Chapter 130: Chapter 124: The Beginning of the Scandal Zhou Yun understood. Gu Huaichun nodded and agreed. There was a problem during the test shoot. The first time, Zhou Yun ran too fast, and when she reached the corner, Gu Huaichun had not yet reached it. The second time, Zhou Yun ran a bit slower, and it looked like slow motion on camera. This wasn’t a problem with the actors. One was running, the other walking, naturally their speeds would differ. However, Lu Yuan had already clearly anticipated this problem, and based on the two previous test shoots, he had Gu Huaichun start half a step ahead so that, on camera, the distance between Gu Huaichun and the corner was half of that between Zhou Yun and the corner. "Ok, just like that, let’s try again." Lu Yuan said, "Three, two, one, action!" Zhou Yun ran forward, her face beaming with a smile. According to the script, she had just learned she got the job offer, and she was thrilled through and through. Zhou Yun ran to the corner, turned right, and collided right into the approaching Gu Huaichun. She lost her balance and stepped back. "Cut!" Lu Yuan shouted. Gu Huaichun immediately covered his chest with his hand, glaring at Zhou Yun with a menacing look, "Did you do that on purpose? That was a hard hit, wasn’t it?" Zhou Yun’s own head also hurt a bit from the collision, she had hit a button on Gu Huaichun’s clothes which had jabbed right in. Gu Huaichun was picking a fight, but Zhou Yun couldn’t be bothered with him, and turned towards the other side. After reviewing the playback, Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Ok, that’s a pass, onto the next scene." That’s a pass? Zhou Yun was somewhat shocked. So hasty? Before Zhou Yun could react, Lu Yuan called them over to discuss the next scene. "Next, start filming directly from Xiao Yun bumping into Gu Huaichun and reeling backwards, don’t lean back stiffly, you want to capture that shaky, unsteady feeling. Xiao Gu, remember to swiftly wrap your arms around Zhou Yun’s waist, got it?" Gu Huaichun’s face looked slightly displeased, his mouth twitched, but he still nodded his head and agreed. Ready to start filming. Zhou Yun and Gu Huaichun were almost completely leaning against each other. This was the director’s requirement, because the shot was meant to start at the instant right after their collision. "Three, two, one, action!" Zhou Yun leaned back. "Stop!" Lu Yuan said, "No, Xiao Yun, don’t stand stiff like a zombie, you’re supposed to be knocked down!" "Sorry." Zhou Yun’s cheeks flushed slightly. Suddenly, a sneer was heard. No need to ask, it was Gu Huaichun. Mocking her. Zhou Yun cursed inwardly, laugh my ass off. "Three, two, one, action!" Zhou Yun fell back again, her face full of panic. Gu Huaichun immediately followed by wrapping his arms around Zhou Yun’s waist. Their eyes met. Gu Huaichun quickly averted his gaze. "Cut!" Lu Yuan shouted again, "Both of you rest in place for a bit." Someone came forward to lay the tracks. "Xiao Gu, slightly furrow your brow next time. Xiao Yun, maintain a look of surprise and bewilderment throughout, and add a touch of shyness." After finishing, Lu Yuan waited for the tracks to be laid, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "All departments, get ready!" Gu Huaichun looked at Zhou Yun with an expressionless face: "Bend down." Zhou Yun then realized that they were to continue with the previous scene. She said, "You hold me first." Gu Huaichun: "Taking advantage of me?" "Who’s taking advantage of whom?" Zhou Yun retorted angrily. "What are you two doing?" Lu Yuan noticed that the two in the camera were actually talking and became somewhat irritated. Zhou Yun shut her mouth. Reluctantly, Gu Huaichun extended a hand and feigned a support of Zhou Yun’s waist. "Can you actually support me? If I fall, you’re responsible, okay?" Zhou Yun said. Gu Huaichun pursed his lips, but in the end, he supported her properly. Zhou Yun slowly bent down, allowing herself to gradually lose balance, raising one foot. Lu Yuan: "Action!" The expression on Zhou Yun’s face immediately changed, she followed Lu Yuan’s directions: surprise, bewilderment, and a bit of shyness, eyelashes trembling slightly. In fact, she didn’t need to act; being held in this position by Gu Huaichun was embarrassing enough. Gu Huaichun had even less to act; expressionless, a slight frown, looking down at Zhou Yun, he was practically put in his natural state. The camera circled around them twice. The shot was complete. "Ok, this scene is finished." Lu Yuan said, "Moving onto a single shot next." The crew had already begun laying tracks for the next scene. Lu Yuan called Zhou Yun over. "Next we’ll shoot your segment, you just need to run, I will film it from a couple of angles, you find that state of excitement and joy right after getting the offer. The shot should be beautiful and positive, so halfway through the run, stop and give me a shot where you look up at the sun and cheer with your hands raised, okay?" Lu Yuan said.
