Chapter 296 - 296 Su Cunyi is Back in the Game
296 Su Cunyi is Back in the Game
Hearing Su Ji’s words, Han Junlei’s eyes were filled with worry.
He had seen Su Ji act as a villain, fight, provoke others, and even look at Sonpashan seductively. However, he had never seen Su Ji act out a crying scene.
Bai Yueguang had always had a tough image in the film, but it was precisely because of this that the crying scene near the end was particularly important.
It was a catharsis and sublimation of her emotions.
How miserable could a beautiful and strong person be? Anyone who had fallen into the deepest pit knew.
In the first eleven episodes, Bai Yueguang had already demonstrated beauty and strength to the extreme.
Her family’s bankruptcy and the bullying by her stepmother and step-brother were just the foreshadowing of tragedy, and this week’s crying scene was the real demonstration of tragedy!
If she acted it well, the role of Bai Yueguang would pierce the hearts of the audience, and the netizens would not be able to forget the scene for at least three years.
Any newbie with superb acting skills and potential would be associated with Su Ji.
However, if she did not act well, Bai Yueguang’s image would diminish. “The Billions Stars” would still be popular, but the quality would be far worse.
Han Junlei knew that Su Ji was weak in romantic scenes. Si Jingchuan was carrying the few romantic scenes between Bai Yueguang and Gu Shen.
However, this crying scene was different. It was just her and a photo of her late father, so no one could help her.
Si Jingchuan gave her some encouragement, “boss, don’t worry. You can definitely do it.”
However, Xu Ni suspected that Su Ji had never cried before.
Su Ji herself thought she’d be fine.
She never cried before?
What a joke. Of course, she had.

Anyway, Han Junlei moved the crying scene to the day after and filmed the other parts first.
The shoot went smoothly, especially Su Ji’s expression when she grabbed the detective’s collar. It was exciting.
However, the more energetic she was, the more worried the others were about the crying scene tomorrow.
This boss probably only knows how to make others cry, right?
After filming another night scene, Han Junlei made the final decision, “you’ve worked hard. That’s all for today. We’ll meet at 6:30 tomorrow!”
It was almost the new year, and there were only three days of filming this week.
Everyone was in no hurry to leave.
In the past, when they heard that, they immediately became students who just heard the school bell. Today, however, they took their time. They carefully checked the equipment and watched the playback.
Huang Huayu happily went to the room next door to answer a phone call, but when he came back, he was frowning.
Han Junlei looked away from the monitor screen, “what’s wrong?”
“Ah, it’s not that serious,” Huang Huayu frowned. At the same time, his phone rang a few times. He showed it to Han Junlei, “Director Han, look at the photo of Bai Yueguang’s father. It’s so bad. Who would be able to act properly looking at this?”
Han Junlei took a glance. It was indeed a terrible photo. “Let’s just make a new one.”
Huang Huayu sighed.
Su Ji’s gaze swept over them, and she left after saying her goodbyes.

When she reached home at around 9 o’clock, Su Ji saw Pei Huai and Su Cunyi barbecuing next door.
There were Wagyu, lettuce, and some seafood.
When Su Ji got out of the car, Uncle He was just putting the food down.
When he saw Su Ji, he waved to her, “come and eat with us.”
Seeing this, Su Ji knew that her mother was not home.
She hooked her backpack on her arm and strode into the courtyard, “is my mother busy tonight?”
Uncle He was getting along with Aunt Wu recently. He squinted and smiled, “Ms. Xu will be busy until late at night.”
Su Ji raised her eyebrows. No wonder they dared to be so brazen.
Pei Huai helped her pull out a chair beside him.
Su Ji loved meat, so she sat down.
The dining table wasn’t very big, and the ingredients were exquisite, but there wasn’t a lot of variety. It was actually a simple open-air meal, but because of the people there, it suddenly felt a bit high-class.
Pei Huai and Su Ji were sitting against the wind, looking very comfortable. However, Su Cunyi wasn’t. As soon as the fire was started, smoke rose to his face.
