Superstar's Development Diary
Chapter 133: Lone Men

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Lone Men

The maid’s expression wasn’t great, but her lines were delivered well. Director Gu chose not to film the maid’s face, focusing solely on her shaking Su Qingwan’s hand, and emphasized Su Qingwan’s facial expressions instead.

Su Qingwan’s gaze shifted again, all her vitality seemed to drain away, as if she had lost her soul.

She pulled away from the maid’s hand, numbly removed the veil on her head, and with a "bang" knelt down to continue the wedding rituals.

Several miniature cameras positioned near He Jinxia’s collar captured the moment she closed her veil; tears slid down her cheeks just then, heartbreakingly beautiful.

"Second bow to the high hall!"

Su Qingwan heavily knocked her head on the floor, a few transparent tears fell onto the ground.

"The couple bows to each other!"

Su Qingwan changed direction and knocked her head on the ground again, tears streamed down uncontrollably.

"Enter the bridal chamber!"

...

"Cut!" After the male guest finished his lines, Director Gu promptly shouted "cut". This time, he didn’t stop to review the footage but asked the maid to help He Jinxia leave quickly as he needed to capture this scene of her leaving.

Since this scene only showed their backs, it wasn’t difficult to film and was done in one take. For safety, Director Gu decided to shoot it one more time.

Next, they had to film a scene in wedding attire inside the bridal room, and the entire crew had to move to a new set.

He Jinxia looked up at the sky, which had already dimmed, realizing that if she wanted to finish filming all the scenes in the wedding attire today, they would have to work overtime into the night.

The production coordinator came over to ask He Jinxia if she was willing to work overtime, and she nodded in agreement.

Understanding this, the coordinator immediately began to inform the crew members that they would be working extra hours tonight.

Cheng Xiaohua helped her to a place to sit down and rest, whispering, "Director Gu is still inside, yelling at people!"

He Jinxia had just been helped out by the maid and hadn’t heard Director Gu call for a reshoot, so she walked out of the scene and stood outside.

As it turned out, He Jinxia’s decision was wise; otherwise, appearing in front of them might have caused certain actors to resent her even more.

Cheng Xiaohua had just come out from inside and shared, "I asked others, and they said that Director Gu was overseeing another scene today and was very dissatisfied with how it was filmed. That scene was a major drama, featuring both the protagonist and the supporting actors.

"But for some reason, the four actors just couldn’t find the right feel, their coordination was off. If it wasn’t one celebrity forgetting their lines, it was another, one would be in a good state while another wouldn’t, as if it were cursed."

Cheng Xiaohua shivered, speaking with residual fear, "I heard they scoped the scene ten times and still couldn’t pass. Director Gu lost his temper on the spot, saying they didn’t deserve to be actors, treating acting as if it’s something to be tossed aside at will!"

Out of anger, Director Gu stood up and walked away, other celebrities quickly followed, hoping to persuade Director Gu to come back. Unexpectedly, Director Gu didn’t leave the set, but instead came your way."

At this point, Cheng Xiaohua patted He Jinxia’s shoulder, earnestly saying, "Fat Emperor, Director Gu is inside, using your performance just now as a model to severely criticize those four, still giving them a lecture right now!"

He Jinxia: "..." Should she feel honored?

He Jinxia frowned, saying in a low voice, "I’m not sure about the others, but given Luo Dingxin’s temperament and acting skills, he should have performed quite well, right?"

Cheng Xiaohua looked around to ensure no one was close by, then leaned close to He Jinxia’s ear and whispered:

"This, blame Luo Sifang and Gu Runfei for this. Yang Xiaoqing and Luo Dingxin were just dragged into it, their performances weren’t the issue."

He Jinxia lowered her gaze slightly and gently waved her luxuriously thick wedding dress sleeve. Suddenly, she stood up and said, "Let’s go, leave this place, we’ll head to the next shooting location first."

Working overtime to shoot scenes that evening, she didn’t know until she had finished and returned to the hotel for rest that Luo Sifang’s birthday party hadn’t been a success. To pacify Gu Qiao’s rage, all four actors had chosen to work overtime that evening.

As for He Jinxia previously using the excuse of needing to visit the hospital that evening to decline Luo Sifang, but in reality, she hadn’t gone to the hospital and chose to work overtime instead, Luo Sifang wouldn’t pursue this matter, and neither would Yang Xiaoqing.

They both knew that He Jinxia hadn’t really gone to see a doctor but had simply made up an excuse to refuse the invitation.

Her refusal communicated to both parties that she wouldn’t favor one side over the other, nor would she stand with one side.

In the evening, He Jinxia received a video call from Sheng Yan in the WeChat group.

A day had passed, and it was already the day after Sheng Yan’s fashion show.

The first thing that caught her eye was Sheng Yan’s handsome face, looking a bit tired. It seemed he had just woken up, barely had groomed himself, and some of his hair was still sticking up.

At this point, Aunt Rui and Mrs. He were also present, so the two elderly mothers joined the video call.

Aunt Rui was sitting on the living room sofa at home, and Mrs. He had also returned home. As soon as they saw Sheng Yan, they curiously asked a lot of questions.

Mrs. Sheng: "Son, did you just wake up? You look like you’re about to doze off again with those sleepy eyes!"

Mrs. He: "Yeah, you don’t look very energetic, you’ve even got dark circles. What were you up to last night?"

He Jinxia, lying on the hotel bed, chuckled along, "What were you up to last night, you weren’t out robbing somewhere, were you?"

As soon as He Jinxia spoke, she also received warm inquiries from the two elderly mothers, asking if she was busy with filming, if she felt unwell, if she was keeping up with her exercise...

These questions were all old topics, and He Jinxia answered them patiently without showing any signs of impatience.

While no one was paying attention, Sheng Yan left his spot to pour himself a glass of water. His phone, however, remained where it was.

What he didn’t know was that as soon as he left, a man appeared from behind where he was originally standing, lying on the floor, soundly asleep.

The man on the ground was dressed in a white shirt and dress pants, undeniably a man, but it was exactly because he was a man that it seemed so suspicious!

Alone with a man in the same room, this, this...

Aunt Rui hesitated, "Who is that man?"

Mrs. He blinked and coughed lightly, "I have a bad feeling about this."

He Jinxia: "..." +1, but she chose to remain silent.

Aunt Rui’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and she leaned closer to the camera, her eyes immediately enlarged to appear before everyone else.

After a while, Aunt Rui moved back a bit, revealing her solemn face, and said seriously:

"Hold on a moment, I’ll ask Yanyan about this. If he really is a... no, let’s not jump to conclusions, I’ll make a call first to find out the situation."

The next second, Aunt Rui left the video call. A second later, using her authority as the group administrator, she ended the video call and then furiously dialed Zhang Ming’s mobile number.
