"Raindrops patter on banana leaves in the quiet courtyard, seven scenes, forty-one moments, eight repetitions, let's begin!"
The play then began.
Mei Ting paced back and forth at the door, seemingly worried about something.
"Sister!" Su Cheng rushed over, her face anxious. "Sister, I've searched everywhere, but I can't find the young master!"
Mei Ting stared at Su Cheng with a serious expression: "Don't lie to me, where did you hide him? Tell me the truth!"
Su Cheng looked incredulous: "Sister, what are you saying? I'm innocent! Don't you know my character?"
Watching the two perform, Bai Ye stroked his chin and said, "Is this a drama about a wicked concubine killing the wife's son?"
Inside the venue.
Mei Ting became agitated: "That's right, it's because I know you too well. You've long since had no place for Fuqing in your heart, and you've wanted to kill him for a long time. Don't think I don't know!"
Su Cheng shook her head urgently: "Sister, I didn't!"
"Snapped--!"
Mei Ting slapped Su Cheng without hesitation.
"what--!"
Su Cheng screamed and tumbled down the steps from the doorway.
"Stop, very good, let's prepare for the next round!"
Bai Ye shook his head slightly.
Mei Ting's slap to Su Cheng was forceful, so it shouldn't have hurt much. But Su Cheng rolled down the stairs, so it's no wonder it hurt.
Extras are indeed at the very bottom of the entertainment industry pyramid. They do all the hardest, most tiring, and most dangerous jobs, yet they receive the least pay.
Many celebrities don't even need to act in a production; they can simply use green screen technology to earn huge sums of money.
Take Fang Xiaoxiao for example...
Seeing that the director had finished calling, Mei Ting quickly went down the steps and helped Su Cheng up after she fell.
"Are you alright?"
Su Cheng chuckled and said, "It's nothing, thank you, Sister Mei Ting, you're so kind!"
Mei Ting smiled and was about to speak when Fang Xiaoxiao stormed over angrily and said:
"Su Cheng, how many times have I told you? Don't turn your face so the audience can see it. Can't you be a little more professional?"
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I..."
Su Cheng didn't know how to defend herself. She had tried her best to act. Whether her face was shown or not, she was in the play, how could she possibly see?
The director, who was in front of the camera, seemed to have encountered a problem. He walked over, frowned, and asked:
"what happened?"
Mei Ting glanced at Fang Xiaoxiao and said:
"Director, the stunt double just showed his face, can we include that shot?"
"It's alright, I should be able to cut it out!"
Fang Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her:
"No, director, having a body double's face shown is a continuity error. You're a director with high standards, let's reshoot it!"
The director said somewhat impatiently:
"What does it matter to you whether I have ambitions or not?"
Fang Xiaoxiao was just a minor supporting actress whom the assistant director pulled in through connections, and damn it, she had even more trouble than Mei Ting, the female lead.
Fault!
"Director, please don't be angry!"
Fang Xiaoxiao certainly didn't dare to fall out with the director, so she shamelessly said:
"I'm doing this for the good of our show, you know I really admire you. I've watched 'Red Sun' dozens of times, it's so well-made, it's the best film I've ever seen!"
The director said with a cold, mocking expression:
"You're mistaken, I photographed red, not the red sun!"
Fang Xiaoxiao said awkwardly, "Director, I..."
Su Cheng couldn't help but speak up:
"Director, shall we do another take?"
Bai Ye watched quietly from the side, appearing somewhat indifferent.
Even if he had a hundred ways to change Su Cheng's predicament, it was the path Su Cheng herself had chosen, and all he could do was respect Su Cheng's choice.

Su Cheng is exceptionally stubborn and has a strong sense of duty to those she has been entrusted with. Therefore, once she receives Fang Xiaoxiao's salary, she has to find ways to satisfy Fang Xiaoxiao.
Mei Ting couldn't stand it any longer and said:
"You should take care of your injury first!"
