The director was actually very satisfied with the shooting of the previous scene. Jiang Nian and Xiao Qian showed the tension in front of danger and the depressive and eager feelings of men and women for each other to the fullest. The most important thing is that although the kiss was sudden, it was an important turning point for the relationship between Song Chengcheng and Du Wei. Naturally, the artistic conception must be photographed, and the photograph must be beautiful.
But the boss was dissatisfied and said the acting was average… The director couldn’t help but mumble that Mr. Xue hadn’t paid much attention to the shooting when he visited the crew before, so why was he so dissatisfied this time?
The director gave the order, so the staff and actors present were naturally in place, ready to start filming again. And because the production supervisor and the assistant director were staring at them, the speed was surprisingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, Xue Hang watched as Xiao Qian hugged Jian Nian again and pressed her against the wall –
Jiang Nian naturally spotted Xue Hang. Xue Hang was standing, surrounded by people like the son of heaven he was. The people who flocked him stood to either his left or right side. After all, who would dare to stand in front of him and obstruct his eyes? Thus, Jiang Nian and Xiao Qian both noticed right away that Xue Hang came to the set.
Jiang Nian was very happy when she knew of Xue Hang’s arrival. After all, she hadn’t seen him for almost three months. But when she turned around and listened to the staff complaining about the fact that the big boss was not satisfied with their work even though they felt that they were shooting well. Jiang Nian almost knelt when she heard it, and became nervous as well. What’s wrong with her acting just now?
She couldn’t help but become anxious: How can she live up to the benefactor’s expectations of her? It seems that she has to do her best to shoot this scene! She must not let Xue Hang become disappointed in her!
Xue Hang: “…”
Xiao Qian naturally felt Jiang Nianru’s anxiousness, and thought she was afraid of not shooting well, so he soothed: “Don’t be afraid, you performed very well just now. Let’s just pay attention to the details, and it’ll be perfect.”
In the past few months, Jiang Nian and Xiao Qian’s relationship evolved from complete strangers to becoming familiar with each other. Xiao Qian was an upright and dedicated person with superb acting skills, so they get along very well. The two usually met each other whenever they had time, practiced their scenes together, and occasionally told each other funny jokes, so there was no awkwardness when shooting the kiss scene.
Jiang Nian did not believe what Xiao Qian said. She felt that she must have performed poorly just now, else Xue Hang wouldn’t be dissatisfied, but she could not dampen the confidence of her teammates, as she was afraid it would be counterproductive. So she replied: “Well, let’s shoot this one well!”
Xiao Qian remarqued unexpectedly: “It’s the first time you’re this nervous when shooting. I haven’t seen you like this before.” This look, really. It’s a bit like being caught by the dean of academic affairs for doing bad things, he thought inwardly.
Jiang Nian hurriedly said: “No, I was also serious and dedicated before!”
Xiao Gan raised his eyebrows and smiled, compromising: “Yes, yes, if you say so.”
Jiang Nian hummed, all while thinking inwardly: No. Maybe the cause of the dissatisfaction is the kiss being not emotional enough or the fact that she couldn’t express fully the tension in such a dangerous situation… Of course it’s not in any way related to the benefactor’s requirements being too high or him being nitpicky, Xue Hang is so great and knowledgeable, so he must have seen the shortcomings they couldn’t see!
Xue Hang on the side: “…” ==
He couldn’t help but grinded his teeth. Who instilled these messy thoughts in Jiang Nian’s heart? Not letting him down means shooting good… kiss scenes?
He squinted at Jiang Nian, who was close to Xiao Qian. The two talked and laughed, and they were obviously close. Everyone knew that they had a good relationship.
Xue Hang couldn’t tell what he thought at the moment. He just saw Jiang Nian being held in another man’s arms and kissed, and even saw her leaning against other men’s chest the same way she did in his arms before…At that moment, in his heart rose an unexplainable anger. Even he was surprised by this novel feeling.
Xue Hang understood the profession of an actor, and that it’s indispensable for actors to shoot emotional scenes in which they should behave intimately with others. This was part of the work.
…But although he knew it was work, it was still unpleasant all the same.
The assistant production assistants were all observing Xue Hang’s face secretly. They only felt that his expressionless face became calmer and his gaze deeper, making people wonder what he was thinking. But it was obvious that his mood was low, as the surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees… They couldn’t help but wipe the sweat trickling on their foreheads. Could it be that their professional attitude is wrong? Otherwise, why does the big boss look increasingly unhappy?
The director was also under great pressure. Seeing everyone was ready for the upcoming scene, he wanted to shout “Start” with the loudspeaker-but he couldn’t, as a hand stretched over and took the loudspeaker from him.
After the director was stunned, he got angry, the boss is here but someone dares to make trouble? Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw Xue Hang standing beside him and looling at him aloofly and politely.
He immediately switched his frown to a smiling face: “…Ms. Xue?”
Xue Hang said solemnly: “No need to reshoot, the shot just now was okay, you guys worked hard, take a rest.”
The director was a little confused, but his work attitude was very strict: “It’s okay, Mr. Xue, we can take a few more shots then choose the best one out of the bunch.”
Because Xue Hang’s behavior was very strange, many people took notice of it, Jiang Nian and Xiao Qian included.
