Chapter 157

The news of Yi Tiantian's entry into the film industry greatly excited the two assistants, Yuetyue and Yangyang.

Because this meant there would be more juicy gossip to enjoy in the future!

The domestic film industry always likes to mold actors participating in movies into unreachable figures, making people think they are high and mighty deities.

But that won't be the case in the future!

Thanks to Yi Tiantian's presence, all artists with questionable behavior will be exposed for what they truly are!

And most importantly, this time it's not just Yi Tiantian joining the crew, but the two of them as well!

Before, when sending Yi Tiantian to his shows, Yuetyue always hoped that one day she could enjoy the latest gossip firsthand, but she never had the chance.

However, things were different now; she could finally join the crew and eat the gossip on site!

Thus, Yuetyue hummed a little tune excitedly all the way.

"Today, we common folk are so happy!"

Yuetyue sat in the passenger seat, without glancing at Yi Tiantian in the backseat.

Yangyang, seeing Yuetyue's expression, already understood everything. She definitely hoped Yi Tiantian would spill some major gossip!

But although Yi Tiantian looked expectant, he didn’t reveal any juicy gossip.

The more Yi Tiantian acted like this, the more Yuetyue believed she would get to enjoy some extraordinary gossip; she had been imagining it all the way in the car.

By the time they arrived at the set, Yuetyue was exhausted from overthinking.

The movie Yi Tiantian was going to make a guest appearance in was called "Co-rental Men and Women." It seemed like a light-hearted romantic comedy on the surface, but in reality, it was far from that.

The movie mainly told the story of a male protagonist who was a hitman. He was commissioned to assassinate a female lead who was an entrepreneur in the process of starting her own business. The plot not only included various bizarre business battles but also some dramatic love triangles.

The movie also had a female second lead, a pure and innocent type of girl, who was the male lead's forbidden love.

In the end, this forbidden love fell for the female lead and betrayed the male lead.

Yi Tiantian thought the script of this movie was just average, but because the investor was extremely luxurious, the director paid great attention to the filming of this movie.

Yi Tiantian’s role in the movie was that of a young boy the female lead met during her entrepreneurial low period.

The young boy helped her through this difficult time, making her laugh and playing with her, but he left her side once her entrepreneurial journey became smooth again.

The female lead was secretly heartbroken for a long time, which also triggered the male lead’s possessive nature.

The most significant scene for Yi Tiantian in this movie was when the male lead confronted him.

The young boy who had been accompanying the female lead didn’t back down from the male lead’s threats; instead, he wanted to get even closer to the female lead.

This enraged the male lead so much that he killed over a dozen serial killers on the spot to vent his fury.

While Yi Tiantian didn’t fully grasp this plot, he was greatly shocked by it.

When he arrived at the set, they were filming the scene where Yi Tiantian appeared.

The filming for "Co-rental Men and Women" was entirely on location, so Yi Tiantian, along with his two assistants, Yuetyue and Yangyang, drove to the shooting location.

It was a tall building located in the city center.

As Yi Tiantian had read the script a few times beforehand, he knew there was a famous scene in this drama where the male lead was chasing a murderer across rooftops between two buildings, while the female lead was at home taking a bath and doing skincare. Although they were in the same frame, they were doing entirely different things.

Yi Tiantian remembered laughing out loud when he saw this part.

Upon arriving at the set, he found two staff members waiting for him.

"Mr. Yi, you're here."

The crew staff immediately approached to greet Yi Tiantian upon seeing him.

Both staff members, a man and a woman, wore bright smiles.

"Hello to both of you."

Yi Tiantian greeted them.

"Welcome to our crew. I'm Assistant Director Ren. Since Director Wang is directing on set, he sent us to welcome you first."

The male staff member said to Yi Tiantian with a smile.

"I understand."

Yi Tiantian didn't mind at all. After all, he had never been one to put on airs or care about such details.

"What scene is currently being filmed? Can we watch?"

"We are currently filming a scene where the male and female leads argue over co-renting issues."

The other female staff member explained to Yi Tiantian.

"The two leads' close relationship makes it difficult for them to get into the argumentative state."

"They can't get into the argumentative state because their relationship is too good?!"

"But Liu Liu is indeed a good guy. He gets along with almost everyone in the entertainment industry, and it’s hard for anyone to have a bad relationship with him!"

Yi Tiantian thought to himself silently.

Hearing this, Yueyue's eyes lit up.

What does this mean?!

This means a big scoop is coming!

The two staff members, who also heard Yi Tiantian's thoughts, glanced at each other but didn’t show much surprise.

Yi Tiantian’s various legendary deeds had already made them feel that there must be something special about him, which is why he keeps causing so many waves in the entertainment industry.

However, regarding Yi Tiantian’s inner thoughts, they didn’t quite agree.

A recent rumor has been circulating among the staff on set.

And this rumor pertains to the 'nice guy Liu Liu' in the entertainment industry.

The two staff members thought that Yi Tiantian was still too young, as appearances can be deceiving. The nice guy isn’t really a nice guy at all!

Instead, he is the demon in everyone’s heart!

The two staff members first helped Yi Tiantian and her two assistants check in to the hotel, and finally led the three of them to the set.

Everyone was surprised that nearly an hour had passed, and Director Wang was still directing the lead actor and actress in their argument scene.

Director Wang was a man who looked middle-aged, with a few bald spots on his head, seemingly not too concerned about his appearance.

The lead actor and actress were much more pleasing to the eye.

The lead actor’s name was Liu Liu, a man with a melancholic aura. His brows were perpetually furrowed, and his eyes always looked as if it were raining.

The actress’s name was Xiao Yemin, a capable woman whose appearance wasn’t particularly soft and even had a touch of aggressiveness.

