I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan Chapter 718 495: Midway2

The feeling was too real, too consuming.

"Do you want to take a break?"

"No, let's try again."

After Cao Yi agreed, they shot the scene once more.

However, the result was the sa.

"I'm sorry, Director! I'll try again!"

"Don't worry about it. We won't shoot this scene today. Let's move on to the others."

"Okay..."

"You go and rest for a while."

"Yes. Sorry for troubling everyone."

She kept pondering why she had acted so out of character.

Why could a single look from Xia Liang instantly imrse her in the role, so deeply that she couldn't pull herself out? His acting was simply incredible, too powerful!

While Yi Fei was lost in thought, Xia Liang finished shooting another scene.

He walked over to check on her.

"Don't laugh when I say this, but every ti I act opposite you, I feel like I actually beco the character, as if you really are my fiancé... and then I just freeze up."

"Isn't that a good thing? It ans you're really in character! Just keep acting, then, shouldn't you?" Xia Liang said with a smile.

"But it feels so strange..."

"Trust . If you just follow through with that feeling, I guarantee it will be perfect."

Xia Liang said this because he felt Yi Fei's performance during their scene had actually been very good. For so unknown reason, she had just frozen instead of continuing to act.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Then I'll give it another try."

Thinking it over, Yi Fei felt that Xia Liang had a point. She found the director and told him she was fine and ready to continue.

"Are you sure you're okay now?" Cao Yi asked, puzzled.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Alright then, let's shoot that scene again! Crew, get it set up."

Since the next few scenes were all in the sa location, they could switch to another one just by changing a jacket, so making a change like this was simple.

"Is everyone ready? Then... action!"

At the director's command, Xia Liang once again walked out from the back of the set.

He looked at Yi Fei with deep affection.

Yi Fei felt her heart stir once more, but this ti she didn't freeze. Instead, she held on to that feeling as Xia Liang had suggested and continued with the scene.

Consequently, Yi Fei displayed a calmness tinged with surprise and nervousness—it was completely natural.

From there, everything went smoothly.

"OK! One take! That was great!"

Led by Xia Liang, Yi Fei's acting beca remarkably natural, and they completed the take without a hitch. The two of them seed less like they were acting and more like they had truly beco Zhang Xian and Liu Yin from the movie. You couldn't tell it was a performance at all.

"Although it's a bit different from what I originally envisioned, the effect is excellent," Cao Yi said, smiling. "Yi Fei, when did your acting beco so natural? That's so major improvent!"

"I don't know either. It's just that when I do a scene with Xia Liang, I feel like I can get into character instantly... Maybe I'm influenced by him."

"Haha, I didn't realize you had this talent, Xia Liang!" Cao Yi laughed. "It's one thing for your own acting to be natural, but you can actually influence others to beco natural as well."

In truth, Yi Fei's acting was usually just acceptable, not exceptionally good. But today, her performance had been outstanding. Even she had to admit it was thanks to Xia Liang. His eyes seed to speak, touching her heart so deeply that she couldn't help but involuntarily slip into the role of Liu Yin.

"Let's call it a day. It's getting late... you should all go get dinner," Cao Yi announced.

"Alright, Director, we'll be leaving then!"

"Sure, go on. Get so rest. Good work today. We'll continue tomorrow."

After changing her clothes and removing her makeup, Yi Fei ran into Xia Liang at the studio exit.

"Yi Fei, are you heading to dinner too?" Xia Liang greeted her with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm off to eat," Yi Fei replied with a faint smile. "I'm a bit hungry after acting for so long."

"Are you by yourself?"

"Mm."

"Where's Xiao Liu?" Xia Liang asked, referring to Yi Fei's assistant.

"He's sick today, so he didn't co in. I've been on my own all day."

"Oh, right, I haven't seen him around. In that case, let's eat together. It's sad to eat alone, isn't it? You might go to the restroom only to co back and find the server has cleared away your food."

Xia Liang's words made Yi Fei laugh, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

Yi Fei usually didn't talk much to people she wasn't familiar with, let alone laugh so openly. For so reason, however, she found herself talking a lot with Xia Liang today and even laughing without a care for her image.

"You do have a point."

As they were talking and laughing, Yi Fei inadvertently t Xia Liang's gaze. The mont she saw his eyes, she was reminded of his intense stare while they were filming.

Suddenly, Yi Fei's heart began to race.

My heart is beating so fast... Could it be that I like him? No, no, no, what am I thinking! That was just acting... I think I got too invested in the role!

Noticing the change in her expression, Xia Liang asked with concern, "Yi Fei, what's wrong?"

Yi Fei hurriedly shook her head. "I'm fine, I'm fine..."

Although her reaction was quite strange, Xia Liang didn't press the matter. Girls could have peculiar thoughts sotis.

"Well, let's go eat first. We can talk later."

Since it was already late, they didn't go far, choosing a restaurant right there on the film studio grounds.

When Yi Fei and Xia Liang entered the restaurant, they caused no commotion at all. It was quite late, so most people still around were residents of the studio complex. Both the residents and the restaurant staff were used to seeing stars co and go for filming, so they were no longer fazed by celebrities. Seeing Yi Fei, the staff only gave her a passing glance before returning to their work.

So people, however, were curious about the strikingly handso Xia Liang. They had never seen him before, especially not with Yi Fei.

"Who's that guy with Yi Fei?" one waitress asked a colleague.

"I don't know! Never seen him before! Could he be her boyfriend?"

"No way. They wouldn't be so open about it if he were."

"True. Since they're at the studio this late, they must be actors filming together."

"I've never seen him before! He must be a newcor!"

"Wow, a newcor gets to work with the goddess Yi Fei? He's so lucky!"

"Lucky? I don't know about that. Look how handso he is! I think Yi Fei is the lucky one. Acting with a hottie like that must be a thrill."

"Look at you, fangirling."

Just then, Xia Liang and Yi Fei finished looking at the nu.

"Waiter!" Xia Liang called out with a wave of his hand.

The waitress who had just called him handso practically flew to their table, getting there before any of her colleagues could.

"Hello! What can I get for you?" she asked coquettishly.

Up close, Xia Liang was even more handso. The waitress almost started to drool.

"I'll have an order of wontons. What about you, Yi Fei?"

"Just a vegetable salad for is fine."

"You're eating so little? Aren't you hungry?"

"I have to. I need to maintain my figure," Yi Fei said, her tone tinged with resignation.

Indeed, beyond natural gifts, beauty requires constant effort. This didn't refer to plastic surgery, of course. To maintain their figures, most female actresses skipped dinner and never touched delicious desserts. It was a major sacrifice, considering that the desire for food is one of humanity's most basic instincts. The things these actresses gave up for their careers were significant.

"I sympathize with you. Alright, let's just order these then."

Since it was already quite late, eating too much wasn't a good idea, so they both ordered sothing simple.
