After telling Fernina about his idea, Fernina confirmed it again and again.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Perhaps this would be more appropriate," Ayato said.

"Well, if you insist."

Funina respected Lingren's opinion and summoned Linghua and Xiawolei.

Whether to agree or not is not up to Ayato or Funina. We have to ask Ayahua and Xiawolei for their opinions.

In short, Ayato wanted to give the role of the gunslinger he played to Xia Wulei.

The reason was simple: he had come to Fontaine mainly to discuss cultural cooperation between Fontaine and Inazuma. This was his job, and he had heard that the procedures at Fontaine were very complicated.

Originally, Ayato wanted to use the break in filming to contact the Fontaine staff, but there was not enough time. Diplomacy between countries must be taken seriously.

That's why he resorted to this desperate measure.

That being said, only Ayato himself knows the truth.

"But brother..." Linghua almost forgot that they came to Fontaine with a mission.

"Don't worry, Linghua. You know I'm not really suited to acting jobs that put me in the spotlight. So, just leave the official duties to me."

"It's so hard to come to Fontaine, and the travelers happen to be here too. How about you spend more time with your friends?" Ayato said.

"...Is it really okay?" All the work was left to the brother, even though it was clearly their job.

"Don't think so, Ayaka. This film may very well become the beginning and proof of cultural exchange between Inazuma and Fontaine in the future, so there's no need to feel guilty. This is your 'job'."

All I can say is that Ayato knows her sister too well.

From a director's perspective, Funina also felt that the relationship between the two gunners in the original work needed improvement.

The brother in the story takes the lead in the events and is even a little overbearing, which makes the sister's role not prominent and fails to reflect the theme of relying on each other and supporting each other.

But if the main characters were replaced with sisters of similar age... this film would be worth watching.

Just now, Finina also saw that when Xia Wole was instructing Linghua on the gun movements, her cold and majestic temperament made her the perfect choice to play the gunner.

Of course, after saying so much, I still have to ask Xia Wulei's opinion in the end.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Wulei answered.

“…Okay, I’ll take this role.”

Of course, Funina was happy and immediately started to revise the script.

Lighting, props, costumes, etc. also began to be adjusted according to the changes in the actors.

Ye Yu strolled over to Ayato and said, "I have to say, you're quite good at making excuses. Now Qianzhi's problem of putting makeup on you is solved."

"Miss Yeyu, you're joking. I'm mainly here for work." Ayato responded.

"Just think of it as your official business. It's undeniable that you are a good brother." Ye Yu also took the opportunity to back down.

After revising the script, we were ready to start filming.

Finina briefly recounted the main points of Scene 1, Act 1, which was what happened while the two protagonists were still in the Count's house.

They were ostracized and scolded, but they still didn't understand what was happening. The key lies in the degree of their ignorance.

Xiawolei plays the elder sister Tulipe, Linghua plays the younger sister Iris, and extra Elan plays the mother Ruilian.

The first act mainly consists of the three of them.

Following Furninna's order, Paimon clicked the clapboard and Yingying officially started filming.

"...Sister, mother has been away for a long time." Linghua began to recite her lines after hearing the sound of the clapperboard.

"Maybe she was delayed because she took a detour to pick flowers. You know, mother likes flowers." Xia Wole also got into the mood.

There was a sound like a door opening, Elan entered, and Ying immediately gave him a close-up.

"Iris, Tulipe, I'm back."

I saw Elan in a maid outfit, holding something in her hand.

Linghua immediately ran forward, worry written all over her face. "Mother, you've been out for a long time this time. My sister and I are so worried."

"Sorry, sorry, I'm back. Look, these are your favorite apple pies." Elan took out two apple pies from his pocket.

It was obvious that the apple pie was leftover from the packing, and Elan also revealed the bruises on his hands where he had put on makeup.

Xia Wo Lei's eyes narrowed, and she asked, "Mother, what's with the bruises on your hands?"

Perhaps it was related to her profession, but the moment she met Elan's eyes, Xiawolei couldn't help but reveal a hint of the majesty of a special patrol captain.

Elan stuttered for a moment, hesitating and unable to make any clear words.

She felt like a prisoner on trial, her mind was blank, and she even forgot the lines that followed.

"Click!" Funina shouted to stop.

"Elan, your panic when facing the questioning just now was very well portrayed, but why was your performance so disjointed afterwards? Did you even forget your lines?"

Elan whispered:

"Excuse me, Director. When Miss Chavore and I looked at each other, I was immediately panicked. That panic wasn't an act..."

"Hmm...didn't catch the scene? Never mind, we can try again."

"Xiawolei should be a little gentler. This is not an interrogation of a prisoner." Funina pointed out the problems between the two sides.

After Xiawolei nodded, the first scene began shooting again.

Xia Wulei: "Mother, what's with the bruises on your hands?"

Finina: "Crack! This one is too gentle again. It needs to be more powerful."

Start shooting again.

Elan: "I...I, ah, by the way, I touched it accidentally, yes, that's it."

"—Crack! This one isn't emotionally rich enough!"

"Elan, Tulipe is Ruilian's daughter. She shouldn't be afraid of her own daughter. Let's do it again!"

Funina shouted.

Start shooting again and again.

click!

Click...

Click.

Click! ! !

After shooting four or five takes in a row, they still couldn't get it right, and Funina's voice became hoarse from shouting.

Either Elan couldn't carry the show, or Xia Wulei's emotions were not strong enough.

Xia Wulei is full of emotions, but Elan can't keep up with the performance. This is an unsolvable vicious circle.

It gave Funina a headache.

"...Uh, my hands are sore." Paimon shook his hands.

She was not so keen on taking notes on the spot. This job seemed easy, but it was not.

In comparison, Ying's photographer is better.

You can control the overall situation just by operating the camera.

"Director, why don't you find someone to replace me? I really can't handle Miss Xiawolei's role."

"Every time I meet her eyes, I feel like a prisoner being interrogated." Elan covered his head.

Even when recalling it outside the play, Elan still felt a little uncomfortable.

"...But the filming has already started. Where can I find someone to replace you in a short time?" Funina also had a headache.
