The recording of the past month for "The Dusty Celestial Master" was all done in the studio. The film requires a lot of motion capture and animated CG. This also means that many performances have to be done in front of green screens.

"Oh my, this is such an embarrassing situation." Just as the play ended, Lin Tianye complained while walking towards the side of the stage.

"Isn't it good enough?" Wang Jiajia joked.

Lin Tianye sighed, "I always can't get into that scene, and I don't even know if I express myself correctly or not."

"At first, it's all the same. We're only on the third day since it started operating, so we just need to adapt." Wang Jiajia found a seat and sat down, saying, "The things Director Zhang brought from that M factory are truly amazing. Even though there's nothing physically there, when you look at the monitor, we're right in the scene. It's like entering another world."

This topic immediately piqued Lin Tianye's interest, and he enthusiastically said, "Jiajia, you didn't see the VR glasses that Director Zhang was wearing, the concept product from FLIX. It was just taken out of the laboratory! They say Fan Ying had to sign a bunch of confidentiality agreements to get them, it's top-notch and cutting-edge!"

Wang Jiajia exclaimed in surprise, "So impressive?"

"Yeah!" Lin Tianye couldn't hide his excitement in his expression, casting away all exhaustion from filming. He turned around, intending to point out the two bodyguards standing next to Director Zhang, Zhang Jiajia's side, to confirm his words. However, he saw Tao Rong just one empty seat away from him.

Lin Tianye's face immediately darkened.

The new kid has managed to provoke Young Master Lin. This has become an open secret within the crew.

Although it has only been three days since the start, Lin Tianye's hostility towards Tao Rong has already become quite apparent. He greets Tao Rong with a cold face as if it were a regular occurrence, often accompanied by sarcastic remarks.

Everyone thought it was very unusual. Although Lin Tianye had a bit of a spoiled attitude, his experience as a trainee in Korea had always made him sensible and polite. In addition, he was also fun to be around and could get along with anyone. It was inexplicable why he would target a newcomer and be so merciless, using childish methods, which truly left people puzzled.

Moreover, Tao Rong is also a talented individual. Tao Rong's character, Gu Yanzhi, made a late entrance, so it wasn't necessary for him to be on set with the crew for the first two weeks. However, Tao Rong arrived the earliest every day and left the latest, meticulously studying every scene without fail.

This made everyone feel even more sorry for this earnest child.

But what else can be done? The roles of the older actors are arranged towards the end, and Director Zhang is too busy with shooting to notice any anomalies. This unexpected situation has made Lin Tianye, who is filming a TV drama for the first time, the highest-ranking member of the entire cast and crew.

One is the young master of the entertainment industry giant, Yaxing, while the other is a newcomer with no background at all. Even a fool knows which side to stand on.

Therefore, no one in the entire crew dared to speak to Tao Rong.

"Tianye, I'm going to get some water first." Wang Jiajia quickly noticed the unfavorable situation and made an excuse to leave, lest she be caught in the tail of the typhoon.

Lin Tianye absentmindedly nodded his head, unsure of what plans he was making.

After a while, Lin Tianye spoke up, "Take all your junk away. How dare you leave it at my place and occupy the space?"

That day, after Lin Tianye issued a stern warning, he indeed did not see Tao Rong's figure at home anymore. Tao Rong took his clothes and other belongings with him, but he left behind his numerous miscellaneous collections.

Afterwards, Li Qing came to inquire about Tao Rong's situation, but Lin Tianye managed to evade his questions. However, Lin Tianye knew that Li Qing must have discovered something, but just didn't expose it.

After all, the scandals within aristocratic families are nothing but a muddy mess; it's better not to get involved.

Tao Rong furrowed his brows and asked, "Why do you dislike me so much?"

"Why?" Lin Tianye laughed scornfully and dared to ask why. "I just don't like you."

Tao Rong remained silent, but his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

Lin Tianye wanted to continue speaking, but just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a burst of singing.

"Little mistress also has feelings~ Little mistress also has love~ In Little mistress's world, nobody cares......"

Lin Tianye was taken aback, and saw that Tao Rong was also stunned. He then took out his phone from his pocket and said, "Hello."

...

Okay! This guy is really showing off! Talking about how mistresses also have feelings and love. Disgusting! Lin Tianye thought through gritted teeth.

He suddenly stood up with a loud noise, glaring fiercely at Tao Rong before angrily kicking the chair, making a loud sound. Without even looking back, he walked away.

Everyone looked over in this direction. Tao Rong hesitated for a moment, his eyes filled with various emotions. Finally, he lowered his head and said into the phone, "It's nothing, please go ahead."

Tao Rong finished the call and received a call from Song San. It wasn't anything major, just a check on the situation, as he was concerned that Tao Rong might not adapt well to the filming environment and said he wanted to visit the set.

Tao Rong repeatedly thanked him. Ever since he left Yuanqing Class, Song San had been helping him tirelessly and wholeheartedly.

Although I was first asked to go home by Yuan Qingban and then swept out the door by Lin Tianye, at least I have a friend now. Tao Rong thought, it's not too miserable.

As he was lost in thought, a person sat down beside him.

"Xiao Rong, what are you thinking?" The person who came was Xu Dong, the assistant director of the crew. Although he was called an assistant director, he only managed miscellaneous tasks and his position was neither high nor low. There were three or four assistant directors like him on the crew.

"There's nothing." Tao Rong answered, offering a polite smile in return.

"Hey, don't be disheartened. Lin Tianye has Yaxing as his backer, so it's normal for him to be a bit arrogant. Just stay away from him and avoid getting into any conflicts with him," Xu Dong consoled, trying to casually put his arm around him.

Tao Rong nodded slightly, evading without leaving a trace.

Xu Dong didn't mind and continued, "Xiao Rong, you're a newcomer and you might not understand the intricacies of this film crew. I heard that you used to be a singer, right? Acting in films is just like being in your theater troupe, there are plenty of rules."

Tao Rong didn't know what Xu Dong meant exactly, so he didn't respond and simply nodded in agreement.

Xu Dong became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, seemingly having the intention of advising and guiding. At an impassioned moment, Xu Dong slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "No wonder Director Zhang has always said that you are perceptive and insightful. It's all clear to you in an instant. By the way, Brother Xu, I've been in the film and television industry for over ten years now. Do you have any free time tonight, Xiao Rong? Let's have a meal together at Cui Xin Building, what do you think?"

"Thank you so much, but..." Tao Rong was pondering how to reject Xu Dong's kind gesture without offending him.

But Xu Dong, as a veteran in the entertainment industry, could see through Tao Rong's thoughts at a glance. "Brother, I don't mean anything else. I'm just concerned that you and the young master of the Lin family have become so estranged, there might be some misunderstanding. This kind of thing, when the parties involved can't explain clearly, I can mediate between you all and resolve it, right?"

Tao Rong hesitated.

He couldn't understand why it had come to this, even though he hadn't seen Lin Tianye for a long time. Xu Dong's words had hit him right where he was vulnerable.

After careful consideration, Tao Rong made up his mind and said, "Alright. Then I'll trouble you, Brother Xu."

"There's no trouble at all," Xu Dong smiled warmly, "From now on, Xiao Rong's matters are my responsibility. Seeing you all alone these past few days, my heart really aches for you, little brother."

Tao Rong reluctantly tugged at the corner of his mouth, while his mind was still pondering over Lin Tianye's attitude towards him, completely oblivious to whatever Xu Dong was saying.
