“Thank you, Teacher Gu, for doing so much for me.”
Yun Xi lowered his head, not wanting him to see his dejected expression.
“No need to thank me, I’m also doing this for myself. It would be good for us to end work earlier.” Filming was the most fastidious thing and if they continued to drag it on, it would only make each other physically and mentally exhausted, Gu Linyan did not want to waste any more time.
Yun Xi tried her best to squeeze out a smile, but her pale face was still exposed under the light.
Gu Linyan only took one look before he turned his head to the side and extended his hand to beckon the make-up artist to touch up Yun Xi’s make-up. “Sister Li, please help her touch up her make-up. I’ll go and talk to the director.”
“Alright, don’t worry, leave it to me.”
Since they were going to continue filming in a while, Gu Linyan did not put on his coat and walked towards Director Zhao’s lounge in his slippers.
“What is the Best Actor Gu doing here? Is there something you need me for?” It was not the first time Director Zhao and Gu Linyan were working together. They were both familiar with each other’s temperaments and there was nothing to be polite about.
“Of course, I want you to increase my pay for the film.” Gu Linyan consciously found a chair and sat down, just in time to sit side by side with Director Zhao.
Director Zhao gestured for him to sit on his shoulder and scolded him jokingly: “Go to Hell, don’t give me that. It’s not like you don’t know how much money I have in my hands. If you have anything to say, say it now. The shooting will start in five minutes.”
“It’s fine if you don’t agree. When the shooting starts, you can bring all the unnecessary staff out. Just leave the film crew here.”
Gu Linyan had already expected such an answer and his expression did not change at all.
On the contrary, Director Zhao was a little surprised. After knowing Gu Linyan for so long, this was the first time he had seen Gu Linyan go this far for someone else.
“When did you become so considerate? Is Yun Xi really your girlfriend?”
“What kind of joke is this? I’ve only just met her, alright? As a director, don’t you want the shooting to go a little smoother?” Gu Linyan did not expect the director to say this and was so scared that he almost jumped up from his chair.
Director Zhao sized him up from head to toe and finally retracted his gossipy soul.
“Alright, fine, fine, I’ll listen to you. How can I not listen to what the best actor says?”
“Don’t forget.”
Gu Linyan could not be bothered to bicker with him. After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
Although the rest period was only a short fifteen minutes, Yun Xi did not let herself be idle. After she was done with her makeup, she began to lie on the bed and read the script, wishing that she could see through the words.
Seeing this, Gu Linyan immediately went over and pulled out the script from her hands and threw it aside.
“Stop reading it. It’s just a few lines. Don’t tell me you can see any other tricks?”
“No, I’m just purely nervous and I don’t know what to do.” Yun Xi mumbled and sat up obediently.
Most of the staff at the scene had already left, leaving only a few scattered people standing guard in front of the machine.
“Why are they all gone? Isn’t it going to start soon?”
Yun Xi noticed this and could not help but ask.
Gu Linyan took off his shoes and sat by the bed, his hands touching her ankles. “Don’t worry about them. Didn’t you not know what to do? Let me teach you.”
“What?!”
Before Yun Xi could react, she was pulled into Gu Linyan’s arms in the next second, her arms pressed tightly against his chest.
“I said, I’m going to kiss you.”
Gu Linyan raised his eyes to look at Yun Xi. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, which made her soften instantly..
