“Thank you, director. My manager taught me well.” Lu Mian walked off the stage. His previous violence had disappeared in an instant. This was a real good actor. He was able to control his emotions well.
“No…” Lu Xuan listened to everyone’s applause and felt indignant. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, Lu Mian looked back at her and her mouth snapped shut.
Lu Mian was looking for Jiang Zhi in the crowd. The moment their eyes met, the glimmer in Lu Mian’s eyes only intensified. He raised his eyebrows proudly and glanced at Jiang Zhi. Finally, his eyes stopped at her lips.
Jiang Zhi’s face turned red and she hurriedly avoided the burning gaze.
When she saw Wu Dai standing with his head lowered, Jiang Zhi walked towards him.
“Director Jiang, I… I’m sorry. You thought so highly of me. Wu Dai felt the burden on his shoulder. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Zhi’s concerned gaze. He wanted to smile, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t. He had been completely immersed in the incident just now.
“It’s okay. Wu Dai, don’t be disheartened just because of one failure.” Jiang Zhi patted Wu Dai’s shoulder and stood beside him. She handed him a glass of water. “Lu Xuan deliberately badgered you just now. You have to pull yourself together.”
“I’m useless, Director Jiang. If it weren’t for me…” Wu Dai was deeply in self-blame. He had been suppressed by Lu Xuan just now and could not say a word.
“You can’t let her lead you around by the nose in this scene. You have to get deep into the role too. You have to act out the kind of big explosion that comes from being tortured by her over a prolonged period in a long relationship.”
Jiang Zhi explained patiently. Suppressing the scene was most likely to cause the opponent’s actor to lose confidence. If it was serious, it would leave a dark mark. If it was not resolved now, it would only lead to long-term damage in the future.
Wu Dai quickly recovered and calmed down a lot after being comforted. He pulled himself together again. “Director Jiang, I understand. I won’t let you down.”
Jiang Zhi also let out a sigh of relief. When she saw Wu Dai return to the stage in perfect condition, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
Ding Dong
The message rang. Jiang Zhi opened her phone and found that it was from Lu Mian.
[Zhi Zhi, wasn’t I great just now?]
Jiang Zhi smiled helplessly and typed quickly on the keyboard.
[Great, very good. Thank you, Mian. You are the best.]
[Since I’m so good, Zhi Zhi, do you still need to look at others? You were very close to Wu Dai just now and I’m jealous. Zhi Zhi, you have to make it up to me.]
She even sent an emoji after she said that. It was very pitiful.
Jiang Zhi felt as if she was trying to coax a little kid, so she quickly comforted him with a smile on her face.
[What do you want?]
[I want to… talk about it tonight…]
Jiang Zhi remembered the craziness from yesterday, and her face turned red again. She quickly turned off her phone.
Soon, the two actors adjusted themselves and went on stage again.
Lu Xuan looked at Wu Dai, who was different from before and smiled disdainfully. She deliberately walked closer to Wu Dai and said, “Wu Dai, you were really embarrassing just now.”
“It’s just the same. Sister Xuan, it’s better for you to look after yourself.” Wu Dai’s strong-willed heart was once again spurred. He was already filled with pressure even before he went on stage.
When he went on stage, Wu Dai’s aura had changed greatly compared to just now. On the contrary, Lu Xuan’s performance seemed mediocre.
When Lu Xuan looked at the camera, she suddenly looked at Lu Mian, who had his head lowered and was smiling. Her heart suddenly felt as if it had been struck by something. She could not help but want to take a look, but even as she leaned over to take a look, Wu Dai became completely immersed in his role.
