What were you doing on the night of August 5th?
"What do you want to do?" Shang Yechu covered her mouth and chuckled twice, then winked at the air in front of her. "I'm a prostitute, so what do you think I'll do tonight?"
"Uh, uh..."
Unsurprisingly, Li Yi got stuck again.
"sorry!"
Before Shang Yechu could get angry, Li Yi had already stood up on his own and repeatedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Shang Yechu took a deep breath.
He took another breath.
Shang Yechu resisted the urge to grab Li Yi's head and shake him from side to side, and smiled, "Why don't you memorize your lines first—okay?"
Shang Yechu was throwing flirtatious glances until her eyelids were practically rolling back, and she was practically sick of repeating those two lines. —But Li Yi's head was like a block of wood!
Shang Yechu really wanted to take a rolling pin and flatten the other person's face, or grab the other person's head and push it into the water or something.
Only then did Shang Yechu begin to feel a genuine sense of admiration for actors like Qin Tianye. The torment of acting with an idiot was no less than any kind of grueling torture.
Looking at Shang Yechu's face, which was slightly flushed with anger, Li Yi asked pitifully, "Are you angry?"
What else?
Do you really think that acting opposite you is a wonderful thing?
Suppressing her anger, Shang Yechu casually retorted, "There's nothing to be angry about. Hurry up. We haven't even finished one round yet."
Li Yi sized up Shang Yechu for a while, pursed her lips, and was about to say something when she suddenly heard a voice that sounded like she was crying with joy: "Sister Huanyi is here!"
After much anticipation, the female lead of "Tianji Tower" finally made her long-awaited appearance.
Shang Yechu glanced to the side and saw a tall, slender figure stride into the film set. The man had tanned skin, a handsome face, long arms and legs, and an outstanding physique.
This is Yang Huanyi, the female lead in "Tianji Tower".
Yang Huanyi is around thirty-five years old this year, which is the most charming time of a woman's life. As soon as she entered the film set, she seemed to bring in a refreshing breeze, attracting everyone's attention.
Seeing Yang Huanyi in person, Shang Yechu could understand why Yi Tianzhao was willing to risk filming multiple projects simultaneously to cast her as the lead. If Shang Yechu were casting for "Phoenix Plays with Dragon," she would probably choose someone like her to play Xiao Fengque.
Shang Yechu's gaze swept over Yang Huanyi without missing a beat, comparing her personal conditions with his own one by one.
After the comparison, as expected, Yang Huanyi won completely, while Shang Yechu was completely defeated.
From looks and figure to temperament, Yang Huanyi surpassed Shang Yechu in every way. In terms of acting skills, Shang Yechu estimated she and Yang Huanyi were about equal, but Yang Huanyi's action scenes were second to none among actresses, immediately making their supposed equal skill seem overwhelmingly incomparable.
There's only one area where Shang Yechu can surpass her: professionalism... But then again, the entertainment industry is never a place where just being dedicated guarantees success. Otherwise, the martial arts instructors and stuntmen from Baogang would have been the first to become superstars.
This result is undoubtedly disheartening; trying to snatch a role from such a strong opponent is truly a pipe dream.
Yang Huanyi walked in a hurry, not even glancing at small fry like Shang Yechu and Li Yi, and went straight to Yi Tianzhao.
Yang Huanyi apologized to Yi Tianzhao first, then glanced at his watch and hurriedly said, "Let's get started."
With that, Yang Huanyi hurriedly walked into the dressing room. The makeup team, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately began to wash and dress her.
The set instantly sprang into action. A moment later, Shang Yechu was also pulled into the dressing room—her costume was already changed, but her makeup couldn't be done until Yang Huanyi arrived. No one knew when Yang Huanyi would arrive, and if the wait was too long, the makeup would smudge.
That's the power of a big shot.
As the female lead, Yang Huanyi actually had her own private dressing room. But she was just too busy—so busy that she didn't even have time to go to that private dressing room at the end of the corridor, and went directly into the large dressing room shared by the other actors.
Shang Yechu, who entered the room shortly after her, coincidentally sat down next to Yang Huanyi.
While getting her makeup done, Shang Yechu heard Yang Huanyi say to the makeup artist in a crisp and decisive manner: "Xiao Fengque is a female knight-errant, she doesn't need heavy makeup! Keep it as simple as possible."
The makeup artist paused, then gave a soft "hmm" in response.
As Shang Ye Chu applied blush, she heard the rustling sound of pages turning beside her. Glancing sideways, she saw Yang Huanyi flipping through a script.
Yang Huanyi's assistant whispered from the side, "We're going to shoot the first scene of the third act in a bit."
Yang Huanyi flipped through the pages twice, then stopped. She seemed to be browsing the script.
This kind of hasty, last-minute change of heart is not uncommon in the Chinese entertainment industry, and Yang Huanyi made no attempt to hide it. If an actor doesn't even know when to shut up, they shouldn't be in the entertainment industry.
After the makeup was done, the scene was ready to be filmed.
