Actor: Thank you.

The entertainment industry has its own "occupational hazards," such as the common "development of feelings for each other while filming."

Having spent several months in the same place, we developed many emotional connections through our work.

In addition, actors are also considered artists, and therefore need to be emotionally rich.

Many couples who fall in love while working on a film or television drama end up marrying and supporting each other through thick and thin, while many others find solace and support in each other.

Truly passionate love at first sight is actually quite rare; most relationships are based on circumstances, mutual assistance, or mutual benefit.

Of course, there are also those who are intelligent and clear-headed, who understand that work is work and should not be mixed with personal feelings. It all depends on the individual and cannot be generalized based on the industry.

But today's situation is a bit special.

When Zhang Yuan arrived at the filming location of "Scarlet Heart", his junior sister's eyes were as captivating as ever.

But a hint of confusion and hesitation appeared in his eyes.

I even felt a little ashamed.

Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow and swept his gaze across the scene, but pretended not to see anything.

He led Naza, who had come to the film set with him, forward.

"This is Gulina, a new actress that Boss Cai has found. We are discussing her upcoming projects."

"I happened to run into her, so I brought her along to the film set."

"This... Director Lin." Zhang Yuan raised his hand to greet Lin Yufen, an old acquaintance.

"Take this new friend to see the film set. She doesn't know much about it, so you can show her around."

"President Cai thinks highly of her," Zhang Yuan added at the end.

Lin Yufen nodded to indicate that she understood; those whom the boss favored would naturally be taken care of.

He then took the girl to meet people.

XJ wanted to say something, but she had already been led away, and kept looking back at him.

You said you were taking me sightseeing, but how come you abandoned me as soon as we arrived at our destination...?

Zhang Yuan had his reasons for bringing Nazha along, and he also had his own plans for letting the other party leave temporarily.

He warmly took the little lion's delicate hand and affectionately drew closer.

How's it going on set lately?

"happy?"

"Are you homesick from working all the time?"

"I feel like you've lost weight." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and rubbed her cheek.

The other person showed a genuine, slightly goofy smile, which was very gentle.

"By the way, those bags you mentioned to me before."

“I bought all of these for you when I went abroad recently.”

"But I didn't bring them here. They're all in the capital. You'll see them when you get home."

"Really? That's great!" She became even happier upon hearing this.

"Of course, I thought of you when I was abroad." Zhang Yuan gave him a sincere look: "And you?"

"Hmm..." She nodded as usual, but there was a hint of evasion in her eyes.

If it were before, she would have easily wrapped her arms around his neck and then giggled.

Zhang Yuan lowered his eyelids slightly, pretending not to see, and pulled her arm over.

"Let's talk about some things when it's just the two of us."

"Take me to see the crew first, and introduce them to me."

Yuan Hong, Lin Gengxin, Guo Xiaoting... He had met them before, or had met them once.

He also greeted the lead actors Han Dong, Kevin Cheng, and Ye Zuxin one by one.

He wasn't very interested in the man, and he had no intention of signing him or bringing him under his name; it was just a formality.

However, when Yuan Hong met him and chatted for a few minutes, her eyes kept glancing back and forth between him and Liu Shishi.

She gave him a somewhat aggrieved look, as if she had something to say but held back.

Zhang Yuan patted his shoulder meaningfully.

Turning around, I saw Guo Zhenni in a green gauze dress standing to the side.

In this drama, Yuan Hong plays the role of the "Executive Vice Emperor" Thirteenth Prince, while Guo Zhenni plays the elegant courtesan named Lüwu.

So-called elegant courtesans were similar to first-class slender horses, proficient in all kinds of arts and crafts, and their talents and culture were at least enough to pass the imperial examinations and become a scholar.

It was made exclusively for the leisure of scholars and literati.

In this drama, Lüwu is the lover of the thirteenth prince, similar to Alan, the sister of Zhang Wuge in "Yongzheng Dynasty".

Zhang Yuan had some respect for Guo Zhenni.

Let's set aside his character and worldliness for now.

He just wanted to say one thing.

All actresses who played femme fatales and prostitutes in later generations, come take a look!
Open your eyes wide and see what it means to be alluring without being vulgar, charming without being cheap!
Guo Zhenni's eyes seem to have hooks; with just a flick of her eyelids, she can steal a man's soul.

Although her looks weren't top-tier, her every smile and gesture possessed a unique charm.

It's quite remarkable how diverse and varied female celebrities are these days, with all sorts of styles available.

Ms. Guo is very charming, but in terms of beauty, she is not as beautiful as Liu Shishi.

Even Liu Shishi wasn't the most popular actress among the cast and crew.

The most beautiful actress, according to everyone, is Annie Liu, who plays her older sister.

Liu Xinyou is now thirty years old. Her chubby cheeks have disappeared, her face is thinner and has smooth lines, and she has two huge dimples.

In addition, her image in the film is gentle and touching, and she often shows a sorrowful expression.

It has a beauty reminiscent of Xi Shi holding her heart.

A light application of makeup, with delicately drawn eyebrows, certainly suits her.

During breaks, the crew of men would always surround her and make her laugh, which shows how radiant she was.

Zhang Yuan chatted with her for a while longer, laughing and talking.

This woman is known for being very conservative in her clothing. In the environment of Hong Kong, she not only never films nude scenes, but she also rarely films swimsuit scenes.

They are quite devoted in relationships, and they usually date for years.

There have been rumors about her, including that she likes women, but she rarely responds to them and doesn't bother to pay attention.

He's just a "normal person," especially in the entertainment industry, he's almost too normal.

Zhang Yuan talked with her for a long time and even invited her to dinner that evening.

The other party politely declined.

"Don't worry, it's not just you and me eating alone. Shishi is going too, and there are other people there as well."

