Wang Xiaocui interjected, "That’s right..."
"Cut!"
Yang Wen called for a halt, walking over with a stern face, "Jiang Shishi, your expression is off. Think about what kind of deanor three close friends should have. Calm down and ponder it carefully."
As a result, once, twice, there were NGs.
Yang Wen, infuriated, walked over directly and started scolding, "I’m trying to create a warm atmosphere of young girls, and your expression is so stiff. Can you act? Didn’t you have a background in acting before? How co you can’t even manage this? Do you need to teach you?"
Yang Wen’s words were ruthless and biting, and Jiang Shishi was scolded so harshly that she couldn’t even lift her head, her eyes reddened. After reprimanding her, Yang Wen returned to his original position to continue.
By the sixth NG, Yang Wen’s scolding got even harsher, and Jiang Shishi ran away crying. Her agent, Sister Chen, ca over to apologize to Yang Wen, "I’m sorry, Jiang Shishi is not in a good state today. I’ll go console her, and she’ll co back soon to continue shooting. Please don’t get angry, Director Yang."
Jiang Yu and Tong Yan looked at each other, unsure whether the filming could continue without an actor.
Yang Wen waved them off, "You two go rest for now."
Not long after the two of them sat down, Jiang Shishi returned, glaring fiercely at Tong Yan and Jiang Yu before walking over to Yang Wen to apologize, although her attitude was sowhat stiff.
Yang Wen noticed sothing but didn’t mind. People who wear their emotions on their sleeves don’t last long in the entertainnt industry.
Tong Yan and Jiang Yu found her odd and wondered if they had offended her sohow.
The filming continued, and Jiang Shishi gradually improved her acting. The number of NGs reduced, and they finished the scheduled scenes earlier than expected. Everyone present was quite pleased, wrapping up early to rest.
Tong Yan’s exquisite acting skills won over many people, as she went the whole day without a single NG, passing every scene in one go. This made the young Jiang Yu admire her even more, to the point of wanting to share a bed with her at night.
Sister Wang had given up hope on Jiang Yu and let her be.
Early the next morning, as Tong Yan was putting on her actor’s costu, sothing unpleasant happened—her outfit had several cuts in it, clearly vandalized, making it completely unwearable.
When Yang Wen learned of this, he summoned the prop manager, Li Jiang, and gave him a stern scolding, sweeping his gaze over everyone, "I have a pretty good idea who did this. If it happens again, you won’t stay in this crew!"
As Yang Wen spoke, his gaze paused on Jiang Shishi, whose expression remained calm, as if she hadn’t noticed a thing.
Tong Yan had a vague feeling it was Jiang Shishi. Among everyone in the crew, she got along well with all except for Jiang Shishi, who seed like an exception. She didn’t know why they were at odds, but without evidence, it was hard to say.
This morning’s scene was very important. Without it, the day’s schedule would be delayed, and filming couldn’t continue. Li Jiang was anxious since there was only one costu, and making another would take at least a day. He was silently cursing the perpetrator.
Tong Yan glanced at the blue floral-patterned blouse and had a sudden idea, "I have a solution."
In full view of everyone, she embroidered small flowers directly over the holes; each was different. Although embroidering without adding material would cause wrinkles, surprisingly, they matched well with the flowers, resembling floral textures. The entire outfit gained a touch of elegance and playfulness.
Yang Wen looked at the garnt and burst into laughter, "Not bad, not bad, Tong Yan. I didn’t expect you to have this skill. I’ve found a treasure; looks like I won’t have to worry anymore."
Tong Yan had a foreboding feeling that future days would be tough. Because in subsequent shoots, whenever Li Jiang ntioned what to do about torn clothes, Yang Wen would wave his hand, "Get Tong Yan to deal with it."
With tears of frustration, Tong Yan thought, "This is too much. I’m not a seamstress."
