By around 10:30 am, Mu Sheng finally came out with some light makeup. The director nodded his head happily. “Good. Let’s start filming.”
There was only one complete scene between Ruan Yingying and Mu Sheng in the entire drama, so Ruan Yingying thought it would be easy to get it right.
However, Ruan Yingying had underestimated Mu Sheng’s aura.
Ruan Yingying kept getting scolded by the director for her acting recently. She had also heard about Mu Sheng’s brilliant acting. She had to admit that she felt deeply pressured by Mu Sheng’s talent when she finally acted with Mu Sheng.
“Ruan Yingying, something is wrong with the expression in your eyes!”
“Ruan Yingying, what are you doing?”
“Your motions are stiff. Do it again!” The director kept calling cut.
The more Ruan Yingying acted, the more she lost confidence.
Mu Sheng was acting as Gu Li. She was dressed in school uniform with the jacket draped over her shoulder as she leaned against the motorcycle and looked at Ruan Yingying coolly. “Are you his girlfriend?”
Gu Li’s eyes looked cool, proud, and unrestrained. There was even a hint of sadness concealed behind them.
The moment Mu Sheng looked at her this way, Ruan Yingying could not help avoiding eye contact even though her character should have acted confidently.
The director could no longer stand it. “Cut! You didn’t get it right after dozens of takes! What’s going on? One more time!”
“Okay. I’m so sorry.” Ruan Yingying forced a smile as she apologized to the director and turned around.
She gritted her teeth when she saw how relaxed Mu Sheng was. Mu Sheng effortlessly won praise from the director. However, she kept getting reprimanded by the director, which made her look bad in comparison to Mu Sheng.
“Sheng, let’s do it again.” Ruan Yingying quickly adjusted herself and prepared to retake the scene. She could not let Mu Sheng witness her getting embarrassed anymore.
She focused and surprisingly got the scene done.
After the director shouted cut, Mu Sheng put on her coat and left. Ruan Yingying wanted to speak to her, but she did not get to her in time.
Ruan Yingying watched from behind as Mu Sheng left before she waved her assistant over. “Liu Hui, is it done?”
“Don’t worry. Everything is ready.” Liu Hui looked at Ruan Yingying furtively.
Ruan Yingying had caused a delay in the schedule, so Mu Sheng had to remain on-set in the afternoon and continue filming. At lunch, Auntie Lin came over with a few lunchboxes and waited at the entrance.
Although Mu Sheng’s part was minor, she was the only supporting role who had parts with Qiao Siyu, so everyone was deeply envious of her.
Everyone watched as Mu Sheng went to the entrance and spoke to a middle-aged lady before taking a lunchbox from her and coming back to the dining area.
Tang Tiantian had already bought lunch and had placed it on the table. The moment Tang Tiantian opened Mu Sheng’s lunch box, she swallowed her saliva. This food smelled absolutely delicious!
She quickly give Mu Sheng a pair of chopsticks before the two of them started to eat.
“Why do I find the lady so familiar? She kind of reminds me of a maid I know. Sheng, does your mother work as a maid? Did she come by to bring you food during her lunch break?” One of the actresses knew that Mu Sheng did not come from a rich family, so she assumed Auntie Lin was Mu Sheng’s mother and spoke provocatively.
“Huh? Doesn’t that mean she secretly took food from her employer for you?” Another actress looked at Mu Sheng’s flawless profile enviously before she spoke tartly.
“What do you mean secretly take? It was clearly theft. It certainly is convenient to be a maid. She can even steal food from her employer for her daughter. Perhaps she even stole clothing and jewelry for her before as well. Sigh. No wonder Mu Sheng’s jewelry looks like the real stuff. Maybe…”
“Hey! Watch what you’re saying!” Tang Tiantian couldn’t bear listening and stood up angrily.
Who on earth were these people? Even though they looked pretty decent, they were simply harsh with their words!
Even if Mu Sheng’s mother was genuinely working as a maid, did it matter? Did they have to make maids sound like thieves?
“Sigh. Since your artist has not said a word, why should you get anxious?” There were a lot of people eating together, so the actresses kept bullying Mu Sheng out of jealousy with utter disregard for their image.
“You!” Tang Tiantian was so mad that her eyes were a little red.
Mu Sheng patted Tang Tiantian on the shoulder. Tang Tiantian moved forward as she said, “Sheng, don’t stop me. I have to teach them a lesson. How dare they speak so disrespectfully!”
“I am not trying to stop you. I was just asking for you to give way.” Mu Sheng’s voice reverberated in the air from behind.
“Huh? Okay!” Tang Tiantian hurriedly gave way.
Mu Sheng stepped forward. Everyone watched in shock as she kicked their table and all the food on the table got spilled onto the ground and on their well-made clothing. Everyone went into a furor.
“Mu Sheng, what are you doing? Are you crazy?”
Mu Sheng glanced at them coldly. “Shout whatever you want. I have recorded your conversation. Do you want the entire film crew to hear it?”
“You!” Everyone looked at each other. They felt resentful as they looked at the remnants of their meals scattered on them, making them smell just like food.
Just as they were about to speak, they heard the sound of a snap.
Mu Sheng stepped on the stainless steel table leg and broke it in half. Just as everyone wanted to speak, they swallowed their words, sucked it up, and left the dining area with their tails between their legs.
Tang Tiantian glanced at Mu Sheng before she looked at the other actresses running off. A look of admiration appeared on her face. Mu Sheng was so cool back there.
After this little incident, the food had already turned cold. Mu Sheng decided to stop eating and headed back to the changing room to rest.
In a short span of time, the fans of the novel, “Song of Youth”, kept cursing Mu Sheng online so badly that she started to trend. This topic was about to become the hottest topic on social media.
