Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 159

After a quick lunch, Lu Jiang, as usual, lay down on the recliner and fell into a deep sleep.

Having a strong physique is a good thing. You don't need to worry about whether you get five hours of sleep a day, whether it's separate or together. As long as you get enough sleep, you'll have plenty of energy throughout the day.

So now Lu Jiang usually takes a nap for an hour or two during the day to leave more time at night so he can do his own thing in peace and enjoy his alone time without being disturbed.

However, his appearance naturally led Gao Yuanyuan and others, who were unaware of the situation, to mistakenly believe that he was working too hard and was so tired that he was taking a nap.

Some of the actresses felt sorry for her.

I envy those who can fall asleep instantly, and some even have excellent sleep quality.

Of course, some people also have ulterior motives.

Jia Jingwen pursed her lips, thinking to herself that this bad guy must have been exhausted from sleeping with some woman last night!
Who is it?
It shouldn't be the Emei Sect; they only arrived today.

Those are "Zhu Jiuzhen" and her group.

But it doesn't really look like it.

Although the two girls were very attached to Lu Jiang, acting like his number one fangirls, their expressions didn't lie; it was obvious at a glance that they and Lu Jiang were completely innocent.

Chen Zihan is the same; she's the most aloof of all the actresses when facing Lu Jiang.

On the contrary, Tao Hong, who played "Ji Xiaofu," and Gao Yuanyuan, who only arrived today, are the most suspicious.

The former and Lu Jiang didn't seem to talk much, but their eyes were somewhat unusual. The latter's eyes were even more complicated, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

But this doesn't mean that these two people have anything going on with Lu Jiang.
Shaking her head, Jia Jingwen thought she was being silly; why was she thinking about these things for no reason?

What business is it of mine who Lu Jiang sleeps with?
An hour or so later, Lu Jiang was fully recovered, and the afternoon's filming quickly began.

The afternoon's scenes mainly revolved around Zhang Wuji's cultivation of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

It's a one-man show, with a well-behaved, domesticated monkey as his partner.

After filming this scene, and finally the dog-beating scene before entering Red Plum Manor, the filming of the Red Plum Manor segment was completely completed.

Zhan Yinan, who plays Zhu Jiuzhen, has now finished filming.

The crew will organize a small farewell banquet tonight to bid a simple goodbye to Zhan Yinan and Tao Hong, who finished filming yesterday.

The solo scene was filmed quickly, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Jiang changed costumes again and started filming Zeng Aniu's scenes.

This was also his first time acting opposite the aloof and beautiful Chen Zihan.

That is, the two first met, eating and playing around in a dilapidated hut. Later, Wu Lie, He Taichong and others came to the door. A Zhu cried and asked Zeng A Niu if he would marry her. In the end, Zhang Wuji pretended to be stupid and used flying stones to scare away the crowd and save A Zhu's life.

This scene was quite challenging.

This is especially true for two actors who are not familiar with each other.

Lu Jiang and Chen Zihan had met four or five days ago, but they hadn't exchanged more than a few words. They thought it would take some time for them to get to know each other, but the filming process went very smoothly.

Let's not even talk about Lu Jiang, who's practically cheating.

Chen Zihan already has a solid foundation, having debuted for almost 7 years, and is further enhanced by Lu Jiang's expertise in eye acting.

Director Lai Shuiqing and onlookers Gao Yuanyuan and others commented: "Chen Zihan has it right from the start, her basic skills are amazing!"

Little did anyone know, Chen Zihan herself was also pleasantly surprised.

After filming the scene where she cries and asks Zeng Aniu, delivering a powerfully moving performance, Chen Zihan, who had been aloof for four or five days, revealed her true self to Lu Jiang for the first time: "Acting with you was really great!"

The Chongqing girl revealed her true nature, and Lu Jiang was a little surprised: "You're from Sichuan? I thought you were a refined lady from Jiangnan."

"I'm from Chongqing. Have you ever been to Chongqing?"

"I've been there once, for a signing event last summer. The fans were very enthusiastic, but the weather was just too hot."

A well-coordinated and evenly matched scene led the two to have a lively conversation.

That naturally brought them a significant step closer.

The two chatted while also discussing and planning for the next scene.

To Gao Yuanyuan and other onlookers, it seemed like they shared a deep mutual respect.

Liu Sitong, a hint of jealousy in her voice, asked curiously, "Could she possibly catch up with Lu Jiang?"

