C417 The Most Precious Thing about a Man Is That He Knows Himself

After Lee Wei heard the private discussion of the film crew, the thought of letting Xi Mann replace Yan Xi as the female lead surfaced in his mind. Since Elder Hai was so highly respected and hated Yan Xi so much, could he make use of this to push the boat along with the current situation?

He found an opportunity to ask Yu Nan alone, "Director Yu, Yan Xi just let go of the female lead's play and went to be someone else's assistant? Will it not affect the progress of the production?"

"Her scenes are focused on shooting at night."

"But this will drag down the actors who shoot the opposite scenes with her. I have several scenes with her in two days. Do I have to wait for her until midnight every day?" Lee Wei frowned. He seemed reluctant.

"What do you mean?" Yu Nan smelled a trace of conspiracy. Perhaps Lee Wei had not given up on replacing Yan Xi.

"I don't mean anything else. I just think that as a director, you should prioritize the bigger picture. You can't always make an exception for an actor."

After saying that, Lee Wei turned around and left. Yu Nan looked at his back and his eyes gradually darkened.

Although Yan Xi did not ask her assistant Ying Mo to report to Chiang Mochen that she was going to be Elder Hai's assistant, Chiang Mochen had always been very concerned about the situation of the production. Very soon, he heard this news from others. He did not blame Yan Xi for not telling him. He just felt that their family's old master had gone too far this time.

No matter how much this old man made his wife suffer, he would take notes. Sooner or later, he would take revenge!

But he also felt that this was not an opportunity for the old man and Yan Xi to deepen their understanding. So he could only let Ying Mo write down everything that the old man had asked Yan Xi to do and must remember it clearly.

...

Lee Wei had been thinking about how to use the matter of Elder Hai hating Yan Xi to kick Yan Xi out of the production.

That night, Lee Wei and Yan Xi were fighting each other again. He wondered if Yan Xi was always listening to Elder Hai chatting with others. During filming, Yan Xi's acting style was different from usual.

When she performed, she always took better care of the angle of the camera and seemed to be more at ease.

Lee Wei walked past Yan Xi and subconsciously touched the gun. He found that the gun was already in Yan Xi's hands. It was such a simple scene, but Lee Wei actually failed twice!

Because his mind was not on the show at all. Instead, he was thinking about how to kick Yan Xi out of the production team.

"Lee Wei, why are you in such a bad state? Go and rest!" Yu Nan shouted and continued to look at the scene.

Old Master Chiang was watching from not far away. "You understand quickly. You are very smart."

No matter how Old Master Chiang used Elder Hai's name and identity to bully Yan Xi, he was testing his granddaughter-in-law. But if outsiders wanted to bully Yan Xi, it was impossible. This was the character of the Jiang family.

The next morning, Old Master Chiang saw that Yan Xi's expression was very bad. He decided to sleep in his room for the whole morning. Yan Xi only had time to rest for a while.

In the afternoon, she followed Old Master Chiang to watch other actors shoot movies.

"You can't rush the filming, nor can you force yourself to read the lines. Instead, you need to turn the rotten into something magical. You need to use your hand gestures and expression to fill the lines. This way, you won't become a blockhead who only knows how to read the lines." Old Master Chiang was chatting with others, but these words were especially meant for Yan Xi.

Yan Xi heard it and remembered it in her heart. Then, she recorded down the areas that she needed to improve in detail.

Lee Wei happened to pass by. When he saw Elder Hai and Yan Xi, he seemed to have made up his mind. He whispered to his assistant and left in a hurry.

Then Lee Wei's assistant stopped Old Master Chiang when Yan Xi was about to shoot the movie at night and invited him to meet Lee Wei in the restaurant.

Old Master Chiang turned around and looked in the direction Yan Xi left. "Okay, lead the way."

Ten minutes later, Old Master Chiang walked into the private room of the restaurant. Lee Wei was already waiting for him.

"What is it?" Old Master Chiang asked straightforwardly.

"Elder Hai, I heard you are not satisfied with Yan Xi being the lead actress. I will tell you the truth. I think the same as you. I want Xi Mann to be the lead actress, so please think of a way to replace Yan Xi. We will give you a good price." Lee Wei observed from the side for two days. He felt that since Elder Hai hated Yan Xi so much, he would definitely agree to his request.

But...

Old Master Chiang stared at him for a few seconds and asked, "Do you think I hate Yan Xi that much?"1

"Isn't that so? Otherwise, why did you target her among so many actors?"

"It's really strange. Who do I hate? Can a brat like you tell who I hate? Besides, you don't want Yan Xi to be the female lead. You want Xi Mann to be the lead. Do you think Xi Mann's acting skills are better than Yan Xi's?" Old Master Chiang instantly became strict. He did not allow others to bully his granddaughter-in-law.

Lee Wei was a little embarrassed. He wanted to continue persuading Old Master Chiang, but Old Master Chiang's words made him feel ashamed.

"Yan Xi already let bygones be bygones for the scene of the car accident last time. How can you all be so shameless?"

Lee Wei did not expect Old Master Chiang to know about this. Indeed, the reason why he and Xi Mann could stay on the set and even continue to walk in the entertainment circle was because Yan Xi did not tell the truth. So he forgot about the danger that day.

"I..."

"Come on, open your eyes wide and see why I let Yan Xi be my assistant. Why did I specially instruct her to act? Because other than her, you guys are not worthy." Old Master Chiang stood up and said rudely to Lee Wei, "The most precious thing in a person is that you know yourself. You are evil and will be avenged by God sooner or later."

After saying that, Old Master Chiang stood up and was about to leave.

Lee Wei was also annoyed. He shouted, "Isn't he just an investor? Do you really think you are great?"

"Yes, I am just an investor. But without me, do you have a chance to shoot? " Old Master Chiang retorted, "Before you do anything, you have to weigh your own weight. Yan Xi let you guys go once. You have to be grateful, or you will be finished."

This time, Old Master Chiang left with a cold face, leaving Lee Wei trembling in anger in the private room.

This old man was even more annoying than Yan Xi. What kind of background did he have?

Lee Wei thought for a long time in the private room, but he still could not swallow this anger. He called his assistant and told her some things.

That night, Yan Xi was forced to accompany the investors for dinner. She was spread out by the unspoken rules. Many media reporters called Yu Nan and the crew members overnight to ask about the first-hand news.

Of course, Yu Nan denied it, but some people in the crew said what they saw.
