Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 859 - 857: Impossible to Achieve Overnight (First Update)

After filming this set of shots that amazed and astounded the director and everyone on set, Si Han shot a few more scenes with her parents.

Compared to the smooth and impressive first set of shots, these scenes, which were richer in emotional content, made Si Han appear somewhat nervous and restrained in front of the camera.

Fortunately, the middle-aged actors she was acting against were quite famous veteran actors. Whether Director Sun had given them some instructions, or they sensed something unusual from Si Han’s various special treatments, these two veteran actors were kind and friendly to Si Han, even if they had to accompany her through multiple NGs (no good), they showed no sign of complaint.

If it were a warm scene, Si Han wouldn’t have been too afraid, as her relationship with Le Tong had always been very good; she could just consider the veteran actress in front of her as Le Tong.

But this particular scene involved an argument: her parents were scolding her for secretly changing her university major. She was reprimanded a few times and, acting rebelliously, couldn’t help but talk back to her parents.

This kind of intense emotional outburst, without regard for the other party’s feelings, was a completely unfamiliar experience for Si Han, who had always had a harmonious relationship with her parents. As a result, she couldn’t capture the right feeling for the argument and object-throwing scenes with her on-screen parents.

After several NGs, the actress playing the mother, Luo Qingru, made a suggestion to the director.

"Director Sun, why don’t we shoot this scene in the afternoon and switch it with the afternoon scene, is that okay?"

Director Sun cast a questioning glance, and Luo Qingru quickly took Si Han’s hand, "I’ll go bond with my daughter for a while..."

Originally thinking that Luo Qingru was angry, Nuonuo was startled for a moment but quickly figured it out; the other party wanted to rehearse with her privately.

"Sister Luo, I’m sorry for wasting your time." Si Han, being aware of her status as a newcomer, had consistently maintained a humble and polite demeanor with everyone in the crew these past few days. Plus, she was pretty and appeared well-behaved without any pretentious airs of a privileged lady, which slowly changed the opinions of those who initially held prejudices against her.

"Silly girl, hasn’t every actor experienced something like this? Come on, let’s take the script and sit under that tree to chat!"

While the crew continued their work, under the shade of a tree, Si Han and Luo Qingru sat facing each other. She had memorized the script’s plot and dialogue by heart and listened as Luo Qingru meticulously analyzed the scenes, guiding her into the role. As she listened, she quietly closed her eyes, trying to conjure up a vivid scene in her mind following Luo Qingru’s description. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Tian Fang remained nearby the entire time. Frankly, she had anticipated that Si Han, as a newcomer, would encounter various problems. However, Luo Qingru, known for her pride, was surprisingly accommodating to Si Han even on their first collaboration, which left Tian Fang quite astonished.

While the "mother-daughter" pair rehearsed, Tian Fang stood close by, always at her side. When her phone rang midway, she glanced at the caller display and quickly answered to avoid disturbing Si Han and the others.

"Young Master Ji, is something up?"

Though Tian Fang kept her voice low, Si Han, with her eyes closed, still raised her brow, her ears involuntarily alert, keenly capturing Tian Fang’s words.

"No, Si Han is performing very well, things are going smoothly; there’s no need for you to worry."

"Lunch? The driver has just gone out to buy it."

"I don’t know how long the afternoon shooting will last. I’ll give you a call when we’re done."

Not until Tian Fang said goodbye to Da Bao and hung up the call did Si Han’s expression relax.

Luo Qingru noticed all this, and lightly patting her shoulder, she smiled and said, "Si Han, if you find it hard to imagine arguing with your parents, you might try imagining it as a quarrel with your brother instead?"

The Young Master Ji mentioned by Tian Fang on the phone was Si Han’s brother; Luo Qingru had learned this on the day of the commencement ceremony. Judging by Si Han’s earlier reaction, she seemed to care deeply about her brother, perhaps even more so than her parents.

Nuonuo opened her eyes and looked earnestly at Luo Qingru for a moment, as if she had thought things through, then nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll give it a try."

Over here, Nuonuo earnestly and diligently followed Luo Qingru’s guidance, attempting different expressions and actions, while not far away under a parasol, He Yinyin slyly sipped hot milk tea through a straw and sneered.

"Hmph, pretending to be such a studious good Baobao, it’s all just an act, right?!"

Her assistant massaged her back gently, the saying "birds of a feather flock together" rings true, as the assistant naturally mirrored the demeanor of her employer.

"Sister Yin, don’t fret, tell Boss Qi later, and let’s see how long she can flaunt herself?"

He Yinyin, who had been in the circle for two or three years and ridden the coattails of her uncle’s influence to star in small-budget productions, easily snagged lead roles from obscure directors. So this time, she originally thought the lead role was hers to lose.

Unbeknownst to her, Director Sun only gave her the second female lead, and though this role appeared from time to time, it was essentially a thankless side role with no highlights. Also, during the opening ceremony, Si Han hadn’t even acknowledged her, leading to both open and secret embarrassments, fueling He Yinyin’s anger at seeing Luo Qingru’s special attention to Si Han.

The assistant’s words weren’t necessarily sincere, just something said casually to soothe her employer’s tender and hurt little heart.

But He Yinyin, however, silently took note of it.

Luo Qingru and Si Han even had lunch together, and in between, the actor playing the father, the once enormously popular film emperor Jiang Tao, came over multiple times, with the same goal as Luo Qingru.

Recognizing the hard work of the two seniors, Nuonuo felt extremely guilty, not daring to delay lunch for too long. After gulping down the last bite and half a cup of water, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, picking up the script to humbly seek advice from her seniors.

"Oh, my dear, why are you in such a hurry? Wipe your mouth clean and take a few minutes to rest; Sister Luo and Brother Tao won’t fault you, right?" Tian Fang handed a tissue to Si Han while smiling obsequiously at the two seniors.

"Exactly, it’s good for a young girl to be ambitious, but you must also take care of yourself. You’ve just eaten, take a few minutes to walk off the meal, and I’ll chat with Sister Luo."

Only then did Si Han obediently get up and slowly meander to where Director Sun was with Tian Fang.

Director Sun was sitting and chatting with Fang Kai and several staff members. As Si Han approached, he kindly said, "Take it slow, Si Han, there’s no pressure on you. Your performance today has far exceeded what we imagined!"