Yi Tiantian, along with Yueyue and Yang Yang behind her, watched the lead actors in front of the director with great interest. They found that the two of them were mimicking Director Wang’s words like parrots.

Director Wang was shouting passionately, “Liu Liu, can you show some masculinity? When I tell you to curse someone out, just do it! Don’t hold back even if the woman in front of you is your good friend! Come on, repeat after me: I’m going to get to the bottom of everything today!”

“I’m going to get to the bottom of everything today!”

The lead actor Liu Liu parroted Director Wang’s words but was noticeably less forceful than the director.

Director Wang, unsatisfied, sighed and said to him, “You practice here by yourself for a bit. Come on, Xiao Yemin, repeat after me: Are all your actions lies? I have no idea what you’re hiding!”

“Are all your actions lies? I have no idea what you’re hiding!”

Although the actress delivered the line with the right intensity, the director was still not satisfied.

“I think you’re overdoing it a bit. The female lead in our story is gentle yet resolute, but you’re being too forceful!”

The director scratched his head, feeling somewhat defeated.

He couldn’t even direct such a simple scene properly!

After being criticized by the director, Xiao Yemin was clearly a bit unhappy, but she didn’t dare to challenge Director Wang, who had both the background and the power, so she could only stand there with a sulky look.

“No, I don’t think either of you has the right tone! Both of you need to reflect on the problems with your delivery.”

In the end, the director could only say this.

“I’ll give you half an hour to rehearse these two lines in your own way. It’s best to record your voices and listen to them, and figure out what’s off.”

“Director Wang is truly dedicated! No wonder the films he makes are so famous!”

“With such meticulous attention to detail, it’s hard for his movies not to be hits!”

Seeing this, Yi Tiantian couldn’t help but admire it with a sigh.

This exclamation stunned everyone on the set.

People turned their heads to search for the source of the voice, and finally focused on Yi Tiantian, who was standing in the corner.

The two assistants behind Yi Tiantian straightened up, looking very proud.

Exactly!

Are you all surprised?

Our Brother Yi is truly impressive!

However, Yi Tiantian was different.

"Why is everyone looking at me?"

"Could it be that I forgot to wash my face before leaving the house today?!?"

"No, I did wash it!"

Yi Tiantian's self-doubt confirmed to everyone that he was the one speaking just now!

Because of the commotion, Director Wang also noticed Yi Tiantian's arrival and quickly put aside his work to come over.

"Mr. Yi, welcome, welcome."

Director Wang greeted Yi Tiantian with a smile, extending his hand.

"Welcome to our production. We were shooting just now and didn’t notice you right away, I apologize for that!"

"No problem, no problem. Director Wang, hello. The shoot is more important."

Yi Tiantian also politely returned a smile to Director Wang.

"However, Director Wang, your dedication to the shoot is truly impressive. Even a layperson like me can see how professional you are!"

Yi Tiantian's words were not just flattery; everyone on set thought the same.

"Oh, you’re too kind," said Director Wang, a bit embarrassed. Although his appearance was disheveled, he was a good person. Seeing that Yi Tiantian wanted to watch the filming, he quickly called over the staff.

"Please, arrange a seat for Mr. Yi."

After thanking the director, Yi Tiantian, along with Yueyue and Yang Yang, continued to watch the shoot.

By this point, the two lead actors seemed to have adjusted their state and started performing together.

Liu Liu was seen shouting his lines with all his might.

Yi Tiantian watched, his lips twitching slightly.

"Liu Liu is really putting all his effort into playing the villain!"

"But someone as gentle as him just doesn’t fit the role. This must be quite a challenge for him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Liu felt deeply saddened and blamed himself.

Those around overheard this and found it a bit outrageous.

"Is Yi Tiantian unaware of the situation? I heard Liu Liu is a domestic abuser. His wife is covered in scars year-round, allegedly from his beatings!"

"Yes, it’s been the talk of the industry for some time. I thought everyone knew!"

"I heard Liu Liu’s wife has finally had enough and is preparing to sue him!"

"He deserves it. People who commit domestic violence should be punished!"

Yi Tiantian heard the discussions around him but did not respond.

However, Yueyue and Yang Yang, standing behind him, were a bit upset.

This is Yi Tiantian here!

His intuition has never been off before!

There must be some kind of misunderstanding!

At this moment, the male and female leads rehearsed several times but still couldn't get into the right rhythm, because the male lead, Liu Liu, was too gentle, while the female lead, Xiao Yemin, was too assertive.

"Can you speak up a bit more?! It sounds like you haven't eaten anything!"

After several rehearsals, Xiao Yemin, clearly frustrated, turned her dissatisfaction directly on the male lead, Liu Liu.

Liu Liu lowered his head, looking deeply apologetic.

He murmured, "Sorry, Ye Min. I'll give it a few more tries."

Seeing Liu Liu's demeanor, the staff present started to feel a bit puzzled.

Can someone with such a gentle personality really be a domestic abuser?!

Could it be that what Yi Tiantian sensed was true? Did Liu Liu actually never abuse anyone at all?!

"How could that be?! I’d bet my life on it, this Liu Liu is definitely faking it right now!"

"Yes, people with histrionic personality disorder behave that way. They act normal in public but are actually scumbags!"

"Exactly! That’s what they say about histrionic personality disorder online!"

While some people began to believe what Yi Tiantian had sensed, most remained skeptical.

Seeing such a meek Liu Liu, the female lead, Xiao Yemin, was extremely impatient.

"If it weren’t for the crowd watching, Xiao Yemin would have probably rushed over to punch Liu Liu!"

[Because this seemingly independent and strong female lead, in private, was actually a 'fighter' who had beaten numerous employees!]
