Although this matter had become the butt of jokes during the crew's downtime, Luo Qiangwei felt that something was off.
Sheng Miao's direct request for leave seemed out of character... Her strong self-esteem would usually mean she would persevere, just like how she insisted on joining the crew was to compete with her.
Luo Qiangwei was puzzled but couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Sheng Miao was a character that Luo Qiangwei had added specifically for the script; it was not very important to begin with. She was playing the twin sister of the female lead, with not many appearances, and each time she appeared... she was either getting beaten or tortured.
So they could shoot without Sheng Miao.
Because of Luo Qiangwei's presence, the whole crew didn't have to eat lousy boxed meals. When it was time to eat, De Zhuang would send over food, two full tables of it every day, with both meat and vegetarian dishes.
