Song Jia’s slender fingers slid across the keyboard on the phone screen gloomily. After a long time, he took a deep breath and replied, “You didn’t disturb me, and I don’t blame you. You must be very tired today. Rest early.” “Alright, you too.” Lu Zhen sent a goodnight emoji and fell asleep in relief.

The next few days of filming went very smoothly. On the morning of the fourth day, there were two scenes of Lu Zhen and Xi De. The first scene was an intimate scene with some naked scenes.

It was obvious that Director Ding Zhi did not want to use a stand-in actor. He wanted Lu Zhen to go on stage herself, but in the end, he still called a stand-in actor over gloomily and asked the stand-in actor to finish filming the naked scenes.

Lu Zhen felt a little uneasy and secretly asked Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, why do you use a stand-in actor?”

Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Zhen in confusion. “Isn’t it good to use a stand-in actor? It saves you the embarrassment.”

Lu Zhen frowned. In her previous life, she had personally filmed this intimate scene. Director Ding Zhi had high standards for every scene. Some martial arts scenes did not like actors to use stunt doubles. Was she challenging Director Ding Zhi’s bottom line now?

“I guess President Song must have informed us in advance.” Xiaoxiao touched her chin and smiled. “President Song is really a good person.”

Song Jia? Lu Zhen frowned, feeling depressed. She took out her phone and quickly sent a message to Song Jia. “President Song, did you ask Director Ding Zhi to use a stand-in actor in the nude scenes related to me?

After a while, the other party replied, “Yes.”

Lu Zhen’s fingers stiffened. She took a deep breath and asked, “Why?”

Why? Song Jia didn’t understand why Lu Zhen would ask such a question. He wanted to protect her. Wasn’t that good? Since there were stuntmen in nude scenes, it meant that it was reasonable to use stuntmen. As the investor, why couldn’t he let Ding Zhi use a stuntman?

“There’s no reason. I’m doing this for your own good.” Song Jia typed this message and hesitated for a moment before sending it.

This sounded like a warning from a parent who liked to control their child’s behavior. Perhaps Lu Zhen would feel uncomfortable, but Song Jia did think so. She had suffered so much before she met him. Now that he was by her side, he could back her up. Why did she still ask?

Seeing Song Jia’s message, Lu Zhen’s fingertips turned cold and she felt aggrieved. Wasn’t the reason why Song Jia made such an arrangement because he felt that it was bad for her to film nude scenes? At the end of the day, he looked down on her work, right?

“Sister Zhenzhen, what’s wrong?” Xiaoxiao was shocked when she saw that Lu Zhen’s head was lowered and her eyes seemed to be red.

Lu Zhen sniffed and put away her phone. “It’s fine.” A moment later, Lu Zhen walked to Director Ding Zhi’s side. Director Ding Zhi saw her from the corner of his eye but did not turn around. He continued to look at the monitor. After filming a scene, Lu Zhen leaned closer to Director Ding Zhi. “Director, I’ll do it myself. I don’t need a stand-in actor.”

Ding Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He looked up in surprise. At this moment, the corners of Lu Zhen’s eyes were still a little red, as if she had been wronged, but her eyes revealed a trace of stubbornness.

“We’re done. Go and prepare for the few close-up shots we’re going to shoot later. Find the state and try your best to be engrossed.” Director Ding Zhi looked at Lu Zhen with a complicated expression. He probably did not expect Lu Zhen to take the initiative to say that she did not need a stand-in actor.

However, Lu Zhen said that she did not need a stand-in actor, but he could not really do that.

The investors had already said in advance that Lu Zhen could only use a stand-in actor for her nude scenes. As a director. if he offended the investors, he might not even be able to distribute the money in the post-production.

Director Ding Zhi was afraid of the investors withdrawing their investments before filming started, so he was not so tough now.

Fortunately, it was not completely intolerable for him to use a stand-in actor for bare scenes. The investor had only interfered in this matter during the filming. No matter what, he had to give the investor some face.

Hearing Ding Zhi’s words, Lu Zhen lowered her head in silence and turned to leave.

Lu Zhen found a place with no one around and sat behind the wooden door in a daze with the script. Suddenly, she heard Xu Rui’s laughter coming from the corridor outside. “I’m also a little worried about tomorrow’s action scene. After all, we’re not like some people who can use substitutes.” “Lower your voice,” the male lead, Wu Dai, reminded..
