Chapter 468 - A Familiar Figure



Chapter 468: A Familiar Figure

Ling Sheng held her breath. She knew that it was her fault that things had developed this way. Her professionalism was not good enough, and she was not qualified for this job. However, when she heard his cold and heartless words, her heart ached. She was about to plead.

Chen Mo turned to look at her. “One night. The first scene we film tomorrow morning will be yours.”

Ling Sheng’s eyes lit up as she bowed respectfully. “Thank you, Director Chen. I promise to do the job well.”

Chen Mo took a look at her and said in a low voice, “I hope you can film the scene tomorrow morning. Don’t make me doubt your ability or my taste.”

He expected a lot from her, which was why he had been stricter with her. He had initially thought that she would give him a big surprise, but he had not expected her first scene to be filmed like this. It had made him start to wonder if she knew how to act. Where was her professionalism?

He knew that there was only one actress who would not film a kissing scene. However, that person was his sister. He had once pointed at her nose and indignantly scolded her for not being an actress. At the very least, she was not a qualified actress.

That was why she had left the entertainment circle and stopped being an actress.

The film crew had initially thought that Ling Sheng’s arrival would change the atmosphere of the set greatly. For example, they would be more relaxed and happier. After all, Director Chen Mo had been beaming since he had seen her.

However, in the afternoon, Director Chen Mo became irritable because of her. Everyone on the film site was worried about their own safety, so it was best not to pin their hopes on anyone.

Every week or so before filming started, Director Chen Mo would be in a sensitive mood. After one endured this period, the atmosphere would become more relaxed and joyful.

“Sheng Sheng, are you alright?” Fang Hua asked worriedly.

Ling Sheng shook her head. “I’m headstrong, so what could happen to me? Besides, it’s all my fault. Director Chen got angry because I didn’t film my scene well.”

Fang Hua patted her hand to comfort her. It was good that she thought that way. Yesterday, two actresses had been scolded until they’d cried. Director Chen had not even said anything harsh. If he had taught them a lesson like he had taught Sheng Sheng a lesson, they would have cried miserably.

Director Chen’s expectations of Sheng Sheng were too strict. He was stricter with her than with everyone else. Perhaps he had placed greater hopes on her!

Next, it was time for Fang Hua and Sheng Xichen’s scene. Although the duo also NGed, the overall situation was still alright. Basically, they cleared the scene after five takes.

Ling Sheng watched two scenes. The seniors’ lines and acting skills were really good. She had to admit that the capable actors were really impressive.

Later, while the supporting actors were filming their scenes, she found a quiet place to prepare herself after watching one scene. She was also angry at herself. It was not a big deal. It was a romantic scene. Why could she not do it?

She started reading the script from the start. After reading it twice, she looked up and saw that there was no one else on the filming site. She was huddled in a corner, so no one had noticed her.

As soon as she put away the script, she received a call from Chen Mo, who was asking where she was. Had she eaten? If she had not come down to eat, he would get someone to bring her.

“Director Chen, there’s no need. I can have some food by myself. Have a good time.” When Ling Sheng heard Chen Mo’s voice, her heart sank even more.

He had told her not to make him doubt her acting skills or his taste. Actually, the mental pressure he felt should be greater than hers. An actor he had thought highly of would not be able to complete her filming schedule.

There were two small roads from the film site to the place where she was staying. It was nearly nine at night, and there was no one on the street. It was very quiet.

Ling Sheng was thinking about the plot as she walked. How could she film the scene to achieve the best effect? However, when she turned a corner, she saw a familiar figure.

Gu Shen was surrounded by a few gangsters as he lay on the ground. After the gangsters had taken away his valuables, they’d started to strip him of his clothes.

While walking back to the homestay residence, he had suddenly been attacked from behind with an electric baton. His body had gone soft and numb, rendering him unable to muster any energy. He could only watch helplessly as the group of hooligans robbed him. There was a dangerous and bloodthirsty look in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Do you know who I am?”
