LTPC Chapter 49: Tsundere Director

“I’m not going to shoot the scenes today. You do it.”

Gu Tingchuan’s face was calm when he said this sentence but every word that fell into the ears of his crew was like a bomb, stunning them. 

There was a sudden silence.

Su Congwen didn't expect that he would suddenly be played like this. He looked at the other person with a stiff face. “Gu, Director Gu, what do you mean…”

“There are some important scenes that needed to be filmed today. You should know that I don’t support people who don’t pull their weight. Since you think that the tasks Lu Shan wants you to do will only bury your talents and you think you can do better than me, it’s better to let you take over from here.” 

After Gu Tingchuan said this, he really stood up and gave him the director’s seat in front of the monitor. He told Lu Shan in a calm tone, “You assist Director Su to finish up the remaining few shots today. I'll return back to the hotel.”

At first, Su Congwen thought that Gu Tingchuan deliberately gave him power but only wanted him to apologize in public and lower his spirits. However, he didn't expect that Director Gu would not give him a chance at all. After gesturing to Xiao Zhao to pack up, he immediately left. 

Su Congwen stood completely dumbfounded as he watched Gu Tingchuan’s indifferent figure disappeared down the road.

However, he wasn’t the only one who was surprised. Lu Shan had been following the man for so many years and now he strongly felt that since Director Gu got married, his temper seemed to have changed a lot.

In the past, Gu Tingchuan would have been furious and would have kicked the person out of the crew without any hesitation. But, since he had married Yi Ran, his temper had noticeably improved.

However, he knew that the boss always had his own reasons for doing things. He glanced at Su Congwen, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, “Okay, Director Su, the actors are already in place. Can we shoot?”

Su Congwen was actually a slacker. After spending a lot of money and studying abroad for a few years, his knowledge of film making was actually very basic. 

He panicked and looked at the records, props, and lights around him...and especially at those who regarded Gu Tingchuan as a male god in their heart and questioning him to varying degrees.

Su Congwen had a burning anger in his chest. Since he was a child, everything had revolved around him. When had he suffered such a loss? That Gu Tingchuan thought that he was something and gave him no face. If he wanted him to shoot, then he’ll shoot. He won’t lose to such a man!

He sneered and, pretending to sit confidently on Gu Tingchuan’s seat, he raised his chin and looked at Lu Shan. “Let’s start with a medium shot, with head-up, this...Are the actors ready?”

Lu Shan frowned slightly. “Isn’t head-up too common? Looking up and down would be better.”

Su Congwen immediately became embarrassed and angry. “What are you doing? Your director asked you to assist me, not for you to correct me. If Gu Tingchuan is here now, would you talk to him like this?”
