Zhou Yun was startled by Lu Yuan’s cursing as well. At that moment, she just happened not to be in the resting area, but sitting with Yin Zhou in a corner of the set, quietly discussing how to act in the next scene. Turning her head to look, Zhou Yun saw Xu Siyao standing there dumbfounded, her head bowed in embarrassment.
Immediately, an assistant director came out to smooth things over and took Xu Siyao back to change her clothes and redo her makeup.
This delay lasted for half an hour. When Xu Siyao returned to the set, her eyes were still red.
Zhou Yun was speechless after learning the whole story behind Xu Siyao’s sudden change of makeup and style.
"Is this her first time acting? Even if she was dissatisfied with the previous styling, she should have followed through with her scenes as planned. This is common sense. Doesn’t she know that? Why didn’t the people around her remind her?"
Zheng Xiaojue couldn’t help but revel in Schadenfreude, saying, "How can they remind her? I heard that once when her assistant advised her not to drink cold water, she scolded her assistant, accusing her of not wanting to see her happy."
Xu Siyao’s incident became a hot topic in the crew.
Even Zhen Xiaoxiao gave her a teasing smile when she saw her and said with double meaning, "Xiao Yun, your junior sister here is quite a handful."
Zhou Yun just smiled and didn’t reply.
Ever since the incident with Yu Yhan, Zhen Xiaoxiao’s demeanor on set could be summed up in four words: as proud as spring.
Zheng Xiaojue privately described her as a victorious hen, arrogantly surveying her peers.
The description made Zhou Yun laugh so hard she clutched her stomach in pain.
Both Zhou Lan and Song Chi had said that this matter wasn’t over yet, and there would be more to come.
But Zhen Xiaoxiao’s attitude was just a microcosm of the crew’s feelings.
It’s been some days since Xu Siyao joined the crew, and her reputation had declined day by day, and she seemed either unaware or indifferent even if she heard or sensed something.
She would complain that the makeup artist did a poor job on her, but when Lu Yuan scolded her in front of so many people, she just bowed her head and took it silently, not talking back at all.
She was cunning at heart.
No matter the chaos in the crew, Zhou Yun just focused on her own acting, and in a blink of an eye, it was the broadcast day of the second episode of "After the Scandal".
That night, the director went to edit the footage, working on a rough cut, as there was an upcoming TV festival where Yuehai Network planned to bring materials for participation and potentially sell the show.
The distribution of a film or television work is not as simple as just airing on a platform or television station.
Only the assistant director was left to shoot with Team B.
Zhou Yun, Gu Huaichun, and Yin Zhou had a rare night off.
Xu Siyao, however, was less fortunate. Because she joined the crew late, Huang Zhong, worrying about delaying the shooting schedule, had the planner schedule more of her scenes in advance, so when others could rest, she had to continue shooting on the set.
Previously, Zhou Yun had promised to treat Gu Huaichun and Yin Zhou to dinner, so that night they made a reservation and went out together.
The photographer from "After the Scandal" also joined them.
Naturally, the agents of Gu Huaichun and Yin Zhou were happy to agree. Given the popularity of the show, Gu Huaichun and Yin Zhou were happy to get some screen time and exposure.
Only Zhou Yun privately tempered their expectations, saying, "Don’t get your hopes up about the footage making it to air, you know, I only had fifteen minutes in the first episode."
Gu Huaichun looked disdainful, as if it was beneath him, "Who cares."
Zhou Yun was already used to Gu Huaichun’s disdain and thought nothing of it.
When the camera was around, there were many things they couldn’t talk about.
To make conversation, Zhou Yun asked about their plans after this.
Gu Huaichun said, "Straight to the next set after this one. I have to meet with the director first in a few days."
Yin Zhou said, "I can take a half-month break, then I’ll join another crew."
"That’s great, I hope you guys shoot to fame. Don’t forget to give your little sister here a hand in the future," Zhou Yun said.
Usually, this was the moment someone would respond with, "The ones who should be saying this are us."
But Gu Huaichun was too proud and never felt inferior to anyone, he snorted and said, "Dream on."
"..." Zhou Yun rolled her eyes.
Yin Zhou laughed and said, "I don’t even know if I’ll continue in this line of work in the future, I’m doing this now because it interests me, I wanted to try it."
"If you’re not going to stay in this line of work, then what do you plan to do?" Zhou Yun asked Yin Zhou curiously.
Yin Zhou was silent, and Gu Huaichun interrupted, "What else? He’ll be dragged back by his dad to take over the family business."
"What family business, it’s just a small factory," said Yin Zhou helplessly, "Don’t give people the impression that I’m a rich second generation."
Gu Huaichun shrugged.
Zhou Yun said, "But you’re so good-looking, it would be a pity not to continue as an actor."
Yin Zhou smiled, "I’ll take that as a compliment."
"What about you? Why did you want to get into this industry in the first place? You didn’t even study this," Gu Huaichun suddenly asked, "You’re a talented graduate from B University, why are you competing for jobs with us?"
