After my divorce, I was targeted by the queen of bad movies.

"Cut! Sweetie, that performance was a bit too forceful. That kiss was on the cheek, and you were holding my shoulder with one hand while standing on tiptoe..."

Jiang Ye then turned Jing Tian around to demonstrate for her.

Jing Tian looked at Jiang Ye's handsome face, his expression slightly apprehensive, as he quickly approached her and stopped at her cheek. His strong masculine aura made her feel a little dizzy.

Her face was slightly flushed, and her eyes kept darting around.

"Sweetie, do you understand?"

After Jiang Ye finished demonstrating, he took half a step back and looked into Jing Tian's eyes.

Jing Tian wanted to nod, but then shook his head as if possessed: "I'm still not quite sure how to handle it."

"I'll do it one more time."

Jiang Ye was not annoyed upon hearing this, but patiently stepped forward to demonstrate again.

"That's too unfair."

Yang Mi clenched her fist tightly.

Okay, okay, is this how you play?

How will we look back at the scene where I filmed the mountaintop scene?

Liu Shishi felt incredibly satisfied with enjoying the gossip.

Does Sweet Sister need Jiang Ye to demonstrate this scene several times?

Who are you kidding?

If you need to demonstrate something like this, how bad must your acting be?

An Xiaoxiao stood aside, watching this scene, and couldn't help but shake her head.

My brother-in-law got ripped off again.

Wang Wen stood quietly in the corner, holding her thermos. She didn't know anything about acting, but such a simple scene required Jiang Ye to demonstrate and reshoot it. She felt that she could do it herself.

These women are all trying to steal Brother Ye from me.

It seems I need to speed things up.

Brother Ye must be having a tough time tonight. Should we buy some spa oil to help him relieve stress?

……

This simple shot took five takes to get right.

Jing Tian repeatedly rammed into Jiang Ye, sometimes with too much force, sometimes with too little.

But that's not the most troublesome part; the most troublesome part is turning your head to kiss it.

Whether to skim the water or leave a mark, Jing Tian has never been able to figure it out.

Jiang Ye patiently explained it to her again and again. Finally, Jing Tian lightly kissed Jiang Ye on the cheek and then withdrew.

"It wasn't a misalignment, they really kissed."

Liu Shishi nudged Yang Mi's arm with her elbow. Yang Mi clenched her fists tightly, but looked on with a gossipy expression: "It seems that Sister Tian is very willing to sacrifice for acting, dedicating herself to art."

Liu Shishi chuckled, "I remember there was a scene later on where the two of them were in bed together, bathed in holy light?"

Yang Mi clenched her fists even tighter.

No, I have to let this blockhead give An Sheng more screen time.

By the way, I'm actually the nominal director!

Yang Mi's mood immediately improved.

Where should it be added?

Should they kiss on the mountaintop, or have sex in a rented room?

"Okay, that's a good take. Let's film the next scene. We'll change clothes and makeup, and then we'll film a scene of studying in the study room."

An Xiaoxiao followed Jiang Ye to the makeup truck, where Jiang Ye kept instructing her: "Did you see Jing Tian's confession performance just now? It was a kind of heartfelt emotion. You should study this state carefully, so that it can help you quickly find the right state when you have similar scenes in the future."

"Understood, Director Jiang."

An Xiaoxiao agreed verbally, but inwardly she was complaining.

A heartfelt flutter?

Could it be a heartfelt confession from the bottom of his heart?

If I were to act in it, I certainly wouldn't do any worse than her.

None of these female seniors are any good fighters.

"Why do you call me Director Jiang?"

Jiang Ye looked at An Xiaoxiao with some curiosity. An Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "Brother-in-law, on set, you have to address people by their titles. That way, brother-in-law has authority."

Jiang Ye's lips curled up. Xiao Xiao was far superior to him in terms of interpersonal skills.

He suddenly remembered that Wang Wen had called him that way earlier. He turned around and saw Wang Wen following behind him.

"Is Wenwen tired?"

"I'm not tired. I'm just doing some odd jobs. What's so tiring about it? Director Jiang is the one who's tired. I saw you working so hard this morning."

Wang Wen held Jiang Ye's thermos cup gracefully, her face beaming with smiles.

"Okay, let me know if you're tired. Actually, I don't have much to do here. If you don't want to stay, you can go back to the company."

Jiang Ye's care made Wang Wen's smile even brighter: "It's okay. Being able to study by Brother Ye's side makes me feel full of energy."

"Really? Then I'll have to give you more responsibilities later."

Jiang Ye smiled and walked forward, and Wang Wen naturally walked alongside him, saying, "I'd be happy to."

An Xiaoxiao walked to the other side, smiling broadly, while inwardly complaining again.

Silly boy, when your brother-in-law says he'll give you more responsibilities, he really means it, it's not just polite talk.

Get ready to work overtime.

……

The filming progressed slowly that day, but it did not delay the original filming schedule.

When Jiang Ye was planning the shoot, he initially chose scenes with low difficulty and short lines. Even though Jing Tian and Yang Mi's acting skills were indeed problematic, they gradually found their footing with his guidance.

Both of them are actually very talented, but they were used to being pampered by directors and crews and stayed in their comfort zone, which slowly wasted their talents.

Now, under Jiang Ye's strict guidance, the two beautiful flowers are blooming again with dazzling brilliance.

……

After filming for a day, Jiang Ye finished work early and then took everyone out to eat.

It is a Chinese custom to strengthen relationships over drinks.

Jiang Ye wasn't very good at socializing before, but he knew how to handle certain things. Besides, Yang Mi was the nominal director of this film crew, so she would naturally take care of things.

The crew members all had their own opinions on Jiang Ye's performance today. They said that while he might not be on par with a big-name director, he definitely had his own style.

He doesn't yell at people on set all the time, nor does he lose his temper easily.

If the lighting is wrong, he'll go over and help adjust it; if the cameraman's position is off, he'll go over and communicate with him personally. If the actors are moving out of the frame, he'll go over and demonstrate it himself.

In this production crew, the only two people with higher status than him are Yang Mi and Jing Tian.

These two have already been arrested during filming, not to mention ordinary actors.

A director with a good temper, excellent acting skills, professional expertise, and who doesn't give arbitrary instructions, whose adjustments always convince people, quickly gains recognition.

Most importantly, he is also an investor.

So everyone enjoyed the banquet that night, and many people raised their glasses to toast Jiang Ye.

Yang Mi raised her glass to help him avoid drinking, and Jing Tian also took the initiative to toast with everyone. Liu Shishi, who came to visit the set, pushed the two of them aside, saying, "Get out of the way, I'll handle the drinking."

"No, no, no, you're a guest, how can I let you drink on my behalf?"

Jiang Ye was a little tipsy, but he still went forward and grabbed Liu Shishi's hand, trying to pull her behind him. However, Yang Mi pushed him back into his seat, saying, "Don't you know our little lion is a wine connoisseur? The three of us combined are no match for her."

"Really? Honey, you can't let Shishi drink too much."

Jiang Ye was worried that Liu Shishi, the guest, had drunk too much, as it was a matter of etiquette.

Liu Shishi said with a smile, "Sister Mi, look how much Brother Ye cares for her. Why don't you give Brother Ye to me?"

Yang Mi's forehead veins were bulging.

These girlfriends are all shrewish and difficult to deal with.
