"Hey, your performance just now was really great." During the intermission, Simon took the initiative to come over and talk to Su Lingxi: "Do you have any tricks? I have never seen anyone who can memorize lines as efficiently as you."

Compared to Joey, Simon Prideaux is actually a somewhat stubborn and individual actor - his acting skills are certainly not at the level where he can be called a master, but he is indeed better than his peers.

At least after spending more than ten hours together, Su Lingxi could feel that he and Cox had completely different personalities.

Simon is not keen on socializing and has no interest in the "palace intrigues" led by Cox.

The only thing that could hold his attention was acting itself.

He is a relatively pure actor.

So Su Lingxi did not attribute her bad impression of Cox to him.

"It's actually okay, not as exaggerated as you say." She held the ice water in her hand, clinked glasses with him lightly, and smiled slyly: "Maybe it's because I studied very hard, so my memory is pretty good."

Although he was still very curious, Simon also understood that this was a private matter and that it was unlikely that someone would be honest with him, so he stopped asking and nodded and raised his glass in response, "Your learning ability is obvious to everyone. You can speak French at the level of a native speaker. That's amazing."

The two of them praised each other half-heartedly, and after a long while, Simon euphemistically stated the purpose of his visit.

"Well, actually I wanted to come here and say sorry to you... What happened this morning was Joey's fault. He has been in a bad mood recently and may have done something rude to you unintentionally..."

"But please believe me, it was definitely not our intention to do this to a girl."

He whispered, his beautiful blue eyes dimmed at this moment, and he looked a little apologetic.

Too lazy to tell whether this was true or false, Su Lingxi smiled politely, "It's okay, I understand you can do anything if you're in a bad mood, I hope we can get along better in the future, okay?"

Everyone can say polite words to gloss over the situation.

Simon carefully observed the changes in her expression, but didn't see any clues, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Cox was a man with a bad temper and a strong opinion, so he couldn't control him, but he couldn't just watch his manager and the heroine become enemies...

He now only hopes that the two of them can get along peacefully until he finishes filming and leaves the group, and don't cause any trouble.

Even if it can only maintain a short-lived false peace.

However, the development of things was ultimately contrary to everything Simon had imagined.

Two days after Su Lingxi joined the crew, the delicate relationship between the director Selina, the makeup artist Edith, the heroine Nicole and the actor's manager Joey Cox had become a well-known topic of conversation.

Whether it was the conflict that occurred in the dressing room that day, or Joey's repeated disregard for Nicole in public, it all reached the ears of the staff in various departments of the crew at an extremely fast speed.

You know, dressing rooms and food pick-up areas have always been the places where gossip is most widely spread. Even if it is a trivial matter, there is no hope of escaping it.

What's more, the two people facing each other this time have high status in the crew, so their every move will inevitably attract more attention.

For Selina, she has witnessed a lot of such internal conflicts among crew members - the French are polite but also mostly straightforward, and there are far more cases of actors having conflicts on the set in person than reported by the outside world.

According to her past experience, if it was just a minor friction, she would let the parties involved solve it themselves; if things were likely to get out of hand, she would promptly step in as the mediator and give both parties a lash of the cane and the matter would be settled.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect her filming.

With this in mind, although Selina was unhappy with Joey Cox's behavior, she pretended to be ignorant and had no intention of intervening in the matter.

But Joey is a stupid guy who doesn't know when to quit.

Finally, when he once again suggested in a mocking tone that Su Lingxi dye her hair brown to look better on camera, Selina couldn't help but burst out: "Cox, your behavior towards Nicole is so rude. This is not what a gentleman should do at all!"

"What's wrong with black hair? Isabelle Adele also has black hair. Did it affect her winning the award?"

"To be honest, your remarks often make me wonder if you have racist tendencies. Oh, of course, this may be a misunderstanding. All in all, I hope that no one in my crew would have such devilish thoughts."

Joey probably didn't expect that she would suddenly attack at this time. His blue eyes narrowed slightly and his tone became more unfriendly.

"Racial discrimination? This is a shocking accusation... I think I should reiterate that I just think brown looks better on camera. This is just a conscientious suggestion from a non-professional, nothing more."

"Since you know you are not a professional, you should learn to keep your mouth shut." Selina calmly retorted, "Besides that, I think you should go to the anti-red hair discrimination parade in the city - black hair is just as beautiful and decent as red hair, and there is no difference between it and other hair colors."

Joey was choked, his fair face flushed slightly, obviously he didn't expect Selina's attitude to change so much in just a few minutes.

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became awkward.

Fortunately, there were only a few main creators of the crew left here, and Master Cox's embarrassing scene had not yet been witnessed by more people.

"Selina, who do you think you are talking to?" the golden head said angrily.

He was obviously so angry at Selina's blunt words that he didn't even want to maintain the most basic manners and decency.

"Don't be so naive, okay? Let me remind you again, this is France, not the United States." Selina was not frightened by his momentum at all, and continued calmly: "If you dare to continue your bad behavior, I will make sure you become the first laughing stock of the Cox family - Joey, I don't mind accompanying you to the end."

There was silence for two seconds.

Su Lingxi saw Simon pulling at Joey Cox's sleeves with such force that it was doubtful that he would tear the shirt sooner or later.

"Well, good, you're a really good director who loves actors," Cox said mockingly.

Although he still spoke in his usual drawling, annoying tone, Su Lingxi clearly saw how the muscles on his face were trembling slightly with anger.

Really...very embarrassing.
