Chapter 824: It should be fine, right?

~8 min read 1,411 words

And Tan Yue, needless to say, Shen Li treated him as a friend and introduced him to Brother Bo to sign with the same company.

Helping him was equivalent to helping Brother Bo, and also equivalent to internal resource allocation within the company; the fat water didn't flow into outsiders' fields.

"No need to say words of thanks. Just treat me to a meal once you get the role."

Having obtained such a good opportunity, the grievances Wang Ziyu had accumulated in the crew over these few months seemed to be released all at once.

She consoled herself that no matter what kind of environment she was in or what kind of things she encountered, there would always be good and bad.

Those good things might not all happen to her, and the same went for the bad things.

As long as one persists and doesn't give up, there will always be a time when the clouds part and the sun shines!

"Ziyu!"

Just after leaving Shen Li's dressing room, Wang Ziyu was looking for a quiet place to try hard to practice those few sentences of English in the script, when she was called out by Guangrong.

"What's wrong, Guangrong?"

At this moment, there were only the two of them, so Guangrong stepped forward cautiously and said: "I heard what the director said on set when I went to look for you just now. You... you don't know English?"

Wang Ziyu shook her head frankly: "Not very well. I... I didn't continue school after graduating from junior high."

Moreover, Director Gu Lian required her to say those few sentences of English very authentically, which was the hardest part. She had tried her best just to say them completely.

"Can't you dub it?"

"No, Director Gu Lian's films all use the actors' original voices. Using dubbing for English suddenly would seem very abrupt."

Guangrong nodded in understanding and hesitated for a moment: "Can you let me see it?"

Wang Ziyu found those few sentences of English. Guangrong looked at them simply and said: "It's not hard. I'll teach you."

"Okay!" Wang Ziyu was overjoyed and nodded happily to accept.

Guangrong pursed his lips honestly: "Don't worry, I might not be able to help with other things, but my English is pretty good. I've been watching American dramas for many years."

"Sister Shen Li told me before that your English is completely barrier-free when communicating with foreigners here."

"That's not quite the case. Sometimes it's awkward, and the grammar is always wrong, but these few sentences of yours are relatively simple."

"I don't have any scenes today, so, let's go back to the crew hotel. I'll treat you to coffee at the lobby lounge."

"Okay, then I'll tell my sister."

In the evening, the crew returned to the hotel one after another. Guangrong and Wang Ziyu were still sitting in the lobby lounge area practicing.

Shen Li, who had returned from work, stepped forward to show concern: "How is it? Any progress?"

"Sister Shen Li." Wang Ziyu stood up and said with a smile: "There is, there is progress, very big progress."

Shen Li looked at Guangrong: "Not bad, Guangrong."

"It's just the accent issue. Actually, it's not hard."

Shen Li looked at the two of them and nodded: "Then you guys continue. I'm going upstairs to remove my makeup and take a shower."

After Shen Li left, Wang Ziyu also said to Guangrong: "Guangrong, you go back to rest too. I'll practice by myself. Thank you for today."

Actually, there were many people in the crew who knew English, and the English of those actors acting opposite her was quite good.

But the first one to proactively stand up and help her was actually Guangrong, which made Wang Ziyu thank him from the bottom of her heart.

"I'll treat you to a meal when we return to the country."

Guangrong waved his hand with a smile: "Don't be polite. Then I'll go back first. You can do it; it's already very good. No problem."

For Wang Ziyu at this moment, these few casual words of encouragement from Guangrong were actually very important.

After Guangrong left, Wang Ziyu still sat alone on the sofa in the lobby, repeating and practicing over and over again. She wished she could carve those few sentences of English into her brain.

"What is she muttering about over there?"

Xu Ke'er returned from outside and couldn't help but frown and ask with a laugh when she saw Wang Ziyu not far away.

An assistant on the side curled her lips: "She made Director Gu Lian angry today on set because of a few sentences of English. She's probably practicing those lines."

Xu Ke'er gave a cold laugh. She also had a deep impression of those lines because she had originally wanted to claim that scene for herself. Unfortunately, she couldn't speak English either, so she had to give up in the end.

As a result, it was left to Wang Ziyu, who was just like her and couldn't speak it either, and even angered Director Gu Lian.

"Good intentions left to her, but unfortunately she's useless!" Xu Ke'er said sarcastically.

Before long, Liu Tong also returned. The assistant was carrying some shopping bags, clearly having done some shopping outside.

Noticing Wang Ziyu at a glance, she was sitting by the window. Outside, the sky had just turned dark, and the colorful neon lights supported her silhouette. Her already stunning face looked even more moving at this moment.

With Xu Ke'er sticking by his side most of the time on ordinary days, Liu Tong himself didn't dare to cast too much attention on other actresses.

It was truly a waste of the opportunity to have such a crew full of beauties.

At this moment, seeing Wang Ziyu, he became somewhat lost in thought unconsciously.

"So beautiful."

Even the male assistant on the side couldn't help but say: "She is the most beautiful actress in our crew."

Liu Tong came back to his senses and looked at the assistant on the side.

The two only exchanged a glance, and the assistant instantly understood something.

After a while, when Wang Ziyu was practicing earnestly, the male assistant suddenly walked up close: "Ziyu."

Wang Ziyu, who was overly focused, was startled. When she turned her head, the look in her eyes was like a frightened little deer, lively and lovable.

"Teacher."

Wang Ziyu recognized that the other party was Director Liu Tong's assistant, so she hurriedly stood up to greet him politely.

The assistant looked at her and said: "Brother Tong is looking for you. He wants you to say today's lines for him to hear, to check if there's any progress."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziyu nodded and didn't think much of it, because Director Liu Tong had often looked for her over these few months.

It was just that every time he looked for her, it was to cut her lines and plot.

So now, Wang Ziyu had a psychological fear of the words "Brother Tong is looking for you," worrying that her lines and scenes would be cut again.

"Where is he?"

"Oh, he went back to his room. He bought a lot of things tonight. Since we're about to return to the country, he needs to tidy up."

The assistant's expression and tone were very peaceful and natural: "You can just go up and knock on the door. He's in 706."

Wang Ziyu didn't dare to delay and hurriedly took the elevator upstairs. It was just that she, who hadn't thought much of it, suddenly became nervous when she stood alone in front of Liu Tong's room door.

She turned her head to look at the other end of the seventh-floor corridor. 701 was Sister Shen Li's room.

Moreover, the soundproofing of this hotel wasn't good, and the entire floor was occupied by the crew's actors. It should be fine, right?

The inexperienced Wang Ziyu hesitated and raised her hand, but before she could knock on the door, the door of 706 was suddenly pulled open from the inside.

Wang Ziyu was so frightened she took a step back, and she saw Liu Tong looking at her with a smile: "Ziyu? Why didn't you knock when you arrived? Come in!"

Liu Tong was wearing clothes, even wearing a coat. Wang Ziyu suppressed the nervousness in her heart and stepped into Liu Tong's room. ===== CHAPTER 825 =====
