Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 926 - 572: Deep Sea Begins Filming_4

This discovery made Zhou Yun somewhat emotional.

The difference between a good actor and an ordinary actor might be right here.

Zhou Yun hadn’t expected that Yuk Chu would remain in character even in such details, instead of merely playing a scene from the side.

Cui Xidong came over to discuss with the three of them about how to shoot the upcoming scenes.

Zhou Yun and the other two were already very capable actresses, so there was no need for Cui Xidong to teach them the technical aspects.

All Cui Xidong had to do was tell them how he wanted to shoot the next scenes, without worrying about anything else.

However, the three of them didn’t realize that their performance made the upcoming actors a bit nervous.

Because when the three of them performed on camera, the aura they exuded was completely different from usual.

It was a different kind of quality.

Many people in other crews rarely see such a meticulous performance right from the start.

Sure enough, when it came to the major group scene later, the shoot wasn’t as smooth.

Someone would occasionally make a mistake, such as forgetting lines, messing up the positioning, or laughing inappropriately.

Cui Xidong didn’t seem surprised or angry; he just kept doing retakes.

Zhou Yun’s energy was quite drained.

It was finally noon, and she could take a break.

Xu Jinbo walked over clapping his hands and said to her, "No wonder you’re the Movie Queen, watching you act on set is truly a pleasure."

"Don’t say that." Zhou Yun waved her hand, "It’s not as exaggerated as you say."

Xu Jinbo asked, "How do you feel? Are you comfortable acting?"

"Pretty good, it’s just that a lot of problems cropped up with the group scene afterward." Zhou Yun was a bit helpless, "But there’s no helping it, with so many people, mistakes are bound to happen."

On another note, Zhou Yun realized that Cui Xidong wasn’t very skilled at communicating with actors.

Not every actor knows how to act their character; many just perform a state of being — nervousness, happiness, or anger.

If these superficial states appear in a TV drama, they’ll just flash by; otherwise, they look fake.

Actors’ abilities vary as well.

Some actors just can’t act or act well.

There’s not much Zhou Yun can do about that.

During the lunch break, Zheng Xiaojue talked to Zhou Yun about the journalist interview.

"They don’t want to do an interview but would like to take a couple of photos. Is that okay?" Zheng Xiaojue asked.

Zhou Yun asked, "What kind of photos? Pictures of me eating now?"

Zheng Xiaojue said, "If you’re willing, that would be fine too. They’ve come over to visit the set, and if they don’t get any shots of you, it might be hard for them to explain."

"Let them come then." Zhou Yun nodded, "I’m a bit sleepy. After eating, I need to nap."

"Okay." Zheng Xiaojue happily nodded and called the journalists over.

Zhou Yun posed cooperatively for the camera, wearing just a very simple, loose-fitting tracksuit after changing out of her costume.

"Thank you for your hard work," she nodded to them.

"Thank you, Xiao Yun."

He Wenyun suddenly walked over with her meal tray.

"Hmm? Are you doing an interview?" He Wenyun paused her steps.

Seeing her, Zhou Yun shook her head and said, "No, not an interview, just a couple of photos."

She then looked at the journalists, "Is this enough?"

The journalists nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "How about we take a photo of the two of you together?"

Zhou Yun looked at He Wenyun.

He Wenyun nodded, "Sure."

The journalists took a picture of them together and left happily.

He Wenyun sat down opposite Zhou Yun.

"Tired," she said.

Zhou Yun: "I’m tired too, I woke up too early today."

"I finished auditioning for ’Samurai’ in the morning, got up at five to shoot." He Wenyun smiled, "I have no idea what the result will be."

"You’ve worked with Paimon before, you have an advantage over others."

"Maybe, but who knows." He Wenyun said, "My agent has been helping me find suitable projects in the country, but honestly, despite the market being so big, there aren’t many good projects, and I haven’t found a script I particularly want to act in."

"Really? Can’t believe it, isn’t New Shield a company that focuses on films? Don’t they have anything suitable for you?"

"Sigh, they’re all projects catering to the market. If I wanted to make such films, I might as well stay in Hollywood where the market’s bigger," said He Wenyun, "It’s bigger there."

"Hmm." Zhou Yun asked, "What kind of movie do you want to act in then?"

"There’s no specific genre I’m looking for, but I prefer stories that reflect real life and real people," said He Wenyun, "I really liked that TV series you were in before, ’Heart Inquiry.’"

"Really?" Zhou Yun was somewhat surprised; she thought He Wenyun hadn’t watched it.

"I really liked it." He Wenyun said, "After watching that series, I actively wanted to be in ’Deep Sea’ because I wanted to meet you."

"So that’s how it is."

He Wenyun smiled and said, "I really look forward to working with you on a movie like ’Wind Sound’ someday."

"There will surely be an opportunity," Zhou Yun said.

In fact, it was quite thrilling for her to act alongside He Wenyun.

It’s rare to encounter an actress of the same age who inspires a sense of competitiveness in her.

After lunch, Zhou Yun headed to her resting room but bumped into Xu Jinbo at a hallway corner.

He was standing at the corner, talking on the phone.

"I’m working now, how could I possibly go to the school?" Xu Jinbo said, "Don’t you know today is the first day of shooting for this film?"

It seemed like he was arguing with someone.

Zhou Yun didn’t know Xu Jinbo was having a quarrel.

School?

Could it be about his kid?

That’s possible.

So who was on the other end?

Zhou Yun hesitated for a bit but decided to turn around and leave, taking another route.

It’s better not to eavesdrop on someone’s private matters.

Zhou Yun returned to the resting room, took a short nap, and in the afternoon, returned to the set to continue filming.

Waiting for their turn.

Yuk Chu shared some gossip she heard with Zhou Yun, "Did you consider a movie called ’Immortal Bridge’ before? Someone online leaked that Su Yan ousted you and snagged the movie?"

Zhou Yun laughed, "Well, then wish her the best of luck."

"I heard it’s a high-budget fantasy blockbuster," said Yuk Chu, "Everyone’s talking about it, saying maybe the film could gross over two billion at the box office."

"Maybe." Zhou Yun asked, "Where did you see this leak?"

"A blogger named Vic," Yuk Chu said, "Haven’t you heard? He posted a lot of leaks. People initially took him for just a regular marketing account with mixed information, but later, every single one of his leaks was verified as true. This blogger became famous, and I’ve heard a lot of talent agencies are digging to find out who he is."

"No way to find out, just a waste of effort."

Yuk Chu laughed.

"But I’ve already followed him with my secret account."

"Be careful yourself, don’t let people find out about your secret account."

"Don’t worry, I never post anything on my secret account, just use it to check some content," Yuk Chu said, "In this current climate, even accidentally liking something with my main account could cause a huge fuss, it’s safer to use a secret account."

"Hmm."

"Zhou Yun, Yuk Chu, the director is calling for you." At this point, a staff member came over.
