Rebirth: I made my fortune by navigating the entertainment industry

Chapter 20 What is this supposed to be?

Seeing Yan Qingning's nervous questioning.

Shen Luo also sighed softly.

He knew in his heart that Yan Qingning had already done her best, and no matter how much he tried to scare her, that would probably be the end of it.

"Hmm... then come to my room tonight, I'll teach you privately. We still need to continue filming, so don't delay the filming schedule."

As soon as these words came out.

Yan Qingning was completely dumbfounded.

Even the assistant director next to him was stunned.

So direct?!
Yan Qingning's face flushed bright red instantly, and she couldn't even lift her head. "Ah... this, this isn't right, is it?"

"What do you mean 'good' or 'bad'? You can't expect me to keep wasting my time teaching you, can you?" Shen Luo said irritably.

Clearly, Shen Luo was unaware that her words had a slight "flaw".

Generally speaking, it's easy for a director to say this to an actor, let alone a male director saying it to a female actor...

Although Yan Qingning had never worked on a film set before, she could understand the "subtext" of these words because Wu Qian had Zeng Jia specifically talk to them, the new female actors, about the unspoken rules on set.

However, this time it was Shen Luo who told her.

Yan Qingning always felt that Shen Luo didn't mean "that kind of thing".

Besides... if it really means "that kind of thing," well, it's not, it's not that it's not acceptable.

"Alright, go back to the hotel and rest for a bit. You worked very hard today." Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief and placed his hand on Yan Qingning's head. "Anyway, your performance at noon and in the afternoon was quite good."

"Really!?"

"Mm." Shen Luo smiled and nodded after a long time. "Alright, I'll go call your sister Qian. She's practically fast asleep at the hotel; it's time to get her involved!"

……

After returning to the hotel, Yan Qingning immediately took a shower, letting the cold water wash over her fair and tender skin, her mind replaying Shen Luo's last words to her.

Hmm... what does that mean?

Are you going to teach me acting in a serious manner?

He still pretended to teach me acting, but actually he was just...

Ugh! I don't understand!

Despite not understanding it, Yan Qingning still sat in front of the vanity mirror after her shower and began to apply her makeup beautifully…

……

The other side.

Wu Qian has been called back to film a movie.

Shen Luo had no intention of making things easy for her. After all, she was a veteran in the entertainment industry. He didn't care if she was scolded or spanked.

Oh, you definitely can't spank here.

Their relationship is still a secret.

The wire work continued, but perhaps because the rest period was too long, my tense nerves relaxed and my mind became less sharp, so I didn't pass the first time.

After being scolded by Shen Luo, he immediately got into the zone.

Then came the second, third, and fourth games…

There were a few takes during the process, but they were all due to the male lead, Li Yimiao, for which Shen Luo scolded him even more harshly.

The sixth scene wasn't filmed because it got dark and it was time to eat.

Shen Luo treats everyone equally, showing no favoritism. Even a star like Wu Qian eats boxed lunches, though the meal allowance is definitely higher than that of the other actors.

Extras get 15 yuan, supporting actors get 30 yuan.

She ate fifty yuan's worth of food, and Shen Luo also ate fifty yuan's worth of food.

The two ate together in the director's studio, sharing four boxed lunches... because they were truly starving, and Shen Luo was the same, not caring at all whether the boxed lunches were tasty or not.

The two of them sat on the ground, their lunchboxes placed on small stools, and began to wolf down their food. When Wu Qian reached her second lunchbox, she simply couldn't eat anymore. So, she naturally gave half of her lunch to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo accepted everything without question.

Seeing that Shen Luo's mouth was covered in rice grains, Wu Qian took out a tissue to wipe it for him, then used the tissue to wipe her own mouth, and then took out her phone.

"Shen Luo, news about our TV series is still trending on the hot search list."

"Hmm?" Shen Luo's mouth was full, and he said indistinctly, "Read it to me."

"This time, it was the haters who brought down our TV series. They said it was something I used to make money, or that I was a kept man. They said all sorts of things."

"Then what they said was quite accurate." Shen Luo finally swallowed the food in her mouth and replied softly.

No!
Gu Jian Qi Tan was originally a production by Jaywalk Studio designed to rake in huge profits. This kind of ancient costume fantasy drama is arguably the easiest to make money from among all film and television dramas.

They can make a fortune just by releasing some merchandise.

There are also rumors that Shen Luo is Wu Qian's kept man.

There's nothing wrong with that.

"Should we let Zeng Jia respond?"

"No need. We can just prove them wrong with the ratings and the popularity of the TV series in the end."

"Yeah, that's right!"

Wu Qian had just watched the monitor playback while the meals were being served. Putting everything else aside, just looking at the few finished shots from today, you could tell that Shen Luo had really put his heart into it.

Not to mention that with the addition of special effects, it will only get better.

Besides, Wu Qian worked herself to the bone filming, so how could the filming be bad?!
After Shen Luo finished eating, Wu Qian naturally got up and started tidying up the lunchbox. She then took out a thermos from her small bag and said, "This is the Chinese medicine I've been drinking. It's good for warming the mind and replenishing qi. It also contains some pangdahai (a type of herbal medicine). Drink it to soothe your throat."

"Okay." Shen Luo nodded. "Put it on the table. Go touch up your makeup first, and then try shooting a few night scenes tonight. I'll see how it goes."

"Okay, okay." Wu Qian agreed, but her little hands kept rubbing inside her bag, and soon she pulled out a few more sanitary napkins.

Shen Luo's eyelids twitched a few times as she looked at him.

"You're on your period???"

"Huh?" Wu Qian was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head with a smile, "You're overthinking it. If you put this in your shoes as an insole, your feet won't get blisters so easily."

"Oh."

"Oh what? Hurry up and take off your shoes, I'll put some insoles on them for you."

Shen Luo didn't stand on ceremony with her.

Wu Qian didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, this little rascal was her man, and she had given him her body. As a woman, she should serve him.

……

Half an hour later.

Filming begins at night.

Perhaps due to a long day, the actors were indeed not in good condition, and even the cameramen following them were constantly yawning...

Without any choice.

Shen Luo had no choice but to tell them to stop working.

He also reminded Chen Gaoguang, Li Yimiao, and the others to go back and rest early, not to go out and play, and to conserve their energy for filming tomorrow!
“Go back to my room to sleep when no one’s around tonight. Oh right, there’s also Qing Ning tonight. I’ll have her come over and teach her some acting skills. Don’t let that slip.”

When it's time to wrap up work.

Shen Luo whispered something to Wu Qian.

Wu Qian was a little confused when she heard this.

It wasn't that Shen Luo asked her to sleep in his room.

This is normal. She never intended to stay in her own room. Even if Shen Luo didn't tell her, she would still sneak into Shen Luo's room to sleep.

But what the hell is Yan Qingning all about?
