Li Jiahua saved the clip and then looked up to see Jiang Xin, shy like a little woman, striking up a conversation with Ye Xian. He waved to call Ye Xian over, "Ye Xian, come and watch your scene!"
Ye Xian ran over and watched the entrance scene he had just filmed.
Li Jiahua asked, "Evaluate yourself, how was it?"
"A seven out of ten." After all, it was his first time tackling a male role and he still felt somewhat unfamiliar with it, but he thought he would do better later on.
"So humble at such a young age, I give it full marks!"
Director Li, famously critical, gave full marks, and yet no one around was surprised, because Ye Xian's performance was truly exceptional. Everyone was so excited and eagerly looking forward to seeing Young President Gu and Ning Xiner talk about love.
"This drama has always been about heart-wrenching content, but filming your scene just now, I felt a lot more relaxed and cheerful. I believe the audience will have a strong reaction too, but..." Li Jiahua pulled him aside, "Work is work, but you mustn't really fall for it. You're still young and shouldn't be dating so early, especially as a boy, it could affect your career."
"Dating?" Ye Xian looked puzzled at Li Jiahua, "Who?"
Seeing his puzzled expression, Li Jiahua knew he was completely clueless.
A flirtatious Little Prince in the play, yet so adorably oblivious in reality.
"Never mind, just a reminder for you."
Ye Xian replied, "Don't worry, director, other than acting, I don't care about anything else!"
"Smash!"
In a five-star hotel, Cheng Jingshu shattered a glass on the floor, splinters flying everywhere. Xiao Wen, while cleaning, accidentally cut her hand, screamed, and was scolded fiercely.
"What are you screaming for! Scream again and I'll smash it on you, believe it or not!"
Xiao Wen believed her.
To her fans, Cheng Jingshu was a gentle and beautiful goddess, and in the entertainment circle, an elegant and courteous lady. But only she knew how narrow-minded and foul-tempered she could be privately.
Sometimes, she would even pinch Xiao Wen to vent her anger.
"This Ye Xian, has he been possessed by a ghost? How has he completely changed as a person..." Cheng Jingshu paced anxiously around the room, thinking about Ye Xian's remarkable performance in the play today, the attention Director Li constantly gave him, and the screen time he took up right from his first appearance, her ire grew with every thought.
The drama was about to air next week, she would not allow him to steal her limelight.
After pacing for a long time, as if she had an idea, Cheng Jingshu stopped in front of Xiao Wen, "Xiao Wen, give me your Weibo account."
Xiao Wen said, "Sister Jingshu, what are you going to do?"
"Among my and Wanze's couple fans, aren't there many of Ye Xian's haters? Find a reliable one to capture some scandalous footage of Ye Xian on set! Thinking about making a comeback? I'll first send her to the depths of oblivion!"
"Ah?" Xiao Wen was scared, shaking her head repeatedly, "But that's against the drama crew's regulations, and if found out, it could be very damaging for you. Moreover, celebrities secretly connecting with fans, if that gets out, you'd be criticized."
"Just give it to me when I ask for it, what's with all this nonsense? That nobody Ye Xian, an eighteen-tier internet celebrity, do you think netizens will curse me for him? Even if it gets exposed, just say it's a personal act by a CP fan, unrelated to me, and that should settle it."
"But..."
Xiao Wen wanted to say more, but under her intimidating glare, she was rendered speechless and handed over the phone obediently.
In the CP fans of Cheng Jingshu and Jiang Wanze, there indeed were many of Ye Xian's haters.
In their eyes, Cheng Jingshu and Jiang Wanze were not only a couple on screen but also fiancées in real life, a match made in heaven. Ye Xian, talentless and lacking in etiquette, was considered too flattering even being called a homewrecker. All day long, he only followed Jiang Wanze around, annoying them, and hindering their enjoyment of the couple's sweet moments.
