A few days had passed, and the shooting resumed.
The shooting location had been temporarily rented out. When they came today, they had to share the venue with another filming crew.
Qiao Xi was holding a megaphone, gesturing vigorously as she directed the staff under her.
"Wait. Don't put out these flowers yet."
Hearing the voice, Wen Sining, who had just rushed over, immediately stopped the staff member holding the flowers.
Hearing the voice, Qiao Xi put down the megaphone and walked over to her.
"Not put them out now?"
"Right."
Wen Sining reached out and took the flowers from her colleague. "The sun is too strong. If we put them out now, they'll be wilted by the time the official shooting starts."
She looked around and saw a small pond just in front.
"Go find a vase."
"Sister Wen, will a big bucket do?"
"As long as it can hold the flowers."
The colleague turned around and headed towards the truck parked at the back as instructed.
Qiao Xi walked beside Wen Sining. After sizing up the surroundings, she said, "Wasn't it Amanda who actively requested to start shooting? So, why did she change her mind at the last minute?"
They had suddenly received a call from Yun Chutong last night, saying that her hand injury had healed and it wouldn't affect the shooting. They had prepared for the shooting all night. The only thing they couldn't perfect was that they had to share half of the shooting venue with another crew.
Seeing Qiao Xi looking so worried, Wen Sining shook her head. "Make preparations in advance. We've all seen what kind of temper she has."
Half a month had passed since the shooting was supposed to start, and they had no finished products yet. Instead, they had suffered quite a few losses. To avoid excessive waste, they should save wherever they could.
Everything was being prepared normally, and the scheduled shooting time was getting closer. Wen Sining repeatedly instructed the staff of the crew to check the areas they were in charge of, and they were just waiting for Yun Chutong to arrive.
The filming crew next to them was just having the first round of test shooting. Standing under the tent, Wen Sining watched their progress enviously.
"Which star is that over there?" Wen Sining casually asked the person beside her.
Following her gaze, many people looked up.
"Seems to be Ya Xuan."
"The male co - star beside her seems to be Xiao Zhan, who is very popular recently."
"Right, right. It's him. He's the representative of the warm - guy type. When he smiles, I feel like I'm being melted."
Seeing the female staff members looking at the opposite side with a star - struck look on their faces, Wen Sining became curious about the male star they were talking about.
Their occupation made it relatively easy for them to meet stars, whether they were popular or not.
Seeing how politely they were cooperating with the crew, this was exactly what Yun Chutong lacked.
"Sister Wen, Teacher Amanda is here." someone beside her reminded.
Just as she took out her phone, Wen Sining had to stop what she was doing and looked up at the nanny car parked in front of her.
Xiao Lan got out of the front passenger seat and scurried over to open the door for Yun Chutong.
As soon as Yun Chutong showed up, everyone present held their breath and didn't dare to slack off at all.
"Sorry. I'm late because of the traffic jam on the way."
Getting out of the car, Yun Chutong surprisingly bowed and apologized to everyone in front of her.
They hadn't seen each other for a few days, but her personality had changed so quickly.
Qiao Xi looked at Wen Sining doubtfully. The two of them exchanged glances, and as the person in charge, Wen Sining magnanimously replied, "Time is running out. Is it convenient for you to get ready for the shooting makeup now, Teacher Amanda?"
"Sure." Yun Chutong put on her sunglasses again and went to the dressing room with her assistant and manager.
Entering the dressing room, the makeup artist who had been sitting there taking a break immediately got into work mode.
"You only have half an hour. Please hurry up." Wen Sining said to the makeup artist.
Yun Chutong had good skin, and her three - dimensional facial features meant that it wouldn't take too long to do her makeup. The premise was that she would cooperate.
The makeup artist looked at Yun Chutong and then nodded in response to Wen Sining.
"Teacher Amanda, you get ready for your makeup here. I'll go outside and check on the photographer." Wen Sining said euphemistically as she turned around.
"Okay." Yun Chutong nodded with a smile.
Walking out of the dressing room, Wen Sining couldn't feel happy. When a person's personality changed drastically all of a sudden, it was bound to lead to many unpredictable things.
Take the current situation for example. She couldn't tell whether Yun Chutong had really had a conscience and was willing to cooperate with their shooting work, or if she was just trying to find another way to make things difficult for them.
Anxiously looking back at the dressing room, Wen Sining's irritated mood was interrupted by Qiao Xi, who rushed over.
"Something bad has happened."
"Don't be in a hurry. Calm down and tell me slowly."
Swallowing hard, Qiao Xi took a deep breath. "The photographer can't come because of something urgent."
"What?" Wen Sining was stunned. "Are you sure the photographer can't come?"
Everything was ready, and the shooting was about to start, but the photographer hadn't shown up yet. This was clearly going to make her postpone the shooting again.
Wen Sining frowned tightly.
"I've sent someone to invite other photographers, but this all happened so suddenly. Even if we manage to invite other photographers, it will still delay the shooting time." Qiao Xi said.
The shooting location was in the suburbs, quite a long distance from the city center. Moreover, the schedules of the nearby photographers were all very full. It was really difficult to find a suitable photographer.
After being silent for a long time, Wen Sining reached out and patted Qiao Xi's shoulder. "Don't be in a hurry. We can look for idle photographers on major photography platforms."
"Okay." Qiao Xi immediately got into action.
Wen Sining wasn't idle either. She looked at the crew on the opposite side that was shooting, her eyes fixed on their photographer.
She knew this photographer. He was very good at artistic shooting.
"Hey, where are you going?" Qiao Xi was just about to chase after her to ask when her phone suddenly rang. Looking at Wen Sining walking further and further away, she had no choice but to answer the phone first.
Arriving at the other crew, Wen Sining stood behind the display screen as if she were a staff member.
"Cut!"
After the clapperboard sound, the quiet venue instantly became lively.
Wen Sining's sudden appearance also caught the attention of the people present.
"You're the person in charge over there, right?" the director turned his head and asked.
Wen Sining nodded and, out of professional ethics, averted her eyes from the display screen. "I see you have two photographers. I was wondering if you could lend one to us?"
"What?"
"You heard me right. I want to borrow your photographer."
The others looked at Wen Sining curiously. In this industry, as long as they weren't from the same company, they were competitors.
Just think about it. Who would lend their own people to a competitor?
The director joked with a smile, "You're really good at joking."
"I'm serious. Our photographer can't come because of something urgent, but we can't cancel today's shooting schedule." Wen Sining straightforwardly told the other party the problem they were facing.
Her frankness also surprised the other party, and he couldn't even say any more joking words.
"Sorry. We can't lend you the photographer."
