"I, I just think Teacher Duan shoots well, and I want Teacher Duan to shoot for me," Fang Yanhuan stated her request.
Chen Tianming felt a headache coming on. You think someone shoots well, so they have to shoot specifically for you? Why don't you just buy out Duan Bin's schedule and have him shoot for you every day?
Complaining was complaining.
Persuading was still necessary.
Chen Tianming mulled it over in his mind before explaining, "The staff at Teacher Duan Bin's studio are all top-notch. You don't need to worry about these things. We just need to cooperate with them and strike a pose, understand?"
"But."
"Yanhuan, we have an opening ceremony and filming ahead. We can't waste too much time on this, okay?"
Hearing this, Fang Yanhuan could no longer hold back her tears, which began to fall.
"Director, what's going on?" Wen Wenlan, having changed his clothes, walked into the shooting studio. He saw a group of people surrounding the person he liked, and that person was standing there with tears of grievance. He couldn't help but step forward to intervene.
"Wenlan." Fang Yanhuan looked at Wen Wenlan with tearful eyes, appearing like a delicate flower in a storm.
"Don't be afraid, Yanhuan, I'm here." Wen Wenlan shielded Fang Yanhuan behind him, casting an displeased glance at Duan Bin, his gaze finally settling on Chen Tianming, "Director Chen, what are you doing?"
No matter how good Chen Tianming's temper was, being inexplicably accused would make him angry. Coupled with Fang Yanhuan's actions just now, it was clear she was implying they were bullying a young girl. "What can I do? Actor Wen Lan, what do you think we can do to Fang Yanhuan?"
Wen Wenlan's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly recovered, "Director Chen, I didn't mean it like that."
"Then what did you mean?"
"I, I just..." Wen Wenlan took a deep breath and said firmly, "I just saw Yanhuan crying, so..."
"Stop. Let me ask you, do you know what happened?"
Wen Wenlan shook his head. He had just changed and stepped out the door when he saw Yanhuan's assistant anxiously waiting for something. Before he could ask what happened, the assistant grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the studio.
As soon as he entered, he saw everyone surrounding Yanhuan, and with Yanhuan crying, he instinctively thought she was being bullied.
"So, all of this is the actor's own assumption, isn't it?" Chen Tianming was almost amused to the point of anger. He had filmed with Wen Wenlan before and thought he was a steady young man. How had he become so impulsive?
"I was just too worried."
"What is all this, wasting our time."
"Exactly. Teacher Duan didn't do anything wrong. He gets tired too. What's wrong with switching? Isn't it to ensure quality? And she, seeing that someone else wanted Teacher Duan to shoot, insisted on Teacher Duan shooting for her too."
"Perhaps she thinks Fang Miaomiao's photos are better."
"I used to like Fang Yanhuan a lot, but today she seems so petty, wanting to compete for everything."
"Tch, she's just jealous. Anyway, I think Fang Miaomiao is much better than Fang Yanhuan now. The actor too, he rushed in without understanding the situation?"
Hearing the whispers around him, a trace of displeasure appeared on Wen Wenlan's handsome face. "Director."
"Alright, how we shoot, and who shoots, I've completely handed that over to Teacher Duan's studio. I trust Teacher Duan, and I trust everyone in Teacher Duan's studio. If any of you find it troublesome, then pay for it yourselves and hire your own photographer." Chen Tianming was not about to indulge them. "If you can't find one, then just suck it up and shoot properly."
"Wenlan."
Wen Wenlan shook his head at Fang Yanhuan, "Yanhuan, as Director Chen said, every employee in Teacher Duan's studio is very skilled."
Fang Yanhuan sniffled, but she knew that making a scene would be of no benefit. She could only nod and bow to the surrounding staff to apologize.
Wen Wenlan stepped aside, sent his assistant to buy milk tea, and quietly stood by to watch Yanhuan film.
However...
Wen Wenlan frowned. Yanhuan's state...
As expected, in the next second, the photographer couldn't help but ask Fang Yanhuan to adjust her gaze, "Your expression is wrong. Be more fierce. You are Ruolan now, and Chen Yao is opposite you. You and Chen Yao are in a deadly rivalry."
Fang Yanhuan changed her expression.
"The light, your eyes." After taking a few shots, the photographer reluctantly put down his camera and gently suggested, "Miss Fang, why don't you find your feeling somewhere else?"
Shooting like this not only wasted time but also film.
Didn't they say Fang Yanhuan was a good actress? Why wasn't he getting anything from her?
"Could it be the lighting?" Wen Wenlan asked.
"Actor Wen Lan, if it were a lighting issue, we would naturally say it was our own people," the photographer said with a forced smile.
Duan Bin, standing nearby, also had a troubled look on his face. Honestly, he rarely encountered actors who lacked a sense of the camera, didn't realize it, and thought they were performing well.
"How about we just shoot a few shots and then edit them?" Chen Tianming tentatively asked.
"Director Chen, why are you in such a hurry this time?"
Chen Tianming rubbed his nose, "I had someone cast a hex."
Duan Bin knew that the director would consult a master for a hex before determining the date when starting a new play.
"Where did you find someone to cast a hex?"
Normally, people wouldn't pack their schedules so tightly.
"Qing Dao Temple."
"What place?"
"It's near City A. I'm telling you, that old man said today's date is particularly auspicious, and given that my subject matter is a bit sensitive, everything must be completed today." Chen Tianming said mysteriously, "I'm telling you, when casting the hex, the old master also told me that if things don't go smoothly today, they won't go smoothly afterward."
Duan Bin raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure today can be completed?"
Chen Tianming thought of Fang Yanhuan earlier with a strange expression, "There's no other way, right? How about we do as I said earlier?"
"That won't do." Duan Bin popped a piece of gum into his mouth and picked up his camera. "Aren't you damaging my reputation?"
"Help me out?"
"A middle-aged person in their fifties, about to enter the ranks of the elderly, please don't act cute, okay?" Duan Bin got up. "Just this once."
"Thank you, Duan Bin. I'll send you a big red envelope later."
"Xiao Xu, I'll do it."
Upon hearing his boss's words, Xiao Xu felt as if he had heard the sound of heavenly music. "Boss."
"Go ahead," Duan Bin waved dismissively. "Miss Fang Yanhuan, I hope we can cooperate happily."
Fang Yanhuan took a deep breath, "Cooperate happily."
Perhaps it was the competitive spirit ignited, but Fang Yanhuan's gaze this time was much better than before.
"Look at me, with jealousy."
"Jealousy?"
"Didn't you read the script? To a certain extent, Ruolan is jealous of Chen Yao," Duan Bin said, fiddling with his camera.
