Even after hanging up the phone, Li Yining still felt a little unreal.

How should I put it? She actually hoped that it would be her, but when it really happened to her, she was afraid that she would not be able to do it.

Anyway, I have a very conflicted mentality, mainly because I have longed for it before, but I didn't dare to desire it 100%.

The other female artists were also very good, and she wasn't sure what made her so good that Director Song chose her.

Could it be that Huo Shen opened a backdoor for him? !

Jian Yuanyuan and Zhang Ya were happy beside them.

"Are you going to act in Director Song's movie?"

“That’s great.”

"Ningning, what's your expression now?"

Li Yining came back to his senses and looked at the two of them. "…It doesn't feel real. When I went for the audition this morning, Director Song said he had never used a couple before."

Hearing this, Zhang Ya's eyes widened. "The male lead is Brother Huo Shen?"

Li Yining nodded, "Yes."

"Wow, then we have to go visit the set."

Li Yining???

She looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Are you here to visit my class or Huo Shen's?"

The two of them said, "Together!"

Li Yining: "..."

Why doesn't she believe it?

He hadn't said at first that he was going to visit the set, but when he heard that Huo Shen was the male lead, he changed his mind.

She snorted haughtily and didn't bother with the two of them.

Zhang Yaxing said angrily, "To be honest, I haven't been to the crew that often."

Li Yining reminded her, "You visited me on set before, but that wasn't the case, right?"

"Oh, I was talking about movies. They always say movies are more sophisticated."

Li Yining laughed and said simply, "Not really. It's just that movies will be magnified and may pay more attention to details. But it all depends on the director. Movies have their own merits, and TV series have their own merits."

There is really no way to compare the two.

It doesn’t mean that TV series are really bad, nor does it mean that movies are really a level higher than TV series.

As long as the acting is good, it's all the same.

Li Yining wanted to act in a movie, actually he wanted to be with Huo Shen.

Of course...she also has a desire in her heart. She has filmed a TV series, so it is normal for her to want to try her hand at movies.

We all have the same mentality.

No one is immune to this.

But now, she had something else to worry about.

She thought about it and sent a message to Huo Shen.

Li Yining finished the audition?

Did Huo Shen receive the news?

Li Yining, you all have informed Sister Song, I must have received the news. I'll ask you secretly... was it you who opened the back door for me?

Huo Shen chuckled.

Director Song glanced at him and asked softly, "What are you laughing at?"

He looked at Huo Shen and couldn't help laughing and said, "To be honest, I couldn't believe that you would be like this after getting married."

Hearing this, Huo Shen was curious.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Director Song, jokingly asking, "Which look?"

Director Song sighed and said, "You know which one it is, why do you need me to tell you?"

Huo Shen: "Need it."

Director Song was speechless, "It's just so greasy and crooked. I couldn't imagine it before."

He said with emotion, "When you were filming before, strangers were not allowed in. Now——"

Director Song said in disgust, "I watched the live broadcast of you and Li Yining, and I couldn't stand it."

Huo Shen couldn't help laughing, his eyes were full of stars, and he asked softly, "Why are you still looking at this?"

Director Song: "Take a look at Li Yining. I'm curious about what attracts you to this person."

Huo Shen joked, "If I didn't know you weren't interested in me, I might have misunderstood you."

Director Song glared at him.

Huo Shen chuckled, "Nothing special, I just like it."

Director Song: "...Please don't tell me that it was Li Yining who sent the message just now?"

"Um."

"What did you say?"

Huo Shen thought about it for a while and showed it to the director directly.

Director Song choked after taking a look.

He tapped Huo Shen's phone and asked, "Is your wife so unconfident?"

Huo Shen shook his head. "It's not that she has no confidence. She just thinks her performance today is not good enough."

Director Song nodded and said, "To be honest, based on what I've said today, it's indeed a little bit lacking, but she has aura."

He had seen some of Li Yining's previous performances and knew her acting skills.

