Wei Sama, Let's Stuff Them With Dog Food[1]

40. Confession

Qi Le An had a tight schedule the next day, Wei Chang Feng did the responsible thing and called an early night, he put the coin basket by a machine as a surprise for someone who found it later.

Qi Le An slept like a baby that night, he awoke feeling rested and refreshed the next morning.

Chen Shan noticed that when he packed some breakfast and delivered to Qi Le An’s room, “Someone is in a good mood today.”

“I had such a goodnight’s sleep last night”, Qi Le An buttoned his shirt and pointed to the breakfast on the table, “And I’m about to enjoy a nice breakfast thanks to my Chen Ge.”

Chen Shan didn’t buy that answer, he just hurried Qi Le An, “All right, An, just eat your food.”

The two arrived at the set pretty early while Sang Jia Yi certainly took her time getting there, but no one had said anything, because she wasn’t exactly late.

The art director had set up the studio for Qi Le An and Sang Jia Yi’s scenes that night before. The first scene was Cheng who was supposed to do his homework by the desk kept peeking at Susan who lived across the hall.

Then Cheng’s sister, Hua, noticed that when she served Cheng some fruits, Hua stopped Cheng from doing that and gave him a lecture about proper behaviors.

Cheng refused to be lectured, he took some fruits from the plate and ran away.

It wasn’t a particular complicated scene, and Sang Jia Yi got to get her makeup done while Qi Le An was shooting the scene of peeking and running away.

Sang Jia Yi entered the studio when Qi Le An’s part was done, Director Chen elaborated on how Sang Jia Yi should do her blocking and speak her lines.

Sang Jia Yi listened attentively and nodded along from time to time, however, Qi Le An had immediately noticed that Sang Jia Yi was still Sang Jia Yi in front of the camera, she was no Hua!

Flow was so important in film shooting, Qi Le An’s rhythm was completely disrupted by his opposite actor, neither of them had really delivered. Director Chen got so upset, “What’s going on with you two? Cut!”

Sang Jia Yi looked like she was trying, but she was doing a shitty job on purpose to affect Qi Le An’s performance.

“Neither of you can deliver without Wei Chang Feng? Shall I call him right now and ask him to spoon feed you two?” Director Chen flared up.

This was the first time that Director Chen had lost his temper in the past week, he looked so mad.

“Sang Jia Yi, this is enough, you can start packing now if you carry on like this!”

Of course Director Chen could tell Sang Jia Yi was playing her petty little tricks, Sang Jia Yi turned pale with fear when she was called out.

Sang Jia Yi started to take it seriously on the second take, but still it took them about four hours to finish the simple scene. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when Director Chen said ‘okay, next scene’.

Chen Shan pulled Qi Le An aside when they got ready for the next scene, “What happened? Is she giving you a hard time?”

“I’m not sure”, Qi Le An shrugged, “Director Chen has scolded her as well.”

Chen Shan frowned.

Seeing that, Qi Le An changed the subject, “Chen Ge, I’m starving now, please get me a big lunch later.”

Chen Shan nodded.

Qi Le An walked back to the studio after he got changed, he looked around and walked to Sang Jia Yi, “Jia Yi Jie.”
