266: Nothing? You haven't seen enough, have you?

Because the longer he stayed by Chen Le's side, the clearer he became about Chen Le's true level.

He had improved a lot over the years and had learned much from Chen Le.

Similarly, he had made a lot of money during these few years.

Working under Chen Le, although it was tiring at times, it was worth it.

But the earnings were high, and there was little risk.

Basically, every movie Chen Le filmed became a hit.

With things being so stable, the risk of him going out to film on his own would be much greater.

Not to mention whether he could make money; if he happened to lose, all the money he'd earned over the years might be gone.

After all, a director needs to bear the consequences of a failed production.

On the other side, after Tong Liya finished filming her scene, she didn't wait for Zhao Sheng's instructions and returned first.

As soon as she got back, she saw Yang Mi.

Upon seeing her, a flash of joy appeared in her eyes.

She had thought Yang Mi wouldn't be coming this morning.

After all, when a couple meets, those who know, know.

Tong Liya didn't even care about the costume she was wearing and ran straight to Yang Mi's side.

“Mi Mi, you're finally here! Did you go to sleep very late last night? You only just arrived now.” Tong Liya looked at Yang Mi with a smile, her eyes full of teasing.

Hearing Tong Liya's teasing, Yang Mi's face suddenly turned red, and she pushed Tong Liya away with some embarrassed annoyance. “Yaya, you girl, don't talk nonsense. I went to sleep at 12 o'clock yesterday.”

Hearing this, Tong Liya's eyes widened. “You only went to sleep at 12 o'clock? You guys played for that long?”

Hearing Tong Liya's suggestive words, Yang Mi's face flushed intensely. She quickly covered Tong Liya's mouth and said with some shame and anger, “Stop talking nonsense! What would a single dog like you know?”

“Cough, cough.” Tong Liya broke free from Yang Mi's hand and coughed twice.

“Mi Mi, I'll stop, I'll stop. Let me go.” Tong Liya quickly begged for mercy.

Seeing this, Yang Mi said somewhat skeptically, “Fine. If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude to you.”

Only then did Yang Mi let go.

“Mi Mi, you're trying to murder your best friend.” Tong Liya said somewhat resentfully.

“Hmph, who told you to talk nonsense?” Yang Mi said with a slight blush and a bit of a tsundere attitude.

“I wasn't talking nonsense, it's not like I don't understand.” Tong Liya muttered softly.

Although her voice was small, Yang Mi still heard it.

However, since the voice wasn't loud, she chose to selectively ignore it.

Afterward, Yang Mi looked at Tong Liya, who was currently dressed in her costume.

“Yaya, why does this outfit make you look like a middle-aged auntie?” Yang Mi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Tong Liya's getup.

Hearing her words, Tong Liya's face flushed a deep red.

“Mi Mi, this is required for the filming.” Tong Liya explained with a red face.

“Haha, I know, but it really looks like it.” Yang Mi spoke while the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.

Hearing this, Tong Liya immediately felt her face burning.

There was no choice; this was required for the role.

In fact, even with this 'auntie' look, Tong Liya's beauty was still top-tier.

As the the most beautiful woman in chinatown, the title was well-deserved.

The segment they had just filmed was the part where Tang Ren takes Character to try and peek at this the most beautiful woman in chinatown while she's bathing.

“Hmph, Mi Mi, you're still mocking me. Don't blame me for exposing your secrets.” Seeing Yang Mi still laughing, Tong Liya spoke with great embarrassment and annoyance.

Seeing this, Yang Mi immediately wiped the smile off her face.

She then quickly waved her hands and said, “Alright, alright, Yaya, I'm not laughing anymore.”

She had only laughed just now to divert Tong Liya's attention so she wouldn't keep dwelling on her own business.

Now that the goal had been achieved, continuing to laugh would be more trouble than it's worth.

At this time, Chen Le was still looking at the footage on the monitor.

On the monitor.

Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran were squatting behind a wall where there was a gap between two wooden boards.

Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran were squatting there sneakily, peeking.

Liu Haoran peered through this small hole, wanting to see the scene behind it.

As a result, a basin of water was splashed over. Liu Haoran immediately took a step back and slumped onto the ground.

Clutching one eye, he began to cry out in pain.

At this moment, Tong Liya walked out from behind them.

Wang Baoqiang stood up and looked at Liu Haoran. Hearing the footsteps outside, he turned to Liu Haoran and spoke with a serious face: “You're so young and you don't learn good things. How could you learn to do something like this?”

At this time, Tong Liya walked up in front of them.

Seeing this, Liu Haoran quickly said, “I, I, I didn't...”

Before he could finish, Wang Baoqiang immediately interrupted him and asked, “What's nothing? You haven't seen enough, right?”

“Let me tell you, this time they splashed hot water; next time it'll be sulfuric acid.” As Wang Baoqiang spoke, he put on a disappointed look as if he were educating Liu Haoran.

Tong Liya glanced at Liu Haoran and asked, “Who are you?”

Liu Haoran answered somewhat stutteringly, “I, I, I'm his cou...”

Before he could finish, Wang Baoqiang followed up: “Cousin! He's my Younger Cousin!”

Then he looked at Liu Haoran with a smile: “Do you know who this beautiful, noble, and kind person is?”

As he spoke, he even pointed a finger at Liu Haoran.

“And yet you shamelessly peeked at her.”

“She is my landlady, the the most beautiful woman in chinatown, A Xiang.”

As Wang Baoqiang spoke, Tong Liya stood beside him with a flat expression, watching Wang Baoqiang's performance.

When Wang Baoqiang finished, Tong Liya asked with a calm face, “This is your cousin?”

Hearing this, Wang Baoqiang immediately walked over to Liu Haoran, hooked an arm around his shoulder, and said with a smile, “He's as handsome as me, right?”

Seeing this, Tong Liya swung the towel in her hand, snapped it once, and said crossly, “He's just as lecherous as you!”

Then, the segment ended.

After watching this part of the plot, Chen Le nodded.

“Not bad, nothing needs changing. Let's move on to the next scene.” Chen Le said with a smile after finishing.

“Alright, Director Chen.” Receiving Chen Le's praise, a smile appeared on Zhao Sheng's face.

Even though he was Chen Le's Senior Brother, in the director's circle, the accomplished one is the teacher; box office results are status, and they are ability.

Currently, those Great Directors in the circle might not have particularly good box office results for their recent movies, but their strength had already been proven in the past.

Now they weren't lacking money at all. Filming movies wasn't purely for money anymore, but more about pursuing good cinema.

Of course, there were plenty who smuggled in their own personal agendas.

After finishing his chat with Zhao Sheng, Chen Le came over to Yang Mi and Tong Liya's side and said with a smile, “Mi Mi, let's go. We need to change locations; we're done filming here.”

Hearing this, Yang Mi turned her head and nodded.

Beside her, Tong Liya also nodded upon hearing they were changing locations.

In her heart, she was also a bit surprised—had the segment she just filmed passed just like that?
