Their eyes met under the drifting peach blossoms—
"Cut! Cut! Cut!" Director Zhang grieved, "The atmosphere was so good, but in the end—!"
Director Zhang threw the script on the ground and shouted, "Throw these two people out and have them executed!"
Du Yu Shu, "......" She inexplicably felt a sense of shame.
Ye Jing An, ".... ." Really shameful.
Director Zhang angrily grieved. The atmosphere between the two was great but when their eyes met—
Ruined.
The whole shot was ruined.
Those two people are too rigid, even if it is only for one second, the entire scene is ruined!
Seeing Director Zhang's dark face, Assistant Director Li patted his shoulder, "Still not in the last stages of editing"
Director Zhang's face became more gloomy.
"Get lost!" Director Zhang roared, "Go look at the script!"
Du Yu Shu and Ye Jing An came down from the set, their faces don't look good. When they were walking away together, for once, they didn't start to argue.
The two people are not in a good mood, it could be shown in their body language. Du Yu Shu was more cold, while Ye Jing An seems more alienated.
Because of the director's anger, the studio was deadly silent for a couple of minutes.
Wang Jie quickly pulled Du Yu Shu away and handed her a cup of hot water as she put a jacket on top of her. She wanted to say some words of comfort but in the end, no words could come out. She could only embrace Du Yu Shu and patted her shoulders a couple of times.
Du Yu Shu looks at her lazily and spits out a word, "Painful."
Wang Jie saw that she spoke and sighed in relief. She laughed, "She didn't hurt you, why did you hurt her?"
Du Yu Shu quietly glanced at her for a few minutes and suddenly said, "Wang Jie, I need post-editing for it to be quality right?"
Wang Jie thought that this little ancestor should not waste time on this insignificant problem, "What about post-editing? What movie doesn't do post-editing? You don't look down on post-editing do you? If there is no post-editing, do you think the movie will be released?"
Seeing that Du Yu Shu didn't speak, Wang Jie patted her shoulder and continued, "What is wrong with post-editing? If you two...."
"I'm going to talk to Ye Jing An." Du Yu Shu suddenly said after a few moments of silence as she stood up, the jacket on her shoulder draped down.
She said it in a gentle tone like she was talking about the weather. Scared, Wang Jie quickly pulled her to sit down.
"Little ancestor, " Wang Jie bitterly said, "Don't add on to our problems alright? You're still going to look for Ye Jing An to fight? We are only gentle and weak girls!"
Du Yu Shu restrained herself from rolling her eyes. She felt helpless inside. Is her relationship with Ye Jing An that bad? When she said she was going to look for Ye Jing An to talk, they would think that she is looking for him to start something.
It's a little melancholic.
Du Yu Shu's mood went even lower.
"I'm just going to talk to him, not settle personal scores, " Du Yu Shu's face is void of any expressions. She starts to feel some pain in her stomach as well as a little throbbing in her head, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing Wang Jie eyeing her suspiciously, Du Yu Shu added, "I promise this time I am only going to talk to him about work, not quarrel."
Wang Jie looked at her, touched, "Baby, you've grown up. I'm really touched."
Du Yu Shu looked at her blankly.
"Baby, you look so handsome right now, I want to marry you!"
Du Yu Shu looks at her indifferently, "Too ugly, I refuse."
Wang Jie, ".... ."
Du Yu Shu stood up and went over to Ye Jing An. Wei Meng, seeing the enemy drawing near, look over helplessly at Wang Jie: What happened now?!
Wang Jie ignored him.
Du Yu Shu asked monotonously, "Can we talk?"
Wei Meng looks at her, horrified. He pinched his arm, painful.
Ye Jing An's lips curved, he said mockingly, "Sure."
Du Yu Shu looks at him with a poker face.
The actor who was resting quietly behind them looked curious and would look over from time to time. Du Yu Shu said coldly, "As an actor, you should show some professionalism."
Ye Jing An chuckled, his eyes reveal some ridicule, "Are you saying I don't have any professionalism?"
Wang Jie caught Du Yu Shu's hand, don't do anything rash, baby!
Du Yu Shu was unexpectedly calm, his voice is still cold, "I didn't say that."
"Oh?" Ye Jing An sneered, "Then what is Leading Actress Du's meaning?"
Du Yu Shu took a deep breath, reminding herself that now is not the time to fight. Her stomach pain got worse as her face got colder, "Do not bring your personal vendetta on set!"
Ye Jing An smiled, "Oh?"
