Chapter 87 - 87 Seven NGs
87 Seven NGs
Seeing that she was starting to show weakness, Wen Yufei smiled proudly in her heart.
But she still wasn’t out of character. “Bai Lan, do you like Xiao Chen?”
“I… I…” Shi Ran was at a loss. Her face still had the shyness of a little girl.
She smiled shyly, then realized something and looked up sharply. “Sister Yanrou, I didn’t…”
“I’m surprised Shi Ran didn’t get crushed.” Director Li placed the horn he had picked up back on the floor again. He looked hopeful as he continued to watch the monitor.
Wen Yufei was surprised.
Shi Ran was actually not suppressed by her.
“Sigh.” She sighed. She couldn’t bear it, but she still said, “Actually, Xiao Chen and I have been together for a long time.”
Shi Ran then took a step back when she heard this. His eyes were misty, and there was sadness, struggle, and confusion in them.
All emotion followed.
She gave Wen Yufei a sincere smile.
Despite the tears in her eyes, she still said, “I think… Sister Yanrou and Brother Xiao Chen are a good match!”
At this moment, a tear slid down the corner of her eye before finally disappearing into her beautiful hair.
Wen Yufei’s eyes trembled as she looked at Shi Ran. She opened her mouth but she forgot what she was going to say.
“Cut!”
Director Li turned to Wen Yufei. “What’s wrong, Yufei?”
Wen Yufei hurriedly restrained her emotions and smiled apologetically at Director Li. “I’m sorry, Director Li. I forgot my lines just now.”
“Then do it again.”
“Yeah.”
Wen Yufei nodded. When she looked at Shi Ran again, she was surprised.
‘That was a coincidence, wasn’t it?’
The moment Shi Ran stared at her, her mind went blank.
The second shot.
Everything was normal in front, but when she reached the last place, she was stuck again when she saw Shi Ran smiling with tears in her eyes.
“Cut! What’s going on, Yufei?” Director Li was confused.
At first, he thought that Shi Ran would not be able to handle Yu Fei’s scene.
Unexpectedly, Shi Ran gave him a big surprise.
Instead, Wen Yufei, who rarely NGed, NGed twice today.
Wen Yufei was also shocked.
She stared at Shi Ran in shock.
‘Not a coincidence!’
Shi Ran was suppressing her scene!
She had clearly investigated before. Her acting skills had always been terrible and she had been criticized for a long time.
But why could Shi Ran suppress her acting now?
“You…” Wen Yufei opened her mouth.
“What’s wrong? Sister Yufei, are you in a bad condition?” Shi Ran pretended to be concerned.
‘Suppressing her scenes?’
She had to get her approval first.
Wen Yufei’s eyes darkened.
She refused to believe it.
And yet a third time after that, and a fourth … and a seventh, she kept NGing.
She always forgot her lines at the last minute.
Director Li was also gradually getting frustrated. “Yufei, take a break and adjust your condition first!”
Wen Yufei managed a fake smile. “Of course, Director Li.”
She bowed to everyone. “I’m so sorry to have troubled you all.”
“Seven NGs. Isn’t Wen Yufei famous for one takes?”
“The fans must have made it up. Look, she’s showing her true colors.”
“I knew it. Personas are the worst.”
“She’s a movie queen, but she’s worse than Shi Ran. I thought Shi Ran’s acting was terrible, but she’s pretty good.”
“Right! I just saw her crying there. It made my heart ache.”
“Shi Ran, come here for a minute.” Director Li waved at Shi Ran.
When Shi Ran came over, he held his forehead helplessly. “Keep your aura down a little. If this continues, we won’t be able to finish filming until night.”
How could he not see through everything?
At first, Yufei wanted to suppress Shi Ran, but she did not expect that she would end up losing. Instead, she was forced to NG seven times.
Shi Ran blinked innocently. “Director Li, I think Sister Yufei is just not in a good state. She will definitely recover next time.”
“Oh, you.” Director Li laughed in spite of himself. “Don’t pretend for me. Control yourself later. Too much is as bad as not enough.”
“Got it.” Shi Ran retracted her pretentious look and agreed with a smile.
After Director Li finished, the eighth take went well.
When Wen Yufei said the last line, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She looked at Shi Ran and felt a lingering fear.
Returning to the dressing room, Wen Yufei thought of the scene just now and frowned.
As the panic faded, she thought of Shi Ran again, and she wanted to tear her apart.
“Sister Yufei, are you alright?” Xiao Qi handed her a bottle of water worriedly.
Wen Yufei raised her head and drank it. She smiled. “It’s fine. Shi Ran… Her acting skills are better than mine.”
“What do you mean? Do you mean that the NG just now was because…” Xiao Qi was dumbfounded.
“Yes.” Wen Yufei nodded. “I’m afraid that when the show airs, I’ll be inferior to her, the second female lead.”
“How could that be!” Xiao Qi said without hesitation.
Her mind raced. Suddenly, she clapped her hands. “Sister Yufei, isn’t the Wen family the biggest investor in this drama?”
Wen Yufei also reacted. “Xiao Qi, do you mean… you want my father to chase Shi Ran away?”
“That’s right! Sister Yufei, get CEO Wen to find the production team and kick Shi Ran out. When the time comes, we can just change the second female lead.”
Wen Yufei was a little vexed. “But I’m afraid that people will say that Dad is abusing his private rights.”
“That’s true.” Xiao Qi was instantly depressed. “If only there was a way to chase Shi Ran away openly.”
Wen Yufei looked at the phone on the table and pondered for a moment.
She smiled viciously and grabbed Xiao Qi’s arm excitedly. “Xiao Qi, I have an idea.”
… .
It was already night time after filming.
Shi Ran had changed into her own clothes and left the set with Fang Tongtong.
The two of them were already in Ji Wenfeng’s car.
“Are you tired?” Ji Wenfeng asked with concern.
“I’m okay.” Shi Ran’s expression was normal, and there was no sign of fatigue.
Seeing this, Ji Wenfeng was not surprised. “I’m a little busy today. I’ll accompany you to the set tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
“It’s precisely because Brother Feng wasn’t around today that Sister Ran was bullied. I didn’t expect to encounter so many weirdos the first time I came to the production team.”
Fang Tongtong was indignant.
“What happened?” Ji Wenfeng’s face darkened.
Next, Fang Tongtong told Ji Wenfeng everything that had happened on the set today.
Including the conflict between the dressing room and Gong Zhiling.
Ji Wenfeng frowned and blamed himself. “I should have gone with you today.”
“I can fix it.” Shi Ran closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat.
“I know you can handle it, but with me here, at least these people won’t dare bully you like this.”
Shi Ran yawned. “There aren’t many people in this world who can bully me.”
Ji Wenfeng laughed. “That’s true, but you should let me play the role of a manager.”
“Oh my God!” Fang Tongtong suddenly exclaimed.
“What is it?” Ji asked.
“Sister Ran is on the trending searches! Damn! Someone recorded the video of Sister Ran hitting Gong Zhiling in the dressing room today and posted it online.”
Shi Ran raised her eyebrows at the fierce eyes in the rearview mirror. “As you wish. You can play your role as a manager.”
