A slight disappointment appeared on Qin Xuan's face. He thought he would get news about his father today, but he didn't expect to have to wait any longer.
"Okay, thank you."
After saying what he needed to say, the man got up and left the Qin Mansion.
"Qin Xuan, now at least we know that Uncle is still alive, and we're one step closer to him, aren't we?"
She stepped forward and patted Qin Xuan on the shoulder, hoping to calm him down.
Qin Xuan loosened his grip and looked at her with gentle eyes. "I'm fine. I just feel like this is the closest I've ever been to him."
He didn't dwell on it too much. After all, Qin Shixun's identity was special, and as long as Qin Shixun was alive, they would still have a chance to reunite.
"Congratulations on getting the role you wanted. Do you need me to accompany you during filming?"
He realized that he had only been focused on listening to his father's news and hadn't paid enough attention to Ye Zhizhou when he thought about Ye Zhizhou's original purpose for coming here today.
"No need, it's not like I'm new to acting. But I might have to take a long leave this time. I hope the principal won't be angry."
After the filming date was set, Ye Zhizhou spent three to five days memorizing his lines. Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, he would memorize his lines.
Not only that, when memorizing her lines, she also put her emotions into the practice, so as not to be unskilled during the actual filming.
A month later, filming began for the spy drama "White Wolf".
The director is Chen Hao, a veteran director from Yongshi Film Industry. He has high standards for his films, and he puts his heart and soul into filming even the scenes with extras, leaving no detail overlooked.
Working with a director like this makes Ye Zhizhou feel very relaxed.
"You must be Ye Zhizhou. I play the third male lead, Xu Jingchen. I often see your name on Weibo. I've heard so much about you. Let's be friends."
Xu Jingchen is tall and thin, with not very fair skin, and gives the impression of being very talkative.
Ye Zhizhou took the initiative to shake hands with him, "It's nice to meet you for the first time. Although we don't have many scenes together, we can still exchange ideas on acting skills."
Xu Jingchen laughed heartily, "No problem, I'll go do my makeup now, see you later."
Ye Zhizhou also turned and went into the dressing room. This time the crew was more reliable than the last one. The actresses in the dressing room were all seriously memorizing their lines, and no one was causing trouble.
While the makeup artist was doing her makeup, she continued to memorize her lines.
The third female lead didn't have many scenes, but she had one particularly stunning scene where, as a secret agent, she had to drink with guests to buy time for her people to leave.
This scene is actually very difficult to act. If you overdo it, it will sound too vulgar; if you underdo it, it will be unbelievable.
Chen Hao took this scene very seriously and filmed it right at the beginning.
The male actor who plays opposite Ye Zhizhou is an older actor, around thirty years old, but he looks a bit greasy.
Ye Zhizhou wore an indigo cheongsam that perfectly showcased her figure. To better portray her character, she unbuttoned one button at the neckline, which looked just right—slightly suggestive without being over the top.
But when she got close to the male actor as instructed in the script, his hand suddenly came from the side. Ye Zhizhou reacted quickly, turning around and changing her posture without leaving a trace. The male actor's hand was blocked by her, and he could only touch her arm.
She smiled, but inwardly she was cursing.
This bastard is just trying to take advantage of her. He probably took advantage of countless actresses before, thinking he's like other actresses who dare not utter a word when wronged.
A hint of coldness flashed in Ye Zhizhou's eyes. The male actor's lustful eyes were fixed on her, unwilling to look away, trying to find another opportunity to make a move.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't we have a drink first?"
Ye Zhizhou uttered the lines that the female agent was originally supposed to say in the script.
The male actor smiled lewdly, reaching out to touch Ye Zhizhou's buttocks while his other hand lunged towards her breasts.
He thought to himself, since the character in the script is a lecher, he might as well do even more.
"Smack!"
A slap landed on his face, instantly waking him up. His face stung as if he'd been stung by a bee.
"You dare hit me?"
This scene wasn't in the script, and everyone was taken aback. Why wasn't the script being followed?
No one said anything until the director yelled "cut," and the camera continued recording.
"Sir, our rules here are that we perform, not sell our bodies. Please show some respect."
This line was added by Ye Zhizhou; in the script, the agent almost sacrificed his own body so that his teammates could leave safely.
She already felt it was unreasonable; how could a proud and arrogant female agent let such a person take advantage of her?
"Don't you know who you are? It's an honor for me to even touch you!"
The male actor's lines at this moment were made up by himself. He had been playing this kind of role in various film crews for a long time, and no actress had ever dared to expose him in public or even hit him. Extreme anger made him unable to help but say lines that were not in the script.
Ye Zhizhou sneered, "You dog, so what if you have a little money on you? I don't care about your little bit of money, get lost!"
The male actor was startled by Ye Zhizhou. He had only uttered that line in a fit of anger, but he hadn't expected Ye Zhizhou to catch him.
This isn't what's written in the script. Why hasn't the director yelled "cut" yet?
He hesitated for a moment, but could only continue acting. Originally, he was supposed to take the female agent home, but something happened at the bureau and he had to go back, but the time hadn't come yet.
"Oh, right, take your stinking money with you before you leave, don't dirty my place."
Before Ye Zhizhou could rehearse his lines, he picked up the money and threw it at him, then turned and went upstairs.
"Click!"
At that moment, the director finally yelled "Cut!"
The male actor breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to Chen Hao, intending to preemptively accuse him.
"Director Chen, you can't blame me for this. I followed the script exactly. She changed the lines first, and I had no choice but to change them along with her."
Chen Hao ignored him and looked at Ye Zhizhou with delight.
"That was absolutely brilliant! When I was reading the script, I felt that this part of the plot wasn't exciting enough, but your performance made it much better. This is exactly the kind of female agent I've been looking for!"
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he immediately instructed the screenwriter to revise the script here so that the plot could flow naturally.
The male actor was dumbfounded. Could this really work?
If the script is changed, he won't be able to take advantage of the situation anymore!
"Director, the script still needs to be revised. Wasn't it already finalized? I've already memorized my lines."
Chen Hao advised him, "You have to change it, otherwise the female character will have no soul. You only have a few lines, you'll memorize them in no time. Go and wait, I'll film the others first."
The male actor was completely dumbfounded and also harbored resentment towards Ye Zhizhou.
