The group actors were impressed by Ran Xueyi's radiant and cheerful smile. Their eyes were full of admiration and someone shouted, "Yes, yes! You just came right on time!"
The crowd that huddled together soon broke up and each young police officer lined up and went forward to welcome the sweet new colleague.
Ran Xueyi swept her gaze over the crowd of young and hot-blooded men and a shy look appeared on her face.
Just in time, Gao Yang came out from his office and saw them crowding in front of him. Sweeping a cold gaze at their behavior, he coolly said, "What are you doing?!"
The crowd of young and old men who appeared as if they gathered for an idol fan meeting woke up from their dreams, replaced by a nightmare and felt an extremely cold presence from behind them. One by one, the men who gathered around the woman who had just come to the office left and sat on their own office desks.
At this moment, due to the men quickly dispersing in front of him, Gao Yang finally saw the reason why they were crowding in front of his office.
"And you are?" he coldly asked, slightly showing his displeasure because of the disturbance from just now. He completely blamed the woman in front of him for it.
Gao Yang appeared in front of her. As she looked up, she could see the superior face of the man in front of her. However, instead of being dazzled and having the dreamy eyes of those other women that came to him with other intentions, the woman showed a frightened and shy look instead.
"I... I'm the one who was referred to by Chief Director Lin. I'm Ruan Jiaojiao!"
Gao Yang's expression soon straightened and there was no longer a gloomy look on his face. "Oh, you're very early. I thought you would come a bit later."
Ruan Jiaojiao showed an embarrassed look and said, "I was afraid I would be late so I drove here from the Capital early in the morning. I don't want to give a bad impression to my colleagues."
Gao Yang relaxed and he finally showed a smile, "It's good to be punctual. But you should have still called before coming here. At least, I would have sent someone to get you from the airport."
"No! There's no need for that..."
"Alright, you can look for Secretary Chu. He will handle and help you while you're here."
This time, the fear in the woman's eyes gradually disappeared and admiration and gratefulness soon filled it.
At this moment, another woman appeared and walked over to Gao Yang's side. Patting his shoulder, she said, "What are you doing standing here? Let's go and eat some breakfast before we start working."
Gao Yang looked at the woman and nodded, "Let's go."
Gao Yang stepped forward with the other woman before suddenly meeting a gaze.
—It was a hopeful look. It was a pure gaze but a thousand words were hidden in it. He wondered what those eyes were trying to tell him.
The eyes of the two were still gazing at each other, both had their own thoughts hidden. Gao Yang subconsciously frowned but his attention was stolen away by the woman who hugged his arm and took him out of that place.
The camera moved forward to capture a closeup look at Ran Xueyi's expression.
Her face still showed a shy appearance of a young woman finally meeting her superior, but her eyes slowly curved into a smile.
...
"Cut! This scene passed!" Director Sun shouted with excitement and quickly called the main actors over his tent, "Su Zixi, Miao Li, and Ran Xueyi, come here over here."
The assistant director knew what Director Sun wanted and quickly pulled up a replay of the scene. The three main actors soon stood inside the tent and the replay was already on the small monitor for the director.
Ran Xueyi thought that her acting just now was good and she relaxed her body.
Director Sun pressed the play button and the replay moved on the monitor. A smile dangled on his lips as he watched the scene the camera captured just now. It was until the scene at the very end was shown that he pressed to pause it.
Director Sun said, "This scene here is really good. Ran Xueyi's smile is just in the right time and moment after she met Su Zixi's gaze. In particular, the script said nothing about this, but you improvised the scene and showed a mysterious part that will capture the audiences' attention quickly and make them wonder the real meaning behind that smile."
The script only said that Ruan Jiaojiao smiled at the backs of the main leads, but it didn't say anything about what kind of smile was used. It was all Ran Xueyi's acting that made the scene even more ideal than the script.
Director Sun was all praise for Ran Xueyi's amazing acting skills. He no longer doubted her talent and was overjoyed to have her in the movie.
"Miao Li and Su Zixi also worked really well. The two of you showed good chemistry with each other. However, Su Zixi, you shouldn't stare at Ruan Jiaojiao a bit too long. Are you trying to freeze her over with your stare?"
Earlier, Su Zixi's role, Gao Yang, stared a bit too long at Ran Xueyi when the crowd dispersed. He was a beat late to say his lines, but it wasn't that noticeable that Director Sun would ask for a repeat of the scene.
Hearing his words, Su Zixi stiffened and glanced away. He felt Miao Li and Ran Xueyi glance over at him and he just wanted to dig and crawl under the ground to hide.
It was his fault that when he saw Ran Xueyi, bathed in sunlight and standing in front of him, that he lost his senses for a second there. He forgot to speak his lines and it was due to Ran Xueyi's signal that he was able to get through the scene.
Thinking that he had to rely on his co-star's help to finish the scene, Su Zixi was ashamed and also grateful.
Nevertheless, the fact that he almost busted everything out was already known to Ran Xueyi.
'Ah! My fanboy life has been exposed!'
...
