Chapter 159: Chapter 146: Notification_3

Principal Wu’s face also suddenly darkened, "Director Ding, what is going on here?"

"Didn’t we agree that we could review the content of the shooting? How did you get our original students involved?" Another male teacher was also anxious.

"And you, you’re here too! You all... Have you really lost all shame for money? Weren’t you paid initially? Isn’t what you asked for enough?" The first female teacher covered her chest, obviously furious.

Nie Hexiang hid in the back of the crowd, not daring to utter a word, but Xia Xiuyan, seeing that she was recognized, stopped pretending and walked out with a swagger, "Less of your cold remarks, if it weren’t for your cover-up back then, would things have turned out this ugly?"

"Huh, back when Ms. Shengnan was here, you didn’t even dare to fart, and now you just throw your weight around us two."

"You... You have no shame!" The female teacher’s eyes reddened, and she was about to throw the book in her hand, but was stopped at the last moment.

"That’s still better than you spending your whole life in the countryside, dying poor and hungry!"

Seeing that the situation was about to spiral out of control, Director Ding took Principal Wu and the others outside, seemingly intending to have a proper talk; the entire film crew followed, including Nie Hexiang and Xia Xiuyan.

"You stay behind," perhaps not wanting Yang Xiao and the others to know too much, Director Ding left the remaining six actors in the classroom.

Director Ding and his entourage went downstairs, and soon arguing could be heard from below.

Before long, a man dressed in the crew’s standard vest sneaked upstairs. Yang Xiao recognized him; he was called Jian, often following Director Ding.

"Quick, Director Ding told me to tell you to shoot quickly. He’s delaying downstairs. The negotiation isn’t going well, and this might be our last chance to shoot in this building," Jian closed the door behind him, urging in a hurry.

Perhaps due to the tension, the shooting didn’t go smoothly. Yu Mi struggled with her scenes with Yang Xiao, throwing everyone into a state of emergency.

"I can’t do this, I really can’t act anymore!" Yu Mi broke down, crouching on the floor, "This is all fake, all fake! The male teacher was framed!"

Yang Xiao, who was in the middle of the scene with her, grabbed her clothes and pulled her over. It looked as though he was reciting lines, but he was actually whispering a warning in a lowered voice, "Don’t talk nonsense, do you want to die?"

"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for?" Tang Cui was extremely anxious, "What does it matter to you if he was framed or not? It’s easy to know people’s faces but not their hearts. For all we know, that male teacher could be a pervert in secret!"

"Can you act or not? If not, we’ll replace you!" Jian, sent back by Director Ding, also grew impatient, pointing at Tang Cui, "You, you there, you take over. This role is yours now!"

But after several attempts, Jian was quite disappointed with Tang Cui’s acting and had harsh words for her. However, in Yang Xiao’s eyes, Tang Cui’s acting was much better than Yu Mi’s.

"Are you professional actors or what? Is this the best you can do?" Jian was irritable.

After being criticized repeatedly, Tang Cui also lost her temper. Her nerves had been on edge, "What exactly do you want from me? This won’t do, that won’t do. You tell me to imagine a narrow and dark environment, sorry, I can’t imagine it!"

"Come on, you and you, come with me to the bathroom! Get a feel for the environment!" Jian snapped, snatching a prop belt from Yang Xiao’s hand and instructing, "The rest of you stay here and shoot the following scenes."

Jian took Tang Cui and the unintentionally involved Pei Qiuyu with him, heading for the restroom not far next door.

Yu Mi was let go because of her poor acting. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

But after waiting a while, they did not return. Yang Xiao on the podium put down his book and looked towards the door, "Why haven’t Jian and the others come back?"

Lu Ji, who was holding the camera for Yang Xiao’s close-up shot, was startled, "Who did you say? Who is Jian?"

Yang Xiao’s heart trembled, "Jian, the one who just took Tang Cui and the others away."

"Isn’t he Feng from the props group?" Lu Ji was dumbfounded.

After speaking, both of them turned to look at Song Yan, who now also had a troubled look, "I... I remember he’s Old Wu in charge of logistics."

"What... What are you all talking about?" The only remaining female actor, Yu Mi, was terrified to the point of almost crying.

"Don’t scare me, but I remember he’s Director Ding’s assistant, everyone calls him... Assistant Qian?"
