Chapter 294: Childish

Li Yu was even more displeased when he saw how smug Jiang Xian was. He said disdainfully, “Childish,”
Jiang Xian didn’t care about Li Yu’s displeasure at all. He replied proudly, “No matter how childish I am, you still have to call me Brother-in-law in the future,”
Li Yu sighed, helplessly agreeing.
Jiang Xian suddenly felt dissatisfied. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m not childish at all. You’re taking advantage of me, though, aren’t you?”
Li Yu smiled but didn’t say anything. At this time, he didn’t come up with any theories.
“You’re still laughing?” Jiang Xian said in a somewhat frenzied manner.
Seeing Jiang Xian’s expression, Jiang Ling’er’s brain worked and finally understood why Jiang Xian had fought with Little Leopad. She was speechless when she saw Li Yu’s smug expression.
Facing these two childish kids, she sighed softly. “That’s enough. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll go down, and you two can continue.”
Jiang Xian and Li Yu were speechless.
In the end, they stopped bickering under Jiang Ling’er’s words.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them arrived at the set.
After putting on her makeup and changing into her costume, Jiang Ling’er entered the studio.
Today’s scene was not Jiang Ling’er’s. She was just pulled over at the last minute to save the scene.
The original actress had tried to increase her pay at the last minute, but it didn’t work, so she was unwilling to come.
At that time, the director asked Jiang Ling’er for help. At that time, she thought of her finished other works.
Another new one would only come in until after the New Year, so she agreed. There were only four scenes anyway, so half a day was enough.
The first scenario was in the garden of the general’s residence.
Jiang Ling’er’s appearance made the director sigh. With her temperament and appearance, she was already so beautiful that people couldn’t take their eyes off of her after dressing up. How blind must the general be to refuse in marrying her?
“Is everything ready?” asked the director.
Everyone was ready.
Jiang Ling’er stood on the swing, holding the ropes on both sides. A silver bell hung from her waist. As the swing swayed, the bell made a sound. The scene was simply ethereal.
The male lead was Cai Kun. He looked at Jiang Ling’er and actually forgot his lines for a moment.
The director shouted, “Cut! Cai Kun, what are you doing?”
Only then did Cai Kun react. He had actually forgotten his lines and was instantly a little embarrassed.
“What? Did I scare you?” Jiang Ling’er teased in order to not make him feel awkward.
Cai Kun knew that she was helping him out. He smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I forgot my lines. Director, please do it again.”
“Alright,” said the director. “Get ready. We’re starting one more time.”
The director said with satisfaction, “Cut! Not bad. Jiang Ling’er, touch up your makeup and change your clothes. We’re moving to the next scene.”
The director looked at Jiang Ling’er. This girl was obviously a newcomer, but she had crushed many veterans in the industry. Perhaps this was the so-called God’s gift.
The director had asked someone to cover for the actress’s absence mainly because there were only a few scenes and it only required some level of acting skills. The pay was not low either.
However, when looking for a newcomer, many of them didn’t have adequate acting skills. Therefore, he thought of Jiang Ling’er. He had seen her cting skills before and found that she was better than many artists. Most importantly, she did not care about the salary.
“Xiao Jiang,” the director said, “Our collaboration is over. When can we continue working together?”
“Director, you’ll have to ask my manager about this,” Jiang Ling’er said with a smile.
The director was stunned and looked at Li Yu. He didn’t know this person before, but after checking, he found out Li Yu’s identity. He was someone who couldn’t be offended.
“We’ll have time later,” Li Yu said perfunctorily. “After the new year, Ling’er’s schedule will be full for a year.”
Jiang Ling’er was speechless. How did it end up being a full year? She only had a few advertisements for Chen Group and a movie date with Li Yu. All of those were simply a piece of cake.
The director said with a smile. “It can’t be helped, then”
“Is this a new hire?” The director asked Jiang Xian.
“Director, this is my brother, Jiang Xian,” Jiang Ling’er said. “He just came back from abroad. He’s here to see how my workplace is doing.”
The director was a little surprised and immediately chatted with Jiang Xian politely.
In the blink of an eye, it was past 7 o’clock in the evening. Jiang Ling’er had also finished filming perfectly.
After bidding farewell to the director and everyone else, she left the set.
In the car, Jiang Xian began to ponder. After watching his sister’s four scenes, he had mixed feelings.
His younger sister had completely portrayed a girl’s tragic life within a few shots.
One look was enough to make people empathize with her. Her acting skills were simply superb.
This role was so good, so why did the scriptwriter want her to die? This character should get a good life..
