A Heartless Director, Starting by Forcing Reba to Jump Off a Building!

Chen Li transmigrates to a parallel world and becomes a renowned director.

While preparing for his new film, Yang Mi brings Dilraba in for an audition.

Chen Li: "My requirements are simple: you need to handle pressure and can't quit halfway through."

Yang Mi: "Don't worry, our Dilraba is great under pressure. Isn't that right, Dilraba?"

Dilraba: "That's right, Director Chen. I can do it!"

The set happened to be ready, so Chen Li decided to have her try filming a scene to get a feel for it.

Before filming:

Yang Mi: "It's just a dive, right? Easy."

Dilraba: "I'll do my best!!"

At the filming location.

Yang Mi broke down: "That roof is at least thirteen meters high! You're making a delicate young woman jump down without any safety equipment?"

Dilraba burst into tears: "Director Chen, I'm afraid of heights! I'm scared! What if I don't jump properly and fall to my death?"

Chen Li felt terribly guilty, then said sincerely, "Don't worry! I'll get you a huge insurance policy. If you fall to your death, there'll be a big payout. I'll pay for a rosewood coffin out of my own pocket, line it with premium cashmere, and put a luminous pearl in your mouth. You'll have a truly grand funeral!"

Yang Mi: "…"

Dilraba: "…"
