Chapter 257: Night Play

Chapter 257

Qin Wei changed her costume and came out from the trailer. She immediately felt the hot air rushing to her face. The weather was getting hotter now. Even at night she felt stuffy and felt like she couldn't live without air conditioning.

A wisp of coolness blew from behind. Qin Wei turned her head and saw Li Liang holding a small electric fan towards her. Seeing that Qin Wei was still frowning, she cautiously restrained her smile.

She had just failed to let Qin Wei eat well, and then made a group dinner appointment. Although Qin Wei didn't say anything, she had not given her a good look and just sat in the car playing with her phone until now.

"What's next to shoot?"

Qin Wei was the first to speak and took the initiative to talk to her.

"Brother Dazhe will meet you inside the imperial palace in the capital. The emperor is celebrating his birthday. Brother rushed here all the way from the northern grasslands with gifts."

Li Liang blurted out.

Since the company transferred her to be Qin Wei's assistant, she did not dare to be negligent. Moreover, Qin Wei was very kind to her, giving her red envelopes from time to time for various reasons. So she worked harder and was very attentive to everything related to Qin Wei.

She would read the notice list sent to her hand over and over again until she memorized it.

"Hmm..."

Qin Wei recalled that there was indeed such a plot, but it was newly added to the script. She had read it too.

"The one playing my brother Dazhe is an idol who debuted last year...called Guo Yuyang, right?"

Li Liang nodded.

...

The set was still very hot. Li Liang followed Qin Wei with her small electric fan.

"Give it to me and I'll hold it myself..."

Seeing her tired from holding it, Qin Wei reached out to take it.

"Sis, I'm your assistant. This is what an assistant should do. Let me play my role."

Li Liang insisted. Qin Wei didn't object either. Seeing Li Yan come to take her there, she followed him.

Tonight's scene was outdoors. As soon as she walked over, she saw a man in ancient costume waving at her and shouting at her:

"Weiwei!"

Do they know each other?

Qin Wei was sure she didn't know him. She had been unemployed at home before and after his debut. How could a down-and-out female star have anything to do with a rising star?

Seeing the other person walking towards her with open arms as if to give her a hug, Qin Wei immediately said to him first:

"Hello."

A polite and alienating greeting instantly dispelled his idea of ??a hug. He stood in front of Qin Wei, generously showing his smile and revealing his white teeth, smiling clean and sunny:

"You debuted early, so I should have called you Teacher Qin, but when I saw you just now I felt so intimate.

It's like... I don't know how to describe it, it's just, um...

We were supposed to meet, that kind of feeling. I would call it a 'sense of destiny'. I don't know why, when I saw you, although it was the first time we met, I felt like I should hug you, as if I should do that... Sorry, I'm a little excited. rude."

Qin Wei was confused. The young man looked good and didn't seem stupid either. How could he speak so aimlessly?

"Yuyang, it's forty-seven tribes. Also it's to serve, no pause in the middle."

Guo Yuyang rubbed his nose and said "sorry" as he stared at the script, then started over.

Fortunately he was not stupid. Under Director Yao's guidance, he got through this section of lines twice, and it was fine.

Director Yao stood with his hands on his hips, feeling a little tired, but he could understand. Rising stars have heavy workloads and high pressure, not much time to read scripts, so they are unfamiliar with them. This can be remedied.

"Let's officially start shooting then!"

With the clapperboard's clack, shooting began.

At night, the palace gate was about to close. Luoyang met her brother Dazhe at the gate. Luoyang walked over and said while walking:

"Brother, why are you going overboard?"

Director Yao: "?"

The camera turned. Dazhe had his arms open, wanting to hug Luoyang.

"Cut!"

Director Yao picked up the megaphone next to him:

"What is Dazhe doing? Don't you know what your relationship is? There's no such thing in the script!"

Guo Yuyang looked innocent:

"Director, we are siblings. It makes sense to hug after a long separation!"

Reasonable my a*s!

But Director Yao didn't say it:

"It's not a modern drama, not that open. Siblings of age should avoid suspicion too. Don't add irrelevant actions for me. Let's do it again!"

Guo Yuyang helplessly glanced at Qin Wei, then adjusted his emotions.

This time he didn't overact, but his lines were stiff and full of mistakes.

It took eight takes to get through a shot.

Although Qin Wei tried her best to cooperate, she didn't have much emotion left later on.

Director Yao called them over to watch a playback on the monitor.

"Yuyang, the emotional expression of the lines is not quite there..."

Director Yao struggled to find the right words, then said it out gently.

Guo Yuyang rubbed his nose without saying anything.

His agent suddenly came over, stroking Guo Yuyang's head while saying to the director:

"My Yuyang just debuted. He's still a newcomer with little experience. Later I will personally find a dubbing teacher for the boy. For acting skills, Director, thank you for your patience and guidance...

Oh yes, Director Yao, didn't you say you were short on funds to rent equipment? Our Yuyang's endorsed Sharp seems to be interested in sponsoring..."

Director Yao reluctantly agreed with him and changed the subject to wrap up for the day.
