After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 301 - 295: Late-Night Snack from Pei Yan

"Qiong Hai! What are you doing? Watching a show?" Director Chen yelled out directly.

"Sorry, Director, maybe I hit too hard." Qin Yun said apologetically.

Upon hearing this, Director Chen immediately glanced at Qiong Hai’s face. There were no marks visible on his face, not as bad as the slap from earlier, but his state was visibly worse!

After taking a look, Director Chen became even more dissatisfied with Qiong Hai. The task for tonight was already heavy, and prolonging the schedule meant renting the location for another day, which would cost a substantial amount of money.

This would make the already tight budget of the production team even more strained.

There was no choice as Director Chen disliked bringing in investors’ people, so everyone had to be selected themselves, resulting in quite a few artists with backing failing to join, and therefore the budget was less flexible than other crews.

Everything was done as economically as possible.

"Let’s do it again! Qiong Hai, can you act or not? If you mess up again, get out of the crew!" Director Chen said with a sullen face, not in a good mood.

Qiong Hai just raised his hand to touch his stinging cheek and hadn’t even had the chance to check if his face was disfigured before hearing the director say if he couldn’t catch the scene, he should roll out. Instantly, he was devoid of any thoughts.

All he knew was that at this moment, even with his swollen face, he had to brace himself and continue!

In Director Chen Lan’s crew, there were only two types: those who could be used and those who couldn’t be used.

"Director, I definitely won’t mess up this time!" Qiong Hai promised.

Director Chen looked at him with displeasure, "It better be like that."

Then he glanced at his face, didn’t see any marks through the lens, and then looked at the states of both Qiong Hai and Qin Yun, waving his hand, "You two, adjust your emotions first."

Qiong Hai walked over to his assistant for a mirror. There were no marks visible on his face in the mirror, but there was still pain, making him uncertain whether it was a problem with the mirror or his own senses.

He reached out to touch his face.

"Hiss—"

The clear pain made him realize it wasn’t an illusion!!

He didn’t know what method that woman used, but his face was very painful but didn’t show.

No wonder the director’s expression was so ugly just now; he obviously thought he was faking it!!

Qiong Hai’s expression turned extremely ugly, his gaze settling on Qin Yun, who was talking to her assistant with a script in hand, his eyes dark and gloomy.

The assistant saw Qiong Hai’s expression and was scared to speak.

Qiong Hai directly tossed the mirror back into the assistant’s arms, who fumbled to catch it.

"Sister Yun! Did he just touch your waist?" Yuanyuan, having seen the scene from her position, vaguely noticed the male actor’s hand moving on Qin Yun’s waist during the shoot. Unable to do anything during the take, she angrily asked as soon as the scene wrapped.

"I hit him back, two slaps even." Qin Yun raised her exquisite chin, sneering, and thinking he deserved it.

Yuanyuan thought: Just a few slaps, he got off lightly!!

Not long after, Qiong Hai regained his composure and returned to the camera.

During the break, Director Chen and the assistant director rewatched the playback. After deliberation, they frowned and said to the two, "Qin Yun, in a moment, you can express your emotions a bit more outwardly since the thief just bumped into you, putting your body in high tension. At this moment, Qiong Hai’s actions trigger your muscle response. You both are pretending; he’s restraining because of your identity, and you’re disguising after a reflex to cover up your unusual moves."

Qin Yun thought for a bit, nodding, "Okay."

The director sat back in his chair, shouting again, "Let’s start, ’Mystery Shadow’ Scene 23, Take 3, action."

Li Beauty got knocked down, and Gu Changjun grabbed her waist, spinning to avoid the side, pulling their distance very close.

However, this time, he didn’t make any further moves.

Qin Yun was stunned for two seconds, not expecting him to change the movement suddenly; just as she was about to act, Gu Changjun already held her wrist, "Ma’am, repaying kindness with enmity isn’t appropriate."

Then he released her, looking extremely gentlemanly.

"Sorry, sir, I was just frightened, thank you for saving me." Li Beauty lowered her eyes with a hint of apology, looking at him.

Gu Changjun smiled, "Understandable, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, thanks to you, I was spared trouble." Li Beauty said with a smile.

"It’s my honor to help Li Beauty." Gu Changjun courteously picked up her gloved hand, kissed the back of it, his eyes not forgetting to watch her.

Qin Yun only felt goosebumps all over, asking in a moment of surprise, "You, do you know me?"

"Fortunate to have seen you dance once at Xiangsi Garden, very beautiful, very captivating." Gu Changjun straightened up.

"Next time you come, let me know, and I’ll dance especially for you." Li Beauty smiled gracefully.

"It’s a deal then."

"Cut."

After this take, Director’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a bit, "Shoot a close-up, and this scene will be done." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After reshooting a close-up shot, Qin Yun immediately went to change an outfit and makeover, preparing for the next scene.

This time, after Li Beauty and Gu Changjun are familiar, Li Beauty’s favorite painter is holding an exhibition, but the tickets are hard to acquire, Gu Changjun manages to get tickets for the exhibition for her, and they plan to view the art together.

Perhaps it was because of the previous slaps from Qin Yun, his left cheek still aching, that he didn’t act up, and the shoot went quickly.

It wasn’t until almost midnight that filming wrapped up.

Qin Yun, having worn a short-sleeved, leg-baring cheongsam all evening, with the nighttime temperature only around ten degrees, immediately went to change clothes after filming ended.

Suddenly she understood why Pei Yan brought her a light down jacket and a blanket; sitting around waiting for scenes in such weather would be tough.

Thinking of this, Qin Yun suddenly missed Pei Yan a little.

After changing her clothes, Qin Yun came out and suddenly noticed that the crew had a lot more food.

"Qin Yun, come over and have some food, courtesy of you. Mr. Pei had snacks sent over for the whole crew." The assistant director was the first to notice Qin Yun and immediately called her over.

Other people, seeing Qin Yun, also showed friendly smiles. Compared to when she first came, they were much friendlier, all shouting, "Teacher Qin, come have some supper."

Qin Yun instinctively glanced at the phone in Yuanyuan’s hand. She hadn’t messaged Pei Yan, so how did he know she finished filming and even had so much food sent over?

"Thank you all for working hard and staying with us so late into the night." She said with a smile, walking over, and Yuanyuan handed the phone to Qin Yun.

"We’re used to it, this was actually an early wrap-up." A nearby crew member said with a smile.
