Chapter 238 - 238 Su Ji had a Change of Mind?
238 Su Ji had a Change of Mind?
While Lu Ailian was talking to Su Ji, the other staff members were quietly observing them.
Su Ji was like a G.o.d, everyone knew her.
It was Xu Ni’s first day at the set, and his grandma already knew Su Ji!
Lu Ailian looked at Su Ji with a flattering smile.
In the past, the rich and powerful families in A City despised people in the entertainment industry the most. It was almost impossible for their children to enter the entertainment industry.
However, since Su Ji’s sudden appearance, everything changed. The thoughts of these rich people had also begun to change.
Not only did Su Ji enter the entertainment industry, but she was also very popular. She had gained both fame and fortune, and even the Su family had benefited from her.
Su Cunyi was also full of pride when he mentioned his daughter.
Many rich families wanted to send their children into the entertainment industry. Lu Ailian had been following “The Billions Star”, so of course she wanted to jump into the bandwagon.
Moreover, her grandson was not good at his studies or business. He did not even get into college. He was also particularly rebellious. He smoked, drank, played games, and fought with others every two or three days. He was sent to the police station frequently.
If it was a granddaughter she would have kicked her out long ago.
She originally wanted Su Ji to teach him calligraphy.
However, Su Ji refused
When she heard that The Billion Stars was looking for a new actor, she quickly brought her grandson to try out the role.
She didn’t expect him to succeed!
Her grandson had always been good looking, and anyone who saw him would want to pinch his face. It seemed that his grandson might really be able to make a living in this industry.
He might become even more popular than Su Ji in the future!
Han Junlei had already given the script to Xu Ni the day before yesterday. He called him to the side and gave him a few pieces of advice.
Lu Ailian smiled at Su Ji. “You said last time that you didn’t like your grandmother. You see, I didn’t bring her here this time. Please don’t think badly of my grandson because of your grandmother.”
“Don’t worry.” Su Ji smiled.
Although Lu Ailian and Zhang Guihua were birds of a feather, she would not do anything to her grandson because of this.
Lu Ailian smiled. “Great!”
Then, she spoke a few words to Xu Ni and left.
“A young master. No wonder he doesn’t like to talk to anyone.”
“He’s from a well-to-do family. The car his grandmother came in cost more than two million. Sigh, another troublemaker.”
Seeing that Lu Ailian had left, Xu Ni took out a pack of cigarettes and walked to the side.
He took one out and bit it.
The lighter’s wheels made two screeching sounds, and the blue flame appeared in front of his eyes.
He took a puff and slowly exhaled. The thin smoke wrapped around his fingertips and rose, blurring the outline of his side profile.
His face was very pale and thin.
He was indeed beautiful.
Especially the side profile.
But he didn’t notice that there was a no smoking sign above where he was standing.
Xu Ni blew out a cigarette and sat on the seat next to him.
With his sharp eyes, Si Jingchuan could tell at a glance that he was sitting on his boss’ personal folding stool!
Pei Huai had it custom-made for Su Ji. It could be folded and was ergonomic, making it convenient for her to rest whenever and wherever she was filming.
Not only did he smoke in the no-smoking area, but he also sat in his boss’ stool.
Si Jingchuan rolled up his sleeves and walked over.
Underlings are supposed to help their boss deal with this kind of thing!
“Xu Ni, you…”
However, just as his fingertips touched Xu Ni’s shoulder, Xu Ni slapped his hand away.
“Don’t touch me!”
“???”
Si Jingchuan glanced at his hands, which were as beautiful as a piece of art.
The back of his hand was red.
How distressed would the boss be when she saw this?
Si Jingchuan licked his cheek and took a deep breath. “Xu Ni, look up!”
Xu Ni pursed his lips and looked up. “What?”
He didn’t expect to get into trouble on the first day, but he wasn’t afraid.
Si Jingchuan knocked on the “no smoking” sign above his head. “Do you see that?”
After he finished speaking, he took the cigarette from his mouth and threw it into a bottle of mineral water. “You shouldn’t smoke at such a young age.”
“You!” Xu Ni stood up immediately and clenched his fists. He was about to punch Si Jingchuan’s face.
At that moment, Su Ji appeared in front of Si Jingchuan and caught Xu Ni’s fist with ease.
Su Ji smiled, “boy, you have quite a bad temper.”
