I am a leader in the entertainment industry

Chapter 20: A Special Love

《The filming of”Startling by Each Step” took about three months. As time went on, Na Xiaozha also joined the crew.

Na Xiaoza plays Guo Luoluo Mingyu in the play. When she puts on the costume, she deserves the evaluation of being born with talent.

“Boss!” Na Xiaoza trotted over to Li Qi and said jokingly with a smile.

“No, don’t call me boss, it makes me sound like a fat capitalist!” Li Qi said, cupping his hands towards Na Xiaozha.

After thinking for a while, he said to Na Xiaozha again:”At school, you can still call me senior, and after school, just call me Brother Qi! After all, we are both artists of the same company, haha···！”

“OK, Brother Qi!” Na Xiaozha was very happy. She felt that calling him this way made her feel closer.

“Did your father’s surgery go well?” Li Qi asked with concern.

“”It went smoothly. Dad can get out of bed and walk now, but the doctor said he needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a while!” Na Xiaozha said happily, without any sadness on her face. She knew that many families fell back into poverty due to illness, and even broke up their families. So Na Xiaozha remembered Li Qi’s help deeply in her heart, thinking that she must repay him.

“Brother Qi, my mother told me to say thank you.’！”After Na Xiaoza finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Li Qi to express his gratitude.

Li Qi accepted her bow, which was the right thing to do, and said to Na Xiaozha:”I am happy for you too. Study acting well in the future. The company will strive for good performance opportunities for you. If you have any problems, you can also find me, your senior. I will definitely help you if I can. You know, I am not short of money!”

“whee······Okay, Brother Qi, my mother also said······”Na Xiaoza was a little embarrassed to continue speaking, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Li Qi didn’t pay attention and asked,”What did Auntie say?”

Na Xiaozha mustered up her courage and whispered to Li Qi,”My mother told me to repay you!” Then her ears turned red quickly, as if she could see it with her naked eyes.

“cough cough······”Hearing Na Xiaozha’s words, Li Qi’s mind instantly imagined eighteen different scenes. He quickly suppressed his excitement and said,”Na Xiaozha, Brother Qi, I’m going to go and rehearse with Brother Hu first. You should also prepare well!” After that, he went in the direction where Brother Hu was resting.

Na Xiaozha looked at Li Qi’s hurriedly leaving back, smiled slightly, clenched her hands gently, and thought to herself: It seems that Brother Qi likes me a little bit, I must work hard!

On the other hand, Liu Shishi has not been able to get into the best state in the last few scenes. She always makes mistakes or laughs during the filming process. The continuous NG makes her nervous.

Liu Shishi calmed down her nervous mood and walked towards Director Lin Jianfen’s lounge. That’s right, in order to make the next shooting smoother, Director Lin Jianfen had to have a good chat with Liu Shishi.

“How will Director Lin criticize me later?”She felt a little ashamed after making several mistakes in a row.

“Tuk Tuk······”The little hand knocked on the door of Director Lin Jianfen’s lounge.

Lin Jianfen is in her forties, and as the crew travels around, she looks a little thin. But she gives people the impression of being refined, and her personality is also impetuous and resolute.

I started out as an assistant to a senior director in a film crew, and after continuous efforts along the way, I finally got the director’s baton. One work after another, I have established a firm foothold in the industry.

With nearly twenty years of experience in filming TV series and TV dramas, he certainly knows how to manage a crew and how to train actors. To put it bluntly, he has experienced everything on a crew!

Director Lin Jianfen opened the door and let Liu Shishi in. She noticed that Liu Shishi didn’t dare to look at her at this time, and thought to herself:”It seems that we can’t just criticize her blindly. We should encourage her more.””

“Shishi, come in and sit down!” Lin Jianfen moved a chair from the side and sat down on another chair.

“Thank you, director!” Liu Shishi held the back of the chair with her hands, organized her words and said,”Director, I’m sorry! I haven’t been in the right state for these few scenes. I will definitely adjust myself as soon as possible.”

“Shishi, don’t be nervous, it’s nothing, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Let’s not talk about this for now, come, sit down!” Lin Jianfen stepped forward to comfort her, took Liu Shishi’s hand and said:”Just treat us as friends, we are just chatting casually, you can ask me if you encounter any problems during filming, I have more experience than you, maybe I can help you”

“Director, I actually did a pretty good job in the first few scenes, and I was able to get into them, but I couldn’t let go of the later scenes, and I kept thinking about other things.” Liu Shishi said to Lin Jianfen seriously

Lin Jianfen thought about it and realized it was true, so she asked,”You can’t let go of Brother Hu, are you feeling a little embarrassed?”

“When I was filming scenes with Brother Hu, I was always thinking about other things and couldn’t let go of my emotions.”Liu Shishi said embarrassedly

Especially the upcoming intimate scenes with Hu Ge, which made her more and more entangled. Although Li Qi has not mentioned this to her, since she confirmed her relationship with Li Qi, she has set a requirement for herself that she should pay attention to physical contact with the opponent actors in future filming. After all, it is a TV series and there is no need to shoot such intimate scenes.

So his words somewhat revealed the meaning of being frank with the director!

Director Lin Jianfen looked at the somewhat shy Liu Shishi and asked with some speculation:”Shishi, are you hiding something from me?”

“without···No, Director.”Liu Shishi replied with a guilty conscience, wondering if I should admit it.

Lin Jianfen then said,”Shishi, I have been in this industry for many years and have seen a lot of things. Some actors fall in love with their co-stars because they want to make a good movie. But this kind of feeling comes and goes quickly.”

“A crew is closed for several months, and the male and female actors see each other every day, so there are too many cases of falling in love because of a play and breaking up because the play is finished! Shishi, I think you will be famous when this play is broadcast, so don’t be confused at this time!”

She was telling the truth. There were many casual lovers on the set, especially the so-called couples on the set. In the acting industry, the men are often handsome and the women are pretty. They spend a lot of time together on the set, so it is common for them to fall in love with each other.

This kind of thing is an open secret in the crew. As long as the actors do not affect the filming, the director is too lazy to care. Some directors encourage male and female actors to fall in love with each other for the sake of filming effect. What’s even more hateful is that some male actors take the opportunity to add intimate scenes with actresses through the director and play with each other’s feelings.
