“Good! Cut!”

The director immediately stood up and walked over. “Everyone performed well.”

Only then did Lin Shanchu let go of the actress who played the illegitimate daughter.

When the other actors saw this scene, they heaved a sigh of relief.

“Good job, everyone.” The director’s gaze swept across the filmset and finally landed on Lin Shanchu. “Lin Shanchu, come with me.”

Before Lin Shanchu left, she looked up at the actress who played the illegitimate daughter. Just as she was about to express her apology, the actress who played the illegitimate daughter started crying.

It happened so suddenly that Lin Shanchu was a little confused. “What’s wrong with you?”

“Mu Sula scared me witless just now. Boo-hoo…” The actress who played the illegitimate daughter looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. It seemed that she was really frightened because she was snotting from crying.

The other actors were amused by her.

Lin Shanchu had some impression of this actress.

Although she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she was an experienced actress and had acted in many dramas.

She had a good reputation and many seniors had praised her.

She seemed to be called Zhen or something.

Lin Shanchu really could not remember her name, so she said gently, “Zhenzhen. I’m sorry for scaring you…”

Lin Shanchu’s gentle appearance dispelled a bit of the fear in Jian Zhen’s heart. She sniffled and asked Lin Shanchu, “How did you know that I’m Zhenzhen?”

“I’ve watched your dramas. You’re really good at acting,” Lin Shanchu said as she looked at Jian Zhen attentively, appearing especially sincere.

Jian Zhen was a little embarrassed as she stroked her hair. “Sister, your rabbit dance also looked nice…

Speechless, Lin Shanchu gradually forced a smile. “Thank you.”

Jian Zhen had touched a sore spot with Lin Shanchu.

Jian Zhen smiled with her eyes narrowed. “Sister, can you take a photo with me after work?”

Lin Shanchu was slightly startled. “Sure…” She did not expect this girl to be her fan.

Then, Lin Shanchu left with the director.

After the two of them went to an empty corner, the director pulled out a chair for her in a very friendly manner. “Sit.”

Right after Lin Shanchu sat down, she heard the director say, “That child, Jianzhen, is a little timid, but she is not fragile and can endure hardship. You don’t have to worry about acting with her.” It turned out that her name was Jian Zhen.

“I’m not worried.”

The director thought for a moment before he continued, “When you were cutting the clothes just now… Your conviction was quite strong.”

“Director, I have very little acting experience, so I’ll need your guidance in the future,” Lin Shanchu said calmly.

The director put on airs just now. After all, rumor had it that Lin Shanchu was a poser and condescending.

However, Lin Shanchu was humble and modest in front of the director, making him very satisfied.

The director was grinning from ear to ear. “It’s true that you don’t have many scenes, but for kids who are eager to learn like you, most of them have a good understanding of scripts and roles. As long as you put your heart and soul into it, none of it will be a problem.”

“Yeah.” Lin Shanchu nodded obediently.

“Oh right, there are night scenes tonight.” The director asked tentatively. “Can you make it?”

“Director, I’ll follow your arrangements,” Lin Shanchu replied.

“Can you arrange your schedule?” The director knew that a popular young celebrity like Lin Shanchu would usually take advantage of her popularity to take on all kinds of business deals to make money.

Lin Shanchu replied, “My manager has already arranged everything. He told me to take things slowly, one by one.”

“Alright then!” The director was even more satisfied with Lin Shanchu’s calm personality. “Great!”

The director talked to her for a long time but he did not mention anything about filming later.

Lin Shanchu could only take the initiative to ask, “When we start filming later…

“Just follow your heart and act. You can act however you want.” The director said proudly, “You don’t have to worry about scaring Jian Zhen to tears again…”

Lin Shanchu was a little surprised and touched.

However, this feeling only lasted for two seconds because the director immediately said, “Anyway, you’re quite good at coaxing girls. Didn’t you coax her in an instant just now?”

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

Lin Shanchu stayed on set for the entire day.

The night scene was filmed at another venue.

It was already midnight when they finished filming.

There was still one last scene.

In this scene, she went to meet a man lying unconscious on the hospital bed.

According to the script, this man was very important to Mu Sula but his identity was not mentioned.

It was also the last episode in this week’s update.

The episode ended with a cliffhanger on purpose to add a sense of mystery to the character, Mu Sula, and to arouse the curiosity of the audience.

Lin Shanchu followed the crew and moved to another location.

She looked at the increasingly familiar road and asked the staff in confusion,

“Aren’t we going to the hospital?”

The staff replied, “You don’t have to go to the hospital to film a patient.”

Shortly afterwards, Lin Shanchu followed the crew into a familiar villa area and saw familiar faces.

“Miss Lin?” Li MO opened the door and let the crew in.

Lin Shanchu saw the same confusion on Li MO’s face. Lin Shanchu trotted up the director and asked, “Who will play the patient?” “Your friend.” The director smiled eloquently.

Both Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were on good terms with her.

So, which one of these two would play the patient?

Li MO took the crew to Huo Chaosheng’s room.

Lin Shanchu had come to visit Huo Chaosheng a few days ago. The moment she entered the room, she realized that the room had been decorated into a ward.

Lin Shanchu looked at Huo Chaosheng lying on the bed and heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt a little disappointed.

The stylist even styled Huo Chaosheng.

Lin Shanchu sat down by the bed and heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s you.”

“Are you surprised?” Huo Chaosheng could not move around while being styled, so he glanced at Lin Shanchu out of the corner of his eye. Lin Shanchu said expressionlessly, “It’s surprising and unexpected.”

Huo Chaosheng replied, “…You’re too hypocritical.”

“Teacher Huo.”

“Yes.”

As a familiar voice was heard, Lin Shanchu subconsciously followed the voice and looked over.

Huo Xunzhou had come over at some point. The director was whispering something to him, whereas he was listening intently while tilting his head slightly.

As if he noticed Lin Shanchu’s gaze, he suddenly raised his head and looked at her.

The director noticed Huo Xunzhou’s gaze.

He thought of Huo Xunzhou’s care for Lin Shanchu and quickly said, “Lin Shanchu is quite talented. She was born for this.”

Huo Xunzhou smiled. “This sister of mine is kind. Director, please take good care of her.”

“Of course.” The director was quite satisfied with Lin Shanchu’s performance, so he naturally wanted to care more about her.

Huo Chaosheng was born into an idol and had excellent professional skills, but his acting skills were terrible.

Fortunately, he just had to play dead and act like an unconscious patient.

Therefore, the scene was filmed in one take.

After work, the crew left first, leaving Lin Shanchu in Huo Chaosheng’s ward.

“Why did you suddenly take on this role?”

Huo Chaosheng said innocently, “Third Brother accepted this role on my behalf..”
