Chapter 296: It’s Marriage, Not Mourning
Sheng An’ning thought Su Wan was lying to her. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly and when she was about to laugh at Su Wan’s old trick, she heard her agent’s voice from behind.
“Ms. An’ning, Director Li is here. He wants you to go over quickly!”
Upon hearing clearly what the agent said, pleasant surprise appeared on Sheng An’ning’s pretty face.
Director Li Shan who had groomed numerous stars!
Sheng An’ning’s eyes lit up. She had become increasingly aware of her desire to be famous. Initially, she had only wanted to be a singer but now, going into the film and television industry was a good option too.
At least, Sheng An’ning was confident in her own beauty.
She quickly tidied her heavy gown and then dashed toward her agent without taking another glance at Su Wan.
When Lu Qingyu saw how Sheng An’ning ignored him from the beginning, he realized it was impossible for him to hook up with this beauty.
In the past, he used to seduce beautiful women and had always been successful, so why was he being ignored again and again?
Lu Qingyu sighed gloomily. He walked toward Su Wan and asked her sincerely, “Su Wan, I’ve always felt popular with girls. Have I lost my charm recently?”
Su Wan examined Lu Qingyu from head to toe seriously and just when Lu Qingyu thought she would console him, Su Wan said mercilessly, “Master Lu, do you really think you’re charming?”
When Su Wan uttered the word ‘charming’, she dragged it on purpose to humiliate him.
Lu Qingyu darted her a look speechlessly. Why did he ask Su Wan for confirmation?
Lu Qingyu touched his forehead helplessly and felt his heart getting gloomier.
“Hey, you don’t have to be so demeaning, do you? I admit that the iceberg type of men like Jiang Xuecheng is very popular now but it doesn’t mean I’m outdated! Many girls still like me.”
“Alright, since you’re so confident, you may ask other girls. I won’t attack you anymore.”
As she spoke, Su Wan walked toward the crowd in front. Her purpose of coming here today was not to quarrel with Lu Qingyu.
“Hey, Su Wan, don’t walk so fast. Wait for me!”
Seeing Su Wan stride forward in her blouse and trousers, Lu Qingyu felt she looked good in such dressing. She looked smart.
When Su Wan and Lu Qingyu arrived at the shooting spot, the shooting had begun.
Sheng An’ning lifted her fluffy gown and jumped on the beach happily like a little sprite. The bright sun shone on her beautiful face and she looked so beautiful, it felt like a dream.
However, Su Wan did not place her focus on Sheng An’ning. The first person she saw was Director Li Shan, who was surrounded by people.
Coincidently, Li Shan turned and saw Su Wan in the crowd. He nodded at her.
Was he greeting her? Director Li Shan still remembered her!
After regaining her senses, Su Wan smiled elegantly and nodded at him too.
Few people who were present noticed the interaction between Su Wan and Director Li Shan but this scene fell into the eyes of Sheng An’ning.
Sheng An’ning gnashed her teeth secretly. She had not expected Su Wan and Li Shan to know one another!
Li Shan turned around very quickly. He looked at Sheng An’ning’s cold and still expression and couldn’t help frowning.
“CUT!”
Seeing Li Shan frown, Sheng An’ning was slightly stunned. Then, nervously, she came over with her gown lifted.
“Director, was something wrong with my performance?”
The girl’s voice was as gentle as a lamb and a glance at her pretty face softened the hearts of many.
However, Li Shan was not a person who had a tender heart for women. His voice was cold and he criticized Sheng An’ning directly.
“Ms. Sheng, although advertisements do not require good acting skills, please take note that you’re now playing a bride and you have to show the joy of marriage. You must have the proper expression, ok?”
Due to her special family background, no one dared to talk to her in such a tone since the day she entered the entertainment industry.
However, Director Li Shan obviously treated Sheng An’ning like any other celebrity.
Sheng An’ning’s face alternated between red and white. She gnashed her teeth and forced a smile. “Alright, Director, I’ll pay attention to that. Let’s retake.”
The second time round, Sheng An’ning immediately curved her lips into the arc of the new moon, making the smile on her face obvious in order to highlight the joy of getting married.
“CUT!”
Unfortunately, Li Shan obviously did not accept it. His brows knitted more tightly.
“Be more natural with your expression! Don’t exaggerate. Just imagine you’re facing the man you love. Every gesture of yours must give out a bashful and coquettish feel.”
When she was denied again, Sheng An’ning looked sluggish. She tried hard to keep calm when the third take began.
If only Jiang Xuecheng was standing opposite her. Sheng An’ning looked in a trance and her moist lips opened slightly, wanting to say that sentence.
However, before Sheng An’ning could say the advertisement line, Director Li Shan shouted “CUT!”
Director Li Shan was obviously angry. He almost yelled at Sheng An’ning.
“I said coquettish with bashful, don’t you understand? You’re going to be married. Don’t look pathetic. It’s marriage, not mourning!”
Director Li Shan was known to be harsh but this did not affect his reputation in the industry. On the contrary, many people wished to be scolded by him and given advice on acting.
In the entertainment industry, Li Shan was straightforward. Over the years, he had never lost his childlike heart and his films were not just for money.
Sheng An’ning felt aggrieved to be criticized again and again in public.
She looked up and her eyes swept across the people in the crowd. She could only see Su Wan standing calmly not far away, looking on faintly as she was reprimanded.
When she saw Su Wan’s relaxed and elegant posture, Sheng An’ning felt uneasy. She felt as if there was a thorn in her throat and tears appeared in her eyes.
From a young age, she had been held highly in the clouds but today, she lost face in front of so many people while Su Wan was watching!
How could Sheng An’ning bear being reprimanded?
Director Li Shan was angry and now that he saw Sheng An’ning’s teary eyes, he felt more irritable.
“Why are you crying?”
Sheng An’ning gave Director Li Shan a hard look. She felt that perhaps this man had been asked by Su Wan to come to create a stumbling block for her.
Otherwise, how could he shoot so many times and each time be directed against her?
Sheng An’ning wiped off her tears and suddenly pushed the makeup artist beside her away as she darted towards the crowd.
When the other people saw Sheng An’ning, they were all stunned.
What was happening? Had the spokesperson run away?
