Chinese entertainment: Top stars have no holidays

Inside a small break room on set.

"Who let you come here? I didn't let you visit the set."

A barely perceptible hint of irritation and resistance flashed across his eyes.

During this period, she and Zhang Han were having a major falling out.

From initial constant arguments to later cold wars and estrangement, the words "break up" lingered on their lips countless times, but they never truly said it outright.

Zhang Han's sudden visit to the set clearly caught her off guard.

Zhang Han released Na Zha's hand, his tone not exactly gentle, but with a hint of deliberate softening: "I came to see you and brought you some food."

Naza snorted coldly, not looking up at him, arms crossed, fingertips unconsciously rubbing her arms, her voice cold and distant: "Who let you come here?"

"I didn't ask you to visit the set."

Zhang Han's face darkened, and his tone turned cold: "Can't I come to see you?"

"We're still a couple, Naza, can you stop acting so distant?"

"A couple?" Naza finally looked up, her eyes filled with exhaustion and impatience. "Zhang Han, there have been problems between us for a long time, don't you know that?"

"You're busy with your career, and I'm busy with my work. We rarely see each other, and it's hard to even have a proper conversation, let alone maintain what you call a sense of novelty."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a long-suppressed grievance: "What I want isn't your occasional visits to the set, or your perfunctory concern, but rather a relationship where we can be together and have mutual affection. But you can't give me that."

Zhang Han paused for a moment, then retorted, "If I'm not busy with my career, how will we maintain this relationship?"

"Maintaining a sense of novelty requires both people to work together. Can't you be a little more understanding of me?"

His impatience gradually became apparent. "I made a point of taking the time to come here, not to argue with you."

"I'm not arguing with you, I'm just stating the facts." Naza took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination. "Zhang Han, let's stop deceiving ourselves and break up. It'll be better for both of us."

These words were like a thorn, instantly turning Zhang Han's face ashen.

He stared at Naza for a few seconds, then finally stopped arguing, saying coldly, "I will not agree."

After saying that, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

Then, he was greeted by dozens of wide-eyed stares and curious, gossipy looks.

"Cough cough..."

Director Da Peng immediately picked up a megaphone and started shooing everyone away: "What are you all standing here for? Have you finished your work?!"

Instantly, the dozens of people gathered outside the small room scattered like birds and beasts.

no way.

This so-called rest room is just a temporary prefabricated house set up on the film set. How good can the sound insulation be?

Someone is speaking normally in the room, and people outside can actually hear them.

If the emotions get even more intense, then it's really no different from arguing in public.

Zhang Han was genuinely getting anxious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to start arguing with Naza in the middle of a crowded film set.

This is the kind of mistake a seasoned star should never make.

Feeling somewhat annoyed and regretful, Zhang Han frowned and could no longer maintain his politeness. He turned around and left the set with his assistant.

He wasn't worried about any private revelations getting out.

Da Peng is a very shrewd and tactful person; he wouldn't let such a thing happen to his film crew.

Sure enough, after Zhang Han left with a dark expression, Da Peng immediately gathered all the staff who had been eavesdropping and instructed them not to spread the word.

They even had the assistant director check these people's phones to make sure no one was secretly recording.

After finishing up, Da Peng took a bottle of mineral water and went into the lounge.

"Are you alright?"

Naza took the water, forced a smile, and shook his head: "It's okay, it won't affect filming."

She didn't care whether outsiders overheard the argument.

Or rather, her little mind simply wasn't thinking about things unrelated to feelings at that moment.

Not far from the lounge, Jiang Bai and Qiao Shan stood arm in arm, looking like they had eaten their fill of gossip, whispering to each other.

"It's like a live idol drama," Jiang Bai commented. "And I must say, Han Ge's performance on set is better than on TV. His emotions are much more intense, and his lines are more heartfelt."

Qiao Shan glared at Jiang Bai, annoyed: "Still joking!"

"It seems these two are going to break up for good," he said with a hint of regret.

Jiang Bai didn't understand why Qiao Shan was so regretful. "So what if they broke up?"

"They're all handsome men and beautiful women, so why worry about not finding someone after a breakup?"

