Bai Ye said indifferently:
You can bully me all you want! I'm thick-skinned and tough, I'm not afraid of your bullying.
"Virtue!"
Duan Lingwei rolled her eyes at Bai Ye and said:
"Speaking of which, are you really planning to invest in Star Entertainment?"
“That’s right,” Bai Ye said. “I happen to have some spare cash recently, and I don’t know where to spend it. I could either buy a house or invest in financial products or stocks. Investing in Xingyu would be a win-win situation for us, wouldn’t it?”
"Aren't you afraid that Duan Chengxuan will cause you to lose money?" Duan Lingwei reminded her, "Things about entertainment companies are unpredictable. Maybe the higher-ups will introduce some new policies, the winds of change will shift drastically, and the company's valuation and market value will plummet."
"It's alright!" Bai Ye waved his hand and said, "So what if we lose money? I'm not short of that money anyway! Consider it tuition for our brother."
"fart!"
Duan Lingwei spat and said:
"Don't make up any relatives like that. He's my brother, he has nothing to do with you."
Bai Ye didn't dare to argue with Duan Lingwei: "OK, whatever you say goes."
Old women are just stubborn.
He's used to it.
"Alright, if you're willing to invest, then invest," Duan Lingwei said. "I'm not just bragging, but my brother is truly a genius in the film and television industry. He started from scratch, without taking a single penny from the family or using any of their connections. He went to find someone to apprentice under, and this young master of his own learned from someone for several years before starting his own business and building his own career."
"If you invest in Star Entertainment, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's quite possible that your investment will double or triple in three or four years."
"That's alright."
Bai Ye flattered:
"He truly is my brother!"
Duan Lingwei did not point out any further errors in Bai Ye's statement. Clearly, she was being hypocritical and was actually quite satisfied with Bai Ye's explanation.
"By the way, are you free tonight?"
Duan Lingwei asked:
"I have a cocktail party tonight, and I haven't found a male companion yet. It just so happens that you're back."
"Well..." Bai Ye gave a wry smile and said, "Let's wait a few days. Su Cheng has to work non-stop on set these days, she's incredibly busy. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go to a banquet with you at this time."
"I'll stay with you after Su Cheng is settled here, okay?"
Duan Lingwei frowned, but still let go:
"Fine, I'll give you face, but if you cancel my invitation next time, you'll see what I do to you."
"clear."
Bai Ye nodded.
It's obvious that this woman also has a clogged drain at home and wants to trick him into coming to her house to unclog it.
But now Bai Ye definitely can't be so scummy as to abandon Su Cheng, who has suffered so much, and go enjoy a seafood feast by himself.
What kind of person would I become?
Let's talk about it another time.
On the film set.
Su Cheng's performance has begun.
He rehearsed with Mei Ting.
Bai Ye and Duan Lingwei watched from a distance.
"How about it?"
Bai Ye asked with a smile.
"It's alright," Duan Lingwei nodded and said, "Although it's self-taught, the basic skills are decent. When acting, she can keep herself from being out of character and prevent others from being out of character. This kind of acting skill is already much better than most of the current top young idols."
"With that kind of talent, I can push her to become a top-tier celebrity, but that path is destined to be short-lived. After two or three years of popularity, it's over. If she wants to go higher, it depends on whether she has greater talent. I will create opportunities for her; whether she seizes them is up to her."
Bai Ye said, "Su Cheng is willing to work hard and endure hardship in order to become a big star and a big actress. She is not some delicate little lady. From now on, you can train her to your heart's content."
Duan Lingwei: "For an actor, hard work and perseverance aren't the most important conditions. The most important thing is talent. Without talent, no matter how hard you work, it's all in vain. Veteran actors aren't just famous because they're old..."
Bai Ye: "I think Su Cheng, who is not from a professional acting background, is able to deliver such acting skills. Her talent is self-evident, isn't it?"

Duan Lingwei watched for half an hour, then nodded and said:
"He's definitely got the makings of this job."
She glanced at her watch and said:
"I have something to do and can't stay here with you any longer. What about you? Do you want to continue watching here, or..."
"I'm not planning to leave for the time being," Bai Ye said with a smile. "But if you're going, I'll see you off."
"Forget it, you should stay here and take care of your little girlfriend!"
Duan Lingwei rolled her eyes at Bai Ye and walked out of the film set with a "clack-clack-clack" sound in her high heels.
Watching the graceful curve of Duan Lingwei's back, Bai Ye clicked his tongue twice.
"It's been a while since I've seen Ling Wei, and she's become more and more mature, even to the point of being overripe... It really does need to be harvested at some point, otherwise, ripe peaches will hang on the tree for too long..."
