“All transactions in our company follow the principle of three-level consensus. Accounts exceeding one million must be subject to layer-by-layer approval.”

The same tone, the same demeanor, everything was like a replay of the scene. Cheng Fei’s emotions were brought back to that scene by Luo Yu.

“Your company is indeed rigorous.” Ling Jin looked at Huo Haoyan with cold eyes.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The camera zoomed out, suggesting that the confrontation between the two had officially begun.

Hearing “cut”, Luo Yu pushed back the chair he was on and stood up.

Cheng Fei was waiting for the other to mock him with the words “Although Director Xu’s bottom line is three times, I, Cheng Fei, only allow one pass.” Unexpectedly, Luo Yu only stood up and took back the mineral water by Cheng Fei’s hand, unscrewed it and took two sips.

As soon as he raised his eyes, Cheng Fei saw Luo Yu’s head half thrown back, his jawline was at a nice and sharp angle, and his Adam’s apple was rising and falling as he swallowed water. If Cheng Fei’s male appeal was overt and anyone could feel his strength and toughness, then Luo Yu’s sense of attraction and strength was hidden in the sheath.

If you pass by him, what you see was an exquisite scabbard.

If you provoked him, the sharp blade would be unsheathed and very lethal.

“Teacher Cheng, there are still a few scenes later, do you want to discuss them?” Luo Yu asked while twisting on the bottle cap.

Probably because of having drank water, his voice became a little softer, as if the hidden resentment between the two before filming didn’t exist.

Although Cheng Fei sometimes spoke bluntly and seemed to have low emotional intelligence, he was very serious about acting.

“En, we should go over it a bit.” He leaned his head over naturally.

After this confrontation, Cheng Fei discovered that Luo Yu not only understood his own role, but also put great effort into studying the role of Ling Jin.

“Look, when my line comes to this point, should we have an exchange of looks?”

Luo Yu opened the script and showed it to Cheng Fei. Cheng Fei discovered that Luo Yu had made a lot of notes, including jotting some pause points in the lines and places where the tone of voice was emphasized.

The strange thing was that Cheng Fei had only seen such small symbols as triangles and upward or downward arrows in the script notes of his friend Gu Xiaowei.

Was it possible that Luo Yu and Gu Xiaowei acted in a drama together, and even their script note-taking habits became similar?

Cheng Fei took a closer look and made sure that the marks on Luo Yu’s script were not just random scribbles. The triangle was marked where you need to interact with the opposite actor’s eyes. The upward arrow was the brewing of emotions, and the downward arrow was the release of emotions.

Luo Yu had digested every word of the script.

Cheng Fei was a person who could be described as “My attitude towards you depends on your attitude towards work.” So when Luo Yu showed his professional side, Cheng Fei immediately felt that this person was pretty good, at least it was not tiring to act with him.

Cheng Fei coughed and said, “What you said is what I thought. Otherwise, how about this. I’ll observe you, you raise your head and look at me, and then smile, the way you would look at an incompetent opponent… that kind of expression…”

“Expression of tactical neglect?”

“Right, it’s the kind that doesn’t hurt one much but is a bit insulting…”

As soon as Cheng Fei finished speaking, Luo Yu gave him a look of “tactical neglect”, arousing in him a desire to be angry yet could only hold it in.

The two communicated for a while, and their exchange of acting skills soared. They spoke lines back and forth, and their eyes were full of blades flashing as if they were fighting each other to see who was more capable than the other.

As a result, the day’s filming was completed more than an hour faster than expected.

The director’s assistant said that filming had never been so easy, because the scenes between Cheng Fei and Luo Yu were almost all done in one pass, and even if there were reshoots or NGs, it was because of minor problems like lighting, clothing and makeup issues.

Xu Han was so good-tempered that day that the whole crew found it incredible.

In fact, because the actors were in such good condition, Xu Han directly adjusted the night scene to be filmed the day after tomorrow to be filmed that night.

The assistant director thought to himself, don’t be so willful——for this temporary schedule adjustment, the actors may not have memorized the script well.

Unexpectedly, while everyone was adjusting the set, Luo Yu and Cheng Fei were in a corner. The two of them took the script and they spoke their lines one by one. They even discussed body gestures and expressions. When the scene started in the evening , the two of them entered the right state instantly.

This night scene was an exchange of wills between Huo Haoyan and Ling Jin. There was a long professional analysis on money laundering and taxation. Ordinary viewers might not be able to understand it so the highlight was to create an atmosphere of mutual questioning and confrontation, which was quite difficult. 

However, there was no mistake in the entry point or sequence of the lines between these two people.

Moreover, the aura of PK between these two people stirred up the atmosphere, making viewers focus on their performances rather than the lines themselves.

Huo Haoyan showed his boldness for the first time, his eyes were like a general attacking a city, charging deep into Ling Jin’s back camp. The two of them exchanged wills, refusing to give in.

Ling Jin said: “Mr. Huo, do you have to hit the wall to know how to write the word “desperate”?”

The corners of Huo Haoyan’s mouth raised, and the smile conveyed the sorrow and determination of Huo Haoyan’s character, “So what if I hit a wall?”

Even the cameraman was sucked into the tense atmosphere by the confrontation between the two, and his palms started to sweat.

“Is this a battle between two computers? How did they memorize such long lines?”

Xu Han said quietly: “Because they are professional actors.”

There was the sound of “cut”, and today’s filming was finally over.

Everyone cheered and called it a day.

The assistant director looked at the bucket of sugar-free Coke behind Xu Han. He had only opened one bottle all day long, and he hadn’t even finished it yet!

Xu Han touched his chin and said, “Why do I feel like something is missing today.”

“Coke? Do you want to drink it?”

