Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 1051 - 611: Paparazzi in the Hospital

After a scene was finished, Kang Xin shouted "Cut." He took off his headphones and was about to stand up when he noticed Yu Sitian standing behind him. He exclaimed in surprise, "Sitian, you’re here."

"Director." Yu Sitian flashed a sweet smile at Kang Xin.

Kang Xin nodded and said, "Sit here for a while, I’ll go talk to them first."

Yu Sitian nodded obediently.

Kang Xin walked briskly to the adjacent set.

Zhou Yun was already standing, stretching her shoulders and neck. She had held her posture for too long and felt a bit sore.

"Director."

Kang Xin gave her a hug and said, "Well done, but I want another shot, something gloomier."

"Gloomier?" Zhou Yun didn’t immediately understand.

Kang Xin said, "A thought of evil and revenge is growing in your heart, and you gradually immerse yourself in the fantasy of the pleasure of revenge. The more gratifying it is, the gloomier."

Zhou Yun understood instantly and asked, "Got it."

Kang Xin immediately had all departments ready for a second take.

To maintain Zhou Yun’s condition.

Kang Xin returned to the monitor screen, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Action."

The set fell silent.

Yu Sitian once again stood behind Kang Xin, watching Zhou Yun’s performance on the screen.

She sat back in her original position, her eyes unfocused, somewhat dazed, with no change from earlier.

Yu Sitian was puzzled, thinking, since there’s no change, why shoot a second take?

Did Zhou Yun fail to grasp Kang Xin’s intention?

But Yu Sitian also didn’t know what Kang Xin had just said to Zhou Yun.

Suddenly, Zhou Yun’s expression changed.

Though her facial features didn’t change at all, Yu Sitian keenly sensed that whereas before Zhou Yun appeared hurt and meek, now she was radiating a hint of cold, resolute intent.

No significant change in facial expression, yet the difference was striking.

This mirror-like change in performance made Yu Sitian’s heart sink.

This so-called film scene, it was nothing less.

Yu Sitian was a bit stunned, amazed by the quality of such a performance. Zhou Yun could pull it off without any prior preparation.

From the end of the last take to the start of this one, Kang Xin merely said a few words to her, giving her no time to brew her emotions.

Yu Sitian was bewildered by Zhou Yun’s speed.

If it were her, she might be able to deliver such a performance, but it would take a long time to prepare and build up emotion.

"Okay, cut, pass!"

Kang Xin didn’t even review the take again before calling it a pass.

Yu Sitian snapped out of it and joined everyone in applause.

Only then did Kang Xin have time to talk to Yu Sitian: "When did Sitian arrive?"

Yu Sitian smiled and said, "Director, I just got here not long ago."

Kang Xin said, "In such cold weather, it’s hard work."

Yu Sitian shook her head and said, "How is it hard? I’ve always wanted to work with you. This time, I finally have the chance. No matter how cold it gets, I’m willing."

Not to mention, the attitude Yu Sitian showed made Kang Xin very satisfied.

Many might not believe it, but there are many actors who won’t take on a role because they find the shooting environment too challenging or the weather too harsh.

Even if the film is directed by a famous director.

There are slackers and unambitious ones among actors too.

Just like in every industry, there are many in this profession who are afraid of hardships.

"Sitian."

At this moment, Zhou Yun approached.

She had a faint smile on her face and proactively greeted Yu Sitian, saying, "You’re here."

Faced with her former arch-enemy, Yu Sitian didn’t know how to respond at first.

But in the face of Zhou Yun’s smile, as if nothing had ever happened between them, Yu Sitian eventually smiled a little and said, "Xiao Yun."

Their tones weren’t particularly intimate but weren’t confrontational either.

That was enough.

Zhou Yun’s thought was simple; while working together in filming, don’t cause trouble. Just finish shooting smoothly.

For this, she could be pretend friends with Yu Sitian for a while.

She hoped Yu Sitian felt the same.

The next scene was Jiang Yuzhen’s solo part. She was preparing in another room. Kang Xin said, "I’ll go check on her, you guys chat."

There wasn’t much for Zhou Yun and Yu Sitian to talk about. The two exchanged a glance and tacitly avoided each other’s gaze.

It was the coldest time of the year. Zhou Yun put on her down jacket and sat down in her seat.
