Chu Luo reacted quickly. Before his hand reached the strap, she pressed it down and glared at him. “What are you doing?”
“Helping you undo your cloak.”
“I’m not being filmed. Why must I undo it?”
“If you want to be filmed… Sure, I’ll do it.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he actually walked up to the camera. He looked at the adjusted camera and asked Chu Luo with a cold expression, “Which scene did the director ask you to audition with?”
Chu Luo looked at him strangely.
Li Yan looked into the camera and said, “If you want to stay here for the entire day, we can take our time.”
Chu Luo glanced at him and asked, “Do you know how to shoot?”
“You’ll know when the shoot is over.”
“But…”
She had a nagging feeling that this person was acting strangely today. She thought for a while and said, “If you’re not free, we can skip the shoot.”
In any case, she only felt that it was fun and wanted to try out what filming was like.
Li Yan didn’t even look up. He quickly pressed on the camera and said, “I’m free.”
“…”
Chu Luo was silent for a few seconds. Seeing that he had made up his mind to shoot for her, she told him about the scene that the director had mentioned earlier.
After Li Yan heard this, he turned to the side and saw a prop sword still there. He walked over to pick it up and walked towards Chu Luo.
As she faced the man walking towards her, Chu Luo’s heart suddenly started beating faster. She pursed her lips and looked at him.
Li Yan walked up to her and handed her the sword in his hand.
Chu Luo took the sword. Seeing that he was standing at the side and not returning, she shot him a questioning look.
Li Yan’s expression was cold and serious. “I’ve already pressed the automatic filming button on the camera. I’m now equivalent to your director. As a director, I have to guide and correct the actors’ mistakes. You can think about the plot and filming can start anytime.
“There will be professionals who will edit off the excess.”
Chu Luo felt that he had a point. She took the longsword and walked towards the middle.
“Wait.” Li Yan stopped her.
“What?”
“Take off your cloak.”
Chu Luo thought for a moment before untying the belt of her cloak.
The moment she took off her cloak, she actually shielded herself with her sword uncomfortably under Li Yan’s scrutiny.
“You… where are you looking?”
Li Yan’s voice was slightly low. “All the women’s clothes in ‘Battle of Lightyears’ are like this. The Goddess of War’s clothes are the most conservative. Since you want to act, you have to accept everyone’s gazes.”
After saying that, his gaze deliberately stopped somewhere for a few seconds.
Chu Luo instantly blushed. She suddenly had the urge to stop filming.
At this moment, Li Yan became a real director with a stern expression.
“I told you before that you’re not suited to acting. Since you don’t want to admit it, then do your best today.
“You have martial arts skills. You can do a few imposing martial arts moves later.
“Now, let’s do an assassination move.”
With the long sword in hand, Chu Luo executed an assassination move perfectly.
“Don’t move. Your actions aren’t beautiful enough. Not only must you make a movie that makes people’s blood boil, but you also have to pay attention to the aesthetics.”
As Li Yan spoke, he walked up behind Chu Luo. One of his hands was wrapped around her slender waist and the other was helping her correct the angle at which she should strike with the sword.
Chu Luo felt the temperature behind her and tilted her head with a frown. “Is the director supposed to guide the actors step by step?”
If that was the case, she definitely wouldn’t want to go and film.
Li Yan nodded seriously.
Then, he deliberately asked in her ear, “This is just normal contact, yet you already can’t accept it?”
The hot air entered her ear. Chu Luo felt strange and subconsciously moved her head away.
“Don’t come so close to me.”
After saying that, she pushed him away from her.
However, Li Yan wrapped his arm around her waist and continued to whisper in her ear, “Other than that, you’ll also have to accept kissing scenes with different male actors.”
“Uh…”
Chu Luo really hadn’t known about this.
When Li Yan saw that the little thing was frightened, a dark glint flashed across his eyes.
But he couldn’t take his eyes off of her petite lips.
“Why don’t I help you get used to the feeling of shooting a kissing scene with someone?”
After saying that, Li Yan grabbed her chin and turned to press his lips upon it.
Chu Luo suddenly snapped out of her trance and quickly put a hand between their lips. A trace of helplessness appeared in her eyes.
Li Yan stopped and let go of her.
The moment Chu Luo was released, she quickly took two steps back.
Li Yan looked at her with those dark eyes and deliberately asked, “Why? You’re scared now?”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. She thought to herself that she would never act again.
As the most respected High Priestess in the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies, how could she kiss a man casually?
