"Xiao Zheng, this matter isn’t just about you alone. Although you are a police officer, police officers are human too, and they encounter dangers. Those people are all desperadoes, and if you fight with them, you’re not going to come out of it well. You might as well give up." This was a woman’s earnest plea, her eyes misty with tears, sorrowful yet not lacking in beauty.
As an established Best Actress, Fan Linger truly deserved her fame. Although she looked a bit disheveled, her expression remained poignant and touching, eliciting pity from those who saw her and capturing the essence of the character remarkably well.
"So what if it’s dangerous? As long as they’ve done wrong, they must be punished. I’m not afraid of dying, as long as it’s for a worthy cause." The character played by Qin Jiran, Qin Zheng, was a very upright police officer. He was willing to risk himself to investigate the truth and his fearlessness of life and death was deeply moving. It also solidified Best Actor Qin’s tough guy image more profoundly in people’s hearts.
"OK!" Guo Zekai called cut. Both actors had performed very well in this scene; they got it in one take, which greatly pleased Guo Zekai. A scene with Best Actor and Best Actress truly was the most reassuring.
"It’s noon, everyone can take a break now. Hurry up and eat because as soon as dinner is over, it’s back to work."
During the lunch break, thanks to the normal performances of Qin Jiran and Fan Linger, everyone was able to finish early. Qin Jiran checked the time; it was a bit early for lunch. Yanyi had said she would come to bring him lunch, but he wondered if she remembered or whether something might have suddenly come up to prevent her from coming.
"Brother Qin, time to eat. It’s takeout from Tianhe Garden. I know you like it, so I specially ordered it." Jiang Xiaobin came over with the takeout.
"You eat first, I’m not hungry." Qin Jiran didn’t feel like eating. Although he wasn’t sure if Su Yanyi would come, he felt he should wait.
"Even if you’re not hungry, you should eat something. We’ll have to get back to filming later, and there won’t be time to eat then," Jiang Xiaobin urged, already taking out the lunch box.
"I’m not hungry, you eat!" Qin Jiran repeated firmly, his tone serious, which caused Jiang Xiaobin to look at him with some surprise, wondering what was suddenly wrong with Brother Qin.
Jiang Xiaobin hesitated over whether to ask what was going on when he heard several surprised shouts. Following the noise, he saw a party of three making an entrance on the set.
Su Yanyi had come with Kang Zhong and Pan Yan. The trio just happened to be outside discussing work, and after they finished, they headed straight to the set. Pan Yan had ordered the takeout, several boxes of it, and Kang Zhong was carrying them. As the three walked in, they immediately attracted most people’s attention.
Being in the entertainment industry, there were hardly any people who didn’t recognize Su Yanyi. Each industry has its top figures, and Su Yanyi was the Queen of the entertainment circle. So even attempting subtlety wouldn’t stop her from being widely recognized. Additionally, the recent news about Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran was everywhere, making it impossible for her to stay under the radar. Even outsiders were quite familiar with her. Thus, as soon as she appeared, she was immediately recognized by everyone.
Su Yanyi didn’t mind those gazes. Seeing Qin Jiran, she walked straight over to him and Qin Jiran likewise promptly greeted her. The smile on his face was very apparent, making everyone who witnessed this think their eyes were playing tricks on them.
Since when could the normally ice-cold Best Actor Qin smile so radiantly? It must be the wrong angle. Quickly, change the angle and look again!
"Yanyi, you’ve come." Ever since Su Yanyi appeared, Qin Jiran’s gaze had not left her. Tender, with a hint of a smile, warmly.
"Are you hungry? Let’s eat." Su Yanyi’s face remained somewhat indifferent, but her eyes held a trace of merriment.
