♪I don’t want to know♪ ♪Just want you to go♪ ♪Remember what I vowed♪ ♪Nothing anymore♪ ♪I can’t recall your smile♪ ♪Don’t want to rely on you anymore♪ ♪Just go♪ ♪Leave now♪ =Dazzling Him= =Episode 8= She is not a tool for you to fight over. Cut. Long Yi. Why dodge that? That’s not right. Director. This wasn’t in the script. Long Yi. I like what Mr. Li just did with the scene. It’s very tense. Your reaction is obviously not right. Your dating his daughter is a legitimate act. But Mr. Li thinks it’s only cupboard love. But you’re confident. So no matter what he says, you have to show your spirit. You need to be you. Understood? But, Director, that’s not how the script showed. The script says the principal asks politely about their relationship. Knowing the truth, the principal is heartbroken. So how could he splash water? Young girl. You might be an artist’s manager, but you probably don’t know much about acting. This scene in the script is written too flatly. As a father, knowing that my daughter has been seeing the apprentice of my competitor behind my back. First of all, I would definitely be shocked. Then I would suspect it is cupboard love. So I would surely question him. And eventually, I would worry that our parents’ grudge would affect their relationship, leading my daughter to get hurt. As you know, Director, when actors are performing, their emotions have stages. The performance needs to build progressively to keep going. But… Okay. I got it. Long Yi. You need to learn to adapt. Look how thoroughly Mr. Li has analyzed his character. You’re not devoted enough. You need to get into character. Remember, you’re confident. Your confidence is strong. Hurry and get ready for another one. Okay, let’s go. Come, touch up the makeup. Coming. Hurry up. Coming. Who bought this coffee? Hello, Director. My flight was too late yesterday. I didn’t get a chance to greet you. Wang Xiran. Thank our leading lady. The whole crew’s coffee is on her. Okay. Thanks to the leading lady, free coffee. Thank you, thank you. Prepare the set. Once ready, let’s begin. Director. Is it okay for me to watch here? No problem, just sit here. Let me tell you about this scene. First, you stick to the script’s lines. You need to have a firm look and tone. Speak a bit faster. Get the situation heated a little. I will start questioning you if it is cupboard love. After I finish speaking, you can follow the script and say the long lines. Go from there. Got it? Great. Are you ready? Yes. Director, they are ready. Long Yi, mind your emotions. Okay, come on. Heartbeat Moments, scene 8, take 3. Scene 8, take 3. Ready, get set. Three, two, action. Fangming. Why did you deceive my daughter? The competition between you is unrelated to us. Do you swear that you truly love my daughter and it is not cupboard love? I… I swear. It’s true love, not cupboard love. Cut. Long Yi, what’s wrong? Didn’t you go over the scene? Continue acting. Long Yi, say the lines. Remember the script, right? Get a close-up of him later. Have him say the line alone. Okay, come on. Let’s do another take. Pick up from Mr. Long Yi’s last line. Ready, get set. Rolling. Three, two, one. Action. I swear. It’s true love, not cupboard love. Okay, that’s it. Zoom the camera in. After the close-up, break for food. Okay, got it. Come on. Zoom in. All departments, hurry to adjust. Okay, lights over there. Coming. Are you okay? I’m fine. Director. The scene I just filmed was okay, right? Your acting was great. But it’s just this Long Yi. If you make any change, he can’t react in time. He can’t keep up. Yes. That’s how young actors are these days. Unlike us veteran actors, before we start shooting, we always do our homework. We must consider all sorts of unexpected situations on set. He has never learned acting. Long Yi, it’s been a while. Bet you didn’t expect I’m the lead actress. You’re the female lead? I didn’t see that coming. Are you surprised to see me? Are you happy about it? Surprised, yes, quite surprised. When did you return? Long Yi. Food’s here. Let’s eat first. Okay, put it there. I’ll be right there. Okay. Miss Assistant. I brought some special food for Long Yi. You can have his portion. Don’t waste it. Thank you. Long Yi. Do you think Mr. Li is targeting you? I heard him bad-mouthing you to the director. I do lack experience. But he’s acting that way on purpose. That’s too much. I cannot let that happen again. You’ll see. I’ll stand up for you. Don’t you make a scene. We’re shooting a film. Not at home. Long Yi. How could you say that about me? I’m very behaved at home. Who’s there? I like your hairstyle. Better than before. Mr. Lin. You don’t know how preposterous Mr. Wang’s crew is. I was just being polite when I said we don’t care about the lead actress. But look at the mess now. They’ve started filming, and an amateur actress who’s never acted before parachuted onto the scene. What’s her name? Wang, Wang… Wang Xiran. I’ve never even heard of her. It seems she’s not even one of Mr. Wang’s employees. And Long Yi is supposed to boost her profile right off the bat. I don’t care. This play Heartbeat Moments was recommended by you. So, you must help me out here. Wang Xiran? Listen. Think of it this way. She’s not an artist in Mr. Wang’s company. But she can be parachuted into Mr. Wang’s big IP drama crew to be the lead actress. Something about her must be special. Partnering up with her is not a loss. But you should keep an eye on them. Look for the right moment to talk about potential collaborations and such. The key point is to see if we can create some buzz. Do you mean let this play spark romantic rumors? Long Yi has never pulled anything like that. He certainly won’t agree to it. Is that so? The filming has just begun. Don’t overthink it. Let me show you something. (Fashion Banana Cover Shoot Project) Fashion Banana Cover Shoot. That’s a huge one. Is this for Long Yi? That’s right. And let me tell you, the special photographer this time is Alexander. You know him, right? So, for this time’s cover shoot, your team must cooperate fully. Rest assured. Long Yi’s quality and expression in photoshoots are excellent. They will be satisfied. But there’s a small issue. The cover is to be shot abroad this time. And the photographer Alexander has a tight schedule. You all need to wrap up five days earlier to make it for this photoshoot. Wrapping up five days earlier? That might be a bit difficult. When I negotiated with Mr. Wang, it was not easy to carve out these fifteen days. And now another five days? Regarding the schedule, just figure out a way. What? Would you pass up a great opportunity with Fashion Banana? Of course not. Oh right. About that matter with Wang Xiran, seriously, keep a close eye on it. Here. Have your team devise a plan and let me see. Okay. I can prepare the plan for you, but if Long Yi doesn’t agree, we can’t force him to execute it. I didn’t see it. Thank you. Mister. I lack experience. I hope you can guide me through my acting. Young lady. You know your manners. Lacking experience is fine. The main thing is when you act, don’t be nervous. However, today’s scene is my major scene. Just watch my performance and react accordingly. Okay. Are the actors ready? If yes, let’s begin. Okay. Alright. Departments, get ready. Take your positions. Come on. Rolling. Scene 3, take 1. Come, get ready. Three, two, action. Back then, I was driven by emotions. I even doubted you. I was wrong. We will be happy. Cut. Xiran, put more emotion into it. You should be moved by that. Okay. Let’s try again. Okay, let’s go. All crew, get ready. Come, scene 3, take 2. Ready. Action. I was wrong. We will be happy.