Director Song feels that... Li Yining is the kind of person who needs to be pushed, and only by being pushed can her potential be revealed.

In fact, several other female artists are also good, but Li Yining's image is the most suitable, and more importantly, if Li Yining plays the heroine, Huo Shen's emotional scenes will be smoother.

Others may not know, but Director Song knows it very well. Huo Shen's emotional scenes are a little worse than others, especially the love scenes between men and women.

After comprehensive consideration, he decided on Li Yining.

The producer and screenwriter had the same idea, and in fact, during the first round of auditions, it was the screenwriter who strongly supported Li Yining and gave him this spot.

The screenwriter knew exactly what kind of character she wanted. She wanted Li Yining and she liked Li Yining.

Director Song also took the attitude of giving it a try and watched his previous works, and found them to be really good.

But he didn't expect that Li Yining was so unconfident.

He said jokingly, "Tell him that even if you are the male lead, you can't get the role of the female lead."

Huo Shen smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you, director."

Director Song glanced at him and said, "Get ready. We have also started preparing here."

"Um."

"Do you have time to read the script?"

Huo Shen nodded and said, "I'll find time to come out."

"That's good."

Li Yining was instantly filled with confidence after receiving Huo Shen's affirmative answer.

It's good that it's not through the back door.

She raised her eyes and looked at the two of them. "Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Let's celebrate."

Li Yining said, "Let's go to the bar tonight. I haven't drunk for a long time. When I start filming, I don't think I will have time to play."

Zhang Ya was the first to agree.

"Okay, okay."

Li Yining: "...You're so happy to meet your boyfriend?"

Zhang Ya also became shameless. She glared at Li Yining and said, "Let me introduce you formally."

"OK."

However, in the end, Li Yining did not go to the bar.

In the afternoon, news started to spread online.

She was happily shopping when she saw the news online.

An unknown staff member revealed that the male lead of Director Song's new film is Huo Shen, and the female lead is Li Yining.

When this news came out, netizens went wild.

They could accept Huo Shen and Li Yining getting married, as it was their private life, but they could not accept Huo Shen and Li Yining filming a movie together.

All in all, there is still a big gap between the two.

In addition, some people took advantage of the situation and pointed out that Lin Sitong and other talented female actors had all gone for auditions, but they didn't know why Li Yining was finally chosen.

As soon as these pieces of news came out, Li Yining's Weibo account instantly collapsed.

??? What the hell.

Li Yining is going to make a movie with Huo Shen? ? Is it the one that Director Song has been preparing for three years? ! This is fucking... is he using a backdoor to get to the top overnight?

Fuck! I don't accept that.

Ahhhhhhhh please, Li Yining, don't come and destroy the white moonlight in my mind, okay!

Can Li Yining please leave a way out for Huo Shen's fans? You have monopolized our brother, why do you want to be in the movie with him too?

Wuwuwuwuwu I can't accept it. Can Li Yining have a little self-awareness and be a little more aware of his acting skills?

Is this true or false?!

There is no evidence, take our Ningning away and don’t eat melons.

Please stop spreading rumors. What if there wasn’t a backdoor?

Netizens expressed strong opinions.

Even though they were still saying online the day before - I like Li Yining, Li Yining is so cute.

But when this time came, they united and began to attack her.

Li Yining was still buying things in the store. When he saw those comments, he didn't feel cold, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

It turns out that even if she tries hard to wash away her flaws and please everyone, it still doesn't seem to work.

The bottom line is that she is not strong enough.

Zhang Ya and Jian Yuanyuan looked at her worriedly and couldn't help but comfort her, "Ningning, stop looking."

"Yes, and Brother Huo Shen said it wasn't a backdoor."

Zhang Ya couldn't help but complain, "What are the thoughts of netizens? They just follow the trend."

"Besides, what's wrong with your acting skills?"

Li Yining smiled and shook his head, looking at the two of them, "It's okay."

