The stage supervisor glanced at Shen Liangchuan after the director spoke.

Everyone knew about Best Actor Shen’s idiosyncrasy. They had even secretly made bets in the past because of this, that Best Actor Shen could very well prefer gentlemen over ladies.

It was only after the news broke about his marriage that these talks were somewhat quelled.

Hence, after the director’s remark, the stage supervisor immediately assured him, “Of course they’re not ugly! The two actresses I found for today are nothing but spirited and full of life, absolutely natural beauties. I’m getting their makeup done right now.”

At this point, he threw another hurried look at Shen Liangchuan and suggested, “Would you like me to bring them to you to have a look? See which one you like and which one you’d prefer to work with for your scene?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“These actresses,” Shen Liangchuan wondered, “were selected by him?”

He cast his gaze down and said indifferently, “There’s no need for that.”

The stage supervisor was disappointed.

Those two stunning beauties, to be honest, were prettier than the leading actress.

Best Actor Shen would surely like them if he saw them.

The director would then be impressed by his capability. But why didn’t Best Actor Shen want to have a look at them?

The director also gave Shen Liangchuan some well-meaning advice, “We hope you will agree later... It’s just a bit of physical contact. And we will shoot the kissing scene from a false perspective.”

Ah!

The unspoken sorrows of a director!

Anyone would find it a pleasure to work with an actor like Shen Liangchuan because he took his work seriously.

But to actually reject kissing scenes... What sort of behavior was that?

The director and the stage supervisor both were quite helpless.

They walked out of the room; the director was sullen.

The stage supervisor quickly said, “Director, don’t worry. You just wait, wait till the two actresses come on stage. I guarantee you that Best Actor Shen will like what he sees! The two actresses I found for these roles are very pretty.”

The director could only try. “That’s all we can do!”

The stage supervisor smiled, then turned and walked away.

He hurried back to the makeup room and said as he entered the room, “Makeup artist, make sure they look their best!”

Then he told Qiao Lian and Shu Nianyao, “Erm... Initially, I was going to get you our best makeup artist, but Qiao Yiyi didn’t agree so we had no choice, we can only—”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Qiao Lian’s and Shu Nianyao’s faces and was completely stunned.

Good grief!

A natural beauty would look beautiful, no matter what you did to her face!

These two girls were completely breathtaking.

But...

“Could you two look a bit more charming? You’re too proper now, and you have too much presence. You don’t look at all like prostitutes, you look more like princesses!”

Qiao Lian: ...

Shi Nianyao: ...

The stage supervisor continued to smile. “Oh, be sure you put on your best performance later on! Don’t disappoint Teacher Shen!”

–

Somewhere else.

Qiao Yiyi sat in the lounge. Her assistant walked in. “I’ve asked around and found out. Those women will be playing the two best prostitutes in the brothel. That is your scene with Teacher Shen, where you create havoc in the brothel.”

Qiao Yiyi sneered when she heard this. “She’s only good for such unpopular roles!”

The assistant hung her head after she spoke.

With a vicious expression, Qiao Yiyi said, “You just wait, I’ll take care of her!”

–

Wearing her yellow costume, Qiao Lian followed Shi Nianyao as they entered the filming set.

Shen Liangchuan had a slight frown and there was a hint of impatience on his face.

He followed the stage supervisor, who led him to the filming set.

The stage supervisor gave his most pleasing smile and said, “So the scene goes like this... Later on, you and your friend will need to embrace these two women. You’ll embrace the one in the red costume, while I’ll get the other actor to embrace the one in yellow costume.”