Pei Huai asked Uncle He to move his seat to the side.
Pei Huai was a clean freak. He didn’t eat a single bite of the raw lettuce and didn’t want Su Ji to eat it either.
At first, Uncle He was the one roasting it at the side. Later, Pei Huai felt that he had done badly and took over.
Su Cunyi talked about many things, and he was concerned about Su Ji. He gave her a lot of meat and seafood, but Pei Huai complained that the food was cold and said, “eat your food. I’ll take care of hers.”
His tone was polite, but he sounded subtly aggressive.
Su Ji looked at him with a smile, “dad, what are you trying to say by planning this?”
Su Cunyi smiled, “nothing. I just want to have a meal with you. But since you asked, I wanted to ask you about your mother and Mr. Tong…”
“It’s finished,” Su Ji took a bite of the beef.
“It’s finished?” Su Cunyi didn’t expect this answer at all, and he couldn’t hide his gloating smile.
After thinking about it, he smiled and said, “I saw that you guys had a good meal yesterday, so I prepared a barbecue today. It’s not bad, right? ”
Su Ji glanced at the window on the first floor of their room. “You can see what we were eating? I didn’t notice it before.”
Pei Huai sighed silently.
Su Cunyi realized that he exposed himself and was a little embarrassed.
He had wanted to have a meal with his daughter today and tell her that he would not be living here anymore. However, when he heard that Xu Mingzhi was not going to date Mr. Tong, he suddenly wanted to get back into the game. He smiled and said, “don’t worry about your mother. I want to know what you think.”
“Who’s better, me or Mr. Tong?”
“Judging solely on our qualities.”
Su Cunyi straightened his back. Under the moonlight, his side profile was very handsome.
Su Ji could vote for him based on his looks alone, but in terms of quality…
“You’re not as good as Uncle Tong,” Su Ji replied.
Su Cunyi: “???”
He’s the CEO of Su Corporation!
However, this was not the condition that Su Ji was looking at. “First, Uncle Tong has never been married, but you have been married several times.”
“Several times?” Su Cunyi leaned forward, “the first time was with your mother.”
Su Ji replied, “the second wasn’t.”
“Second,” Su Ji said, “Uncle Tong doesn’t have any children, but you have two, and they’re both very annoying.”
Pei Huai looked at Su Cunyi.
Su Ji said it lightly, but her words were really hurtful.
After being at a loss for words for a long time, he sighed and gave in. “In the future, no matter who your mom gets together with, I will always be your dad. And those men will always be your uncles, okay?”
Su Ji raised her eyebrows and agreed.
Su Cunyi was happy to see his daughter, and nothing else mattered.
He asked her about her work, and Su Ji simply said, “my character has a scene with her father tomorrow.”
Su Cunyi was sensitive when he heard this. “Your character’s father? In the last episode, you were still looking for him. Who’s going to play your father?”
He’d watched every episode.
Su Ji recalled Huang Huayu and Han Junlei’s conversation, “it hasn’t been decided yet.”
Pei Huai roasted a whole piece of steak and cut it into ten small pieces. Su Cunyi received two pieces and Su Ji received eight.
Su Cunyi said, “they still haven’t decided on the actor? That won’t affect the shooting, right?”
Su Ji replied, “it’s just a photo.”
“Just a photo…” Su Cunyi repeated in a low voice. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, “then use my photo. I always wanted to work with you!”
Su Ji looked up at him, “that’s not appropriate…”
Su Cunyi said, “why? We are father and daughter. It looks better that way too.”
What he said was reasonable, and Su Ji also felt that it made sense. “If you agree, then I will tell the crew?”
She took out her phone.
Su Cunyi was very happy to agree. “I must always be your father, even on a show.”
Su Ji sent the message to the group chat.
Pei Huai stuffed one hand into his pocket and barbecued the meat with the other, looking calm and composed.
After everything was settled, he smiled slightly and said slowly, “uncle, aren’t you curious about the plot?”
