“Is God Shi going up?” Ren Shanze asked with a smile.
Shi Hanchu smiled in response and nodded. His gaze swept over the elevator lights. “You guys go down first...”
The elevator door closed, and Su Manman pursed her lips. What did Shi Hanchu mean... She was smiling so brightly at him, but he was pretending that he couldn’t see her. He couldn’t even be bothered to nod at her.
Su Manman frowned slightly...
Su Manman arrived at the set early and took a seat. She flipped open the script and raised her wrist to look at her watch.
Why wasn’t Dong Dong back from buying the soybean milk that Shi Hanchu liked yet?
Shi Hanchu liked to be punctual in everything. When he left to take a quick shower, it took at most 15 minutes.
Su Manman was about to call Shi Hanchu but quickly recalled that Shi Hanchu hadn’t even greeted her in the elevator earlier. In a fit of pique... she put down her phone.
During the practicing of the lines, Director Chen Wenhua, who was a little gossipy, realized that Shi Hanchu and Su Manman’s interaction wasn’t even one-tenth of what happened yesterday. Could they have a lovers’ spat?
In that case, he could let them go earlier today to let Shi Hanchu coax his girlfriend.
Director Chen Wenhua intended to end the day at 6:50 pm, much earlier than usual, thinking to let Shi Hanchu and Su Manman go out for dinner!
Who knew that the moment Director Chen Wenhua released them from filming, Shi Hanchu would pack his things and leave first, completely ignoring Su Manman...
Director Chen Wenhua: “...”
This foolish kid!
Other than acting, he had no romantic genes in him at all! Couldn’t he just wait for his girlfriend to leave together?
He couldn’t even see that Su Manman’s little mouth was about to curl up into the sky. Her expression was as if there was a no man’s zone around her, clearly warning others to not bother her.
Alright, since he had known Shi Hanchu for so long, Director Chen Wenhua decided to teach Shi Hanchu a lesson.
Hence, half an hour later, Shi Hanchu, who had just taken a shower, was held hostage in his own room by Director Chen Wenhua. He nagged at him for 20 minutes about dating.
“Director Chen, what are you doing here?” Shi Hanchu asked with a smile as he sat down on the couch, drying his hair.
Director Chen Wenhua put down his crossed legs and put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the coffee table. “Where did you get it from? Didn’t you see that Su Manman’s mouth was so pouty that it could fit into a teapot today? Did you guys quarrel? I specifically set the alarm clock today to end the session early so that you could coax a girl. But you... you left first!”
Shi Hanchu’s hand that was drying his hair paused. Only then did he realize that Director Chen Wenhua seemed to have misunderstood his relationship with Su Manman. He smiled and said, “Aren’t you mistaken? I’m not dating Su Manman...”
Director Chen Wenhua stared at Shi Hanchu with widened eyes.
Shi Hanchu, who was seated at the coffee table, had a genuine smile on his face. “I wouldn’t be able to hide it from you If I was really dating her!”
Director Chen Wenhua pursed his lips. “I thought you two match each other really well!”
Shi Hanchu smiled and said nothing.
“Forget it, I was being nosy today...” Director Chen Wenhua sighed and got up. “Still can’t let go of Jiang Mingzhu?”
The smile on Shi Hanchu’s face didn’t change. He lowered his gaze and wiped his hair with a towel. His actions were clearly slow.
“Alright! I won’t force you if you still can’t let go of the past! But Hanchu... you need to look forward!” Director Chen Wenhua patted Shi Hanchu’s shoulder before leaving the room.
...
Under Director Chen Wenhua’s devil-like supervision, the script reading was finally done, and they were ready for filming.
He wanted to film the intimate scenes between Shi Hanchu and Su Manman first.
Both actors were ready...
The plot was actually very simple. It was just filming the two of them hugging and kissing from outside the apartment. Shi Hanchu closed the door with his foot and they almost got raunchy on the sofa. However, Shi Hanchu restrained himself, afraid that he would scare Su Manman.
Such a scene was no problem for Shi Hanchu and Su Manman, who had superb acting skills throughout.
It was finished in one take...
This was the crew’s first time to witness Su Manman’s acting skills.
Su Manman was acting as the little fox who hadn’t discovered her true identity. Her actions and words were innocent which inadvertently made one find her alluring. It was exactly what a fox should depict.
It was only at this point that many people realized why Director Chen Wenhua had shelved the film and unable to find a suitable female lead ever since Jiang Mingzhu passed away.
How many people could act like Su Manman and control a character so well?
Those eyes were so clean and clear that one could see them to the end with just one look. However, for some reason, they felt that every frown and smile of hers had an alluring charm.
She was a femme fatale!
Ren Shanze watched from the side. Let alone Shi Hanchu, who was acting alongside Su Manman, even he couldn’t help but loosen his collar.
This was the first time Ren Shanze used the word “scary” to describe other actors’ acting skills.
It wasn’t as if Ren Shanze hadn’t seen Su Manman’s acting in the trailer of “The Olden Days.” But the little fox in front of him was completely different from Feng Yi, the Feng family elder in “The Olden Days.” This was the highest level an actor could achieve, resembling the character of every role they acted!
Moreover, it made one feel that... she was the character coming to life. Other than her, no one else could hold this character well.
It was summer, and the filming location was extremely hot...
Seeing that everyone else was eating ice cream, Su Manman pitifully picked up a piece of frozen ice and put it into her mouth.
Turning her head sideways... she saw that not far away, Shi Hanchu was reading a script. Like her, he picked up a piece of ice and put it into his mouth.
Jiang Mingzhu had forced Shi Hanchu to develop these habits with her.
Unexpectedly, Shi Hanchu still hadn’t changed his habit.
At the thought of this, Su Manman decided not to be angry with Shi Hanchu...
She had been cold to Shi Hanchu these few days, and Shi Hanchu was cold to her as well, not giving in to her at all.
In the past, she was used to being spoiled by Shi Hanchu, so her temper was inevitably a little bad.
The young lady walked over to Shi Hanchu and sat down beside him, taking a piece of ice from him.
“Tsk... you’re sure someone who enjoys luxury. A peppermint-flavored ice block. Why didn’t I think of it?” Su Manman turned her head and asked Shi Hanchu.
Shi Hanchu didn’t put on airs either. His public image had always been gentle and elegant.
This peppermint-flavored ice block was originally a method Shi Hanchu used for Jiang Mingzhu...
However, Jiang Mingzhu passed away afterward.
However, Little Song remembered that the ice cubes he had prepared for Shi Hanchu these few times were peppermint-flavored ice cubes. Shi Hanchu used them just like that.
“If you like it, get Little Song to prepare one for you next time.”
“I have a better idea. I just don’t know if Little Song will do it!” Su Manman said to Shi Hanchu with interest as she raised the ice block.
