Director Daren didn't know that Ran Xueyi used him to deflect the words of Song Yu Han. When the married couple arrived at the rented hotel where the film was being shot, a crowd of village people had gathered around outside of the hotel's gate.
It seems that they were here to see some stars.
However, it was somewhat strange to see them now since they weren't around when they first arrived. What could have brought them here then?
When Song Yu Han parked outside of the hotel, the crowd suddenly trembled as one and turned to where their car was parked. The eyes of these people seemed to brighten up as if seeing something interesting.
"He's here!"
"I can't believe what the village chief said turned out to be true. There really is a bigshot in our village!"
"Hurry, let's go and welcome him!"
The video of Song Yu Han appearing on the red carpet of the Night Gala has gone viral to the point that even the small village found out about it. It was first seen by the son of the village chief who had just arrived from the city from the west side of the village. The village chief's son had seen the film group when they first arrived when his father welcomed them to their village.
At that time, the chief's son was only impressed by the appearance of the stars that appeared in their village and that was all. However, after the release of the videos from the Night Gala, he was struck by the discovery that the two of the top trending figures of that night were actually in their village!
Upon learning this, the village chief's son called his father and told him about it. Perhaps, he was afraid that his father would not believe him, so he sent several screenshots of the top trending lists and also photos of Song Yu Han and Ran Xueyi to his father as evidence.
Since then, the rumor that a bigshot had appeared in the village spread like fire.
It was only today that they were able to gather around in front of the rented hotel and wait for the bigshot to appear.
Ran Xueyi looked at the crowd suddenly appearing in front of them.
She turned head to look at Song Yu Han before she said, "I'll go on ahead inside."
She didn't want to deal with the village people after a restless night of tossing and turning in bed after provoking her husband. Anyway, it didn't look like they came here for her so she should let Song Yu Han taste the experience of having fans surrounding him.
Ran Xueyi got off the car before the village people could get near her. She slipped through the narrow path towards the rented hotel and disappeared inside.
As for Song Yu Han, he speechlessly watched her escape and left him behind with his hand holding the keys.
The way Ran Xueyi ran off just now looked exactly how a thief would escape.
Ran Xueyi didn't feel a tiny bit of guilt leaving Song Yu Han to deal with the village people as she safely got into the rented hotel. Since it had a gate and barricade to keep unauthorized people in the vicinity, no one followed her inside.
"Why are you sweating a lot? Did you run here from the villa?" Adelle asked her.
"Ha… I did… Though, I didn't run from the villa to this place. It's just that there's a crowd outside and I had to leave so I won't be trapped in that boiling pot," said Ran Xueyi as she panted.
Seeing her like this, Adelle took out a bottle of water from the small fridge in the room and gave it to her. She looked at Ran with a weird expression on her face while saying, "You left your husband outside to deal with the crowd? Won't you get in trouble later?"
Ran Xueyi: "..."
Well, she'll deal with it later.
Director Daren arrived in the room and saw Ran Xueyi. "You're here?" He looked at his watch and frowned, "There's still some time before 8 am."
Ran Xueyi smiled awkwardly at him. She couldn't tell him that Song Yu Han woke her up so early in the morning and dragged her to look at the sea. And she absolutely could not tell him that she used him to stop her husband from nagging.
"I woke up early and didn't have anything to do. Coincidentally, Song Yu Han was also awake and we both agreed to come here before the scheduled time." Ran Xueyi explained without changing her expression.
Director Daren nodded before saying, "Tell him to come see me when he comes in. I have some things to discuss with him."
"Is it about the script?"
"Yes." The young director paused and thought about something and hesitated to say, "Speaking of which, is it alright with your… uh… your husband?"
"Hm?"
Director Daren pursed his lips and said, "I heard that Mr. Song and your husband know each other well. But the changes in the script might make your husband feel a little bit uncomfortable. Do you want to look for a body double when executing these stunts?"
The film <Unholy Desires> lived up to its name. It might be a story about redemption and achieving one's happiness in the end after experiencing tribulations in life, but no one can deny that the main attraction of the film was the two main character's feelings towards each other.
Two flawed adults would find each other attractive and would eventually test out their feelings. When Daren Wang created the script, he didn't hesitate to add more flavors into the plot and made the characters explore pleasure and pain together.
With the new changes in the script, the bed and kissing scenes were slightly increased. Daren Wang was worried that Ran Xueyi's husband would suddenly pop out here and beat him up because he didn't like his wife kissing someone else other than himself.
In the past, there were some cases where married actors and actresses would rely on body doubles to not arouse their partner's jealousy and anger.
Naturally, there were some sloppy actors who didn't care about their partners and chose to do the bed scenes themselves. However, their partners would find out about it quickly and rush to the filming set and beat the actors who did the bed scenes themselves until their faces were unrecognizable.
Thus, it had been a secret rule in the entertainment industry that if one was married, one should use a body double to not make their partner's angry.
Actually, it wouldn't have been a problem if the partner's of these actors had agreed to let them do what they want, but the directors were too afraid to hire married actors in their films because they think it would hinder the progress of their film and besides, they were afraid that the partners of these actors were too powerful for them to control.
Ran Xueyi also understood Daren Wang's worries. Truth to be told, if Song Yu Han hadn't sneaked behind her to audition for the main leading male role, Ran Xueyi would have relied on a body double too. She could also see the scene where Song Yu Han would be domineeringly pressuring the entire crew to delete all bed and kissing scenes.
It was not impossible with how possessive he had become over the four years they had been together.
In the end, Ran Xueyi refused to get a body double and assured the young director that there would be no problem at all with her husband.
When Song Yu Han entered the filming set, Director Daren called him to talk about the same thing.
Song Yu Han told him that there was no problem with him: "Ran Xueyi's husband would definitely not have any problems with me either. But if it's someone else… there might be a problem."
Hearing this, Director Daren felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong so he dismissed this thought before shouting for everyone to prepare the next scene.
At the same time, Zhao Fei, who had been beside Feng Huai, was now running around the city to look for people who could help her release Feng Huai from prison.
In the end, she still went to Chestnut.
But when she arrived there, the guard told her that she was not given access to enter the building.
Frowning, Zhao Fei glared at the guard and said, "Is there something wrong with your eyes? Didn't you see me enter the building yesterday? Why are you blocking my way?!"
The guard looked down at her and replied, "Orders from the higher-ups. Only employees of the company can enter today."
"What? I'm the Chief Agent of Chestnut, how is it possible that I can't go inside the building where I worked?!"
The guard was not moved by her words and merely told her to get her ID and scan it on the scanner beside him. Zhao Fei had only used this scanning system once when they first moved offices, but she remembered that when she used it last time, it gave her access to enter.
"What is your name? Aren't you afraid that I will fire you?" Zhao Fei was confident that the scanner would not reject her ID as she scolded the guard.
But who would have thought that the moment her words had just fallen, the scanner would suddenly beep and turn red while showing two words in caps lock…
[DENIED ENTRY]
Zhao Fei: "...!"
The guard: "Heh…"
