The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 364: Chapter 233

Chapter 364 -233

The last shot was finished, and the eyes of most of the cast and crew on set were red with emotion.

Although wrapping up a film shoot should be a cause for celebration, no one seemed to be in the mood for it.

Wenyan felt the worst.

Since she and another little girl had had the most scenes to shoot, she had thrown herself fully into the role.

Now, she found it difficult to extricate herself from the character and the immersive environment she had been part of.

Zhou Junye, Jing Hao, and Wang Che all came to comfort Wenyan.

Wenyan didn’t want to be the center of attention in such a situation. Although she couldn’t quite pull herself out of her emotional state, she still managed a smile and waved her hand dismissively.

As she took the tissues that Qin Yulong handed her to wipe her tears, she said to her concerned colleagues:

“It’s okay, I’m okay. Just let me cry for a bit, I’ll be fine soon.”

To avoid awkwardness, she kept talking, “Ah, this really is such an emotionally draining job. It’d be great if such cruelty didn’t exist.”

Wang Che, who was nearby, tried to console her, “Next time we’ll shoot a happier story, not something so draining.”

“That won’t do,” Wenyan thought of the next film she wanted to make, and with a couple of sobs, she said, “There are so many enlightening things that need to be shown to the public that simply can’t be cheerful. We’re not making commercial films; we can’t achieve that sort of entertainment.”

Zhou Junye also sighed, “To be honest, I’m really grateful to all of you. The pay for this film is just average, but you all came anyway. I hope the end results don’t let down the effort we’ve all put in.”

Jing Hao nodded in agreement, “If we can contribute in any way to the protection of endangered animals and the harmony between humans and nature, that would be a meritorious deed. To tell you the truth, this is the first time I’ve shot a film of this nature, and I’ve truly understood the meaning of film as a medium of communication. Wrapping up is a good thing, and I look forward to the film being released soon. Let’s go take a photo; let’s have a collective memory captured.”

Wenyan had also almost composed herself by this point.

The assistant director gathered everyone together with a megaphone in preparation for a group photo.

Looking at everyone gathered together, Wenyan suddenly had an idea.

“Director, I have a suggestion.”

“What suggestion?”

“You know at the end of our movie, there will be end credits, and you’re probably going to include text about protecting endangered animals, right?”

Zhou Junye nodded, “Yes, including some actual data. I’m planning to put it in the end credits.”

“Then let’s add one more. We could handwrite it and then take a photo to make an image, not just from our cast and crew, but also as a call to action for the whole society. We could collect everyone’s ‘wishes’ and then make a summary. What do you think?”

“That’s a great idea!” Zhou Junye excitedly patted Wenyan’s shoulder, “Why didn’t I think of that? It’s an excellent concept. It will also serve as our own pre-release promotion, and then the main creative team could post a message online to start a collection, to get the discussion going! We must emphasize again and again that pangolin scales have no medical value and can be completely replaced by other materials.”

No sooner said than done, the assistant director immediately found a large canvas, and almost everyone wrote their messages on it.

In the end, everyone held up the banner covered in messages and took a group photo.

As soon as the photo was released, Wenyan, Zhou Junye, and other actors immediately posted updates.

They all included the hashtag #TheLastPangolin#

#ProtectEndangeredAnimals##EnvironmentalProtectionIsEveryonesResponsibility##RejectConsumptionOfWildlife# and other related, perennially low-heat topics.

With the largest number of followers, Wenyan had the biggest influence.

As soon as she posted her update, the comments section exploded with activity.

‘Wow, Yanyan has posted an update, she must be online now’

‘Awesome! Another film wrapped up, can’t wait for the new work. It’s just a shame it’s a short film, probably will be done in just a few minutes’

‘This topic kills me, I really can’t watch this stuff, it’s just too sad, but I absolutely support these kinds of public service films! I’ve already written what I wanted to say. Attached image JPG’

‘Image JPG’

‘Image +1’

‘Image +10086’

‘And me, and me’

‘Oh my god, in the time it took me to write one sentence, tens of thousands more comments popped up, can the crew really collect all of these, will my image be selected?’

Wenyan was still online, and she responded to that comment.
