107 Filming Began
“Alright, there are a few of us. It’s even better if we can rent a guesthouse with a small courtyard. Lang Yu said that he knows how to cook, so we can use it when the time comes.” Yu Han nodded in agreement. After all, with Old Bai’s stingy personality, the production team’s bento boxes probably wouldn’t be that delicious. They couldn’t keep eating takeaway either.
However, Yu Han’s heart ached at the thought of this. The expenses of renting a house and food cost a lot of money. She was a newcomer and did not have much savings. Her salary was also low. Although her two uncles transferred money to her account every month, she could not be shameless and spend their money all the time. Yu Han thought that she had to find a job that could earn money quickly.
The staff were nervously setting up the set when she arrived. Yu Han searched around and finally found Bai Chao, who had been pulling his hair in the corner. She walked over and was shocked by the dejected and haggard look on Bai Chao’s face.
“Director, did you go to be a thief last night? Why are your dark circles so big?”
Bai Chao turned around and looked at her bitterly. “Who do you think I owe this to?”
Yu Han thought that he had worked himself to this state because he was busy with the emergency filming. She could only comfort him. “The earlier we start filming, the earlier we’ll finish filming. It’s just a matter of time. We’re going through this anyway.”
Bai Chao pulled out another handful of his sparse hair and shook his head solemnly. “You don’t understand.” It would have been fine if he was really busy preparing for filming. After all, he had been looking forward to it for so long. It was considered a happy thing to finally be able to start filming. However, the greatest credit for him becoming like this was Ji Jun, the Best Actor Ji. He had clearly been busy the entire day yesterday and was extremely tired. Last night, Ji Jun had even grabbed hold of him and made him change the script for the entire night.
Ji Jun was unyielding and ruthless.
It was said to be the commencement day, but because it was too rushed, there was not enough time to prepare many things. However, Bai Chao still got someone to prepare a roasted suckling pig at the last minute and held a simple and slightly sloppy commencement ceremony.
The first scene was a conflict between the first female lead and the second female lead.
Yuan Fei, who had already put on makeup, lifted her dress and stood in front of the camera. Compared to her youthful and childish face at the audition, Yuan Fei, who had put on expensive makeup, now had a noble and cold look on her face. She looked like she was not to be trifled with. However, when she turned around and saw Yu Han, her eyes curved. It was a familiar feeling when she smiled. Her coldness from before disappeared.
“Hanhan, today is the first scene. Are you nervous?” She jumped and waved, but was stopped by the makeup artist. “If you jump two more times, your hair will stand on end.”
Yuan Fei could only stick out her tongue awkwardly, looking extremely cute.
Yu Han could not help but laugh. “I was a little nervous at first, but after seeing you, I’m not nervous anymore.”
Yuan Fei patted her chest. “Fortunately, the first scene is with you. If you weren’t nervous, I wouldn’t be so nervous either.”
Bai Chao came over with the script to talk about the scene. The focus was on Yuan Fei. “You have to pay attention to your position later. Also, you have to follow the camera when your emotions are in place.”
Yuan Fei nodded solemnly. “Alright, I understand, Director.”
Seeing her sincere attitude and eagerness to learn, Bai Chao nodded in satisfaction and left.
Yuan Fei was curious. “Don’t you need to talk to Hanhan about acting?”
Coincidentally, his phone rang in his pocket. Bai Chao took out his phone and picked it up. He replied casually, “She doesn’t need my instructions.” Yu Han’s acting skills were not bad to begin with. In addition, Best Actor Ji had personally taught her, so there was no room for him, the director, to perform.
However, these words had another meaning in Yuan Fei’s ears. After the audition was successful, she was pulled into the production team’s group chat, so she more or less knew some news about the production team. The reason why this film could start filming successfully was all thanks to the investment Yu Han had pulled in. Hence, her role was directly promoted from the second female lead to the first female lead.
Yuan Fei naturally would not say anything bad about Yu Han. However, she felt inexplicably upset when she saw the director say that he did not need to care about Yu Han. It was as if she felt sorry for Yu Han. As for what she felt sorry for, she could not explain it at the moment.
Yu Han did not know that Old Bai’s words made Yuan Fei’s imagination run wild. After Old Bai gave the order, she immediately entered her acting state. The moment she opened her eyes, she became Bai Lu in the drama.
On a hill not far away, a middle-aged man brought Ji Jun to the set and looked at the filming situation from afar. “Old Bai sure knows how to choose actors.”
Ji Jun’s gaze landed on Yu Han. “It’s indeed a good choice.”
