Ji Pingtao walked up to the director and said calmly, "Director Qiao, I'll call it a day after I finish this scene today."
"Pingtao, the night scene we filmed yesterday didn't go very well, so we'll reshoot it tonight." Director Qiao said with a smile, "You'll have to work hard tonight."
Ji Pingtao's expression changed instantly: "Director Qiao, that scene last night was reshot fifteen times. The problem isn't with me because she couldn't do it well."
"I have cooperated as required."
Director Qiao looked helpless upon hearing this. He knew it was a bit difficult for Ji Pingtao, but what could he do? The actress who was acting alongside Ji Pingtao was the investor's daughter, a real asset.
"Pingtao, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Pingtao looked at the woman who had just walked over and said, "If you don't know how to act, you can choose not to. I have no obligation to play along with your nonsense."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Director Qiao and said, "If we can film, we'll finish today's scenes. If we can't, I can terminate the contract at any time."
Bai Jingshu looked aggrieved upon hearing this: "I know I've caused trouble for Actor Ji, but I had no choice. I didn't perform well last night, and I also hope to make a good film."
"Everyone says that Actor Ji is a dedicated senior, and I'm sure you also hope to do your best in every film."
Listening to Bai Jingshu's witty remarks, Ji Pingtao smiled and asked, "Where did I not film it well?"
Bai Jingshu fell silent instantly. Could she say that the problem lay with her?
Of course, we can't say that even if they are wrong, it's their fault.
Ji Pingtao glanced at Bai Jingshu: "Don't make that face. People who don't know better will think I'm bullying you."
"Everyone in the industry knows that Miss Bai is a walking money tree, who would dare to offend you?"
Bai Jingshu's tears fell instantly, and when she raised her head, she looked very aggrieved: "Actor Ji, I know my acting skills are not good, and I am trying my best to improve. Can't you be a little more patient with a junior?"
“If I didn’t have patience, I would have started yelling at people last night.” Ji Pingtao chuckled. “Last night, we filmed our scene together fifteen times. Your performance got worse each time, but I patiently cooperated with you again and again.”
"If you're going to cause trouble again tonight, then go ahead and do it yourself. I'm not playing along." Ji Pingtao sneered and turned to leave.
I don't even want to film the scenes this afternoon.
It's not like Bai Jingshu is the only one in the industry who can go home and inherit the family business.
Even if Ji Pingtao isn't the heir to the Ji family, he's still a shareholder who can make money without lifting a finger.
Moreover, he has other investments, and he stays in this industry purely because he likes it and can't bear to part with his lovely fans.
When Assistant Lin saw that Brother Tao had left without hesitation after confronting Miss Bai, he swallowed hard and quickly followed.
As for apologizing on behalf of Brother Tao?
I'm sorry, he doesn't understand, and he doesn't know how.
If Brother Tao feels he is wrong, he will naturally apologize. If he doesn't apologize, it proves that in Brother Tao's mind, he is not wrong.
That's right, why should I apologize?
Bai Jingshu couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"He actually dared to leave?" Bai Jingshu looked at Director Qiao: "Isn't he afraid I'll fire him?"
Upon hearing this, Director Qiao reminded her, "Miss Bai, Actor Ji is never short of scripts. If you fire him, he'll probably be grateful to you."
According to the contract, if the investor wants to terminate the contract, Ji Yingdi will not have to pay any penalty; on the contrary, he will receive compensation.
Who wouldn't want to get paid without doing any work?
Director Qiao thought to himself: I also want to be able to get paid just by lying down.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jingshu's face twisted instantly. Remembering that they were in a public place, she quickly composed herself and looked at Director Qiao: "What should we do? Are we just going to let last night's scene go like this?"
Director Qiao was filled with bitterness and wanted to cry: "Even if we reshoot last night's scene, we can only use a stunt double."
He agreed to the reshoot because Baek Jung-sook's acting was truly awful.
If he had known that the Bai family was dishonest and brought in a rich young lady who knew nothing, he should have refused their investment in the first place.
After leaving the film set, Ji Pingtao went back to his hotel room to change his clothes and went straight to find Huo Yunsheng.
I was worried that if I arrived late, I would miss the show.
Looking out from the balcony of Huo Yunsheng's new home, you can see Losang's room.
This is also one of the important reasons why Huo Yunsheng was willing to buy this villa at a high price. He wouldn't be crazy enough to spy on Losang, but since the two houses are so close, he can know immediately if Losang makes any move.
Ji Pingtao went upstairs out of curiosity. He carefully moved to Huo Yunsheng's side and reached out his hand to see if this grumpy man had a fever and damaged his brain, which was why he had moved here.
Huo Yunsheng slapped Ji Pingtao's hand: "I don't know which woman you got out of bed from, don't touch me with your hands."
Seeing his brother's disdainful look, Ji Pingtao chuckled: "Are you... envious and jealous?"
"Indeed, jealousy can distort a person beyond recognition."
Huo Yunsheng chuckled lightly: "Do I need you to envy me?"
Stop patting yourself on the back.
Ji Pingtao chuckled, stopping his banter with Huo Yunsheng, and asked curiously, "What's on the other side that's worth standing here looking at for several minutes?"
Huo Yunsheng shook his head: "It's nothing."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to go back to his room.
"Holy crap, it's her." Ji Pingtao pointed at the girl on the opposite balcony and said, "Yun Sheng, I never thought that tigress lived here."
Huo Yunsheng turned his head and saw that Losang was standing on the balcony, also looking in this direction.
Ji Pingtao's voice was a bit loud, and Losang heard it too. She glanced at Ji Pingtao and asked with a smile, "It seems I went easy on you last time."
Upon hearing this, Ji Pingtao felt a lingering pain in his arm: "Did I say something wrong?"
"She looks so cute, but she has such a bad temper and personality. She's fierce, like a raging tiger."
Huo Yunsheng did not remind Ji Pingtao, who was recklessly courting death, that if someone who deserves to be taught a lesson doesn't learn to shut up after one beating, then two beatings will suffice.
Besides, people always have a sense of closeness and distance, and at this moment, he would definitely side with Losang.
Losang was a little surprised to see these two people here. If she remembered correctly, the person living next door was not one of these two.
She looked at Ji Pingtao and asked with a smile, "Actor Ji, you didn't hit me hard enough last time."
Ji Pingtao retorted, "You took advantage of someone's vulnerability last time."
"I never expected that the famous Actor Ji would be such a scoundrel. If you can't beat someone, you can't beat them, so you take advantage of their weakness." Losang revealed a sarcastic smile: "If we're talking about taking advantage of someone's weakness, then you took advantage of my bad condition at the time and tried to cheat me."
"Looking back now, I realize I really hit too lightly back then."
Huo Yunsheng nodded: "Indeed, you hit too lightly. You should have hit harder to protect yourself."
