Xia Wei Liang rubbed her cheeks and signaled to Director Liu that they could continue.
Realizing what she had done, Zhang Miao Miao stared at her hands, then at the handprint on Xia Wei Liang's face, her eyes immediately turning red.
"Wei Liang..."
Xia Wei Liang smiled and patted her shoulder, "Keep your emotions, let's move on to the next scene."
Zhang Miao Miao had now realized she was deliberately provoked by her, but this slap wasn't in the script. However, her emotions had gotten the better of her, and she had done it without any restraint…
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
She apologized incessantly, filled with regret.
"What's there to be sorry about? It's truly letting down the staff if you keep NG-ing." Xia Wei Liang looked at her and said sincerely, "A Miao, you truly have talent. You have no idea how much I envy you."
If she were to call someone a naturally gifted player, it wouldn't be flattery at all.
It was pure, heartfelt jealousy! Su Dan Fiction Network
But what made her even angrier was that with talent, you still wasted it! Did you consider the feelings of us beauty-type players who are called vases?! Do you know how desperately we crave both beauty and skill!
Zhang Miao Miao stared blankly at her. When others told her she had talent, that she was born for this industry, she was initially flattered. Gradually, as she heard it so often, she started to believe it.
But when the same words came from Xia Wei Liang's mouth, she felt that even if she had talent, not working hard would be a great sin, a waste of heavenly gifts!
Zhang Miao Miao wiped her eyes, took a deep breath, and said "sorry" to the surrounding staff. She then signaled to Director Liu, "Director Liu, we can continue!"
Not far away, Xi En sat on a lounge chair, watching Zhang Miao Miao gradually get into character, as if she had transformed.
It wasn't that her acting skills had suddenly improved dramatically, but her entire attitude had changed. She became more positive, less afraid of making mistakes. Even though flaws remained, the artificiality in her performance decreased, making it easier for the audience to get invested.
He then looked at Xia Wei Liang. In such a short time, she could correct her scene partner's state and even draw her into the performance. Compared to a few months ago, she had made another leap.
As the fourth female lead, Xia Wei Liang's scenes were not extensive, but Director Liu, striving for perfection, had filmed continuously for over two months.
In May, "Sheng Guan Qiu" wrapped up, and the crew specially prepared a farewell banquet for her.
As soon as the Weibo photos were released, her fans, like hungry wolves who had been starved for a long time, praised her with "Sister looks so beautiful," while also teasing her, "Looking good doesn't stop us from mocking your acting." Usually, they wouldn't need anyone else to intervene; her own fans would handle it, and they wouldn't hold back!
Another year, another early summer. The second season of "Courage" officially began.
Before that, Xia Wei Liang unexpectedly received the "return gift" mentioned by Sixth Master.
If it weren't for Sixth Master's call, she would have completely forgotten about it.
"You... you acquired them..."
Xia Wei Liang sat in a private room at a club, staring blankly at the stranger opposite her.
The man was not old, had a regular appearance, and exuded great approachability, with naturally smiling eyes.
"Yes, all the documents are here. These are all family assets of the Xiao family. Sixth Master said he knew Old Man Xiao was making things difficult for Miss Xia, so he casually acquired a few companies for you to vent your anger."
How did she put it to Sixth Master?
Don't make it too valuable, keep it low-key, don't show off too much…
Excuse me, but sending her houses, a hotel, and a tea house – in what way could that be considered humble and unpretentious?!
"Grandpa might have misunderstood. I don't care at all whether the Xiao family looks down on me!"
"But Sixth Master cares."
The person opposite was Sixth Master's grandnephew and lawyer, Meng Xiu Yi.
He said with a smile, "Miss Xia is now Sixth Master's granddaughter, and she is our Meng family's precious daughter. Whoever dares to look down on Miss Xia is looking down on the Meng family."
"This..."
Xia Wei Liang had truly witnessed Sixth Master's ruthlessness in dealing with people and could imagine the old man's unyielding temper. She knew Sixth Master was formidable, but the Xiao family was not to be trifled with either. The same thought echoed: it really wasn't worth him antagonizing the Xiao family for her!
Knowing what she was thinking, Meng Xiu Yi smiled slightly. "Sixth Master's intention is that if Xiao De Ye ever begs you to marry him with a grand procession, he will stop. Otherwise, the Xiao family's assets will gradually all have the surname 'Xia'."
Xia Wei Liang gasped. Was he that domineering?!
