Chapter 40

Meng Ziyi Arrives!

Li Han sat behind the monitor, his eyes fixed on the scene on the screen, holding a walkie-talkie in his left hand and his right fingers lightly touching his lips.

There was one camera pointed at the two people's small feet in white socks, and another camera pointed at the two people on the bed.

At this moment, Li Yitong and Tian Xiwei were talking about the male and female leads in the drama.

The two were on the bed. Tian Xiwei was lying on her back, the sunlight shining on her chubby, snow-white face. She was pouting and talking to Li Yitong.

Li Yitong lay on her side, one hand supporting her head, smiling as she looked at Tian Xiwei, her long, black hair cascading down.

Li Yitong slowly sat up, gently tossed her hair, and stretched lazily, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

"Cut," Li Han called out.

"Cinematographer, put the camera down," Li Han said, turning his head.

A photography student carrying a backpack quickly stepped forward. Li Yitong, who was sitting on the bed, got up and stood aside. Tian Xiwei also got off the bed when she saw this.

The photographer went up and placed several small cameras in a few places on the bed, then quickly left the scene.

Tian Xiwei and Li Yitong then sat on the bed again. Tian Xiwei was lying down with her hands on her lower abdomen. She turned her head and glanced at the camera, blinking her big eyes.

Li Yitong sat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing her hair, which cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

This scene looked like it happened afterward, and Li Han thought it was perfect.

"Okay, cut. Makeup artist, touch up my makeup too." Li Han said, getting up. It was his turn for the next scene.

The assistant director took the walkie-talkie that Li Han handed him.

Hearing the call to stop, Li Yitong turned to look at Tian Xiwei, smiling with her eyes narrowed. Tian Xiwei looked at her in return, blinked her big eyes, and smiled.

She had just smelled a faint, refreshing fragrance on Sister Tong, a particularly sweet scent, somewhat reminiscent of oranges.

Yeah, Tong Jie has a lesbian vibe.

...In Shanghai, filming of "So Cute Us" is proceeding normally, while in Beijing, Meng Ziyi's variety show "Grade One," in which she previously participated, has officially started airing.

In her previous life, Meng Ziyi was heavily criticized because of the variety show "Grade One". At that time, Meng Ziyi had little popularity and little attention.

However, Meng Ziyi is quite different now. Thanks to that perfect ancient costume video, she has gained a large number of fans and now has the nickname of "ancient style beauty".

Recently, several ancient costume dramas were presented to Meng Ziyi, which made him extremely happy.

Hunan TV also keenly noticed the change in Meng Ziyi's popularity, and then decisively... chose to re-edit the video.

If there's no time to edit it or it's impossible to edit, then add some funny special effects and text in post-production. After all, Hunan TV is best at these kinds of silly special effects.

Therefore, after the official premiere of "Grade One", Meng Ziyi was not affected in any way. The historical event that originally affected Meng Ziyi was thus resolved.

In Meng Ziyi's villa, she was lying on the bed leisurely looking at her phone, scrolling through videos from Li Han's Douyin account about behind-the-scenes footage of their film crew.

'This guy's been pretty busy lately,' Meng Ziyi thought to herself, narrowing her eyes as she looked at the girl in the behind-the-scenes footage.

"So this is Tian Xiwei. She's actually quite cute."

After thinking about it, Meng Ziyi called her agent; she planned to visit the set...

Meanwhile, on the Shanghai set, during a meal, Li Han looked at Li Yitong beside him and licked his lips.

"sister……"

"Hmm?" Li Yitong looked up at Li Han, shook her head and tossed her hair.

"Do you want to sign with me?" Li Han suggested to Li Yitong.

Li Yitong chuckled upon hearing Li Han's words.

"Sign with your 'Li Han Studio'? But your studio doesn't even have an office, no secretary, assistant, agent, or anything like that," she joked.

"Haha." Hearing this, Tian Xiwei couldn't help but laugh as well.

Li Han glared at Tian Xiwei, annoyed. "What are you laughing at?"

"Sister Tong, don't sign with this guy's studio. The contract he offered me was still a 50/50 split," Tian Xiwei said with a snort, completely ignoring the boss's wife's situation.

"Hehe." Li Yitong chuckled with narrowed eyes but didn't say anything.

"Sis, I was just worried you wouldn't be comfortable staying with Xu Yiruo," Li Han said, licking his lips as he looked at Li Yitong.

"No, not at all. I'm the only artist under Sister Xu right now, and I'm quite comfortable working for her," Li Yitong said with a smile.

"You're just starting out, and Xiaotian is a complete newcomer. You probably won't have much start-up capital left after filming this drama."

"Besides, when you really get up, do you think you'll just ignore me and not care about me at all?" As she spoke, Li Yitong's eyes curved into crescent moons, giving off the air of a caring older sister.

"Heh, that's true." Li Han smiled, and seeing that Li Yitong didn't want to leave Xu Yiruo's place, he didn't say anything.

In the afternoon, during a break from filming, Li Yitong sat down and touched up her makeup.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang. She pursed her lips, put down the small mirror, picked up the phone, and glanced at it.

"Ziyi's call?" Li Yitong blinked, glanced up at Li Han not far away, and then answered the call.

"Ziyi".

"Yitong, are you filming?" Meng Ziyi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

The two began their relationship with Li Han and gradually became closer during the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"Yes, I'm here now," Li Yitong said.

"Is it at the Shanghai Theatre Academy or somewhere else?" Meng Ziyi asked.

"What?" Li Yitong was taken aback. Why are you asking this?

"I've arrived at the entrance of the Shanghai Theatre Academy," Meng Ziyi said.

At this moment, Meng Ziyi was standing at the entrance of the Shanghai Theatre Academy. She was wearing a sun hat, holding a phone in her right hand, and raising her left hand to shield her eyes from the sun, her eyes squinting.

"You're at the entrance of the Shanghai Theatre Academy!?" Li Yitong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.

"Why are you here?"

"I've come to visit the set," Meng Ziyi said in an innocent tone.

"..." Upon hearing this, Li Yitong was at a loss for words.

"You know about Li Han's situation in Shanghai, right?"

"I know, where are you now? Are you filming at school?" Meng Ziyi said directly.

"No, we're not at school, we're at..." Li Yitong shook her head and said.
