Chapter 1519 - 771: Riverside_3
Wen Bing nodded.
"Yuehai is quite audacious, actually turning it into a series. It should be pretty hard to adapt."
"It seems ’Deep Sea’ made them quite a profit, they tasted sweetness and now insist on collaborating with me again," Zhou Yun said.
"That’s the charm of a popular actress," Wen Bing laughed, "With you saying that, I feel even more apologetic for having you in such a low-budget film."
"You really are sorry, huh?" Zhou Yun rolled her eyes at Wen Bing.
Wen Bing simply laughed.
Wang Zilin listened to their banter and said resignedly, "Should I call Yao Yuanfeng?"
"Don’t call her, but make sure he knows about it," Wen Bing instructed. "Just let him know what’s going on."
Zhou Yun said, "Then I’ll go call Gu Huaichun and Yuk Chu."
These two were still very approachable.
"A cameo role? What role? How many days?" Gu Huaichun asked.
Zhou Yun said, "I can’t even say, Wen Bing hasn’t even written the script for what he wants to shoot, probably just two days."
"Two days?" Gu Huaichun was shocked, "Even to cameo a role with just one line takes me a day, what do you want me for two days?"
"It’s hard to explain, you’ll know when you come," Zhou Yun said, "Even I don’t know what we’re shooting."
"Alright, I’ll talk to my agency."
"Oh, right, the pay might not be much, maybe just a few ten thousand bucks."
This price to invite a top-tier popular male actor for a cameo in a movie was really a bargain.
Gu Huaichun chuckled, "Forget it, I won’t charge you guys."
"Come on, why not? It’s not like I’m paying," Zhou Yun said, "It’s not like Wen Bing is paying either."
Gu Huaichun: "Alright then."
The matter with Yuk Chu was easier to handle.
It’s just that she’s currently filming.
Yuk Chu said, "I’ll talk to the crew, see if I can free up two days."
Zhou Yun said, "Okay, don’t force it. If you can’t manage, it’s fine."
Yuk Chu: "No way, it’s Wen Bing’s film. It’s so rare for me to appear in his films, I must come."
"Haha, alright."
Though Yuk Chu was joking, it was also a very real situation.
For other actors, even a single line role in a Wen Bing film was hard to come by.
But if you were in this circle, knew Wen Bing, and needed a role, one call would settle it.
Helping each other.
Directors like working with actors they’re familiar with.
And actors certainly like working with directors they’re familiar with.
Especially Wen Bing, who typically didn’t write many roles except in big productions like "Two Tigers" and "Female Assassin" that went through many revisions, there weren’t many roles in a single film.
In the afternoon, a group moved the set to the riverside.
They specifically chose a spot with a stony beach.
Zhou Yun still didn’t know what she needed to do.
Wen Bing just let her find a bigger rock, sat down, and leaned against it in a daze.
First, they shot Zhou Yun.
Yu Zhiyang was waiting on the side.
It was hard to set up tracks here.
Yi Zhe personally held the camera to film Zhou Yun.
"The sunlight is good today, it looks nice when filmed," Yi Zhe said, "Especially the medium shot, this sunshine on her face, with the babbling brook beside her, it’s such a beautiful feeling."
Wen Bing said, "Xiao Yun, open your eyes, look at the sky in a daze, think about your deceased boyfriend."
Just one line.
Zhou Yun said, "Give me some time."
Wen Bing nodded, raised the megaphone, and said, "Maintain silence on set."
Everyone fell silent.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Zhou Yun gradually discarded her distractions, looked up at the sky.
She thought of Song Chi and the inevitable parting of life and death they would face.
A sudden tear traced her peaceful face.
Yi Zhe was the closest to Zhou Yun.
At the moment Zhou Yun’s tear fell, Yi Zhe’s heart seemed to be seized.
Zhou Yun was momentarily dazed, as if suddenly realizing she was crying, she immediately raised her hand to wipe it away.
She lowered her head with a slight smile.
Somewhat embarrassed.
"Hey, hey——" Yu Zhiyang’s voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked at Yu Zhiyang in confusion.
Zhou Yun did too.
Only Yi Zhe, still focused on filming Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun saw Yu Zhiyang pointing in front of her, saying, "Your vegetables!"
Zhou Yun turned and saw the basket of tomatoes she had carried earlier, somehow tipped over, several had rolled out, into the river.
Zhou Yun reacted suddenly, shouted in surprise, instinctively rushed to fetch the tomatoes that fell into the river.
Fortunately, the riverbank was a shallow area, not deep, the ones that rolled in hadn’t floated away, swept by the water.
But her actions were too quick, losing her balance, with a splash she sat in the water.
She let out a startled scream.
Yu Zhiyang was momentarily stunned.
At this moment, Wen Bing somehow appeared behind him, telling him, "Laugh, laugh at her."
Yu Zhiyang stunned again, realized, and following Wen Bing’s instruction, let out a snicker.
"Laugh louder!" Wen Bing said.
Yu Zhiyang burst into laughter.
At that moment, Zhou Yun finally heard Yu Zhiyang’s laughter.
She was somewhat annoyed and ashamed, looked up and glared at Yu Zhiyang on the slope.
"What are you laughing at!"
Yu Zhiyang’s laughter immediately died down.
He innocently defended, "The director told me to laugh!"
Wen Bing gave Zhou Yun a thumbs up, "Good, go help Zhou Yun up."
Immediately, someone went to help Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun was all wet.
"..."
In this weather, wet clothes were chilling to the bone.
Wen Bing quickly had someone bring a blanket to wrap Zhou Yun.
"You handled that part well just now," Wen Bing said.
Zhou Yun was about to say something to Wen Bing when she saw Yu Zhiyang next to her, looking tense and uneasy, gazing at her pitifully, seemingly afraid she’d be angry.
