Chapter 237 They are so well matched, I want to
Seeing that no one was guessing at him, Chu Yanxiao silently liked the Weibo post, keeping his achievements to himself.
On the matter of confidentiality, they and Director Chen were highly consistent, and both felt that they could announce the actors one by one during the promotion period. This would both maintain the mystery of the film and allow the filming to be undisturbed, while also attracting public attention to the film.
After the opening ceremony, the filming officially began. Su Leyun and Chu Yanxiao came to the crew early to do their styling. Because he got up too early, Su Leyun was drowsy the whole time. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep with his head tilted.
Chu Yanxiao, who was sitting next to him putting on makeup, reached out and held his head. The makeup artist naturally didn't dare to let the investor suffer this kind of hardship, so she quickly brought her pillow over and said, "Boss Chu, how about this? It's tiring to hold your hand all the time."
Chu Yanxiao shook his head and said, "It's okay, go ahead and put on your makeup, he's just taking a nap for a while."
Su Leyun seemed to understand what he said in her sleep, and continued to sleep with her head resting on his hand.
The makeup artist didn't understand, but expressed respect and continued with her work.
Soon, the actors' makeup was done, and Su Leyun opened his eyes dazedly. The man who came into view had dark golden demonic patterns outlined on his brow bones, which extended to his temples like burning flames, making his eyebrows and eyes look even sharper.
"Taotie..."
Su Leyun called out subconsciously.
Chu Yanxiao's heart moved slightly, and he called him softly: "Le Le, it's time for us to start filming."
This sentence pulled Su Leyun back from many confusing memories. He shook his head twice and finally became a little more sober.
The makeup artist next to him thought Su Leyun was just sleepy and joked, "Teacher Su got into the role so quickly, it seems our makeup was done very well."
Only then did Su Leyun look at Chu Yanxiao seriously.
He was wearing a dark-colored long-sleeved robe with the collar half-open, revealing his honey-colored chest, with faint black scales on his collarbone.
He had a dark red leather belt around his waist and his hanging hem was embroidered with dark patterns, and it seemed as if there was a surge of blood when he walked.
It does have some of the spirit of an ancient ferocious beast. No wonder I suddenly thought of the real Taotie just now.
He nodded affirmatively: "Well, you did a great job."
The two of them came to the scene together. The staff all stared at them intently. The other actors also had amazed and admiring expressions in their eyes. They were obviously people who were used to seeing all kinds of stars, but now it seemed like the crew was at a star-chasing party.
"I have a feeling our movie will be a huge hit!"
"They are such a perfect match. No wonder they were such a popular couple before. I want to ship them too!"
Director Chen was also very happy: "It's worthy of the person I picked. Let's cheer for him together!"
"First scene," Director Chen raised his voice, "Everyone, do your best to get a good start and get it through in one take."
Deep in the silent bamboo forest, Taotie curled up in a corner, blood still on the corner of his mouth, his eyes fierce yet aggrieved, and the torn remains of his prey scattered around him - he had gotten into trouble again.
"Oh my, my spiritual beasts and spiritual fruits! I spent so much effort to raise them! And you, a beast, ate them up!"
"And mine!"
"If you ask me, a ferocious beast like Taotie shouldn't stay in our mountain! We should drive him out!"
The surrounding monsters were attacking Taotie fiercely. At the moment, he was not a notorious ferocious beast. He was just a trembling little beast that allowed itself to be bullied without any ability to fight back.
"Let's see who dares."
A voice was heard, and the sky and the earth darkened. A strong wind blew around. The monsters bullied the weak and feared the strong, so they turned into their original forms and fled in all directions.
After a while, the sky cleared up again. Bai Ze walked slowly towards them, his clothes fluttering and his expression gentle.
"You stole the spirit beast again?" Bai Ze squatted down and gently wiped the blood from Taotie's lips with his fingertips: "Whose family is suffering this time?"
Taotie turned his head away, his voice hoarse: "...They all hate me anyway, it doesn't matter if they hate me even more."
He was born between heaven and earth as a ferocious beast, and has been unpopular since childhood.
Because of his identity as a ferocious beast, everyone avoided him. Not only did he eat a lot, but in order to protect himself he was always ferocious and vicious. Gradually he became the only one left.
Only Bai Ze didn't care about these at all and was willing to be his friend.
Bai Ze chuckled and took out a crystal fruit from his sleeve: "Here, the spiritual fruit from Kunlun Mountain is much more delicious than those spiritual beasts."
Taotie was stunned, took the fruit hesitantly, took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
“It’s really sweet!”
But he quickly realized that Bai Ze had heard what the spirits said just now, and he quickly defended himself: "It was because that locust tree spirit said bad things about me that I punished him slightly. I didn't do anything else! Don't listen to them and hate me like they do!"
"No." Bai Ze said simply, ruffling his hair with his hand: "Because I know you're just hungry."
"Cut! One take!" Director Chen waved his hands excitedly, "Perfect!"
The audience applauded.
This scene is simple but full of emotions, especially the look of Su Leyun with lowered eyes and slight smile, which perfectly interprets Bai Ze's gentleness and clarity.
The shooting on the first day was tight and smooth. Perhaps it was due to the tacit understanding between Su Leyun and Chu Yanxiao over the years, the two of them didn’t need any running-in at all and were able to directly get into the state of the characters, and the shooting results were very good.
Director Chen was having a blast filming the scene, and at the end he waved his hand and said, "To celebrate our successful start of filming, I'll treat you all to dinner tonight. Let's have a meal together!"
At night, in the dinner box, the crowds were toasting each other. Director Chen, with a flushed face, raised his glass to Chu Yanxiao and said, "Boss Chu, I, Old Chen, have been filming for so many years, but this time it's for real..."
Before he finished speaking, the alcohol kicked in. Director Chen took a break and continued with his true feelings: "It was really enjoyable!"
He also did not forget Su Leyun: "And our teacher Su! You are my lucky star! My confidant! I am so happy to be able to work with you!"
Director Chen was completely drunk and finally announced that everyone should eat and drink well and have a day off tomorrow, so there is no need to worry about being unable to get out of bed after getting drunk.
This sentence was more exciting than any alcohol, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more lively.
Chu Yanxiao chuckled and responded to Director Chen's words, but his hands did not stop moving. His slender fingers peeled the shrimps skillfully, and soon the whole shrimps were neatly arranged on the plate in front of Su Leyun.
The actresses were extremely envious: "I heard that President Chu and Su Leyun are good friends who grew up together. President Chu is really like a warm and loving big brother next door, taking care of people like children!"
"What brother? Haven't you seen their CP super topic? They are clearly a couple!"
