“Why are you participating in such a variety show?” Su Bei asked.

She knew that He Xuyan had never liked such activities. He usually lived in seclusion and drove an ordinary car worth a few hundred thousand.

“I’ve taken a fancy to a new script and need money to shoot it. This show is paying me a lot of money,” He Xuyan said gloomily. If he couldn’t shoot the new movie, he would probably be nagged to go back to inherit the family business.

He could only give up on his principles.

Back then, he had also agreed with his parents that he would film movies but he would not use the money from He Consortium.

!!

Therefore… Director He was indeed poor.

“No investors?”

“The investors want to change the script.”

Su Bei immediately understood. He refused to change it, so he would rather invest money in it himself, even if it meant accepting a variety show that he didn’t like.

Su Bei really sympathized with her brother. He had really given up everything in his life for his dreams.

Seeing that she looked a little sad, He Xuyan patted her head. “It’s okay. I’m fine with anything. It’s not like I’m selling myself.”

Su Bei burst out laughing. She wanted to ask their parents for some money, but on second thought, if her brother really wanted money, he wouldn’t be in such a dire state now.

Besides, their parents would definitely nag at him and ask him to go back to inherit the family business.

“So, you came specially to see me? At least you have a conscience,” He Xuyan said. The glint in his usually cold and dark eyes was obvious.

Su Bei took out a painting. “Actually, I wanted to give Mom another painting.”

He Xuyan’s eyes darkened.

Su Bei hurriedly said, “But it’s also true that I came to see you. Otherwise, I would’ve just given the painting to mom.”

“Naughty.” There was joy in He Xuyan’s tone.

He reached out and took the painting. “I’ll pass it to Mom.”

“You’re about to film, but your hair is still a little messy…” Su Bei pointed at him.

He Xuyan messed it up himself. He really couldn’t stand the hair gel.

Su Bei said, “Let me help you. Although you’re already very handsome, in order to look more handsome on camera, you still have to style your hair.”

He Xuyan lowered his head and let her fiddle with it.

When the makeup artist and Director Xu saw the two of them come out, their eyes almost fell to the floor.

He Xuyan’s hair was already done, and the impatient aura on his body had disappeared. He was calm and harmonious.

“Can we shoot now?” he asked.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Director Xu immediately went forward and accompanied him to the set.

Xu Zhiqin was also present. Su Bei introduced her to He Xuyan.

In front of outsiders, He Xuyan returned to his usual self. A sense of alienation isolated him.

Xu Zhiqin was familiar with his personality and did not mind.

However, when she saw Yali, Xu Zhiqin choked. How could she bump into her here?

Director Xu quickly lowered his voice and said, “Zhiqin, I didn’t tell you before, but we had already signed Yali. After all, we have to make a living.”

Xu Zhiqin glanced at Su Bei and said, “It’s okay.”

It just so happened that some things should be settled between the parties involved.

Xu Zhiqin was not surprised that the production team had such considerations. Who wouldn’t want to attract attention and be on the trending searches to attract fans?

Wasn’t she the perfect tool to be used?

Yali was also very angry. Director Xu went over to comfort Yali again.

“What’s with this arrangement? Xu Zhiqin did it on purpose, right?” Yali entered the private dressing room and started smashing things.

Xu Zhiqin sneered. Yali was really addicted to acting. Had she really forgotten that she was the one who snatched Pan Hongsen away from her?

Why was she pretending to be innocent?

Su Bei knew that this was something Xu Zhiqin had to do. She wouldn’t meddle. She instructed her assistant to take good care of Xu Zhiqin and went to do her own things.

During the filming, every actor had to draw lots to be divided into groups. The actors in the first group had to get a director to be their mentor and ask them to guide them.

After that, the four directors would evaluate the actors in each group. The three with the lowest scores would be eliminated while the others advanced.

Perhaps to make it up to Yali, the production team gave priority to Yali’s group. Her group quickly chose Chen Ke. He was a middle-aged and outstanding director. He had made a name for himself in his early years and was magnanimous. It could be said that he was the best choice.

Another group chose an old female director named Yan Li. She liked to guide newcomers the most. She was gentle and easy to talk to. As for Gao Chengru, he was also a young director. He was a little picky and had a sharp tongue, but he was not a bad person.

When it was Xu Zhiqin’s group’s turn to choose, they were only left with He Xuyan as an option.

Everyone knew how strict He Xuyan was. As long as something didn’t satisfy him, he would turn hostile and leave at any time. Unless it was someone who wanted to be eliminated in the first round or purely wanted to use He Xuyan’s fame to hype things up, no one would dare to choose him.

However, Xu Zhiqin had no choice but to choose He Xuyan.

However, because of Yali, no one sympathized with Xu Zhiqin. Instead, they smirked and watched her make a fool of herself.

“Someone like Xu Zhiqin deserves it. Does she think that just because she’s on the same show as Yali, Pan Hongsen will see how good she is?”

“Yali has a good temper. If anyone covets my boyfriend like this, I’ll really explode!”

“Forget it, forget it. It has nothing to do with us. Let’s go and read the script.”

The people who were drawn to be in the same group as Xu Zhiqin were a man and a woman. They both felt that they were extremely unlucky. Now, not only did they have to face He Xuyan, a director who was extremely strict, but they also had to be implicated by Xu Zhiqin’s anti-fans. They were complaining endlessly about it.

They followed He Xuyan to the training room, but they were still whispering about things.

He Xuyan said coldly, “Since you like to gossip so much, why don’t you go out and talk before coming back?”

The two of them blushed and quickly stopped thinking.

Xu Zhiqin instructed the cameramen not to shoot anymore. She said to He Xuyan, “Director He, can I talk to you alone?”

“Go ahead.” He Xuyan was emotionless.

“Director He, I’m here because I really want to improve my acting skills. If I do something wrong, please let me know. I hope I can learn more quickly.”

He Xuyan said calmly, “Do I look like the kind of person who would casually brush you off?”

“Of course not.” Xu Zhiqin was afraid that he would hold back on her because of the camera and the production team’s opinion.

She had never been afraid of opinions as long as they could help her improve.

He Xuyan looked at her deeply. The others were unwilling to choose him, but she seemed happy with this outcome.
