“Yun Xi, you’ve been filming for the entire afternoon today. How do you feel?”

This familiar opening line made Yun Xi return to the time when she was scolded by her class teacher for passing on a note in school.

“I know that there are many problems with today’s filming. Director, please scold me…”

Director Zhao was considered to have a good temper compared to others in the industry, but the more he did so, the more guilty Yun Xi felt.

“What are you talking about? Scolding you will not be of much help to the filming. Don’t say that in the future. Since there’s something wrong, we’ll think of a way to resolve it. Don’t waste each other’s time. Actually, I’ve already expected the situation today, and I can’t blame you. After all, this kind of scene isn’t something that anyone can just shoot.”

As Director Zhao spoke, he fished out two cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed them into Gu Linyan’s hands.

“You know ‘Wind and Rain’, right? It’s the film that won an award last year, and there were similar scenes in it. At that time, it took a total of three days to shoot, and only one of the hundreds of scenes was selected. One can imagine how difficult it was. You’re a newcomer, just do your best and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Yun Xi had seen the film Director Zhao mentioned, and she had cried so hard that she needed a few packets of tissues.

However, she had not thought much about the difficulties involved. Perhaps this was the difference between a professional and the generic audience.

Fortunately, it was still not too late to change her mind.

Director Zhao saw her expression and knew that Yun Xi must have listened to him, so he continued to say, “You have all seen the script. The feelings between the male lead and the female lead are very complicated, and it is not something that can be explained in just a few words. And these contents can only be presented for three to four minutes in the film. You must act out that feeling.”

Gu Linyan was currently the youngest Best Actor in the industry. This kind of request was not a difficult thing for him at all. The difficult part was getting Yun Xi to act it out well.

Director Zhao simply did not urge them to progress. Instead, he told them to go back and rest well today and find out how they felt before talking.

Feeling frustrated, Yun Xi skipped dinner. When she returned to the hotel, she locked herself in her room and fumbled about the script repeatedly.

[It’s hard to control and sad. I have a feeling that this is the last intimate contact between us… ‘

After watching for a long time, Yun Xi felt that the words on the script were dancing. “Help! How do i act this out? Can someone help me?”

“Yun Xi? Are you asleep?”

She didn’t know if God had heard Yun Xi’s cry for help, but the next second, someone knocked on the door.

This floor was filled with crew members, so Yun Xi did not have to be on guard. She tidied up her clothes and got up to open the door.

“Director Zhao? It’s so late, why are you here?”

Director Zhao was still wearing a thick coat, and it was obvious that he had just returned from the filming site.

“It’s nothing, I’m just here to see you. Today’s filming must have had quite a big impact on you, right? If you have nothing to do, go and look for Gu Linyan to discuss more. That kid usually doesn’t have much to do on the set.”

Director Zhao smiled elegantly, giving off the air of an unworldly expert.

Yun Xi did not expect the director to make a special trip to look for her. She was very touched and she said, “Thank you for your concern, Director, but I’ll take a look for myself. It’s already so late, Teacher Gu should have already gone to bed.”

“No, believe me, Gu Linyan is a night owl. But he won’t sleep at twelve o’clock. It just so happens that I still have his room card here. Take it and go over. If there’s anything you don’t know, take the opportunity to ask. Don’t stand on ceremony, I’ll check tomorrow. You should get more familiar with his habits.”

After saying that, Director Zhao stuffed the room key card into Yun Xi’s hand and left without looking back..