"I just wanted to feed a few more people, so it wouldn't seem like I'm greedy for ordering a whole table of food."

"It's settled then." He made the conclusion without waiting for a response from the other party.

As she got up to leave, she glanced at her junior colleague beside her. She had chatted with the most popular older sister in the crew for about ten minutes, and her junior colleague looked rather dissatisfied.

She was clenching her teeth and pursing her lips.

"Let's go, I haven't met our male lead yet." Zhang Yuan clapped his hands and strode forward.

Liu Shishi opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, so she quickly followed.

"Brother Long, it's been a long time." Zhang Yuan took the initiative to find Wu Qilong, who was dressed in a Qing Dynasty prince's robe.

They didn't have much interaction, but they had met a few years ago on the set of "A Battle of Wits," so they had a brief encounter.

"Hello, hello, it's been a long time since we last met," Wu Qilong said warmly.

In remembrance of not seeing him, this person's nose and ears have gotten even bigger.

Of the five human senses, only the nose and ears continue to grow.

The eyes and lips, on the other hand, tend to become smaller and thinner with age.

That's why some people are average-looking when they're young, but become more pleasing to the eye as they get older, because their facial features gradually find a balance.

This is the same principle as little girls and boys growing up and maturing.

The fact that Wu Qilong's nose and ears are several sizes bigger only proves one thing.

He is old.

This woman, who is over 40 years old, has been working tirelessly day and night to earn money for her family since she was a teenager, making her look even older.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Yuan suddenly put his arm around his junior sister's slender waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Has Shishi caused you any trouble these days?"

“I know she’s not very well-educated and she keeps laughing.”

"I hope you don't feel awkward acting opposite me?"

She started dancing professionally in her teens, so how high could her education level be... Not only her, Li Xiaoran is also semi-illiterate, only able to understand scripts.

"Uh...you guys, this." Wu Qilong's pupils contracted sharply, and after a few moments of hesitation, he replied with a stiff smile, "No, she worked very hard."

"The performance was excellent, and the improvement was remarkable."

"I have made visible progress since I joined the team."

"Then I'm relieved." Zhang Yuan sighed, feigning concern. "I was just worried that she would hold everyone back, but you were too embarrassed to say anything because of me."

"I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight, come and join us."

"No... I've had a cold recently and I'm not feeling well. I don't want to infect anyone." Wu Qilong refused with an awkward smile.

"I see. Then get some rest. There will be other opportunities later."

Unlike his treatment of Liu Xinyou, Zhang Yuan readily accepted her refusal.

After taking a stroll, he told his junior colleague to continue working, while he found a quiet corner to sit down and take a breath.

He made a special trip to Hengdian, but it wasn't to discuss "Xuan-Yuan Sword" with Boss Cai.

He can handle this remotely; he just needs to send the contract for signing, and he doesn't have many objections.

This trip is mainly for Liu Shishi!
The problem revolves around two words: infidelity.

These two words are eye-catching, but it depends on the situation and the person.

First, they can be divided into two main categories: mental and physical.

Most people may not have experienced physical infidelity from their partner, but emotional infidelity is a possibility.

Last night I had erotic dreams with my female colleague, my wife's best friend, and a female celebrity.

Does this count as emotional infidelity?

Especially in today's social trend of "liberating the mind and body," it is already very difficult to avoid physical deviation.

But that only applies to the majority of people.

He had previously argued with Mr. Cai about casting Wu Qilong, but in the end he backed down and has been planning this ever since.

The most difficult thing to grasp in the world is the human heart, especially the heart of a woman.

Should I compete with Nicky Wu?
I'm fighting with someone over a woman?
joke!

Do dragons and phoenixes ever fight with pigs and dogs?
He never intended to do so.

However, if Liu Shishi is destined to fall in love with someone while filming, she must keep the situation under her control.

The so-called "feelings arising from acting" simply means immersing oneself in the character's emotions and spending time together.

But it's also inevitable that the other party will try to seduce you.

He then asked Brother Long to find the most discerning and capable person to keep an eye on things.

And they only report to themselves, without having to explain to anyone else.

The instructions were that no one should stop Liu Shishi from interacting with anyone or anything; let her play around and have fun.

But only when the situation escalates to the point where there's a hint of physical intimacy should I contact him immediately.

That's how that phone call came about and I rushed over.

This is the warning line he drew. Once the line is crossed, the police are called, and the matter is handed over to him to handle personally.

The bodyguard presented a report that was several dozen pages long, which he glanced at briefly.

It was simply that their feelings for each other gradually warmed up as the film crew shot the movie.

It started with casual chats, then progressed to more lively conversations, then to eating together at work, having dinner together after get off work, and occasionally going shopping together.

In the end, we often talked about plays and scripts together.

If this continues, it'll be time for "script reading in the dark".

Although he kept telling himself that this was something he had planned, he still couldn't help but frown and feel uneasy when he read the report.

It's been so many years.

I thought that since we hadn't seen each other often, my feelings for her were more of an elder's concern and a duty to take care of her.

But this inner turmoil at the last minute made him realize that he still had feelings for her.

But some people and some things, if you can't keep them, you just can't keep them; forcing them to stay isn't a good thing.

Just like he knew Yu Zheng was up to his old tricks again, if all else fails, I'll give up.

If you can't keep it, let it go.

If she insists on following her own destiny, then I won't stop her.

However, he still has one last step to take before that.

This is to give the other party a choice, and at the same time, to give her parents and Mr. Yuan an explanation.

This is what he is here to do.

That's why I was pretending to know nothing earlier.

She has to choose for herself, and once she chooses, she can't change her mind.

Just like reading a report herself, this choice will make her more determined in her heart and make her original hesitation clear.

Perhaps this was his final act of tenderness, a gesture he left for her. (End of Chapter)
