“Let go! Help! It’s a ghost...”

Lu Jingtian panically raised her hand and slapped Yun Na’s face to pry herself loose. As she frantically limped and pulled herself toward the exit, she bumped head-on into Jin Yu, who had returned after calling for an ambulance.

The latter saw her frightened look and asked in bewilderment, “What happened?”

“Quickly send me to the hospital; hurry!”

Jin Yu found her behavior strange but did not probe further.

Some things were better left unknown.

...

The castle-like retro dining hall, with its exquisite frescoes and hollow dome between carved beams, gave one the illusion of being in a lavish palace.

Once the guests of honor finished giving their opening speeches, it was time for the dance.

The soothing classical music pervaded the air of the spacious hall.

After an eventful start, Han Yuyan and Yang Mi learned to behave themselves.

They were experienced actresses and knew the importance of doing the right thing at the right time, so they did not try to find faults with Yun Shishi again.

Lin Fengtian was late, though once he arrived, he was quickly surrounded by actresses with their curtsies and wine, hoping to get him to notice them.

He had to expend much effort into returning their favor, which ended up spoiling his good mood.

However, when he saw Gu Xingze gracefully approaching him with Yun Shishi, he was elated and could not stop praising, “Shishi, oh, god. You look stunning tonight!”

The two producers and assistant director that were standing behind him also lavished her with praises.

“Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Director Lin! Producer Li, Director Meng, how are you?” she reciprocated with a smile and calmly asked.

“Miss Yun, you still remember our names!” Producer Li was evidently surprised and pleased.

“You were present with Director Meng during the audition, and it is common courtesy to remember the name of the judges.”

Director Meng smilingly said, “Director Lin, you have good taste! This newcomer is humble and polite. With her beauty and talents, she’ll have a bright future ahead of her!”

“Of course; when have I ever disappointed you with my choices?” he asked back, looking smug.

Gu Xingze was smiling, too. “Shishi is a polite girl. This is what I like about her as well.”

This is what I like about her, too.

Her cheeks flushed red upon hearing that for no apparent reason.

“That’s right! This is praiseworthy, indeed. There are some newcomers who are proud and rude just because they have a good background.” Director Meng changed the subject suddenly. “I have to warn you, Miss Yun, though; you must be mentally prepared for Director Lin. He can be very critical and demanding at times. Before Han Yuyan gained fame, when she debuted in his first film, he made her cry with his scolding. He is known as the Demon Director in this industry, and many starlets have been badly criticized by him in the past.”

Gu Xingze also shook his head, admitting ruefully, “Yes, I’ve been scolded by him before, too.”

“Oh?” She was really surprised to hear that. “Xingze, your acting is consistently good.”

He could only smile wryly at that.

Director Meng interjected with a chuckle. “That was when Xingze was still relatively new in the show business. He missed a cue during filming, and he got it from Director Lin after that.”

Lin Fengtian snorted. “He should be thankful that he met me; that’s why he is so popular now.”

“Director Lin is demanding because he respects his career. It is necessary to be demanding to your actors in order to produce a good movie,” she commented.