She read the comments and said softly, "I'm just not strong enough."

If it were enough, people wouldn't protest like this.

"You're talking nonsense."

Jian Yuanyuan said, "Even if you are strong enough, considering your current relationship with Huo Shen, people will still say that you used a backdoor."

Li Yining: "..."

Zhang Ya also nodded in agreement, "Netizens are sometimes so realistic, and some of them are paid trolls. Look at your fans, they are very well behaved and are always comforting you."

Li Yining smiled knowingly.

She looked at the two of them and nodded, "I know, stop comforting me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yining's cell phone rang.

She took a look and saw it was Huo Shen's call.

"Hello."

"Where are you now?"

Huo Shen's voice sounded a little anxious.

Li Yining was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "In the mall, what's the matter?"

Huo Shen paused and whispered, "I'll pick you up."

Li Yining blinked, not understanding what was going on. “…Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ya looked at her and asked, "Are you going home?"

"I guess we need to discuss what to do."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Jian Yuanyuan said, "We'll meet again next time we have the chance."

"Uh-huh."

Not long after, Huo Shen came over.

Li Yining bought a lot of things. After getting in the car, she turned to look at Huo Shen and asked, "Why are you driving by yourself?"

Huo Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "I'm picking up my wife, so why don't I drive myself?"

Li Yining chuckled, "Are you afraid that I will cry?"

Huo Shen said nothing.

Li Yining asked jokingly, "Do I look that fragile?"

"no."

Huo Shen explained, "It's just... I don't want you to read those comments."

Li Yining nodded, "Don't worry."

She said seriously, "I will read it, but if it's a good suggestion, I will correct it. If it's a bad suggestion, I will curse it back in my heart."

Huo Shen: "..."

Seeing Li Yining like this, Huo Shen couldn't help but reflect... He really didn't know his wife well enough.

Li Yining smiled and said, "Besides, I did use a backdoor, so it's not hard for me."

She said, "Now, no matter what people say, I will just make the movie well."

Huo Shen patted the back of her hand and said, "Well, this idea is right."

After arriving home, the two agents discussed the matter.

Let people spread rumors online if they want, and let people mock you as much as they want, but in the end the facts will speak for themselves.

As for those navy soldiers who took advantage of the situation, Yu Xing and Song Jing naturally had ways to deal with them.

You guys are buying the Navy Curse Li Yining, right? Then we will buy the Navy Praise Li Yining.

We have money, it just depends on who buys more.

Li Yining laughed so hard that his stomach hurt because of what Song Jing and Yu Xing said, but he had to admit... this was the most shameless way to deal with it.

No tread.

The current network environment is too poor, so this is all we can do.

Before the official announcement, this matter caused a stir for several days. During those days, Li Yining was at home thinking about the script.

I also specially looked up all the movies Director Song had made before and watched them all, as well as those that had won awards.

She just wanted to take a look and learn.

Then make a summary and conduct a short biographical analysis of your own character.

Li Yining was serious, and she was a little unwilling to admit defeat.

She admitted that her acting skills were not as good as Huo Shen's, but she wanted to improve and change.

Huo Shen saw this, and even when he was busy, he would still act with Li Yining in the evening.

He couldn't bear to see Li Yining so tired.

Fortunately, time flies, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the script reading.

Director Song and the screenwriters all got together and began to analyze the script.

Li Yining listened carefully, and after discussing with everyone every day, he would go back to his room and take notes.

Sometimes Huo Shen felt a little regretful when he saw it.

If I had known earlier, I would have been better off not taking this movie.

But he also understood that this was what Li Yining wanted.

She actually wanted to prove herself, and even though she took some shortcuts, she was really not bad.

She won't let this shortcut down.

After the script was read, filming began.

Director Song held a low-key opening ceremony, not even inviting the media, and just filming.

Although some news has been revealed online, it seems that everyone knows the truth after the revelations some time ago.

