Chapter 267 – Who did this kid take after?! (2)
“Cut!” Ning Yang shouted, displeased with Guan Ming’s performance. “Guan Ming, let go of your emotions more. It’s too restrained. Don’t silently endure. You’re in front of the woman that you trust the most and love the most. Release your emotions!”
The makeup artist, who had been waiting outside the set, took this opportunity to fix up Guan Ming’s makeup.
Guan Ming nodded to indicate that he understood Ning Yang’s meaning.
It was currently late autumn, and the temperature had suddenly dropped a lot. Meng Jie was wearing a short cheongsam. During the brief moment when Ning Yang had called for a stop, she had put on a coat that the staff had brought her.
Meng Jie took this time to look over the script. In one of the moments when she was looking out, she saw Ye Zhen. She was somewhat taken aback. She hadn’t expected Ye Zhen to be here today. She quickly recovered and naturally smiled and nodded in acknowledgement.
After Ning Yang and Guan Ming discussed to clarify the points that Guan Ming had to pay attention to, they resumed filming. This time, Guan Ming had obviously grasped the mood he needed and it only took one take to finish the scene.
Ning Yang announced to the cast and crew that work was done for the day before walking over and apologetically smiling. He stretched his hand out to Lu Beichuan for a handshake. “Sorry for the remiss, Mr. Lu.”
Lu Beichuan stood up and shook his hand. He briefly said, “Director Ning, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you for a long time.”
Ning Yang had the self-knowledge to know that Lu Beichuan was just being polite. He was previously a person completely lacking in fame. This was Lu Beichuan’s first time meeting him.
While they were talking, the stars playing the protagonists in the move walked over. Meng Jie was still wearing that short cheongsam, which displayed her interesting curves. As she was walking over, she put on the coat that the staff had prepared for her.
She was such a dignified woman, and yet she could act out a great number of amorous feelings and flirtatious expressions. She was also able to brilliantly exhibit the allure of a beautiful, talented fallen woman to the fullest. It had to be said that Meng Jie was very suitable for acting.
Even Ye Zhen couldn’t look away from her. It was no wonder that You Jing, that mental case, had been pestering her for the past four years.
“Mr. Lu, let me introduce these two to you. These are the two leading actors for our movie, Guan Ming, Meng Jie.” After saying that, Ning Yang smiled as he looked at Ye Zhen. “Mrs. Lu, you should be familiar with them, so I won’t introduce them.”
Ye Zhen looked Ning Yang in the eyes. He looked like someone that had gone through tremendous changes. Perhaps, it was because Ning Yang had gained experience from filming for half a year. The most intuitive manifestation of this change was his bright eyes as well as his confidence that was bone-deep and his overflowing smile.
When she met Ning Yang the first time, he gave off the sense of inferiority. He didn’t dare to look her in the eyes, was ever fearful, nervous, and hesitant, and had a tendency to put himself down. He was different now. Calmness and self-confidence had already become a part of him.
“Mr. Lu, hello, I’m Guan Ming. Thank you very much for your investment in Qinhua’s Riverside.”
Next year marked the 10 year anniversary of Guan Ming in the entertainment industry. He had been in countless cast and crews and naturally understood what it meant for Lu Corporation to invest in this movie.
Lu Beichuan casually said, “Regarding the investment of this movie, my wife has sole say. She believes in the cast and the crew. I believe in my wife and I naturally believe you won’t disappoint me.”
Guan Ming was stunned. He turned to look at Ye Zhen.
Ning Yang called everyone over.
“Let me introduce someone to you guys,” Ning Yang said with a smile, “This is Mrs. Lu. She’s the producer of Qinhua’s Riverside. Everyone, let’s give her a round of applause.”
The staff and cast members were all shocked. They incredulously looked at each other. Under Ning Yang’s guidance, one after another, they started clapping after they recovered from their surprise.
Before today, other than Ning Yang and Meng Jie, the rest of the cast and crew didn’t know that Ye Zhen was involved in this movie, much less that she was the producer of this movie.