"How could that be? It's good to have common ground, but there are plenty of people who have common ground. Does Lu Jiang want them all?"

Lin Jing, who played "Ding Minjun," immediately retorted, and then nudged Gao Yuanyuan lightly, saying, "Yuanyuan, don't you think so?"

"Hmm~"

Gao Yuanyuan simply responded with a soft sound.

In truth, he sighed deeply.

Even those who share common interests may not be able to catch up, while I don't even have common interests.

Thinking back on it carefully, it seems like I was just blindly chasing after Lu Jiang for two years.

For two years, I couldn't find a single topic to talk about with him.

It's not that we didn't find anyone, but even if we did, we couldn't have a proper conversation.

How to chat?
When it comes to music, he is a recognized super genius, but he himself is tone-deaf. He always makes mistakes when he tries hard to practice his trumpet. He even went to Xiamen to show off to Lu Jiang. I imagine it must have been very difficult for him to hold back his laughter at that time.

In terms of literature, I have also tried writing lyrics, but they are not on the same level as his at all.

Looking back now, those handwritten letters written to him must have seemed pretentious and pathetic to him.
In terms of sports, I tried to start a conversation using football, which is what boys like the most, but it turned out that Lu Jiang doesn't like football at all.

Finally, it was time to act.

Hey.

His acting was absolutely terrible!

Given these circumstances, she is not as young or beautiful as Fan Binbin, nor as devoted to her.

For the past two years, he has lacked self-awareness and, like Zhou Zhiruo, has used various extreme methods to attract attention.

If Lu Jiang were just a bad man who only lusts after bodies and plays with emotions, that would be one thing, but he isn't. So, in this way, she is actually actively pushing him away.

No wonder I couldn't win him over after two years.
At this moment, the more Gao Yuanyuan thought about what she had done in the past, the more embarrassed she felt, to the point that her face was distorted and her teeth ached.

Looking up again, Lu Jiang and Chen Zihan were starting a new scene, working together smoothly and seamlessly, getting it right in one take.

She couldn't help but think that if she could act opposite Chen Zihan and have such good chemistry with Lu Jiang, Lu Jiang would probably take a second look at her, right?

The problem is, it's really difficult.

Sigh, never mind, I need to hurry up and memorize my lines. The most important thing is not to forget them when I have my first scene with Lu Jiang later.
Because Lu Jiang and Chen Zihan's first scene together went better than expected, the estimated filming time was shortened considerably.

Also, because of Gao Yuanyuan, some schedules were delayed.

Lai Shuiqing then decided not to finish work early that night, and to use the three hours saved to catch up on the progress.

It just so happens that the woods next to this dilapidated house are the filming location the crew has booked. Many scenes will be filmed here, and the Emei Sect members are also here.

So the scenes were quickly finalized, and after dinner, filming began on the scene where Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji formally recognize each other.

When Zhang Wuji cured Ding Minjun's poison, Zhou Zhiruo recognized Zhang Wuji through a handkerchief.

After Zhang Wuji recovered from the poison, he was forced to go to Bright Peak with the Emei Sect. While camping along the way, Zhou Zhiruo brought him food and asked Zhang Wuji, "Has the cold poison in your body been cured?"

The two recognized each other, and the feelings they had for each other since childhood were rekindled at this moment.
Everyone agreed on this, except for Gao Yuanyuan.

They filmed it already?

Isn't it tomorrow night?
How to do how to do?
Gao Yuanyuan panicked.

She quickly took out her script.

There weren't many lines in this scene, but in my haste, I forgot several!
To make matters worse, Lai Shuiqing arranged for her to have dinner with Lu Jiang to discuss the play beforehand.

Why should I eat at a time like this? I haven't even memorized the words!
But since the director said that Lu Jiang had also brought a boxed lunch, he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm.

As soon as Lu Jiang sat down, his first question was, "Have you memorized your lines?"

Gao Yuanyuan: "."

"Don't be nervous, it's okay if it's a NG. Lu Jiang won't eat you, right, Lu Jiang?"

The director then tried to smooth things over.

They won't eat me, but I'll be embarrassed!

Gao Yuanyuan felt bitter inside, but said aloud, "It's just that... I still can't quite control my emotions."

"Lu Jiang is right here. With him here, what are you afraid of?"

Lai Shuiqing walked away with a smile.

Gao Yuanyuan sighed inwardly again, but there was no other way at this point, so she could only confess: "I still don't know how to act."

