This director is so innocent.

Chapter 19: Daily Life

"We're filming a movie! What else could we be doing!"

Su Jin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Are you free? I'm back in Beijing, let's grab a bite to eat!"

"Sure! Where should we eat?"

"A new Hunan restaurant just opened in Chaoyang District, it looks pretty good. Let's go there! I'll send you the address later."

OK.

Just after the call ended, Luo Jin, unable to contain his curiosity, chuckled and asked, "Whose call was that? Why were you laughing so happily?"

Su Jin glanced at the text message she had just received and replied without looking up, "Was I laughing?"

"What do you mean, 'not'? Your smile is practically reaching the back of your head."

"You must have bad eyesight, I wasn't laughing just now."

"Hehe... My eyes grew from eating fish eyes, my vision is 5.1."

"Then you must have eaten a blind fish's eye."

"Get lost..."

After a while, Luo Jin couldn't contain his curiosity and asked again, "Seriously, which girl called you? I've never seen you laugh so happily before."

Su Jin leaned back in her chair, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "Couldn't it be a boy?"

"No way! You actually like the Rabbit God? Then I'd better protect myself." Luo Jin took a step back, pretending to be very disgusted.

"Get lost," Su Jin said irritably.

Luo Jin didn't mind and said shamelessly, "Tell me! You know I'm a very curious person. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep at night."

"Then you won't be able to sleep! It would be best if you never could sleep." Su Jin said and left.

Who told this bastard to say he likes the Rabbit God?

That's an insult to him!

"Big brother, tell me!" Luo Jin called out from behind.

Su Jin pretended not to hear and went to the surveillance camera.

Upon closer inspection, one could see Da Gangzi holding a storyboard and explaining the filming details to cameraman Yang Yandi.

Yang Yandi is a veteran cinematographer who worked with Da Gangzi on many films.

She can also play the guzheng. When filming first started, there was a scene in a teahouse where a guzheng was placed.

She casually played a few notes, and they actually looked quite professional and quite enjoyable. It seems that everyone in this film crew is quite remarkable.

A moment later, the two finished their discussion, and Yang Yandi left with the storyboard, saying goodbye to Su Jin as she went.

"Master Bao".

Su Jin greeted Da Gangzi with a smile.

Da Gangzi is very influential in Beijing's social circles. Before the rise of the two Wangs, they all had to call him Master Bao.

Feng Kuzi also calls him Master Bao.

Everyone can see that Feng Xiaogang is enjoying immense success now.

But in the beginning, Feng Kuzi also humbled himself and started out as a servant. He could call out "Master" more smoothly than anyone else.

Because among the Beijing elites, Feng Xiaogang came from the lowest social class; most of the people in his circle were children of high-ranking officials from military compounds.

"What are you doing here?" Da Gangzi asked without looking up.

"It's nothing much, just a few script issues that I need your guidance on," Su Jin said, taking out the scripts.

"Stop talking nonsense, get to the point." Da Gangzi knew what kind of person Su Jin was when they first met.

That's because they don't do things without a reason, and they're quite cunning.

When Su Jin came to our door with the script for "Struggle", she immediately asked for both the male lead and a third male lead role.

He certainly disagreed. Why should a fresh graduate be cast as the lead? Does he even have the talent?

Then Su Jin showed him on the spot what it means to turn your back on someone and leave immediately after putting away the script.

He also said that the copyright had been registered and that he had many fans.

The meaning is quite clear: it's a warning against plagiarism, otherwise it will become public knowledge.

He really didn't want to spoil Su Jin.

However, the script for "Struggle" does have its merits. If it is well-made, even if it doesn't become a hit, at least the viewership ratings will be above average.

Of course, the reason he could tolerate it was because the TV series he had filmed in the past two years had very poor ratings, and his reputation was almost ruined.

Then Su Jin showed him what it meant to have a face thicker than a city wall.

She continued to discuss cooperation with him with a smile, showing none of the previous tension, and even demonstrated her acting skills to him.

His acting skills are good; at least he has no problem playing the role of Lu Tao.

Then they said that in order to avoid them taking risks, they were willing to invest 70% or 80%.

When he saw this good opportunity, he was about to agree, but his wife stopped him again.

After that, my wife and Su Jin argued over their investment shares, and finally decided that each would take 50%.

Afterwards, he asked his wife why she didn't let Su Jin, that big fool, bear the main risk.

His wife first scolded him, then explained that although she didn't know why Su Jin was willing to take the main risks, she could still gamble on six or seven million.

"I'd like to ask for the night off," Su Jin said with a grin.

There are night shoots, but he's not in them.

However, Da Gangzi dislikes actors leaving the crew without permission, and insists that they stay on set even when they have no scenes to film.

Of course, the outline wasn't entirely devoid of human compassion.

If night scenes are filmed too late, actors who are not filming can go back to their hotels to rest earlier.

"What are you going to do with your leave?"

"A friend of mine has returned to Beijing and wants to get together with me."

"A friend? This friend is no ordinary person! Tell me! Is she a young girl?"

"Master Bao, do you know what I admire most about you? You're so smart, you guessed it right away." Su Jin gave a thumbs up, her face full of admiration.

Da Gangzi laughed heartily. Everyone likes to hear nice things, and he was no exception.

"Stop being silly, go early and come back early, and don't get drunk, you have a show tomorrow."

"OK." Su Jinyan said seriously, "Master Bao, I want to clarify that my relationship with that friend is just a normal friendship."

Da Gangzi scoffed, not believing it at all.

We might be in a normal relationship now, but what about in the future?

"Alright, go play somewhere else, I need to get to work."

"Alright, Bao Ye, you're busy."

Having achieved her goal, Su Jin promptly left.

We then filmed three more scenes, which lasted until after six o'clock.

After the crew had dinner, Su Jin got her hair styled by the makeup artist and then hurriedly drove off in her Mercedes.

The agreed time was 7 o'clock, but it's already past 6:30 now, so it'll probably be a bit late if we go.

After finishing her meal, Ge Meimei wanted to discuss with Su Jin what activities to do that evening so she could prepare.

But after the performance, he disappeared without a trace.

They asked everyone on the set, but no one knew where Su Jin was, and she didn't answer the phone.

He was furious, vowing to himself that when Su Jin came home that night, he'd teach him a lesson—three days, no, five days…

The project is no longer available.

Su Jin was driving and naturally had no idea what Wang Luodan was thinking; even if she did, she wouldn't care.

He wished Ge Meimei would stay away from him.

After parking her Mercedes, Su Jin walked into the Hunan restaurant.

The environment was quite nice, with a classic and elegant feel, the food smelled delicious, and there were many people.

Su Jin glanced around and saw a little girl waving at him with a smile on her face.
