Chapter 69: Bend or Not
After Lu Yuqi reported this to director Kipling Carter, Elena indeed became more restrained and no longer harassed Lu Yuqi during breaks. However, on the set, Lu Yuqi would often see Elena looking at him with resentful eyes, but Lu Yuqi would pretend not to see it.
"I didn't expect that our goddess Elena would also suffer a Waterloo."
"It's that Chinese boy who doesn't understand romance. If it were me, I would have praised my goddess to the sky!"
"So, your goddess doesn't like you, you lick dog!"
"Hey, don't blame me. If it were you, you would lick it even better."
Lu Yuqi was aware of the gossips about the male actors, but what could he do about it? He is gay and has no interest in women. Even if he is not gay, he would not like someone like Elena.
"Elena, why don't you give up? It seems that Lu is not attracted to you at all." Stephen, who has a rival role with Elena, spoke to Elena during a break in filming.
"I used the wrong method. Chinese people are very reserved. I was so enthusiastic that I probably scared him."
"Why? You want to try another approach?"
"I will definitely not give up!"
"Oh~ I wish you good luck!" Looking at Elena's firm tone, Stephen didn't know what to say and could only wish her good luck.
Since director Kipling Carter had talked to Elena and asked her to be more restrained on the set, Lu had already found him and told him that this was already a sexual matter.
After the harassment, Elena was devastated. She was always proud of her feminine charm, but Lu Yuqi called it a sex
Harassment!
Elena now wants to prove to Lu Yuqi that her charm is unstoppable! But let's change the approach.
Lu Yuqi no longer cared about the crew members' jokes. She just wanted to concentrate on filming her part and then return home as soon as possible! Driven by this motivation, Lu Yuqi performed beyond his normal level and almost always got it right in one take. This made director Kipling Carter very satisfied with him, and the consequence of his satisfaction was that he would hit Elena from time to time.
Lu Yuqi spread this atmosphere to the entire crew. After every actor was affected to some extent, the entire crew is now progressing much faster than expected.
Soon the crew arrived at the highlight of the show, which was also one of the few scenes left for Lu Yuqi.
"Lu, you will need to quickly drop down from here and run over there with Wia."
"Um."
"Lu, I want to shoot this scene in one take. Can you try it?" Lu Yuqi acted well, so director Kipling Carter started to make many other requests.
"Then tell me how I should act?" I faced the big green screen all day long, with no one around to tell me what was going on. I really didn't know what to act. And this really tests the actor's sense of belief.
"This is a battle, a pursuit. You are an elf, a race active in the forest. For you, acting in the trees is the same as acting on the plain."
"Yes, I understand that."
"Then we will shoot this scene later. You will quickly fall from here, and then you can freely try to land on these wooden stakes. I will let the wire cooperate with your movements. After that, when you land, I hope you can make a cool move."
"OK."
Lu Yuqi put on the wire and tried to walk along the route the director had instructed. The wooden stakes were very wide and there was no need to step on all of them.
"Weia and I will cooperate first."
"OK."
Lu Yuqi used the wire to rise into the air and began to repeat the same route. He descended quickly, tapping lightly on a high wooden stake in the middle to relieve the cushioning force of the fall, then nimbly jumped back and forth on several wooden stakes of different heights, landed on the ground, and naturally took out the short sword inserted diagonally behind his waist, performed a simple sword flower, and stayed there.
"Oh~~~ It's so beautiful! Good! Very good!"
"Photography, have you recorded everything? I hope you don't miss this shot!"
Director Kipling Carter hurried back to his monitor to check the footage. He thought it was just a try, but he didn't expect Lu Yuqi to perform so well. If he didn't get accepted, he would regret it!
"Oh~~~ Beautiful!!!!" Director Kipling Carter in front of the monitor kept praising loudly.
"Perfect. This lens works!"
Lu Yuqi thought it was just a simple try and she would do it again formally later, but she didn't expect to pass it! Director Kipling Carter was afraid that Lu Yuqi would not be able to capture the relaxed feeling just now, and this shot was completely usable and he couldn't find anything wrong with it!
"Lu, how do you feel? Can you still shoot?"
"no problem."
“
That’s great, let’s shoot these few shots next…”
Thanks to Lu Yuqi's outstanding performance, shots that director Kipling Carter thought would be a waste of time were able to be done smoothly in one go. Of course, sometimes shots that did not coordinate well with the wire master would have to be done a second time.
This saved the crew a lot of time.
Soon, Lu Yuqi finished filming all the shots for the second part of The Adventures of Jodi. When leaving the hotel to return home, Elena found Lu Yuqi and invited him, hoping that he could come here to develop. There are rich film and television resources here and it has a high international status, which is much better than developing in China.
"Elena, thank you for the invitation. But I think as long as I work hard, we will meet at the top one day."
“You Chinese are just so stubborn!”
"You should say this is our attitude of not easily compromising."
"Okay, one last question. What exactly is it about me that makes you unhappy?" We have been together for quite some time.
Lu Yuqi's attitude towards her was always consistent and he did not hold back. This made Elena doubt her own charm.
"No, no, no, Elena, you are a very good lady and very charming. It's me who is not worthy of you. You deserve someone better."
"But in my eyes you are the best!"
"Thank you for your compliment, but we are really not suitable for each other. It's not that you are not attractive, but I just can't appreciate your goodness."
"Well, since we are about to leave and you still don't accept me, it seems that I really can't attract you."
Lu Yuqi smiled and said nothing.
"Then I wish you good luck in your future development."
"Thanks."
Lu Yuqi didn't expect that he was so popular in the crew. As long as they were not filming in the crew and couldn't leave, everyone came to say goodbye to him.
"You missed a good girl." Stephen said with regret: "Keep in touch~ I want to travel to China in the future. I heard there are a lot of delicious food there, right?"
“That must be a lot!” Fortunately, Xiao Chen knows some cooking skills, otherwise eating white food every day would be a pain in the stomach.
Watching Lu Yuqi leave the hotel, Elena suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Stephen asked.
"He must be gay!" After Elena said this, her arrogant expression returned! No one can resist my charm! Unless he is gay!
