At 10 p.m., Jiang Ye’s doorbell rang precisely on time.

Wang Wen got up and opened the door, whereupon Yang Mi and Jing Tian each carried a bottle of wine as they walked in.

"Has Brother Ye finished his meeting?"

"It's all done, and we're waiting for Sister Honey and Sister Sweet."

Wang Wen didn't follow them inside, but instead closed the door and went out, saying, "I'll go prepare some snacks and fruit for you."

"I've asked Xiaofeng to buy it. You should go and rest."

Yang Mi smiled and walked inside: "Brother Ye, let's talk about the play again."

"Great, I just had a new idea."

Jiang Ye gestured for the two to sit down, and upon seeing this, they immediately knew they were in trouble.

Oh no, this blockhead really does want to discuss the script.

It's completely genuine.

……

Life on a film set is simple and monotonous.

Every day, we film, review the footage, analyze the rough cut, and then make adjustments.

No wonder so many couples are born on set.

Jiang Ye has a dream world that provides him with powerful skills in directing, filming, and screenwriting. As he delves deeper into practice, he no longer adheres to completely copying "July and Ansheng" from the dream world. He has begun to develop his own understanding of many scenes.

The emotional bond between July and An Sheng, and the more detailed characterization of Jia Ming, the cannon fodder character, show how he strives to do better.

Yang Mi and Jing Tian's acting skills are also improving rapidly. They went from taking more than ten takes for a single scene to taking eleven or twelve takes, then eight or nine, and finally five or six.

On September 12th, when Yang Mi was filming the scene where she frantically smashed her guitar after discovering her bandmate boyfriend was cheating on her, Jiang Ye actually let her get it right in one take, which she couldn't believe herself.

"You passed in one take?"

Yang Mi stood there dumbfounded, fully prepared to smash seven or eight guitars.

She even planned that if she went over budget, she would buy a few guitars and smash them herself.

"Passed."

Jiang Ye looked at her with a smile.

"I passed? I passed? I passed? That's great! I'm so awesome!"

Yang Mi was overjoyed.

This is the first time we've filmed "Soulmate" in one take.

It felt like she had gotten a perfect score for the first time in her life. Her heart was filled with joy, and she was so happy she was practically beside herself.

"Sweetie, look who got it right in one take?"

Yang Mi excitedly ran up to Jing Tian to show off, and Jing Tian smiled and looked at her: "Congratulations, my sister Mi, you got it in one take."

Just then, Jiang Ye suddenly clapped his hands, and Wang Wen and An Xiaoxiao appeared in front of Yang Mi, pushing a birthday cake.

Happy birthday, Honey!

The entire crew swarmed around her at that moment: "Happy birthday, Honey!"

Yang Mi didn't react for a moment, then she excitedly covered her mouth and looked at Jiang Ye with surprise.

Is this what this blockhead prepared for himself?

Is he really that romantic?

Just then, Jiang Ye took out a key and handed it to Yang Mi. Yang Mi looked at the familiar key and looked at Jiang Ye with some confusion.

"This is the key that An Sheng used to rent a room with her first month's salary in this drama. She gave it to Qi Yue at the time, and I'm giving it to you as a memento, to wish you a fresh start, starting with this film, to say goodbye to bad movies."

Jiang Ye spoke sincerely, but Yang Mi wanted to curse.

What does it mean to say goodbye to bad movies?

Isn't this a blatant insult?

However, Yang Mi only complained in her mind for a second before opening her arms and hugging Jiang Ye tightly, then planting a big kiss on his cheek: "Thank you, Director Jiang, I love this gift so much!"

When the crew saw this, they all cheered. Although it wasn't a kiss on the lips, it was enough to excite everyone.

Jing Tian watched this scene with a smile, making a fuss while sending a message in the group chat.

[Da Tian Tian: Honey kisses Brother Ye passionately in public, with photographic evidence.]

[Little Lion: Did Honey finally get her way?]

[Tangtang: Honey Sister is awesome, she actually did it in public!]

[Sissi: Did you stick out your tongue?]

Liu Yifei's words made Jing Tian burst out laughing.

She watched as Yang Mi, her face flushed, released Jiang Ye, then made a wish and blew out the candles amidst the crowd, before uttering another sentence.

[Da Tian Tian: Do you want to watch the live broadcast with me tonight?]

[Little Lion: Sweetie, you're awesome! The carnival is ready!]

[Tangtang: Don't say anything more, I'll cover all your snacks for the next year, Sweetie.]

[Sissi: Is this a real-life version of July spying on An Sheng and Jia Ming's ambiguous relationship from the mountaintop? Sweetie, does it hurt?]

……

Jing Tian's smile froze. This Xixi was not likable at all.

I don't like her anymore.

Watching Yang Mi kiss Jiang Ye in public, Wang Wen smiled and joined in the cheering, even shouting, "Brother Ye, kiss her back! Don't let Sister Mi off the hook!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi's opinion of the assistant changed considerably.

An Xiaoxiao looked at the lipstick mark on her brother-in-law's face and cursed inwardly. Her brother-in-law had been taken advantage of again.

After the birthday cake was distributed, Yang Mi arranged a dinner party and invited all the crew members.

At the banquet, Yang Mi acted like a little girl, losing her usual fiery and straightforward manner. Sitting next to Jiang Ye, she smiled as she responded to everyone's toasts and blessings. When they had almost finished eating, she tugged at Jiang Ye's clothes and said, "Brother Ye, I also prepared a gift for you."

"A gift? What gift are you going to give me? It's not my birthday."

Jiang Ye didn't drink much today, since the main character today wasn't him but the birthday girl Yang Mi, but he was still a little tipsy.

"Come back to my room with me, and I'll show you."

Yang Mi's face was flushed and her eyes were watery. Jiang Ye didn't suspect anything and stood up, saying, "Let's go then. Let's go see her as soon as possible. I still have to deal with company matters tonight."

Yang Mi narrowed her fox-like eyes and got up with a smug look on her face.

When An Xiaoxiao saw her brother-in-law about to leave, she quickly got up, but Wang Wen grabbed her arm and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't bother Brother Ye tonight."

Why?

An Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Wen strangely.

Wang Wen whispered in An Xiaoxiao's ear, "Your sister Mi is going to confess her feelings to Brother Ye tonight."

"Confess your feelings?"

An Xiaoxiao was startled, then realized that it was indeed possible.

The atmosphere tonight has reached this point; everything has fallen into place naturally.

She thought for a moment, then obediently sat back down: "Do you think my brother-in-law will agree?"

"It's hard to say, but based on what I know about him, there's a high chance he'll refuse."

Wang Wen was confident and in control.

She knew Jiang Ye's personality well; he definitely wouldn't agree easily, even if the other party was a big star.

Jing Tian did not move at this time.

Her gaze was fixed on Jiang Ye's back, but her mind was filled with the scene of confessing her feelings in the study room.

If only that scene were real.

Jing Tian wouldn't ruin her best friend's plans, but she was also waiting for Jiang Ye to make a decision.

She had always had a feeling that Jiang Ye favored her more, which could be seen from many details.

Not counting the past, after filming, when directing his own scenes, he was much more patient than Yang Mi.

If you say you're not good at it, they'll demonstrate it to you again without saying a word.

Just as chilled lychees have their own variety without Yangmi (a type of honey), so too do pull-out chairs.

Therefore, Yang Mi will most likely go home empty-handed tonight.
