Chapter 1400: Chapter 1393: Encounter (3)

As soon as Huang Mi joined the crew, he smiled at her: "Hey, isn’t this my girlfriend? How come you’ve left me for someone else in this drama?"

It was indeed a coincidence that for two consecutive dramas she played the role of Huang Mi’s fervent admirer, and even in this one, she was secretly in love with him, which ultimately led to a fallout with the female lead. Seeing an old friend, Xue Feifei responded with a generous smile: "Would I dare? If I were to pursue you, wouldn’t your possessive fans tear me apart?"

Due to the previous scandal, Xue Feifei had been constantly berated by Huang Mi’s fans. Even after clarifying the nature of their relationship, there were some fans who still felt she wasn’t good enough for their idol, or that she lowered his standing. No matter what she posted on Weibo, whatever the content, there were always people attacking her. It was lucky that Xue Feifei paid no mind to these toxic fans, or else it could have turned into a public spat between celebrities because of fan behavior.

Huang Mi laughed again: "That wouldn’t happen. And even if it did, it’s no big deal since you already have the experience to handle them."

Huang Mi rarely joked around unless he was very familiar with someone. Although Xue Feifei had been in the industry for five years, her previous work was all on web dramas, and she was a virtual unknown until being involved in a scandal with Huang Mi, which brought her to public attention. This was an excellent opportunity for other actors to disparage her, to profit from her fame, and to generate traffic for themselves. Many male stars were terrified of getting entangled by such unknowns. Even without the pursuit of romance, it could spark some heat and increase one’s fame. Huang Mi had even been aggressively pursued by some female stars before and had issued stern warnings to reject all unwelcome overtures and pairing-up. Unexpectedly, he became friends with Xue Feifei.

In front of the entire crew, Huang Mi took Xue Feifei to the director and said directly: "Feifei is a very good actress; she’s dedicated and hardworking. If there’s a suitable script in the future, you might consider her."

This was no simple friendship; it was a strong endorsement that only close friends would make. Rumors outside suggested that Xue Feifei’s second collaboration with Huang Mi was secured through the efforts of Yu Sixing working behind the scenes. Could it be that she really got the part by leveraging her connection with Huang Mi?

The two of them were open and unconcerned about appearances, yet they were not intimate. The entertainment industry is shrewd; there’s a different vibe between men and women who have been intimate. Clearly, these two hadn’t gone that far; they weren’t even considered a couple.

The director then chuckled: "Xue Feifei is hardworking and diligent, indeed a fine actress. We’ll collaborate again if the opportunity arises."

With Huang Mi present, filming progressed swiftly. He was also professional; despite only having a cameo role, he had received the script well in advance and had read it thoroughly. As soon as he was in makeup and on set, he got into character instantly. When acting opposite Xue Feifei, the two, being well acquainted and having worked together before, quickly fell into their roles. Whether it was a group scene or a duo or solo scene, they passed them all smoothly.

However, Huang Mi had quite a few scenes to shoot and had squeezed two full days into his schedule. It was a hectic day that went into the wee hours, leaving everyone too exhausted to speak. After a brief rest, they arrived early the next morning to continue shooting, and by evening, Huang Mi had effectively wrapped up all his scenes.

Huang Mi had a flight early the next morning. With time to spare tonight, he took the rare opportunity to host a dinner for the whole crew, and Xue Feifei was there too.

But outside the lively private dining room...