Xue Hang’s face stiffened unnoticeably, and he refused coldly, “No!”
The little assistant was still winking, and he secretly glanced at his boss and hurried forward to round the field. The production assistant over there was confused and didn’t understand what Xue Hang meant, but I also hurriedly said that I would not shoot. The boss has all spoken. How dare they not listen?
In that case, let’s not take a rest.
The reshoot was finally shelved, and Xue Hang let an almost inaudible sigh of relief.
Xiao Qian had already let go of Jiang Nian, he looked at Xue Hang, then at Jiang Nian, suddenly smiled, as a sudden realization dawned on him.
Jiang Nian was very happy. She wrapped the shawl sent by her assistant around her, and went to Xue Hang happily with small steps. Gossip circulated like fire, so the news of Xue Hang helping Jiang Nian several times were all over the circle. It’s no secret that Jiang Nian and Xue Hang knew each other, so when the crew members saw Jiang Nian’s happy expression, they were unsurprised.
Xiao Qian followed Jiang Nian and extended his arm like the gentleman he was for Jiang Nian, who was wearing a tuxedo and high heels, to put her hand on his to stabilize herself.
Jiang Nian said gratefully: “Thank you.”
Xiao Qian replied good-naturedly: “You’re welcome.”
Xue Hang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xiao Qian for a few times. The latter acted as if he didn’t realize the sharp gaze on him, and approached the former: “Hello, Mr. Xue. It’s been a long time. ”
The two had met several times, but they never went past exchanging greetings. Xue Hang’s impression of Xiao Qian was that he was a good actor, and in Xiao Qian’s eyes, Xue Hang was a powerful careerist and entrepreneur. .
Xue Hang greeted back, “Hello.” (T/N: it’s curt, mister~ Keep it down, vinegar pot)
He looked at Jiang Nian, who was full of joy. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly before it went down. He was not too happy to see her so happy.
Jiang Nian said: “Mr. Xue, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, I didn’t know you would come to visit the class today.” If she knew, she would have rehearsed to perform well, otherwise the pleasant surprise will turn into fright!
Xue Hang wanted to scream, the nice surprise turned into fright happened already!
Thinking of this, he suddenly stiffened again, and ground his teeth secretly.
Jiang Nian was also keenly aware that Xue Hang’s mood seemed to be wrong. She thought about it carefully, she probably didn’t offend him, except for the filming that didn’t seem to be done well, but he said that there is no need to reshoot… Then she won’t be afraid. A wise person like Xue Hang will definitely not harm the innocent. If he wanted to give punishment, he would find those who made him angry.
“…Heh.”
Xue Hang couldn’t help but glared at Jiang Nian. Not only did he want to grind his teeth, but his hands were also itchy.
His heart very tired, he waived his hand for the producer and the director to busy themselves and not attend to him. Xue Hang gave the order, and they would not disobey, but even if they stepped aside, they can’t stop their eyes from turning to Xue Hang.
As the people around became fewer, Jiang leaned a little toward Hang Xue and whispered: “Benefactor, I will listen to you and work hard, stand up on my own to ensure that you will not be disappointed!”
It was visible to the naked eye that Xue Hang’s face was green.
He finally couldn’t help it, and took the long strands of hair that scattered across the shoulders of Jiang Nian in his.
They were soft, fluffy, and a bit cool.

In the past few months, Sun Xu lived in hiding. He didn’t dare to go out, let alone face the scorn of others when they looked at him. He didn’t even want to answer the phone calls of his family members and lived like a dog.
How brilliant his previous days were. Every time he traveled, there were at least five or six people around him to protect him, he was followed by fans and received endless praises and gifts. Not like now, being shot with rotten eggs whenever he went.
Once standing on a high place, he was not accustomed to this life of misery and constantly felt as if he was in the abyss of despair.
Sun Xu thought a lot. If he wanted to regain his previous glory, he could a few years for the public to forget about the matter, but he didn’t want to wait. Who knew if there would be a place for him after a few years from now? Since he didn’t want to wait, Jiang Nian’s help was still needed. He thought, as long as Jiang Nian forgives him and is willing to be with him again, even if the public still condemns him it will no longer be this blatant, because Jiang Nian’s attitude towards him will take a turn for the better. After all, the parties involved have forgiven him, so what right do those outsiders have to make irresponsible remarks?? If Jiang Nian helped him explain a few more words, wouldn’t his comeback be just around the corner?
But Jiang Nian had moved, plus she blacklisted him and her attitude was so determined when he rushed to find her that he feared she would not agree. But he didn’t want to give up this golden opportunity. After thinking twice, Sun Xu bought a plane ticket and planned to go to Yingshi* city in disguise.
(*Yingshi means litteraly “movie and television”)
He knew that Jiang Nian was now filming “Dawn,” as many fans and media reporters on the Internet were interested in the news about Jiang Nian. Of course, just in case, he also specifically contacted his former agent, begging him to inquire about Jiang Nian’s current situation. The agent was also conscientious and told Sun Xu that he had heard that the whole crew of “Dawn” would dine at the hot pot restaurant near the hotel, Sun Xu even received the address of the restaurant.
In order to avoid the eyes of outsiders, he took a plane at 8 o’clock in the evening and landed after 10 o’clock.
