Chapter 6, to hell with your "Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms" ! (2)

The assistant director spoke to me about today's matters

Li Shuhe glanced at her and gave a signal to Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi immediately took out a box of lunch from the bag and handed it to Wang Jiayu, saying, "You haven't eaten yet, have you"

Wang Jiayu, who was already very nervous, performed increasingly poorly under the triple pressure of Su You, the director, and Ye Feng, to the point where she even awkwardly misread her lines later on

Wang Jiayu glanced at her but remained silent, lowering her head as she walked towards the door. However, Su You stepped aside, blocking her path.

No, this is not what others see, but rather her own true reflection

Su You simply leaned against the door and said, "I won't let you, what can you do to me?"

"Step aside." Wang Jiayu lowered her head and repeated the phrase stiffly

Xiao Shi saw Wang Jiayu looking wilted like the stir-fried eggplant in a lunch box, and couldn't help but reach out to pat her shoulder, "It's okay, little chubby girl, Li Ge is just like that, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, you know that already."

Wang Jiayu responded absentmindedly, yet her gaze was completely captivated by the several boxes of takeout placed in front of the car. After a whole afternoon of shooting, she was now so hungry that her stomach was touching her back; if given a knife and fork, she could eat a whole cow

Wang Jiayu took off her costume and changed into her own clothes. Just as she was pulling up the zipper of her jacket, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open. She was startled and looked up to find that it was Su You who had entered.

Let, make way

Do you still remember what was said back then? I want to be like Luc Besson, to make a good film. If you say these pretty words just to win my sympathy, then I have truly wasted my heartfelt efforts.

Wang Jiayu plays a role in "The Seven Kingdoms" that is not heavily featured, yet holds significant importance. She portrays Princess Mu Jingshu of the Mu Kingdom, who has been in love with the left general of the Mu Kingdom since childhood. As the army of the Cheng Kingdom, which the female lead supports, advances, the king of the Mu Kingdom shows no ambition and intends to cede fourteen western cities in a bid for peace. Mu Jingshu goes to the border to boost morale, only to find that the soldiers are utterly lacking in fighting spirit. Donning armor, Mu Jingshu takes to the battlefield herself, but is injured and captured, with the Cheng army intending to use her as a hostage to gain greater benefits. However, Mu Jingshu chooses to take her own life before the army, and in her final moments recites the famous lines of Lady Hua Rui: "The king raises the surrender flag atop the city, how can I know in the deep palace? With one hundred and forty thousand men shedding their armor, is there not a single man among them?"

Li Shuhe's attitude was no more severe than on any previous occasion; it was merely a cool tone. However, to Wang Jiayu's ears, the disappointment in his tone was more frightening than ever before.

She also did not know what was wrong; the scenes that appeared in her mind while reading the script could not be expressed as she wished. She could recite every line of the script fluently and had carefully pondered the emotions of the characters, yet when she spoke, it came out as stiff as a tape recorder.

The meal provided by the crew was hardly commendable, consisting of a stir-fried pork intestine, a stir-fried celery with shredded meat, a stir-fried bok choy, and a fried egg. As Wang Jiayu received her portion and stood up, intending to find a quiet corner to be alone for a moment, she happened to bump into Su You, who was walking directly towards her.

She stood under a tree, quietly watching the leaves flutter, imagining the scene of herself acting alongside him

Are you watching Ye Feng

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Su You quickly stepped back and opened the door, only to find that the visitor was Wen Zhe, the second male lead of "The Seven Kingdoms Chronicles." She immediately displayed a flawless and perfect smile, saying, "Senior Wen, what brings you here"

Li Shuhe led her out of the theater, walking along the quaint and charming streets for approximately 500 meters, until an old residence from the Republic of China appeared before them

Wen Zhe glanced inside and said with a smile, "The crew's boxed meals have arrived"

So now that you have lost weight, what is the difference compared to before

Wang Jiayu was overjoyed and shouted "BOSS," immediately rushing over like a chick that had just spotted its mother hen

Wang Jiayu finished her boxed meal and sat quietly in the car for a while. After bidding farewell to Xiao Shi, she returned to the film crew. The crew was busy filming a night scene, with a group of people bustling around Ye Feng and the female lead.

Halfway through the meal, Li Shuhe suddenly spoke up and asked, "Why do you want to lose weight?"

As Wang Jiayu was about to pounce, Li Shuhe immediately extended his hand to signal a halt

She now weighs only a little over 100 pounds, and she has Li Shuhe, this top-notch agent. Riding on the coattails of Lin Guangyou, she became an overnight sensation, possessing such excellent resources and a strong starting point. However, others still see only the humble and timid figure cowering in the corner, the overweight person who does not dare to retort even when bullied and insulted.

Wang Jiayu took a deep breath, stood in front of the camera once more, and watched Ye Feng recite the lines: "Chuyun, although the Mu Kingdom is significant, you are even more so than the Mu Kingdom..."

"Don't be so formal, call me whatever you like," Wen Zhe said with a bright smile, revealing his white teeth

Wang Jiayu was startled and, coming to her senses, realized that she did not know when Wen Zhe had already walked up to her side

You ... ...

Oh, little international high.

As Wang Jiayu devoured his food ravenously, Li Shuhe lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly

Wang Jiayu shrugged her shoulders and looked up in the direction of the monitor.

