Chapter 675: Chapter 672 Guest Appearance (2)
Xia Siyu had just finished lunch, strolling over with a toothpick dangling from her mouth. Seeing Shang Feifei calmly changing her clothes, she felt slightly offended, “Did your crew disband?”
“What are you talking about!” Their director ca over, “Teacher Shang is here for a cao.”
Xia Siyu had just casually made that remark. Next door, the production crew was well-funded; even their boxed lunch orders were a notch above “Youth 2,” and their investnt attraction was quite impressive. Even if “Youth 2” flopped, the crew next door would not.
However, Shang Feifei had worked with Xia Siyu on a show before and lived together for 20 days filming a variety show. Knowing that she always spoke so bluntly without filters, Shang didn’t take it to heart.
Shang Feifei could be said to be as popular as Xia Siyu, a top star with significant fan following. With her joining, the crew of “Youth 2” was overjoyed.
Even though it was just a cao, a single scene, they didn’t want to waste it. When they had settled on her to make an appearance, the directors grabbed the scriptwriter to add a small scene on the spot. To maximize the impact of her special appearance, they even made sure she had interactions with Xia Siyu, and the male lead.
...
Xia Siyu was indifferent; she would just do as the script required, and there was no need for moral coercion. If Shang Feifei ca for a cao, just let her do a cao, that was all.
Today, Shang Feifei was to play a superior of Xia Siyu’s character. There wasn’t much screenti, even fewer lines—mainly relying on action, makeup, and emotion to perform. One of Xia Siyu’s advantages was that she didn’t sweat the small stuff and handled business professionally. She had worked with Shang Feifei in a serious movie, so she was naturally not intimidated by a simple cao.
For such a fleeting movie clip, there wasn’t a need for Shang Feifei to have much interplay with her; following the script’s rhythm was enough.
Despite their private discord, once the “Action!” call was made, their underlying professionalism was there. Xia Siyu shed her usual arrogant deanor, transforming into a sorry figure reprimanded by her superior, frantically busy and even covering for her bumbling colleagues.
Shang Feifei also deviated from her usual diplomatic persona, imperiously commanding and dictating, vividly portraying a talentless yet haughty superior.
At the point of being scolded the worst, the male lead appeared, leading to a negotiation with her and Shang Feifei.
The scene ended, and the three of them perford well. The director even laughed, “Teacher Shang, why don’t you join our cast? We actually have a female N role that we haven’t found soone to play yet.”
The two crews had been shooting together for many days and had beco as close as brothers. It just so happened that the director next door and the director of “Youth” were college classmates and good friends, so after wrapping up their own shoot, they ca over to observe. The director from next door joked, “Then you’ll have to send over the male and female leads to us!”
While they were talking, soone outside ca to deliver support gifts. The car drove up to Shang Feifei’s side, where staff efficiently unloaded items—it was coffee from a certain brand. With several hundred cups of coffee, one for each person, a staff mber comnted with a smile, “We’ve been relying on Teacher Shang these past few days; there hasn’t been a shortage of coffee and milk tea.”
Receiving support like this was a common occurrence, generally from fan clubs, relatives of the actors, or the actors themselves digging into their own pockets.
However, when the coffee was presented to Shang Feifei, there wasn’t a trace of joy on her cold, indifferent face.
