C28 The Elegance of the Movie Queen

The next morning, after Chiang Mochen left, seeing the car in the distance, Sister Xia told Yan Xi about the yesterday's call from Bai Luofan. "Do you want to return his call?"

"No." Yan Xi rejected coldly. She looked at the script then continued, "It's about time he had a taste of his own medicine to be ignored."

It is said Chiang Yumeng applied for leave. I heard the Directing Team has already removed her from the lead and replace her for the supporting role. You just need to do your best and I'll handle the rest."

"Okay, Sister Xia, sorry for the trouble, you've been working so much. What time do we start filming?"

"At Nine, we'll go together."

By the time Yan Xi arrived at the studio, the crew already had everything prepared. There seems to be a lot more artists in the studio today. Yan Xi were to act the second and third scenes with the male lead.

"Zhang Yi will be playing the male lead. He's a celebrity under contract with Twin Suns. He's never risen to stardom." Sister Xia whispered.

"Mm, right." Yan Xi did not greet him. She doesn't let her personal feelings interfere with her work, regardless whether the person she is working with is a veteran or newbie, work was work. To her, they were the same.

Assistant Director looked at today's script and walked towards Yan Xi. "Today's scene is a bit difficult, after the crying scene, we will go directly to the memories of the past. In the memory scene, the male lead and you were still a couple. Can you grasp such emotion?"

Even though Assistant Director is aware of Yan Xi's brilliant acting, he couldn't help but still feel a bit anxious.

"Sure." Yan Xi read the script ahead of time and understood the emotions required for today's scene.

Assistant Director nodded and went over to Zhang Yi. After checking with all other departments, they started filming.

When the other actors went into the scene, Yan Xi followed behind while holding her skirt. Unlike the previous scene, this scene required intense energy. As soon as she saw the male lead, she needed to sob, a sad but reluctant cry.

Director Chen and Assistant Director anxiously waited for Yan Xi's performance while sitting in front of the screen.

"No!"

Yan Xi shouted weakly and was in character, guiding the rhythm of the whole act. She tiptoed towards the male lead, expressing she wanted to to get close to him yet hesitating to do so.

All the actors and crew who were watching the scene play out were in awe by Yan Xi's breathtaking performance. No one expected she could burst into tears at the exact moment when her emotion reached its peak.

"You …" Zhang Yi stepped forward. His acting were only suffice.

Yan Xi knelt on the floor and bawled uncontrollably. The director raised his hand and the camera focussed on Yan Xi's profile. From her eyes down to her chin, every expression was perfectly interpreted by her.

When the director shouted out "Cut!", everyone was overwhelmed by the scene.

"No wonder Yan Xi was awarded the best actress, aka the movie queen. That was amazing!"

"I think for her to portray the female lead is an understatement. This movie of ours will definitely be a blockbuster."

Sister Xia, standing on the side, clasped her hands. "Thank goodness, Yan Xi has returned!" Back then, when Yan Xi announced that she would be retiring from making another movie, the person whom was most devastated was Sister Xia. She knew better than anyone how much effort Yan Xi put in to achieve today's performance. Apart from her natural talent, the hard work and criticism she had to overcome was not something an ordinary person can endure.

At her peak of being most popular, she chose to keep herself hidden. The decision was a loss to the entertainment industry. With her beauty and acting skills, she definitely had the qualifications to be internationally recognised.

Yan Xi was able to be in and out character very quickly. She returned to her original self and walked to the director. Looking at the screen, she said, "The scene we did just now, do you need to take another shot from a different angle?"

After all, this movie was indeed a challenge to film and to act.

Director Chen had admiration for Yan Xi, but as he looked at the screen, he hesitated, "If we were to film another take on the left side, can you ensure you can replicate your actions to perfection? This would be extremely difficult. "

To act a crying scene wasn't difficult but to replicate the crying scene over and over again was definitely the greatest test for any actor.

Yan Xi thought for a moment before nodding firmly. "Yes, I would like to try, let's do another take."

Assistant Director was surprised, then shouted, "Everyone, let's do another take, get ready!"

This is the demeanour of a true professional actor. She was prepared to do everything in her power to accomodate the director's requirement for the scenes. Most importantly, Yan Xi had the ability to perform flawlessly.

The incident with Bai Luofan and Chiang Yumeng did not affect her acting skills, instead, it gave her a boost of motivation!

With Yan Xi's superb performance, which everyone witnessed, the two consecutive scenes were done in the morning. In their break, Sister Xia rushed over to Yan Xi with some fruit she prepared, "Have some fruits before your touch up."

When Yan Xi was working, she was always lost in time. It was always Sister Xia who looked after her.

"Thank you." Yan Xi took two mouthful of fruit when she saw Sister Xia angrily hung up the phone. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"It was Bai Luofan. Because he can't find you, he had called me more than ten times already." Sister Xia shook her head annoyingly. "If only he knew earlier this was the conclusion, he wouldn't have done what he did!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Xia's phone rang again.

Yan Xi's eyes darkened. She put down the fruit. "I'll answer it. I can't let him annoy you like this all the time."

"Sister Xia, where is Yan Xi? Have her call me back immediately! " Bai Luofan shouted, when Bai Luofan heard that the call was answered.

"What is it you want with me?" Yan Xi answered calmly.

"Yan Xi! I couldn't get through to you. Are you still at the studio? You …" Bai Luofan hesitated.

"I still have to work to do, if there's nothing else, Goodbye."

"No, listen! I've done a lot thinking and have thought this through, we'll get married as soon as possible. As long it's what you want to do, you can do as many movies as you want. I'll help you to the best of my abilities. Yan Xi, I can't be without you. I'll book the first flight and come to you, then we'll register our marriage immediately! "

This was the only solution he can only think of while he was drinking all night.

If it wasn't for the fact, Yan Xi was from the Yan family, he could easily give up on her for Chiang Yumeng. However, majority of the business dealings of the Yan Family were located overseas. If he were to become the son-in-law of the Yan family, he should be able to receive some inheritance, which would be very beneficial for his future.

As long as Yan Xi haven't seen the videos, he thought there was still chance to save their relationship. Yan Xi wouldn't leave him since she loved him so much. As for Chiang Yumeng, Bai Luofan didn't have her in consideration yet.

"Register our marriage?" Yan Xi laughed, "Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you say the marriage registration was postpone indefinitely? Now, you're going back on your words so quickly?"

"I lost my temper then and blurted that out. Stay put and wait for me, I'll come and look for you right now!"

"Are you coming by yourself or will you be bringing Chiang Yumeng with you? Your performance in the video was so passionate, are you willing to leave her?" Yan Xi took a deep breath and sternly said, "Bai Luofan, don't treat me like a fool."

"Yan Xi, don't believe the rubbish on the internet. I was afraid that you would overthink it so to show my sincerity, I've suggested we now register our marriage. Don't worry, I will definitely explain it to you properly. Yumeng and I only have a working relationship. Our relationship is definitely not how the world sees it. All the photos and videos are fake!"

"Since that's the case, terminate her contract. The only way you can prove to me you are innocent is when she leaves Huihuang Entertainment." Yan Xi's voice grew colder.
