CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: UNDERSTANDING

This film is already wrapping up.

Most of the crew members are from the original team and know Gu Cheng’s demands and style, which is why he dared to leave with peace of mind.

However, it was only after he returned that the atmosphere on set turned normal.

With looks not inferior to actors, but an aura of aloofness and authority, the director stared coldly at the camera.

Usually, at this time, no one around would even dare to breathe heavily.

Today, there was a small stool and a little Tuanzi beside the authoritative director.

Tuanzi was wearing a small hat with a little megaphone, playing the part well.

She was fair, soft, and adorable like a jade ball, always sitting there, her big eyes darting around, never making a sound to disturb anyone.

Apart from the actors in the scene, the rest of the crew couldn’t help but glance at the director... and the little Tuanzi beside him.

Noticing everyone’s stares, Tuanzi gave a sweet smile.

Crew member: Heart hit!

At this moment, the authoritative director looked over coldly.

Crew member: Chills down the spine.

Cold and warm the whole time, during the break, the crew suspected they were catching a cold.

While others took their break, Gu Cheng was checking the footage shot earlier, occasionally frowning.

Some actors noticed this, starting to sweat, fearing Gu Cheng was dissatisfied and would want to redo it.

Tuanzi sat on the stool, glancing around, this person was drinking water, that person was eating, looking back, everyone was lying down resting, finally looking at her big brother, sitting up straight, side face cold, fully focused.

She quietly stood up, shuffled away, and headed to the logistics staff.

She had observed before, the logistics staff were responsible for distributing lunch boxes!

Wherever lunch boxes are distributed, there must be water and other food.

A few minutes later, Tuanzi came back holding two bottles of juice and a few pieces of bread.

At this time, Gu Cheng was sitting there resting with closed eyes.

Perhaps due to his attitude and style, no one dared to approach him.

People came and went in the crew, but he alone sat there.

Tuanzi stopped, blinked.

"Big brother!"

She called softly, like a gust of wind, and offered the juice and bread like treasure.

"Look what Miaomiao got?"

Her big eyes sparkling, filled with amusement, as if she was offering not simple food, but delicacies.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly."

She handed one of the bread to Gu Cheng, chattering, "It’s been six hours since we last ate, you must be hungry."

As soon as Gu Cheng obediently tore open the wrapper, she started twisting open a bottle cap.

Gu Cheng was about to help, only to see his sister swiftly twist open the cap and hand the juice to him.

"Drink quickly, drink quickly, you’ve been shouting at them, you must be very thirsty."

The hand accepting the drink paused.

The handsome man raised his eyes slightly, seeing his sister’s normal expression, dared to ask softly, "Was I very fierce?"

"Huh?"

Tuanzi herself had torn open a package, taking a big, fierce bite, her left cheek puffed up.

She chewed, swallowed the bread, then asked, "What fierce?"

Gu Cheng lowered his eyes slightly, "Was I being very fierce just now?"

When he entered work mode, he basically forgot himself, couldn’t care less about the people around, only having eyes for those roles. If the role didn’t meet his expectations, he criticized mercilessly.

It’s not that he didn’t know some people called him picky behind his back, but he hoped that his and everyone’s work would be flawless. This way, even if the work didn’t win an award, he would still feel it was perfect.

Working together to create a flawless work, everyone making some progress through this work, such a work is an excellent one.

There aren’t many who agree with this philosophy. Even, under his harsh demands, many actors directly gave up.

"Not fierce at all."

Gu Cheng was slightly stunned, then raised his eyes, and before him appeared a chubby little face.

His sister smiled like a blossom, "Big brother was just so handsome, super cool."

Tuanzi freed a hand, picking up the small megaphone, "Ahem, just now that scene... just like this, super handsome."

Tuanzi herself is a diligent martial artist.

Before, following her master to learn, she had to get up before dawn, practice basic skills, take a short rest after breakfast, then start learning techniques. After lunch, practice calligraphy, and then more martial arts.

Basically, by night, she would fall asleep as soon as she hit the bed. Tired, but fulfilling.

Day after day, year after year, made her the Little Heroine she is now.

"There’s nothing wrong with being serious," Tuanzi ’plopped’ down on the stool, kicking her legs, "Master says, the more you put in, the more you gain."

Thinking about how the system said her brother’s previous film won an international film award, she sweetly added, "Big brother is so good because he’s serious, he’s the most, most, most outstanding director!"

His tense expression gradually softened.

Even Gu Cheng didn’t notice, but in his gaze towards his sister, there was a hint of a smile.

"Not the most outstanding yet, there’s still a lot of room to improve."

"In Miaomiao’s heart, big brother is the most outstanding director." Tuanzi proudly raised her little head.

"Then I’ll keep striving to become one of the top directors."

"Miaomiao will also work hard."

Tuanzi clenched her fists, filled with fighting spirit, "To become the most outstanding Little Heroine!"

The siblings shared a moment of joy.

Vice Director Hong sat beside them playing on his phone, catching a glimpse, and seeing Gu Cheng with someone having a conversation and laughing, he was startled. On closer inspection, he found it was with his sister.

The logistics vice director walked over and sat down, "Before, I thought he was indifferent to his sister returning, but unexpectedly... this is family indeed."

This vice director got an idea, "Do you think, if we let Miaomiao plead, and take a day off, would Director Gu agree?"

Vice Director Hong looked at him meaningfully, "You can try... once you try, you’ll have to leave the crew." If Director Gu really cared about his sister, he would be even less tolerant of others using her.

The logistics vice director: "..."

After having a lunch box, the tense filming resumed.

Tuanzi poked her brother’s arm.

"Miaomiao is going over there to practice."

She pointed at an open space a hundred meters away.

Gu Cheng indeed couldn’t spare more attention to care for her, so he had the assistant take her over, and stay there to watch over her.

Assistant Yang quickly took her over, introducing himself on the way.

He had seen the hot searches too.

"Miaomiao, do you really know so much martial arts?"

"Yes~"

Actually, Tuanzi felt a bit bored, but seeing her brother so earnest, she didn’t want to disturb him.

Seeing the curious little Yang, she couldn’t help but show a brilliant smile.

Yang: "..." This smile is a bit intimidating.

"Brother Yang, do you practice Tai Chi Boxing or Xingyi Boxing? Miaomiao can teach you."

Tuanzi cheerfully said, "Does your neck or shoulders sometimes feel sore?"

Yang’s eyes widened, "How did you know?"

Tuanzi just gave a straightforward conclusion.

"You’re not exercising enough."

She was cute, enthusiastic, spoke sweetly like candy, and Yang, bewildered, joined her in practicing Tai Chi Boxing.
