Rebirth in Hengdian

Chapter 9

CHAPTER 9

All actors have character set

"Cut!" the director shouted, "Zhang Ruoyang, the look in your eyes is wrong. You should look at Li Zixi's green tea on her table first thoughtfully and then with understanding, not a smug look. Do it again!"

　　Hearing what the director said, Zhang Ruoyang was a little unhappy. When filming the playing scene on the basketball court just downstairs, the director had him repeat several times. Isn't it just a small advertisement, what is he so strict for? His face turned dark; he is about to lose his temper. He looked at his agent and closed his mouth.

　　After filming again, the director was still dissatisfied: "When thinking about it, you have to pause for a while. Your eyes changed too quickly."

　　Listening to these words, Zhang Ruoyang finally got unbearably angry. He put his bottle on the table heavily and said, "What the hell, isn't this just an advertisement! So many requests!"

　　As soon as his words came out, the set became silent. Everyone looked at him and then at the director. The director's expression instantly became cold.

　　Wang Can thought, this is a small advertisement? I didn't see you take a good shot for just a small advertisement! I want to be strict with you, but you also have to be that piece of scum! A lot of requirements had been modified. If you slack more, don't know whether you are advertising for green tea or for yourself.

　　Although I am a little director, you are also a little star. You act like this after a few days of popularity. Sooner or later, your acting career will conclude its end.

　　He felt aggrieved. He finally got to the position of director, step by step from assistant director, and encountered this kind of perplexing work. What's wrong with the actors nowadays, he had never seen old actors with big names act as such.

　　Thinking of this, he also wanted to rage. However, without waiting for him to stand up angrily, Zhang Ruoyang's agent came over and said, "Director Wang, I'm sorry. Ruoyang didn't eat in the morning. He had low blood pressure and is in a bad mood. Let's take a rest first. Everyone is tired too. Let me ask everyone to have coffee and film again later?"

　　Wang Can looked at Zhang Ruoyang's agent in front of him. Many thoughts flashed through his head. He finally closed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

　　When Li Zixi saw this, she didn't say anything and found Chen Pingping. The two of them went to rest.

　　Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Pingping whispered to Li Zixi: "Xixi, I didn't expect Zhang..."

　　Li Zixi immediately turned her head to look at her then said in a low voice, "Quiet!"

　　When Chen Pingping saw Li Zixi like this, she immediately shut her mouth and said, "Okay."

　　Li Zixi glanced at her and said, "Not only do not discuss with me, don't discuss with other people also. I don't want this news about him come from my side. Understood?"

　　Chen Pingping was taken aback for a moment. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, she quickly nodded.

　　"It's good that you understand. Except you can't tell others, don't post it online. Now that the hacking methods are so developed, it is easy for the IP address to be exposed."

　　Chen Pingping said quickly: "I know this. Wang jie said this during my training."

　　Li Zixi nodded and said: "As long as you know this."

　　Chen Pingping quietly said to Li Zixi: "Before, others told me, I didn't believe it. But now, I really feel that this saying is right: '*Entering this world, as deep as the sea. From then on the star becomes a slut'."

[*Entering this world, as deep as the sea. From then on the star becomes a slut - not entirely sure if I was able to grasp the correct translation but it basically mean that although celebrities have their glamorous lives, some have their shameful things behind] 

　　Li Zixi looked at her deeply and said: "The summary is really in place and the understanding is really deep. There are so many people who splash water. I don't even know when I have such an image in your heart."

　　When Li Zixi said the first two sentences, Chen Pingping was still proud and felt that she was getting praised by the boss. After the two sentences, she immediately became nervous and quickly explained: "Xixi, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you. It's not you."

　　Li Zixi glanced at her calmly and said, "Then what am I? Do you mean to say that I am not a star? Saying that, I am not within the scope of your scolding.

　　Chen Pingping was about to cry in frustration: "Boss, I am wrong, I will never talk casually anymore."

　　Li Zixi nodded, closed her eyes and said, "Hmm, 100 yuan deduction of your salary for every wrong sentence in the future."

　　Chen Pingping really wanted to cry this time: "Boss, don't..."

　　Li Zixi asked as if she hadn't heard her, "By the way, what's your salary now?"

　　Chen Pingping who's from the city replied: "The trial period is 2000 yuan."

　　Li Zixi said with sentiment: "That's still too little deduction. Let's deduct 1,000 yuan. If you make mistake twice, there will be no salary this month. Let's do it."

　　After talking, Li Zixi opened her eyes, patted Chen Pingping's arm and went out to shoot.

　　Chen Pingping was left alone in suffering. She was so regretful that her intestines turned green. She understood one thing today: Misfortune comes out of her mouth.

　　After the break, they filmed the shot twice more and finally, the director was satisfied.

　　Finally, here comes their lines. Li Zixi said one line, Zhang Ruoyang said one line.

　　Li Zixi looked at Zhang Ruoyang and said shyly: "Secret love is like green tea."

　　Zhang Ruoyang looked at Li Zixi and said with a smile: "Confess if you like him."

　　"Cut! Okay, let's call it a day." The director shouted. After he spoke, everyone relaxed.

　　Li Zixi smiled at Zhang Ruoyang. Unexpectedly, Zang Ruoyang didn't seem to see and put the green tea bottle on the table whispering: "I almost throw up with this terrible thing." He walked away with a dark face.

　　Li Zixi looked the direction he left. She retracted her gaze and frowned. If she hadn't been close, she wouldn't hear those words. She wondered in her heart, how did the actor with such a bad temper and so-so interpersonal relationship become popular? This person's character set is too different from the one that was *stir-fried.

[stir-fry - promoted]

　　However, this person is lucky to have a good agent.

　　Chen Pingping came over with something. She saw the scene just now and opened her mouth to ask what Zhang Ruoyang had just said. But when she thought of what Li Zixi had said to her during break, she closed her mouth knowingly.

　　Li Zixi walked over to say a few words with the director and said goodbye to the staff then she left with Chen Pingping. Don't bully the young and poor. These words also apply in the entertainment industry. No matter how small an actor is, you shouldn't look down on him, maybe one day he will fly into the sky. The same is true for directors. Who's to say that the director who shot the commercial today will not become well-known someday?

　　Li Zixi didn't want to gain anything from these people but the work of her parents in the previous life and her own experience made her naturally treat the staff around her friendly.
