Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

The silence between them seemed to create an awkward atmosphere.

Given that the previous two communications were not very pleasant, neither of them intended to start a conversation.

Finally, sensing the awkward atmosphere, Wang Weili broke the silence: "Sister Mi, your acting is pretty good!"

"Um?"

Yang Mi frowned and glared at Wang Weili: "Is this some new way of mocking someone?"

"This is the truth."

"This is the first time I've heard someone in the industry praise my acting skills, and I never expected it to be you."

"You've been working on several different film sets each time, and while I wouldn't say you're a great actor, you're at least passable. If you focused on one film set, you could probably act even better."

Wang Weili offered his advice very sincerely.

Yang Mi's acting skills have always been a mystery in the entertainment industry.

When she played Guo Xiang in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", she was a refreshing sight. Later, when she played Tang Xuejian and Xi Yao in "Chinese Paladin 3", few people complained.

Until recently, her acting skills entered a downward spiral.

The main reason for this is probably that they were filming multiple projects at once, since a person's energy is limited.

Wang Weili had hoped for an honest exchange, but Yang Mi perceived it as mockery of her lack of professionalism.

"Hmph! I said, Producer Wang, if you want to say that my acting skills are not up to par, which is why rehearsals keep getting stuck, you can just be direct. There's no need to beat around the bush like this."

What good does it do me to mock you?

Wang Weili's serious question made Yang Mi, whose face had darkened, hesitate.

Wang Weili added, "My acting skills aren't that great either, so what right do I have to mock you?"

"So you're saying I'm taking on multiple projects at once...?"

"I really think you're amazing, because I definitely couldn't have handled it as well as you."

"That still sounds like sarcasm... Never mind, what are you trying to say?"

Yang Mi glanced at Wang Weili with annoyance, feeling that communicating with him was a bit tiring.

Wang Weili cut to the chase: "You heard what Director Liang said earlier. He felt our presence was too strong, making it hard to connect emotionally when we acted. Do you think we could adjust that?"

"How do I adjust it?"

Yang Mi asked curiously, explaining that she didn't want the rehearsals to go on endlessly, as she had plans to meet someone later!

"I think you could adjust the character's persona."

"Why am I the one making the adjustments? Why not you?"

Wang Weili remained silent, just quietly watching Yang Mi, as if asking, "Can you please stop being so argumentative?"

Yang Mi pouted: "Fine, tell me, how do I need to adjust it?"

"Baili Tusu's character is aloof and expressionless with a touch of gossip, which fits his tragic background and his deep affection for his sect, so it can't be changed. But Feng Qingxue can be more cheerful, lively, and straightforward, which will create a contrast between the male and female leads and make the story more engaging."

Wang Weili explained to Yang Mi.

His suggestion was actually to have Yang Mi play the role of Xia Mi from "Dragon Raja 2" to create a different kind of CP feeling.

Yang Mi thought for a moment: "You're changing the character's persona, which will make the performance more difficult!"

"That's why I said it's amazing that you can work on several film sets in a row, playing different roles. It must be easy for you, right?"

Wang Weili asked with a sincere expression.

"You've been plotting against me from the very beginning..."

Yang Mi was a little speechless, thinking to herself, how could this kid be so scheming?

Wang Weili shrugged and said, "I just wanted to make things clearer. Do you want to try again as I said?"

"Come on then, let me get ready!"

Yang Mi took the script, silently recited the lines, and imagined herself speaking the lines in the tone and manner given by Wang Weili.

Meanwhile, the actors who left early had already returned to the film crew's hotel to prepare to go upstairs and rest.

"Weiting!"

"Huh? Brother Wei? What brings you to Hengdian?"

Chen Weiting looked at Liu Kaiwei who had suddenly appeared and immediately put on a warm smile.

Although he wasn't familiar with her, considering they were both actors from Hong Kong and Liu Kaiwei was a senior, Chen Weiting naturally couldn't be too cold.

Liu Kaiwei glanced cautiously at the hotel entrance and said, "Do you know what room Yang Mi is staying in? I can't get in touch with her."

"Oh, I understand."

Chen Weiting looked at Liu Kaiwei with admiration and explained, "Mi-jie is rehearsing in the production office on set. Her phone is probably off. Wei-ge, do you want to go find her?"

Chen Weiting's gaze greatly satisfied Liu Kaiwei's vanity, and at the same time, she began to seriously consider the suggestion.

"She's rehearsing; would it be inappropriate for me to go over?"

"It's okay, Director Liang is on set keeping an eye on things. If you go over there, Sister Mi might be able to leave work earlier, hehe."

Liu Kaiwei and Chen Weiting both knew exactly what those two "hehe" sounds meant, and they even exchanged a slightly lewd glance.

Then, Liu Kaiwei asked about the location of the production office, and Chen Weiting told her. Everything seemed to be going so smoothly.

After Liu Kaiwei left the hotel lobby with his assistant, Taozi, who had been secretly observing him, immediately slipped into a corner and found Liu Shishi.

"Sister Shi, Liu Kaiwei has gone out. Should we follow her?"

"Why would I follow him? I'm not here to see him! Why can't I get through on the phone?"

Liu Shishi stared at her phone with a frustrated expression.

She has called Wang Weili five times, but no one has answered.

The thought that the other person might be doing something in their room that made it inconvenient to answer the phone made her grit her teeth in anger.

Peach swallowed fearfully and said, "I just saw that thorn..."

"What? Where is she? Have you seen Wang Weili?"

Liu Shishi put down her phone and turned to look at the hotel lobby.

Peach quickly pulled her back: "Naza came back alone, Willie wasn't with her."

"Go find her!"

Liu Shishi pulled Taozi along and immediately called Nazha.

Naza immediately answered the phone and told Liu Shishi that Wang Weili was rehearsing in the production office.

After getting the address, Liu Shishi pulled Taozi and rushed towards the production office.

They set off a few minutes later than Liu Kaiwei, and because Naza's location on the phone wasn't very clear, they were delayed for a few more minutes on the road.

Meanwhile, in the production office, Yang Mi had also adjusted her mindset and was ready to start rehearsing with Wang Weili again.

A few minutes later, Liu Kaiwei arrived at the door of the production office.

Looking at the half-closed door and listening to the faint sounds coming from inside, after confirming that it was Yang Mi's voice, he waved for his assistant to move a few steps away so that he and Yang Mi could have some space to be alone.

Before entering, Liu Kaiwei glanced at the bright, clear semicircle in the night sky and couldn't help but feel that its shape was enchanting and captivating.

The rustling leaves brought a refreshing breeze.

Liu Kaiwei felt a surge of joy and was about to open the door to meet Yang Mi when he heard a man's voice coming from inside...
