s.h.i.+ Xuexin refused to try the scene no matter what.

The a.s.sistant also took advantage of s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s backing to be arrogant. “We’ll try it whenever s.h.i.+ Jin comes. The two female leads should be treated the same way.”

“There is indeed something going on with s.h.i.+ Jin, so please cooperate.”

“Why can’t the treatment be the same between the two of them? You guys aren’t in the right either.” The a.s.sistant shrugged. “Anyway, we’ll do whatever s.h.i.+ Jin does. We’re not making things difficult for you, right?”

The a.s.sistant director was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He just did not dare to offend Boss Xiang. Otherwise, why would he give s.h.i.+ Xuexin face?

s.h.i.+ Jin could film at least ten days worth of scenes in three days. Could s.h.i.+ Xuexin?

The a.s.sistant director shook his head and went back to report to the director.

s.h.i.+ Xuexin called Boss Xiang directly. “Boss Xiang, I can’t come to have dinner with you tonight. The production team insisted that I do something useless and waste my time. That’s fine, but if s.h.i.+ Jin doesn’t want to do something, she can choose not to do it. As for me, I have to do everything. I’m really sorry, Boss Xiang. I’m probably dragging you down.”

After s.h.i.+ Xuexin hung up, she heard someone shouting, “Boss Xiang is here.”

s.h.i.+ Xuexin knew that Boss Xiang had come to support her.

As Boss Xiang walked over, many people stood up.

The aura that he had gained from his experience in society made Boss Xiang, who was in his fifties, still maintain the dignity of a superior. His gaze was rough and sharp, making people fearful.

s.h.i.+ Xuexin did not expect him to arrive so soon either. She quickly stood up. “Boss Xiang.”

“What happened?”

“Boss Xiang, it’s just a small matter.” The a.s.sistant director rushed forward and said, “I didn’t expect that it would alarm Boss Xiang.”

“A small matter is still a matter. Why, is it that in your production team, there’s even a trend of double standards, one for each person?”

“No, it’s just that when s.h.i.+ Jin is filming, it’s indeed faster. It’s not a big problem without a test scene. That’s why we…”

With someone backing her up, s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s tone became much firmer. “She filmed quickly because you guys supported her. I was deliberately delayed, so I can’t speed up even if I wanted to. Who’s to blame?”

The a.s.sistant director was speechless.

The a.s.sistant added fuel to the fire by the side. “I heard that s.h.i.+ Jin’s personal scenes are about to be completed, and Xuexin is still here to waste time. What’s the matter? So everyone only cares about s.h.i.+ Jin’s time. The others’ time is not important. They can waste our time however they want, right?”

“It’s really not like that.” The a.s.sistant director could only tell the truth. “s.h.i.+ Jin’s side is fast because all her scenes are basically done in one take. She didn’t waste any time.”

“Are you saying that Xuexin is wasting time?” the a.s.sistant asked unhappily.

Boss Xiang took out his cigar, cut it slowly, and took a puff. “Since you said that there’s no problem with s.h.i.+ Jin not doing the test scene, then let her come over and start filming.”

Although his words were neither harsh nor soft, his att.i.tude was very obvious.

The a.s.sistant director did not dare to offend him and went to discuss with the director.

The director could only say, “Alright, let s.h.i.+ Jin come over and film with them.”

s.h.i.+ Jin had just finished her solo scenes. She heard that they wanted her to film in front of Boss Xiang.

She frowned. “Why is that?”

“s.h.i.+ Xuexin doesn’t want to do a test shot, so she called Boss Xiang over. Boss Xiang wants to see if you and s.h.i.+ Xuexin can film without the test scene,” the director said in a low voice. “s.h.i.+ Jin, they’re quite serious. Please do us a favor.”

s.h.i.+ Jin took a look at the time. “I still have twenty minutes left for today’s shoot. We agreed to leave in twenty minutes. If anyone delays my time, that won’t do either.”

“Yes. I’ll let you leave when your time is up.”

s.h.i.+ Jin walked over with the director.

She stood in front of s.h.i.+ Xuexin. “I heard that someone wants to watch me shoot without a test scene?”

“It’s not that we want to. It’s just that the director and a.s.sistant director said that you can shoot very well even without a test scene. Naturally, we want to see it for ourselves. If there’s a chance, we should learn from you.” s.h.i.+ Xuexin acted appropriately and generously in front of Boss Xiang.

“I just told the director that I only have twenty minutes. If it’s because of someone else that I have to do more than one take, I have no reason to keep you company.”

Looking at s.h.i.+ Jin’s arrogance, Boss Xiang felt that s.h.i.+ Xuexin had indeed suffered.

If s.h.i.+ Jin had been like this all the time, s.h.i.+ Xuexin would definitely have been suppressed. He puffed out a ring of smoke. “Alright, if you don’t have any problems, you can leave after filming. If it’s s.h.i.+ Xuexin’s problem, cut her out from this scene. You do whatever you want to in the future. If it’s your problem… you’ll be cut out as well. In the future, both of you will do test scenes. You’ll be treated equally.”

“Boss Xiang is a straightforward person. Let’s do that.” s.h.i.+ Jin agreed readily.

Yao Jiahong nodded at the side. “Alright, Boss Xiang. I’ve remembered all the conditions.”

s.h.i.+ Xuexin was secretly delighted. Although she did not have a test scene, there was a scriptwriter who explained the scene to her. She was rather familiar with the scene and lighting arrangements.

This scene was between the two sisters. It was as long as three minutes. If s.h.i.+ Jin’s scenes were deleted, it would definitely affect her character’s image. By then, the two female leads might change into a single female lead.

s.h.i.+ Jin had not come over earlier and was completely unfamiliar with this scene. s.h.i.+ Xuexin did not believe that she could act well.

“Ready, action!”

This was a scene where the younger sister was bullied and hara.s.sed. The older sister, played by s.h.i.+ Jin, still picked up the teacup and knocked on the head of the perpetrator to save the younger sister even though she was afraid herself.

It was also an important part of completing the character of the older sister.

s.h.i.+ Jin walked over and instantly got into character.

She was wearing a cheongsam and looked very beautiful. However, there was always a hint of sadness in her eyes. That was the mark that life had given her.

When she saw that her sister was in trouble, her eyes first flashed with a hint of fear at the ident.i.ty of the abuser. She subconsciously glanced at the gun he was carrying, then her eyes became determined. She picked up the teacup and smashed it at the back of the man’s head.

After smas.h.i.+ng him, she looked at the blood on her hand and sat on the ground in shock.

Seeing that person fall to the ground, she rushed forward and grabbed her sister’s hand. “Go!”

At this moment, her tone and actions were full of love and care for her younger sister.

Even though she did not get along well with s.h.i.+ Xuexin in real life, her eyes were filled with concern, heartache, care and love for her.

She did not come for the test scene just now, but she was very clear about how the lighting was arranged.. Every positioning was just enough for the lights to fall evenly on her body, allowing the camera to record her movements and facial expressions without any difficulty.
