Zhou Yun was completely baffled.
The script did not write it this way.
Isn’t the script just about her coincidental meeting with Gu Huaichun?
Why is she also cheering towards the sunlight?
Zhou Yun asked, "Cheering?"
Lu Yuan said, "Express the optimism, positivity, and brightness in your heart."
Zhou Yun: "Do I have to cheer with my hands? In the middle of the street."
She felt very ashamed.
Lu Yuan said, "Are you shy?"
"The character you are playing is not a shy girl," Lu Yuan stated.
Zhou Yun: "...Alright."
Lu Yuan was indeed correct.
But what Zhou Yun did not expect was that Lu Yuan would be filming her the entire afternoon. Gu Huaichun directly went to Group B, filming his scenes at another location. They were all very mundane transitional scenes.
The entire afternoon, she filmed a total of seven scenes.
She changed into four different outfits, styled her hair three ways, wore three colors of lipstick, portraying happy, sad, stone-faced, melancholic, and various other emotions.
Lu Yuan finished filming all the upcoming walking scenes set in the same environment.
All were fragmented shots, no matter the outfit or the mood, there was only one standard, beauty.
Zhou Yun had countless criticisms in her heart, but did not know where to start, could only cooperate with Lu Yuan.
In the evening, Gu Huaichun was called back to film the scene of the two getting back together, returning to the place they first met.
This scene was written in the call sheet, and Zhou Yun had prepared for it in advance.
This scene shows her and Gu Huaichun in the throes of love, revisiting old places hand in hand.
Zhou Yun was a bit nervous.
To be honest, she had been filming all day, from morning until now; she hadn’t spoken a single line, it had all been about capturing various shots. Finally, she had lines to deliver.
Starting with a sweet scene.
Zhou Yun felt overwhelmed and at a loss.
After Lu Yuan explained the effect he wanted to Gu Huaichun and Zhou Yun, the rest was up to them.
Zhou Yun noticed that Lu Yuan cared greatly about the feeling he wanted, but as long as it didn’t deviate from the framework he envisioned, he didn’t care much about the details.
"How should I act?" Zhou Yun asked.
Gu Huaichun, holding the script and looking down at it, not looking at her, said, "How else can we act, just like it is written."
"Hand-holding, loving eyes, and acting sweet – just like that?" Zhou Yun confirmed with Gu Huaichun.
Gu Huaichun finally deigned to raise his head, looking at Zhou Yun, and said, "I’m different from you; I graduated from a professional academy. If you can’t act it out, go ask the director to teach you."
Zhou Yun was infuriated.
Gu Huaichun took Zhou Yun’s hand, turning into a gentle expression, and said, "Did work tire you out today?"
"Yes," Zhou Yun nodded dejectedly, "Feeling like I’ve lost my soul."
Suddenly, Gu Huaichun stopped.
Zhou Yun was startled.
This action was not in the script.
What was Gu Huaichun stopping for?
He gently wiped Zhou Yun’s forehead with his finger, saying, "You’ve gotten dusty."
Because it wasn’t in the script, Zhou Yun didn’t know how to respond and just froze.
"Alright, let’s go," Gu Huaichun said with a gentle smile to Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun understood the look in Gu Huaichun’s eyes; he was doing it on purpose, wanting to see Zhou Yun embarrass herself.
Zhou Yun snorted in her heart and unexpectedly hugged Gu Huaichun’s arm, leaning into him.
This scene definitely wasn’t in the script.
Gu Huaichun, startled, looked at Zhou Yun in shock.
Behind the camera, Lu Yuan furrowed his brows.
"I want to eat candied haws," Zhou Yun said her scripted line, lifting her head with a coquettish pout, her eyes filled with sweetness towards her beloved and also a hint of provocation.
You graduated from a professional academy?
Am I supposed to be scared of you?
Isn’t it just being intimate? Who’s afraid of disgusting whom?
"Will you buy it for me?" Zhou Yun hugged Gu Huaichun’s arm, shaking it, acting spoiled.
This line wasn’t from the script; she added it herself.
Gu Huaichun grabbed Zhou Yun’s hands, pulling them down from his arm with a sigh, as if helpless, and placed them back by Zhou Yun’s thighs, then raised his right hand, patting Zhou Yun’s head, saying, "Where can we find candied haws here? How about I buy you some ice cream instead?"
Gu Huaichun then put his hands in his pockets.
Zhou Yun stopped and didn’t walk forward.
This wasn’t an action in the script either.
