Lin Mingxi nodded and asked, “Which episode are we filming now?”
“We’ve been following the filming schedule and we’ve already filmed two episodes.”
“Alright, do as you deem fit. You don’t have to rush the progress, just ensure that the quality is satisfactory. I believe in your abilities, Director Jing.”
Jing Tian smiled and asked softly, “About... Ms. An...”
Staring at him, Lin Mingxi asked, “Did the crew members mention anything about her the past few days?”
“No, no one dares to talk about her openly, but online... I’ve seen the news about the negotiation falling through. Will Ms. An be alright?”
“We don’t know yet for now, but I’m sure Xiaoning will be able to overcome all odds with her strong abilities. You don’t have to worry about the funds. Xiaoning has already transferred the money she’s investing to our joint bank account previously. You just have to focus on filming. Don’t worry about the rest,” Lin Mingxi answered calmly.
Jing Tian nodded and said, “I’m not worried about the funds, I’m just worried about Ms. An. But I feel much more relieved after hearing what you’ve said.”
Not wanting to tell him the truth, Lin Mingxi said, “I understand that you and Ms. An have worked on a film together before and you two are close friends. How should I put it? Well, Xiaoning is stuck in a bit of a knotty situation now. Get the crew members to stop making guesses and speculations. The most important thing to do now is to focus on filming the drama properly. I’ll inform you if there’s any progress.”
“Alright.”
“I was observing the filming earlier, and the lead actress seems to be doing a great job. She doesn’t have the acting chops of a newbie at all. I have a ton of faith in this drama series.”
“Yes, Erlan is a very skilled actress, although she’s young and has freshly graduated from the theater arts academy. It feels like she’s one with the character she’s playing. Even the male lead thinks so and has been pretty satisfied with her so far.”
Pointing at a speaker, Lin Mingxi said, “Bring that to me, I’d like to have a few words with everyone.”
“Alright.” Jing Tian stepped forward to hand her the speaker.
“Hey, everyone, come here. Stop what you’re doing and listen to me while I say a few words to you guys,” Lin Mingxi yelled into the speaker.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and listened to her quietly.
“I’m Lin Mingxi, one of the investors of this drama series. This is a multi-million-dollar production, and I hope to produce a splendid and impressive drama series. All of you are members of this production team, and I hereby guarantee that the funds available are more than enough. We won’t delay the payment of every actor and crew member. All of you must possess moral work ethics and keep the image of the team squeaky clean. If you find out about any unethical behavior going on within the team, please inform me by sending me an email. I’ll fire anyone who gets up to any sordid business immediately after investigating and verifying the culprit. My email address is...”
Everyone began applauding boisterously at the end of her speech. There were rarely any investors who would make such a huge promise to the production team. Hence, the crew members were all at ease and determined to put their best foot forward in their respective work areas.
“Stop looking, she’s already left,” said Yan Ge, smacking Fang Erlan’s head with the script booklet.
She looked up to see that he was standing beside her with his eyes fixed on her.
Fang Erlan immediately looked away and hung her head low to read her script.
Yan Ge took a seat on the chair beside her and asked, “Do you have any scenes for this afternoon?”
“No, I’ll get to rest for half a day. What about you?”
“Me neither. But I won’t be getting a break, I have to film a commercial in the city.”
“Isn’t it tiring to film commercials?” Fang Erlan asked curiously.
Yan Ge could tell that she had been living a cloistered life. “Have you never starred in a commercial before?”
“Are you mocking me?”
“Since you don’t have any scenes to film for this afternoon, would you like to follow me to the set? You’ll get to see for yourself what filming a commercial really is like.”
“May I?”
“Sure.”
Beaming with joy, Fang Erlan answered, “Alright then, call me when you’re setting off in the afternoon.”
“I’ll be heading to the set immediately by car once I’m done filming my scene for this morning. Just get inside my car after you’re done changing into your clothes.”
“Alright.”
The only reason Yan Ge agreed was because he wanted a massage during the journey there and back, which would take more than an hour.
Ever since filming commenced, she would give him a long massage every day, which helped relieve the pain and soreness in his back, allowing him to film with much more ease.
Well, wouldn’t it be a waste not to make use of a free masseuse?
After filming for the day ended, his assistant Xiao Li asked worriedly, “Brother, the paparazzi have been keeping close tabs on you incessantly. What if they see you bringing Ms. Fang along and mistake you two for being in a relationship?”
“It so happens that we’re both acting as a couple in this drama series. I reckon Director will be pleased if the paparazzi were to snap photos of us together. It’d be free publicity. Well, it’s not real anyway, whatever,” Yan Ge answered nonchalantly.
As soon as they got inside the nanny van, Yan Ge immediately caught sight of two large bags of items in the back seat. A frown creased his forehead and he asked, “What’s this?”
“They’re all presents for you from your fans. I told them to stop giving you things because you don’t accept gifts. However, I couldn’t seem to stop their enthusiasm, and they ran away immediately after leaving the presents here. I had no choice but to accept them on your behalf.”
Yan Ge sat down and did not say anything else. Xiao Li grabbed the two bags and handed it to him. “Brother, look, these are what your fans made for you.”
Yan Ge took the item from his hands to see that it was a large scrapbook that contained an array of photos of himself, as well as some handwritten messages. He could tell that the person who made the scrapbook was extremely meticulous and had put in a great ton of effort. He decided to read all the messages since they were heartfelt notes written by his loyal fans.
But!
While there were pure and loyal fans, there were also those who were twisted!
Yan Ge was thrown into a state of frenzy and exasperation the moment he opened a gift bag and saw a used sanitary pad inside.
At the same time, Fang Erlan happened to open the door of the van, only to be greeted with that bewildering sight before her. She was flabbergasted.
Yan Ge immediately flung the gift bag away. An awkward tension filled the air as he continued to pretend as if everything was fine.
Fang Erlan opened the door, picked up the gift bag, and got out of the car again. Yan Ge craned his neck to see that she had disposed of the gift bag into the trashcan nearby before walking back to the car.
She got up the car again and closed the door while Xiao Li began driving.
Fang Erlan took a look at the large bags of gifts and asked, “Are they all from your fans?”
“Yes...” Yan Ge answered.
Reminded of her daily mandatory task, Fang Erlan said gleefully, “Let me give you a massage.”
He reclined his seat backward and leaned back against it. “Here.”
There was a gap between Fang Erlan and his seat and it would be uncomfortable to stretch her arms out that far. Thus, she bent forward and attempted to stand up, only to have him hold her down.
Yan Ge had been enjoying a massage from her every day and closed his eyes in comfort.
“Harder please.”
Fang Erlan tightened her grip on his shoulders and massaged him with all her might.
All of a sudden, Xiao Li slammed the brakes and the car came to an immediate halt. Fang Erlan lost her balance and fell forward onto the back of Yan Ge’s seat.
“Ugh...” Xiao Li grunted with a frown on his forehead.
Fang Erlan frantically stood up. “What’s wrong?” she asked Xiao Li, slightly displeased.
