"Alright! Everyone performed well in this scene. Now, take a half-hour break, and then we'll continue with the next scene!"

At that moment, within the film crew, as the director's words fell, all the actors breathed a sigh of relief!

Then, the director turned his gaze to the supporting actress and said:

"Xiaocui, your performance in this scene was very good! Remember to act like this in the next scene, you can definitely do it!"

When the director spoke, his eyes were full of smiles, for it was the first time in his many years as a director that he had seen such a spiritually endowed actress!

No matter the scene, Xiaocui could quickly get into character and perform exceptionally well!

At this moment, not only the director but also the other actors and crew members were all giving Xiaocui kind smiles. They felt that this seemingly delicate girl would surely shine brightly in the future!

Xiaocui's face was filled with joy. She bowed to the director and the surrounding actors before she turned to a glamorous woman walking towards the edge of the set and hurriedly said:

"Sister Xiao Qiang, could you give me your autograph? I used to be your fan, and I'm really happy to be working with you this time!"

Xiaocui's gaze toward the glamorous woman was full of excitement. The woman was the top star Xiao Qiang, who had long been dubbed the Goddess of Hong Kong, though her goddess-like aura had slowly faded. Although she still ranked among the top actresses, she was now considered a past-her-prime star!

Xiao Qiang and Xiaocui both belonged to Crown Entertainment. The company had Xiao Qiang play the leading role in this film, hoping for her to make a comeback!

Xiao Qiang was in her thirties, her face heavily made-up, looking glamorous and svelte, but with slightly tilted eyes, she appeared rather harsh!

Glancing briefly at the pen and paper Xiaocui handed her, Xiao Qiang's eyes flashed with disgust, then she turned her head and walked straight to the edge of the set!

Seeing that the other party ignored her completely, Xiaocui's expression dimmed slightly, but then she shook her head, walked toward the edge of the set, and her face brightened with a charming smile:

"Brother Ye Feng!"

On set, Xiaocui cheerfully ran over to Ye Feng and sat down beside him!

Ye Feng smiled and handed her a bottle of mineral water, "Girl, I didn't expect you to really have a talent for acting! Well done, you truly have the makings of a future best actress!"

Ye Feng was extremely surprised; this was the first scene of Xiaocui's he had seen, but her acting had greatly exceeded his expectations!

Portraying the character to the finest detail and exhibiting her own unique flair, this was undoubtedly the most important talent needed to become a good actress!

Hearing Ye Feng praise her, Xiaocui's smile was exceptionally radiant, as sweet as if she had tasted a bottle of honey!

While Ye Feng and Xiaocui were talking, on the other side of the set, Xiao Qiang sat down in a chair, took off her dazzling earrings, and angrily slammed them down on the table with a scowl on her face!

"Huh? What's wrong with our lead actress today? Why is she so unhappy on the first day of shooting?"

That moment, noticing Xiao Qiang's angry demeanor, a muscular man came by!

This man's muscles were well-defined, with a striking six-pack that looked intimidating, and his build was robust, his appearance commanding, just like Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson, extremely formidable!

Now, this man with two cups of latte sat down next to Xiao Qiang and handed her one:

"Who upset our goddess? Tell me, I'll take care of him!"

This man was Qiao Yifu, the current top action star in Hong Kong and the male lead in this film!

Qiao Yifu hailed from a prestigious background, the fiercest action star in the film industry. He was initially a champion in Sanda, and many of Hong Kong's classic action movies nowadays starred him as the lead actor!

Everyone knew that Qiao Yifu truly had real skill, specializing in Hung Kuen. Tie Sankui, the master of Hong Kong Hung Kuen, was Qiao Yifu's mentor!

Moreover, Qiao Yifu was not only skilled in martial arts, but also handsome and charming. He had a close personal relationship with Xiao Qiang, and there were even many rumors about them!

Xiao Qiang took the latte, sipped it gently, but the anger on her pretty face still hadn't subsided:

"Who else could it be? It's that little bitch who suddenly popped up!"

Huh?

Qiao Yifu was startled. The one who had suddenly appeared was naturally the second female lead, Xiao Cui, whose role had just been decided yesterday. However, this newcomer had somehow offended Xiao Qiang:

"Why are you mad at her? You're the lead actress, and she's a supporting actress. Doesn't she still have to follow your lead?"

"Follow my lead?" Xiao Qiang sneered coldly, her expression filled with jealousy and spite:

"That little bitch may be a newcomer, but her acting is too good. She's practically stealing the show from me! Didn't you see earlier? If someone didn't know better, they would definitely think she's the lead actress!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yifu fell silent!

He had also seen it earlier. Xiao Cui's acting was indeed great. Although slightly raw, it was extremely brilliant and had even overshadowed Xiao Qiang, the lead actress!

Although Xiao Qiang had acted for many years, she lacked a spiritual essence, and her performances seemed somewhat artificial and stiff!

"Hmpf! This can't continue, Yifu. You know, my status in the company is declining day by day. President Fei finally managed to secure this role for me, which could be my big comeback. I absolutely can't let that little bitch ruin it!"

The name President Fei made Qiao Yifu's gaze flicker slightly.

There were rumors about his and Xiao Qiang's scandal, but only Qiao Yifu and the artists under Crown Entertainment knew that Xiao Qiang was actually President Fei's secret lover. Many artists wanted to latch onto President Fei's influence and were fawning over Xiao Qiang, including him, Qiao Yifu:

"Sister Qiang, do you know the background of that girl?"

"Background?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiang's expression of disdain and contempt grew even thicker:

"I heard she used to be a bit player. This time she must have hooked up with one of our company's executives to be directly chosen as the second female lead! Hmph! What an shameless bitch!"

The company's executives?

Hearing this, Qiao Yifu relaxed slightly. What about executives when President Fei is the CEO of Crown Entertainment, holding the power to ban many artists. Which executive could be more capable than President Fei!

Thinking this, Qiao Yifu gave Xiao Qiang a slight smile:

"Don't worry, Sister Qiang. I'll go and warn that Xiao Cui right now, I promise she won't steal any scenes from you!"

With that, Qiao Yifu stood up and walked towards the place where Xiao Cui and Ye Feng were!

Ye Feng, who had been chatting and laughing with Xiao Cui, was slightly startled when he saw Qiao Yifu coming straight towards him!

"Are you Xiao Cui?" Qiao Yifu approached the two, his eyes glancing sideways at Xiao Cui with a hint of arrogance in his expression!

Xiao Cui was startled and stood up, nodding her head:

"I'm Xiao Cui. Please take good care of me, senior!"

Xiao Cui respected the veterans in the entertainment circle, but seeing this, Qiao Yifu's look of disdain and pride grew even more intense:

"Alright! You don't need to be so pretentious. In this scene, you don't need to act!"
