Chapter 146: Remember to Get the Check

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Huai immediately retorted, “Hey! Don’t spout nonsense. An’an is my sister. She and I were siblings in our previous life, this life, and our next life. It’s impossible for us to have any romantic feelings for each other. Moreover, Miss Tan, you were the one who invited me to dinner today!”

Tan Si nodded angrily and pointed at Jiang Huai. She did not know what to say. Up until now, the purpose of her invitation had failed.

Tan Si was so angry that she picked up her bag and stood up.

Jiang Huai nonchalantly reminded her again, “Remember to get the check! You were the one who said you wanted to treat me today!”

Tan Si glared at Jiang Huai. Jiang Huai shrugged innocently, but the words in his mouth were as sharp as knives. “Miss Tan, you don’t want a reputation of going back on your word and avoiding paying, right?”

Tan Si took a deep breath. “Don’t worry! 1 don’t care for this bit of money!”

Jiang Huai looked at Tan Si’s disappearing silhouette and felt that the air was much fresher. He got up and walked to the mahogany shelf that was decorated with vases. He picked up a miniature camera and operated it before pocketing it.

Looking at the untouched dishes on the table, Jiang Huai suddenly had an appetite. He sat down and started eating happily.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

Generally speaking, if the production team hired popular celebrities to participate, most of the funds would definitely be used to pay them. The real expenses for filming, production, other actors’ salaries, and so on would not exceed a third of the budget.

Therefore, this time, with sufficient funds, An Xin really did not spend much on paying the actors. Most of the money was spent on scenes, production, and other things that could make the work more perfect.

In addition, no one was a popular celebrity, and there were not many reporters and fans who requested to visit. They were all small-time actors who were not famous. The atmosphere in the production team was very harmonious and friendly, and the efficiency was greatly increased. It saved An Xin, the director, a lot of trouble that could be caused by using a popular celebrity.

Yuan Shao was successfully chosen as the otaku, but his scenes were completed after only a month on set.

Although it hadn’t been long, he had inquired about a lot of insider information. For example, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Huai treated Tan Ming abnormally well, and the reason why this drama could be invested in was all because of Tan Ming’s words.

After Yuan Shao found out, other than when he was filming, he basically hid in a corner to avoid Tan Ming. He was afraid that Tan Ming would suddenly think of what he had done to her one day and rid him with one sentence.

Tan Ming had only stayed with her brother in the production team of “Windward”. Although it was also a good production team, compared to “Cycle”, it still lacked a trace of humanity and the pleasure of speaking freely.

Tan Ming only let Jiang Huai hire a performance teacher to follow her for a month. She did not want to rely too much on the teacher. Instead, she wanted to rely on herself to experience, observe, interact with her peers who acted with her, and learn to look at a scene from more different angles.

On this day, An Xin arranged two scenes of conflict in the morning. It was a scene where the male and female leads were suspects brought in by the old criminal police, who deliberately separated the two of them for questioning.

After the entire scene was filmed, there was enthusiastic applause.

“The game between the two interrogations was super satisfying!”

“An’an, not bad! I don’t doubt that Feng Bin can keep up with Uncle Xing’s scenes. After all, he spent so many years as an actor. You’ve just entered the entertainment industry, but you actually managed to keep up!”

“An’an, the grandmaster did reward you with this gift!”

“To be honest, I feel that these two bits can be used in the trailer. It’s definitely attractive!”

“Brilliant! The background of this scene is a cold confrontation after a long period of fruitless questioning. On the surface, it looks like the old criminal police officer hasn’t made any progress, but in fact, the male and female leads haven’t gotten any more information from the police either. You’ve all vividly displayed the frustration in the hearts of the characters and the calmness on the surface. The entire plot seems especially tense!”

Tan Ming was a little embarrassed by the praise. With a red face, she watched the replay of the surveillance camera with Feng Bin and Uncle Xing.

Tan Ming opened her mouth slightly and covered her face with both hands. She could not believe that she had actually put on a performance when discussing with Uncle Xing.

Tan Ming turned to look at Uncle Xing. Her eyes curved into crescents as she thanked him sincerely.. “Uncle Xing, thank you!”
