Chapter 67: Punishment

The curtains swayed gently in the wind. Zhang Yan was so excited that he swallowed his saliva. When he thought about how he was about to touch and kiss those slender legs, he could not help it…

Director Zheng stared at the monitor and instructed the cameraman to push the camera forward. Everyone in the studio held their breaths and immersed themselves in the filming of the scene.

The moment Zhang Yan tried to attack Jiang Zhi, she suddenly flipped over, grabbed the dagger hidden under the pillow, and stabbed at him…

According to the plot, the male lead had indeed wanted to press the maid under him.

However, Jiang Zhi deliberately bent her knees and kicked Zhang Yan between his legs where the camera could not see. He was in so much pain that his eyes were wide open, and he was so angry that he wanted to take revenge on Jiang Zhi!

“Go to hell!”

Jiang Zhi nimbly dodged, read the lines, and swung the dagger down!

Director Zheng held his breath as he looked at the camera. He felt that the valor of the character seemed to penetrate the screen, so stunningly that he did not stop!

The camera continued to operate. Zhang Yan could only continue to act. He secretly covered his stomach to hide the embarrassment in his eyes!

“Cut! Very good!”

Director Zheng finally stopped. Not only did Zhang Yan not get the upper hand, he was beaten up instead.

He ran to Director Zheng’s side without caring about his dignity. He pointed at the monitor and said, “She did not act according to the script at all. She even plotted against me! This is considered revenge. She is not responsible for the crew. This needs to be reshot. I am not satisfied!”

The staff and makeup artist: “…How Shameless!”

Lu Mian took off his coat and draped it over Jiang Zhi’s body.

Jiang Zhi sat beside Director Zheng with a cup of hot ginger tea in her hands. She pointed at the lines marked out in the script and said softly, “Actually, the logic of the original plot is contradictory.

“The maid is resistant, resentful, and even strongly disgusted by his emotions.

“She is loyal to the female lead. She was afraid that the female lead would be in danger, so she took the risk of being a substitute to assassinate the male lead. How could she be willing to have casual sex with him and not resist at all? If we shoot according to the original plot, I’m afraid that it will bring about a bad sensory experience and psychological impact on the teenagers and the audience…”

Jiang Zhi threw out a new point of view and reinterpreted the role, gaining Director Zheng’s approval.

She pretended to mention it casually. “Recently, the higher-ups have been strictly investigating the movies and plots of people with improper views. Director, I don’t think you’re willing to take the risk because of one scene affecting the entire work, right? It’s better to be safe.”

Director Zheng thought of the red-headed document he received during the conference call and immediately felt his heart skip a beat. He quickly nodded and said, “Yes!”

“Keep this part of the shoot. There’s no need to shoot anymore!”

Zhang Yan was indignant and wanted to argue further. However, director Zheng waved his hand and said, “You’ve finished shooting today’s scenes. Go back and rest!”

He was so angry that he could only slam the door and leave.

Jiang Zhi returned to the waiting room and changed out of her costume.

The costume designer secretly gave her a thumbs up and said in a low voice, “Zhang Yan often uses his role as the male lead to take advantage of the beautiful female co-stars on the set. They can only silently endure it for fear of losing their jobs. You can consider yourself to have avenged them today!

“There will definitely be a period of time when he wouldn’t dare to, and he can’t harass everyone anymore…”

Jiang Zhi did not expect Zhang Yan’s morals to be so bad. She changed back into her own clothes and said, “No matter where you are, you have to find a way to return the bullying to them instead of silently enduring it. This will only encourage them.”

The makeup artist nodded heavily and watched her leave in admiration.

Jiang Zhi was in a good mood. She looked at the lights on the set that had already been turned off and looked for Lu Mian’s figure.

She saw the man standing under the rocker-arm camera and quietly walked over. However, she suddenly realized that Lu Mian was staring at Zhang Yan with an extremely cold gaze!

There seemed to be a murderous intent hidden in that gaze, which made her hair stand on end.

Lu Mian felt the gaze behind him. He turned around and changed into the kind of obedient and gentle gaze that she was familiar with. He asked, “You’re here?”

Jiang Zhi hid her surprise and walked to the RV with him.

The night was cold. Jiang Zhi wrapped her cloak tightly and hid behind Lu Mian. She asked, “Where do you want to eat?”

“Chinese food, French food, Japanese food, Korean barbecue?”

Jiang Zhi lowered her head and kicked the gravel on the grassland. She asked in a relaxed tone.

Lu Mian saw that she was trembling. He took off his coat and held her in his arms. The two of them walked like conjoined twins. He lowered his head and gently pressed his chin against her hair. He said with an inexplicable peace of mind, “As long as I’m with you, I’ll eat anything…”

“The most important thing is that the person beside me is you.”

Lu Mian’s voice was extremely low as if he had caught a cold with a nasal tone. When he said this, his chest was trembling, causing Jiang Zhi’s heart to tremble as well.
