My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day-Chapter 595 - 587

"Wait for your work to be ruined by some no-name director!"

"Would somebody please kick those two annoying things above out of here!"

"A work belongs to its author, and if they choose to sell the rights, that’s their business. Jealous folks shouldn’t come here trying to make a statement. If you’re capable, why don’t you write a novel and wait for someone to come buy the rights? But remember, don’t sell the rights when they do. Heh heh heh. Though you might want to actually write the novel first!"

Xie Baola casually scrolled through the comments on Weibo and then logged off.

Most of what’s on the internet is all smoke and fog anyway.

No matter how fans and onlookers debated and discussed, it wasn’t going to change Xie Baola’s mind.

The script was already finalized, and she certainly wasn’t going to revise it because of a few online comments.

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes.

It’s impossible to please everyone.

So she just needed to follow her own ideas.

Xie Baola wasn’t one to make compromises to appease others.

Because "Twin Sisters" was being filmed in Hai City,

Xie Baola went to visit Chen Jiayan at Yuanyang Technology after the opening ceremony.

Chen Jiayan and Xie Baola had lunch together outside.

"Shooting starts tomorrow?"

Seated in the elegant restaurant, Chen Jiayan inquired slowly.

Xie Baola methodically sliced her steak, "Yes, filming starts tomorrow. The set’s not far, I’ll head over after I get up in the morning."

"Then I’ll take you."

Xie Baola readily accepted, "Sure."

Chen Jiayan glanced at her, "And in the afternoon, what are your plans?"

Xie Baola’s brows curved, softening her usually sharp features, "Stay with you at your company, how’s that?"

Chen Jiayan’s thin lips pressed together, suppressing a rising smile, "Fine, as long as you’re free."

Xie Baola looked at the reserved man, drawling lazily, "I’m free in the afternoon, of course... but after the movie officially starts shooting, I’ll probably be very busy."

Chen Jiayan hummed in response, "I’ll visit the set when I’m free."

Xie Baola laughed, "Great!"

The movie "Twin Sisters" included scenes set in a school.

The school scenes were filmed at a high school in Hai City.

Chen Jiayan dropped Xie Baola off at the school gates and then went to his company.

Xie Baola arrived early.

The assistant arrived even earlier, full of energy as she ran over to Xie Baola, "Director Xie, have you had breakfast?"

Xie Baola glanced at the assistant, "I ate with my boyfriend."

"So the director has a boyfriend now."

Xie Baola raised an eyebrow, "Don’t I look like it? Do I appear to be single?"

The assistant shook her head, "No, no, you are so beautiful, Director. It’s not strange for you to have a boyfriend."

Xie Baola patted the assistant’s shoulder, "I may be pretty, but don’t just focus on my face; I have talent too."

Saying this, she threw the assistant a provocative look.

That look, brimming with allure,

Not only captivated men, but also women.

The assistant: "..."

The assistant clutched her racing heart.

Oh my gosh, she had almost been bewitched by a woman.

How could she explain that?

Xie Baola grew serious, "Is everything ready?"

The assistant nodded frantically, "It’s all ready, all ready, don’t worry, Director."

"Mm."

Qiao Xi and Su Tutu arrived at the set one after the other.

They each had their own makeup rooms.

As they were playing school students, their initial makeup was very light, giving them a pure and radiant look.

In their school uniforms, they looked even younger, their features brimming with youth.

Xie Baola touched her chin, appraising them, "Indeed, not bad."

Qiao Xi gave a faint smile, "As long as the director is happy."

Su Tutu laughed, "I haven’t worn a school uniform in years. Wearing this now, I feel like I’m back to being eighteen."

Qiao Xi burst into laughter, "Pfft..."

"What are you pffting at?" Su Tutu pushed Qiao Xi, and then laughed along with her.

There was a joyful atmosphere on the set.

Xie Baola’s lips curved into a smile, "Alright, let’s get ready to shoot."

Xie Baola seated herself before the monitor in the director’s chair.

The camera slowly zoomed in on Qiao Xi and Su Tutu with five or six cameras in position.

With Xie Baola’s ’action’, Qiao Xi and Su Tutu immediately got into character.

Chen Xu didn’t have a scene at the moment, but he was there learning with the crew.

Standing behind the crew, Chen Xu marvelled at Qiao Xi’s and Su Tutu’s acting, how they could slip into character without preparation, as if they had become the roles they were portraying. Chen Xu was utterly amazed.

He had seen films starring Qiao Xi and Su Tutu before, but watching on the set was a completely different experience than on TV.

Chen Xu resolved then and there that he would definitely become an excellent actor like Teacher Qiao and Teacher Su in the future!

After one scene wrapped up,

Xie Baola called cut.

Chen Xu was still coming to his senses when someone patted his shoulder.

Turning around, he saw it was the director.

"Director."

Xie Baola looked at him, his eyes pure and vibrant, and smiled faintly, "Your part isn’t up yet, but you can never go wrong watching Xi Bao and Tutu."

Chen Xu nodded, "I will study hard and diligently. I won’t let you down, Director, nor will I hold back Teacher Qiao and Teacher Su!"

He knew he had a great deal to learn.

Xie Baola patted Chen Xu’s shoulder, "Good boy."

She liked handsome people, especially those who were earnest and eager to learn.

Chen Xu’s ears inexplicably reddened.

Xie Baola, not noticing Chen Xu’s reaction, turned to discuss the next scene with Qiao Xi and Su Tutu.

The day went smoothly, and the scenes scheduled were shot without a hitch.

Xie Baola believed in balancing work and rest, and since the production had plenty of funds, they wrapped up before it was even dark.

There was a hotel near the set.

Xie Baola booked rooms in the hotel for the cast and crew.

She also had a room on the top floor of the hotel.

Xie Baola needed to review the day’s rushes, so instead of going home, she stayed at the hotel.

Shen Dang and Sheng Chao couldn’t bear to be away from their wives, and since they were in the same city, they hurried to the hotel after work. Of course, Xie Baola tactfully didn’t intrude.

Once Xie Baola finished her work, night had fallen completely.

Looking at the dark night sky and flickering lights outside, she suddenly realized she was hungry.

She considered ordering takeaway on her phone, but then she thought of Chen Jiayan’s culinary skills.

She licked her lips.

She missed him.

There was an unread message from Chen Jiayan on WeChat.

Xie Baola directly made a video call to him.

From the background behind him, it seemed he was still at his office.

Xie Baola frowned slightly, "Are you still busy?"

"Mhm."

Chen Jiayan, knowing Xie Baola was at the set, had decided to work overtime.

"Have you eaten?"

He stopped typing, picking up the phone he had placed to the side and pointing it at his face. Leaning back in his chair, his cool gaze looked at her through the screen, "You haven’t eaten either, have you?"
