Zheng Bohan felt that he had experienced the most magical half hour of his life.
Given Meta Pictures' usual practices, Zheng Bohan was already prepared to break ties with Su Ge and for Meta Pictures to withdraw all its investment.
But when he found Su Ge and Qin Tianye, he witnessed a scene he never dreamed of.
Su Ge had a long face, looking like a little cabbage that had been tormented by wind and frost. Zheng Bohan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Qin Tianye had scolded Su Ge.
That shouldn't be the case. Although Qin Tianye looks like a piece of steel, cold and hard, he is actually very cultured and rarely gets into arguments with the actors he works with.
Zheng Bohan looked at Qin Tianye again, and wow!
Qin Tianye's face held an empty expression that Zheng Bohan had never seen before, as if he had seen through the illusions of the world and was about to attain enlightenment.
Even with the commotion of Zheng Bohan entering the room, Qin Tianye didn't notice and remained staring blankly into space.
Zheng Bohan quickly weighed his options and, not daring to disturb Qin Tianye, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, quietly pulled Su Ge away to a distance.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Bohan asked in a low voice.
If Lao Qin offends this young lady, he still needs to find a way to make amends for Lao Qin.
Su Ge opened her mouth, but before she could speak, tears were already falling down her face.
"What should I do, Director Zheng!" Su Ge cried out in a tearful voice, "It seems like Teacher Qin doesn't want to work with me anymore!"
Zheng Bohan was completely bewildered. "Why did you say that?"
Su Ge recounted what had just happened, her voice trembling with sobs.
It turned out that Qin Tianye wanted to act with Su Ge. After Su Ge readily agreed, the two took out their scripts, found a scene with overlapping plot, and began to rehearse their lines.
Of course, rehearsing a scene doesn't mean the two people sit facing each other and read the script aloud. After reading it the first time, Qin Tianye had already memorized the lines and suggested to Su Ge that they add actions as well.
This was already considered a small-scale rehearsal. Su Ge hesitated before agreeing.
Then, Qin Tianye's ordeal began.
Qin Tianye opened his mouth, immediately adopting an imperial demeanor: "Whose daughter are you?"
Su Ge: "I am...I am from the Su family..."
Qin Tianye frowned and had to interrupt Su Ge: "Little Su (Su Ge insisted that Qin Tianye address her this way), you're wrong. It's the Wang family."
Su Ge said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Teacher Qin, I just said it without thinking."
Qin Tianye expressed his understanding. For actors, forgetting lines is as normal as breathing.
Qin Tianye comforted Su Ge with a few words, and the two resumed rehearsing their lines.
"I'm from the Wang family, that... what was it again?"
“The Wang family, the second daughter of the Vice Minister of Works…”
“My father…”
"No, no, no, my father..."
After Su Ge misremembered the first line for the fourth time, Qin Tianye frowned and said tactfully, "Little Su, are you too nervous? Don't be nervous, don't treat me like a senior, just like an ordinary artist."
Su Ge felt like crying but had no tears. She desperately wanted to tell Qin Tianye that she wasn't having trouble memorizing her lines because of nervousness. From the moment she entered the entertainment industry, she hadn't memorized any lines at all!
"Wait a minute." Zheng Bohan, his brows furrowed, interrupted Su Ge's recollection, asking incredulously, "I remember you also have a few works. How did you act without memorizing your lines?"
Su Ge said matter-of-factly, "I'll just read 1234567abcdefg, and the dubbing can be done later."
Zheng Bohan fell silent.
"Unfortunately, my haters found out about it later, so I stopped using this method," Su Ge said regretfully. "Now when I'm filming, someone stands opposite me with a teleprompter so I can read from it."
Su Ge had no reason to hide anything from Zheng Bohan. After all, he was someone her sugar daddy had put in there; why would a sugar daddy have to put up with a beggar's attitude? Su Ge didn't care.
Although she didn't care about Zheng Bohan, Su Ge couldn't help but care about another person.
Su Ge could be quite perfunctory with the mediocre male celebrities in the entertainment industry. But she wouldn't dare do that with Qin Tianye.
Teacher Qin is an extremely dedicated artist. He never uses a stunt double or dubbing, and he takes even the worst, most disastrous dramas extremely seriously. Su Ge remembers every single scar on his body clearly—those scars were all left from Qin Tianye's own performances of action scenes.
Teacher Qin, with her professionalism, would never have a good impression of unprofessional artists.
Su Ge didn't want Teacher Qin to look down on her, so even though she had just rehearsed with Qin Tianye more than thirty times and hadn't succeeded even once, Su Ge gritted her teeth and persevered, neither reading out numbers nor calling her prompting assistant.
Zheng Bohan now understands why Qin Tianye had that expression.
More than thirty times—more than thirty times!
Not to mention Qin Tianye had never seen such a scene before, even Zheng Bohan had never seen anything like it!
Su Ge pulled a pack of delicate, scented tissues from her pocket and wiped her tears as she said, "Director Zheng, what should I do? After failing the scene for the thirty-third time, Teacher Qin told me he wanted to take a break and then ignored me."
Zheng Bohan's temples were throbbing with veins. Qin Tianye has such a good temper. Even in this state, he hasn't thrown the script or stormed out!
Su Ge clearly shared the same sentiment. Sobbing, she took out her phone, moved a little distance away from Zheng Bohan, and began editing her Weibo post:
[AmanoSong: Sisters! Today, while filming with Teacher Qin, I ran into him rehearsing a scene with a female celebrity. The female celebrity forgot her lines over thirty times! Teacher Qin wasn't angry at all; he just kept comforting her with a gentle smile! And every time they rehearsed, Teacher Qin could immediately get into character and bring out the full emotion!]
Ahhh, Teacher Qin is so wonderful! I love him so much, even more than yesterday! [Sobbing][Sobbing][Cupid's Arrow][Cupid's Arrow]
P.S.: Teacher Qin is still so handsome in person! I was lucky enough to see him up close; he doesn't look 45 at all. His nose is incredibly straight, and his eyelashes are exceptionally long!
Qin Tianye has very few active followers on Weibo, and no one commented on Su Ge's post for a while.
Su Ge put her phone away for the time being. When she looked up, she saw Zheng Bohan looking at her with a complicated expression.
Zheng Bohan was utterly awestruck by this young lady. One second, he thought she was going to change her ways; the next, she was playing on her phone!
Zheng Bohan asked kindly, "So, Ms. Su, what are you planning to do? Do you still intend to film this movie?"
Zheng Bohan is already planning to confront Su Ge.
He really didn't want to serve him anymore. He felt that working with Su Ge once would make him so angry he'd lose ten years of his life. Money was gone, but life was gone, and nothing else mattered.
"Of course!" Su Ge said, puzzled. "I'm definitely going to take pictures. Teacher Qin isn't leaving, so there's no way I'm leaving either."