Xu Ni pursed his lips. He wanted to pull his hand out, but no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn’t budge.
He looked a little embarra.s.sed.
Si Jingchuan’s eyes widened. As he looked at his boss, who was standing in front of him, b.u.t.terflies fluttered in his heart.
Boss is so handsome!
However, in the next second, his gaze fell on Su Ji’s hand that was holding Xu Ni’s fist tightly.
He separated their hands.
“Boss, don’t grab his hand. It’s dirty.”
“…”
The commotion had alarmed many staff members.
The first day Xu Ni arrived, he already had a dispute with two of the most important actors. This would probably be gossip for the next few days.
Xu Ni didn’t like the feeling of being watched, so he didn’t say anything to Su Ji and the others. He clenched his fists, stood up, and left.
Su Ji sat on her stool and sized him up with a meaningful look.
Si Jingchuan followed his boss’ line of sight.
Xu Ni was indeed good-looking.
Boss couldn’t be thinking of taking him in as a follower too, right?
However, Si Jingchuan soon realized that Xu Ni was just a pretty face.
He didn’t know how to act at all!
In the morning, there was a scene with Xu Ni and Yu Ling.
The scene where the mother and son talked about Bai Yueguang.
It should be an easy scene.
However, even for such a simple scene, Xu Ni kept doing bad takes.
Han Junlei had high expectations. However, it was Xu Ni’s first time acting and he had no experience.
He could not get into character.
Su Ji and Si Jingchuan were preparing for their own scenes at the side. After a while, when they looked up again, Xu Ni had already done 20 bad takes.
“Why are you like a wooden block? You’re acting, not being punished by the teacher! There must be body language!”
“Stop, stop, stop! Did you swallow the word ‘b.i.t.c.h’? Your emotions won’t be able to stir up the audience’s hatred!”
“Look at how Yu Ling acts! You didn’t learn anything at all? Useless trash!”
Han Junlei was furious. Xu Ni was someone he picked, so he was angrier than the others.
He had already scolded him several times.
The more he scolded Xu Ni, the more out of it he was, and he started to get annoyed.
The atmosphere was tense.
“Xu Ni’s acting skills are terrible. It’s such a simple scene, but he couldn’t pa.s.s after so many takes?”
“Even if it’s his first time on set, it shouldn’t be this bad. I feel like I could do it too.”
“Yeah, he just had to go along with Yu Ling and criticize Bai Yueguang, it’s so easy!”
The crew members were in a heated discussion. Even Si Jingchuan couldn’t help but say, “boss, I think he’s deliberately not doing a good job. Look at him. it’s as if someone forced him to be here.”
Su Ji observed for a while but did not think so.
Because Xu Ni didn’t miss a single one of his lines.
The problem was not that.
The crew had already started to put out the food, but they had not finished filming this scene.
Smelling the fragrance of the food, the anxiety in people’s hearts became even stronger.
They couldn’t go on like this, so Yu Ling and Huang Huayu tried to ease the atmosphere.
They brought the lunchboxes over.
Huang Huayu said, “Director Han, let everyone rest first. Xu Ni might be in the right state of mind in the afternoon.”
Yu Ling placed a sumptuous lunchbox in Xu Ni’s hands. “It’s normal for this to happen the first time. Don’t be nervous. Eat something.”
However, Han Junlei roared in anger, “normal? How much time was wasted? He can’t even do such a scene well, and he still has the audacity to eat?”
He thought that he had a lot of potential during the audition, but why was it so bad when it came to the actual filming!
“Director Han, it’s his first day on set. Don’t…” Huang Huayu said nervously.
Han Junlei’s temper was like this. When he was angry, his words were especially harsh. Other than Su Ji and Si Jingchuan, everyone in the production team had been scolded by him.
The reason Su Ji and Si Jingchuan had managed to escape was because they had yet to film any difficult scenes.
Every time Han Junlei lost his temper, the people around him would calm him down.
Xu Ni listened to him and clenched the lunchbox tightly.
In the next second, he threw the lunchbox into the trash can right in front of Han Junlei.
“Alright! If I don’t do well today, I won’t take a single bite!”
The entire place was silent.
Si Jingchuan had just brought his and his boss’ meals over. “d.a.m.n, he dares to challenge Director Han face to face. He’s quite tough.”
However, when he turned around, she saw Su Ji smiling playfully and said, “I quite like him.”
