Chapter 396: The Start of Filming
The female lead played by Mo Rao and the male lead played by Xiao Yan were childhood sweethearts. However, the two of them separated in middle school and only returned to their hometown after university.
When they met again, their eyes were filled with mixed emotions, and the romantic plot began.
As soon as the camera was turned on, Mo Rao quickly got into character.
Xiao Yan’s eyes were filled with complex emotions as well.
The two of them were shocked at first, then nostalgic, and finally happy. Their gazes and body language expressed everything perfectly.
As Jia Li watched the scene in the frame, he kept nodding in satisfaction.
This scene passed in one round. After the filming stopped, Mo Rao returned to normal.
“Sister Mo Rao, your acting was amazing!” Tong Yue was Mo Rao’s fan and she quickly rushed forward to praise her.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice sounded.
“Amazing? I think it was so-so.” When Chen Xiang came out after putting on makeup, she saw Mo Rao and Xiao Yan acting out the first scene. Faced with Tong Yue’s praise for Mo Rao, Chen Xiang chuckled with disdain.
Chen Xiang’s words made everyone fall silent.
“Chen Xiang, Mo Rao’s acting skills are not bad. Be truthful.” Jia Li tried to smooth things over. “Stop talking nonsense. It’s your turn soon. Hurry up.”
Chen Xiang muttered unhappily, “I just finished my makeup, but I’m going to start filming already? How exhausting.”
However, no one indulged her. Chen Xiang could only take a sip of water and stand in front of the camera.
Mo Rao wasn’t in this scene, but she stood at the side to see how good Chen Xiang’s acting was.
“Cut—”
A minute after filming started, Jia Li interrupted Chen Xiang. “Do you not remember your lines? Why are you standing there like a block of wood?!”
Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed to be scolded the moment she started. She quickly said coquettishly, “Director, I haven’t gotten into character yet!”
“Mo Rao got into character in a second! Hurry up and get ready. New take!” Jia Li couldn’t help but compare Chen Xiang to Mo Rao. As expected, Chen Xiang’s expression turned ugly.
Without comparison, there was no motivation. When filming started again, Chen Xiang was in a much better state.
As Mo Rao watched Chen Xiang’s acting, she had to admit that she was indeed good at acting.
Moreover, her professionalism was better than that of the female celebrities who had gone against her previously.
However, Chen Xiang’s personality was really a little annoying.
“Is Mo Rao here?” As Mo Rao was watching Chen Xiang act, a staff member walked over with a large bouquet of roses.
Mo Rao looked at the staff member in confusion and asked, “Is this bouquet for me?”
The staff nodded and stuffed the flowers into Mo Rao’s hand. “That’s right. A man in a suit sent them in a Lincoln. He even asked me to send a message saying that he wished you luck in your filming.”
As Mo Rao hugged this bouquet of roses that was almost bigger than her, the first person she thought of was Fu Ying.
Other than Fu Ying, no one else would be so generous and send the flowers to the production team in such a high-profile manner.
However, when she thought of how Fu Ying had given her the flowers, Mo Rao didn’t want to accept them.
Coincidentally, Chen Xiang had also finished filming. When Jia Li saw that Mo Rao had received the roses, he teased, “Which suitor sent this?”
Mo Rao shook her head. “I don’t know who sent it.”
Chen Xiang watched with jealousy as Mo Rao received the flowers.
She clearly had the most fans, but none of the fans who visited her outside thought of sending her flowers.
“Is this bouquet from President Fu or Mr. K? Or does Mo Rao have another man?” Chen Xiang teased.
Hearing Chen Xiang’s words, Mo Rao remembered Gu Ci.
However, Gu Ci probably wouldn’t do such a high-profile thing, although he had given her expensive jewelry in front of everyone the day before.
“It might be a fan. On the other hand, you have so many fans, so why don’t I see anyone sending you flowers?” Mo Rao had already figured out Chen Xiang’s sore spot, so she asked.
As expected, when she heard Mo Rao’s question, Chen Xiang’s face instantly fell.
