Chapter 785: City of Youth Starts Filming (Update 1)
Ruan Qi, who was resting in the car, immediately opened Weibo after hearing this. After figuring out the whole story, she couldn't help but smile.
"Hang on for an hour before leaving. There's no rush."
Shen Wenqian looked at her sweet face and felt a pang of sourness in his heart.
Single people have no human rights. Not only do they have to be office workers, but they also have to eat tons of dog food.
It’s so annoying! Another day that makes me want to quit!
…
Ruan Qi had just rested for two days after returning to China when New Year's Day arrived as scheduled.
The Ruan family celebrated the New Year in Yuyuan with great joy. After three days of eating, drinking, and sleeping, Ruan Qi's acting teacher Fang Tong called.
"City of Youth" is about to start filming, so hurry up and pack your bags and get ready to join the crew.
City of Youth is the latest work by Fang Tong's wife, the renowned screenwriter Xu Mu. A few months ago, Fang Tong had already cast Ruan Qi as the female lead in the drama.
Ruan Qi did not disappoint teacher Fang Tong's expectations. She studied the script thoroughly early on and was ready to start work at any time.
January 5th is the day when the filming of "City of Youth" starts.
Ruan Qi packed her luggage a day in advance. When she was leaving Yu Garden, Nie Beilou called her to the study.
"This is the enhanced version of the tranquilizing pill I prepared. Take it. From today on, take one pill each morning and evening. Don't stop taking it."
Ruan Qi took the medicine bottle from Nie Beilou, opened the cap and took a look: "Master, what are you doing..."
"Didn't you hear music at the airport earlier that no one else could hear?" Nie Beilou looked up at her. "Your uncle Chu and I have researched this and believe it's unusual. It's very likely related to your mental strength and state of mind. Just in case, I've given you the most potent tranquilizing pills. Xiaoqi, this matter is serious, and you must take it seriously."
Ruan Qi heard music that no one else could hear, which Nie Beilou thought was very serious.
Because generally speaking, only schizophrenia patients can hear voices that other people cannot hear, which is what we call "auditory hallucinations".
However, Nie Beilou examined Ruan Qi and found that she did not have schizophrenia. Although her spiritual consciousness was in a mess, her mental strength was still strong. With such a strong mental strength, it was impossible for her to have symptoms of schizophrenia.
But Nie Beilou still felt uneasy.
He felt that the "Lullaby" was eerie. But since he couldn't hear the song, he couldn't tell what was so strange about it. So, to save his young apprentice's life, Nie Beilou spent several days refining the most potent tranquilizing pills using the finest medicinal ingredients, hoping to help Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi felt her master's good intentions and obediently put the medicine bottle into her bag.
"Master, don't worry. I'll be fine. That crappy lullaby can't scare me at all. I'm very brave."
The little girl tried hard to comfort her master, but Nie Beilou was worried and patted her on the head.
"Take good care of yourself." He said calmly, "Tell me if you feel unwell. Don't hide it. No matter how important your work is, it's not as important as your life."
…
After bidding farewell to Nie Beilou, Ruan Qi boarded a plane to leave the imperial capital.
The filming location for "City of Youth" was in the next city. Because it is a youth suspense drama, a large part of the plot will be filmed on a university campus.
The university location chosen by Fang Tong and Xu Mu for filming was Ming University in the neighboring city.
After getting off the plane, Ruan Qi took a taxi directly to Mingda University.
The set had already been set up. As soon as Ruan Qi arrived, she was grabbed by Fang Tong and put on makeup without even saying hello.
"Teacher, where is my wife?" Ruan Qi asked while letting the makeup artist put on her makeup.
Fang Tong: "She's outside checking the procedures with the staff. By the way, the first scene today is quite complicated. Can you handle it well?"
Ruan Qi glanced at the role arrangement handed over by Fang Tong and nodded confidently.
"I should be able to."
"That'll do." Fang Tong took a cup of soy milk, put a straw in it and handed it to her. "Don't be fooled by your master's wife's gentle and gentle nature on weekdays. She's actually very irritable on the set. Not only is she irritable, she's also a bit superstitious. We have to get the first scene of today's filming done in one take, otherwise she'll be irritable all day. You should adjust your mood and act well later."
An hour later, Ruan Qi finished her makeup and went to the set.
Everything needed for the opening ceremony was ready. Ruan Qi lit incense with everyone else and began preparing to film the first scene.
At the same time, the news of the start of filming of "City of Youth" was also posted on Weibo by the media.
Xu Mu is a well-known screenwriter in the circle. Every work she created is a classic. Before the filming of "City of Youth" started, the drama was highly anticipated by everyone. Now that it has finally started, netizens have enthusiastically pushed this drama to the top of the trending searches.
Also on the hot search list along with "City of Youth" is Ruan Qi, the leading female role.
[Top-notch screenwriters + top-notch actors, coupled with Fang Tong, a top-notch acting master and director, this drama is unbeatable! ]
["City of Youth" is considered the pinnacle of Chinese TV dramas, right? Ruan Qi's resources are incredible, even this kind of resources can be obtained!]
[Overseas, there's "The Lord of the Rings," and domestically, there's "City of Youth." After these two works were released, it was hard for Ruan Qi not to ascend to fame.]
[I'm so jealous! Ruan Qi is in the driving seat of domestic entertainment again this year! ]
Both Ruan Qi and screenwriter Xu Mu are considered top stars in the entertainment industry. Their combined power has skyrocketed popularity, with topics related to "City of Youth" remaining on the trending search list for an entire day.
However, at this time on the set of "City of Youth", several leading actors were in dire straits.
Just as Fang Tong said, Xu Mu looks gentle on weekdays, but turns violent once he starts working.
She scolded all the main actors who were filming, except Ruan Qi, and even scolded a young actor with good acting skills to tears on the spot.
"Did you study the script carefully before filming? Did you write your character bios carefully? If you can't even portray such simple emotions, you might as well pack up and get out!"
Xu Mu cursed with a loud speaker until his face turned red, and several young actors blushed with shame.
Director Fang Tong sat behind the camera, calmly waiting for his wife to finish venting before slowly speaking: "Alright, take a ten-minute break and adjust your state. Xiaoqi, come here."
Ruan Qi immediately put on her down jacket and ran over.
"Teacher, Master's wife."
Xu Mu looked at her husband's beloved disciple, and her ugly expression finally eased a little.
"Xiao Qi's performance was good just now," she said softly, suppressing her temper. "It seems that she really studied the script carefully, and her emotions were well expressed."
I got up late, so I will update one chapter first. The second and third chapters are being written.
