My Hubby Can t Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 709: Chapter 711: At the Door (2)

“It’s okay, just go on with your shooting, don’t worry about us.” Yu Sixing waved his hand outspreadingly, giving full space to Director Zhao. Only then did Director Zhao nod and, seizing the time to set up scenes, call the main actors over to discuss the play.

Script in hand, Xue Feifei didn’t once glance in the direction of Yu Sixing and his party, nor did she look at Huang Qichu and Yu Sihua. However, she maintained a certain distance from Huang Mi, Yirou, and herself. Huang Mi kept his distance purely to avoid suspicion, while Xiang Yirou was scared off by the fight yesterday.

She had been beaten up by Xue Feifei under the pretext of shooting yesterday. After taking a bath at night, her wrists, chest, and arms were all bruised. She dare not act rashly anymore after such a heavy strike, keeping herself far from Xue Feifei during shoots, unless necessary.

After discussing the play and rehearsing several times, Director Zhao finally started shooting. The second female lead had to confront the male and female leads. This time, Xue Feifei kept making mistakes, while Xiang Yirou wasn’t doing any better. Either she stood too far away from Xue Feifei, out of the shot, or she looked timid, more like seeing a head teacher than a rival in love.

Even Director Zhao was unsatisfied: “We’ve wasted seven takes already, how many more do you plan to ruin? If we can’t finish it, don’t even think about resting today.”

Xue Feifei took a deep breath, suppressing the messy emotions in her heart, immersing herself in the world of acting. Xiang Yirou also adjusted her emotions. Although she didn’t perform as well as others hoped, everyone else did fine.

Undeterred, Director Zhao shot another take, where everyone’s emotions were on point and the timing was excellent. Only then was Director Zhao satisfied.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhimei had been switching between Yu Sixing and the actors throughout. But Yu Sixing wasn’t interested in the play at all, he was engrossed in his phone. When Qin Zhimei looked back, she saw him receive a message, the accompanying picture was of Xue Feifei.

“What’s this?” Qin Zhimei blew up instantly. Why would there be a picture of that woman in his phone?

Yu Sixing calmly explained, “The second female lead has never been officially announced by our crew. The plan was to keep it under wraps for a while and promote it closer to the release. But now due to the hot search issue, we decided to release some official shots and audition shots while we still have the hype, to seize the chance for some marketing. This is that picture. I’m an investor, so they showed me. Is there a problem?”

Qin Zhimei was suddenly short of words. Less than three minutes later, as it turned out, the official blog of the movie released the same promotional image. They rode on the momentum and before long, the name appeared on the hot search list.

Qin Zhimei had nothing to say, but when Huang Qichu heard about it, he secretly logged onto Weibo and searched for the picture, saving it. He didn’t dare let anyone see, especially his wife. After saving it, he acted as if nothing happened and kept watching the shoot.

Once the scene was finished, it marked the end of the morning’s shoots. They would normally settle for a quick boxed lunch, but with Qin Zhimei around, how could she possibly settle for a ten-dollar boxed meal? She had already reserved lunch and feigningly invited everyone on the crew, a chance for her to observe.

Even though Yu Sixing hosted the meal, the main table couldn’t accommodate more than ten people. Xue Feifei didn’t want to sit at the main table, but Qin Zhimei called her over: “Hey, you there, the second female lead, sit here.”
