Chapter 112 Remember, Mrs. Tan Lu Fang stood there with a dark expression. Director Jiang and the producer couldn't ignore it, thinking something had gone wrong and angered their main investor. "Mr. Lu, is there something you're not satisfied with?" Lu Fang, fully utilizing his power as the main investor, crossed his arms and frowned, looking at the two embrace with displeasure. "Your crew is so inefficient? No wonder it's so expensive." Director Jiang: ... Inefficient? Isn't this the basic process of filming? Only by rehearsing well can filming proceed smoothly. Isn't it inefficient to not rehearse! "You are right, we'll start shooting immediately." Whatever the main investor says, goes. Normally, with Director Jiang's personality, he wouldn't tolerate the investors interfering with the filming. But Lu Fang's money was too much, and with a Best Actor and Best Actress, a little rehearsal wouldn't cause any problems during the actual shooting. Thus, under Lu Fang's stern gaze, Director Jiang gave an order, and they began to film. Within two minutes, Lu Fang's face turned even darker. In this scene, Su Jingxi and Liang Qian performed exceptionally smoothly: meeting, approaching, hugging, kissing. The moment Su Jingxi reached out to cup Liang Qian's face and leaned in, Tan Zheng coldly kicked over the table with the hot drinks. "..." Song Ni, who witnessed the whole process, found Lu Fang's actions quite amusing. The filming was interrupted, and everyone looked at the instigator. Lu Fang, however, remained composed and calmly said, "My hands were itchy, sorry. Please continue filming." He then called his assistant to clean up the mess and asked him to buy more hot drinks. Itchy hands? Why did he kick the table? Song Ni couldn't help but laugh and excitedly spoke to Tan Zheng beside her. "So this is how Lu Fang acts when he's jealous. But Liang Qian is an actress, and kissing scenes are normal. If Lu Fang gets angry every time, won't he explode?" Tan Zheng was noncommittal. Any man would get angry seeing another man touch the person they like. Let alone kissing, even a loving hug would make them explode. Song Ni's eyes flickered, and she asked again. "What if I were filming a kissing scene with Su Jingxi today, and you saw it, would you do the same as Lu Fang?" Standing aside with a dark expression, not wanting to watch but having to, and kicking over the table to interrupt filming just as they were about to kiss. Tan Zheng snorted coldly. "You can try." Kick over the table? He would flip the entire film crew. However, Song Ni's words did remind Tan Zheng. She was the third female lead, so it was impossible for her not to have scenes with male actors. Thinking of this, the man's brows furrowed. "You have such scenes too?" Song Ni looked up at the man whose eyes were already unfriendly and blinked. If she remembered correctly, she had a scene with Su Jingxi a few days later. Although it wasn't a kissing scene, they would need to hug and embrace. However, Tan Zheng wouldn't be there then, right? Thinking this, Song Ni blinked. "No, I'm just a minor character." Tan Zheng, whether he believed her or not, leaned down slightly, resting his hands on the armrests of his wheelchair, as if embracing Song Ni from behind and whispering menacingly into her ear. "It better not be." Song Ni raised her hand and touched her itchy earlobe. Tan Zheng, that scoundrel, was as possessive as ever. She was acting, so she had to have professional conduct! Anyway, as long as he didn't see it while filming, it would be fine. At this moment, however, Song Ni was perfunctorily appeasing Tan Zheng. "Okay, okay, I know." Seeing the young girl's indifferent attitude, Tan Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out to pinch Song Ni's earlobe until it turned red. "Remember, Mrs. Tan." Song Ni unceremoniously swatted his hand away. "I'm here to learn how to act!" Tan Zheng snorted coldly again. Learn to act? Learn how to kiss other men? However, Song Ni's learning journey today was destined to be unsuccessful. First, Lu Fang kicked over the table because his hands were itchy, then he coughed earth-shatteringly because his throat was itchy, and then he received a phone call and cursed at the other party. It was unclear if he was making veiled accusations. Regardless, after filming three or four takes, Su Jingxi and Liang Qian still couldn't kiss. Each time they were just one step away. Later, Lu Fang stopped causing trouble, but it was Liang Qian who made NG at the last moment. After several interruptions, Director Jiang dared not speak out of anger. He had no idea what was wrong with Lu Fang today. He had collaborated with him before, and Lu Fang had been aloof, never interfering with anything on set, just a cool main investor. Why had he become an interfering investor today? So, Director Jiang could only seize on Liang Qian's mistake. "Xiao Liang, if you're not in the right state, take a break first." Liang Qian had been acting for so many years, and she hadn't been spoken to like this by a director since winning Best Actress. But today, it was indeed her fault. "I'm sorry, Director Jiang." Liang Qian stood up, separating herself from the scene, and her chemistry with Su Jingxi significantly diminished. Seeing this, Lu Fang's scowl finally eased a little. Liang Qian's agent knew about the entanglement between Liang Qian and Lu Fang. After giving her a down jacket and escorting Liang Qian back to the RV, he asked, "What are you entangled with again?" Liang Qian took a sip of hot water to warm herself up. When she heard her agent's words, her eyes showed a moment of shock, and she shook her head. "I don't know." She had clearly explained everything. She had dumped Lu Fang back then to film, which was her fault, but after so many years, Lu Fang had already gotten his revenge. Her acting career hadn't been easy; what else did Lu Fang want? Thinking this, Liang Qian sighed, suddenly feeling a sense of confusion about her future. Was she really going to be entangled with Lu Fang forever? Over there, seeing Liang Qian return to the RV, Lu Fang decided not to stay any longer. He had come purely to be angered today. Director Jiang stepped forward and apologized, though he didn't know the reason. "Mr. Lu, it might be too cold today, and the actors' condition isn't very good." Lu Fang just glanced at him and sneered. "This drama is so superficial now, it needs to rely on intimate scenes between the male and female leads." With that, Lu Fang tidied his coat and left, leaving Director Jiang bewildered in the wind. Why was Mr. Lu angry? He had sent this script to Lu's company for Lu Fang to review personally, so why was it superficial now? There were less than three intimate scenes between the male and female leads in the entire drama! Besides, kissing and hugging are the most normal things when feelings are involved. Director Jiang couldn't figure it out and looked at the producer next to him. The producer was also confused. "Is it just that Mr. Lu is in a bad mood today?" That was the only explanation. Director Jiang rubbed his forehead. Perhaps he was getting old, but this visit from the main investor to the set had left him feeling exhausted. Thinking this, Director Jiang looked at Song Ni and Tan Zheng again. Seeing the imposing aura emanating from the man, he asked, "Do you know who Song Ni's husband is?" The producer shook his head again, bewildered. Tan Zheng: If you have kissing scenes, I'll smash the set? Song Ni: ... Lu Fang will pay anyway? Tan Zheng: ????? (End of this chapter)
