“Let go! Help! It's a ghost…”
Lu Jingtian panically raised her hand and slapped Yun Na's face to pry herself loose . As she frantically limped and pulled herself toward the exit, she bumped head-on into Jin Yu, who had returned after calling for an ambulance .
The latter saw her frightened look and asked in bewilderment, “What happened?”
“Quickly send me to the hospital; hurry!”
Jin Yu found her behavior strange but did not probe further .
Some things were better left unknown .
The castle-like retro dining hall, with its exquisite frescoes and hollow dome between carved beams, gave one the illusion of being in a lavish palace .
Once the guests of honor finished giving their opening speeches, it was time for the dance .
The soothing classical music pervaded the air of the spacious hall .
After an eventful start, Han Yuyan and Yang Mi learned to behave themselves .
They were experienced actresses and knew the importance of doing the right thing at the right time, so they did not try to find faults with Yun Shishi again .
Lin Fengtian was late, though once he arrived, he was quickly surrounded by actresses with their curtsies and wine, hoping to get him to notice them .
He had to expend much effort into returning their favor, which ended up spoiling his good mood .
However, when he saw Gu Xingze gracefully approaching him with Yun Shishi, he was elated and could not stop praising, “Shishi, oh, god . You look stunning tonight!”
The two producers and assistant director that were standing behind him also lavished her with praises .
“Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Director Lin! Producer Li, Director Meng, how are you?” she reciprocated with a smile and calmly asked .
“Miss Yun, you still remember our names!” Producer Li was evidently surprised and pleased .
“You were present with Director Meng during the audition, and it is common courtesy to remember the name of the judges . ”
Director Meng smilingly said, “Director Lin, you have good taste! This newcomer is humble and polite . With her beauty and talents, she'll have a bright future ahead of her!”
“Of course; when have I ever disappointed you with my choices?” he asked back, looking smug .
Gu Xingze was smiling, too . “Shishi is a polite girl . This is what I like about her as well . ”
This is what I like about her, too .
Her cheeks flushed red upon hearing that for no apparent reason .
“That's right! This is praiseworthy, indeed . There are some newcomers who are proud and rude just because they have a good background . ” Director Meng changed the subject suddenly . “I have to warn you, Miss Yun, though; you must be mentally prepared for Director Lin . He can be very critical and demanding at times . Before Han Yuyan gained fame, when she debuted in his first film, he made her cry with his scolding . He is known as the Demon Director in this industry, and many starlets have been badly criticized by him in the past . ”
Gu Xingze also shook his head, admitting ruefully, “Yes, I've been scolded by him before, too . ”
“Oh?” She was really surprised to hear that . “Xingze, your acting is consistently good . ”
He could only smile wryly at that .
Director Meng interjected with a chuckle . “That was when Xingze was still relatively new in the show business . He missed a cue during filming, and he got it from Director Lin after that . ”
Lin Fengtian snorted . “He should be thankful that he met me; that's why he is so popular now . ”
“Director Lin is demanding because he respects his career . It is necessary to be demanding to your actors in order to produce a good movie,” she commented .
