Genius and Idiot

By the time Lu Zhen finished her makeup and changed her clothes, Lu Rou had already finished filming a scene and was touching up her makeup.

The screenwriter edited their scenes at the last minute and handed the script to the two of them to familiarize themselves with.

After Lu Zhen received the script, she began to figure out the character. She had always been very careful and serious when it came to work. In addition, she was talented, so she was able to become famous in her previous life.

If Lu Rou and the others hadn’t schemed against her, she would definitely have become the top actress in the entertainment industry. After all, she had a lot of film, television, and fashion industry resources.

“Sister Zhenzhen, have a glass of honey water to moisten your throat.” Sun Xiao brought over a glass of honey water.

As the characters in the drama had a lot of lines, her throat probably wouldn’t be able to take it if she didn’t drink some water.

“Thank you, Sun Xiao.” Lu Zhen thanked her gently. She was really starting to like this little assistant more and more.

Sun Xiao blushed a little. This was what she should do. Sister Zhenzhen was too polite to her. After putting on makeup, Lu Zhen looked gorgeous. Even a girl like her was mesmerized.

Lu Rou watched from afar and immediately instructed the assistant on the set, “I spoke a lot just now. Get me a glass of water.”

The assistant on the set wasn’t her personal assistant and didn’t want to talk to her, but she was afraid of being targeted by Lu Rou, so she went to get a glass of water.

Lu Rou usually didn’t have an assistant. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford to hire one, but Wu Yu was worried that if they hired an assistant, the news of them controlling and bullying Lu Zhen would spread. It wasn’t safe enough, so Wu Yu had always been the assistant.

Lu Zhen took a sip of honeyed water and continued to silently recite her lines.

Then Director Li walked over. “How is it going? Any questions?”

“I’m about ready!” Lu Zhen nodded.

However, Lu Rou encountered a problem. She couldn’t remember her lines. Although she was racking her brains to memorize them, the effect wasn’t good.

In fact, if not for Lu Zhen, with her acting skills and status, Lu Rou wouldn’t have been able to take on this role.

“Lu Rou, how are your preparations going?” Director Li asked Lu Rou again.

Lu Rou braced herself and nodded. “I’m ready, Director Li.”

In fact, the next scene was mainly Lu Zhen’s scene. Her lines accounted for 80% of the scene. Lu Rou only had a few sentences. With a professional actor’s memory, it wasn’t difficult.

Since they were ready, they started shooting.

The crew took their positions, and Lu Zhen quickly got into character. She controlled her demeanor with ease, and her lines were delivered smoothly, as if the female lead in the script had come alive.

“Sister, I think they were delayed because of the long journey. Don’t be anxious…” Lu Rou stopped again.

She looked embarrassed since she couldn’t remember what the next line was.

“Cut!” Director Li shouted. “Lu Rou, take another look at your script. I’ll give you three minutes.”

Lu Rou looked embarrassed as she flipped through the script again. Lu Zhen was touching up her makeup.

Filming resumed. Lu Rou forgot her lines again.

After that, the director and the others’ expressions darkened.

Lu Zhen cooperated and shot seven to eight takes. Every time, it was a perfect performance. She could have passed any one of them. She was completely dragged down by Lu Rou.

At some point, Jin Zhan had appeared not far away. Everyone knew about his relationship with Lu Zhen, and he used to visit occasionally, so it wasn’t surprising.

Lu Rou became even more nervous when she saw Jin Zhan. She had liked Jin Zhan for a long time. She couldn’t lose to Lu Zhen in front of him!

Lu Zhen also saw Jin Zhan. She frowned. Why hadn’t this scumbag left? Normal people with the slightest bit of shame would be so ashamed that they wouldn’t appear again after their girlfriend caught them cheating, right? He was a person of status after all. Did he have no shame at all?

While Lu Zhen was deep in thought, Lu Rou covered her stomach and said with a pale face, “Director Li, my stomach hurts. Can you let me rest for a while today?”

Director Li was speechless. She had failed so many times today, but then she said that her stomach hurt and she needed to rest?

What did she take other people’s time for?

He wanted to curse on the spot, but he held back. He didn’t want bad rumors to spread among the crew. He said with a dark expression, “Alright, let’s film the others’ scenes today!”

Lu Rou heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly glanced at Jin Zhan. He was so handsome!

When she realized that Jin Zhan was also looking at her, she blushed shyly.

Unfortunately, Jin Zhan only glanced at her, then his gaze swept past her towards Lu Zhen.

“Zhenzhen!” Jin Zhan saw that Lu Zhen was ignoring him and quickly went over to stop her.
