Rose Manor

Tong Yan's first reaction was to look up at the room number, thinking that she had found the wrong one. She checked again and found that yes, this was the room where Shen Jiannian lived.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Shen Jianian, she..."

"Is something wrong?" The man's voice was indifferent, interrupting her, showing a hint of impatience.

Tong Yan's ears were hot and she was extremely embarrassed. At the critical moment, the assistant came to the rescue: "Sister Yan Yan is here to deliver food to Teacher Shen."

"Oh, that's right... I'm here to deliver food to Shen Jianian." Tong Yan seemed to remember it and brought a brown paper bag from the assistant, with several plastic packaging boxes stacked inside, "She didn't come to the dinner party tonight. The food in our restaurant is good, so let her try it as an apology."

Fu Jichen's tone was intriguing: "Apologise?"

Tong Yan pulled her hair around her ears and expressed her apology with a smile: "Due to my poor condition in the afternoon, I NGed several times, which left her with no time to rest. She felt very sorry."

Fu Jichen's eyes turned cold. Is she the actress Jianian mentioned?

Not only did Jianian have no time to rest, it also made her sick.

"You can eat it yourself, she has already fallen asleep."

Not wanting to say more, Fu Jichen closed the door.

The hand Tong Yan extended was still hanging there. When the door panel in front of her closed, a gust of wind blew over her cheek, as if she had been slapped in the face.

With a fire rising in her heart, Tong Yan angrily handed the brown paper bag back to the assistant, walked to the elevator, tilted her head and complained to the assistant: "What do you mean by Shen Jia Nian? If you don't come out by yourself, ask a man to come out and ridicule me. ?”

The little assistant looked at his nose and heart, knowing that his artist was angry, so he didn't dare to answer the conversation and made many mistakes.

Tong Yan stood in the car, her arms folded, the anger on her pretty face still lingering, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became: "Do you think that man looks familiar?"

"A little bit."

"It must be the boss of some company." Tong Yan held her head high, her beautiful face reflected in the bright elevator door, with a look of pride on her face as her guess was confirmed, "I just said that because Shen Jiannian has not signed with any agency and has no With his wealth and background, how could he possibly get into Director Wang’s drama without the help of the financial backers behind him? I didn’t expect that even Director Wang would lose to the capital..."

"Sister Yanyan, stop talking!"

The little assistant turned pale with fright. How dare she say something wrong with Director Wang.

If someone overhears you, don’t even think about hanging around in this circle.

Tong Yan knew she had made a mistake and hid her lips, but refused to admit defeat in front of the assistant. She lowered her voice and muttered: "There is no one else here except you, so what are you afraid of?"

The elevator door opened and Tong Yan stomped out.

On the other side, Fu Jichen turned off the light again and lay down. Shen Jia Nian was awakened by the movement. She buried her face in his arms and asked drowsily: "Who is here?"

"Unimportant people." Fu Jichen patted her on the back and coaxed in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

Shen Jia Nian was too sleepy and had no time to think, so he quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Tong Yan took a nanny car to the set early in the morning.

Putting on makeup for a costume play takes a long time, and someone came earlier than her - Fu Feibai was sitting on a folding chair, with his arms folded across his chest, leaning back on the chair and dozing off. The makeup artist was attaching a hood to his head, and there were several pins on his long hair. A silver clip.

Tong Yan said softly: "Mr. Fu, would you like some coffee? It will help reduce swelling."

Fu Feibai opened his eyelids and yawned, then took a glass of Americano: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, we will have a scene with each other later, please bear with me."

Tong Yan's expression was unnatural. Yesterday afternoon, she failed so many times that she became famous in the crew. This is not the kind of fame an actor would want.

Fu Feibai took a sip of coffee and smiled: "That's easy to say."

He is usually very talkative and never puts on airs. As long as you don't mess with him, he won't target anyone. Having worked with so many film crews, no one said that he was not easy to get along with.

Tong Yan was sitting next to her while another makeup artist was doing the styling. She was holding a cup of coffee in her hand. She glanced at Fu Feibai who was reading the script from the corner of her eye. She pondered for a while and pretended to be surprised: "I went to give Jiannian a cup of tea last night." When I was delivering food, the person who opened the door was actually a man, which shocked me."

Fu Feibai looked away from the script, looked over, and raised his tone: "Man?"

Seeing his interest, Tong Yan got excited and was about to start talking when she suddenly realized that besides them, there was also a makeup artist.

The makeup artist saw the hint in Tong Yan's eyes in the mirror and gave her a friendly smile. They put on make-up for actors from major productions all year round, overheard loads and loads of gossip, and knew what to say and what not to say.

