Chapter 255 Filming Begins
Filmmaking pays close attention to detail because the big screen amplifies every detail and micro-expression, which naturally places higher demands on the actors.
They scrutinize both her appearance and acting skills almost like they're under a microscope.
Moreover, this is Shen Ruojun's first film. If it's well-made, it can open up the film market; if it's poorly made, then her career in this field will basically be ruined.
With all the preparatory work done, filming has started smoothly, and today we're shooting the first scene.
In the corridor of the Prince's Mansion, against the red brick walls, a young man dressed in black robes, a sword at his waist, moves with the speed of the wind.
"Aji, wait for me!" A boy's voice came from behind. Zhou Ji turned around, but his face did not show much expression.
Bai Qian, holding two large chicken legs, ran quickly toward him, his face full of excitement.
Bai Qian is Zhou Ji's only good brother. Zhou Ji was bullied since childhood.
Although Bai Qian was of noble status, he was often ridiculed for being stupid.
Their first meeting as children was like a meeting of minds, and they became good friends.
"I heard you were promoted to Lieutenant General today, so I came to congratulate you!" he said, handing a chicken leg to Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji didn't seem to mind and took it from him. "Why did you sneak out?"
He reached into his robes and handed Bai Qian a handkerchief, saying, "Wipe yourself."
Bai Qian took the handkerchief and wiped the oil stains off his hands. "I can't understand any of the classical Chinese phrases the Master used. They make me sleepy as soon as I hear them."
The two turned around and leaned against the railing. Zhou Ji took a bite of the chicken leg, and it tasted the same as before.
"I just want to open a restaurant and come up with lots of new dishes every day. I don't want to read the Four Books and Five Classics every day."
Zhou Ji smiled and said, "You need to be literate to do business, otherwise you won't even be able to understand the accounts."
Bai Qian thought for a moment and nodded. "You're right. You must come when my shop opens."
Zhou Ji turned his head to look at him, a smile in his eyes, "Okay."
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting the shadows of the two figures onto the wall.
"Cut! Great!" the director shouted, a satisfied smile on his face.
People value auspiciousness, and if you can pass the first take on the first try, it means that the subsequent filming will go smoothly.
Shen Ruoyun quickly swallowed the chicken leg in her mouth, then took another bite, before her assistant swiftly snatched it away.
Seeing this, Chen Jiale immediately sped up his chewing, afraid that it would be snatched away from him as well.
"Brother Yun, do you know which film crew is next door?" Chen Jiale asked with a somewhat mysterious expression.
Shen Ruoyun took a sip of water. He really didn't know what kind of film crew was next door, but he had glimpsed it yesterday and it seemed to be quite a big production.
"What film crew?"
“It’s Fang Zhen! You know him, right? He’s a big director.” Chen Jiale’s tone was slightly exaggerated.
Shen Ruoyun paused, "A square pillow? What a coincidence."
He really didn't expect that Fang Zhen could be filming next door, but it shouldn't be very common, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.
"Brother Yun, do you know him?" Chen Jiale asked.
"We know each other, but we're not close. Let's go eat first, or our boxed lunches will get cold."
Shen Ruoyun and Chen Jiale took their boxed lunches to the RV to eat. It was a bit hot at noon, but luckily the RV had air conditioning.
I never thought it was really necessary when I saw other celebrities buying RVs, but now that I live in one, it's truly amazing.
Lu Yan really understands him. He took two boxes of ice cream from the small refrigerator, opened one, and placed it next to Chen Jiale.
"Mmm... thank you, Brother Yun." Chen Jiale scooped up a big spoonful and put it in his mouth, almost squinting with happiness.
After taking a few bites, Shen Ruoyun suddenly remembered something, took a picture, and sent it to the group chat.
Ruan Huai: Wow, this looks delicious! I'll eat this later too!
Lu Yan: Don't eat too much cold food.
Chen Jiaxi: Chen Jiale, don't eat so much.
Qin Chuhuai: Junjun, look at the trophy I'm holding, isn't it cool? [Image]
Shen Ruoyun clicked on the picture and glanced at it. He had broad shoulders and long legs, and looked very handsome. The only drawback was that he didn't have those features on himself.
Shen Ruoyun @ Qin Chuhuai: Hmm, it's alright.
Qin Chuhuai (@Shen Ruoyun): Wait till I win the World Championship and show you! [Go for it!]
Shen Ruoyun smiled and prepared to put her phone away, but suddenly remembered that Lin Yanshu hadn't replied to her messages in a long time.
Opening Lin Yanshu's chat window, the view finally stopped at the message sent by Shen Ruojun. In the past, the message would usually end with the other person's name.
He felt that the other person had been acting differently lately, like a good friend had suddenly become distant without any warning.
Lin Yanshu glanced at the date; it was the weekend, so he shouldn't be at work. Without thinking, he dialed the other party's WeChat number.
The notification sounded, and it took a while for the other party to answer. Their voice was a little hoarse, but still very gentle.
"What's wrong with Junjun?"
Hearing his voice, Shen Ruoyun felt much better. "Brother Yanshu, why does your voice sound strange? Are you sick?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Yanshu's voice came through the receiver, "It's nothing, I just fell asleep."
"Oh, I see. You go to sleep first, I need to sleep for a while too." Shen Ruoyun felt a little embarrassed for disturbing others.
"Okay, you should get some rest too. I'll contact you next time." Lin Yanshu said and then hung up the phone.
Shen Ruoyun smiled, quickly finished the ice cream, and then rested in the car.
Because of the tight budget, the filming schedule had to be accelerated, and Shen Ruoyun, as the lead actor, naturally had the most scenes, working almost non-stop every day.
Every day, before I even open my eyes, I start getting my makeup done and filming, groping my way into the dressing room.
Before he could even start changing his clothes, he was pulled out by a brute force.
Fortunately, Shen Ruoyun reacted quickly and grabbed onto the shelf beside her, which prevented her from falling.
Now that she was awake, the assistant quickly stepped forward and helped Shen Ruoyun up.
He glanced into the fitting room and was instantly enraged. "Why is it you?"
He Wangyou was still holding his phone, with two assistants beside him. He looked away from the screen and towards Shen Ruoyun.
When he saw Shen Ruoyun, his expression changed immediately, clearly recalling some unpleasant memories.
But she quickly returned to normal, glancing at Shen Ruoyun, "Our fitting room is broken, so we'll borrow yours. We've already informed your director."
He Wangyou's disdainful look, coupled with his arrogant tone, infuriated the assistant so much that she almost burst out laughing on the spot.
"Don't you know about first come, first served?"
However, He Wangyou didn't take it to heart at all. "I'm in a hurry. You guys go next door."
She raised her hand to close the door, complaining, "A small film crew is a small film crew; even their dressing room is so shabby."
