Director Ding Zhi sounded a little excited. While Lu Zhen’s performance surprised him, it did not satisfy him. His perfectionist spirit had even become more extreme at this moment.

Lu Zhen was not very surprised by Director Ding Zhi’s reaction. Even though she had made huge improvements in her life, Director Ding Zhi’s attitude towards perfection would not change. Even if she performed well, Director Ding Zhi would ask her to do better.

“What do you think? Is there a problem?” Director Ding Zhi finally asked.

“I have no problem. I’ll do my best.” Lu Zhen looked up and said firmly.

The two of them returned to the set.

Before entering, Lu Zhen saw Xu Rui’s assistant flash past. She didn’t care. After entering, Lu Zhen tidied the creases on her cheongsam and slowly adjusted her mentality.

“Alright, let’s do it again. Everyone in the various departments, take your positions,” Director Ding Zhi shouted. The extras and staff on the scene moved to their positions.

The second filming went on as usual. Lu Zhen got out of the car again and had a short chat with the owner of the teahouse.

Xu Rui watched for a while and felt a little impatient. She was interested in watching Lu Zhen film this scene for the first time, but the second time was a little boring.

Xu Rui quietly asked her assistant, Mimi, “Did Director Ding Zhi scold Lu Zhen outside just now?

Xu Rui originally thought that Lu Zhen would walk in dejectedly after being scolded, but when Lu Zhen entered, her expression was no different from before.

Xu Rui’s lips curled up coldly.

Mimi looked at Xu Rui in confusion. “I don’t think he scolded her. They just chatted for a long time.”

Xu Rui frowned. He didn’t scold Lu Zhen? Then what could the two of them talk about after chatting for so long? It couldn’t be about what to eat tonight,

“I’m sure you didn’t see it.” Xu Rui glared at Mimi, who suddenly didn’t dare to speak.

This scene had been filmed a total of five times. Director Ding Zhi was like a lunatic who never knew how to be satisfied. No matter how Lu Zhen performed, he would let her do it again.

Lu Zhen was actually tired. She was wearing high heels and needed to focus on her role. This consumed her stamina and spirit very quickly. But she did not complain. There was no impatience or fatigue on her face. Every time, it was similar to the beginning.

Some of the layman extras at the scene could not understand. It was clearly the same every time, so why did they have to film it so many times?

Xi De, who had been watching from the side, noticed the difference.

Lu Zhen was only performing according to the same method, but the details of her every performance changed.

At first, Lu Zhen’s performance still had a hint of stiffness, but on the third time, she clearly entered the role faster. Her movements and gaze became more relaxed and casual, and there were no traces of her performance.

Lu Zhen also made adjustments to some of the gazes. Her performance became more delicate and natural.

The sky outside gradually darkened. When the last shot was completed, Director Ding Zhi finally shouted for everyone to stop. “Everyone, you did very well. This scene is over. Thank you for your hard work!”

Everyone heaved a long sigh of relief and revealed excited expressions.

Ding Zhi walked up to Lu Zhen and specially patted her shoulder. He said loudly, “Very good. You’ve worked hard. Go back and rest well.”

Ding Zhi’s actions surprised Lu Zhen. She had never been treated like this in her previous life.

With that, Ding Zhi left the set. Then, Xi De walked to Lu Zhen’s side. Ding Zhi’s actions just now also surprised Xi De. Xi De and Ding Zhi had worked together several times before, and he rarely saw Ding Zhi being so polite to the actors.

Lu Zhen greeted Xi De and looked around. She realized that Xu Rui was not around. It seemed that she had not returned after leaving.

“It seems like Director Ding Zhi is very satisfied with you. He specially encouraged you in front of everyone just now. He’s probably worried that others will blame you for filming too many times, or mistakenly think that you didn’t act well.” Xi De revealed a peaceful smile, and his sharp eyes softened a lot.

Only then did Lu Zhen understand Director Ding Zhi’s intentions. She was a little flattered. In her previous life, it was already good enough that Director Ding Zhi did not scold her. When had he been so considerate?

“Do you want to stay on set for dinner, or do you want to eat out?” Xi De asked as he looked outside.

Outside the door, the actors who were acting as the boss of the teahouse helped the staff distribute lunch boxes to the extras. Everyone was chatting loudly, and the atmosphere was quite lively..
