Jiang se had already made up her mind. However, she was waiting for Huo Zhiming to speak. She did not want this stubborn old man to get used to doing whatever he wanted on set, even if it was for the movie and the plot. However, due to his conversation with Tao cen, he had asked her to cut her hair without even discussing it with her.
“I think it’s necessary.” Huo Zhiming nodded his head heavily. such an action can ‘revive’ Su Yi’s character. It will bring a greater shock to the audience when it’s released. It’s better than a thousand words to build up this character.
Huo Zhiming seemed to be more excited when they talked about the plot. He made a scissors gesture with one hand and a hair-cutting gesture with the other.
with this cut and the hair falling down, the ‘ruthlessness’ in this character’s character will stand up. That kind of ruthlessness was even better than killing people. In the plot, Huo Zhiming designed ‘Su Yi’s’ shaving action ‘to highlight the character’s character.
Jiang se, sob, sob. someone in the distance was calling Jiang SE’s name with all her might. She turned to look in the direction of the voice. After the fan who had called her successfully won her attention, she shrieked in excitement and covered her face with her hands.
this request has nothing to do with what anyone says. It’s purely for the sake of the movie plot. Huo Zhiming wasn’t a fool. He was just used to lowering his head and doing his own thing.
Even if he did not deliberately look into the news of Jiang se and Tao cen’s ‘falling out’, many people would tell him about it.
He had said all this to express to Jiang se that he was not making things difficult for her because of Tao cen’s words. He had said all this purely because Tao cen’s suggestion had struck a chord in his heart and captured his weakness.
“If you’re not willing, I can understand.” He let out a long sigh. His two assistants wanted to say something but stopped. Huo Zhiming understood the Assistant Director’s ugly expression. He also knew how much courage it took for a girl to shave her head. but there are some flaws. It’s fine if you don’t find them, but once you see them, you can’t bear it anymore.
Jiang se understood what he meant. If Jiang se insisted on not cutting her hair, and Huo Zhiming refused to give up on his point of view, this matter would end up in a stalemate.
At this point, the filming was about to end. They had invested so much in the early stages and prepared so much. Once the filming stopped, it might be indefinite.
At that time, Huo Zhiming might have to bear the blame and anger of the investors. He knew the consequences, but he still insisted on his original decision.
Jiang se turned to look at him. The old man’s white hair was combed back, revealing a well-defined face. When he spoke, his eyebrows were raised, causing his forehead to be covered in wrinkles.
“If I don’t want to, what will you do?”
She was asking about what Huo Zhiming would do if he refused to film the next part of the movie because of her.
With his bad temper, he would not compromise with the rules of this world at all. When the time came, the questioning of the investors and the ridicule of the market would turn into heavy pressure that would press down on this stubborn old man.
Changing the script at the last minute might bring him serious breach of contract problems, and he might face some subsequent compensation and damage to his reputation.
He didn’t want to take the easier path, but chose the more rugged and difficult one.
I have a siheyuan in the capital that has been passed down from my ancestors. Someone has wanted to buy it for a long time. If it doesn’t work, I’ll hang it up and sell it! I’ll rent a house for my entire family. I don’t believe that I can’t think of a solution while I’m alive! he said.
On set, Tao cen was reading the script. She had said what she needed to say and done what she needed to do. She was no longer as worried as Song Yi and wanted to wait for the ending.
Mo Anqi and the others ‘furious gazes did not affect her. The strange looks from the staff around her did not make her frown either. Her calmness, however, disappeared the moment Jiang se and Huo Zhiming returned.
She raised her wrist to look at her watch. Huo Zhiming and Jiang se had only been out for about 15 minutes. Initially, she thought that Jiang se would have a strong reaction to Huo Zhiming’s request and that the two of them would not be able to come to an agreement for a while.
When Jiang se returned, her expression was calm. Huo Zhiming shouted for the prop master to prepare two sets of scissors and other tools.
Tao cen was in disbelief. She looked up at Jiang se, who happened to be looking in her direction. When she noticed Tao cen’s gaze, she did not avoid it. In fact, the corners of her lips curled up slowly as if she was provoking Tao cen.
Did she really agree to Huo Zhiming’s request? Such a thought flashed through Tao cen’s mind for a moment, but he quickly denied it. This was impossible!
