Zhou Nan, who had been languid all afternoon, suddenly threw the prop phone he was holding onto the ground. He laughed softly at Jing Haohao and said, “If you don’t want to shoot this scene, then don’t snatch the script. If you take it, then you should dedicate yourself to the shoot. Do you think everyone has time to waste here with you?”
Then, Zhou Nan called over his assistant and told the director, “I’m tired today, I don’t want to shoot anymore. Let’s continue tomorrow.”
After saying this, Zhou Nan gave Jing Haohao a hard look, walked towards his car, sat in it with a cold demeanor, and completely ignored the director who had dropped the megaphone and was flattering him from behind. He just raised his hand and fiercely shut the car door.
Since the leading female role had left, Jing Haohao’s scene naturally couldn’t progress.
Everyone who had made it this far in the industry was no pushover. The director was secretly irritated, but thinking that Jing Haohao had been ordered from above to have more screen time, he could only sigh helplessly, wave his hand at Jing Haohao, and say, “Let’s call it a day, and we’ll continue tomorrow.”
After removing her makeup, Jing Haohao arrived back at the villa at eleven o’clock in the evening. She was utterly exhausted, quickly ate some food, and then immediately went to bed in her room.
In the following days, Zhou Nan continued to bully and give Jing Haohao a hard time without reason. This pushed the director into a bind where he couldn’t afford to offend either party, so he could only sigh helplessly. The entire crew was forced to film late into the night frequently.
Sometimes Liang Chen would come home late, other times early. Sometimes when he returned home, Jing Haohao was already asleep. He didn’t overthink it, assuming she was just tired from a long day of filming. Sometimes when Jing Haohao arrived late, he would assume the crew was busy shooting the film. However, as these instances increased, Liang Chen got somewhat annoyed. Coincidentally that day, the driver had been waiting to receive a call from Jing Haohao until eight o’clock in the evening. His wife, who was about to give birth, called him, saying she felt unwell. So, the driver had to call Liang Chen.
“Mr. Liang, I want to take a day off today. My wife is about to give birth, and she just called to tell me she’s feeling unwell. I want to go home to look after her, so I might not be able to pick up Miss Jing,” he said.
Liang Chen lifted his wrist, checked the time, and asked with a frown, “Haohao’s schedule hasn’t finished for the day?”
“Miss Jing hasn’t called yet.”
Liang Chen’s face darkened instantly. It had been several days of her coming home late at night. What exactly was the crew pulling? Why did the filming take so long?
Although her mood had improved a lot lately, and she was eating more, with such early starts and late finishes, her petite frame surely wouldn’t be able to handle it.
He let her go on set to film for her happiness, not to make her suffer!
After waiting for a while and hearing no response from Liang Chen, the driver offered, “I know a taxi driver who’s a friend. May I call him to pick up Miss Jing?”
“No need, I’ll pick her up later.”
…
Nobody in the crew was a fool. They could clearly see Zhou Nan was making trouble out of nothing, specifically against Jing Haohao.
Jing Haohao didn’t have a particularly good relationship with the others on set, and no one came forward to help her. Even worse, others watched the drama unfold with a sense of detachment.
