Around 2 p.m., with the help of the makeup artist, Gu Mu had a terrible makeup done and put on her battle costume.
He, along with his agent, director, actors, and a large group of others, went to the waterfall to prepare for filming.
Gu Qingqing followed along, but stayed obediently by Qiao Ziyang's side, not daring to move around too much, for fear of disturbing Gu Mu and the others while they were filming.
Knowing that she was Gu Mu's sister, most of the crew treated her with great courtesy.
After all, everyone knows he has a powerful nickname: the doting brother who spoils his sister.
If some fool were to bully her, he'd probably cause a huge scene and quit filming altogether.
The second female lead in this drama is a third-tier actress named Yao Jiajia. She has some fame, but she can never compare to the female lead, who is a top-tier, popular actress named Lu Qi.
Gu Mu was dressed as an ancient general. He floated in the water, drifting with the current.
The second female lead, Yao Jiajia, dressed in coarse linen clothes and looking like a village girl, was washing clothes by the river when she noticed a person floating on the surface. Startled, she screamed and nearly let her clothes float away.
She had to reshoot this three-minute scene three times, and it took her a full twenty minutes to film it.
This broke Gu Qingqing's heart. As soon as Gu Mu came out of the river, she rushed over and wrapped his body in a dry towel.
Even though the sun is still strong and the temperature is high, soaking in water for half an hour would cause problems for even the strongest body.
"Second brother, how are you feeling? Are you cold?"
“It’s alright, Second Brother can handle it. He went swimming several times to prepare for this scene and has already gotten used to being in the water for a long time.”
Gu Mu smiled and then noticed that his lips were a dark purple.
Gu Qingqing didn't believe him because the river water was flowing down from a waterfall and was extremely cold, the kind that chills you to the bone.
Even soaking your feet for ten minutes would be uncomfortable for most people, let alone him soaking his whole body in water for half an hour.
She hated Yao Jiajia so much. Such a simple scene took twenty minutes to film and was cut five times.
If she had the chance, she would definitely teach Yao Jiajia a lesson.
Because she felt that she did it on purpose. The second female lead only had two lines at the beginning, and her actions were just washing clothes a couple of times, then going into the river to pull the male lead ashore and drag him home. What's so difficult about that?
However, this is not entirely Yao Jiajia's fault. The director also made some mistakes, being too much of a perfectionist, which led to her having to film five takes before it was approved.
Gu Qingqing and Gu Mu returned to their temporary resting place and first had him change into clean clothes.
After a half-hour break, we'll continue filming the next scene.
Knowing that he was going to film a scene where he falls into the water, she had already boiled a bowl of ginger soup in a small electric kettle.
"Qingqing, you're so good. Your second brother is so lucky." After drinking a big bowl of ginger soup, my throat and stomach felt a little spicy!
But Gu Mu didn't show it, nor did he show any disgust.
She learned to take care of him, and although she was a little inexperienced and her care was not tender or gentle enough, it was still a hard-won happiness for him.
"Mmm." Praised, Gu Qingqing lowered her head shyly, her smile bashful.
"I'll go get you something to eat, Second Brother, wait for me." She had instructed the kitchen of that small hotel to make brown sugar and egg soup, and she should be at the door by now.
She gave him this to drink, which was naturally good for his health. He sometimes had low blood sugar, and brown sugar soup was the best thing for him.
After eating a bowl of brown sugar and egg soup, Gu Mu's stomach was already quite full. He lay down on the recliner to rest, preparing for filming in half an hour.
Gu Qingqing didn't dare to disturb him, so she sat to the side and fanned him to make him more comfortable, without making a sound.
It's the end of June now, and the weather is already very hot. But because we're filming outdoors, there's no air conditioning or fan, so we can only use a fan to cool off.
Fortunately, there are trees everywhere, so it's still relatively cool.
Half an hour later, Gu Mu changed back into his wet costume and immediately went into character. The second female lead was exhausted halfway back with him, and they happened to run into the female lead. Together, they dragged him back to the second female lead's house.
The second female lead gave the female lead money to find a doctor to treat him. She wanted to change his clothes, but was mindful of the difference between men and women. Just then, the childhood sweetheart from next door returned, and she asked the neighbor to help him change into clean clothes.
Throughout this process, the female lead performed exceptionally well, but the second female lead performed poorly and the scene was blocked seven times.
This time, Gu Mu was really angry. After changing into clean costumes, he didn't go to the film set to film, but instead took Gu Qingqing back to the small hotel to rest.
Anyway, it's already dark.
There are so many mosquitoes outside, they're terrifying enough to bite people to death.
Gu Qingqing was also very angry. She realized that Yao Jiajia had taken advantage of the filming opportunity to openly grope Gu Mu.
She even wanted to chop Yao Jiajia's hand off at that moment.
Blinded by male beauty, she dared to grope him even during work hours, with so many eyes watching.
When Gu Mu left, Yao Jiajia panicked a little, but she felt it wasn't her fault; it was he who caused trouble and wanted to leave.
"Director, now that Mr. Gu has gone back, I should go back too. There are so many mosquitoes, they're biting me to death."
"You!" This backfired, infuriating Director Yang.
If it weren't for the fact that she was handpicked by the investors to be the second female lead, he really wouldn't want her to act in this drama under his direction.
If things continue like this, this film will probably be canceled. Even with an award-winning actor like Gu Mu in the cast, it won't change the fact that it's destined to flop.
Some actors and staff on set secretly stared at Yao Jiajia with unfriendly, even hateful, gazes.
They all saw Yao Jiajia's behavior today; she dared to lay a hand on Gu Mu. She's asking for it.
Not only are they unprofessional, but they're also dishonest and irresponsible; their character is utterly rotten.