For Jiang Bai, who works in the finance industry, breaking up is fine, the next one will be better.

Are people in the entertainment industry afraid of not being able to find someone to date?

Stop making your brother Jiang laugh.

After gossiping about Naza's relationship for a while, the two went their separate ways to have lunch in their RV.

in the afternoon.

Naza was clearly not in good form, and had to NG several times because he was distracted.

Da Peng saw this but didn't criticize her too much. He just let her rest for half an hour to adjust her condition.

Seeing that she was in low spirits, Jiang Bai didn't bother her any further.

Anyway, there aren't many scenes between the two of them, only group scenes, so at least the NG won't only affect him.

In the end, the afternoon's scenes were filmed under Da Peng's strategic planning and were completed without affecting the filming schedule.

The next day.

I thought that with Zhang Han gone, the crew could return to its usual peace.

But no one expected that early in the morning, as soon as everyone arrived at the set, they would see Zhang Han sitting on a bench in the corner, his eyes bloodshot, clearly having not slept well all night.

He didn't go up to disturb Naza, but just watched her from afar with a complex look in his eyes, a mixture of resentment, grievance, and a barely perceptible desire to keep her.

When Naza saw him, her face immediately darkened again, but she did not take the initiative to drive him away. She simply pretended not to see him and went straight to the dressing room without saying a word.

The atmosphere on set became delicate again. The staff were all very careful, afraid of accidentally touching a nerve with the two of them, and even spoke in hushed tones.

What's even more embarrassing is that today's filming schedule includes a kissing scene between Cheng Gong, played by Da Peng, and Ding Jianguo, played by Gulnazar.

Da Peng, who thought Zhang Han had left, showed a hint of embarrassment.

There's nothing wrong with filming kissing scenes.

Even filming kissing scenes when an actress's boyfriend visits the set is, strictly speaking, not a big deal.

After all, the production crew can't possibly change the scenes filmed on a particular day just for someone's visit to the set.

Of course, generally speaking, a partner wouldn't specifically choose a day when the film crew is shooting kissing scenes to visit the set; wouldn't that just invite unpleasantness?

Coincidentally, Zhang Han just made things difficult for himself.

To Da Peng's embarrassment, the couple is still arguing, and it seems like the woman wants to break up, while the man wants to keep her.

Now that she's filming a kissing scene with the woman in front of the man, isn't that just provoking him even more?

I don't want to get caught up in some unforeseen disaster; that would be really bad luck.

The only thing that made Da Peng feel fortunate was that the kissing scene wouldn't be filmed until nightfall, and Zhang Han might leave by then.

There was no other way, and it wasn't appropriate to kick them out.

The crew had to pretend Zhang Han didn't exist and diligently began today's filming.

However, compared to usual, the atmosphere on set was noticeably quieter today.

They filmed two scenes like that.

Surprisingly, under Zhang Han's watchful eye, Nazha actually performed better.

He perfectly captured Ding Jianguo's aloof and unapproachable demeanor.

If it weren't for the inconvenience, Da Peng would have suggested that Zhang Han stay a couple more days...

"Okay, cut! Actors, take a break, let's readjust the set!"

After another shot was completed, we got a short break.

Jiang Bai immediately walked towards his assistant: "How's it going? Where are we?"

"They should be here soon," the assistant, holding her phone, immediately reported to her supervisor.

Just then, light footsteps sounded at the entrance of the film set, followed by a clear voice, "Jiang Bai, I'm here!"

All eyes on the set were drawn to the entrance.

Tian Xiwei was wearing a white dress, her hair in a cute bun, a bright smile on her face, and carrying a large bag. She walked in with light steps.

Jiang Bai was taken aback when he saw Tian Xiwei, then smiled gently and walked over quickly: "You're here."

Tian Xiwei shook the bag in her hand, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "I brought you some delicious food, and a little gift that I bought especially for you."

Her gaze swept across the entire room, landing on the expressionless Guli Nazha, the gloomy-faced Zhang Han in the corner, and the helpless Da Peng standing to the side.

"Hehe, Naza is even better looking in person than in photos."

"It's just that the owner of the pond is not good-looking."
