Chapter 276: Turn Back and Eat Her Gra.s.s

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

There was a fruit basket on the table.

The two of them pretended not to see it.

“Shi Xi, I hope you can return to the set and continue to play Tang Xi’s role,” Director Yan said seriously.

Shi Xi was slightly surprised. “Why? Nan Wan doesn’t want to continue filming?”

Otherwise, why would Director Yan turn back and eat her gra.s.s?

Chu Yuan explained, “It’s not that Nan Wan isn’t willing to continue filming, it’s just that Director Yan is dissatisfied with Nan Wan’s acting skills.”

Shi Xi was even more surprised. “Then… the 50 million investment that Nan Wan brought in?”

Chu Yuan said, “Director Yan is willing to give up the additional investment just to get Nan Wan to leave the production team.”

Shi Xi looked at the expressionless Director Yan and said in admiration, “Director Yan is really magnanimous!”

Director Yan took a deep breath. “I sincerely want to invite you back to the set to continue playing Tang Xi’s role.”

“I do want to go back, but as you can see, my foot doesn’t allow it.” Shi Xi moved her foot awkwardly. “Tang Xi has many martial arts scenes. Even if I remove the cast, I can’t just move it.”

The two looked at the cast on Shi Xi’s foot and fell silent.

Chu Yuan looked at Director Yan.

He was the one who made the decision.

The maid made rose tea and brought it over. Shi Xi picked up a cup and drank it slowly.

Ever since her ankle injury, she had been living a quiet life for a few days.

She was almost slacking off.

If she wasn’t filming, then she wasn’t filming. Anyway, with the money she had saved, she wouldn’t starve to death.

Chu Yuan asked in a low voice, “Director Yan, if Shi Xi goes back, she won’t be able to film martial arts scenes. She can only use stunt doubles.”

Director Yan didn’t like actors using stunt doubles, especially the main characters.

However, Shi Xi’s foot was injured. Not only was she unable to film martial arts scenes now, but after the cast was removed, she still had to recuperate properly.

This was a dilemma for Director Yan.

After thinking for a long time, Director Yan finally made up his mind and said, “It doesn’t matter. You can use the previous scenes. There’s no need to reshoot.”

“I’ll try my best not to let you move for the later scenes. You just need to stand there.

“If there’s a martial arts scene, use a stunt double.”

Director Yan had already made a lot of concessions for Shi Xi.

Shi Xi: “…”

She could finally see Director Yan’s sincerity.

She could tell that Director Yan really wanted her to return to the production team.

She really wanted to know what Nan Wan had done to force Director Yan to such an extent.

Shi Xi said hesitantly, “But I’ve already accepted a new script. I’ll be joining the production team next month.”

Director Yan’s expression was twisted. “Whose script did you accept? What level of production is it?”

“Kuai Xue Entertainment invested in it themselves. It should be a B-Grade online drama, right?” Shi Xi said, “It’s a relaxed show about sweet talk.”

Director Yan was expressionless. “[Nine Blades of Tang] is an S-Grade popular drama.”

There was a difference of two levels between the two!

Chu Yuan said to Shi Xi, “Shi Xi, why don’t you get your manager to come over? We can all sit down and discuss it together and see how we can balance your time.”

Hearing Chu Yuan say this, Shi Xi nodded and called Han Chuan.

At this moment, Shi Xu came in from outside.

“You are?” When Shi Xu saw that two unfamiliar men had come to his house, he frowned slightly.

Did they come to disturb Xi Xi?

“Brother, you’re back.” Shi Xi controlled her electric wheelchair and said, “This is my director, Director Yan, from [Nine Blades of Tang].

“The other one is the male lead of our crew, Chu Yuan. He’s a three-time Best Actor. He’s super awesome!”

Hearing Shi Xi’s introduction, Shi Xu sized up the two of them.

“This is my brother, Shi Xu.” Shi Xi’s eyes curved as she introduced the two of them.

“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Shi.” Chu Yuan smiled slightly.

Shi Xu walked in and asked, “May I know why the two of you have come to look for Xi Xi?”
