Chapter 387: Hotel
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Erin was actually assigned to Director Wei Ji t s production team.
Although Lu Zhen and Erin were in the same production team, one of them was the main lead, and the other was a small supporting role without any lines. There was no need to communicate.
The filming time for the script was three days. The filming would end on the third day, so time was still very tight. The filming of the third episode and the stage performance of the second episode were completely different in nature.
Filming was equivalent to filming a micro movie. Empty shots, changing scenes, lines, props, and other aspects had to be considered carefully. Every detail that would eventually be presented in the movie could not be ignored. The difficulty increased in all aspects.
In the past three days, the production team had arranged a hotel for the actors. The schedule was almost the same as when they usually filmed movies.
Director Wei Ji did not waste any time. He started filming on the first day. However, he first filmed the supporting scenes and some empty scenes.
Director Wei Ji specially found Lu Zhen and Yang Na and told them not to come to the production team in the afternoon. They could go back and study the script. If necessary, they could practice together first. The next day and the third day were all important scenes for the two of them.
After Director Wei Ji left, Lu Zhen sighed softly. “Director Wei’s tone can directly act as a robot.”
Yang Na almost laughed out loud. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon. She suggested, “Do you want to have a meal together? Let’s read our scripts in the afternoon. I’ll look for you tonight and we can discuss it.
What do you think?”
Lu Zhen had no objections. The two of them found a cafeteria on their phones. When they arrived at the cafeteria and were waiting for the dishes to be served, Yang Na couldn’t help but ask Lu Zhen, “By the way, which role did you want to play in the beginning?”
“l didn’t think about it at that time. 1 think these two characters have their pros and cons,” Lu Zhen replied frankly.
Yang Na nodded. “1 think so too.”
Although she said that, she knew that she was still biased towards the role of an artist. However, before she came to the cafeteria to eat, she had also finished reading the script. At the end of the script, there was a highlight moment that belonged to the robot, “Little Trash.” That scene was very important. It could even be said to be the core of the entire script.
If that scene was done well, the character of the robot would definitely be as infectious as the painter. In the early stages of the story, the painter’s part had always been more important than the robot, but in the last scene, the robot “Little Trash” carried the core theme of the script.
From a certain perspective, Director Wei Ji was quite fair when he wrote the script. The two of them returned to the hotel after dinner. The room assigned to them by the production team was on the same floor, probably because they were on the same set.
“See you tonight then.” Yang Na and Lu Zhen parted at the elevator door.
“See you tonight.”
When she arrived at the room, Xiaoxiao had already made the bed.
Considering that Lu Zhen must be very busy during the filming process these few days and might have to read the script at night, Xiaoxiao even placed an eye-protecting lamp on the table. She was very careful.
Lu Zhen changed into casual and loose clothes, took out the script, and began to read it seriously. She held a red pen in her hand and circled out the important content from time to time. Occasionally, she would write her experience or doubts on the blank space beside her.
Almost two hours later, she closed the script and began to search for information online. When she felt a little hungry, she looked outside and saw that it was already dark.
Lu Zhen picked up her phone and sent a message to Yang Na. “Have you had dinner?”
Yang Nuo quickly replied, “Not yet. Do you want to go out and eat?”
“I’m too lazy to go out. Let’s order takeout. Do you want to come to my room directly?”
“Alright, give me ten minutes.”
In less than ten minutes, there was a knock on the door. Lu Zhen opened the door and Yang Na walked in with a tablet and script in her arms. Lu Zhen pointed at the bed. “The sofa in this hotel isn’t very comfortable. You can sit on the bed.’
Yang Na sat on the bed. Lu Zhen took out her phone and was about to ask Yang Na what she wanted to eat when Xiaoxiao called. After picking up the call, Xiaoxiao’s excited voice sounded. “Sister Zhenzhen, President Song has sent someone to bring you food. Wait for me for a while. I’ll be there soon!”
Lu Zhen was stunned, and so was Yang Na. A moment later, Yang Na deliberately coughed. Xiaoxiao immediately realized that there was someone beside Lu Zhen.. She immediately restrained her voice and asked cautiously, “Sister Zhenzhen, is there anyone else in your room?”
