Chapter 168

The sound of that word, it was like receiving a get-out-of-hell-free card . Lin Shiyi secretly let out a sigh of relief, and the stiffness in her whole body instantly released itself . Her legs gave way, and she leaned on the table at the back of the café .

This was definitely the worst nightmare of her acting career .

Just as Lin Shiyi thought her nightmare was over, a cold voice came from beyond . “Sun Zheng, since when has your standards become low?”

Sun Zheng was the director’s name .

The director had put all of his focus just now on filming, so he hadn’t noticed when Lu Jinnian had arrived on set . After he heard Lu Jinnian’s abrupt words, his head turned towards the direction of his voice . He looked over to find Lu Jinnian’s frosty expression where he nearby with his eyes blankly sweeping over the three women on set . He walked over to where the monitor was .

Qiao Anhao also hadn’t noticed Lu Jinnian . Her body instinctively stiffened when she suddenly heard his voice . She sneaked a glance at him before slightly lowering her head, standing cautiously in her spot without moving .

In contrast to her, Song Xiangsi, who stood beside her, looked like she was enjoying the drama of it all . Excitement radiated from her eyes as she looked at Lu Jinnian whilst holding in her laughter .

Just when Lin Shiyi could finally relax after much difficulty, her performance was ruthlessly brought up again .

Everyone on set focused on Lu Jinnian .

Seeing him walk over, the director immediately called out, “Mr . Lu . “

Without wasting time, Lu Jinnian headed straight for the monitor . He reached out and pressed it, replaying the scene that was just shot . His expression grew even colder . He raised his hand and pointed to the screen .

He said to the director in freezing voice, “Lin Shiyi’s acting skills are crap, why you never mentioned it before? I didn’t put so much money into this TV series for you to fool the audience . You’re blatantly insulting the audience’s intelligence! Anyone off the street can act better than her!”

Lu Jinnian didn’t hold back with his harsh and direct words . Though he wasn’t loud, his voice discreetly reached every corner .

Lin Shiyi’s face instantly turned pale, left without a single trace of blood .

The people present couldn’t help but secretly draw in their breaths .

Those words were quite ruthless . . . Regardless of what was on screen, Lin Shiyi still had years under her belt of being a celebrity female star, so to be criticized as worthless by Lu Jinnian . . .

The director broke a sweat, chuckling uncomfortably . He said a few words to play up to Lu Jinnian, “So, Mr . Lu, how about this, we’ll continue to TV series and let Lin Shiyi compose herself before we re-shoot?”