She should have retorted as much as she could. She should have reprimanded Huo Zhiming for being delusional. She should have thought of an advertising endorsement that would bring her to the next level. She should have thought about how she would use her short hair to convince the world’s audience that she was the long-haired Lannie in ” the prisoner ” during the promotional period in a few months.
Tao cen did not believe that Jiang se would be so stupid to make such a decision!
If she was really so easily convinced by Huo Zhiming, did it mean that she was vulnerable after leaving Xia Chaoqun?
The atmosphere in the set was strange, but Huo Zhiming seemed to be very passionate. Jiang se took off her coat and revealed her nightgown. She grabbed her long hair and walked to the ‘bathroom’ that had been set up.
The prop master followed Huo Zhiming’s instructions and brought a razor, scissors, and other tools.
Mo Anqi’s face was filled with anxiety. From the commotion, even a fool could tell that Jiang se had agreed to Huo Zhiming’s ‘outrageous request’.
“Sese, do you want to give sister Xia a call first?”
Mo Anqi was in a hurry to stop him. She was worried that Huo Zhiming had interfered with Jiang SE’s decision.
She wanted to stall for time and wait for Xia Chaoqun to come and discuss this matter with the production team. With Xia Chaoqun taking the lead, there would definitely be a way to solve the problem without having to cut her hair.
“No need,” Jiang se shook her head. Tao cen’s expression was extremely serious. There was not a trace of a smile on her face. She crossed one arm over her chest and clenched the other into a fist. She gritted her teeth.
Mo Anqi was on the verge of tears as she watched the prop manager place the items into the ‘toilet’ drawer.
Everything was ready. On screen, Jiang se slowly pushed open the glass door to the bathroom. She came out in a bathrobe and stood beside the mirror. Just as the script had predicted, she shaved the hair on her legs with a serious expression.
She put down her tools and looked up at the mirror. The surface of the mirror was covered with a layer of mist. She reached out and slowly wiped it away.
After this scene was shot, Huo Zhiming was supposed to stop the filming. However, he stood behind the camera and didn’t say anything.
Jiang se reached out and grabbed a strand of her wet hair that was still dripping with water. Her expression was one of reluctance and adoration. She stroked it a few more times, vividly portraying the struggle she was experiencing.
Huo Zhiming didn’t call for a pause. Instead, he signaled one of the cameras to stop moving and the other camera to aim at the mirror.
This scene could only be shot once. Huo Zhiming believed that Jiang se would be able to pass it in one take.
The woman in the mirror lowered her eyes. The next moment, she seemed to have made up her mind. She opened the drawer and took out a pair of scissors. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her face. Her eyes were filled with determination. At this moment, Su Yi seemed to have gathered the courage to go against the world!
The moment Tao cen saw Jiang se make her move, he knew that his plan had failed.
Initially, she had wanted to use this incident to affect Jiang se and Huo Zhiming’s relationship. However, Jiang se was not affected by her. Instead, her determination to press forward had been triggered. This was even more in line with the character Su Yi in the movie.
On the other hand, she was flustered by Jiang SE’s actions. She could not even concentrate on the script in her hand.
In this ‘show’, she had already lost the competition between her and Jiang se. She had once again misjudged her opponent. She seemed to have lost to Jiang SE’s arrogance.
If the competition between her and Jiang se in the past was considered a small one, “suspect” would be the main stage for their first battle. It seemed like she was in the same situation as Shen xuanran in the series. They were both at a disadvantage. They were bound and suppressed. It was difficult for them to struggle out of it.
Based on Luo Yin’s attitude in the Galaxy of the century, many of the Chinese audience probably felt that Jiang se would replace her sooner or later.
No matter what other people thought, Tao cen had never thought this way. She had always been very confident in herself.
However, as Jiang se personally cut off her hair in front of the mirror, when her hair fell to the ground, she seemed to have seen the birth of an invincible opponent!
She wasn’t someone who would back down when something happened. In her life, she had been through countless situations, and she had pulled through all of them and faced them with determination.
However, for the first time in her life, she began to doubt whether she should take on “a suspect “. She had been demoted from the female lead to a supporting character. She had been demoted from a popular actress to a supporting character. She thought that she had reached Jiang SE’s bottom line, but she had forced out the ruthlessness in Jiang SE’s bones. She was not sure if it was because she acted too realistically or because she was too deeply immersed in the character, but when Tao cen looked at Jiang se in the mirror, she felt as if she was looking at the living Su Yi in” a suspect “.
