Transmigration? No, it's transmigration into a book. From an eighth-tier celebrity to an eighteenth-tier one, is it miserable? No, there's also a best friend who transmigrated to an earlier...
Today I filmed two large rural wedding banquets. The dishes served were all made according to local customs, and the chefs were local veterans from the village.
After filming, the actors had lunch at the banquet.
Yun Shudai also sent a photo to her husband, Mr. Bai: "A rural wedding banquet in City C, the food is delicious."
Wei Qing said, "I wish all filming could be like this in the future."
Lanman laughed: "If that's really the case, the crew will be devastated."
However, the food was indeed quite good; even Lanman, who was on a strict diet, ate a lot.
Sweetie got along well with the elderly men and women in the village. After the meal, she even brought back a bowl of sweet rice wine porridge in a thermos.
In the afternoon, Yun Shudai had a scene where she fell into a pond.
"Sister Shushu, should I talk to the crew and find a stand-in? Even though it's summer, the pond water is still quite cold."
"I don't need a stunt double. Just bring me a blanket to warm myself up when I come out."
Sweetie said, "Don't worry, Sister Shushu, I'll prepare this rice wine soup for you too. I'll also go to the village clinic later to get you some cold medicine to prevent catching a cold."
Yun Shudai gave them both a thumbs up.
The filming of this scene also marks the turning point in the separation of the male lead and the female supporting character. After Zhuang Qing fell into the water, the village doctor said that her body was frozen and that she would have difficulty getting pregnant in the future.
The male protagonist's family disapproved of their relationship and forcibly separated them.
The female supporting character fell into the pond and was indirectly saved by a male teacher who came from the county to visit relatives. He would later become her husband.
The actor playing the male teacher only arrived this morning.
Because she was going into the water, Yun Shudai wore a safety suit inside.
During filming, the crew also implemented a series of safety measures.
"Teacher Yun, everything is ready. Would you like to begin?"
“Sure.” Yun Shudai wasn’t that diva-like; it was just a scene where she fell into the water, which she could handle with ease.
However, during filming, the male actor messed up. Every time he tried to pull Yun Shudai up, he either couldn't pull her up or caused her to choke on water.
A scene involving falling into the water was filmed five times. After each take, the crew had to take a shower and let the props team dry their clothes before filming the second take.
Wei Qing and Lan Man, who were scheduled to have scenes to film that afternoon, watched Yun Shudai's scene and remarked, "Shudai is quite dedicated and easy to talk to. If it were me, I would have gotten impatient long ago."
Wei Qing, who had worked with her before, smiled and said, "She is indeed a very nice person."
Seeing that no one was around, Lanman asked in a low voice, "Was it really true between Shushu and Jiang Yi before?"
Wei Qing shook his head: "I don't know."
Lanman was curious, but seeing that he didn't know either, she didn't ask any more questions.
Yun Shudai thought that a scene of falling into the water could be filmed in one take, or at most two, but it ended up taking several takes.
Fortunately, she managed to get through the ordeal before dark, otherwise she would have really gotten sick.
Li Guang, who played the male teacher, repeatedly apologized to her after filming: "Teacher Yun, I'm sorry. This is some cold medicine that my assistant just brought. Please drink some. I'm so sorry."
Yun Shudai nodded to him: "It's alright, Teacher Li. We're all just filming. You go ahead and do your work. I need to go back and wash up, or I'll really catch a cold."
Li Guang watched as Yun Shudai got into the RV.
The assistant whispered to Li Guang, "Guangzi, Teacher Yun's car is really nice. She's not that famous in the industry, is she dating a rich guy?"
Li Guang lit a cigarette and gave a subtle sneer: "Which woman is easy to be among the top? I was thinking of taking this opportunity to chat with her, but this woman always manages to avoid me without me even noticing. Tsk, pretty clever."
The assistant beside him fell silent. His boss wasn't a big shot, but he was a womanizer.
