Front of Him

At this moment, Yang Qiong really wanted to tell Lan Qing who Murong Qiao was, but he was afraid that he would make Murong Qiao unhappy. He immediately stood there and didn’t know whether to say it or not.
He couldn’t figure out what this Young Miss Murong was thinking, so he could only remain silent.
However, this reaction seemed to give Lan Qing a misunderstanding, making her think that Yang Qiong was agreeing to her words.
“You—” Lan Qing had even thought about which actor she wanted to recommend. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao replied seriously, “Just now, I thought that the actor acted quite well.”
Perhaps she didn’t know much about acting as Lan Qing had said, but she had written novels and scripts before, so she more or less had a certain understanding of acting.
Moreover, even a discerning person could tell that Lan Qing was targeting that actor.
As for whether it was a personal grudge or other matters, Murong Qiao didn’t care. She just couldn’t help but speak up when she saw the other party like this. After all, it was a production team she had invested in. If she let such a person cause any more trouble, her money would be lost for nothing.
Seeing Murong Qiao say this, Lan Qing frowned and hated her.
She hated it when others pointed fingers at her. Moreover, Murong Qiao had just said that Nan Jin’s acting skills were very good. Wasn’t that saying that it was her fault?
“I think there’s no problem either.” When Yang Qiong saw Murong Qiao speak, he immediately echoed.
Moreover, he also acknowledged Nan Jin’s ability, and it was an old friend who recommended him. “If you can’t get used to it in the next few days, we’ll move your scenes to the back during this period of time. We’ll film it after you’re familiar with it. We can film something else first.”
He also thought of a compromise to try to dispel Lan Qing’s original goal. At the same time, this was also to protect the other party.
Yang Qiong had some understanding of Lan Qing’s personality. She wouldn’t stop until she achieved her goal. However, this was in front of Murong Qiao. If she made a fuss, she might suffer.
However, Lan Qing didn’t seem to realize Yang Qiong’s good intentions.
“Actors need solid acting skills. As for their image, that’s a requirement for idols. Don’t talk about these things. We’ll prepare to film a few more times later,” Yang Qiong said and began to make arrangements.
If it was when she first arrived, Lan Qing might have really listened to Yang Qiong and prepared to return to acting obediently.
However, she still remembered Murong Qiao’s words in her heart. The other party clearly said that it was her problem. How could Lan Qing give up just like that?
Coupled with the other party’s beautiful face that could be seen with just her eyes, it made Lan Qing feel an indescribable sense of danger.
From the actress Yang Qiong had taken a fancy to, to the artiste who had been stuffed in by some unknown capital, Lan Qing instantly thought of all the identities Murong Qiao might have. However, she never thought that Murong Qiao would be the investor in this film.
This uncomfortable feeling was directly overshadowed. She observed Yang Qiong’s strange attitude towards Murong Qiao, causing Lan Qing to subconsciously react faster than her brain and open her mouth.
“You think it’s my problem?” She said it as a question, but it was a statement.
There was a hint of tit-for-tat hidden in her calm words. An invisible smell of gunpowder erupted from Lan Qing’s body and targeted Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows. “I just think that the actor’s acting skills are very good and don’t match the statements you mentioned.”
She was just stating the facts. Unfortunately, when these words landed in Lan Qing’s ears, the meaning changed.
“You’ve never experienced it yourself, so it doesn’t take much effort just to say it.” Lan Qing was a little aggressive.
She had never seen Murong Qiao’s face among the actors and celebrities, so Lan Qing subconsciously thought of her as an ordinary person.
When Yang Qiong, who was standing at the side, saw that Lan Qing seemed to be planning to say something even more overboard, he scolded her sternly.
“Focus on the things you’re supposed to do, Lan Qing.” Yang Qiong’s tone was much heavier, so strong that even Lan Qing forcefully stopped talking.
Yang Qiong’s face was serious, and his words were vaguely filled with anger and warning, causing Lan Qing to subconsciously take a step back.
Other than the strict requirements for filming, Yang Qiong rarely acted like this. He was usually approachable or gentle with everyone in the production team, so this was the first time Lan Qing had seen Yang Qiong like this.
“Forget it, I’ll give you half a day off today. Read the script well and we’ll continue filming this scene tomorrow.” Yang Qiong chased her away.
He asked the staff beside him to take Lan Qing away in an unquestionable manner. Then, after the other party left, he forced a smile at Murong Qiao in embarrassment.
Murong Qiao naturally could tell whose problem it was. She didn’t vent her anger on Yang Qiong and only said lightly.
“I thought about it just now. I think one sentence is quite right.”
“If the actor can’t do it, change to another person to assume the role. There are many people who are prepared,” she said calmly.
It was unknown if Lan Qing’s performance just now was intentional, but Murong Qiao didn’t want to evaluate her acting skills. Just a glimpse of the other party’s personality in the short interaction was enough to make Murong Qiao doubt this person’s value in the production team.
Of course, Yang Qiong understood immediately. “I understand.”
The most important thing was the production team. As for changing actors, it was just a common thing.
As he spoke, Yang Qiong heaved a sigh of relief. He had no objections to Murong Qiao’s decision to replace Lan Qing. He was even a little happy.
Lan Qing had been forced in by a company he knew. Her acting skills were not top-notch to begin with. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have only been slotted in as a second female lead after three years of acting.
“Director, you must know that we can’t let a single piece of feces spoil the entire pot of soup.”
As Murong Qiao spoke, she pulled down her mask slightly and panted slightly to avoid being too stuffy and hot.
When it was noon, the sunlight couldn’t help but become vicious. It brought with it the heat and light that everyone couldn’t avoid, clearly dividing things into two sides. Even the temperature was cut.
With Lan Qing’s departure, the original plan was disrupted. This scene had to be canceled at the last minute, so Yang Qiong asked everyone to prepare for the next scene.
Nan Jin, who was standing and waiting for the filming to start, could only prepare to change his clothes and pack up to rest temporarily. However, when he turned around, his gaze casually swept across the crowd and stopped.
His eyesight was not very good, but when he saw the familiar face that appeared from time to time in his dreams, he couldn’t help but stand rooted to the ground in a daze. He couldn’t help but want to take a few more glances. …Could it be his imagination?
Nan Jin looked at Murong Qiao, who was standing not far away from him. He even raised his hand to rub his eyes. When he saw that the other party was still standing there and even moving, he anxiously walked over, wanting to confirm his actions.
Murong Qiao was also stunned for a moment when she saw the actor who suddenly turned around become someone she was familiar with.
Perhaps there was really such a coincidence in the world that the person she wanted to see would appear in front of her..
