[Old He, I've arrived.] Not seeing her reply for a while, I knew she definitely wasn't in the space.
The next day, Yun Shudai went to the dressing room on the first floor and met the female lead of the movie, Juan Dan, a very talented actress in her thirties. The male lead was Cai Yuan, a popular idol in recent years. The villain was a talented actor in his forties who often played major villains. No one knew his surname; his stage name was Dongjiang, and everyone called him Brother Dongjiang.
There are also more than twenty other actors, some of whom are very accomplished veterans in the industry, some are newcomers, and some, like her, are not very famous.
Yun Shudai greeted these seniors politely, some very warmly, others coldly and distantly, but she didn't care much.
Today is for the costume fitting. The female lead had her costume fitting done in advance. Today I'm here to greet the actors I'm familiar with, such as the several veteran actors who are making guest appearances and are very famous in the industry.
Of course, today's fittings were prioritized for the senior members first.
Because there weren't enough makeup artists, she dressed herself, did her own makeup, and waited for an hour before the makeup artist could finally help her with her styling. She tried on three outfits and finally chose one.
The costume fitting for the film crew took two days, and on the second day she had nothing to do, so she stayed in her room playing with her baby and figuring out how to start writing this introduction.
The production team arranged a room with a living room and a desk for her, probably for her convenience.
The production team was divided into three groups when filming began. Yun Shudai was in the second group. During this period, the first group needed to work in the studio, while the second group went to the mountains on the outskirts of G City.
So every day after she finished getting her makeup done at the hotel, she had to go up the mountain with the film crew.
G City has many mountains, and most of the filming locations for fantasy and demon-themed movies are here. The number of scenes filmed in the mountains is not fixed, and the most tiring part is for the staff. They need to find the location in advance, adjust the equipment, and prepare wire work for some fight scenes.
Most of them require two or three days to complete a single scene, and the scenes are all different.
Her group consisted of two veteran actors: the actress was the renowned artist Yang Hua, and the actor was Chang Shilei, a comedian who often played supporting roles. There was also a new actor, a sophomore named Zhang Lian, who played her parents and brother. The rest of the cast consisted of many little fox spirits.
The footage shot these past two days shows the daily life of the fox demon clan.
Yun Shudai got along well with Teacher Yang Hua, Teacher Chang, and Zhang Lian. While the staff were setting up the venue, she and Teacher Yang Hua would sit under the shade of a tree, drinking tea and chatting.
Teacher Chang couldn't sit still. His daily routine included holding a thermos cup and wandering around in front of the staff, sometimes giving instructions and sometimes helping out.
They filmed at a different location each week, and she and three others filmed for a week. The villain, Brother Dongjiang, also came over.
The following week's scenes were quite lively, with many villains appearing.
Brother Dongjiang and Teacher Chang are actually good friends. When filming, he looks fierce and menacing, but when not filming, he works with Teacher Chang in the work area, directing and helping out.
Yun Shudai found it somewhat jarring, so in order to quickly get into character, she didn't talk to Brother Dongjiang much.
This puzzled Dongjiang, who even came over to talk to her, thinking that Yun Shudai was just a quiet person. But when he asked, he found out it was a misunderstanding.
"I'm afraid that I'll burst out laughing when I see you during filming."
"Haha, that was my fault." He then said to the actors, "Should I tone it down a bit, or it will be the same as the last one? The same goes for Juan Dan. We worked together quite well at first, but who would have thought that she would laugh whenever we acted together in the end."
"It's because you two got to know each other better and you led you astray. Teacher Juan filmed with you for several months and you almost turned her into a comedian."
Yun Shudai hadn't expected that her worries were not unfounded.