He leaned towards Du Yu Shu. Seeing Ye Jing An's face suddenly enlarging in front of her, she wanted to retreat but held her ground.
"Leading Actress Du, do you think you can do it?"
Ye Jing An faintly smiled, his breath fanned her face. Du Yu Shu felt a little itch. His eyes are very clear, carrying the trace of ridicule, but Du Yu Shu felt that deep in his eyes, she saw a stir of emotions.
"Of course, " Du Yu Shu heard herself say, calmly and seriously.
"Then I also can, " Ye Jing An opened the space between the two of them and turned away. He said indifferently, "Not bringing your personal prejudice to work, that is an actor's basic professionalism. I'm really happy that Leading Actress Du still remembers this point."
Ye Jing An's words carry a hint of ridicule but Du Yu Shu didn't respond.
Wang Jie took Du Yu Shu's hand. After her artist's confrontation with Ye Jing An, she couldn't calm herself down. Seeing her weak state, Wang Jie asked worriedly, "Baby, are you all right?"
"I'm fine, " Du Yu Shu lowered her eyes and weakly said, "I just have some stomach pain, do you have some hot water?"
"Yes!" Wang Jie helps Du Yu Shu to sit down and turn to get hot water.
That flash of emotion in Ye Jing An's eyes, was it loss?
Du Yu Shu thought, in the end, what did he lose?
Wang Jie handed a cup of water to Du Yu Shu. Seeing her in a trance, she asked distressed, "Baby, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, " Du Yu Shu recovered and took the cup. She smiles, "I feel unwell from the stomach pains."
Wang Jie touched Du Yu Shu's forehead and turn to say something to Assistant Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai nodded and left the set.
Sure enough, I was just imagining things, Du Yu Shu drank a mouthful of water, the corners of her lips curved revealing a touch of ridicule.
That type of person, how can he feel loss?
"Go talk to Director Zhang, " Ye Jing An said to Wei Meng, "Du Yu Shu and I will try one more time. If this time we are not successful, he can turn us into soup."
Wei Meng stared blankly at Ye Jing An before going to look for Director Zhang.
Director Zhang coldly snorted and showered a series of curses at Ye Jing An. Wei Meng could only bitterly accept these attacks and doesn't dare to try to speak up for his artist.
Zhang Rui, revered as Director Zhang, is a famous director, known for his harshness, being a perfectionist Virgo, having a poisonous tongue and being nitpicky as well as making artists cry. But since his films always received all around praise, many large investors chase to invest in his movies. It can be said that his name is very big in the entertainment circle.
Having said what he needed, Director Zhang agreed to give them another chance. For a perfectionist Virgo, seeing that their own movie has its flaw would certainly put them in a bad mood.
Wei Meng reported back to Ye Jing An and subtly mentioned being scolded miserably by Director Zhang. Ye Jing An didn't comment, causing Wei Meng to feel bitter.
Ye Jing An hummed, if I don't have you go, don't tell me you want Du Yu Shu to get scolded instead?
His eyes revealed some scorn as he coldly smiles.
Now they are filming the scene of the flower shop owner and the murderer. Director Zhang said that after this scene, they will shoot him and Du Yu Shu's scene one more time. Ye Jing An sighed and continue looking over his script.
This is a set of military order, don't refrain from self-protection.
On the other side, after receiving Wang Jie's reply, the team for《Vertical and Horizontal Alliance》had a major headache. The director rubbed his throat, "What did you say? Du Yu Shu accepted the invitation?"
"Yes, " The man beside him said, "At nine o'clock this morning, we received a message from Wang Jie, the agent of Du Yu Shu, that Du Yu Shu agreed to participate in the shooting of the reality show."
"What a joke!" The director did not look happy at all, he exclaimed, "Didn't Ye Jing An agree to join the cast yesterday?"
"Yes." The man said indifferently.
"But these two people will fight once they see each other!" The director grieved, "When that happens the reality show will become a bitch fight right?"
The man, "......"
"Is there any solution?" The director said weakly.
"Are you going to reject Du Yu Shu or Ye Jing An?" That man asks, "Why should we invite those two people at the same time?"
The director expressionlessly said, "For a million of years, they have not done any variety shows, only a few occasions. This program was luckily one of them, who would've thought..."
The man patted the director's shoulder and said sincerely, "This program is really lucky."
Director, "... QAQ!"
Ye Jing An and Du Yu Shu had been in disagreements for millions of years, it is said that there had been many catfights between the two of them on Director Zhang's set. But this is a reality show, there will be a real catfight.... .
Heartache QAQ
