Yu Shishu didn't dare to look at Ye Zhiwei, but his gaze would still involuntarily follow her. He didn't dare to be too obvious, and he didn't want Ye Zhiwei to notice his little actions. He thought he was being very subtle, but he wasn't really subtle, because Ye Yingying could feel Yu Shishu's gaze on her several times.
The movement is very small; you can only catch a glimpse of it occasionally out of the corner of your eye, but if you pay close attention, you can notice it.
Ye Yingying naturally didn't point it out, and Ye Zhiwei wouldn't care about Yu Shishu either. In Ye Zhiwei's eyes, Yu Shishu was Ye Yingying's director, and currently considered half of Ye Yingying's boss. He was very demanding when filming, and sometimes his words were really harsh, but in private he was very shy. He was a great director with a very different personality, but Ye Zhiwei didn't think much of it.
This is a very large classroom where some general education teachers give lectures. Yu Shishu borrowed such a classroom.
Yu Shishu seemed somewhat distracted while holding the camera.
Ye Zhiwei led Ye Yingying for a few steps. The classroom was spacious and bright with many seats. The back row of seats was basically a row of desks and chairs on a single flight of stairs. There wasn't much to see, but Ye Yingying might be filming a scene later, so Ye Zhiwei wanted to find the best angle for her to film the scene.
This scene was actually a speech given by the male lead, a murderer who had led Yingzi to become addicted to the extravagant and decadent life of a wealthy family, at Yingzi University. It was a scene that the screenwriter added on the spot.
The murderer gave a lecture at Yingzi University's law school, and Yingzi skipped class to watch.
This scene is actually quite ironic.
The lecture was about criminal psychology, and the students listened attentively in the classroom, with books such as "Criminal Psychology" and "Criminal Law" on their desks.
The male protagonist, a murderer, launches into a grand discourse. Finally, he stands arrogantly on the podium, looking down at this group of future elites who will work in the legal profession, investigative agencies, prosecutorial agencies, judicial agencies, and so on. He says, word by word, "Some people have categorized the frequency of crime. One phenomenon is quite interesting: it divides people into several tiers based on their wealth, forming a pyramid. The lowest tier has the highest crime rate, while the highest tier has the lowest. Some people have brought up this research and are talking about it at length, claiming that the poorer a person is, the more likely they are to commit a crime."
He chuckled at this point and continued in a very soft tone, "Is this research of any value? No, it has no value. So why is the crime rate at the top of the pyramid so low? The reason is that even if people at this level commit murder or arson, it is very difficult to be discovered."
Here, Yingzi, played by Ye Yingying, sits at the very bottom. She was once an eyewitness and a figure of justice who was repeatedly pleaded with by the victim's family. But now, at the devil's invitation, she stands in hell, looking at the man who led her to hell with a fascinated gaze. She has been completely assimilated.
...
This added scene is actually quite dramatic, and if filmed well, it can be a very thought-provoking segment.
"It sounds like the focus is still on the male lead and you. Why not just focus on filming the two of you?" Ye Zhiwei asked curiously after hearing Ye Yingying's explanation of the added scenes. "Why do we need students in the shot? I feel like we extras can just be filmed briefly as background. There's absolutely no need for close-ups."
Ye Yingying said with a smile, "Because our Director Yu has his own selfish motives."
Selfish motives? What selfish motives?
Ye Zhiwei didn't quite understand what this meant, but based on her understanding of Yu Shishu, she automatically filled in the blanks with Ye Yingying's meaning: Yu Shishu has always been capricious when it comes to filming. He probably thinks that close-up shots of students would make the scenes more realistic and vivid. Anyway, if he thinks that a shot needs to be added, then there must be a reason. The thoughts of artists are not something that ordinary people like you can understand.
After thinking about it for a moment, Ye Zhiwei suddenly realized: Oh, so that's how it is.
When Ye Zhiwei looked at Yu Shishu again, she immediately felt that Yu Shishu was even more out of step with the masses, and was definitely a lonely and solitary genius director.
Yu Shishu didn't try to talk to Ye Zhiwei again. He found that he would make mistakes whenever he spoke in front of her, and the more nervous he was, the more likely he was to say the wrong thing. Her reactions always made him feel a little disappointed. In the end, he went to the podium in the classroom. In addition to occasionally stealing glances at Ye Zhiwei, he would also take out his camera. He seemed to be taking pictures of the entire classroom, but in fact, the lens always lingered on Ye Zhiwei. He didn't dare to take any more pictures. The photos he had just secretly taken were already tainted with selfishness, and he felt very guilty.
The three of them stayed in the classroom for about fifteen minutes before the rest of the film crew arrived.
Ye Yingying came early to scout out the location and also needed to put on makeup.
Ye Zhiwei took advantage of this time to call and reserve afternoon tea.
Around 1:30 p.m., the students who were participating in the extras arrived one after another. The assistant director came over to explain the scene to the extras and gave each of them the script for today's scene.
The law students were very enthusiastic, especially to see the famous director Yu Shishu up close. If their advisor hadn't given them permission beforehand, they would have really wanted to take some photos.
However, since Yu Shishu was unwilling, the law students didn't secretly do anything underhanded. They were quite self-disciplined and easier to manage and guide than the assistant director had imagined.
As all the students entered, the atmosphere became lively. The assistant director first showed everyone the script, and then verbally explained the plot to them.
Their job is simple: just listen attentively and look on with admiration when the male lead is lecturing on stage. The shot won't be long, and they don't have much to do.
Worried about making mistakes, the assistant director prepared to arrange for everyone to rehearse the scene again. After several rounds of rehearsals, when the positions were almost arranged, Ye Zhiwei's afternoon tea arrived.
Not only did the actors and crew members receive a set, but even the one or two hundred extras who came to work as extras got one.
Ye Zhiwei's classmate, a girl who is obsessed with looks, also joined the extras. She was shocked when she found out that Ye Zhiwei was actually from a wealthy family, because she was one of the girls who had asked Ye Zhiwei for the chocolates she brought and was refused.
When Ye Zhiwei was exposed as Ye Qingcheng's daughter, some classmates commented jokingly that Ye Zhiwei was the stingiest rich person they had ever met. The little fangirl probably saw that joke too. Every time she sees Ye Zhiwei, besides praising her beauty, she also adds, "If only she were a little more generous! You're so rich, why can't you be more generous? All I wanted was a bite of the dessert you brought! I hadn't even finished asking before you stuffed the rest of the cake into your mouth. It's outrageous!"
This time, the little fan girl finally experienced the extravagance of a rich heiress. She bought so many afternoon tea items in one go, and each person got one. The little fan girl was shocked when she opened the exquisitely packaged pastries and said, "The handmade cream puffs and lemon tea here are very expensive, and you have to queue to buy them. Although these two shops are expensive, they are still very popular. It is said that the rich people in the villas next to our school often go there to patronize. The owners say they don't do takeout business."
The packaging was exquisite, and the box containing the cream puffs was very secure. When the box was opened, the cream puffs inside were completely intact. Even the top layer of matcha ice cream and hazelnut chocolate shavings that had been cut in half and filled with the cream puffs were all intact. The entire cream puff was perfectly preserved.
Ye Zhiwei smiled, then said confidently to her little fangirl, "Because I offered three times the price."
The young fan was shocked. She put her afternoon tea on the table, squatted down, and hugged Ye Zhiwei's leg tightly, crying, "Beautiful and charming rich sister, please take care of me!"