After the scene was shot, the entire set was silent. Tao cen felt as if an invisible hand was tugging at her heart. She wanted to say something to break the strange silence, but when she opened her mouth, she felt that there was nothing to say.
The people around her looked at her with complicated expressions. This embarrassing feeling reminded Tao cen of many years ago, when she was still a newcomer. She was treated as an errand girl and was forced to change out of her costume. It was embarrassing.
“Give me the scissors!” The mood of the crew members was rather heavy. Huo Zhiming’s shout broke the silence. The script supervisor was not very clear, but he still followed his instructions and picked up the scissors Jiang se had used to cut her hair.
When he walked past Jiang se, he did not dare to look up at her face. He could only vaguely hear the sobs of her three assistants.
Tao cen watched as Huo Zhiming took the scissors from the staff. He didn’t even take a mirror and reached out to cut his hair.
teacher Huo! his assistant’s sudden exclamation attracted everyone’s attention. This particular old man had cut his neatly combed hair into a mess in just a few moments.
“Teacher Huo, Huahua.”
The people who saw this could not help but widen their eyes. Even Jiang se was stunned for a moment. She allowed mo Anqi to brush her hair away as she said, ” “You don’t have to do this.”
When Tao cen saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He could no longer pretend to be calm.
“Let’s go back to the hotel.”
She called out, but Song Yi was still in a daze. It wasn’t until Tao cen had already taken a few steps that he seemed to wake up from a dream and followed.
Tao cen’s plan to put on this show had failed, and he had been a villain in vain.
She wanted to destroy the relationship between Huo Zhiming and Jiang se, but in the end, Jiang se had gained Huo Zhiming’s full recognition. She did not manage to suppress Jiang se. Instead, in the next scene where the two of them only had to act together, she was completely suppressed by Jiang se. It was just like Shen xuanran in ” the suspect ” who was being played around with by the ‘suspect’. She knew who the’ suspect ‘was, but she could not get any evidence.
Tao cen could imagine how much of a sensation this movie would cause when it was aired. It would bring Jiang se a lot of good reputation.
Her final scene with Jiang se was set in a teahouse by the river in Linjiang City.
The two women, who had once been at loggerheads with each other, sat on the ground across the table. The water in the kettle on the table was boiling. The wind on the river surface blew in through the railing, messing up Tao cen’s hair and covering her eyes with a few strands.
Her eyes were a little red as she looked at the woman sitting opposite her. She seemed to be a little unwilling.
At that moment, Tao cen seemed to have forgotten about the cameras and staff around him. He had even forgotten that he and Jiang se were only filming a movie.
After a long time, she pursed her lips and ran her fingers through her hair. She couldn’t hold it in.
“Are you the one who wanted to kill Wu Chunhe?”
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her expression clearly showed the anger and helplessness in the depths of her heart. The veins on her neck were popping out, and her fist on the table was clenched tightly.
“Were you the one who killed someone in the hotel?”
With every question she asked, the blood vessels in her eyes grew deeper.
Tao cen put in a lot of effort in this scene, but it was mixed with the dejection of a loser.
That kind of dejection was not only due to Shen xuanran’s powerlessness when facing the criminal, but also Tao cen’s unwillingness to admit that she was at a disadvantage during the filming. She was smart enough to combine the two emotions into one. That was how the outstanding female police officer, Shen xuanran, came to be. She was within Huo Zhiming’s expectations.
Her voice went from thin to deep, and the camera captured her tense body. The woman opposite her slowly scooped some tea into the cup, as if she was not affected by her emotions at all. She was so calm that she didn’t seem like a woman.
“Where’s the evidence?”
She raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly, like a fox playing with its prey, cruel but charming.
“Officer Shen, you said that I killed someone. Where’s the evidence?”
She held the teacup and looked at it as if it was a rare treasure. Her movements were slow, but her gaze fell on Tao cen’s face.
This cunning woman was meticulous and had great anti-detection abilities. She was wearing a wig that Shen xuanran could see through at a glance and was arrogantly laughing at her incompetence.
That kind of gaze was very stimulating. The water in the kettle made a louder sound, and the boiling steam seemed to be about to push the lid off the teapot.
