Huayu 2007: Starting with fleecing the "Fairy Sisters"

When Liu Shishi heard him mention the matter of becoming his disciple last night again, her cheeks began to burn.

"I won't call!"

She gave Wu Wei a haughty look, then turned her head away, her ponytail swinging in an arc behind her head.

"If you don't call me that," Wu Wei said deliberately, "then when I take other people as my disciples, you won't have the position of 'Chief Disciple' anymore."

Hearing this, Liu Shishi couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's as if nobody cares about your position as the chief disciple."

Seeing that she refused to call out, Wu Wei did not force her.

After all, he just wanted to tease her about it.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Liu Shishi suddenly turned around, her face flushed, gritted her teeth, and called out to him in a voice so soft it sounded like a whisper: "...Master."

After shouting, she immediately covered her face, her ears turning bright red.

"Um?"

Wu Wei looked at her with some surprise, not expecting her to actually shout.

"What are you 'humming' about? You think I won't yell?"

Seeing his reaction, Liu Shishi suddenly raised her voice, as if she were going all out: "I keep my word, you're my master from now on!"

"Good, my good disciple!"

Wu Wei quickly realized what was happening, then calmly sat down on the chair next to him, crossed his legs, and commanded with a hint of smugness, "Come here, give your master a shoulder and leg massage."

"Wu Wei!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi stomped her foot and said angrily, "You wish! Humph, come and help me practice the moves, or I'll betray my sect like Mei Chaofeng!"

"This is truly a reversal of the Heavenly Order!"

Looking at her like this, Wu Wei couldn't help but smile.

Just then, the system's light screen popped up in front of him.

[Established a special relationship with Liu Shishi]

[Heart-fluttering index: High (The other person has received a unique nickname and identity just for the two of you)]

[System Evaluation: An action that subtly hinted at ambiguity in nature laid the foundation for subsequent developments]

[Rewards: 1. Acting +4; 2. Special Skill: Beginner Acting Instruction Aura]

Wu Wei was stunned for a moment.

Is this okay?

He was just teasing her and didn't even think about the system reward. He didn't expect the system to judge it as a pursuit behavior.

But then he thought about it again and understood.

Many guys, when pursuing girls, will first use this kind of "recognizing brother and sister" or "recognizing master and apprentice" approach to get closer and lay the groundwork for further actions later.

Therefore, this kind of relationship naturally carries a hint of ambiguity.

Although he doesn't intend to pursue Liu Shishi at the moment, the system sees this behavior as an effective "pursuit method" to advance the relationship.

Wu Wei felt a surge of joy, but kept a straight face as he looked at the reward.

Acting skills improved by 4 points!

With what he's accumulated here over the past few days, his acting skills have now reached 66 points.

While this level isn't particularly high, it's more than enough for a youth campus film; at least it won't drag the film down like before.

What excited him even more was the second reward.

[Basic Directing Aura: The host can actively activate this aura when directing actors. During the aura's activation, the host's directing ability will be greatly enhanced, allowing actors to understand their characters and evoke emotions more quickly and effectively. It can also temporarily improve their acting skills, the extent of which depends on the accuracy of the host's explanation and the actor's own comprehension. The aura can be activated an unlimited number of times, but it will continuously consume the host's stamina during its activation.]

Wu Wei was overjoyed.

He desperately needs this skill!

He had previously worried that his directing skills were insufficient, and that he would be unable to accurately convey the images in his mind to the actors, resulting in them not being able to achieve the effect he wanted.

Now, with this halo, plus the "persuasive power enhancement" effect that comes with his "Golden Voice Potion,"...

By combining these two approaches, he can accurately convey his ideas to the actors, allowing them to truly understand the characters.

More importantly, this halo effect can also enhance an actor's acting skills!

In other words, even if some actors' acting skills are substandard, as long as they use this "halo" to give them some pointers on the script, their performances can reach a passing grade or even a higher level.

This is a godsend!

Liu Shishi looked at him sitting in the chair, his expression shifting between surprise and amusement, and called out in confusion, "What are you laughing at? Come over here and teach me the moves!"

"Here it comes!"

Wu Wei immediately shut down the light screen, stood up with a smile, and strode over to her, his voice brimming with barely suppressed joy: "Shishi, you are truly my good disciple! Your master loves you to death!"

He said that simply because he had received the reward he wanted, and he was just expressing his excitement; he didn't mean anything else by it.

But Liu Shishi heard it in a completely different way.

She paused for a moment, a fleeting, almost imperceptible blush flashing across her eyes...

……

After that, the two became much more natural in their interactions.

After her embarrassing drinking incident last night and her recognition of her master today, the two have become much closer.

They've completely switched to a friendship-like dynamic.

The two would joke and play around with each other, and when Liu Shishi got impatient, she would even hit him a couple of times.

Both parties felt natural, relaxed, and genuine.

However, this period of peace did not last long.

Two days later, Wu Wei received a call from assistant director Zhang Xuwei.

"Director Wu, the location scouting team has already found several locations. Now we need you to take our main creative team to conduct on-site inspections and finalize the locations as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll fly over right away."

Wu Wei hung up the phone and immediately prepared to leave.

There are still many things to decide in the pre-production of the film, and it's already the limit that he can spare these few days in Hengdian.

Wu Wei turned to look at Liu Shishi and said, "Shishi, I have to go. There are still many things to take care of at the movie site."

Liu Shishi stopped what she was doing and looked at him: "Are you leaving today?"

"Yes, I'm taking a night flight."

"Um."

She nodded, then said, "Then... be careful on the road."

Wu Wei smiled and said, "What's wrong? You're reluctant to see your master leave?"

Liu Shishi pouted: "Stop being so vain."

But his tone lacked the usual lighthearted and teasing quality.

Wu Wei didn't tease her anymore: "Then see you on the set of 'First Love' in a few days."

"Okay, see you on set."

She looked at him, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.

In the end, she just waved to him.

Wu Wei greeted the others in the training room and then turned and left.

As Liu Shishi watched his figure disappear through the door, a faint sense of melancholy suddenly welled up in her heart.

Although they didn't spend many days together, a lot happened.

From awkwardly calling him "Director Wu" on the first day we met, to later calling him "Teacher Wu," and then to calling him "Master" after he got drunk...

It seems that every day, their relationship is moving forward.

And now that he's suddenly gone, she felt a slight tug at her heartstrings.

She looked away, turned to look at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and continued with her movements.

But without that figure pointing and gesturing from the sidelines, I always felt like something was missing.
