“Although the lines were changed, the filming effect is quite good. This scene is usable and doesn’t need to be reshot.”
Xiao Jin waited for Si Huang to come down and walk up to him before commenting to her.
Finn, who was standing next to her, nodded, “Even more exciting than the original story.”
As soon as he said this, Xiao Jin glanced at him and turned his head away.
Si Huang smiled, “So it seems I passed?” She asked Xiao Jin, but Lei Qie was standing on the other side of Xiao Jin and could obviously hear her.
Among them, only Lei Qie was targeting her. Since she said she passed, it meant that someone had set a difficult test for her, and that person was obviously Lei Qie.
Xiao Jin said, “Of course, you can go and rest now.” As he spoke, he gave Lei Qie a subtle warning, not allowing him to say anything more.
Lei Qie twitched the corners of his mouth. Although he didn’t say anything, his eyes flashed with an ambiguous light when he looked at Si Huang.
Si Huang didn’t bother to guess what that look meant. After confirming she had no other scenes to film that day, she headed to her hotel with the people Xiao Jin had arranged for her.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t endure the hardship, but she felt it wasn’t worth it. She’d rather take care of other things at the hotel and rest well so she could perform better tomorrow.
Along the way, she received stares from various crew members and even bumped into Le Xian, who stopped to greet her.
Si Huang nodded in response, her gentle attitude making Le Xian feel both relaxed and a little disappointed.
He rationally knew he shouldn’t get too close to Si Huang, but on the other hand, he felt they had shared many experiences, and Si Huang shouldn’t treat him with such indifference, like an ordinary person.
“I’ll need your guidance again later,” Le Xian said almost unconsciously as Si Huang was about to leave.
Si Huang turned and glanced at him, then smiled faintly, “Yes, I can see you’ve improved since.”
Le Xian was flattered, watching Si Huang’s figure disappear into the distance, all the way to the dressing room.
“Hey,” a voice came from behind, “You like men?”
Le Xian’s entire back stiffened, cold sweat instantly covering his body. Turning around, he saw Lei Qie, who had appeared behind him at some point. “Are you kidding me? Haha.”
Lei Qie squinted at his smiling face, making Le Xian’s expression almost freeze. Suddenly, he also smiled, “Hehe, I’m kidding. But someone like you shouldn’t even bother with him, or you won’t even know how you died.”
Le Xian emphasized again, “I have a girlfriend.”
“Oh.” Lei Qie seemed uninterested, put his hands behind his head, and leisurely walked back to Xiao Jin’s side.
Le Xian watched his back, his heart racing, his mind filled with some deliberately forgotten past memories, and his face darkened.
A dozen minutes later, Si Huang, having removed her makeup, opened the door to the dressing room and saw Yu Xi talking to a woman.
Both of them looked over when they heard the door open. The woman smiled and said, “Since Young Master Si is out, I won’t bother you any longer. See you next time.”
As she passed by Si Huang, the woman nodded politely to her, her attitude neither humble nor arrogant, which was very pleasant.
At first, Si Huang didn’t pay much attention to this, but when she looked up, she saw Yu Xi staring blankly in the direction the woman had left, and a flash of inspiration struck her.
“What’s her name?”
“Zhao Lili,” Yu Xi blurted out, then came to his senses after speaking. Seeing Si Huang’s ambiguous smile, a hint of embarrassment crossed his face. “She’s the one who played the queen in the play with you.”
“Oh, I didn’t expect her to look so pretty after removing her makeup.” Si Huang recalled the woman’s queenly makeup, which was so heavy that she hadn’t recognized Zhao Lili at first.
“I didn’t expect that either,” Yu Xi said. “Her personality is also good.”
Si Huang: “I rarely see you praise women.”
Yu Xi opened his mouth, a little unsure how to answer, and after two or three seconds, he said dryly, “I didn’t mean anything by it.”
“That’s good.”
“Huh?”
Si Huang glanced down at the note he hadn’t put away yet, which probably had a phone number written on it. “I’m glad you didn’t mean anything by it.”
These words only made Yu Xi more confused, and he felt a little depressed. “She…she just talked to me about wanting to join Fenghuang.”
Si Huang turned to leave, asking, “Hasn’t she signed with a company yet?”
“Yeah, I heard that Xiao Jin discovered her at an art school and signed her directly to the production team.” Yu Xi followed. “I think her personal image is good, and her acting skills are at least able to keep up with your pace, which means she has a foundation. Isn’t Fenghuang recruiting new talent recently? I think she has potential.”
“No.” Si Huang refused outright.
Yu Xi paused, looking at Si Huang with confusion and surprise, not understanding why she would reject such a promising talent so readily.
Si Huang turned to meet his gaze. “Not only will Fenghuang not accept her, but you should also avoid any further contact with her.”
“Why?” Yu Xi asked.
His tone was somewhat somber, but mostly filled with doubt, which eased Si Huang’s mood somewhat. It seemed that Yu Xi’s feelings for Zhao Lili weren’t love at first sight. The reason he did so many heinous things for Zhao Lili in his past life was probably because of the many events that occurred between them that led to Yu Xi’s unwavering devotion to her.
Indeed, just now, seeing Yu Xi and Zhao Lili together, Si Huang remembered that Zhao Lili was the entertainer partner Yu Xi had brought in his past life. For Zhao Lili’s sake, this former top agent, known for his sharp tongue and close relationships, not only offended a bunch of people but also engaged in numerous underhanded schemes. In the end, he was abandoned by Zhao Lili, making him even more cold and sarcastic. If it weren’t for his genuine talent and his sister’s renowned magician and makeup artistry in the entertainment industry, most people wouldn’t have been able to survive after that incident; they might even have been imprisoned.
“Zhao Lili isn’t as innocent as you think,” Si Huang said, leaving it to Yu Xi to decide whether to believe her.
To her delight, Yu Xi didn’t hesitate for long after hearing this before tearing up the note and throwing it in the trash. Yu Xi didn’t ask Si Huang how she knew someone she’d just met wasn’t innocent. It was simply that Si Huang had surprised and shocked him so much in their interactions that he had subconsciously developed a tendency to believe whatever Si Huang said, even without realizing it himself.