"It's very simple. First, go through Zhou Zhiruo's psychological journey from the beginning. Stop when you get to the timeline of this scene. At that point, you'll know what kind of emotion she should be experiencing."

Lu Jiang spoke fluently, not because he truly understood, but because his "golden finger" had taught him.

After receiving the "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber" adaptation, there are various teaching outlines on how to accurately control the acting skills of the characters in the work.

What was taught to Gao Yuanyuan was one of the relatively simpler types, suitable for beginners. It could be read aloud and was concise, easy to understand.

So Lu Jiang ate and talked, which sounded to Gao Yuanyuan like a one-on-one advanced role-playing lesson. She learned a lot and admired Lu Jiang even more.

But she didn't know that Lu Jiang was thinking that the song "Heartbreak" was more suitable for Zhou Zhiruo than the Goddess Dragon.

The lyrics include the line, "A half-lit lamp at the ferry crossing, witnessing countless sunsets and moonrises."

It perfectly matches Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo's first encounter on the Han River.

The deeper the affection, the greater the hurt.

It also perfectly matches the love and hate between the two.

The rest of the lyrics don't quite fit, but they can be changed.

Most importantly, the melody is very suitable for tragic characters like Zhou Zhiruo who are heartbroken by love.

Lu Jiang couldn't help but think.

In the original 03 version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the theme song and the ending song are respectively Zhang Wuji's and Zhao Min's character songs, so should we add another song, "Heartbreak", for Zhou Zhiruo's character song?

Never mind, we'll talk about that later.

Shaking his head, Lu Jiang asked, "Do you understand now?"

"Yes, I understand, but I always feel like I can't express it. I always feel like I know what to do in my mind, but I can never satisfy the director on camera."

"That's the disadvantage of not having formal training. Just practice more, and you'll have the opportunity to learn systematically in the future. For now, just know what to do."

It's true that eye-techniques can make someone perform at a godlike level, but if the opponent doesn't even know what you're doing, then it's all for nothing.

Gao Yuanyuan wasn't too reassured after hearing this, and continued to emphasize, "You can scold me if I don't perform well."

"Why would I scold you? You're Zhou Zhiruo, and I'm Zhang Wuji. I'm too busy taking care of you to dote on you."

Lu Jiang finished his boxed lunch, stood up, and said, "Don't worry, with me here, I'll take you to new heights."

Gao Yuanyuan watched Lu Jiang's retreating figure, pursed her lips, and thought to herself, "You haven't shown me any affection."
After dinner, the crew began setting up the camp, and some actors also needed to put on makeup.

It didn't take long, but it was a very difficult time for Gao Yuanyuan.

Although Lu Jiang had already explained the scene to her and rehearsed the scene several times before filming began, she still just couldn't do it, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

So the closer it got to the start of filming, the more nervous she became, and she felt the urge to go to the bathroom several times.
Until Lai Shuiqing announced the verdict: "Alright, actors in position, all units prepare."

The long, drawn-out note heralded the start of filming.

Gao Yuanyuan held two rice bowls in both hands and took a deep breath.

Die or die!

"action!"

Lai Shuiqing was sentenced again.

Gao Yuanyuan walked from the side towards Lu Jiang and Chen Zihan.

Even at this point, her mind was still buzzing.

Actually, she wouldn't be this nervous under normal circumstances.

But now, after all, they are facing Lu Jiang.

The sense of social death has increased exponentially.

So much so that not long after the first shoot, after only a few steps, he almost dropped the porcelain bowl in his hand.

"Click, let's try again. Yuanyuan, be careful."

"I'm sorry, director."

Gao Yuanyuan cursed herself a thousand times in her heart.

Shame on you!
Calm down and continue in a bit.

This time, things are much better.

But even when she stood before "Zhang Wuji" and "Yin Li," her mind was still blank, and she couldn't remember what the first line was.

She felt so guilty that she dared not look Lu Jiang in the eye, but because she cared, she looked into Lu Jiang's eyes first.

The result was this eye contact.

Gao Yuanyuan felt a warm current welling up from the bottom of her heart, and a magical power soothed all the disharmonious emotions in her heart.

The mind stabilized at an unprecedented speed and, in an instant, entered its optimal state.

But it's not the character's state; it's more about Gao Yuanyuan herself.

Or rather, it's a state resulting from a mixture of Zhou Zhiruo's and Gao Yuanyuan's own experiences.

Gao Yuanyuan squatted down and handed the food to the two of them. Her gaze lingered on Lu Jiang, but her thoughts drifted back to two years ago.

