Appearing out of nowhere was equivalent to saying that Jiujiu was not a member of the circle.
Logically speaking, for someone to be chosen by Director Zhang as the female lead, it was impossible for her to be an unknown person.
Liu Xin felt that Jiujiu was not an ordinary person, so she asked her assistant to continue the investigation. She had to find out more about Jiujiu.
She wanted to know the background of this woman who was chatting and laughing with Sean.
Sean had a good impression of Jiujiu, but this impression was based on the script. In other words, Sean's impression of Jiujiu was entirely because of Jiujiu's talent, not because of Jiujiu as a person.
Therefore, after receiving the second half of the script from Jiujiu, Sean left.
Looking at Sean's back, Jiujiu inexplicably felt that Sean's focus was adorable.
The next day, filming officially started.
Although some production crews would find the media to promote the film before filming started.
However, Director Zhang was particularly disdainful of this practice.
Firstly, Director Zhang was famous enough to attract the public's attention without the media's promotion. Secondly, there was a superstar like Sean. Thirdly, it was because of Jiujiu.
Although Director Zhang knew that Jiujiu's acting was quite good, the public did not know that.
Especially when the male lead and the other supporting roles were all big names, Jiujiu, who was an ordinary person, did not have anything to show that could convince the public. It was easy for people with ulterior motives to target her.
Moreover, if people found out that Jiujiu was the scriptwriter of the film, it would be even more difficult to explain.
Unlike Jiujiu, Liu Xin was already very famous in China. She was even vaguely on the list of A-listers.
The reason Liu Xin accepted the film was because Sean was the male lead.
Moreover, Liu Xin took the initiative to say that she was willing to act without a salary on the condition that she could finish her scenes as soon as possible.
Under normal circumstances, Director Zhang was disgusted by the way actors acted. However, since Liu Xin said that she was willing to act without a salary, he could not say anything. He tried his best to finish Liu Xin's scenes as soon as possible.
Liu Xin was NanGong Yu's junior, so she naturally had the most scenes with NanGong Yu.
Of course, because Jiujiu's character, Xiao Xue, was a couple with NanGong Yu, Liu Xin had a lot of scenes with Jiujiu.
Originally, the first day of filming was supposed to be Liu Xin and NanGong Yu's scenes. However, because Sean was still obsessed with the second half of the script given by Jiujiu, he told Director Zhang that he was busy and asked Director Zhang to cancel his scenes.
Director Zhang had no choice but to film the scene between Liu Xin and Jiujiu first.
This was because Liu Xin's assistant did not manage to find out what Jiujiu had done previously.
Liu Xin did not think that Director Zhang would hire an amateur who did not know anything. So, she felt that there were only two possibilities. The first possibility was that Jiujiu had been bribed to join the set, so her past actions had been cleared up and she could not find out anything. The second possibility was that Jiujiu's acting was too bad, so there was not much of a splash.
Judging from Jiujiu's friendly attitude, Liu Xin felt that Jiujiu was most likely the second possibility.
After all, if Jiujiu had a powerful background, she would not have been so friendly.
So, when Liu Xin was acting with Jiujiu, she actually came up with a whimsical idea.
Other than her instinctive dislike for Liu Xin, Jiujiu did not have much disgust for her. After all, she was here to film, not to make enemies.
Moreover, she was the investor of this film. She would only make money if this film made money. So, unless she no longer wanted to make money, she would not get into a conflict with someone like Liu Xin who was willing to film for free.
However, Jiujiu did not expect that Liu Xin would want to deal with her even though she did not want to deal with Liu Xin.
Sensing that Liu Xin was suppressing her, Jiujiu was shocked.
One had to know that she had always used this trick to deal with people she didn't like. She didn't expect that one day, she would be treated in this way. This feeling was really novel.
Jiujiu sighed. She sighed and said, 'Every dog has its day' before she suppressed her scenes.
Liu Xin thought that she had been in the industry for 5-6 years and her acting skills were good enough. Otherwise, she would not have used this method to embarrass Jiujiu.
However, what she didn't expect was that Jiujiu would catch all the things she threw at her and even suppress them in return.
Feeling the pressure from Jiujiu, Liu Xin's expression froze. This made Director Zhang yell 'cut'.
Director Zhang looked at Liu Xin and said, "Liu Xin, your expression is a little unnatural. Let's do it again."
Liu Xin obviously knew that her expression was unnatural. But, when Director Zhang yelled at her, Liu Xin's expression turned even uglier. She nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I was distracted."
She was in the middle of filming, but she was distracted?
This reason was really funny.
Director Zhang was unhappy, but he had no choice but to say, "It's fine. Just pay attention to your expression."
Liu Xin took a deep breath and composed herself before she started filming again.
Liu Xin thought that she would return to normal this time.
But, if Jiujiu could suppress her once, she could do it again.
When they reached the same place, Liu Xin's expression froze again.
Once, twice, thrice, and four times.
After the tenth time, Director Zhang realized that something was wrong.
Director Zhang suggested, "Liu Xin, do you want to take a break before we continue?"
Liu Xin could think of it as a coincidence if it happened once or twice. But, after the tenth time, no matter how stupid Liu Xin was, she could feel that she was suppressed by Jiujiu.
Liu Xin thought that Jiujiu's acting skills were terrible, but she did not expect to be suppressed by Jiujiu. Liu Xin sat down with a terrible expression and glared at Jiujiu. If looks could kill, Jiujiu would have been killed thousands of times.
Jiujiu pretended not to see Liu Xin's murderous glare.
Since Liu Xin wanted to suppress her, she would let Liu Xin know what it was like to be suppressed. She would see if Liu Xin dared to do it again.
Sure enough, because of Jiujiu's suppression, Liu Xin behaved herself during the second take. On the other hand, because Jiujiu had suppressed Liu Xin too much, she did not continue to suppress Liu Xin. Thus, they finished the shoot in one take.
After the first take, it was time for Liu Xin and Sean to shoot the scene together.
Jiujiu sat next to the director and watched Sean's smooth acting through the camera. It was as if he was Nangong Yu's character. She could not take her eyes off him.
Looking at Sean and Liu Xin through the camera, Director Zhang tilted his head slightly and looked at Jiujiu who was sitting next to him. He said softly, "Don't do this again. Liu Xin has a complicated background. You can't afford to offend her."
Obviously, Director Zhang could tell that Jiujiu was suppressing Liu Xin, so he was giving Jiujiu some advice.
Jiujiu naturally knew that Liu Xin was not someone she could afford to offend. Thus, she nodded obediently to show that she understood.
Since Jiujiu said that she understood, the director did not continue.
Jiujiu was a smart person. Since Director Zhang had already given her some advice, she naturally knew what to do.
