Yuan Lai looked around the crew, searching for the figure under the niche. He was the assistant director, and if the shooting was in groups, the figure might be somewhere else.

However, what Yuan Lai did not expect was that Nixia was sitting carelessly on a chair in the dance studio, with food placed around him.

He was eating with great relish.

The executive director, holding a talkie and a script, was rehearsing with the dancers, "Don't stare at the camera too much, and don't draw too much attention to the background."

After finishing the meal under the niche, someone immediately added another bowl.

This little life is too comfortable, how can this be called an assistant director? This is like hiring a big boss.

"Oh, who was it? It's Miss Yuan. Sorry for not welcoming you! Have you eaten yet?"

Holding the lunch box under the niche, he was busy talking to Yuan Lai, but his eyes were wandering over the dishes.

"Where's An An? She hasn't come to see me recently."

"She was too noisy, so she was punished by going to the mountains to dig herbs." He pointed to the empty seat next to him with his chopsticks, and took two mouthfuls of rice impatiently, as if he hadn't eaten for a week.

Yuan Lai sat down beside the niche and asked curiously, "Do snake demons also need to eat?"

He paused, then laughed, "I'm not cultivating immortality, so why can't I eat? You've probably read too many novels."

Yuan Lai thought so too. Most people have only seen people who practice Taoism fasting and monsters eating people!

"Have you ever eaten a human being?"

He cleared the rice from his lunch box, waved to the people waiting for more, and wiped his mouth with the paper on the table. "Yes, I've eaten it! I've eaten countless people. Otherwise, why is the word 'monster' such a derogatory term? Monster is the first one."

Yuan Lai was frightened by the expression under the niche and unconsciously wanted to move away from it.

Why didn't she learn her lesson? Back in the field, Kanxia had tried to bite her time and again.

Yuan Lai lost his balance as he leaned backward and fell to the ground with a loud bang, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

The man under the niche reached out and pulled Yuan Lai up, warning the others, "What are you looking at? Film your scene."

Then he stared at Yuan Lai and laughed, "Do you really believe it? I'm just trying to scare you. I don't eat people. It's a different era now. We should be more open-minded and have a broader perspective. There are thousands of delicious foods in the world. Why should I eat people? I'm not a masochist."

That's true. Yuan Lai laughed at himself for being too naive and actually believing the nonsense under the niche.

During a break in filming, Yuan Er came in wearing a very conspicuous wig and confirmed with the audience, "Director, are you sure you want me to wear it?"

The man nodded and said, "You are playing a dance teacher who loves beauty, so wear it."

Yuan'er pleaded in vain, so she had to settle for the next best thing, "Director, I'll just act like myself. After all, I'm not an acting major. I really can't act like that if you ask me to."

"What's that? Isn't it just talking with a pinched throat? That's just a scene. The plot is deliberately made up by you to confuse people. Just get over it. I look forward to your performance later."

Kanxia coaxed Yuan'er away with just a few words. Yuan Lai watched with great interest. If Yuan'er knew that Kanxia was one of the protagonists in the cat snatching incident in Shekou, would she be frightened?

All the cameras in the dance studio were ready. The executive director stood aside with the script tucked under his arm, and the stagehands opened the door a crack to allow the actors to perform.

Yuan'er stood in front of the mirror, indicating that she was ready.

"Come on, everyone, get ready! Lighting, costume editor, fix the actors' trouser legs. One take, one take, start."

Being a dance teacher is something she's used to. Yuan'er performed a few moves smoothly and gracefully. "Let's go over the basics today. Extend your elbow to the right while standing on your left foot. Oh, yes, the girls in the first row are doing it right! Let's do the next two eight-beat moves in a row, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."

The dance class was interrupted when Geng Yun rushed in wearing a colorful shirt and shorts, holding a shiny fruit knife, scaring all the dance students so much that they ran away through the back door.

"Do you have money?"

Yuan'er spread out her hands and asked, "Do I look rich to you?"

Gengyun looked Yuan'er up and down and finally came to the conclusion, "He's dressed so poorly, he must be broke. But the boss said, even if you don't have money, you still have people. Yibo, come in. Since he said he has no money, let's just kidnap him."

Yibo was very excited to see Yuan'er, "Okay, okay."

Yuan'er was not afraid at all. She looked into the mirror and said mysteriously, "Are you still looking at me? They're going to kidnap me!"

Gengyun and Yibo looked at each other and asked Yuaner, "Who are you talking to?"

Yuan'er smiled and shook her head, and then the entire dance studio became completely dark.

"Ahhh, it's getting dark! Where are you, Zhao Yibo?"

"Don't grab my hand! Li Gengyun, you're taking this opportunity to attack me, right?"

Yuan Lai watched for a long time and found that the screenwriter had actually changed Jiang Yan into a light comedy. Such a high-risk situation as robbery was turned into a comedy.

But she is still looking forward to the final film.

It was lively here, but Yiheng's was even more outrageous. There was a poster of a prairie, and a fake horse that looked really fake. Yiheng rode on the fake horse and said in disbelief, "Director, does this make sense?"

"Why not? How can a southerner born in the water ride a real horse in the middle of the night?"

Yiheng smiled and scratched his head, "But this is really weird!"

Dun Dun and Hao Hao laughed loudly on the side.

"Brother, it's okay. You are a psychopath in the drama anyway, so it's reasonable for you to do this!" Haohao held up his mobile phone and took pictures of his brother's appearance.

Dun Dun laughed so hard that he wiped his tears. "It's really outrageous to ride a fake horse on your balcony in your pajamas! But luckily, you and I don't live together, otherwise we would be exposed in a minute."

Yiheng took off his slippers, rolled up the legs of his pajamas to his knees, climbed onto the fake horse, and imagined himself galloping on horseback across the grassland.

A soft side light shone over, and there was actually a sense of sadness.

It turns out that the core of comedy is tragedy.

Yuan Lai walked around and found that Qi Rong and the other party were still talking. She was too lazy to move, so she just found a chair and sat down.

After Qi Rong is done with his work, I will find him to confirm that the author has stopped being a fan and has changed the post overnight.

I have to say that the filming of TV series is really rushed. A crew often has hundreds of people, and money is spent like water every day. They only shoot as much as possible for a scene, and never waste anything.

"Hey, you, come here!"

Yuan Lai unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and had just taken two sips when he was stopped by a middle-aged man.

She stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you still sitting here? The parade is about to start over there, hurry up and change your clothes!"

Are they treating her as an extra waiting for a performance?

This costume looks like a student uniform from the Republic of China era, which often appears in anti-Japanese dramas.