At that time, Lu Jiang had just become famous and was very busy. During the casting for a new music video, he volunteered himself.

When he saw Lu Jiang, he didn't recognize him, as if his memory had completely disappeared.

He forgot, forgot that when he was a child on the sweat-soaked boat, he was just like him, orphaned, suffering from a cold poison, all alone and pitiful.

He forgot that I used to feed him, and that he once said, "Thank you, young lady, I will definitely repay you in the future."

At that time, I did not reveal my identity, so he did not recognize me for two years, and I could not get what I wanted.

At this moment, time seems to have turned back two years.

I don't want to miss another chance.

She then asked softly, with a mixture of probing and expectation, "Is the cold poison in your body cured?"

Lu Jiang looked up, and a tenderness instantly filled his eyes.

He recognized me!

Gao Yuanyuan smiled from the bottom of her heart, a sweet smile that conveyed a sense of relief.

But now was not the time to speak, so she could only leave him with a deep look of affection before getting up and leaving without lingering any longer.

"Okay, click, perfect!" Lai Shuiqing's voice rang out immediately.

He ignored everything else and focused on operating the monitor to watch it again.

Just as Gao Yuanyuan came in front of the two of them, he was still feeling helpless as to why Gao Yuanyuan had made another mistake.

Then, a glance between them, and the drama began!
Not only did they come, but they came at such a good time!
"Look at those eyes, wow, they've got a whole story to tell!"

More than two weeks into filming, he had never seen Gao Yuanyuan deliver such a delicate, precise, and captivating performance that seemed to overflow from the screen!
Sure enough, asking Lu Jiang to solve this hot potato was the right decision!

"Good, good, good, no need for further protection, one take and you're good!"

As soon as Lai Shuiqing finished speaking...

Gao Yuanyuan almost burst into tears.

One take!

What a beautiful sound!

I, Gao Yuanyuan, actually did it!
"Congratulations!"

Lu Jiang also gave her a thumbs up.

Gao Yuanyuan was even happier now.

I'm not only happy that I've found my rhythm.

More importantly, it left a good impression on Lu Jiang.

He didn't embarrass himself; in fact, he performed exceptionally well and earned his praise.

This feeling is absolutely wonderful!
If the circumstances allowed, she would have hugged Lu Jiang immediately!

"Okay, get ready and let's start the next round. Yuanyuan, keep it up!"

This was Lai Shuiqing's voice again; he wanted to press his advantage.

Gao Yuanyuan was also full of fighting spirit.

Soon, the two began their next match.

After they formally revealed their identities to each other, in the middle of the night, Zhang Wuji signaled Zhou Zhiruo to come over.

The two sat down facing each other.

Emotions welled up in her eyes.

However, this time, her own feelings took up a larger proportion.

Gao Yuanyuan: "I have so much to say to you, but the time and place are not right."

It's really not right.

Every time I wanted to be alone with Lu Jiang, he was always busy, either out and about or filming.

Last summer, he got injured. Gao Yuanyuan thought she finally had a chance to be alone, but then Lu Jiang secretly started filming again.

She was thinking of visiting him on set and taking care of him while she was there.

As if on purpose, Lu Jiang went out to perform at concerts again.
Zhang Wuji: "I know, I just want to tell you that you must keep my identity a secret."

This is also why Zhang Wuji summoned Zhou Zhiruo in the middle of the night; catching up was one aspect, but preserving his identity was even more important.

But Gao Yuanyuan, in her godlike state, interpreted it differently.

It's crucial to keep this a secret. Even if you're together, now is not the right time to go public.

Gao Yuanyuan then said very understandingly, "If I wanted to say it out loud, I would have said it long ago, don't worry."

"Then let's pretend we don't know each other for now."

"Alright, then let's pretend we don't know each other."

After finishing speaking, he had a thousand words in his heart, but at this moment, nothing was as important as the person in his eyes.

But the good times didn't last long. Just as mentioned earlier, "the time and place were not right." Suddenly, a "whoosh" sounded, and the Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao attacked.
"Click, great, nice, nice!"

Lai Shuiqing praised it once again.

He absolutely loves Lu Jiang's expressive eyes.

These kinds of people are born for this; they don't need any lines at all, they can act out a whole movie just by looking at their eyes.

Moreover, Lu Jiang's ability to lead a team is terrifyingly strong.

Look, even someone as wooden as Gao Yuanyuan has been moved, and she's acting so well.

"Great, fantastic!"

