During the next few days of filming, Ling Tianya stayed on the set the entire time. There were new actors, and Zhang Heng was filming with even more excitement than the previous time, so Ling Tianya was more careful and hardworking too. She was watching as they filmed almost every day. She was often carefully explaining the scenes and characters with the actors and discussing the plot line with Zhang Heng.
Even if everyone knew that the drama was no longer profitable, it was definitely still a well thought out and exquisite production. The moment it was aired, it would definitely gain a lot of views. All of the actors and staff that were involved in the filming of the drama would definitely climb up the ladder of the entertainment industry.
Gu family had suffered at the hands of Ruan Zeyan because of what happened on Weibo before. So, every time Gu Zhiqian looked at Ling Tianya, his entire face was full of grief. He still tried to stay as close he could to Ling Tianya so he could tell her all about Ruan Zeyan’s dark history.
Ling Tianya was more and more speechless with everything she heard. Ruan Zeyan and Gu Zhiqian were true love-hate friends.
“Yaya, ever since kindergarten, his luck with girls has been amazing you know. They all wanted him, from the girls in his classes to the teachers and janitors. He had his pick.” Gu Zhiqian’s face was full of seriousness, trying to tell her as much as he could.
Ling Tianya turned a deaf ear to most of them, replying lazily, “Why do I feel like you’re talking about yourself?”
Gu Zhiqian was stunned, before throwing Ling Tianya a flirty look, “Of course, I captured the hearts of everyone in the kindergarten, but I’m talking about Ruan Zeyan now.”
“Stop!” Ling Tianya felt that she was getting driven insane by Gu Zhiqian. “Stop talking about this with me, everyone has a past.”
“You don’t mind?” Gu Zhiqian’s eyes widened, “It was kindergarten, janitors, young kids, teachers, none of them were immune to his charms!”
Ling Tianya couldn’t help imagining a kindergarten-aged Ruan Zeyan, unamusingly being hugged by the janitor as she pinched his tiny face.
It was way too weird. Ling Tianya felt that Gu Zhiqian was lying about Ruan Zeyan. With Ruan Zeyan’s status and identity, not many people would dare, or even be allowed to get close to him as a child. He certainly did attract attention, but what Gu Zhiqian was saying was fake.
Seeing that Ling Tianya didn’t believe him, Gu Zhiqian pouted. He picked up the goodies on the table and started feasting on them.
He’d been leeching off Ling Tianya’s food and his assistant was certainly relieved because they were happy not to have to prepare his meals.
Yi Tian came over with the script in her hands. “Miss Ling, there’s a scene that I still can’t understand fully, can you help explain to me what the character’s emotional changes are during the scene?”
“Alright, which one?” Ling Tianya sat up straight, her expression turning serious.
Yi Tian got her assistant to set her chair down in between Ling Tianya and Gu Zhiqian and sat down on it, pointing at a scene written in the script. “This one.” She turned to Gu Zhiqian then. “Senior, why don’t we go through this scene in front of Miss Ling, so I can find the right feeling?”
Gu Zhiqian spared a look at the scene, and he knew the lines already, so he agreed. Gu Zhiqian was born to act, and he was extremely talented at it. He could grasp the emotional flow and lines of the characters even if he had only read the script once.
Yi Tian observed Gu Zhiqian’s lazy agreement, her eyes sparkling.
Yi Tian and Gu Zhiqian’s practice went smoothly. Yi Tian quickly gained understanding and control over the scene’s emotions with Gu Zhiqian and Ling Tianya’s help.
“Thank you, senior actor, thank you Miss Ling, I really did learn a lot!” Yi Tian’s face was humble, just how a junior actor should look. It was definitely more pleasing than Guan Meiyi’s odd arrogance.
Zhang Ke frowned, bringing her phone over. “Miss Ling, look at this. You and Mr. Gu are trending.”
