CH 42.1

After the audition, a date was arranged for the start of the production, and everyone dispersed. Yuan Buwei walked out of this room slowly and was about to return to the president’s office.

It’s Wen Jiaojiao, who hasn’t left yet.

A man suddenly appeared at the corner and stood in front of him: “director Yan, a moment please.”

It’s Wen Jiaojiao. She hasn’t left yet.

The black dress set off her slender and tall posture. She slightly tilted her head and revealed her beautiful neck, with skin glowing white under the light.

She looked at Yuan Buwei with a pair of moving eyes and changed the way she addressed him.

“Senior, in fact, I have one more important thing to do today, which is to apologise to you.”

Wen Jiaojiao’s tone was especially sincere. After that, she bowed deeply. However, she just sprained her left foot, so that her whole body could not help shaking.

At the next moment, the man in front of her moved aside and let Wen Jiaojiao bump into the wall.

Wen Jiaojiao, who prepared to fall into Yuan Buwei’s arms: “…?”

Although she had been prepared for Yuan Buwei’s attitude for a long time, she still couldn’t help gritting her teeth and continued to say in a gentle voice: “what Zhou Yao did before… Was too much. Blame me for implicating senior!”

Yuan Buwei nodded his head in acceptance, replying sincerely: “as long as you know. Turn over a new leaf and start a new life.”

Wen Jiaojiao: “…??”

… Shouldn’t you take advantage of the situation and ask why you were implicated and why Zhou Yao was hostile to you? Don’t you have a little curiosity ? !

She watched helplessly as Yuan Buwei completely bypassed the “shy and timid confession” that she had prepared and fell into consternation and depression.

Is she not beautiful enough? Is the tone of apology not sincere enough? Is her trembling posture not pitiful enough? Are her hints not obvious enough? Or is this man really blind? If you’re not using them, donate your eyes to those in need!

Yuan Buwei had not taken a few steps, when suddenly a girl’s quiet sobbing voice came out from behind him. It seemed that all her depression had finally broke out——

“What did I do wrong? Zhou Yao liked me and pestered me all the time. He even attacked the people I liked and implicated me in the detention centre… He made the mistake, but I lost everything! I don’t blame senior for your anger. Just… What did I do wrong…” her voice was intermittent, tears moistened her eyelashes, looking as beautiful as pear blossoms in rain.

Yuan Buwei didn’t turn around, but answered casually: “maybe your wrongs are being ugly and not realising it?”

Wen Jiaojiao’s crying stopped: “??”

“Or is it dreaming too beautifully?”

Wen Jiaojiao can’t cry anymore.

——her fists clenched hard.

Looking at the figure that was moving away quickly, Wen Jiaojiao kept taking deep breaths and forcibly suppressed her anger. But in her turmoil, the hand on the wall loosened, and the whole person immediately sat on the ground, almost doing the splits.

Wen Jiaojiao uttered a muffled groan.

… sh*t!

She lowered her head and rubbed her swollen ankles in dejection, with a thousand MMP’s1 in her heart.

She has never seen such a dog man in her two lives! Can’t be moved, really can’t be moved!

Wen Jiaojiao completely gave up.

… sure enough, it’s easier to pick up the scum man.

——

Yuan Buwei walked a while before he stopped.

He turned a corner to the side of the stairs, went around and returned to the room where the audition was held. Stopped and turned his head to look at the door: “Come out.”

The door of the room was opened by a crack, and someone quietly poked out her head, holding a mobile phone in one hand. He recognised that this was the second female lead of the crew.

Fang Yao was still holding up her mobile phone and looked at him awkwardly: “Yan, director Yan.”

She came back to find something just now, and when she was about to leave, she happened to see Wen Jiaojiao rushing out to entangle with him.

Because she could only see his back, she was not frightened by Yuan Buwei. Instead, she took a complete video of all of Wen Jiaojiao’s expressions from beginning to end.

Yuan Buwei didn’t push, and only looked at her placidly.

Now, facing one of the parties involved, Fang Yao is in a panic: “director Yan, I didn’t mean it. I didn’t intend to spread it! I, I will delete it now!”

Fang Yao subconsciously wanted to give her mobile phone to him, but she heard him suddenly say:

“Don’t delete it. Send me a copy. I want to use it.”

Fang Yao opened her mouth in surprise: “… Ah?”

… director Yan’s reaction is a bit strange? She almost thought she was going to be kicked out of the crew.

Fang Yao didn’t contemplate much and responded with joy, as if worried that he would not go back on his words. Her fingers flew across the screen of her mobile phone and forwarded the video.

——

After this incident, Fang Yao has been on tenterhooks. She is worried that one day she will be kicked out of the crew by Shengshi. At the same time, she is also very curious, always paying attention to Yuan Buwei’s movements, anticipating what he will do with the video.

However, nothing happened even when the crew quietly started filming. Everything was calm, and it seemed that she was the only one who dreamed it.

“Cut-“

“Fang Yao, you play a proud and beautiful princess, not an arrogant idiot. Try to be smart. Unless… I overestimated you. With your poor IQ, you can’t control this role, so even if you have more acting skills, you can’t make up for it.”

——Good! She wants to take back the description of calm. He’s a storm, with thunder and lightning!

Bathed in the sympathetic eyes of others, Fang Yao quickly regained her mind. She was like a primary school student who was taught by the teaching director, bowing her head obediently: “director Yan, I’m wrong. I’ll act well next time.”

Yuan Buwei swept his eyes over and said calmly: “”One more time, continue to shoot.”

With his words, the whole production team started working again.

Soon, the young man’s deep and sweet voice sounded again in the crew. The tone was always slow and elegant, but the words were like knives, fierce and cutting.

“… you really performed an effect that I never imagined. I never knew that you were so full of imagination.”

“… you were just stabbed in the arm, not with broken hands and legs. Be strong, okay? Don’t let the audience mistakenly think that our production team uses real knives and guns, when they watch this.”

“…although you don’t have the wisdom of the male lead, I hope you can at least act like you do. I’m not too demanding, it’s enough to deceive the audience.”

——-

It has to be said that his voice is really pleasant, even when expressing casual sneer and sarcasm.

However, no matter how beautiful the voice is, the public dare not appreciate it. One by one, they kept silent and did not dare to come forward when the director was “angry”, for fear of hitting the muzzle of the gun.

After getting along with each other these days, everyone in the crew has understood the attributes of Yuan Buwei.

Usually, he is cold and indifferent and easy to approach. Once he entered the working state and started filming, the director immediately turned into a “tyrant on the set”. That extremely strong momentum can make everyone breathless.

He never gets angry loudly or utters dirty words. He just sits there quietly and looks like a noble young man. Even his tone of voice is not too urgent or too slow, like commanding Buddha that gives orders.

But every word he uttered tested their psychological endurance, and once made someone wander on the edge of violating the criminal law.

Because of Yuan Buwei’s stringent requirements, almost every actor has been criticised. Even Xie Ze, the leading actor, failed to escape the disaster. Because the final scene was not shot well enough, he was hit with a storm.

It was not until Xie Ze retook it several times that he finally passed the test and a temporary rest was announced.

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

To tell the truth, they were a little afraid of working for this director. Although the other party’s excellence has also helped their acting skills improve a lot, it’s not easy to be hit by his sentences from time to time.

What’s more, Yuan Buwei always has an overly forceful manner. Even if they are just stared at by his calm eyes, they can’t help but kneel down and admit their mistakes. It’s simply inexplicable and weird.

Of course, there is one exception.
