CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: A NARROW ENCOUNTER!

Mu Yan lifted her head and saw a tall figure standing in front of her. Against the light, she couldn’t quite make out his face.

"You’ve had two consecutive NGs today, and maybe soon a third, fourth, or even more than I did. The good impression you left with the director might break," He Jianzhou chuckled softly. "Are you scared?"

Mu Yan’s brow slightly furrowed. Was this schadenfreude?

She said calmly, "Even if I NG a hundred times, do you think I won’t continue to act? Thanks for your concern."

She stood up and walked towards Director Chen.

He Jianzhou watched her back, eyes full of interest.

With such a mindset eager to prove oneself, no one can succeed, not even a genius at acting.

Before long, the third scene began.

Surprisingly, the process was smooth and the outcome perfect.

Director Chen even praised Mu Yan, "Well done."

Considering how rarely Director Chen praises people, Li Yushen couldn’t help but ask, "What did you imagine me as?"

"Superbaby, my home’s bear!"

Li Yushen, "..."

Subsequently, they shot several extra scenes of the General and Princess embracing at sunset, then wrapped up for the day.

Li Yushen went over to Chen Zhou to watch a playback and suddenly heard Chen Zhou ask, "Did you teach her how to act?"

Li Yushen chuckled, "Seems you’ve also noticed her exceptional understanding, but I didn’t teach her."

Chen Zhou nodded but said nothing.

Mu Yan wasn’t familiar with the crew, and since she had to study the script, she went straight back to the hotel after wrapping up.

What she didn’t know was that right after she and Luo Yao got into the nanny van, two acquaintances walked up.

A slightly surprised female voice said, "Did I just see Mu Yan?"

Chen Fang watched the nanny van leave, eyes full of confusion.

"In broad daylight, talking nonsense. How could she be here?" said Zhou Lifen impatiently next to her.

She was dressed in a Republic-era costume with heavy makeup, obviously filming nearby as well.

Seeing her displeased, Chen Fang quickly said, "I must’ve been mistaken. Even if Mu Yan got the magazine cover, she couldn’t have landed a role so quickly."

"Can you not bring that up?" An angry expression crossed Zhou Lifen’s beautiful face.

Chen Fang immediately fell silent.

The "Micro Era" initially sought out Zhou Lifen for the cover, but a few days before the shoot, she was hospitalized with a gastric hemorrhage.

Then a slew of scandals followed, leaving her utterly vexed.

When "Micro Era" asked for her opinion on the shoot, she canceled the contract in a fit of anger.

After all, given her status, she didn’t care about the publicity or the penalty.

But who would have thought Mu Yan would stumble upon such good fortune.

When she saw the trending search at noon, she almost smashed her phone in rage.

Hearing Mu Yan’s name now made Zhou Lifen’s mood sour again.

If it wasn’t for that little bitch Mu Yan, would she have ended up in the hospital?

Would she have handed the opportunity to that little bitch?

"Alright, let’s see if Director Chen has wrapped up," Zhou Lifen frowned, looking dissatisfied.

"Okay," Chen Fang quickly replied, not wanting to provoke her further.

After walking a few steps, they encountered several people coming their way.

Seeing Wang Linjia approaching, Chen Fang turned her head towards Zhou Lifen, "Looks like we came here for nothing today."

Everyone knows that the lead actress in Chen Zhou’s film is Wang Linjia.

She’s leaving, so the crew must have wrapped up.

Zhou Lifen didn’t reply, walked a few steps forward, and greeted Wang Linjia with a smile, "Isn’t this Sister Lin Jia? What a coincidence."