Looking down at the scrapes on her arm, Su Cheng smiled sheepishly and said:
"It's alright, Teacher Mei, my injury is nothing serious!"
After speaking, Su Cheng turned to the director and crew members, bowed her head apologetically, and said:
"Sorry everyone, let's do one more take!"
Seeing this, the director gave Mei Ting a wink, and Mei Ting nodded slightly. The director then had nothing more to say and continued preparing to secure another take.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's do it one more time, everyone. Okay, get ready, turn on the cameras, three, two, one!"
The assistant director is directing and controlling the scene.
While Bai Ye was watching, Su Cheng sent another message.
The acting process wasn't too complicated, but it must have hurt a lot when you rolled down the steps.
This time, Su Cheng performed perfectly, the director approved, and Fang Xiaoxiao didn't interfere or deliberately make things difficult for Su Cheng anymore.
After filming wrapped, Bai Ye came forward to help Su Cheng up and asked:
"Are you alright?"
After the scene was filmed, the crew members who had been setting up the set dispersed and gathered around the director to discuss how to film the next scene.
Su Cheng was like a forgotten person.
"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to me?" Su Cheng smiled optimistically. "During my time as a veteran actress, I've suffered much more serious injuries than this. This is nothing."
"You really don't take your body seriously!" Bai Ye smiled helplessly and said, "What will you do if you end up with a bunch of scars all over your body?"
Su Cheng chuckled and said, "No, I'm the kind of person who doesn't easily get scars!"
Bai Ye helped Su Cheng to a small stool, took out the medicine, and applied it to the abrasions on Su Cheng's arm.
"Hey Bai Ye, how was my performance just now? Pretty impressive, right?" Su Cheng said proudly, "This is the acting skill I honed over two years of playing minor roles. It's worlds apart from the skills of a newcomer who just entered the industry."
"To be honest, it's not very good!"
Bai Ye retorted, saying:
"You're not even as good as me!"
"How could that be!" Su Cheng retorted, "I'm a professional, and you're an amateur. How could you possibly be better than me!?"
Bai Ye: "Believe me, no one understands acting better than me."
The sea god, who couldn't act, would have been torn to pieces long ago in the carnage.
You guys use your acting skills to make money, but I used to risk my life for acting.
They are completely incomparable.
"But Su Cheng, the way you look in a cheongsam, especially those long, white, and slender legs that it accentuates, is just so... I'm totally smitten," Bai Ye said. "After you get off work later, I'll go with you to buy a few cheongsams, okay?"
Seeing Bai Ye's ambiguous expression, Su Cheng quickly figured it out and glared at him angrily:
"not good!"
What do you think about all day?
"I won't let you treat me like this!"
"How can this be considered disrespectful? This is just playful banter between boyfriend and girlfriend!" Bai Ye protested. "We've been apart for so long, I've been going crazy missing you, don't you miss me too?"
Su Cheng's fair face flushed slightly as she said, "No way! I'm filming every day, and my life is so fulfilling! I don't have time to think about unhealthy things like you!"
"Women, your name is hypocrisy!"
Bai Ye sighed softly.
You should know that when he was with Su Cheng, Su Cheng had only recently started working as an extra and was still a baby. Later, he helped Su Cheng become a woman.
He simply couldn't believe that Su Cheng wouldn't miss him after this!
However, Su Cheng was stubborn, but her body was soft. So as long as he persisted, Su Cheng would definitely not be able to resist and would have to obediently put on the cheongsam he sold and let him bully her.
"Su Cheng, are you alright?"
Meanwhile, Mei Ting, who was not currently performing, saw Su Cheng and Bai Ye practicing there and walked over with a smile to greet them.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing!"
Seeing Mei Ting approaching, Su Cheng quickly stood up and grinned foolishly:
"Teacher Mei!"
"It's alright, you can sit down, you don't need to stand up, I'll sit here!"
