Chapter 187: As Good as Ever

At this moment, Li Fanjin said coldly, "You can persuade your dad to surrender quickly. That way, his sentence might be reduced."

Qin Qiao'er's expression was unreadable at this moment. She looked like a rigid wooden doll. "Okay, thank you. I'll tell my dad when I get back.

Please never show up in front of me again. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and do something bad to you. Next time we meet, I won't be so polite."

Qin Qiao'er seemed to be suppressing her emotions as she said this. All that was left for Li Fanjin in her heart was hatred. She didn't want their relationship to turn out like this.

..."Cut!"

At the director's call, Qin Qiao'er and Li Fanjin immediately relaxed. They glanced at each other and smiled. Once again, they had completed the scene without any NG.

They thought the shooting was over, but unexpectedly, the director remained silent while the man beside him, Brother Zhi, spoke up.

"Qin Qiao'er, when you're about to leave at the end, you should seem even more nonchalant. You've already realized that you mean nothing to him, and you're a strong - willed person. You can't expose your weakness to others."

Qin Qiao'er nodded and humbly took note of Brother Zhi's advice.

When Brother Zhi first started speaking, everyone looked at the man beside the director in surprise. They thought he was just a friend of the director who came to watch the filming.

But this man watched so intently, his eyes hardly leaving the monitor. By the end of the shooting, before the director could say anything, this man spoke first.

Li Fanjin initially thought the same way. He had no idea who this man was and had never seen him before. But the words this man said to Qin Qiao'er made him realize that this man had something.

Then Brother Zhi continued, "Li Fanjin, you did a good job, but I think you still have room for improvement. You can try to stop Qin Qiao'er when she's leaving, but quickly let go of her hand right after you grab it."

After hearing what Brother Zhi said, the director nodded repeatedly and then said to the two of them, "Okay, act according to what this teacher said. Let's do it one more time."

The director said it so naturally, not caring at all that his role as the director seemed to have been taken over by the man beside him. He himself seemed like an assistant.

Since the director didn't mind, others didn't dare to say anything. Moreover, this man seemed so professional and his words made sense, so they had to suppress their doubts.

They acted the scene again according to Brother Zhi's instructions. After this take, Brother Zhi still frowned, as if deep in thought.

After that, he kept giving Qin Qiao'er and Li Fanjin suggestions on their acting skills. Finally, this scene was completed under Brother Zhi's strict guidance.

After filming this scene, they went down to take a break. There were still other scenes to shoot.

Qin Qiao'er was already used to Brother Zhi's way of doing things. She had been scolded by Brother Zhi like this in the theater.

She was just worried that Li Fanjin might not be used to it. The director usually didn't have so many and such complex requirements. He always let them play freely, but Brother Zhi was extremely strict.

After the filming, Qin Qiao'er wanted to have a good chat with Brother Zhi. But seeing Brother Zhi sitting in front of the monitor with a solemn expression, talking to the director, she decided to give them some time.

She followed Li Fanjin to his lounge. Li Fanjin complained, "Who was that guy just now?"

Qin Qiao'er said embarrassedly, "That was my master. He taught me acting. He used to be the owner of a theater. Now that the theater has closed down, he came to help me with my acting."

Qin Qiao'er also told Li Fanjin what had happened between Brother Zhi and the director. She said that Brother Zhi came to see her today and happened to meet the director.

Li Fanjin understood after hearing this. The two of them were resting there. Li Fanjin was the only one other than Qin Qiao'er who knew about this.

Qin Qiao'er planned to have a good meal with Brother Zhi after he and the director finished guiding today's shooting. But unexpectedly, while she was in Li Fanjin's lounge, she received a text message from Brother Zhi.

"I'm leaving. I'm going to have dinner with your director. Don't worry about me. I'll come again when I have time. You did a great job today."

After receiving this text message, Qin Qiao'er was speechless. Brother Zhi came to see her, but in the end, he was taken away by the director.

But thinking that they hadn't seen each other for so many years and must have a lot to talk about, Qin Qiao'er was considerate enough not to disturb them.

When filming the next day, Qin Qiao'er found that the director had become very kind. When he saw her, he often showed an inexplicable smile.

Although there was a lot of relief in this smile, Qin Qiao'er still found it very strange. Usually, the director was very serious on the set and treated them very coldly. He had never been so amiable before.

The director was kind to Qin Qiao'er because she was Brother Zhi's disciple, which made her like his junior sister. Whenever he saw Qin Qiao'er, he couldn't help but feel very kind.

Last night, when he was having dinner with Brother Zhi, they talked about Qin Qiao'er. The director said to Brother Zhi, "No wonder I think Qin Qiao'er is so talented in acting. It's because you taught her."

Brother Zhi was very proud. "Of course. Look at whose student she is."

Li Fanjin wasn't surprised to see the director being nice to Qin Qiao'er. After hearing the story last night, he thought it was only natural.

But some people in the crew who didn't understand what was going on found it strange. They didn't understand why the usually serious director suddenly treated Qin Qiao'er so well.
