This phrase, Warm felt deeply after experiencing the highs and lows of warmth.
Director Lin was filming a scene with the male and female leads. It was an extremely beautiful play but also highly challenging; he had shot it four times without satisfaction, making Director Lin very unhappy, with dark clouds gathering.
He even scolded Bai Xiwen several times.
A young actor nearby, who was gossiping with another about the situation, said, "Even a top-tier actress can be called an idiot by the director. If not for climbing into Ye Ershao's bed, she wouldn't know where she'd be now."
"That’s right, I’ve read the reports; they had rumors of a relationship with Ye Ershao," another young actor chimed in.
Warm pursed her lips, realizing that the ‘Second Young Master’ mentioned was Ye Feimo.
Ye Feimo was actually the third-born child, with older siblings. He should have been called Third Young Master; however, his father, Ye Chen, was also the third son and referred to as Third Young Master. With his sister, Ye Hailan, having passed away when young to distinguish him from his father and aunt, the media had dubbed him Second Young Master.
Warm stuck out her tongue in disgust; this pervert truly rejected nothing, even more promiscuous than a stud horse. He could take Bai Xiwen, who was so arrogant and vulgar. Was he really desperate
Bashful
This kind of man was the most detestable.
She thoroughly despised Ye Feimo in her heart.
Venice.
Eating with Mo Yeyan, Ye Feimo elegantly sneezed. Mo Yeyan blinked his eyes and said, “Oh! Your beloved is cursing you”
"Shut up."
Moyeyan made a gesture to shut up, but after only two seconds he spoke again: "When did you start getting interested in the hustle and bustle of film festivals"
"Shut up."
"This is how you treat your lover" Moyeyan put on an aggrieved expression with a trembling蘭花指, looking like a virtuous woman who had been abandoned. His handsome face instantly became more appealing.
"Shut up," Ye FeiMo sent him two more words of truth.
Moyeyan said he was very sad: "Feimo, getting abandoned is definitely your fault. Really, no woman can handle you like this. Sigh, both your lovers didn't learn a thing from you. If they showed some smiles or something, even the president of some country would be willing to pay them just for that smile. You don’t know how to take advantage of such an edge. Are you really dumb"
"Shut up."
"Alright, you are truly dumb," Moyeyan concluded.
Director Lin was a renowned international director, with over a decade of directing experience that had earned him fame and fortune. Two of his films had won major international awards, receiving acclaim both at home and abroad. He also guaranteed box office success for any film he directed.
No matter whether it was an art film or a commercial one, countless viewers went to see just because it was directed by Director Lin.
But his temper was notoriously bad; acting in his films was extremely difficult. A famous actress he once promoted had implied in an interview that she did not want to work with him again.
Wenran had witnessed his bad temper firsthand as well, where he didn't hold back when insulting others, regardless of how popular they were. If anyone performed poorly in his film, they would get scolded; apart from the two veteran actors, everyone else had been scolded by him at some point or another.
"Cut," Director Lin smashed the production board onto the ground out of anger: "Bai Xiwen, are you brain-dead Really a fool Is it so hard to shoot a** film Are your shoulders that shy to bare How come undressing for your sugar daddy isn't difficult then What's with you, can’t show your shoulder to national audiences but fine showing yourself to your sugar daddy Aren't people who buy movie tickets also paying If you keep performing poorly, I’ll still fire you."
Director Lin had a way of verbally insulting others in the most unpleasant ways. Bai Xiwen was currently at her peak after being famous for two years and had many fans. The films she starred in all achieved good ratings.
The main issue was that no other director would casually let out a string of curses like Director Lin did, completely disregarding others' feelings. Other directors only complimented her, even if there were some flaws in her acting; her beautiful looks could cover up much of it. She had always been adored by fans, and now she felt ashamed and angry after receiving several scoldings but dared not retort.
To get a part in Director Lin's film, others would break down the door to get it;好不容易能當女主角,再大的氣也要忍著。
The director is really scary.
Such harsh words!
They shot it again. Bai Xiuyan was either dizzy from the scolding or something else, her state wasn't right at all. She had just said one line of dialogue and hadn’t even taken off her clothes when Director Lin called "cut," his face looked terrible.
"Damn it! Call up the producer, I want to replace the lead actress." Director Lin was furious. Bai Xiuyan was shocked and hurried over to plead for mercy. His icy gaze swept past her; the assistant director rushed over to calm down the director. They were halfway through filming; how could they change the female lead now Bai Xiuyan was on the verge of tears.
The second team's director thought of a solution: "A stand-in actor."
"Let’s go watch the scene." Warmth excitedly pulled Chen Xieru to one side to watch. Bai Xiuyan had a stand-in actress who quickly put on makeup and changed into her costume under the assistant director's instructions, but even this stand-in wasn’t any good. The director was about to blow his top again; the script supervisor, producer, and assistant director were all sweating with anxiety.
The assistant director glanced at Chen Xieru, thinking of asking her to take over a scene, but she refused.
Director Lin demanded perfection. Everyone was desperate when he insisted on getting this scene right today; there was no other stand-in left, and the young actresses present were few to begin with.
In their haste after being bombarded by Director Lin’s harsh words, everyone gathered together to brainstorm ideas. It had nothing to do with Warmth originally, but Tang Mandong dragged her onto their side with one sentence: "Director Lin, why don’t you let Warmth give it a try Her acting talent is praised even by Teacher Cheng Yu."
Who doesn't know Teacher Cheng Yu from A University's Performance Department He’s an old veteran who has retired from the film industry and teaches at A University now.
"Which one of you" Director Lin asked icily.
Tang Mandong pointed to Warmth, who was staring blankly beside them.
She got hit even when she wasn't lying down.
"Teacher Cheng also praised Warmth. Are you from A University's Performance Department" The production staff asked with wide eyes.
Warmth nodded.
The producer asked, "I heard that Teacher Cheng made an exception and took on a new student. Is it you"
Warming nodded.
Director Lin's stern gaze swept over her before pointing at the makeup artist, "Go, do your makeup, change clothes, immediately."
The two makeup artists led the stunned Warming away to get ready.
She didn't say a word and just smiled. Bai Xiwen was so angry she stomped her foot, but others watching closely could tell that this girl had completely fallen into an automatic state of reaction.
The assistant director announced a break on set. Warming's first instinct upon coming to her senses was refusal; she didn't want to be a body double for such scenes.
However, the assistant director had already come over to run through the scene with her.
This particular scene was the hardest in terms of physical expression. The five-minute sex scene only required four lines of dialogue, and everything else would have to be conveyed through body language. Tang Mandong truly was a close friend; she could tell that Warming wanted to refuse and immediately tried to persuade her to give it a go.
It was Director Lin's film, even if she were just playing the role of a stand-in, it would still be a chance to gain valuable experience.
This was a great opportunity.
Chen Xier nodded; after several days together, she naturally knew that Warming came from the Acting Department. Although she was new, Cheng Yu's last student was no ordinary person—Kan Bi had even been turned down by him back in the day.
Warming hesitated somewhat; for someone filming their first movie, the level of intimacy required was quite a step up. After much silent contemplation, she gritted her teeth and agreed. Once she made up her mind, she would do her best to excel at it.
The costume design was quickly completed. The crew then presented Warming before Director Lin, who squinted his eyes and said, "How come you look so much like Kan Bi"
Everyone present had the same thought—Warming didn't actually resemble Kan Bi; only their facial contours were somewhat similar, with the lower half of their faces being quite alike. However, their eyes looked nothing alike; Warming possessed a pair of mysterious, enchanting almond-shaped eyes.
