Tangning returned to the set of 'Survivor' with Lin Qian. To congratulate her on winning the Fei Tian Best Actress Award, the crew prepared a celebration party and a huge cake for her. This way, 'Survivor' could be promoted from 'Tangning' to 'Best Actress Tangning'.
"Tangning, you still have a long way to go. Although you've won a Fei Tian Award, if you want to completely conquer the hearts of the people, you still need work and time."
"This industry is all about fame and fortune. There are too many bad people out there. It's hard to be yourself forever."
Tangning did not say a word as she continued to eat and drink with the crew.
Finally, the director noticed Lin Qian's presence, "This child is …"
"My new assistant," Tangning replied. "I hope you can take care of her."
"You've been missing an assistant for a long time," the director said as he stood up from his seat. With that, the director stood up from his seat. "I'm old and can't play anymore. It's better for you young people to play. Oh right, there will be new actors joining the cast tomorrow. The first scene will be your scene together. You remember, right?"
Tangning smiled and nodded her head.
"Get some rest."
Because of her award, Tangning's status in the crew slowly rose. Now, everyone on set had to address her respectfully as Ning Jie. Of course, this respect came from the bottom of their hearts.
"I don't need you to do most of the things, but there are some things that are a bit difficult for me to do myself," Tangning said.
"I understand," Lin Qian nodded. Although Tangning didn't like to put on airs, there were a lot of things that required an assistant to handle in advance. That way, she could save a lot of time.
"I've asked the staff to arrange a room for you. It's right next to mine. I have a scene tomorrow morning at 7am. Remember to wake up." After giving her instructions, Tangning turned and opened the door to her room. At this time, a woman suddenly ran through the corridor and almost bumped into Tangning.
"Sorry, sorry Ning Jie. I was too excited to see you, so I couldn't control myself and acted on impulse. I hope you don't mind. I am a new actress on set, Xu Xin."
The woman was relatively skinny and looked like she hadn't had a good meal. But, she had a warm smile and didn't look annoying at first glance.
"Rest early." Tangning shook the woman's hand and returned to her room, followed by Lin Qian. Xu Xin stood in front of Tangning's room excitedly for quite some time before she reluctantly went to find her own room.
The next morning, Tangning and Lin Qian were the first to arrive on set. After the makeup was done, Lin Qian almost didn't recognize Tangning.
After all, Tangning had abandoned her glamorous identity from yesterday and turned into the old, ugly and crazy woman from 'Survivor'. Meanwhile, Xu Xin's role was to search for her sister, who had died in a plane crash.
Seeing the mess on Tangning's body, Xu Xin couldn't take it anymore. Before the shoot started, she approached Tangning and said, "Ning Jie, you've sacrificed a lot. Don't you feel bad seeing your hair sticking to your face?"
"I said" said "said" Jie said "said" I said ".
"I've always heard that your acting is very good, but I've only seen it in movies. Today, I can finally see your real acting skills. I'm really excited."
Tangning gestured to Lin Qian, hoping that she would stop bothering her while she was reading her script. However, Lin Qian just kept on talking.
It wasn't easy for Tangning to finally start filming, but she managed to complete it on the first try. Even when she was up against the much weaker Xu Xin, she didn't make any mistakes.
"Great Tangning, keep it up."
After the scene was over, Tangning wanted to leave, but Xu Xin held onto her, "Ning Jie, can you teach me how to act?"
"I really want to be like you."
Seeing this, Lin Qian immediately approached Xu Xin and said, "Miss Xu, Ning Jie needs to prepare for the next match."
"In that case, I'll wait until Ning Jie is free."
However, one of the staff reminded Xu Xin, "Ning Jie is so busy, how could she have time to teach you how to act? It's best you don't add to her troubles."
To be honest, after filming so many films, Tangning had never seen an actress like Xu Xin. He was not jealous of her, nor was he trying to frame her. He was just pestering her to teach her how to act. If Xu Xin was trying to scheme against her, Tangning would have been able to deal with her easily. But, Xu Xin was simply asking for help. This made things difficult.
"Ning Jie, why don't I deal with Xu Xin later?" Lin Qian suggested.
"Don't go overboard. Don't hurt her self-esteem," Tangning reminded.
Dressed in a long black dress, Lin Qian looked quiet and ladylike.
Tangning was right. A person with this kind of taste couldn't have come from a normal family.
"Don't worry." After speaking, Lin Qian turned around and left. After Tangning returned to her next scene, she approached Xu Xin and said, "Miss Xu, Ning Jie may not have much free time over the next two days. Not only will she need to go down a well, she will also need to go rock climbing, so she may not have enough rest. So, if it's not too much of a hassle, I hope you can give her some time to rest and not disturb her. Let's have a chat after she finishes filming."
Xu Xin understood what Lin Qian meant, so she nodded her head, "OK. Actually, I'm going to be quite busy over the next two days."
"Then, it's settled."
Xu Xin appeared to be an easy person to talk to. She was petite and lively. But, after Lin Qian left, Xu Xin spat, "Stop pretending to be a gentleman. If you don't want to teach me, then say it. If you don't want to, then say it. Why beat around the bush?"
It didn't take long before Lin Qian returned to Tangning's side. At this time, Tangning was touching up her makeup, "Is everything settled?"
"Yes," Lin Qian nodded. "Don't worry, Ning Jie."
The next scene was a relatively dangerous scene. Xu Xin's character, played by Xu Xin, disobeyed her family's advice and boarded a deserted island to search for her sister. But, the people on the island stole her boat and robbed her of everything. In the end, they even tried to humiliate her. But, Tangning appeared and saved the child.
"Cut! Xu Xin, is that fear? You're comparing who has bigger eyes! You should learn from Tangning! "the director suddenly yelled." Do it again. "
"Cut … Xu Xin, your character's emotions aren't right."
"Cut …"
"You can't …"
Xu Xin was confused by the director's 7-8 consecutive scenes. She had no idea how to continue filming. But, the director continued to compare her to Tangning. Xu Xin couldn't accept it. She thought to herself, Tangning was simply refusing to help her and refusing to teach her.
"Forget it. Xu Xin, get some rest. Tangning, continue with the next scene."
The next scene was Tangning hiding in a well to avoid being captured by pirates. Of course, filming a scene like this was quite dangerous. So, the props had to be checked and reinforced in advance.
"Tangning, get some rest for half an hour. If there are any problems, speak up loudly," the director instructed.
Hearing the director's gentle words, Xu Xin was unconvinced.
But, a scary thought suddenly appeared in her mind. She saw with her own eyes the props master preparing a wire for Tangning …