Lai Shuiqing clapped enthusiastically.

Gao Yuanyuan looked at Lu Jiang immediately.

Subconsciously, what she cared about most was Lu Jiang's attitude.

Lu Jiang was not disappointed. He smiled and casually picked a small red flower from the grass beside him: "Here's a little red flower for you. Keep up the good work!"

"Thank you~"

Gao Yuanyuan was overjoyed.

Chen Zihan, standing to the side, objected: "Hey, you damn Ah Niu, only she has it! Where's mine?"

Lu Jiang laughed heartily: "You're Zhu'er, right? I'll catch you a spider tomorrow and give it to you."

"I don't want a spider."

"Then I'll give you a piece of pig's head meat."

"You're the pighead!"

Chen Zihan suddenly lunged to strike, but Lu Jiang dodged around Zhou Zhiruo, pleading, "Yuanyuan, save me!"

Zhou Zhiruo watched the two playfully bickering and laughed happily.

I wasn't jealous; I was genuinely happy.

Because in her view, she could finally be like Chen Zihan and other excellent actors, and have common ground with Lu Jiang and get along normally!

Of course, despite the commotion, she held the little red flower tightly to her heart, afraid that it would be harmed by innocent bystanders.
The "reunion scene" was filmed faster than expected once again.

Lai Shuiqing saw that it was still early, but he didn't plan to linger.

They decided to film one last scene of the Emei disciples watching Wei Yixiao wander around before wrapping up the shoot and heading to the farewell party.

So, about ten minutes later, the crew wrapped up two hours early.

On the way back, the group from Emei rode in one car.

Lin Jing and Gao Yuanyuan were still sitting together. She nudged Gao Yuanyuan's shoulder and said, "A few days ago you were the NG princess, but today you performed exceptionally well in front of Lu Jiang. Tell me, do you have a crush on Lu Jiang? Are you nourished by the power of love?"

Gao Yuanyuan was startled.

I was so busy having fun that I didn't really think about that magical feeling.

Now I can't quite remember what it tasted like.

In short, it felt like the character and I were in perfect harmony, very comfortable and magical, flowing smoothly like mercury.

Is this the power of love?

I don't think so. At most, it's just unrequited love. Does unrequited love count as love? Obviously not.

This seems to be the result of accumulating to a certain extent.

Lu Jiang once said that with more practice and more reflection, the results will naturally come when you are in good form.

We also have to thank Lu Jiang for this.

Without his help in figuring out the character from the beginning and guiding me through the scenes during filming, I really wouldn't have been able to perform so well.

So if I had to say, it would be the power of friendship plus professional expertise.

"Why aren't you saying anything? You don't actually have a crush on him, do you?"

Lin Jing raised her voice, causing the other Emei members in the car to turn their heads.

Gao Yuanyuan frankly stated, "I admit I'm his fan, but if that counts as unrequited love, there are at least several million people in the world who have unrequited love for him, so I'm not an exception."

"Oh, looks like we're rivals in love!"

"How exciting! There are so many rivals in love!"

"You're so greedy, trying to enjoy it all by yourself! Can't you share it?"

"Wow, you're so lewd! Count me in!"

"."

The group of Emei disciples started making lewd jokes in the car, and even the experienced driver dared not utter a sound.
Back at the hotel, after removing their makeup, everyone went to the nearby bar to see off the actors who were wrapping up filming.

It was a simple meal, and there wasn't much of a farewell feeling, since none of them were particularly important figures.

However, there is no shortage of people who take advantage of the situation.

After drinking, Zhan Yinan, who plays Zhu Jiuzhen, boldly asked Lu Jiang, "Brother Lu, I'm leaving now, can I have a hug?"

The crowd cheered and jeering, but Jia Jingwen interrupted, "There has to be a reason, how can it work without one?"

"Of course!" Zhan Yinan looked at Lu Jiang with a wronged expression. "Brother Lu, I'm so sorry for deceiving you so badly. Can you give me a hug and forgive me?"

Those who weren't so quick-witted immediately thought they'd stumbled upon some juicy gossip, but everyone quickly realized that this was a ploy to exploit Zhu Jiuzhen's deception of Zhang Wuji.

The crowd then started to jeer, saying that it was unfair to ask for a reward while asking for forgiveness!

Lu Jiang didn't care. The girl looked a bit "malicious," but she was actually a very nice girl. She had taken good care of him these past few days, serving him tea and water very proactively, so a mere hug was no big deal.

