Chapter 704: No Shame, No Morals, No Bottomline (24)

Changing the scene into a water scene was simply just to get her wet. When one was wet, it was easiest to discern their gender.
So, this Lin Yi’er knew her too?
…
When the director started the filming, Rong Mo jumped into the waters to rescue Lin Yi’er’s subst.i.tute.
As the icy cold water swallowed her whole, Rong Mo felt the chill seeping right into her bones. In that instant, her body did not feel like hers any longer as her eyes started to get dizzy from the coldness. Yet, she persevered on to try and finish the shoot no matter what.
The moment Rong Mo came out, her a.s.sistant rushed to her and wrapped her around with a coat and heat packs instantly while some of the staff came forward in concern as well.
When Lin Yi’er saw that, an image flashed through her mind.
Back then, Mo Feifei was just like a bedazzling ball of light where she would attract everyone’s attention no matter where she went. Even though she was clearly nowhere inferior compared to Mo Feifei, all she could do was stand by the sidelines and watch.
After the shoot, the director felt that it was an okay scene, and decided to let it pa.s.s.
However, Lin Yi’er sat beside the director’s chair and said, “I feel that it isn’t too good… We should reshoot. That motion just now was a little unnatural, and we should add another camera in the waters. Here too…”
Because Rong Mo was not too far from the director, she could naturally hear everything. Thus, she cast a glance over at Lin Yi’er who was trying to persuade the director.
Eventually, the director was convinced that there were certain aspects to be improved on, and thus agreed to a reshoot.
This time around, they did not have to jump into the water—they would just do the reshoot in the waters outright.
Now that it was winter, the weather was extremely cold to begin with. Coupled with the fact that she was having her period now, she was completely unsuitable to even head into the waters, let alone stay in it for long.
Despite that, Rong Mo agreed to it with a smile after thinking for a moment.
In the waters, she was so cold that she was s.h.i.+vering while her teeth clattered and her hands trembled. Because of that, she could not perform well and caused quite a number of NGs.
In the final take when Rong Mo performed rather decently, the director hurriedly had her come up right after.
Lin Yi’er whispered to the director, “I still feel… it’s not too perfect.”
The director too had wanted to seek perfection, but the weather was so cold.
However, having been in the circle for so long, he roughly had an understanding of Lin Yi’er’s meaning—it was as though she wanted to make things difficult for Rong Mo. But, Rong Mo was just a newcomer and they didn’t seem to have much interaction too. How could he have offended her?
Through the period of time they had been together, the director had quite a good impression of Rong Mo.
He looked at Lin Yi’er and chuckled. “Even though Rong Mo is a newcomer, his acting skills are rather decent, and everyone likes him. And it’s not even because he was introduced in by the investors.”
It was as though he was hinting to Lin Yi’er that Rong Mo had people backing him up.
One had better not offend anyone in the entertainment scene.
How could Lin Yi’er not understand that logic? However, she had no other choice—how else could she test for Rong Mo’s gender?
Although, based on everything just now, it seemed that Rong Mo was truly a man.
But, this did not prove that he wasn’t Mo Feifei—perhaps he was Mo Feifei who had undergone a s.e.x operation?
No matter what, she just had a strange feeling that even if Rong Mo were not Mo Feifei, the two of them must have some relations.h.i.+p.
Perhaps, she should test him out further.
There was another shot to be taken between her and Rong Mo—a scene of the two childhood sweethearts chasing after one another.
Initially, the director had wanted to change the shoot for another day looking at how Rong Mo’s body condition was. However, Lin Yi’er insisted that her schedule was already filled and she didn’t have any more time. Hence, the director had no choice but to get Rong Mo to return after changing his clothes.
