Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 157 Liu Yifei meets a mysterious man

The crew of "In Time" had zero usable footage in the first two days of filming.

The scene is so chaotic!
At the wrap-up meeting the next day, Li Qiutang made a bold decision: "From now on, we will not shoot during the day, but at night."

The summer in Hengdian is too hot, and the temperature in the studio is five or six degrees higher than outside. The set is brightly lit, and the actors in the center position are even hotter.

Liu Ye took a photo, her face and body were covered with sweat, and it took more than half an hour to touch up her makeup.

Many staff members also suffered from symptoms of heat stroke.

"The machines and people can't handle it. The production team should make a plan and adjust the time."

When Li Qiutang tried to change the time, the first to disagree were the catering team. But Li Qiutang said, "Am I the only one in Hengdian shooting the night scene? There is no one in Hengdian to cook at night? Do you want me to contact the restaurant for you?"

The catering team leader stopped talking. Li Qiutang said, "Even if we shoot at night, we still need to prepare the water and drinks according to the amount for the past two days. I estimate that the temperature in the studio at night will be 34 or 35 degrees."

Then there was the assistant director in charge of the extras. It was difficult to carry out his work at night, but Li Qiutang did not give him the opportunity to make excuses. He wanted to shoot it this way, and the people below would solve the problem. Fortunately, there were not many extras used in green screen dramas, so this problem should not be difficult to solve.

After the summary meeting, Li Qiutang was still complaining about the weather in Hengdian: "This damn weather is too hot."

The crew's decision to sleep during the day and film at night was at least welcomed by the actors, because Hengdian was too hot in August.

At 7 o'clock the next evening, it was not yet completely dark in Hengdian, and a new day of filming for "In Time" began.

Liu Yifei is now considered Li Qiutang's girlfriend. She has also learned a lot of tips on how a girlfriend treats her boyfriend on the Internet, but she still doesn't dare to be too close to Li Qiutang on the crew.

It was Liu Yifei’s first time filming with Li Qiutang, and she discovered one thing: Li Qiutang’s work intensity was too high!

She thought she was a very energetic person who could work non-stop on filming without any problems, but after seeing how hard Li Qiutang worked, she felt that her job was too easy.

Li Qiutang has been working an average of more than 18 hours a day these days. The crew has things waiting for him to deal with every day. Even so, he still goes swimming for half an hour every three days.

Liu Yifei was curious about where he got so much energy.

Although she knew that this was the director's job and this was Li Qiutang's situation after joining the crew, Liu Yifei still felt a little distressed in her heart.

How can your body bear working like this?

Therefore, she felt that as a girlfriend, she should be considerate of her boyfriend at this time. Then, one afternoon, before work started, Liu Yifei invited Li Qiutang to have a massage to relax.

Li Qiutang smiled: "No, you invited me to go outside for a massage. Isn't this the crew's physiotherapist? So you didn't spend a penny, but I still owe you a favor."

"Oh, don't worry about it. I just see that you are too tired from work, so please relax."

"You don't press it?"

"I don't want to press. I'm seeing a physical therapist treating my cervical spine now. He will help me press." Liu Yifei sat aside and watched.

The crew's physiotherapy team consists of five people, who do general work such as massage, scraping and cupping.

This is the first time that Li Qiutang's crew has been assigned a physical therapy team, and today is also the first time.

While massaging Li Qiutang, the physiotherapist said to him, "The director's muscles are very stiff. You should take a good rest recently."

"I'm busy lately." Li Qiutang buried her face under the bed, "Here's the key point."

"The director is only in his twenties and isn't married yet. He must not strain his waist," said the physical therapist.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Liu Yifei also chatted with Li Qiutang: "You work eighteen or nineteen hours a day, even a strong body can't stand it."

"I'm fine."

The physiotherapist also said: "There is nothing wrong with the director's body, it's just that his muscles are tense. He just needs to rest and relax."

Li Qiutang said, "Look."

The three chatted with each other, and perhaps because they were too comfortable, Li Qiutang fell asleep soon, snoring softly. "You are tired," the physical therapist said softly to Liu Yifei.

The door to the therapy room was pushed open.

"Oh, Yifei and the director are here too." He was a photographer from the crew.

Liu Yifei hushed, pointed at Li Qiutang lying on the bed, and whispered, "She's asleep."

The photographer nodded and said, "I'll go to another room."

I didn't think too much about it. The technician was still there. It was normal for the heroine to run into the director while doing physical therapy.

When Li Qiutang woke up, Liu Yifei was still sitting next to him, but the technician had already left.

"I fell asleep. Why didn't you wake me up?"

Liu Yifei brought him a glass of water and said, "You are too tired. Get some more sleep."

There was no one else in the room at this time, and Li Qiutang started to get upset: "Why, are you feeling sorry for me?"

"Don't be so narcissistic!" Liu Yifei said stubbornly, "You are the director, I... I am here to express my condolences to you on behalf of the entire acting department."

"Just express your condolences, what time is it now?"

"It's half past six."

"Hurry up, we're about to start work." Li Qiutang put on his shoes and walked out. Seeing Liu Yifei still sitting there, he said, "Let's go."

Liu Yifei felt that her kindness was not rewarded as it should be by Li Qiutang.

Li Qiutang must have sensed that something was wrong with Liu Yifei, so she stepped forward and pulled her hand: "Hundreds of people are waiting for me. I'll take you to eat something delicious after work, okay?"

"kindness."

We filmed until 5 a.m. that day and finished work when it was already dawn.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Li Qiutang drove Liu Yifei to eat.

"Are you sick?" Liu Yifei started cursing as soon as she got in the car.

"What's wrong with me?"

"You said you were taking me to eat something delicious, so you meant taking me to eat breakfast. What's so delicious about breakfast?"

When you invite someone to dinner, you shouldn't treat them to breakfast.

"Is this breakfast? It's dinner after work." In "In Time", day and night are reversed, so what Li Qiutang said is not wrong.

But at seven in the morning, no one had a proper meal in the restaurant, so in the end Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei really sat at a roadside stall drinking soy milk, fried dough sticks and tea eggs.

Liu Yifei was not picky and ate happily. She urged Li Qiutang to eat quickly: "Go back to bed after eating. I am more sleepy than you." Liu Yifei had no scenes in the past few days, but she still sat next to Li Qiutang for nearly ten hours a day, watching the actors' performances and listening to Li Qiutang's stories.

After they finished eating, they returned to the car. Li Qiutang apologized to Liu Yifei and promised: "I will make good arrangements next time."

"I don't blame you." Liu Yifei said with a smile, "Go back quickly."

What the two didn't know was that the scene of them eating breakfast together was filmed in its entirety. Fortunately, neither of them had any intimate behavior. From the camera, it looked like just an ordinary meeting between the director and the actor.

But even nothing will be done properly and the media will make trouble out of it.

"Liu Yifei secretly met with a mysterious man. Liu Yifei participated in and starred in the science fiction blockbuster "In Time" directed by Li Qiutang, making her the most popular young actor. "In Time" is being filmed intensively in Hengdian. This morning, reporters photographed Liu Yifei having breakfast with a mysterious man somewhere in Hengdian. After a night of filming, Liu Yifei did not look tired at all. She joked and laughed with the man and looked very happy. Twenty minutes later, Liu Yifei took the man's car and left together."

I also specially selected a photo of Li Qiutang with her back to the camera.

Afterwards, some people said that Liu Yifei’s love relationship was exposed!
