In fact, Ruan Mowei really didn't have time to answer Meng Yao's call. Just tonight, the director suddenly said that the investors would come to visit the set tomorrow, and asked them to be prepared and not to make any mistakes.
It was self-evident who the investor was. Ruan Mowei couldn't imagine that she would have to try to please Yan Qing like everyone else tomorrow, but reality told her that if she didn't, she would probably lose the show.
After being on the crew for so many days, she had already realized that this drama was aiming for an award. If the movie could win an award, then as the female lead, she should have no problem. This award was an important part of Ruan Mowei's career, and she couldn't give up.
After the director spoke, she mentally prepared herself for a long time and planned to stay away from Yan Qing except when filming, and never give Yan Qing any chance to humiliate her.
Because Yan Qing was coming to visit the set suddenly, he planned to make up for the filming progress that had been delayed for a long time due to a problem with the props tonight.
Don't let Yan Qing ask why it has taken so long and the progress is not even one-third. I must not give Yan Qing the illusion that my money has been wasted.
"Everyone, please work harder tonight to catch up with our previous progress! We'll give you all a snack after tonight! Come on!"
The director was shouting through a loud speaker, and when they heard the word "extra meal", some people in the crew's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is because the director was born in a grassroots family and is frugal in nature. He follows the principle of saving wherever possible, so in many aspects his work is not as good as those small productions.
However, although this director is stingy, all the movies he makes are excellent. Even if some of them do not win awards, they will be nominated. Just for this reason, many people flock to him.
"Come on. Props! I've already explained this scene to you, right? Especially the supporting actress. This is the scene where she turns evil. We must show her struggle, and how she's forced to choose darkness in the end. The look in her eyes has to be spot on! Alright, everyone, take your positions! Action!"
As soon as the director finished speaking, everyone instantly got into the mood. In this scene, Ruan Mowei needed to be beaten. She only had this one difficult shot, and it was also the last one tonight. After that, she could go back and rest.
However, I don't know what's wrong with the supporting actress. Every time she starts shooting, there are always problems. She either trips suddenly or gets her fingernails caught on her clothes. The shot that was supposed to take only a few minutes ended up taking two hours to complete.
Originally, Ruan Mowei could have finished filming at 10 o'clock in the evening, but because of the supporting actress, the director had to explain the scene to her from time to time, and because she was not in the right state of mind, the director finally asked her to rest for a few minutes and resume filming an hour later.
It was already past two in the morning when Ruan Mowei returned to the hotel. She had a play early the next morning and also had to read the script in the evening. As a result, when she woke up in the morning, she had to apply a thick layer of foundation to cover up the blue under her eyes.
Ruan Mowei went there early in the morning because everyone in the crew was on Yan Qing's side and Ruan Mowei didn't dare to provoke them. Therefore, from the first day, she was the first one to go there every day, and unless the director gave the order, she would be the last one to go back.
Not long after they arrived, they started filming. Because Ruan Mowei didn't get enough rest the night before, she was very tired both physically and mentally. The filming was very bad, so bad that the director scolded Ruan Mowei.
"What did I tell you last night? I told you to go back and read the script carefully, what did you do?!"
Ruan Mowei bit her lower lip at first and accepted the director's scolding, but when she looked up by chance, she saw that the people around her were looking at her strangely, and some were even pointing at her.
It was obvious that she went home late last night because the supporting actress didn’t perform well. She didn’t get enough rest. How could she shoot a good movie?
Ruan Mowei said this directly, with a stiff neck and eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"Huh? Did I get enough rest? I have to read the script when I get home. Do you know what time I go to bed every day? And who among you here doesn't do that? Why can't you do that? Are you just too delicate? If you're so delicate, don't get into this industry! I can't afford someone as delicate as you!"
After saying that, the director ignored Ruan Mowei and asked someone else to shoot the next scene.
Ruan Mowei stood aside with her lips tightly pursed. She originally wanted to wait for the director to bow his head on his own initiative, or for someone around to give her a way out, but neither situation happened.
Ruan Mowei waited for a while and felt too embarrassed to continue standing in front of everyone and let them point fingers at her, so she just rolled up her sleeves and went to rest aside.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Yan Qing finally arrived.
Yan Qing also had a sudden urge to see what filming was like. He had heard that the scene was very different from the TV series, and Yan Qing had been curious about this for a long time.
When she arrived at the place, she didn't ask anyone to notify the director and others, but walked into the set secretly.
Halfway through the walk, Yan Qing saw a woman wearing sunglasses sitting on a recliner in front of her, playing with her cell phone. She couldn't help but smack her lips, wondering which female celebrity she was. She looked so leisurely, she was so envious!
Yan Qing quickly took a few steps forward, wanting to see who it was, but when he got closer, he found that the woman looked familiar.
"...Who knows? I just doubt it..."
"Ruan Mowei?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Qing thought of a figure he hadn't seen for a long time.
Oh, yes, Ruan Mowei is the heroine of this drama. Probably no one else can be so comfortable except her. Yan Qing felt a little depressed for a while.
Because of Yan Qing's words, other people on the set also noticed Yan Qing's arrival.
"Miss Yan? Why didn't you tell me you were here?"
The director smiled and said "cut", then walked around Ruan Mowei and came to Yan Qing.
"I originally wanted to come here secretly, but I was afraid of causing trouble for you guys, so I told you so. Don't worry about me, I'm just taking a look. Actually, I'm just curious about how this play was filmed! Hehe!"
Yan Qing touched her head and waved her hand, asking the director to continue filming while she went to eat some melon.
Yan Qing and the director were chatting and laughing as they passed by Ruan Mowei, whose face was blue.
Originally, she was still worried about whether Yan Qing would do anything to her, but she never expected that Yan Qing would just walk past her as if he didn't see her. This was even more painful than if Yan Qing really did something.
The most unbearable thing is that you have made many response plans in your mind, but when you get to the person, you find that he doesn't take her seriously at all.
At this time, Yan Qing was looking at the pile of instruments in front of him curiously, and would go over from time to time to ask what they were used for. The director was also very patient in explaining their uses, and even demonstrated them himself without worrying about wasting time.