“Not Coke.” Xu Han waved the megaphone in his hand, “I didn’t yell at anyone today.”

“Remaining calm and even tempered is good for the health!”

The assistant director thought to himself, Luo Yu was a treasure, you’re good, I’m good, everyone’s good.

Luo Yu returned to the dressing room, changed out of his clothes, put them on a clothes rack, put on his sweater and trousers, and said to Cheng Fei who was taking off his makeup: “Teacher Cheng, I’m heading back first. “

Cheng Fei paused and said, “Uh… if you’re not in a hurry… let’s have a late night snack together. Of course, if you want to stay in shape, then next time.”

The assistant next to him was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: It’s not easy. His Brother Cheng knew to take the initiative to invite other actors to have a late-night snack!

In the morning, he was still letting out embarrassing harrumphs, but after a day of acting together, he found that Luo Yu was on par with him in terms of acting skills and had a better temper.

Aren’t you embarrassed now, huh?

Luo Yu tilted his head and joked, “Teacher Cheng, are you serious?”

Cheng Fei coughed and said, “Of course I mean it! You want to eat, eat, if not then forget it!”

The assistant quickly said to Luo Yu: “Teacher Luo, don’t mind him. Our Brother Cheng talks like this every day, huffing and snorting and harrumphing. He is probably a fan of “Nunchucks”.” (TN: song by Jay Chou)

Luo Yu was amused by the other, “I know, so I also joked with Teacher Cheng.”

Cheng Fei said angrily: “I don’t find it funny at all, and I don’t like “Nunchucks” either.”

The assistant was obviously familiar with him and knew his character well. He did not shy away from Luo Yu’s presence at the scene and directly revealed his boss’s weakness: “Yes! Because you don’t sing in tune with any song!”

“Who said that! I can sing “Unity is Strength” very well!”

“Yes, yes, you must thank your college military training!”

Listening to Cheng Fei chatting with his assistant, Luo Yu also felt that Cheng Fei was actually a person with no airs.

After entering the parking lot, Cheng Fei got into the nanny car. After getting in, he nestled next to the window. This was obviously giving up his seat to someone.

His assistant was quite discerning and directly dragged the makeup artist to sit in the back row.

Luo Yu opened the car door and sat in the same row as Cheng Fei.

Cheng Fei’s assistant had already booked a private room. When about to get out of the car, Luo Yu suddenly felt a hat pressed on his head.

“I know you’re used to trending on hot searches, so you’re not afraid of paparazzi taking pictures! But you don’t have to be so careless!” Cheng Fei said in annoyance.

He thought to himself that it was not unreasonable that Luo Yu had always been scolded on the hot searches before. He was already careless enough, but this time he met someone who was even more careless than him.

Luo Yu smiled in his heart. This Cheng Fei was indeed like what he thought. He obviously cared about people, but the words coming out of his mouth were always so gruff.

“Thank you, Brother Cheng.”

Luo Yu pushed the brim of his hat down and walked out.

The environment of this restaurant was good. After Luo Yu sat down, he took off his hat and smoothed his hair.

The waiter came in to pour them hot tea. The moment Luo Yu looked up, the waiter almost poured the tea on the table.

She heard the head waiter say that if a celebrity comes to eat in the evening, she should take good care of them, but she should not ask questions, stare at the celebrity’s face, ask for autographs or take photos, and protect the privacy of the other.

When she first saw Cheng Fei sitting in the center, she was very calm.

But she was really shocked when she saw Luo Yu.

She could always read on the Internet that Luo Yu and He Mu look similar, but when she actually saw him with her own eyes, she didn’t know how to describe her feelings.

——Luo Yu and He Mu have completely different styles.

He Mu was indeed handsome, especially when he danced, he was extremely charming, but she always felt like he was wearing a mask. All his expressions and movements seem to be designed just to attract attention and stir up emotions.

But when Luo Yu raised his eyes and smiled at her, it was real and humble. The light in the box was orange, but Luo Yu’s face still had a sense of transparency, and his aura was tougher than He Mu’s, with a “dive into the night with the wind, silently and softly drizzle like the rain” feeling that was very attractive.

“Yes… I’m sorry.” The waiter quickly lifted the teapot.

“It doesn’t matter. I happen to be a little thirsty too.” Luo Yu didn’t care that the waiter overfilled the tea.

Cheng Fei handed the iPad for ordering to Luo Yu, “What about… what do you want to eat?”

Luo Yu took the iPad and looked at it, “Brother Cheng, it’s evening, so don’t eat too greasy. How about steamed pork ribs?”

“Sure!”

Luo Yu searched for the memories of his previous life. After he returned to the TV drama circle from the stage, he also filmed a drama with Cheng Fei, but Cheng Fei was married at that time. After filming, he always immediately went home to be with his wife. The two of them didn’t have much interaction with each other. He only remembered the other speaking coquettishly with his wife on the phone that he wanted to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms.

“Chicken stewed with mushrooms?” Luo Yu said.

Cheng Fei opened his mouth, looking like the image of someone who was happy to have found someone of the same kind. But the assistant next to him said, “Come on… The chicken stewed with mushrooms in this big restaurant will definitely not taste good.”

But Luo Yu knew from the look on Cheng Fei’s face that he craved it but was too stubborn to admit.

“Since I brought Luo Yu here, he can order any dish he wants.” Cheng Fei made the decision.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Cheng Fei did not have extravagant tastes, and he didn’t want to show off in front of Luo Yu. There were four of them so they ordered four dishes.

“There is work tomorrow, so we won’t drink.” Cheng Fei said.

Although it was just a meal, Luo Yu could feel Cheng Fei’s character. Although he was a little bit macho, he took his work very seriously and did not say anything hypocritical.
