Si Zhuoxi wasn't one to be stingy with praise.
Gu Qingqing was overjoyed as she held her lunchbox. Her eyes sparkled and welled up with tears as she looked at Si Zhuoxi. It was a wonderful thing to receive recognition from others.
A sweet feeling welled up inside me, even though it seemed like Si Zhuoxi was gentle to everyone.
She was willing to bury this affection deep in her heart and silently wait for Si Zhuoxi.
But what she didn't know was that her brother had already made a direct approach!
Si Jinyan carefully put the chicken leg into a clean lunchbox, so she could have a leg to satisfy her craving if she got hungry in the afternoon.
"Director Liu, you're filming here too?" Lin Feifei, Zhou Jiayou, and another woman whose identity was unknown walked over from the other side of the bamboo grove.
Liu Hongquan looked up and saw the person who had come in. "It's Young Master Zhou."
People in the industry still prefer to call Zhou Jiayou "Young Master Zhou," or "Young Master of the Beijing Circle."
Liu Hongquan didn't greet the other two, not because of their status, but because there was no point in greeting them. Mainly because Lin Feifei wasn't likable.
Lin Feifei was quite dissatisfied with Liu Hongquan's disregard, but she didn't say anything.
"Where's Li Qianwen? I haven't seen her." Lin Feifei glanced around but couldn't find Li Qianwen, so she couldn't help but ask.
But no one paid any attention to her, so she stomped her foot angrily.
Why is everyone ignoring me?
"They don't know you, why should they bother with you?" Zhou Jiayou wasn't there to cause trouble, he just came over for a stroll since they were nearby.
He had heard that Si Jinyan was a stunt double here and that his action scenes were excellent, so he came specifically to see this promising newcomer.
Lin Feifei was rendered speechless by Zhou Jiayou's rebuke.
"We're all colleagues, let's not hurt each other's feelings," the woman, whose identity was unknown, immediately tried to smooth things over.
Zhou Jiayou greeted Liu Hongquan and explained his purpose for coming; Director Liu couldn't refuse.
Si Jinyan leaned close to Gu Qingqing and whispered, "Who is this?"
Gu Qingqing lowered her voice and replied, "Her name is Chu Wanli, the eldest daughter of the Chu family. However, she doesn't have an easy time in the Chu family. You can tell from how humble she is."
A hint of regret flickered in Gu Qingqing's eyes.
Si Jinyan got excited when she heard this surname; it immediately reminded her of Chu Wanting.
"Is she and Chu Wanting family?" Si Jinyan asked.
Chu Wanting bullied her a lot when they were young; she was Jiang Caiyun's lackey.
"Yes, yes, but Chu Wanli is the daughter of the first wife. Twenty years ago, Mr. Chu had an affair with a female college student, who is now Mrs. Chu, and they had Chu Wanting and her younger brother Chu Yu. As you know, if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather, so Chu Wanli's life is not easy." Gu Qingqing's eyes sparkled when she talked about gossip in wealthy families.
"The Jiang family wasn't even in the top ten a long time ago. I don't know what kind of luck they had in the last ten years or so, but they've managed to break into the top ten now." Gu Qingqing couldn't help but purse her lips when she talked about the Jiang family.
"And those top ten wealthy families, including our Gu family, frankly, I think they're not as good as they were in their heyday," Gu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh.
Si Jinyan probably thought that Jiang Caiyun's status as a lucky star might have influenced the Jiang family.
Could she really be some kind of jinx descended from heaven?
"So many people in wealthy families want to marry Jiang Caiyun. She was previously engaged to Xiao Luoan, the heir of the Xiao family. The Jiang family is really ambitious, directly climbing the high branch of the number one wealthy family in Beijing. Tsk tsk." Gu Qingqing shrugged. She despised the Jiang family's approach of putting a price tag on their daughter.
"That Xiao family heir is truly pitiful. After his legs became paralyzed, he went from being a favored son of heaven to someone everyone avoids like the plague. He used to have a very good personality, humble and polite, noble and self-possessed, and intelligent and talented. He was truly a dragon among men," Gu Qingqing sighed.
Si Jinyan recalled the scene when she first met Xiao Luoan. At first glance, she did feel that he was cold and not sunny, but later she felt that he was quite gentle.
He's a good person, and most importantly, he gave her 200 million yuan and also donated 200 million yuan!
"Will the Xiao family heir marry Jiang Caiyun?" Si Jinyan was a bit of a headache. She couldn't even shake the Jiang family now, let alone the Xiao family.
It seems she needs to build up her network of connections after returning to the capital. In any case, she doesn't want to be controlled by the Jiang family anymore.
Last time Xu Wei came to her, she was able to fight back decisively, but what if it's the entire Jiang family?
Could it be that I killed them all with one sword?
This is a society governed by the rule of law.
Si Jinyan was inexplicably getting irritable, even though she was very confident in her mystical arts.
But she was powerless to change many things in this world.
She was unable to resolve all the complexities of human nature, including love, hate, greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, and hatred.
"Jinyan, what's wrong?" Gu Qingqing nudged the agitated Si Jinyan with her elbow. He had been lost in thought ever since the topic of the Xiao family's heir came up.
"Ah, I'm fine, I'm fine," Si Jinyan replied, shaking his head.
Si Jinyan felt increasingly irritable and could only silently recite his master's teachings in his heart: "Life is finite, but calamities are infinite; it is better to accept whatever comes."
Just go with the flow!
"Once you've rested enough, let's get to work," Director Liu called out, signaling to all departments to prepare to begin.
Si Jinyan immediately got up and straightened his costume.
The makeup artist came over to touch up her makeup and comb her hair.
Her character's hair is also very simple, with no accessories, and it's quick to style.
This scene required being suspended by wires and standing on bamboo, which was over ten meters high, and it was quite terrifying.
This is the scene where the female lead makes her entrance. Li Qingluan, known in the martial arts world as the Azure Phoenix Sword Immortal, makes a stunning entrance.
"Action".
Si Jinyan was hoisted up by wires and flew up into the bamboo forest.
