Chapter 417: Chapter 415 Performance of Special Effects Feel_1

If someone were here, they would surely discover that her script was filled with tiny characters - all her insights, thoughts, and analyses.

Xia Ningxing was an actress with both talent and a willingness to put forth the effort.

Thinking of a particularly challenging scene, Xia Ningxing decided to seek out Ji Haichuan and run lines with him.

However, she didn’t expect that before she could reach Ji Haichuan’s room, she would overhear a sneering voice coming from the restroom—

"Ji Haichuan, I heard you’re going to play the male lead in ’Tsunami’?" The speaker’s voice dripped with disdain, "Tch, you’re actually accepting a script that looks like a guaranteed flop?"

"And it’s the trash that I rejected!"

Upon hearing this last comment, Xia Ningxing immediately knew who it was.

Third-tier star Su Qifei!

His agent had not only turned down Director Xu’s invitation but also savagely mocked him.

But what was the relationship between him and a newcomer like Ji Haichuan?

Xia Ningxing continued to listen.

"Shut up!" Ji Haichuan, seeing his upcoming film being ridiculed, could not help but get angry.

His fists clenched, his eyes blazing with fury.

"What, are you frustrated and acting out now?" Su Qifei couldn’t help but laugh gleefully, then said, "That’s right. For a newcomer like you, I guess you can’t get any good films besides these flops."

"Anyway, brother still wishes you a bright future, heh heh."

Although he spoke words of blessings, the mockery and contempt in his tone could not be mistaken by anyone.

A street dancer with not a shred of acting talent, and they talk about a bright future?

More like pitch dark!

Ji Haichuan could clearly perceive the insinuations in his words and responded with a grimace, "Spare me your crocodile tears! Just don’t regret turning down this movie!"

"I’m about to die laughing, how could I possibly regret rejecting such a crappy movie."

Nobody expected that getting slapped in the face could be this painful.

With that said, Su Qifei, now poorly concealed, walked out.

Xia Ningxing narrowed her eyes and swiftly ducked to one side.

After he was gone, Xia Ningxing then emerged.

Who would have thought that Ji Haichuan and Su Qifei were brothers?

Different surnames, perhaps half-brothers from a different mother?

As Xia Ningxing was silently speculating, Ji Haichuan also came out of the restroom.

Seeing her, he couldn’t help but pause, "Why are you here?"

"I wanted to talk to you about the script in the restaurant downstairs," Xia Ningxing regained her composure and answered his question.

"Let’s go then," Ji Haichuan nodded.

As they walked, Ji Haichuan couldn’t help but glance at her and hesitated, "You heard the conversation between Su Qifei and me just now, didn’t you?"

Xia Ningxing felt like a thief caught red-handed and admitted sheepishly, "I accidentally heard everything."

"..." Accidentally heard it all?

Ji Haichuan’s lips twitched slightly before he started speaking to himself, "He and I are half-brothers with the same father. My mother was his first wife, and Su Qifei’s mother was the mistress. After learning about the affair, my mother fell into depression and passed away, and the mistress moved in and soon gave birth to Su Qifei."

"Later, I inadvertently discovered that Su Qifei and I are about the same age, which means that my father was already cheating when my mother was pregnant with me."

"Back then, I was young and hotheaded and confronted my father. Result? He slapped me and kicked me out of the Su Family."

"After breaking ties with the Su family, I decided to enter the entertainment industry. I was determined to make a name for myself in street dancing, to prove that even without the Su family, I could still stand on my own. I wanted him to regret throwing me out of the house."

"Unfortunately... I’m just not smart enough."

Ji Haichuan couldn’t help but clench his fist again.

"You’re not too stupid, you just haven’t put your effort in the right direction," Xia Ningxing comforted, "If you perform well in this movie, it will definitely bring you a huge surprise."

"I believe in you!"

Ji Haichuan pursed his lips and gave her a reserved smile.

Xia Ningxing didn’t realize that he said he believed in her, rather than the movie.

In his view, it seemed as long as she said something, it would come true.

"Let’s talk about the script," Xia Ningxing suggested, taking out the script.

After talking for an entire afternoon, Xia Ningxing yawned and went back to her hotel room.

When she picked up her phone, she saw that Lu Tingli had called her dozens of times.

Xia Ningxing frowned, oops, she had forgotten her phone!

Just as she was about to call back, Lu Tingli’s call came through once again.

"Baby Xing!" An anxious voice came from the other end immediately.

Xia Ningxing quickly responded, "Lu, I’m fine."

"If you’re fine, why didn’t you answer the phone?" Lu Tingli didn’t believe her.

"Lu, don’t worry, I’m really fine. I just went to talk about the script with the male lead in the restaurant downstairs and forgot my phone," Xia Ningxing explained hastily.

And she emphasized that she was discussing the script with the male actor in a public place like the restaurant downstairs.

Lu Tingli was preoccupied with her safety and was not in the mood for jealousy, "As long as you’re okay."

His tense nerves could finally relax a bit.

Heaven knows he had just had his secretary buy a plane ticket back home.

After chatting for a while and hanging up the phone, he called his secretary, "Cancel the ticket back home, inform everyone that the meeting will continue."

The secretary was quite relieved, "Okay, boss!"

To speak of it, the domineering CEO was truly unpredictable. For a woman, he was even willing to give up a project worth billions.

When he heard that he was going back home, his secretary’s heart nearly exploded.

He even wanted to curse at him!

What a brainless move, abandoning so much money just to go back home for a woman!

Aaah!

Honestly, us salarymen really can’t understand the boss’ mysterious actions!

The next day.

"Tsunami" officially started filming!

The location was a small villa near the beach.

Since the entire cast was composed of newcomers and superstars, there were no incidents of self-important behavior, and everyone took the filming seriously.

Ji Haichuan, since it was his first time acting in front of a camera, initially felt uncomfortable, but he rapidly improved by leaps and bounds, moving with ease, as if the male protagonist from the script had jumped into reality.

If the female actor had not been Xia Ningxing, he might have overshadowed her performance.

The two of them went back and forth, with a full rendering force.

They acted out the disaster film to its fullest effect.

"Oh my God! Xiaxia’s acting, I’m totally bowled over, I almost thought the tsunami was really coming!" Ruan Ruanruan, temporarily playing the role of assistant, couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

To know, watching a movie and seeing it being filmed are completely different; filming without special effects and dubbing is actually quite boring.

But somehow Xia Ningxing and Ji Haichuan not only made it interesting to watch but also managed to bring out a sense of special effects!
