Chapter 2719: He Might Scold You on the Spot
Shen Fei smiled charmingly. “Best Actor Xu rarely praises people. Being praised by you is something that makes me happier than anything else.”
Xu Jin turned to look at her. Although he still had a serious expression, his eyes were gentle. “You did well, of course, I have to praise you. Your acting has improved a lot compared to two years ago.
“Now you know what I’m trying to say.”
“Is that so?” Shen Fei smiled. “If Best Actor Xu continues to praise me like this, I’ll be proud.”
“You can be proud.” Xu Jin was very harsh to everyone, but he was very friendly to Shen Fei. “You have the right to be proud.”
“Alright, alright.” Shen Fei smiled and gestured for him to stop. “Best Actor Xu, don’t praise me anymore. I can’t take compliments. If you praise me too much and I get carried away, my acting might drop next time.
“You’ll have to scold me again. I don’t want to be scolded by you.”
Xu Jin was stunned. He opened his mouth to say something, but Shen Fei turned around and walked towards the director.
She looked at the replay.
Xu Jin looked at her graceful back and swallowed his words.
He stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds before turning around to look at the replay.
…
The second scene was in the afternoon.
Qiao Mianmian, Xu Jin, and Shen Fei had their own scenes.
At lunch, Linda specially instructed her. “Mianmian, you have a scene with Xu Jin in the afternoon, right? I heard that he’s very strict with the actors who act with him. Very few people can satisfy him. If he feels that your performance is bad and NGs delay him too much, he might scold you on the spot.
“That’s his personality. Many young actresses have been scolded by him. So, if he scolds you or something, don’t take it to heart. Just take it that his menopause has come and he can’t control his temper.”
Linda was afraid that Qiao Mianmian wouldn’t be able to tolerate Xu Jin’s temper.
If she quarreled with Xu Jin…
Although she felt that Qiao Mianmian wouldn’t do that, she still felt a little uneasy.
Qiao Mianmian’s negative news had just dissipated.
The more popular she was now, the more haters were eyeing her.
As long as she made the slightest mistake, those haters would make a big fuss out of it.
“Sister Xie, don’t worry. I know Senior Xu, too. Actually, I hope he can be harsh to me.” Qiao Mianmian knew that Linda was worried about her causing a conflict with Xu Jin, so she deliberately said this to her.
But Linda was overthinking.
Others might be afraid of Xu Jin, but Qiao Mianmian wasn’t afraid at all.
She was even looking forward to the afternoon.
She wanted to know how Xu Jin viewed her acting.
To her, as long as she could get Xu Jin’s comment, even if he criticized her, she would find it precious.
Only with criticism could she improve.
“You want him to be harsh to you?” Linda thought she heard wrongly.
“Mm.” Qiao Mianmian nodded. “Although he’s harsh on others, he’s also harsh on himself. I can definitely learn a lot from acting with him. I can also know where I’m lacking..”
