Chapter 62: The Female Lead Being Arrogant
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After leaving Yu Xiang’s office, Gu Ran found an internet cafe nearby and busied herself for two hours. In the end, she sent a compressed document to Ma Yunyun, then erased the traces on the computer and left the cafe.
Passing by a bakery, Gu Ran went in and bought two bags of toast. After that, she went home and disconnected from social media to go into seclusion, paying no attention to the outside world.
The next day, Gu Ran officially joined the cast of The Legend of the Immortals.
The filming location was mainly at a site. On the first day of filming, the director and the main production team held a simple opening ceremony at the entrance.
The table, which was made up with two square stools, was covered with a red sheet of paper. The props team contributed three plates, which contained cookies, chocolates, and other food that the crew had put together at the last minute.
As the female lead, Gu Ran was pulled to the first row to offer incense. After three bows, she looked up and saw from the corner of her eye that there was still a bottle of drink on the table. The cap was opened, as if someone had drunk it halfway and was forcefully taken away.
Gu Ran was speechless…
It was indeed a frugal production crew.
Even for the promotion, a substitute reporter from the film studios rushed there to take a few photos hastily. He received a red packet and left.
Before filming officially started, the production crew gathered together for a meal. It could be considered an official meeting.
The director’s surname was Zhou, and he looked ordinary. He did not have any work that could be called his own, but he was said to have a rather good temper.
The female lead, Gu Ran, was plagued by scandals and everything about her was online. There was no need to introduce her.
The male lead’s name was Meng Shen. He looked young with rosy lips and pearly teeth. He came from a talent show, but he was not famous. He did not look like he had any powerful background. Otherwise, with his looks, he should be more popular than a scumbag like Feng Cheng.
“Hello, Teacher Gu. I’m Meng Shen. Please guide me in the future.”
The young man was very polite and bowed to her.
Gu Ran was flattered and smiled. “Hello, Teacher Meng.”
The young man blushed and waved his hand shyly. “Teacher Gu, you’re too polite. You can just call me Little Meng.”
The male and female leads exchanged pleasantries. Director Zhou frowned as he watched from the side. “Our drama is going for the sweet and doting vibe. The two of you have a lot of emotional scenes in it. You can’t be so polite. You’ll feel distant when you’re on camera.”
Mene Shen nodded obedientlv. “This is mv first time acting. Teacher Gu. Dlease guide me.”
Gu Ran shrugged. “It’s my first time too.”
Director Zhou was speechless…
Two days ago, the production team had focused on filming the scenes of the protagonist’s parents. There was no need for the male and female leads to appear on set. Meng Shen obediently went to work early and left late every day. He sat beside the director and watched the performance of his seniors. Director Zhou was very relieved to see this. The little prejudice he had against the investor for using his money had mostly vanished.
It didn’t matter if he didn’t know how to act. The right attitude was also a relief. “Where’s Zhou Yao?” The director looked around and only saw the male lead, not the female lead.
Meng Shen belatedly realized that the director was looking for Gu Ran again and said, “Teacher Gu didn’t come today. She should be resting in the hotel.” The director was speechless…
They were both newbies who had just debuted, but their attitudes towards work were worlds apart.
Waving for his assistant, Director Zhou instructed him to get Gu Ran over. If she didn’t know how to act, she should be more hardworking. How could she possibly learn by staying in the hotel and reading the script?!
“I went there early in the morning. Gu Ran… said that she wanted to catch up on her sleep. She’ll come again if she has any scenes.”
Director Zhou was speechless…
It had only been a few days since filming started, and the female lead was already acting like a big shot! For some reason, Director Zhou began to worry about the crew’s future..