He then stood up and opened his arms. Zhan Yinan happily covered her mouth, looking incredulous, and then gave him a careful yet excited hug.

This excited Liu Sitong: "Me too! I want an advance!"

Lu Jiang: "That won't work, my cousin won't agree."

"Cousin Wei Bi" Hao Baijie directly and loudly declared: "I agree, but count me in too!"

"I want me too!"

The private room quickly became noisy.

Most of the people here are young, so if you get along well, the atmosphere will naturally be great.

However, the people present were of different status and position, and unless they developed a deep friendship, they would still behave as usual after the meal.

Therefore, the "equality" at the dinner table is only temporary.

After the meal, they would still separate according to their social status.

As Wu's woman and the female lead, Jia Jingwen naturally ended up with Lu Jiang, the producer, the director, and Guo Feili.

The group returned to the hotel and met the new members, Granny Jin Hua, Xu Jinjiang (Golden Lion King), and Chen Xiuli (Xiao Zhao).

They are preparing for the upcoming Ice and Fire Island storyline.

The storyline of Ice and Fire Island will be filmed on an island in Zhoushan.

But that was just for the outdoor scenes by the sea; the actual scenes in the cave were filmed here now.

After filming the scenes featuring Zeng Aniu, Zhu'er, and the Emei Sect members tomorrow, the scenes in the cave on Icefire Island will be filmed interspersed throughout the shoot.

So today is just a pre-meeting to get to know each other and go over the script, etc.

When meeting everyone, Xu Jinjiang was wearing a baseball cap, exuding an artistic vibe. Lu Jiang's first impression of him was that he was tall, followed by his gentleness.

She is indeed very gentle, and her manner of speaking and tone are completely different from her on-screen image.

Chen Xiuli is Malaysian, but her ancestral home is in Fujian, and she immigrated there later.

Many people online say she's beautiful, but Lu Jiang doesn't quite see it.
However, considering that Chen Xiuli is his fan, Lu Jiang gave her a perfect score!
Chen Xiuli quickly asked, "I heard that you will be writing the theme song for our drama?"

"Yes, I've already written two poems, and I'm currently considering whether to write a third one."

"Really? Can we hear it beforehand?"

His eyes lit up instantly.

Her manager explained with a smile, "Xiuli is your biggest fan; she buys every album."

Chen Xiuli added, "I've been to all your concerts in Kuala Lumpur. Look, this is my concert ticket stub."

As Chen Xiuli spoke, she took out several well-preserved ticket stubs from her wallet.

And they are all the most expensive seats.

He's a true die-hard fan.

Lu Jiang then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll let you hear it when filming wraps up."

"Thank you!"

Chen Xiuli became excited and her eyebrows danced with joy. She clenched her two small hands into fists and swung them cutely in front of her chest, exuding a youthful charm.

Yan Qingyu, who plays the Purple-Robed Dragon King, is only 34 years old. She still has a charming appearance and is very experienced. She was the first actress to play the role in "The Empress Dowager" and "The Burning of the Yuanmingyuan".

After a brief introduction and a chat about the plot, everyone went home to rest.

Back in his room, Lu Jiang took out his work phone, which displayed a new text message.

It was Zhan Yinan, who had just gotten his contact information, and she greeted him simply.

He then took out his personal cell phone and saw three new text messages.

Jia Jingwen and Tao Hong's text messages had the same purpose: to seek development opportunities.

If you two send signals every other day, that's fine, but if you bump into each other, that's another story.

The third text message was from Gao Yuanyuan.

Tap it, and a green treasure chest pops up on your phone:
Gao Yuanyuan wants professional guidance from her host.

Oh?
So plain?
Looking at the text message again: "Lu Jiang, what should I do if my expressions don't quite match the plot when I'm just a background character like Abbess Miejue?"

What kind of problem is this?

But for the treasure chest.

Lu Jiang replied, "Just be natural. With your face like that, what need is there for expressions? We can adjust them later if there are any problems."

This text message exchange, which took at least four months to complete, lasted for more than an hour.

Lu Jiang eventually obtained a green treasure chest.

Meanwhile, Gao Yuanyuan put down her phone with satisfaction and carefully took out the little red flower that Lu Jiang had given her as a reward.

Today, I finally found common ground with Lu Jiang.

Hopefully, you can maintain this level!
She carefully tucked the flowers into her diary, then washed up and went to bed.

However, the next day, as soon as filming began.

Without Lu Jiang's support, her performance declined again.
