Little Zhanzhan was horrified when he saw the scratches on his father's chest and back. At first glance, it looked like he had been clawed at by a cat, but the look of guilt and shame in his mother's face told him that it was not done by a cat, but herself.
Not knowing what to do, Little Zhanzhan felt conflicted. He just scolded his father and wanted him to stay outside because he made his mother cry but then, the situation was reversed.
It seems mommy is also at fault?
But he doesn't want to scold mommy…
What to do?
Seeing the confused expression on his son's face, Song Yu Han was extremely helpless.
Initially, he felt amused to death by his adorable son's way of complaining to him. Thus, he went along Little Zhanzhan and pretended to be pitiful.
Unlike Ran Xueyi, Song Yu Han was not so shy in front of his son so he was able to shamelessly display the medals he received from Ran Xueyi.
But under his wife's stern and strict gaze, Song Yu Han held back his tongue and comforted his son.
Song Yu Han: "Daddy is not hurt. It's just a few scratches so don't be sad, okay?"
Little Zhanzhan: "Really?"
Song Yu Han nodded: "Yes."
"Then, A'Yu can sleep with Brother Yun tonight?" Little Zhanzhan blinked his doe eyes at him.
In an instant, Song Yu Han knew he was tricked!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat night, under Little Zhanzhan's gaze, Song Yu Han went to sleep in the guest room.
The next morning, Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han drove to the set once again.
When they arrived at the small resort, the filming equipment was ready and several extras were already put on standby. Daren Wang sat behind the monitor as the supporting characters shot their scenes under his direction.
When he saw the two coming over, he waved at them to quicken their steps and as soon as they were close enough to hear him, he said, "It's good that you came early. Get ready, it'll be your turn after this."
Ran Xueyi was slightly surprised when she heard this since the schedule reported that they should be filming their scenes a little over an hour later.
After expressing her doubts, Daren Wang replied, "The third supporting actor did not arrive yet. Instead of waiting for him, it's better to film more scenes so we can finish early."
Ran Xueyi nodded to express that she understood and took Song Yu Han inside where the dressing rooms were already arranged for them.
After getting their outfit and makeup done, the two came out again and the other minor supporting characters also finished filming.
The third supporting character also arrived and was talking with the young director.
From afar, the actor looked refreshing and his features were somewhat adorable. He was a head taller than Daren Wang, a dimple on his right cheek, and he sported blonde hair.
Looking from where she was standing, Ran Xueyi was slightly surprised as she did not hear anything about this actor.
Adelle walked over to her side and saw her looking at the new actor, "He's a new actor from a no name entertainment company. Assistant Director Qing brought up his name when they were discussing the third supporting actor. He looked quite young but he's already 25 years old this year and was also part of an idol group called YouniQ."
"He's an idol?" asked Ran Xueyi in surprise.
Although there were a lot of idols who tried acting to boost up their popularity and attract more fans, only a few were successful enough to get into the rankings. Some made it through pouring in some money and some were placed by their powerful companies in order. But the few idols who really made it on top no longer returned to being an idol.
Not only the unexpected fame was the driving force that made them turn their back on their idol days, but the amount of money and recognition they could receive from it.
However, not everyone could easily get the stardom they desired from acting. Others could temporarily get it with the help of their agency, but it would still depend on their skills in acting and adaptability whether they could stay in the acting industry.
After all, no entertainment company would invest and boost an idol without getting any benefits, right?
"Yes. Assistant Director Qing was quite excited when he told us about him. So, maybe he really is great," Adelle could not help but also feel interested. She came from a foreign country and she did not encounter any idol turning into an actor in Ren Country so she was looking forward to seeing how this 'Idol' would act.
To be honest, Ran Xueyi had a bad experience working with an idol in the past.
Although they were all working in the same industry, she met quite a number of Idols who would do anything to get a standing in the acting industry. Besides, those she met in the past would always complain and find excuses to get away from their mistakes.
She hoped that this Idol turned actor would not be like others.
Song Yu Han saw her dejected expression and asked, "You don't like him? Do you want me to get him out of the film?"
He was quite sensitive to Ran Xueyi's mood and behavior. Hence, he perceived quickly when Ran Xueyi showed a bit of her discomfort upon finding out that the new actor was an idol.
Ran Xueyi immediately shook her head, "Since he's already here there's no need to drive him away. Besides, he didn't do anything so why would you do that?"
"But you don't like him…"
Ran Xueyi smiled: "It's not that I don't like him. I just had a glimpse of my past experience working with some idols."
She no longer said anything after speaking and walked forward.
When they got closer to where Daren Wang was standing with the new actor, they could not help but feel slightly surprised.
"...Your role is the step brother of Crystal, not a thug. Why didn't you dye your hair black?"
The new actor bowed his head and said in a low murmur, "I'm sorry."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing him apologizing already, Assistant Director Qing stood between them and interjected, "It's alright. It's your first time acting and I informed your manager at the last minute so it should be my fault for not telling you to dye your hair to black. Daren, you should also get ready, Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han's here."
Hearing that the main actors arrived, Daren Wang turned his attention away from the new actor and waved for them to get in their position.
Ran Xueyi no longer looked at the new actor and waited for the cameras to start rolling.
Song Yu Han's scene was next so he stood on the side. Adelle was on her manager mode so she went to the canteen to get a cold fruit juice and brought it back.
Just as she was about to leave the canteen, she saw the new actor together with his manager and accidentally heard their conversation.
"...Are you regretting your decisions now? We flew from the capital to this isolated place because you believed that nonsense that Director Qing told you."
"Did you actually really believe that you have the talent in acting?"
"You're just a washed-up idol that can no longer stand on stage and dance. If it wasn't because of your looks, would the agency still have any plans for you?"
"But you just have to bust all the plans we created for you! What are you thinking, Shi Yun? Let's go back to the capital and have you attend that party with the directors and sponsors as planned."
Shi Yun's appearance in the film was only due to Director Qing Luo's invitation. The role he offered for him to take only has a few scenes and lines. But in actuality, he wouldn't receive anything from the crew aside from his name being included in the cast list and getting freebies handed to him by the crew.
He was a newcomer in the acting industry so this much was expected and natural. He was actually very happy to have his name written in the cast list so Shi Yun accepted the invitation even if he wouldn't get any money from it.
In any case, it was better than being forced to attend a party inside a club where greasy old directors and sponsors would leer at him. The company he was signed under had already planned to have him please some of the directors and sponsors there.
If things went in the direction they wanted, he would become a plaything of one of the people in that party.
Shi Yun did not speak the whole time as his agent scolded him. Even if he wanted to refute those words, it still held some truths in it.
But even if it was reasonable for him to follow his agent and agency's intentions, he could not just do as they say.
"Manager, let's talk about it again after I shoot my scenes," said Shi Yun.
His agent was speechless and readied himself to break Shi Yun's expectation and have him come with him to the capital.