Tong Yan knew that they understood what she meant, so she said it with confidence: "Yes. That man is quite tall, good-looking, and has a good temperament. He should not be from an ordinary wealthy family. He has a cold temper. I don't care. Dare to talk to him more."

Based on her description, Fu Feibai immediately guessed that it was his brother who came to visit the crew. No wonder Shen Jia Nian didn't come to the dinner party last night.

Tong Yan looked at his face and saw his thoughtful expression, and was secretly happy. She just wanted Fu Feibai to know that Shen Jia Nian, whom he was protecting, was acting inappropriately behind his back and was restless during filming.

Fu Feibai: "It should be her boyfriend."

Tong Yan was startled, this was not the effect she wanted.

Thinking back on it, all the words she said were in praise of that man, so it wouldn't be surprising if others would think so.

"I don't think so." Tong Yan deliberately guided Fu Feibai, "That man looks very old and doesn't quite match Shen Jianian."

Fu Feibai choked and almost spilled the coffee on himself. His eyes were full of doubts about Tong Yan. Is his brother old? Only in his early thirties.

Does Tong Yan have an eye problem?

"What, what's wrong?" Tong Yan noticed that he looked at her a little strangely, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had said the wrong thing.

In the hotel, Fu Jichen pressed the alarm that Shen Jia had set, and she overslept. She was still in bed when Xiaoyu came and knocked on the door to call her.

There was a chaos of war and chaos, and Shen Jianian got into the car heading to the set.

Fu Jichen had something to do in the afternoon, so he had breakfast with her and then returned to Beicheng. Before leaving, he told her to take good care of herself, and explained it to Aunt Cheng and Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu didn't know that Shen Jianian was sick yesterday. In the car, he kept apologizing to Shen Jianian: "It's all my fault for not keeping you warm on the set."

Shen Jianian smiled and said, "It's none of your business, so you don't have to blame yourself."

When she got off the bus, Shen Jia Nian wore a mask and had a good night's sleep. Her fever had gone down and she was still feeling a little uncomfortable. I didn’t take any medicine in the morning, so it shouldn’t affect my shooting status.

"Jianian, here you go." Tong Yan, who had put on makeup, winked at her in the mirror with an ambiguous smile on her face, "You're late today."

Shen Jia Nian took off his mask, sat down, and said casually: "I forgot to set the alarm."

"You don't need to explain, I understand everything." Tong Yan still had the same smiling expression, and her tone had a different meaning.

On the contrary, Shen Jia Nian didn't understand what she meant, and she didn't ask. She closed her eyes so that the makeup artist could apply makeup on her.

The preparations were almost done, and Fu Feibai took some time to talk to Shen Jianian: "Did my brother come last night?"

Shen Jianian was surprised: "How do you know?"

Could it be that Fu Jichen told him?

Soon, she knew it was not the case, because Fu Feibai spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's true that my brother didn't even say a word to me when he came to visit the class, so he is no longer my real brother. If not say anything else, at least treat me to a meal Rice."

Shen Jianian explained for Fu Jichen: "He is quite busy with work. He came last night and left this morning. He may not have time to see you..." It seemed that the more he explained, the more people would be misunderstood, so he simply stopped talking.

Fu Feibai shook his shoulders and smiled.

Shen Jianian: "You haven't said how you knew."

Fu Feibai pursed his lips and gestured in a certain direction: "You told me a lot of things early in the morning in a pretentious manner." He was not stupid, Tong Yan's little thoughts could be seen through at a glance.

Shen Jianian turned his head and glanced in that direction. Tong Yan was holding a script and asking an experienced actor for advice. Her little assistant was dutifully filming in the distance.

How did Tong Yan know?

As soon as a question mark crossed his mind, Shen Jia Nian remembered that someone seemed to have knocked on the door last night. At that time, she took medicine and fell asleep. It was Fu Jichen who opened the door. He said it was an unimportant person, probably Tong Yan.

Shen Jianian rubbed his eyebrows, no wonder Tong Yan had that expression when she was putting on makeup, and her words were also weird.

*

The second important rivalry scene between Shen Jia Nian and Tong Yan comes a week later.

Shen Jianian was undoubtedly nervous. She practiced the angle and strength of the slap in front of the mirror.

In the play, Yindai ruined Ruoyu's plan because of her emotions. Ruoyu slapped her hard and made her kneel on the ice with her single clothes on.

In this scene, Shen Jia Nian wants to slap Tong Yan.

If it's too light, it won't achieve the "hard slap" effect written in the script. If it's too hard, Tong Yan will probably eat her alive. The most appropriate way to perform is to pick it up heavily and drop it gently. Shen Jianian is practicing hard.

I hope the filming goes smoothly. (End of chapter)
