Chapter 56: Chapter 56: 056 Friend? Give some space, friend?

On the set, Shi Lan, portraying Fan Yan, and Chen Beini, portraying Jiang Zilin, were a pair of close girlfriends, so they normally shared a deep sisterly love, even if they were to fall out, it would be in the latter part of the story. However, due to the complexity of the character Fan Yan, the fact was that acting against Chen Beini made Shi Lan’s task much more challenging.

For Fan Yan was both an angel and a devil.

Her sisterly affection for Jiang Zilin was genuine, yet, she truly did betray her.

“Both of you come over for the scene, and if anyone wants to reflect, let me know in advance so I can dismiss her now.”

Ever since Yan Shixiu gave Director Tang this confidence, he felt the team was much easier to manage, silently watching as the two “rivals” obediently made their way towards him, Director Tang thought to himself, Yan always comes up with perfect solutions.

Little did he know that this “suggestion” came from a lady boss.

Shi Lan and Chen Beini exchanged a glance, keeping silent about the events of the previous night.

Yan handled the aftermath very efficiently, not only having the hotel cleaned but also ensuring strict confidentiality. No one else in the crew had heard anything, after all, he wasn’t trying to save Chen Beini’s face, but rather to keep a powerful woman’s prestige intact.

“This scene was scheduled yesterday. It is a conversation between Jiang Zilin and Fan Yan before Jiang’s wedding. Beini, I have to remind you about emotional control; I’m afraid you might not keep up with An Lan.”

After hearing this, Chen Beini was shocked for a moment and emphasized to Director Tang, “Director Tang, I have been in the industry for four years now.”

“Is that so? Then let’s do a run-through,” responded Director Tang nonchalantly.

In this scene, Chen Beini’s Jiang Zilin was confiding in a good friend because she was very opposed to an arranged marriage, but the complication was that she had affections for Young Master Qin.

Meanwhile, Fan Yan was comforting her best friend while trying to pry information from Jiang Zilin’s mouth.

The setting was next to a carriage, with both of them returning to Jiang Residence by carriage.

“Come, 2-4-1-1, Action!”@@novelbin@@

The wind machine was working off to the side, while the coachman waited nearby.

Hand in hand, the two women walked to the carriage. At this moment, while Chen Beini was still adjusting her emotions, trying to see Shi Lan’s face as that of a real-life best friend, Shi Lan’s expression had already changed, all within a few seconds.

When their gazes met, Chen Beini felt like she was seeing a completely different person!

In front of the camera, in Fan Yan’s clear eyes, there was a hint of pride, yet she also showed affectionate closeness to her friend.

Moreover, just before boarding the carriage, Fan Yan, lifting her skirt arrogantly, stepped on the coachman’s back. Once aboard, she quickly patted the seat beside her and said to Jiang Zilin, “What are you waiting for?”

The detail in the performance left Director Tang speechless.

But, facing two completely different personalities, Chen Beini and Gu Chengyu alike forgot their lines.

“Cut! Beini, what are you thinking about?” yelled Director Tang.

“Sorry… Sorry, Director Tang,” Chen Beini apologized with a gesture, and when she turned around, Shi Lan had changed back to the Shi Lan she disliked. This all happened so quickly, or perhaps Shi Lan’s speed of getting into and out of character was simply too fast, making Chen Beini’s head spin.

“Is this the result of being in the industry for four years… your life is just about defeating me?”

Chen Beini was left speechless by Shi Lan’s rebuff.

At that moment, Sun Ling quickly approached with a cup of water, pointing to a fruit plate not far and asking, “Mr. Yan had someone bring some fruit. Would you like some?”

Even though they had just agreed to be friends the previous night, today he reverted to his usual attentiveness.

All Shi Lan could do was pull out her phone and text, “Friends? How about giving me some space, friend?”

Mr. Yan: “Support each other, take care of each other, that’s what friends do.”