Next.
Bai Ye stood outside the film set, continuing to watch Su Cheng's performance.
To be honest, many plots that seem quite interesting on TV are actually quite ridiculous when filmed now.
For example, when watching horseback riding on TV, you might think the actors look so cool and dashing as they gallop on horseback, but when the camera zooms out, you can't help but laugh out loud.
There was no horse at all; they just rode on something random, filmed only the upper body, not the lower body, and then filmed other footage and edited it together.
We spent the whole morning taking pictures.
Su Cheng finally finished her work.
Bai Ye quickly stepped forward and handed Su Cheng a glass of water:
"How are you? Are you tired? If you are, we don't have to rush. We can take it slow."
Su Cheng took the water Bai Ye handed her, took a sip, smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and said:
"I'm very tired, but it's also been a very fulfilling time!"
"This feeling of playing a role for the first time is simply amazing!"
"You don't need to worry. I've memorized all of Xiaoxiao's lines beforehand. Since I'm going to be Xiaoxiao's stunt double, it's not a difficult thing for me."
Bai Ye smiled and shook his head, saying:
"As long as you're happy."
He took Su Cheng's hand and walked out, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I ordered takeout for you. Eat something good, after all, you've been working so hard."
"what?"
Su Cheng asked in confusion:
"Don't we eat with the film crew?"
She blinked:
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to give each other special treatment?"
“Su Cheng, you’ve got the concepts all wrong. ‘Special treatment’ refers to those big stars who use the crew’s public funds to eat and drink extravagantly and receive unbelievably high treatment,” Bai Ye said. “We’re paying for this ourselves, and it doesn’t go through the crew’s accounts. It’s a completely different matter.”
On a film set, the director, actors, and extras definitely don't eat together, and their meals are certainly different.
Extras might only get a fleeting appearance in a TV series or movie, but they all work just as hard and diligently during filming. Whenever it's time to eat or rest, they collect a boxed lunch provided by the crew and, regardless of the sun's intensity, squat down anywhere to eat. Some even eat on the steps. Compared to the meals of big stars, their food is incredibly simple, consisting almost entirely of white rice, with virtually no meat, and a bowl of soup with the bottom clearly visible.
Furthermore, extras on set have strict time limits for meals and rest. Unlike big stars who can leisurely enjoy lavish meals prepared by the crew in air-conditioned luxury vehicles and then relax and play games, extras wolf down their food. Some even have grime from filming on their faces, eating as quickly as possible. They need to start filming the next scene immediately after finishing their meal. If they miss their turn, the crew won't wait for them, and they might be canceled or replaced.
Previously, Su Cheng was basically treated like an extra, and even her meals were not peaceful because of Fang Xiaoxiao's tendency to cause trouble. But now that Bai Ye is here, can he let her suffer like before?
Bai Ye led Su Cheng to a room.
The dining table was already laden with the deluxe takeout that Bai Ye had ordered for Su Cheng.
Omakase, a Japanese bento box with a three-section cherry blossom lacquer box, is accompanied by a Japanese-style packing cloth and an insulated bag, making it a truly ceremonial meal.
Each dish is incredibly generous, with tender beef and fresh sea urchin roe, making it look very appetizing!
"Bai Ye, did you prepare such a lavish meal?" Su Cheng said somewhat awkwardly, "We're eating so well while filming, I feel like I'm committing a crime."
"You little brain, is your thought process really different from normal people?" Bai Ye chuckled and tapped Su Cheng on the head. "We're paying for it ourselves, we can eat whatever we want, what does that have to do with crime?"
"Alright, hurry up and eat. You still have so many scenes to film this afternoon! If you eat too slowly and it delays the filming schedule, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Su Cheng nodded reluctantly: "Okay..."
At this moment, nothing was more important to Su Cheng than finishing filming the movie seriously.
Bai Ye sat opposite Su Cheng, watching her enjoy her meal, and smiled gently.
Because of filming, Su Cheng was still wearing that light pink embroidered cheongsam, which outlined her curvaceous figure and graceful curves.
She had a pair of large, bright, clear eyes, a straight, prominent nose, and moist, cherry-red lips—a pretty face with almost no flaws.
Her hair was styled into a cute bun at the back of her head.
Cute and innocent, yet sexy and charming, making one want to... kiss her.
"Bai Ye, what are you looking at me for? Hurry up and eat!"
Su Cheng brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, a blush creeping onto her cheeks, and looked at Bai Ye with a reproachful expression.
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and said:
"These things don't suit my taste. I still prefer seafood..."
