Do You Know About Rebirth? (2)

Wei Ming looked at the relaxed Shan Yatong and felt a little uncomfortable. After three years since her debut, Wei Ming wasn’t as good as a rookie. She had fallen to the point where a rookie had to intercede for her. Who did this rookie think he was?

Covering the discomfort in her heart, Wei Ming forced a smile and said, “Give me another chance. I’ll definitely act it well.” However, her eyes unwillingly swept past Shan Yatong.

Most of them had spent a lot of time in the entertainment industry, so they naturally understood that Shan Yatong’s unintentional actions had made the A-list artist in this industry unhappy. Xiao Qishen felt even more irritated. How could those people look at the person he liked with that kind of eyes? His eyes turned cold, “Director Li, let’s continue.”

When the shooting started, Xiao Qishen was very different from the previous times when he had restrained his aura. This time, he didn’t restrain his acting skills at all. In a few scenes, Wei Ming’s acting skills were suppressed by Xiao Qishen to the point that she didn’t have any outstanding performances.

In the entertainment industry, it wasn’t necessary to use words or violence to teach a person a lesson. It was a tacit agreement for everyone in the entertainment industry.

“Wei Ming! If you don’t know how to act, go get me a lunch box. There are a lot of people in this industry who have beautiful faces, and they are also A-list actors!” Li Nan’s roar was still powerful. Shan Yatong took the script from his face and said in a confused voice, “Wood Li, what are you roaring about? Do you think you’re the male lead of a romance drama?!”

“Pa!”

The script in Li Nan’s hand fell to the ground. He turned his head in disbelief and stared at the youth who continued to cover his face with the script. Only that person would say that. This youth wouldn’t know his nickname because no one dared to call him that other than that man.

When Shan Yatong said this, his voice wasn’t loud, but the people around him could still hear him clearly. Perhaps other than Li Nan and Liao Ran, everyone thought that Li Nan was angry because of this newcomer’s arrogance.

Wei Ming lowered her head to hide the smile on her face. A rather popular newcomer was actually acting like a big shot in front of an international director. Should she say that this kid didn’t have a brain? She really couldn’t understand why such a brat could climb up to this stage in such a short period. Could it be that it was as the rumors said, that this Shan Yatong was someone that Tang Ruanqing was taking care of?

Compared to other people’s surprise, Xiao Qishen was much calmer. His gaze fell on Li Nan. Li Nan’s expression was not one of anger, but more of…shock. It seemed that these words had a great impact on him. If it wasn’t for the fact that Li Nan had a good relationship with his wife, Xiao Qishen would have suspected that his lover had said these words.

The strange atmosphere around them made Shan Yatong wake up from his daze. He sat up and took away the script from his face. His gaze met Li Nan’s burning eyes and he was so frightened that his whole body trembled. “Director Li, don’t look at me like that. It’s awfully scary.”

“Do you remember what you said just now?” Li Nan’s face turned red from being angered by Wei Ming. He looked at Shan Yatong with a complicated expression.

The young man in front of him seemed to be thinking carefully about what he had just said. Then, he looked at him apologetically and said, “Um, Director Li, I didn’t sleep well last night. I thought you were a friend of mine in the orphanage. Don’t be angry. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

The young man’s expression was a little uneasy. He didn’t have the energy to yell at him earlier. Li Nan’s heart was a little strange. What was he thinking? That guy was already dead. How could that be? He bent down to pick up the script on the ground and knocked the young man’s head. “Don’t waste time talking nonsense. I’ll shoot your and Xiao Qishen’s fight scene later. Prepare well.”

“Yes,” Shan Yatong said with a big smile, “Director Li is really generous.”

“Go, kid. Don’t join in the fun here. If you don’t perform well later, you won’t be able to have lunch today.” Li Nan turned to Wei Ming and Xiao Qishen and said, “What are you two standing there for? Get ready and start filming immediately.”

Liao Ran, who had been silent the entire time, reached out with a smile and patted Shan Yatong’s shoulder. “Yatong, let’s go. Let’s talk over there.”

Shan Yatong looked terrified. “Sister Liao, I’m not selling my body.”

Liao Ran sized him up from head to toe. “Queen, please don’t take away our jobsDon’t make things hard for us. Come with me.”

Shan Yatong smiled and gestured, “Please go ahead.”

The two of them walked to the makeshift corridor. The rockery with flowing water, and Shan Yatong dressed in red clothes, caused this picture to have an extraordinary charm. Liao Ran and he sat in the corridor, looking at the view of the garden. “Yatong, do you know what novels are popular now?”

Shan Yatong didn’t know what was Liao Ran’s intention. But she absolutely didn’t ask him to come here for work. He quietly looked at Liao Ran, “Sister Liao, we are so busy with filming. How can I have the time to read novels?”

“You don’t know?” The smile on Liao Ran’s face remained the same. “Currently, the most popular novel is about rebirth. For example, when a person dies, he will be reborn from a corpse.” Liao Ran carefully observed the other’s expression. It was very calm as if the topic didn’t attract his interest.

“Sister Liao, are you talking about the story of Liaozhai?” Shan Yatong’s lack of interest but didn’t want to interrupt Liao Ran’s chatty mood made Liao Ran somewhat frustrated. It seemed that she guessed wrong.

After Shan Yatong left, Liao Ran looked at the artificial peach trees in the courtyard with some regret and sighed. “I really hope there will be a real case of rebirth.”
