Chapter 116

"Elder Xiao, you are a veteran of Muse, there are some things that don't sound very pleasant that I don't want to say to you."

"Sigh…… I understand, Shasha is actually a good child, it was me who spoiled her. This time…… let's just treat it as letting her learn a lesson."

When Muse's notice, which was almost like freezing Xiao Sha, spread throughout the industry, the 'One Life, One Lifetime' crew was still relatively calm, and everyone was waiting for the night scene to arrive.

After a day of cold compresses, the redness and swelling on her face finally dissipated. He Lele handed Ruan Lin's phone to him. Mu Wei had just called, and she didn't know if she should answer, so she didn't. So as soon as Ruan Lin finished filming, she hurriedly handed him the phone.

Ruan Lin looked at the missed call and dialed back. As soon as it connected, he had just said "Hello" when he heard Mu Wei on the other end immediately interrupt him—

"Where is Lele? Let her answer the phone."

Ruan Lin paused for a while, looked at He Lele who was packing up her things to prepare for the scene change, hung up the phone directly, and casually threw Mu Wei's number into the blacklist.

The past was the past, now…… he didn't have the slightest unusual aesthetic for green hats.

"Is your phone out of battery?" Otherwise Mu Wei wouldn't have called him.

"……Yeah." He Lele lowered her head and replied softly.

Lying. Ruan Lin stared at He Lele's seemingly docile appearance, his mind already rehearsing how to educate her after work tonight!

Night, indoor set.

In fact, as a romantic art film aimed at winning awards, the scale of the passionate scenes in 'One Life, One Lifetime' wasn't large, and could even be said to follow a beautiful style. Because it couldn't express the intensity of love and desire through exaggerated and intense movements and postures, the requirements for the actors' eyes and expressions were exceptionally high. The last time Ruan Lin failed several times was because there was neither love nor desire in his eyes, and in the end, he almost nakedly revealed a feeling of annoyance, and even said the most hurtful words to a woman's self-esteem in front of the director and photographer—

"Facing you, I can't raise the slightest bit of sexual desire."

One sentence directly drove Xiao Sha crazy, and she even released the words "Either he goes or I go! Either I go or he goes!" One can see the degree of her frustration, but if one were to talk about frustration, Director Cao Xin's degree of frustration was probably no less than Xiao Sha's.

Originally, as a rising star in the directing world, Muse had high hopes for him, so they invested a large sum of money in him, let him choose the script, and the directing team, photography, lighting, and art design were all top-tier teams. The schedule was packed full, and Muse didn't even intend to make money from this 'One Life, One Lifetime', just to win awards for him and the actors. Under such strong support…… he almost messed it up!

"Y-you just said you want to use a body double? But……" Cao Xin looked at Xiao Sha, in a difficult position.

"What's with the 'but'? Why should I accommodate him? He has no desire when filming with me, and I have no feeling when filming with him, so let's just film separately, and then edit them together!" Xiao Sha crossed her arms, looking arrogant and untamed.

"Vivian, we can understand your mood, but it's too unrealistic for you to ask us to find a body double at the last minute." The female assistant director frowned and said.

"Hey! Don't say I didn't consider the crew. I've already found Ruan Lin's body double. Xiao Yan!"

Following Xiao Sha's call, Xiao Yan nodded, and then led in a young man whose figure was somewhat similar to Ruan Lin's.

The directing team looked at each other, and finally, the middle-aged female assistant director spoke up, "Doing this…… will make it difficult for Ruan Lin."

"Ha! Make it difficult for him? I've already given him enough face! After he insulted me like that, I didn't have Muse freeze him, which is already very tolerant!" Xiao Sha shouted, unable to hide her anger.

He Lele, following behind Ruan Lin, had just entered the filming venue and happened to hear this sentence.

Freeze Ruan Lin?

She looked at Ruan Lin in front of her with some worry, only to find Ruan Lin looking back at her with interest.

"Worried about me?" A certain narcissistic man asked for the second time in a low voice.

"……" He Lele didn't answer. After seeing his strength and dedication to his career with her own eyes, she really didn't want to see him, who worked so hard, be easily crushed just because he had no backing. But could he not always ask in such an annoying tone? He Lele curled her lips helplessly.

Ruan Lin smiled lightly and raised his hand to gently pat He Lele's head. This action of being treated like a child made He Lele glare at Ruan Lin directly, but Ruan Lin laughed even more happily because of it.

"Ruan Lin…… you, come here for a moment." The middle-aged female assistant director called out.

He Lele then realized that they had become the focus of everyone's attention. Fortunately, Ruan Lin's departure also took away everyone's gaze, and her phobia didn't have time to flare up before it lost its stimulus.

In fact, there aren't many opportunities for an ordinary person to be stared at by everyone in daily life. Everyone is very busy, who has so much free time to care about others? Unless that person has done something outstanding or out of line. And she had long ago learned four words—keep a low profile. Don't look for trouble, and…… try hard not to let trouble find you.

Feeling a gaze, He Lele looked over—Xiao Yan. As soon as Xiao Yan saw He Lele looking back at her, she hurriedly looked away.

Xiao Yan swallowed her saliva. She had checked, that phone—it was indeed a luxury phone launched by Versace, and she couldn't find a knock-off version anywhere on the internet, so, so that fake country girl was really…… really using a sky-high price phone worth 59,000! And she heard that this He Lele was only a temporary assistant for a week…… looking average, she shouldn't be some mistress or lover, so…… Xiao Yan felt thirsty, so could this girl be the daughter of some rich family who came to the set to play?

She couldn't help but look around. She heard that those rich young ladies all had bodyguards following them in secret when they went out. She hit someone today, so would she be…… Xiao Yan became more and more afraid the more she thought about it, and couldn't help but move a few steps toward a dark corner. Jiang Jingjing, who was beside her, found it very inexplicable and looked at Xiao Yan with confusion. Seeing her fearful expression was completely different from the daytime, she couldn't help but feel a bit of schadenfreude while being puzzled.

"Body double?" Ruan Lin glanced at the body double actor Xiao Sha had found and smiled faintly without any negative emotions, "This is also fine."

"But—the filming is so tight now, where can we find a suitable female body double in such a short time, and…… even if we find one, the chemistry with you will be a problem." The female assistant director said anxiously.

Xiao Sha sat on the side, watching coldly. She wanted to embarrass Ruan Lin and let the crew know that she was very cooperative, and that it was Ruan Lin, not her, Xiao Sha, who was dragging down the crew, delaying the filming, and had poor acting skills! She wanted Ruan Lin to beg her personally, beg her to film with him!

"No, on the contrary, I have a very suitable candidate, and she is right here." Ruan Lin replied with a smile. That confident and elegant smile was enough to melt everyone's doubts and sweep away the gloom that had just shrouded the directing team's hearts!

"I knew you had a backup plan!" The middle-aged female assistant director couldn't care about Xiao Sha's presence and praised him with a smile.
