There was a sense of oppression in the casual tone.
This made the innocent special assistant a little frightened, secretly sweating for the director~
Since Bai Rou wanted to tire the girl out, he would make sure she had no scenes to film.

On the set, Mingjie leaned against a tree trunk, waiting for Bai Rou to finish filming the scene.
About half an hour later, Bai Rou slowly walked towards this side.
"Brother Jie." Bai Rou greeted Mingjie with a smile.
Mingjie responded with a blank expression. He asked seriously, "Did Xia Xingchen really agree to act in that play?"
Bai Rou nodded, "It's true, Brother Jie, she promised it herself."
"And from what I know, ever since Xia Xingchen agreed, he's turned down all his schedules and locked himself up at home, focusing on his acting skills. Aside from recording a few songs for Xia, he hasn't made any other announcements."
Bai Rou speculated, "Brother Jie, do you think Xia Xingchen can't act at all? Is she still good at sharpening her sword before a battle?"
Mingjie snorted coldly, "What good does it matter how talented you are in music? These days, every artist is trying to develop in all areas. If your acting is mediocre, just wait for the online bullying!"
Bai Rou chuckled, "Brother Jie's method of using a knife to kill someone is truly brilliant!"
She couldn't help but give Mingjie a thumbs up. "Besides, I also heard that the roles Director Ma casts are all college students with no acting skills at all, and some even look disgusting..."
"A movie made with such a disgusting actor will probably be criticized to death by the audience!"
The more Bai Rou spoke, the better Mingjie's mood became. Afterwards, he said cautiously, "It's better not to get complacent too soon. Xia Xingchen is not an ordinary woman. We can't be careless until everything is settled."
Song Yixuan is the best example!
Mingjie, still leaning against the tree trunk, suddenly changed the subject and asked Bai Rou, "When will you finish filming this play?"
Bai Rou estimated the time and said, "It will take another two or three months."
Mingjie nodded, "Try to delay the filming as much as possible and try to finish it at the same time as 'Rebirth'. That way, the two dramas can be released at the same time."
By then, Bai Rou's acting skills will instantly surpass Xia Xingchen's!
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. This time, he wants to finish Xia Xingchen completely.

Soon, half a month passed, and after the unremitting efforts of Xia Xingchen and the author, the script of "Rebirth" was finally revised.
While Xia Xingchen and the author were revising the script, Director Ma was also selecting roles.
Of course, the characters chosen were all newbies, some of them were pretty but had no acting skills, or some of them had some acting skills but looked ordinary. In short, none of them were satisfactory at all.
Some famous actors would not come even if they knew that Director Ma was selecting roles.
Not to mention that Director Ma is a small director, even the equipment he uses for filming is the cheapest, and the image quality is not high-definition.
How could a poor crew like this afford such high pay?
In the crew, except for Xia Xingchen who is a popular singer, the other actors are all newbies, and some have just graduated from school.
No matter what, Director Ma is content to be able to choose the role!
Everything is ready, and next, "Rebirth" started shooting the first scene.
The drama "Rebirth" mainly tells the story of the heroine who lives again and takes revenge on her boyfriend who betrayed her, her stepsister and her stepmother who killed her, and finally she and the hero get married.
Since it is a rebirth drama, the opening scene is the heroine being killed by her stepmother.
The beginning of this play is very exciting, but the newbies who are inexperienced in the world can't act out that feeling at all.
Director Ma, who was sitting in front of the monitor, became angry as he watched. Finally, he couldn't bear to watch it any longer and had to go up and teach in person. Director Ma's demonstration was very thorough. Although he didn't try his best to act, he just gave a general demonstration. Xia Xingchen could feel the deadly aura emanating from her stepmother.
After Director Ma’s personal demonstration and detailed explanation, I finally got the feel for this shot.
The actors also devoted themselves to the role...
This shot took a whole day to shoot, and Xia Xingchen was exhausted.
When Director Ma said that this one was passed, all the actors and staff breathed a sigh of relief.
After a day of filming, Xia Xingchen realized that although Director Ma was not famous, he had extremely high demands on his work, so high that he strived for perfection and did not allow even the slightest flaw.
Whether it is the rhythm, the actors' lines, or the micro-expressions, they are all in place. If there is even the slightest dissatisfaction, it has to be retaken.
A director as dedicated as Director Ma will sooner or later carve out a world of his own!
Xia Xingchen rested for a while and then sat next to Director Ma, wanting to take a look at the footage of her filming that day.
Director Ma's filming skills are amazing, and the actors' performances are spot on, but the picture quality...
Very lame!
After the filming was over, Xia Xingchen sent a message to Yi Ke, asking her to buy the filming equipment as quickly as possible.
Xia Xingchen returned to the palace and went back to her bedroom without even having dinner. The sight of the big bed in the bedroom made her feel more familiar than seeing her relatives.
She lay in bed, thinking of taking a rest and then taking a shower, but she fell asleep in less than two minutes.
When Gong Bingye returned, she saw Xia Xingchen sprawled out on the bed, sound asleep, without even having time to change into her pajamas...
Gong Bingye found it hard to imagine how tired Xia Xingchen must be.
Instead of waking her up, he gently took off her shoes, straightened her body, and covered her with the quilt.
When Xia Xingchen woke up, it was already the next morning. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Gong Bingye staring at her intently. She frowned slightly, "Is there something on my face?"
Gong Bingye's eyes were deep and his handsome face was serious, as if he was a little angry.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Xingchen asked softly.
Gong Bingye grabbed Xia Xingchen's hand, placed it on her lips, closed her eyes and said distressedly: "It's okay, I just feel sorry for you."
"Silly boy." Xia Xingchen said softly, her voice gentle and sweet.
Gong Bingye opened his eyes and asked cautiously, "Girl, the company is not busy today, can you spend more time with me?"
In other words, could he spend more time with her?
The documents that Xia Li needed him to sign were piling up into a mountain. During this period, he turned down many collaborations. In his heart, these things were far less important than the girl.
Xia Xingchen thought: It will take time to buy the equipment. Before the equipment reaches Director Ma, we should suspend the filming to avoid wasting everyone's time and energy.
So she readily agreed to his request.
At that moment, Xia Xingchen called Director Ma and lied that he was not feeling well and needed to rest for a few days.
Although Director Ma was unwilling, he had to obey.
He is an unpopular director and has no say. If he makes excessive demands on them, they will definitely quit.
Although this play won't make any money, but... he doesn't dare to take the risk.
Xia Xingchen asked for leave, so Director Ma had to shoot other actors' scenes first.
However, a few days later, Director Ma's unexpected surprise came...
