Chapter 269 - 269 270 Who is Your Backing (5)_1
?Chapter 269: Chapter 270 Who is Your Backing? (5)_1 Chapter 269: Chapter 270 Who is Your Backing? (5)_1 Jing Haohao understood that those people were all too aware of Zhou Nan’s overstep, yet no one came forward to intervene. This confirmed that they were all curious about who could exert enough influence to force a script change for her sake.
Everyone was simply looking forward to seeing her crumble under Zhou Nan’s pressure, rush off in anger to tattle, and call out the power behind her to stand up for her.
In the entertainment industry, many so-called scandals originate from the cast or people around the stars. Fully aware of this, Jing Haohao wasn’t about to naively expose her relationship with Liang Chen and invite media frenzy.
Jing Haohao had always been one to protect herself. Caught off guard by Zhou Nan the first time, she learned to cope. Knowing that Zhou Nan would arrive late, she didn’t rush to get her makeup done when she arrived at the set, instead she found a warm, quiet place to rest. She would only start preparing once Zhou Nan arrived. She cooperated well when Zhou Nan was serious about acting, and stood still in silence when Zhou Nan was lax. After this give-and-take, Jing Haohao found that Zhou Nan’s tactics were limited, and over time, she became more and more adept at dealing with them.
Zhou Nan probably felt that he couldn’t gain anything from Jing Haohao, so gradually he stopped opposing her. Due to previous delays, both of them performed well that day, prompting the director to seize the opportunity to shoot as much as possible.
By 4 pm, they finally caught up to the day’s shooting schedule. With Jing Haohao’s natural gift for acting and Zhou Nan’s experience in taking on numerous roles, by 7 pm, they were left with the last scene for the day.
It happened that the final scene was a night scene. Seeing that both of them were in good form, the director decided to give everyone a dinner break, rest for a bit, and start shooting promptly at eight.
The scene unfolds with the characters of Jing Haohao and Zhou Nan having a showdown in a mud pond filled with blooming lotus flowers. Enraged, Jing Haohao slaps Zhou Nan, pushing him into the mud. Coincidentally, the male lead comes looking for Zhou Nan at that very moment, witnesses the scene, and completely severs ties with Jing Haohao, ending their once close relationship.
A very clichéd plotline. Throughout her acting career, Jing Haohao has played countless such villainous roles. For her, it was as simple as doing household chores.
It was winter, and naturally, they couldn’t shoot lotus flowers in the natural environment, so the crew built a temporary pond filled with a thin layer of mud and topped it with a layer of artificial lotus flowers.
Jing Haohao stood by the pond, and as the director yelled “Action!”, Zhou Nan slowly walked toward her from a distance. When he passed by Jing Haohao, she stopped him.
Jing Haohao played the proud role, Zhou Nan the weak one, and they began their scripted dialogue standing there.
The emotion between Zhou Nan and Jing Haohao intensified as they engaged in their dialogue.
Jing Haohao laughed coldly at Zhou Nan, spitting out her lines, word by word, “Don’t naively think he would marry you now, I’m his fiancée.”
Zhou Nan’s gaze at Jing Haohao became sharp, “A fiancé is only recognized by his parents, he doesn’t acknowledge it himself. He said, he would only marry the woman he deeply loves.”
