"How did I upset you again?" Jian Zhizhen muttered under her breath, dissatisfied. "You've always been this quick to anger since we were kids."
She used to enjoy deliberately provoking Qin Yubai like this.
Qin Yubai also had a strange habit: whenever he got angry, he would go to read books or do his homework.
Otherwise, how could someone achieve so much at such a young age?
Thinking about this, Jian Zhizhen felt quite proud.
The fact that the country has such a talented person is almost entirely due to her anger.
Seeing that he was silent again, Jian Zhizhen pressed on, asking, "Why aren't you saying anything? Have you been frantically doing your homework again?"
"I don't have any homework now," Qin Yubai finally relented. "When are you filming? I'll come visit the set."
Jian Zhizhen readily agreed: "This scene will be filmed at 1 p.m. three days from now. I'll apply for a visitor pass for you."
"good."
...
The Qin family.
After finishing his call with Jian Zhizhen in the garden, Qin Yubai still felt incredibly sad.
Having a crush on someone really tests your patience.
Because Chien Chih-chen is neither delicate nor weak, dislikes being controlled, and finds people annoying because they have a fatherly air about them.
If he were to tell her: "You're not allowed to wear so little when filming the bathing scene."
He was also afraid that she would feel that he was interfering with her freedom of dress.
If he were to tell her: You are not allowed to film kissing scenes with male celebrities.
He was also afraid that she would feel that he didn't respect her dreams, that he was too controlling, and that he was domineering and unreasonable.
So annoying.
In his mind, he could already picture Jian Zhizhen bathing in the water with other male celebrities and performing CPR together.
After a long while, Qin Yubai sighed, stood up, and decided to take a nap first.
Just as I was about to go back to my room, I suddenly heard Old Wang playing crosstalk not far away:
Just now: "He comes from a prestigious family, his status is very high!"
Qianqian: "How noble?"
Just now: "He is one of the eight iron-hat kings—the cuckold king!"
Qin Yubai turned around abruptly and asked Old Wang, "What green hat? Who are you saying is wearing a green hat? When did I wear a green hat?"
"..." Old Wang silently turned off the crosstalk performance.
He's listening to jokes here, while his young master is looking in the mirror over there.
...
For the next three days, Jian Zhizhen focused intently on studying the script, as well as the film and television works of the director and lead actors. She had no time to care about anything else, nor did she pay attention to the various online discussions surrounding the guests.
On the day she joined the crew, Chien Chih-chen went to the set alone.
After meeting with the crew, the makeup artist immediately took her to try on makeup and take photos.
After she finished, she went outside and asked the director, "Director, should I audition first?"
The director turned to look at Jian Zhizhen. Her simple makeup did not overshadow her naturally translucent appearance. Her eyes were warm and clear, and the sect's white robes were elegant and flowing. Wearing them, she exuded a spiritual aura, which really suited the character setting.
In principle, actors should prepare for auditions and makeup tests in advance.
But Chien Chih-chen was inserted by Chiao Pei-shih.
Qiao Peishi invested 3 billion yuan in this movie, and the roles she was given weren't particularly demanding in terms of acting skills, so they didn't have high expectations.
Seeing Jian Zhizhen's temperament in person now, the director felt that it exceeded his expectations.
He smiled and said, "You don't need to go through those procedures. The investor specifically told me that you're in a hurry to finish filming and go back to review. Don't be too nervous. Your scenes aren't difficult; just be yourself."
Jian Zhizhen obediently replied, "Thank you, Director."
The director then explained the next scene to the actors, and filming officially began.
The morning's scenes consisted of mundane moments, such as the young female lead played by Chien Chih-chen and the male lead studying and playing within the sect.
At this point, the young female lead's feelings for the male lead are still hazy; she simply loves to play, so all she needs to do is act innocent and lively.
At the beginning, she wasn't sure what the director wanted, so she had to do two or three takes.
Once she got the hang of it, she could basically nail her scenes in one take.
By noon, the temperature had risen, and the actors' makeup had become somewhat smudged.
During breaks, other celebrities, big and small, were surrounded by two or three assistants who touched up their makeup.
Only Jian Zhizhen was alone.
She picked up her black backpack, which looked like a schoolbag, and took out... a carton of fruit yogurt and started eating it.
Zhong Yi got up early to make this especially for her.
Many people around her were drawn to her.
She has now become famous because of the variety show "Love Across Worlds". Everyone knows her background. She grew up in the countryside, knows how to weld and repair water pipes, and is a very down-to-earth girl.
Looking at it now, it's definitely down-to-earth.
An agent who had accompanied their artist to the filming location approached Jian Zhizhen and asked her with concern, "Didn't your company assign you an assistant?"
Jian Zhizhen looked up at her and said, "Yes, my boss personally serves as my assistant."
The agent then asked, "Where is your boss?"
"The company is having a big cleaning today, she'll come over after she finishes cleaning."
The agent was both amused and exasperated; the small company was really poor.
The artist is so shabby, and the boss is just as shabby.
"Want to switch jobs? We'll pay your breach of contract penalty, and we'll definitely double your salary." The man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.
Just as Jian Zhizhen shook her head, about to refuse, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and took the business card directly.
The next second, Zhong Yi greeted him with a big smile, grabbed the man's hand, and shook it vigorously: "Hello, hello, hello, I am Jian Zhizhen's assistant, agent, and Jinju artist manager. My kid won't switch companies, but we welcome cooperation! If you're interested, add my contact information. You can contact me if you want to collaborate with Zhenzhen in the future."
