Chapter 99: Exposed!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Half an hour later, Hao Gou finally arrived.
Hao Gou had been in the industry for more than 20 years and was used to the cold and harsh nature of the entertainment industry.
Among all the big companies, Blue Whale Entertainment was the leading agency.
Hao Gou was lucky enough to be chosen by the CEO to coach one of their artists, so he had to perform well!
When he met Pei Huai at the door, Hao Gou smiled brightly, “CEO Pei!”
“She is already inside.” Pei Huai had just finished his meeting.
“Are you going to watch the class today?”
“Yes,” Pei Huai nodded slightly.
Hao Gou was instantly extremely nervous, “don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
The two of them entered the room. Someone was doing a split on the ground and playing with her mobile phone.
Actually, she wasn’t playing on her phone. She was dealing with the orders for medicinal herbs.
“Hello, I’m your acting coach, my name is Yan…”
“Mr. Hao Gou?”
Su Ji raised her head and met Hao Gou’s gaze.
It seemed like her credits were saved.
Hao Gou was dumbfounded.
He might not recognize all the students in his class, but he definitely remembered Su Ji.
“Su Ji?” Hao Gou looked at Su Ji, then at Pei Huai. Is she the one you asked me to coach? ”
“You two know each other?” Pei Huai asked with both hands in his pockets.
“I’m her teacher,” Hao Gou said with an embarrassed smile, “we met in class before.”
He was already teaching for free, but Pei Huai had spent a huge sum of money to hire him.
However, Pei Huai did not mind, “that’s even better. You should be familiar with each other then.”
Su Ji summarized Hao Gou’s personality in one simple sentence, “he’s particularly sharp-tongued.”
Pei Huai was speechless.
His gaze shot towards Hao Gou.
Hao Gou: “um…it’s so that they are motivated to improve themselves. Don’t worry CEO Pei, I remember Su Ji. She’s the most intelligent student in this batch! I won’t be mean to her!”
“That’s good then.” Pei Huai nodded.
It was Mr. Hao Gou’s first private lesson. He planned to find out Su Ji’s strengths and weaknesses first.
He asked Su Ji to act out one of the few scenes he prepared..
Even with Pei Huai around, Su Ji did not hold back.
Hao Gou said to Pei Huai, “you should have seen the way she portrayed a demon concubine. She did it very well.”
“Really?” Pei Huai chuckled affectionately.
Su Ji learnt fast. Soon, Hao Gou found that she was very good at tough and emotional scenes, but delicate micro-expressions were her shortcomings.
Su Ji was similar to Pei Huai. She usually had a stoic face, and even when she smiled, it was mostly a cold smile.
Hao Gou was definitely a professional when it came to acting.
He immediately decided to let Su Ji practice smiling.
Coincidentally, Su Ji had read the MV’s script. She was going to shoot the scene in a few days. The last scene was in a hospital ward. Before Si Jingchuan would leave the room, Su Ji was supposed to smile at him.
This shot was particularly important as it would showcase her beauty and convey the emotion of a farewell scene.
If she mastered the smile, not only would it improve her acting skills, it would also be very helpful for the shoot.
“Action!”
Su Ji turned around and smiled.
The requirement was that the smile must be bright, warm, and of a person who had her first love.
A;though Su Ji’s smile was beautiful, Hao Gou’s back was wet.
That gaze, that expression, looked like she was threatening him!
He instantly felt as if a great disaster was about to befall him.
Hao Gou thought that maybe he was the problem.
He rubbed his hands and asked Pei Huai, “CEO Pei, can you stand there and be the male lead? You don’t have to do anything, just wait for her to turn around.”
This way, it was easier for him to observe Su Ji’s micro-expression.
Pei Huai slowly raised his head, showing a strong interest in his proposal.
He stood up elegantly and slid his phone into his pocket.
Hao Gou arranged their positions.
He stood behind Su Ji, with his back to the French window.
Su Ji closed her eyes and remembered what Hao Gou said.
After a two second pause.
Su Ji turned around.
She seemed to turn her head casually, but Pei Huai saw a light in her eyes.
Su Ji first looked at him, and a second later, her lips curved into a smile.
When she smiled, her eyes naturally curved up.
Pei Huai’s body stiffened. A few images flashed past his eyes, but they didn’t seem to belong to his memory.
He didn’t know if Su Ji was in character, but he was!
“You’re better than before, but your smile is still too seductive. What we want is the kind of smile that is pure, that makes others want to protect you…”
So she had to smile like a pretentious b*tch?
Su Ji clenched her fists, resisting the urge to punch Hao Gou.
This was all for the sake of art, and with it, her little wallet would also fatten up!
Then, she turned around and smiled as gently as she could.
Pei Huai’s palms, which were in his pockets, were sweating slightly.
“It’s still lacking something, try…”
Again.
And again.
Another hour passed.
Hao Gou was still striving for perfection.
Just as he mentioned that he wanted to try for the 20th time, Pei Huai, whose forehead was covered in sweat, finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
“It’s good enough.”
“Huh?”
Pei Huai’s jaw ws tense as he pursed his dry lips without a change in expression, “I think it’s already very good.”
He was already seduced.
Su Ji’s mood was a little better after receiving the affirmation.
Hao Gou wanted to try again, but when he saw that the boss’ neck was red, he guessed that he was tired.
“Alright, Su Ji, you’ve actually improved a lot since the beginning. Let me just…”
Pei Huai received a call from Shen Mu.
He thought that he was calling about work, but when he picked up the phone, Shen Mu said, “boss! Someone is investigating Old Master Pei!”
Pei Qingshen had already retired from the business world for many years, so Pei Huai was confused, “what do you mean?”
“‘Sunset lover’ is about to be exposed!”
