Chu Yi looked at the martial arts teacher. He was indeed busy teaching another male actor. Hence, Chu Yi readily agreed, “Okay, but you don’t have to be so formal. Just call me Chu Yi.”
Song Ci smiled and said, “It’s only normal since I’m asking for your help. I’ll call you Brother Chu instead. You can also refer to me as Song Ci or Little Song.”
“Alright. Little Song, give me a moment. I’m going to help the staff tidy up first.”
Song Ci nodded and took out her phone.
“Let’s exchange our contact details. It’ll be more convenient.”
Chu Yi agreed and after exchanging contact details, he left.
Song Ci returned to her resting area and sat on a chair.
‘There’s really something familiar about him…’
Then minutes later, Chu Yi returned.
Song Ci showed off some moves that she had learned, but there was clearly room for improvement.
First, Chu Yi complimented Song Ci. Then, he tried to help her improve.
Song Ci did not show any signs of dissatisfaction, which made Chu Yi feel relieved. He continued to guide her.
After a while, Song Ci asked Yang Haoran to record her performance for future reference.
With Chu Yi’s help, she had definitely improved.
“Brother Chu, you’re very good.”
Chu Yi smiled brightly.
“I used to be a stunt double, so I have some experience. Your moves are already quite good overall. Just tweak them a bit to look more elegant. After all, beauty is the priority in filming.”
Song Ci was surprised.
“You used to be a stunt double?”
Chu Yi nodded with a smile on his face.
“Brother Chu, how long have you been in this industry?”
“About six or seven years.”
Six or seven years and he was still a nameless extra? This meant no one was supporting him.
Song Ci fell silent. She was reminded of her past life. Back then, she was even less talented than him.
Chu Yi did not want things to become awkward, so he quickly said, “Is there anything else I can help you with? If not, I’ll be leaving.”
Song Ci did not want him to leave like this.
“Um… Brother Chu, are you busy? If not, can you help me rehearse my lines?”
Chu Yi pointed at himself and said, “Rehearse your lines with me?”
He was just an extra with barely any screen time. Did Song Ci really think that highly of him?
Song Ci nodded.
“My co-star for the next scene hasn’t arrived yet and the others are busy.”
After saying that, Song Ci realized that she may be making things difficult for Chu Yi. So, she immediately added, “But if you’re busy, it’s fine. I’m sorry for troubling you.”
Chu Yi did not feel that way. He was just baffled. Throughout his years on various production teams, nobody had offered to rehearse their lines with him. Song Ci was the first. Naturally, he felt a little excited.
“It’s fine. I don’t have much experience but if you don’t mind, we can practice together.”
Song Ci had been paying attention to Chu Yi’s words and movements. She concluded that he was really humble.
‘What a pity… He’s so brilliant, but he never got the opportunity to shine.’
Since it was Chu Yi’s first time practicing with someone else, he could not help but ask expectantly, “What do you think?”
Song Ci replied sincerely, “Brother Chu, your acting skills are superb.”
