Dinglinglingling, dinglinglingling...
The phone on the bedside table rang. A fair, slender hand picked up the phone and answered it.
"Has Sister Mengmeng gotten up? Get dressed and go to the shooting site. You have a scene this morning."
Yan Ke'er, as Yuan Meng's assistant, came to wake her up. "Yes, I'll get up now. I stayed up too late reading the script last night. Thanks for waking me up, Ke'er."
"Hehe, it's my job! Sister Mengmeng, should I bring you a cup of coffee to keep you awake?"
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Meng got dressed and went to the shooting site. Yan Ke'er was already waiting for her there.
"Come on, Sister Mengmeng! Today is the last day of shooting. We'll definitely wrap up perfectly!"
Yuan Meng looked at the energetic Yan Ke'er. A gentle look flashed in her eyes. At first, becoming an actress was completely Ling Qianchen's wish. Although the word "fear" never existed in Yuan Meng's dictionary, when she suddenly entered a new field, she was still a little confused. Fortunately, she met a good agent and assistant.
"Then I'll take your good word for it!"
"Yuan Meng, come here and get ready!" Yuan Meng and Yan Ke'er had just started talking when the director called Yuan Meng over to get ready for shooting.
"Coming, Director."
Yuan Meng put down her things and ran towards the director. Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something. She turned back and gave Yan Ke'er a sweet smile before walking over with peace of mind.
"Come on, Yuan Meng. These are the last few scenes today. The last scene is especially important. It's a real test of acting skills. I've seen all your hard work and progress recently. Come on. Let's try to get through them all in one take today.
Come on. Let me explain the scene to you again to help you get into the state quickly."
After the director explained the scene to Yuan Meng, Yuan Meng and Actor Shen went over the lines and the movements one more time. Then the shooting on the last day officially started.
The previous scenes all passed smoothly. Although Yuan Meng had a few retakes, it wasn't many and was still within the normal range. Soon, it was time for the most important last scene.
Because this scene was very difficult, the director had arranged it for last.
Before the shooting started, the director was still worried. He called Yuan Meng and Shen Yun over and gave them a few instructions.
"To wrap up quickly and go home, you two have to work hard!" The director looked at them kindly as they walked into position.
"A sad story, the last scene, take one, action!"
At the director's command, Yuan Meng and Shen Yun immediately got into character.
Xia Weiwei, played by Yuan Meng, tightly hugged Xie Yu, played by Shen Yun. Her eyes were tangled and tough. Her eye sockets slowly turned red, and tears slowly fell.
Xie Yu's hand slowly lifted, wanting to hug Xia Weiwei back. However, the movie ended at the moment when Xie Yu was about to hug Xia Weiwei.
This was their last meeting and hug. The story of Xia Weiwei and Xie Yu would end here.
Everyone was deeply immersed in the plot. The director was so touched that he forgot to call "cut".
"Um, Director, have we finished acting?" Shen Yun's hand was hanging in the air. It was really tiring, so he couldn't help but remind the director.
"Ah! Cut! Wrap up!" The director excitedly announced the wrap - up. He couldn't help but quickly walk towards Yuan Meng and Shen Yun. "You guys did really well. I was so drawn into the scene just now that I couldn't get out. That's why I forgot to call 'wrap - up'. Hahaha. Sorry, Yuan Meng, Shen Yun. You've worked hard!"
Then the director turned around and shouted to the whole crew, "Guys, pack up. Let's take a group photo and go to the celebration banquet!"
The whole crew cheered. After filming together for several months, they were finally wrapping up. Everyone was happy, but at the same time, they were a little reluctant.
At the banquet hotel
Yuan Meng drove her own car to pick up Yan Ke'er and Liu Yi and go there together.
"Liu Yi, Ke'er, you go up first. I'll park the car." Yuan Meng dropped off Yan Ke'er and Liu Yi at the main entrance and drove towards the underground parking lot.
After parking the car, Yuan Meng walked towards the elevator, ready to go upstairs to the banquet hall.
"Yes, Boss. I'm already at the hotel. I've bribed a waiter. I'll pretend to be a waiter and go in. Then I'll change my clothes... Yeah, the paparazzi are ready. Okay, Boss. I'll definitely succeed."
Someone was on the phone in the safety passage. Yuan Meng didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but she recognized the voice very well. It was Ye Wanning's voice.
Yuan Meng had a hunch that Ye Wanning was going to cause trouble at the wrap - up banquet, so she became more vigilant.
"Mengmeng, you're here. Why are you so late? Come on. This is really delicious!"
"Yeah, I'm coming!" While eating and chatting with Liu Yi and Yan Ke'er, Yuan Meng carefully observed if there was any sign of the suspicious Ye Wanning.
"Mengmeng, you seem a little absent - minded tonight. What are you looking around for?" Liu Yi noticed something was wrong with her and asked with concern.
"Um... Liu Yi, I think I saw Ye Wanning when I was going upstairs... So I'm a little scared..."
Yuan Meng didn't want to say that in fact, she was looking forward to Ye Wanning's arrival to add some fun to her boring banquet.
In fact, Yuan Meng was always paying attention to Ye Wanning. Although she wasn't afraid of her and even looked forward to her bringing some fun, she couldn't let Ye Wanning out of her sight. Otherwise, who knew when something unexpected might happen!
Just as Yuan Meng finished answering Liu Yi, she turned around and saw Ye Wanning approaching the director secretly in a low - key outfit. She was also constantly making gestures to someone. Yuan Meng guessed that it should be the paparazzi she had arranged.
Yuan Meng squinted her eyes and smiled excitedly. The good show was about to start.
Yuan Meng secretly approached Ye Wanning step by step. She walked carefully to Ye Wanning's side. Suddenly, as if she was startled, she shouted, "Ah! Ye Wanning, why are you here?" Before Ye Wanning could react, Yuan Meng pushed her towards the director.
Ye Wanning didn't expect Yuan Meng to discover her and expose her presence. Off - guard, Ye Wanning was directly pushed to the director's feet by Yuan Meng.
"Ye Wanning?! You still have the nerve to come here!" The director's good mood disappeared instantly when he saw Ye Wanning.
"My movie had to stop shooting for several days because of you. The losses were huge. If it weren't for your trouble - making, none of these things would have happened. And you even dare to come. Do you know what day it is today? It's a celebration banquet! It's a celebration for us. What does it have to do with you? Haven't you cursed my crew enough?!"
Ye Wanning was scolded by the director. She couldn't stay any longer. She quickly covered her face and ran away.
"Mengmeng, stop crying. It's not worth crying over this woman."
Yuan Meng pretended to be scared and cried out, looking very pitiful, as if she still had a shadow over Ye Wanning.
"Sniff, I... I won't cry anymore. I have to be strong. I can't be afraid of Ye Wanning."
Yuan Meng hiccupped from crying and stammered out these words. Her rabbit - like show of strength won the hearts of many people in the crew.
"Stop taking pictures. No one is allowed to talk about what happened tonight! At least not until my movie is released! Okay, let's celebrate for our crew!" After the director gave the order, no one dared to take pictures anymore. Everyone pretended that nothing had happened and continued to celebrate.
