Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.
Chapter 313: Visiting the Set
The two actors went over their lines with the other actors beside them while rehearsing their scenes according to the director's instructions. A heavy rain slowed down the entire crew's progress.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
The crowd looked on in confusion, only to see several staff members carrying some wet equipment and hurrying in.
It turned out that the heavy rain caused some of the temporary houses to leak, and some equipment and props were soaked and waterlogged.
Director Tan frowned and muttered a curse under his breath.
Shi Wanmeng and Su Muqing exchanged a glance, both worried that the filming process would be hindered again.
Director Tan took his phone outside and talked to someone for a long time. When he came back in, his expression had softened considerably.
"Ahem," Director Tan cleared his throat involuntarily as he looked at the expectant eyes of the crowd. "It's alright. We've already contacted the dispatcher. Once the roads are cleared, the equipment can be transported over. It won't affect our filming here. Everyone, please continue."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Director Tan's words and resumed filming.
Shi Wanmeng and Su Muqing also got serious and cooperated with the other actors, and the filming went relatively smoothly.
Since the shooting schedule was changed at the last minute, the light outside became worse and worse as night fell, and even using the lighting equipment didn't work well. Director Tan had no choice but to ask everyone to wrap up early: "I will announce tomorrow's shooting schedule in the group after dinner. Please pay attention."
Back at their lodgings, Xiao hope brought out hot soup for Shi Wanmeng and Su Muqing to warm up.
While Shi Wanmeng was drinking soup, her phone rang. It was a video call request from Huang Chen.
After the call connected, Huang Chen's face appeared on the screen, his eyes full of concern. If Wanmeng hadn't stopped him, he would probably already be on his way.
Shi Wanmeng explained briefly, and seeing that he didn't believe her, she turned her phone around to show him the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, another commotion came from outside.
Xiao hope ran to check and came back saying that rescue vehicles had passed by, which meant that the landslide section of the road had probably been mostly cleared.
Su Muqing sighed at the numerous chain reactions brought about by the rain, but thankfully the drizzle had stopped.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room.
When Shi Wanmeng opened her eyes, she found that the weather had cleared up, and she was in a great mood.
When he arrived at the film set, Director Tan was all smiles, a stark contrast to his furrowed brows the day before; he was full of energy.
Director Tan announced through a megaphone that, due to the improved weather, they would speed up the filming schedule to catch up on the parts missed the previous day.
Everyone immediately got to work.
Under the director's guidance, Shi Wanmeng and Su Muqing were in excellent form, going through the scenes one take after another.
During the intermission, Su Muqing looked at the distant green mountains and smiled, "You know what, the scenery is even more beautiful after the rain, and the air is much better than in the city. I hope there won't be any more setbacks in the filming later."
Shi Wanmeng deeply agreed; if this happened again, the director would probably be the first to break down.
However, things didn't go as planned. In the afternoon, large dark clouds suddenly drifted in, pressing down heavily on the film set.
Director Tan looked up at the sky, and his expression instantly turned grim.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Was the filming, which had just started to go smoothly, going to be interrupted again?
Although it hadn't rained yet, it was already getting dark, and the natural light was no longer sufficient for the shooting.
Before the director could have time to think it over, several large raindrops began to fall.
Director Tan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Find a place to take shelter from the rain first, and quickly move the equipment; we can't let any more water get in!"
The staff and actors on site sprang into action, lifting their equipment and rushing to nearby shelters from the rain.
Shi Wanmeng and Su Muqing squeezed under a makeshift shed, gazing at the sky and sighing.
Just then, Director Tan's phone rang, and a look of surprise appeared on his face after he answered it.
"Everyone, our new equipment and props are on their way and are expected to arrive tonight!"
Director Tan shared this good news with everyone, and the set erupted in cheers.
"We'll start by filming the indoor scenes. We'll film some of the nighttime scenes ahead of time. The lighting and technical team will adjust the settings first, and the actors can get ready."
The director laid out all the necessary preparations one by one. Despite the rain, everyone was in high spirits, and the filming proceeded smoothly.
Fortunately, it didn't rain for the next few days, and everyone was energized and worked hard to catch up on the schedule.
Even though the road had been repaired, Chi Yun didn't go back. In his words, it was pointless to go back and forth in just a couple of days.
In two days, Shi Wanmeng and Su Muqing will leave the set to film "Love Code," while the rest of the crew will continue filming. Due to the heavy rain a few days ago, the scenes here haven't been filmed as planned, so they'll have to come back when they return.
Seeing the apologetic expression on the coordinator's face as she came to inform them, Shi Wanmeng smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder: "It's okay. At first, it felt quite tough, but we've all gotten used to it over the past few days."
"That's right, and we're about to leave for a few days to catch our breath, while you guys have to stay here all the time, which is much harder than what we're going through."
After the staff members disappeared from sight, the two slowly walked towards their residence.
At this moment, the sun is setting, and the afterglow falls on the buildings on both sides of the street, giving the whole scene a faint golden glow.
The two walked along, discussing the upcoming night scene shoot.
Since the night shoot was expected to last a long time, if they couldn't have a proper dinner to replenish their energy, they probably wouldn't be able to hold on until the end. With that in mind, the two quickened their pace.
The two arrived at the door of their residence, and an enticing aroma of food wafted out from inside.
"It seems Brother Chi knew we'd have a tough day, so he gave us extra food." Su Muqing smiled as she pushed open the door. To her surprise, besides Chi Yun, Huang Chen and Xie Yunting were also sitting inside.
"Why are you here?" Shi Wanmeng was overjoyed when she saw the people in front of her.
"I'm here to visit the set. I heard you guys have it pretty tough here," Huang Chen said with a smile, putting down the food in his hand and waving to the two people standing at the door. He then glanced at Xie Yunting, who had no expression on his face, and said with a hint of disdain, "This guy is just someone I brought to make up the numbers. He's not important."
Xie Yunting rolled his eyes at Huang Chen and said, "Who begged me to come along?"
After speaking, his gaze lingered on Su Muqing's face for a moment before quickly shifting away.
The prepared food was packed into boxes, which Xiaoxi then delivered to the other actors and staff. The group sat down together to eat.
Huang Chen kept putting food on Shi Wanmeng's plate, and her bowl was full in no time.
"Alright, alright, that's too much," Shi Wanmeng quickly stopped them. "Actually, we're leaving tomorrow night, so you didn't need to come all this way."
"I was worried about your safety going home at night, so I came to keep you company today. We'll leave together tomorrow." Huang Chen's hands continued moving, his eyes full of heartache as he looked at her.
