Ye Yingying's group of actresses had all finished their makeup. During the time the extras were rehearsing, they went over the lines again, read the script a few more times, and tried to figure out the emotions of the characters.

Normally it would be fine, but this time there are over a hundred extras. If they don't film the scene well according to Yu Shishu's requirements, then it'll be a disaster.

Yu Shishu didn't care that there were other people on the scene. He could criticize people from head to toe until they were almost completely worthless. In the past, in relatively secluded filming locations, he would not allow the audience or passersby to watch. Although he did not allow other students to come in this time, there were still about a hundred people who came to act as extras.

That's a bit embarrassing.

For these reasons, artists will naturally be more cautious.

The extras, under the guidance of the assistant director, familiarized themselves with the plot and were also assigned their respective positions in the classroom.

Because Yu Shishu had given specific instructions beforehand, the assistant director selected several students who were suitable for the camera, and then specifically singled out Ye Zhiwei. The other students were more casual, but Ye Zhiwei's seat had to be carefully chosen.

With this seemingly casual but actually deliberate arrangement, the positions have been basically determined. Now the main thing is to rehearse, familiarize ourselves with the script, and explain the plot to the students.

Normally, filming wouldn't be arranged immediately after rehearsals and script familiarization. However, it was really difficult to borrow classrooms at Yenching University. The school repeatedly requested that the crew finish filming that afternoon if possible. Otherwise, adjusting the schedule would be quite troublesome for students, teachers, and even the school. The school has strict teaching plans and course arrangements, and the professors who come to teach also have their own time plans, many of whom also have research projects to participate in.

Since the school has this requirement, the film crew will naturally try their best to comply with the school's arrangements.

After the rehearsal, the crew will immediately begin filming.

The scenes featuring Ye Yingying in the classroom corridor, along with other actors playing roles such as roommates and professors, have been filmed. After the backstage staff confirmed that the classroom lighting layout was correct, the filming of the main storyline officially began.

The male lead, who plays the murderer, arrived late. He was dressed in a smart suit, his hair was meticulously styled, and even his tie was perfectly tied. This man who plays the male lead is a popular young actor in the entertainment industry and the most popular artist in the crew. However, he is no longer so young and belongs to the type of late bloomer. He is around thirty years old this year. At this awkward age, it is actually difficult to continue to compete with the endless stream of young and fresh actors. He has been looking for opportunities to transform his career.

When Yu Shishu was willing to use him, he knew his opportunity had come. He cherished this filming opportunity and put in almost all his effort in acting. Coincidentally, the lead role seemed to suit him well.

His features were exquisite, both refined and handsome. Although he might not have reached the officially stated height of around 1.8 meters, he was still quite tall and had a noble air about him, as if he had been raised in a wealthy family. In addition, he usually presented himself as a gentle and refined gentleman, which matched the image of the male lead, a psychopathic killer, in the script. From the moment he entered the classroom, although the students below tried their best to remain calm, some of the extras were fans of the male lead, and they almost immediately lost their composure.

Yu Shishu immediately frowned, and the scene was paused. The assistant director immediately reassured Yu Shishu, asking him to wait a moment while he did some ideological work with the students.

They were so excited.

The assistant director then specifically called over those female students who had lost their composure to inquire about the situation.

The female student couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "I'm so sorry, Director! We got so excited when we saw Wen Zhaolin. We weren't really interested in being extras, but when we found out it was Yu Shishu's drama and that Zhaolin was the lead, we were really drawn in. We were just so excited when we saw him come in that we couldn't control ourselves. We're so sorry, we'll definitely try our best to control ourselves. If it really comes down to it, we can just quit being extras!"

The director was surprised to find that the person was a fan of the male lead and laughed, "Then you guys should restrain yourselves a little later. Our Director Yu has a bad temper, and he might let you go if this happens again."

Several female students noticed that Yu Shishu's expression was rather unpleasant because they had delayed the filming. They had heard before that Yu Shishu had extremely high standards for acting, and even sitting at their desks far away from him today, they could feel how demanding he was. They had previously seen a trending topic about Yu Shishu seemingly being in a relationship, which included many photos of him with red eyes and looking pitiful, leading them to believe he was indeed a cute, innocent guy.

Surprisingly, despite looking young and cute, her personality seems to be quite difficult.

The female students felt somewhat ashamed.

Seeing their reaction, the assistant director knew they were probably frightened by Yu Shishu, so he comforted them, "Don't make any more mistakes later. Even if you like it, you have to hold back. Don't let Director Yu take his anger out on Zhao Lin because of you. He dislikes having fans of a particular actor among the extras, especially those who ruin the scene. So please bear with it. How about this, after filming, I'll arrange for Zhao Lin to take a photo with you and sign autographs for you?"

With the assistant director's words, how could the girls be unwilling? They were practically screaming. They immediately said they would definitely cooperate. During the ten-minute break, they bombarded their friends and classmates with messages and even posted more than a dozen updates on their WeChat Moments expressing their excitement at seeing their idols.

The news quickly spread among their friends' social media posts.

Even several of Jiang Jianian's senior doctoral students in his lab were harassed in turn.

Most of them who do academic research are not interested in entertainment industry stuff. They don't follow celebrities and rarely watch dramas. There is only one senior sister who is an exception. She is quite quick-witted and smart. In addition to studying and working, she can also have a lot of fun in life. She doesn't miss out on following celebrities, watching dramas, or shipping couples.

The senior student, who had received the news, had been absent-minded several times, which gave the professor a headache. "What's wrong with Xiao Yang today? I've seen her daydreaming several times."

A senior student who knew a bit about the situation chuckled to the professor, "Our senior sister Yang has a favorite celebrity who's filming over there near the teaching building. I guess some junior student she met while working as an extra messaged her, making her really eager to join him as an extra."

The professor asked in surprise, "A film crew is shooting a movie at our school?"

"Professor, it's the crew of director Yu Shishu. I don't know if you remember him, he's the director who has made several hit TV series. His new drama is being filmed at our school." A senior female student next to her, who had heard a bit of this, explained to the coach, "When I went home for summer vacation, my sister was watching his TV series. I watched some of it, and it was pretty good."

The professor shook his head, clearly having never heard of it before. He wasn't particularly interested in these things; he spent most of his time on research and didn't really understand what young people liked these days. But then, as if remembering something, he pointed at Jiang Jianian and said, "I don't understand these things. I'm increasingly confused about what you young people like. Among you, Jiang is the youngest and should be most affected by these things. How come he can remain calm and composed?"

Jiang Jianian, who was specifically praised, did look very calm at the moment. He calmly continued to record experimental data on his tablet, and after finishing the recording, he was able to calmly process the data digitally, as if he was not affected by anything. But only he knew that he could not suppress the restlessness in his heart.
