"Sister Qin." Zhan Qin, Gu Yu's agent, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Gu Yu touched her nose sheepishly and forced herself to say, "Sorry, I'll hold back next time."
Caught between Zhan Qin and Gu Yu, assistant He Ke kept glancing at one and then at the other, helplessly continuing to play the peacemaker: "Sister Qin, let's talk about it on the way back to the hotel after filming today? Gu Yu still has a few scenes to film. And A Yu, watch your behavior. You're practically a veteran in the industry, don't give entertainment news any opportunities."
"I know." Gu Yu nodded, concealing the emotions in his eyes, and quickly reverted to the gentle, polite, and aloof Gu the Movie Emperor.
The break was short, and the next scene began soon after.
Filming continued intermittently throughout the day, finally wrapping up the last scene of the day around 3 a.m. The long hours of shooting left everyone mentally exhausted. Ye Chu drank half a bottle of warm water and sucked on a mint to try and clear her head.
"That's enough, everyone go and rest! We'll start at 7:30 tomorrow morning." Lin Mu was quite satisfied with today's results; everyone performed very well, and the effects should be even better with the special effects added later.
Finally free, everyone happily packed their things to return to the hotel to rest. Ye Chu fell asleep almost as soon as she got in the car. Although Cheng Lu's role was considered less challenging among the main characters in the drama, it was still not easy. She didn't have the same complex and contradictory inner struggles as the others, but she had to hold fast to her convictions and original aspirations and move forward unwaveringly in such a chaotic environment.
Ye Chu could sense that whenever she got into character, looking at all sorts of people, looking at the darkness in that world of killing... how did Cheng Lu manage not to be swallowed up by these noisy shadows? She asked herself again and again, then looked at Qing Zhi beside her.
In this world where death is a constant threat, Cheng Lu sees Qingzhi as her salvation, her reliance... Ye Chu felt she understood a little. At that moment, she felt she saw through Cheng Lu's heart. Qingzhi was her love, her light, and even more so, her faith.
In this world, if there is a reason for her to uphold justice, it must be because Qingzhi exists here.
Despite it being only a short sleep, Ye Chu felt as if she had a very long dream. She couldn't remember the details of the dream upon waking, but… she suddenly smiled, a feeling of happiness lingering in her senses. It must have been a beautiful dream.
After a simple breakfast of two steamed buns, Ye Chu headed to the film set. Today's scenes were still demanding, but fortunately, her understanding of the character Cheng Lu was improving, and the number of takes decreased with each scene.
Lin Mu sat to the side watching the screen, nodding occasionally in satisfaction. When there were any minor flaws, he would pick up the megaphone next to him and shout to the people in the arena.
Lin Mu is an easy-going director, but also an extremely picky one. Sometimes, if any of the extras' expressions or movements are not quite right, he will call "cut." Fortunately, everyone is well-trained and has figured out his temperament. The lead actors, extras, and even the crew members all concentrate on the shoot to ensure there are no mistakes.
The entire process of filming, post-production, and censorship for the film "Escape" is estimated to take about six months. Therefore, initially, there were only rumors circulating online about the start of filming.
A small media outlet broke the news online that director Lin Mu's new film "Escape" has started filming, with the male lead suspected to be award-winning actor Gu Yu. The article was accompanied by a blurry photo of Gu Yu and Lin Mu seemingly talking. This immediately attracted a large number of fans and casual observers.
I want Gu Yu to hug me: Although I really want to say no without an official announcement, the thought that our brother might really return to the screen makes me really hope it's true, sob sob.
When will Gu Yu marry me? I hope it's true! Why is there no news at all? I'm waiting for an official announcement!
Four steamed buns for one yuan: Director Miki always films quietly, but then suddenly drops a bombshell on us. I'm so nervous now.
Drink more hot water: Sister, same here. Director Miki, please give me some information, I really want to know.
Hamster eating sunflower seeds: Is nobody curious with me about who the female lead is? It's incredible that she gets to act alongside an award-winning actor.
Bursting Chicken Cutlet: Someone who can act alongside Actor Gu must be a veteran actress, right? I've compiled a list of actresses with top-notch acting skills and am checking them one by one! Seeking help from experts!
Next time: Just wait for the official announcement. Don't spread rumors before the official announcement!
Watering Miki: I agree with the comment above. Since it hasn't been officially announced, it's best to just wait and see, everyone.
...
Lin Mu glanced at the online situation and checked the current filming progress. He then notified the publicity team to set up a production crew account and prepare to release the official announcement.
So, netizens, whose curiosity had been piqued by the small media outlets, quickly discovered that director Miki had posted a Weibo post tagging an account. Upon checking, lo and behold, it was the official Weibo account of the "Escape" film crew!
Excited everyone clicked on the official Weibo account, followed it, and browsed its only post. "Escape Crew V: Late but here! The official announcement you've been waiting for is finally here~ Let's look forward to it together!" This was followed by a picture introducing the casting and a group photo from the opening ceremony.
When will Gu Yu marry me?: Front row seat! I was so shocked I spat out the water in my mouth. I didn't see it wrong, did I? Gu really is in it! Ahhh, sisters, come quick!
Gu Yu, who was sleeping next to me, exclaimed: "Holy crap! It really is me, Gu! Mom, come quick, your son-in-law is back on screen!"
Am I the only one who noticed that among all the familiar names, I haven't heard of Ye Chu, the actress who plays the female lead?
Xiaoxiao woke up early: I saw that Chu had retweeted this Weibo post and came over to check it out. Oh my god, it really is Chu! Everyone, go to my homepage to watch the video! Chu is truly a treasure girl!
Hamster Spirit: I came in and saw my first name! The female lead! Am I dreaming? My darling daughter has made something of herself!
I Don't Eat Fish: Don't miss out, everyone! Check out the amazing girl Ye Chu!
Doomsday: What the heck? I've never heard of this name before. Did they get into the group through some kind of trick?
Early Morning: What the heck is upstairs? Mindless hater? Director Miki's casting process has always been fair, just, and transparent, okay? Director Miki has already posted excerpts of the actors' performances during casting on his Weibo, go watch it yourself, okay? By the way, take this recommendation, she's definitely a gem.
...
The online situation was beyond Ye Chu's expectations. She had thought she would be criticized by netizens for ten days or half a month, after all, their statuses were not equal, and gossip was inevitable. Unexpectedly, she escaped the situation she imagined by relying on the good reputation of Director Lin Mu, and even gained a group of fans.