However, that night, the official Weibo account of the movie did officially announce Huo Shen and Li Yining.

At that time in the evening, the word "爆" (explosion) was added after their names.

Many people were jealous and joked that Huo Shen was worthy of being Huo Shen, as he even brought his family with him when he joined the group.

Neither of them read the online news. Let everyone be jealous if they want. They are just filming their own drama.

Most of the company's affairs are handled by the manager and Lin Shunbin and others. Occasionally, when there is an emergency, Huo Shen will be asked to handle it.

For convenience, Huo Shen and Li Yining deliberately did not stay in the same room in the hotel.

Huo Shen had a meeting to attend and Li Yining had to recite a speech, and both were afraid of disturbing each other.

However... every morning when he woke up, Li Yining was in Huo Shen's arms.

Spring is gone and summer is here.

In the sweltering summer, wearing costumes makes it hard to breathe, and if you move occasionally, you'll sweat all over.

Li Yining and the others have to touch up their makeup all the time. If they are not careful, their makeup will be wasted.

The movie focuses more on close-up shots, and once the camera comes close, the true face is basically exposed.

When Li Yining was on the set, she basically just went through the same process of putting on makeup, sweating, etc.

She didn't go anywhere for the entire summer, and filmed intensively for more than ten hours every day. Even Song Jing felt distressed watching her. And Uncle Xu, in order to take care of her rapidly losing weight...he directly brought in the crew to take care of the two of them.

The whole crew enjoyed the arrival of Uncle Xu.

Every day at noon, the meals were especially good. Huo Shen was not a stingy person. He ate well himself, so of course he had to take care of the entire crew.

Thanks to Uncle Xu and the chef's cooking skills, the crew, who had collectively lost a few pounds, recovered.

The food is good and everyone is more motivated.

Zhang Ya and Jian Yuanyuan also came to visit the set several times during this period. In order to comfort Li Yining, they gave her bags and jewelry, which was very considerate.

Just like that, summer passed.

Apart from initially reposting the official announcement on Weibo, Li Yining never posted any messages on Weibo again.

The comments on her forwarded Weibo post have exceeded 100,000.

This is her most commented Weibo post besides the one about the lucky draw.

She didn't go to see it.

At the end of summer, when the entire movie was about to be completed, the official Weibo released new content again.

It is a clipped trailer.

There are the male and female protagonists, as well as several other people’s.

Thirty seconds is a very short time.

But it is this 30-second video that everyone watches over and over again.

Huo Shen's acting skills are naturally excellent, and they discovered that... Li Yining seemed to be really different.

The change in his eyes, in just two shots, is so killing, so powerful.

Li Yining's fans watched with tears in their eyes.

Their idols have done well! They can now refute others with a clear conscience.

At first, when everyone was mocking Li Yining's acting skills, they really didn't dare to say anything.

There is absolutely no way to refute it.

Although he thinks his idol is the best in the world, he knows deep down that there is a huge gap between him and Huo Shen.

Besides, Li Yining had never played the leading role in a movie before, and they were afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it.

So this summer, not only is Li Yining quiet, but his fans are also quiet.

Basically, I just help Li Yining to get on the charts and fight against anti-criminal activities every day, and I don't do anything else.

After the film was released, it refreshed a small number of people's perception of Li Yining.

Coincidentally, the postponed TV series also started airing a week later.

Li Yining knew it.

Huo Shen handed her the thermos cup in his hand and whispered, "Sister Song asked me to remind you to go on Weibo tonight."

Li Yining took it and said jokingly, "Didn't Sister Song forbid me to use Weibo?"

She pouted and said, "She even asked me to unload it."

Huo Shen smiled and said, "Then take mine."

"good."

In the evening, Li Yining forwarded it for promotion.

After posting, I didn’t read a single comment and continued filming.

What she didn’t know was that that night - after the first two episodes of "Come Back, I'm Still Here" were broadcast, Li Yining became a hot topic because of his acting skills.
