Chen Xingyan couldn't understand, nor did she want to understand. So, she got out of bed, tidied up a little and returned to the set. She couldn't leave!
Seeing that the staff had already started to set up the set, she quickly ran over to help, "Let me do it, I'm strong..."
"Miss Chen, if my sources are correct, you have already been replaced by the director," the lighting technician said as he glared at Chen Xingyan. "You should go back, don't waste your time here."
Chen Xingyan refused to accept it, so she continued to pester other people. But, overnight, everyone's attitude towards her changed.
Worst of all, as soon as the director appeared on set, he completely ignored her and did not even look at her.
Chen Xingyan had never been humiliated like this before.
But, when she thought about the consequences of her own actions, she could only take a deep breath and hold back her tears.
"Director, please let me come back. I will definitely do my best this time."
"Let you come back? It wasn't easy for me to convince An Zihao to give up on you. How could I let you come back? " The director laughed as he spoke. But, to Chen Xingyan, his laughter was extremely sarcastic. "I once gave you a great opportunity, but you didn't take it. Instead, you fooled around all day and didn't take anyone seriously. Instead, you focused on being a stunt double. Now, you can do whatever you want. No one can stop you."
Chen Xingyan endured the director's insults and held back her tears. After quite some time, she finally said, "I can be a handyman for free..."
After hearing this, the director scanned Chen Xingyan from head to toe, "You are just a handyman. Do whatever you want, as long as you don't appear in front of me."
Chen Xingyan seemed to have seen hope as she immediately regained her energy and began to help out on set.
Lin Sheng spotted the lively Chen Xingyan from afar and couldn't help but smile, "If she's smart enough, she will know how to turn defeat into victory."
"That is, to observe Sheng Ge carefully while you act," Lin Sheng's assistant laughed.
Back then, even Tangning had benefited a lot from Lin Sheng's notes.
Lin Sheng was, after all, a three-time Best Actor winner. In terms of acting, he was on par with Bei Chendong and the others.
"Let's go, it's about to start."
This was exactly what Chen Xingyan had in mind. While she was doing odd jobs on set, she would sneak a peek at Lin Sheng's acting. The feeling of being able to act to her heart's content made her realize just how amazing acting was.
Sometimes, Lin Sheng would ask the director to change roles and the director would be curious about Lin Sheng's performance. But, only Lin Sheng's assistant knew, Lin Sheng's motive was to show Chen Xingyan how the character should be and how she should perform.
That night, An Zihao busied himself for the entire day. After not seeing Chen Xingyan, he finally gave her a phone call in the middle of the night, "Why aren't you back yet?"
At this time, Chen Xingyan was standing by the edge of the pool. She really wanted to overcome her fear, but she still lacked the courage to do so.
"I do odd jobs on set," Chen Xingyan replied. "I need to make money to pay you back."
"Alright, you don't have any shows to take on now anyway. It won't be so boring staying there." An Zihao's words were polite and cold. As a result, Chen Xingyan found them particularly piercing.
This was probably An Zihao's reaction to her disappointment.
"An Zihao …"
"Speak!"
"Forget it, it's fine." Chen Xingyan wanted to ask if An Zihao was annoying her, but she couldn't bring herself to do so.
Ever since she was young, she had always been the king of children and was used to being arrogant. So, she had always been a loner and had never understood teamwork or modesty. She had always felt that as long as she was happy, it didn't matter if others were unhappy. But, how could she have imagined that there was someone like An Zihao in this world?
She actually liked her loner self, but …
With this thought, she did not think too much about it as she placed her phone by her side and jumped into the pool.
Afterwards, she followed the instructions online and attempted to stabilize her footing in the pool. In fact, she managed to do it step by step. In the end, that night, she repeatedly jumped into the pool and came out of the pool until her hands were white and wrinkled.
The next morning, as soon as Chen Xingyan saw the director, she immediately ran over to him, "Director, I'm no longer afraid of water. I can finish the rest of the scenes."
However, the director scanned her from head to toe and said, "If you are afraid of water, I will give you time to practice. If you are afraid of mountains, do I have to raze them to the ground? However, this is secondary. What about your acting skills? Do you have any? "
Chen Xingyan was stumped by this question, but she continued to endure. At least, she had already overcome the most difficult obstacle.
Although the director scolded her, he turned a blind eye to Chen Xingyan's behavior. Under normal circumstances, the set would have to be cleared, but the director gave her the right to enter the set.
As usual, Lin Sheng liked to play different roles. After a few tries, Chen Xingyan understood his intentions and decided to keep a notebook on her.
Seeing that she was lying on the floor taking notes whenever she had nothing to do, the director sneered during a break.
The assistant director glanced at her and couldn't help but laugh, "She's quite persevering. Even after you scolded her like that, she didn't leave."
"If she left just like that, An Zihao would probably hang himself," the director replied carelessly. The director replied nonchalantly, "Even if you're so serious, your acting skills might not improve. Just wait and see."
So, Chen Xingyan was extremely busy on set. On one hand, she had to build a good relationship with the crew, on the other hand, she had to observe Lin Sheng's acting. At night, she had to practice on her own and during the day, she had to do all sorts of chores. But, this training was obviously effective.
Even though the director still didn't allow her to act.
Soon, a new female lead arrived on set. Chen Xingyan felt like she had suffered yet another setback. She never expected that, despite her hard work, the director still wouldn't budge.
"Xingyan, the new female lead is arriving today. It's best that you go home," the staff on set were afraid of provoking her. The staff present were afraid that they would agitate her, so they advised her in private. "Actually, it's already a foregone conclusion. No matter what you do, you can't change it."
Chen Xingyan was actually quite upset, but...
She continued to smile, "It's fine. Didn't you say that the lamp rack is too heavy? I'll carry it for you. "
"But, this is too cruel."
No matter how cruel it was, it was because she didn't work hard enough!
She couldn't blame anyone.
Chen Xingyan wanted to call Tangning to complain and ask what she should do. But, Tangning was about to give birth, so she didn't want to cause any more trouble.
A new female lead?
Then, let's show her how strong her opponent is!