As a result, the morale was greatly boosted, and Mu engaged in a fierce battle with both armies, falling into a state of stalemate

Wang Jiayu took it and looked at Xiao Shi with the grateful eyes of an oppressed serf seeing the Red Army, which gave Xiao Shi goosebumps. What kind of desperation must one be in to feel this way? It's just a box of meals, is it really that extreme?

Just call me Wenzhe

Li Shuhe let out a cold snort and said, "Come with me."

Upon hearing the words "boxed meal," Wang Jiayu, who had been wearing a gloomy expression, finally regained a bit of her spirit. Seizing the moment while Wen Zhe and Su You were still standing at the door, she slipped out from beside Su You and dashed towards the location where the boxed meals were being distributed.

CUT! Has your acting been eaten by a dog? Is this the kind of character that all of Mingkai's newcomers possess? If you cannot perform, have Li Shuhe replace you as soon as possible

"My patience is limited; I will not nurture worthless individuals without potential. Take care of yourself," Li Shuhe said, extinguishing the cigarette and picking up a box of takeout as he exited the vehicle

CUT! Have you read the script? Do you know what kind of character Mu Jingzhu is? Speaking like this, are you bidding farewell or cursing someone to death!

Wang Jiayu followed Li Shuhe into this residence from the Republic of China and discovered that it was the filming location for the movie "Dream of Shock." Those sitting on the threshold eating boxed lunches were all prominent figures in the entertainment industry.

Wang Jiayu noticed that Li Shuhe's expression was gloomy, which made her feel somewhat uneasy. However, given the ferocity of the director and the difficulties posed by Su You, Li Shuhe's icy demeanor seemed to her like a breath of fresh air.

Wang Jiayu held the chopsticks in her hand and lowered her head, murmuring "I am sorry".

Like in a Colgate advertisement, Wang Jiayu thought to herself. She noticed that Wen Zhe seemed much more approachable than she had imagined. After a moment of silence, she gathered her courage to look at him and asked, "Brother Wen, when you are acting, what do you do if you are unable to portray the state you have in mind?"

After running just a few steps, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her. She stopped, turned around, and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Li Shuhe standing under the tree

The director stood up and kicked the annoying water bottle at his feet hard, "For such a simple shot, you made the entire crew shoot it repeatedly for forty minutes! Is it not working? If it's not working, let's change the person early!"

Su You let out a cold laugh and said, "I warn you, do not think that being able to act alongside Ye Feng makes you remarkable. Today, I will tell you, Wang Jiayu, as long as I, Su You, am around, you can forget about having an easy time in this entertainment industry"

Wang Jiayu quickly shook her head, "No, no need." Saying this, she ran away swiftly

Wang Jiayu remained silent, quietly eating her meal

Ye Feng, who acted alongside Wang Jiayu, began to show signs of impatience as she repeatedly made mistakes during the filming

In the end, the director did not wish to waste any more time and decided to move the next shot forward. He declared that if Wang Jiayu showed no improvement by tomorrow, he would not hesitate to replace her. After all, Wang Jiayu had not successfully filmed a single shot so far, and replacing her was merely a matter of minutes.

Wang Jiayu silently zipped up the zipper and lowered her head without saying a word

Wang Jiayu stopped in her tracks, revealing a radiant smile, "BOSS, what brings you here"

CUT ! ''

The chicken leg that was caught between the chopsticks suddenly fell into the lunchbox, and Wang Jiayu displayed a look of astonishment

"What’s the matter? Is this trick of climbing onto the director's bed no longer effective?" Su You smiled brightly, but her words were incredibly harsh.

Su You, who is standing there eating preserved plums, displays a look of disdainful mockery regardless of what Wang Jiayu does or says

Zhouzhai Film and Television City is like this; you may have just been immersed in the Qin and Han dynasties, and with a turn, you find yourself in the Tang and Song dynasties

Cut! Jiang Chuyun is your lover, not the sword-bearing guard at your palace gate! Be more intimate!

Comrade Xiao Shi is therefore unable to comprehend the world of food enthusiasts

Ah, Jiayu, I am truly sorry, I did not mean to do that. I did not expect you to turn around suddenly. How about this... I will let you have my portion to eat.

Wang Jiayu was taken aback for a moment, casting a few glances at Li Shuhe from the food, "In order not to be ridiculed"

If you cannot find confidence within yourself, no amount of weight loss will be of any use to you. In your heart, you are still that same overweight person. Therefore, it is no surprise that you will continue to be ridiculed and bullied

BOSS, I ... ...

The lunch box fell solidly to the ground, and the golden fried egg was covered in dust.

Wang Jiayu returned to the dressing room with a dejected expression to change clothes

The first scene features Ye Feng portraying General Zuo, Jiang Chuyun, in a moment of parting with Mu Jingzhu before his expedition

Wang Jiayu got on the nanny van with Li Shuhe. As soon as she got in, Xiao Shi, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and smiled at her, "Little chubby girl, long time no see"

Wang Jiayu displayed a troubled expression and said, "Can I call you Brother Wen?"

Everyone is in a state of having consumed ammunition, ready to explode at any moment

"Literature, Senior Wen."

Wang Jiayu quietly gazed at Su You, silently holding her ground against her
