Chapter 242: Construction officially begins!



Yu Jingya looked at the mess on the ground.

She said angrily, "Aren't you going to come over and fix my hair? Are you deaf? Didn't you hear we can't disrupt the filming?"

The stylist felt aggrieved, knowing that she was being blamed.

But she still thought Xu Yanyu did a good job.

She also hopes to finish this project as soon as possible and then switch to another production team.

The production team didn't pay much, and we also encountered a difficult person to please.

If she hadn't already signed a contract, she would definitely have run away.

The stylist asked in a low voice, "So... what kind of hairstyle would you like?"

"Find a headscarf and wrap my hair up!" Yu Jingya shouted, stamping her foot.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that Han Meng's suggestion was the only option she could think of at the moment.

The stylist quickly lowered his head, afraid that the sudden smile on his lips would be seen.

Yu Jingya gritted her teeth and said, "Han Meng is infuriating, and Xu Yanyu is arrogant too..."

She wanted to say something more, but then she noticed the dent in the table and fell silent.

An hour later, the film crew officially started work.

Xu Yanyu was the first to take the stage.

She plays Lin Wei, a female college student in her third year, who receives a phone call from her grandmother during a break between classes.

"Xiaowei... your mother suddenly had an accident and was admitted to the ICU..."

"Waaah, she's been in the hospital for ten days already."

"We're out of money, and your mother might die! What will Grandma do?"

Lin Meng, played by Xu Yanyu, was so confused that she almost fell to the ground.

"Grandma, I've got a way, I have a way..."

After understanding what had happened, Lin Wei hung up the phone.

Panic flashed in her eyes.

Soon, her panicked expression was covered by a layer of misty water vapor, and tears instantly flowed from her eyes.

An aura of despair emanated from her as she muttered to herself, "What should I do? Money? Yes, I need money! Where will I get the money?"

...

Director Yan looked at everything displayed on the camera screen and nodded in satisfaction. This crying scene was absolutely brilliant.

Xu Yanyu's acting skills were indeed as Xiao Wei had said; they were no less impressive than those old guys.

Han Meng, who was also playing a student, entered the filming area at this time.

"Xiaowei, what's wrong?"

"Kexin, something happened to my mom! I need money, I need lots and lots of money! Can you lend me some?"

Wang Kexin is Han Meng, who is Lin Wei's roommate in the movie.

"Xiaowei, you know, my mom only gives me that little bit of money each month."

"I don't have any money to lend you... I've wanted to buy a Chanel bag for half a year, but I still haven't been able to."

Wang Kexin refused before even hearing the exact amount.

Lin Wei sniffled, her voice trembling with tears, "My mother is in the ICU, and it costs more than 20,000 yuan a day..."

If she doesn't have money, she'll have to leave the ICU... and she'll die.

I already have no father, I can't lose my mother too.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kexin looked at Lin Wei with some sympathy.

She shrugged, "Twenty thousand is too much, and that's just for one day's expenses. You can't afford it."

Lin Wei burst into tears.

Wang Kexin quickly shouted, "Wait... I have a way... We have those numbers in the restroom, they recruit surrogates and sell sex..."

"I even kept some photos before, let me show them to you..."

If I don't keep photos, those phone numbers will just get wiped off with lipstick by some busybody.

"I was thinking of exchanging some money to buy a bag, but my mom won't give me any!"

...

This set of shots was completed quickly.

Director Yan said with satisfaction, "That's a pass!"

Xu Yanyu felt much more at ease at this moment.

Although Han Meng has a bad temper, her acting skills are still quite good.

He portrayed a vain college student so vividly.

Han Meng breathed a huge sigh of relief after Director Yan called her name.

She really didn't want to act with Xu Yanyu for too long, so she used all her skills in this one scene.

I'm afraid that if we have to reshoot the scene, Xu Yanyu will say something like, "Are you trying to delay my filming schedule?"

Han Meng jogged away from Xu Yanyu, as if she had been bitten by a snake.

Xu Yanyu looked at Han Meng speechlessly.

Is she really that scary?

Han Meng unfortunately met Xu Yanyu's gaze.

She quickly turned her head, pretending to call out to her assistant, "Bring me my water! I'm dying of thirst!"

Shaofei had been standing to the side waiting, with wet wipes and other items hanging on her body.

Xu Yanyu didn't stop Shaofei from wiping away the tears on her face.

Director Yan explained things to the male assistant director who had been standing by her side.

"From now on, we will hold them to this standard."

The assistant director looked at the screen showing the playback footage and said with difficulty, "Sister Yan, I'll do my best!"

He had been organizing the crew to set up the filming location and only just found out that Han Meng and Yu Yajing had just had a fight.

These two were already arguing even when Sister Yan was still on set. It's a miracle they could even work together while Sister Yan wasn't on set.

Yan Honglian looked at Xu Yanyu, who was touching up her makeup, and said to the assistant director, "Take good pictures! Don't be afraid, let Xu Yanyu see them after each take."

Director Yan was helpless; if she wasn't on set, only Xu Yanyu could handle the two of them.

"Okay. Sister Yan, are you going to the hospital again tomorrow?" The assistant director looked at Yan Honglian with concern.

"I don't need to go to the hospital tomorrow; I'll go in three days."

Don't worry too much, I can get through the first treatment, and I can get through the second one too.

"I will definitely film all the important scenes, and you can fill in the remaining smaller scenes for me."

After Yan Hong finished speaking, she wrapped the red scarf around her neck even tighter.

Her gaze drifted leisurely to the poplar trees that had turned yellow not far away.

As the autumn wind blows, yellow leaves flutter down and mix into the piles of fallen leaves that have long been trampled by pedestrians.

Everything returns to dust, to ashes.

She couldn't help but sigh, "I used to hate the poplar catkins flying around and getting into my nose and neck, but now I kind of miss them. Spring is truly wonderful; spring brings forth all things..."

She stood there, gazing at the distant horizon.

After a while, he added, "Life is short, but the meaning of life is to shine brightly within the limited time we have."

The assistant director's mouth moved slightly, and his hand holding the camera trembled repeatedly.

After a long pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "I will definitely help you make this movie a success."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," Yan Hong patted the assistant director on the shoulder.

She glanced at the time on her phone, turned around and called out to everyone, "We're all rested, let's get ready for the next shot."

In the following period, the crew rushed to film the scenes.

Han Meng and Yu Yajing were both irritated and annoyed by the hectic pace.

Every day, she either complains that her skin is so dry and peeling, or she regrets taking on this role.
