"You’re being such a hypocrite, Han Ye. I only told him to get his shit done, or else I wouldn’t be kind. I’m not some abusive piece of shit who would beat a young actor for no reason even though he is doing very well. And I’m also not the person who would tackle such a good kid from the cast just because I’m so immature and cruel."
Everyone in the movie set gasped, while Han Ye could only glare at Huang Jinren displeasedly. Obviously, Huang Jinren was trying to mock Han Ye for all the weird decisions he made regarding Bai Yunyu.
"You’re playing with fire, Huang Jinren," Han Ye said while crossing his arms.
"Do you think I’m afraid of fire? Han Ye, you might be the most popular and invincible actor in China. Nobody could touch you. No slander would take you down. But I have my own as well. Even if I am fighting with my blood, then I have no fear."
Han Ye and Huang Jinren glared at each other’s eyes, and everyone could see the tension between them rising.
Bi Hexian hurriedly stood between Huang Jinren and Han Ye, trying to separate the two, "STOP! Mr. Han Ye, Mr. Huang, please don’t fight because of me! I don’t want to be the cause of a fight!"
Bi Hexian stretched his arms and then grabbed Han Ye’s neck. He circled his hands around Han Ye’s nape and pulled him down gently. Bi Hexian’s sparkly, dramatic eyes stared at Han Ye, "Mr. Han Ye... Mr. Han Ye, look at me. Please look at me!"
Han Ye shifted his gaze at Bi Hexian, and their eyes met, "Mr. Han Ye, this isn’t you. I know this isn’t you."
...
[Ewww, I bet that line comes from some cheesy teenage rom-com. That pick me girl aura is so strong from that guy, ick!]
Yunyu could only slander Bi Hexian in his heart, fearing that Han Ye would beat him again if he dared to trash talk someone that Han Ye liked.
Han Ye took a deep breath, "You’re right. It’s not good to get into a fight with my coworker. I just think that Huang Jinren is such a good actor. Unfortunately, he has to entangle with a wrong... thing. Poor him."
Huang Jinren wasn’t so angry right now. Mostly because he didn’t really care anymore. He wanted to get this scene done and then had lunch with Yunyu.
"Okay, stop fighting. We need to get this scene done. I’m already exhausted!" Director Shen yelled. He told everyone to get ready on their position and cue the shoot, "Ready, set, action!"
Bai Yunyu watched how Huang Jinren could do his part flawlessly like before, and Bi Hexian wasn’t such an incompetent idiot right now.
Although, Director Shen still wasn’t happy with the result after the scene was finished.
"Cut!" Director Shen checked the recording and shook his head displeasedly. "This is not good at all. Bi Hexian, you look so stiff! Didn’t you read the script? Bai Shijue should have that fresh and beautiful look but also has subtle maliciousness inside him. All you did was act cute and then pout! This scene is suspenseful because it’s like a deal with the devil!"
"I—I’m sorry, Director! I’m trying my best, but...." Bi Hexian glanced at Bai Yunyu, who had been watching in the sideline. "That guy, he keeps staring at me with his evil eyes. He is distracting me."
Everyone’s eyes darted on Bai Yunyu, who was also surprised by Bi Hexian’s statement.
"W—What? What did I do?"
"You keep staring at me with your evil, envious eyes. Oh no, I’m here to work, not to get envied at...." Bi Hexian pouted. "If you don’t like me, it’s alright. But please don’t stare at me like that. Are you envious that I got the role to replace you?"
Bai Yunyu was stunned, he was angry and envious, but he tried his best to hide it because he didn’t want to be a nuisance for Han Ye Gege.
But this new guy suddenly slandered him even though he did nothing.
But before Yunyu could open his mouth, Huang Jinren raised his voice first, "What are you on about right now? Bai Yunyu did nothing. He just wants to watch the shoot. Besides, he is the one who deserves the role, not you!"
"Huang Jinren! I told you not to yell at him!" Han Ye suddenly interrupted. He darted his eyes at Bai Yunyu, and Yunyu got scared by Han Ye Gege.
Han Ye scoffed, "I think that trash needs to leave the movie set. Bi Hexian is trying to focus on his role, but that trash must’ve been envious that someone better replaced him."
"HAN YE!" Huang Jinren yelled. He was ready to punch this sorry excuse of a human.
Han Ye raised his chain arrogantly, "You, trash, leave now. You’re an eyesore right now. Look at what you did to Bi Hexane. He is doing bad because you’re here."
"As expected, your presence everywhere is an eyesore. Leave now."
"Okay, Han Ye Gege, I will leave now," Bai Yunyu nodded. He was clenching his fist, trying to control the rage in his heart. He looked at Bi Hexian, Huang Jinren, and then Director Shen before returning his gaze back at Han Ye.
"You want me to leave, right? Then I shall leave. I’m sorry for being an eyesore. I hope you all can finish the job well. Please excuse me—"
"Yunyu!" Huang Jinren ran towards Yunyu and held his wrist. "Why would you leave just because of that jerk’s words?"
"Because he knows his worth. He’s worth nothing. That’s why he should leave, gives me an eyesore," Han Ye said. He looked at Director Shen and sneered. "Director, don’t you agree with me? He has no right to be inside this movie set anymore. And looking at him already ruins Bi Hexian’s acting. You should kick him out now, or I might not be in the mood for acting at all."
...
Director Shen took a deep breath, trying to contain himself in this chaotic drama created by his casts. He was angry at Bi Hexian and Han Ye right now, but as the Director, he had to be logical in any situation. This series was important.
"Bai Yunyu, please leave now."
