Fang Xuan retorted immediately, “That scene was all your lines. Do you want to perform alone?”
He then said to the director, “If that’s the case, I’ll have to act in thirty-five scenes. Those are all my scenes!”
Nan Yin also wanted to show off in front of Xi Wan, so she quickly said, “Can we perform thirty-seven scenes? I’ve already memorized all the lines!”
The director was speechless. Are you the director or am I the director? Listen to me, we’ll perform all thirty-eight scenes!”
The thirty-eight scenes were group scenes. There were no fighting scenes, just a few main actors confronting each other and scolding each other.
After the scene was over, Xi Wan nodded. “It’s not bad. The actors are all quite tense. ”
When Xu Shan and Fang Xuan were scolding each other, their saliva almost sprayed on Xi Wan’s face.
She even specially bought fresh fruits and milk tea for every actor and crew member. The director immediately praised her in front of everyone. “Look at how generous Miss Xi is!”
While everyone was eating, Fang Xuan walked over and asked softly, “Miss Xi, do you really think it’s not bad?”
The reason why he asked this was because he knew that he was the worst out of all the leading actors, especially when it came to lines.
Although Xu Shan was not a professional like him, Xu Shan had studied broadcasting for a few years before. He had even been a host during his internship. His skills at reading lines were much better than Fang Xuan’s. Although Fang Xuan had also hired a script teacher to guide him, the filming time was too tight. He had yet to learn anything and already had to go on stage.
Xi Wan also generously pointed out his shortcomings, “Your lines are not very good.”
Fang Xuan’s eyes lit up. So, Xi Wan knew about it, but she did not say anything earlier.
Xi Wan comforted him. “Don’t worry. You’ll be able to learn your lines after practicing for a few years. There’s no need to deny yourself just because of a little shortcoming.”
“Thank you, Miss Xi!” Fang Xuan’s eyes were filled with gratitude and respect.
“You’re welcome.” Xi Wan found the director and patted him on the shoulder, saying, “You can get this show done according to your wishes. You can shoot it however you want. It doesn’t matter even if it’s a mess.”
The system replied: [You’re really rich! Do you know how much money you invested in this show?]
“It’s okay, I have money.”
The system was speechless. [After so many days, I did not expect to hear this sentence again! ]
However, the director had clearly misunderstood Xi Wan’s intentions. He thought that she was trying to reduce the pressure on himself so that he could produce a better film. He even felt that having an investor like Xi Wan in the entertainment industry was a blessing for all directors!
Hence, the director said very sincerely, “Don’t worry, Miss Xi! I definitely won’t let you down!”
Very good, very motivated.
After watching the live filming, Xi Wan’s interest waned. After she greeted the director, she planned to go back.
However, on the way back, she received another message from another production team: “Miss Xi, do you want to come to our production team to take a look? It just so happened that we’re filming an outdoor scene today and the scenery we chose is not bad.”
Xi Wan was not interested and did not plan to go, so she said, “No, I have to go back.”
“But you chose this female protagonist personally. How can you not come over and take a look?”
Only then did Xi Wan remember that this was the drama where she replaced Zhao Fei. She then found an actress named Liu Yan to play the role of the female protagonist.
She had never seen Liu Yan’s acting skills before and there were mixed reviews about her online. This really piqued Xi Wan’s interest.
So, she said, “Give me the address and I’ll go over now.”
The other party quickly sent her an address. Xi Wan clicked on it and realized that she was nearby, so she asked the driver to turn around and go straight to another set.
Compared to the previous production team, the atmosphere in this production team was very normal. Everyone was doing their own things and did not turn their attention to Xi Wan.
The director explained with a smile, “I didn’t inform anyone on purpose so that you could see the true state of our production team. What do you think? The atmosphere in our production team is very good, right?”
“It’s indeed quite good.” As Xi Wan spoke, she walked forward and happened to see Cai Yi and Tang Xuan, who was playing the second female protagonist, filming a scene.
The content of this scene was Tang Xuan and Cai Yi practicing martial arts. The director requested that the two of them draw their swords in unison so that it would look good. However, Cai Yi did not know how to draw his sword no matter how many times Tang Xuan taught him..
