The director was also speechless and wanted to get off work earlier.
Although the filming of the first few scenes was very smooth and it had saved a lot of time, no matter who it was, they would be able to get off work earlier today.
But for the next few scenes, first, Li Yue had to waste time because of Jiang Yu’s “groundless” mistake in her performance. Now, she had to delay it because she could not catch up with Jiang Yu’s scenes.
Even if she was the movie queen, she couldn’t waste everyone’s time like this.
The director’s face was already showing some impatience. When Li Yue finished filming the last scene of the scene, the director said, “Alright. That’s all for today’s scenes. Everyone, go back and rest first.”
All the staff cheered collectively.
The director added, “But no matter what, today’s filming went smoothly. Everyone can go back earlier. Tomorrow will be the same time. Continue filming here.”
Jiang Yu and Li Yue nodded and said, “Understood, director.”
The director kindly reminded them, “Oh right, tomorrow’s filming might be a little longer. You two get good rest today.”
Jiang Yu and Li Yue nodded again and said, “Alright, Director.”
Only then did the director feel at ease and prepare to go back to his studio to pack up his things and go home.
Halfway through, he thought of something, he walked back and said, “Oh right, the scenes of the Empress and the noble consort will probably be finished by tomorrow morning and noon. The two of you should also take a look at the scenes of the warlord’s wife and the female student today.”
“Alright, Director.”
This time, the director finally felt at ease and left.
On the way back, Sister Xia flipped through the script and said, “The scenes tomorrow will be very easy to shoot. You and Li Yue will only have the scenes of the Empress and the Noble Consort. From now on, you and Li Yue will each shoot their own scenes.”
Jiang Yu rubbed her temples and said, “I hope these scenes will end quickly.”
She did not want to continue acting with Li Yue at all.
Sister Xia comforted her, “But there’s nothing we can do about it. After all, you and Li Yue are on this year’s ‘Movie queen nomination’ list. She was the winner of the movie queen award two years ago. The competition between you and the other nominees is very strong.”
Jiang Yu sighed and said helplessly, “I know there’s nothing I can do about it, so I can only hope for it to end as soon as possible.”
Sister Xia also sighed.
Naturally, she could tell that Li Yue was targeting Jiang Yu.
“Oh right,” Sister Xia remembered that Li Yue had always said that Jiang Yu had made a mistake today. She was worried that Jiang Yu would be affected by it, hence, she asked, “Li Yue has always said that you made a mistake today. Don’t take it to heart. She is a movie queen and is very powerful. It is understandable if she is a little harsh towards the juniors.”
Harsh towards the juniors?
Jiang Yu did not want to expose Li Yue’s thoughts.
Was it harsh or was it 100% targeted?
However, Jiang Yu did not want to say this in front of Sister Xia to prevent her from worrying about herself. Hence, she said, “It’s alright, Sister Xia. I know the logic behind this. I can accept it.”
“That’s good.” Sister Xia was relieved and said, “I’m really afraid that Li Yue will use her status as the movie queen to embarrass you. I’m also afraid that you will feel wronged because of this.”
Jiang Yu comforted, “It’s alright, Sister Xia. If you say that, then you’re looking down on me.”
Sister Xia sighed, “I’ve been a manager in this industry for so many years, and you’re the one with the most potential and youngest talent I’ve ever seen. I originally wanted to bring you up well, so that my title of ‘Gold-medal manager’ in this industry would be more convincing.”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Even if you’re not my manager, Sister Xia, you’re already the most outstanding ‘Gold-medal manager’.”