When he saw that his goal had been achieved, Li Yan’s mood instantly brightened. He unbuttoned his suit jacket and walked over to put it on her, saying, “If you don’t want to continue filming, go change your clothes.”
Chu Luo grabbed his coat and ran towards the changing room.
Li Yan watched the little thing run faster than a rabbit and his lips finally curled up.
This was the first time Chu Luo had encountered something that she didn’t want to learn at all. Even after she arrived at Li Yan’s office, she leaned against the sofa with her chin propped up and was still thinking about this.
Li Yan didn’t interrupt her and walked straight to his office desk.
The secretary knocked on the door and came in, holding a tray with juice and snacks. It was obviously for Chu Luo.
When he placed the things on the coffee table in front of Chu Luo, he realized that Chu Luo didn’t react.
He quietly sized her up and quickly retracted his gaze, trying to guess what Master had done to Miss Chu in that room.
At this moment, Chu Luo thought it through.
Actually, it was good not to be an actress. She had so much to learn. Once she joined a production team, she would have to spend a few months at a time filming. She might as well use that time to do more meaningful things.
For example, she could be the screenwriter, the manager, or…
The more Chu Luo thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible. She decided to sit in on a filming class.
After thinking about this, Chu Luo remembered her purpose in coming here. She turned around and asked Li Yan, “How do you want me to cooperate with you to put on a show?”
Li Yan looked up from the document and gazed at her in satisfaction, seeing that she was no longer conflicted about acting. He said, “The amount of money on your bet has reached a level that many people are envious of.
“Not only are those people envious, but there are also people higher up who want to take the money for themselves. So before the competition ends, we have to think of a way to stop those people from making a move.”
“How do we stop them?”
“I’ll deal with the people up there, but you have to cooperate with me and attend one or two banquets with me.”
“Mm… what about me?”
“You just need to make ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ win.”
Chu Luo lifted her chin and curled her lips. “‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ will definitely win.”
Li Yan looked at her confident manner and his eyes flickered. He said, “Coincidentally, there’s a banquet tonight that I need you to attend with me.”
Chu Luo: “…”
She suddenly had a feeling that he had planned this all along. What was going on?
“This banquet was organized by Earl Clay’s family. His son is Prince Arlan.”
“The Earl’s son is a prince?” That sounded strange.
“Arlan is liked by the Queen. The Queen has long since acknowledged Arlan as her godson.”
Chu Luo nodded and understood.
However…
“Are they holding a banquet tonight to deal with you…? You know it is a trap, yet you are still going?”
“I have plans,” Li Yan said. “The Clay family has something I want… We can also cause them trouble tonight so that they won’t have time to care about anything else for the time being.”
Chu Luo frowned.
Li Yan added, “Earl Clay was the one who suggested we confiscate your bet.”
Chu Luo’s face darkened.
“Okay, I’ll go with you tonight.”
She wanted to see how thick-skinned this earl was to keep staring at her wager.
After the two of them finished speaking, Li Yan continued to work.
The secretary sent Chu Luo a laptop.
After the secretary left, Li Yan suddenly said, “No one will enter my office. You don’t have to restrain yourself.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she deliberately glanced at him.
At first, she sat down and read the information that Tang Zhiyun and the others had sent her. As she read, her back leaned against the sofa. Later, she simply leaned against the sofa and started to read the information.
Li Yan would look at her every once in a while. When he saw her lazily leaning on the sofa, his cold and hard face subconsciously softened.
He had already confirmed his feelings for her, but he wasn’t in a hurry. As long as she didn’t have any contact with other men who had feelings for her, he could wait for her to grow up.
Suddenly, he thought of Chu Luo’s birthday.
According to the household registry, her birthday was tomorrow.
“What do you want?”
Chu Luo was seriously looking at her laptop when she suddenly heard this. She looked up at Li Yan, who was sitting behind his desk.
Li Yan asked again, “What do you want?”
Chu Luo tilted her head and thought for a while. She wanted to learn a lot of interesting knowledge in this world, so she said, “I will get everything I want.”
When Li Yan heard this answer, he pursed his lips and frowned.
Despite seeing that he was very dissatisfied with her answer, Chu Luo didn’t mind and continued to look at the information.
At this moment, Li Yan sent a message to his secretary via the intranet.
How to celebrate someone’s birthday.
As for Secretary Tan’s shocked reaction after he sent the message, it wasn’t his concern.
