Chapter 76: A Future Rich Woman~
Alec Su wore a bright red polo shirt today, supposedly for good luck, but he didn't look lucky at all.
He stood exhausted in front of Su Yu, who had just finished applying makeup, with dark circles under his eyes, and said:
"Su Yu, my goodness, you're finally back! I've been so worried about you this past week!"
Su Yu chuckled, patted Su Youpeng on the shoulder, and said in a tone as if coaxing a child:
"Director Su, don't worry, I promise I'll nail every take today. Will you give me a raise?"
Su Youpeng's eyes were almost red from the comfort of the first half of his words, but after hearing the second half, he pretended not to hear, put his hands behind his back, and walked straight out, muttering:
"Hurry up, filming is about to start!"
The first scene is set in an indoor classroom.
The film crew directly found a classroom on the first floor of an old teaching building at Jimei University.
Outside the window, there was dense greenery, and sunlight was filtered through the leaves into fine golden dust that drifted into the classroom.
A breeze blew in through the open window, ruffling the pages of the books laid out on the desk.
Su Yu sat in the third-to-last row by the window, propping his chin up and looking out the window, as if he was waiting for someone, or perhaps just daydreaming.
His profile looked exceptionally clean in the warm yellow light.
This sequence of shots will be used as inserts into the campus scene to show Li Er's gaze at Xu Yi from her perspective.
The classroom was filled with extras playing classmates, all of them girls.
Su Youpeng contacted the Jimei University Student Union in advance, saying he needed dozens of extras.
Within half an hour of the message being sent out, the number of people who signed up exceeded five hundred.
These female college students had been looking forward to Su Yu's return every day, but they never expected that he would suddenly appear again shortly after updating his Weibo!
At this moment, the girls sat upright, seemingly paying attention in class, but in reality, each of them was frantically glancing towards the window.
"Quiet down! Students, please be quiet!"
The assistant director shouted through a megaphone.
"Everyone, look at the blackboard! Don't stare at Su Yu! The camera's rolling! You're playing high school students! High school life is about studying!"
But nobody paid him any attention; this is the consequence of not hiring professional extras.
Su Yu chuckled to himself. Before he found him, Su Youpeng had said that he wanted to use his face to pay these female college students. They would definitely want to look at him and get their money's worth!
A group of girls still craned their necks, their eyes practically glued to Su Yu.
"So handsome...this angle is amazing..."
"His hair looks so good when the wind blows it around, like a male protagonist from a manga..."
"Hey, have you followed him on Weibo? He only has a little over a thousand followers! Everyone, give him a follow! What if he becomes famous someday? We'll be the original shareholders! The founding fans!!"
A girl wearing glasses whispered excitedly to her friends, which immediately triggered a chorus of suppressed screams and echoes.
"I've been following this for a while now!"
"I'm among the first 100 followers!"
Chen Duling sat diagonally behind Su Yu. Su Youpeng had specifically instructed her that the book on her desk was actually a script, containing Li Er's current inner thoughts:
She looked at Xu Yi; he was very quiet, the wind outside the window ruffling his hair. Even though she was in class, she wanted to capture this moment in her drawing.
Chen Duling rested her chin on her hand, her eyes glazed over.
She discovered that acting out the feelings of unrequited love was not difficult at all.
Because at that moment, at least thirty or forty girls in the classroom shared the exact same feeling as her.
They weren't acting at all; they were genuinely smitten.
This discovery left Chen Duling with a somewhat complicated feeling.
It's like you think you have a unique collection, but when you look up, you find that everyone in the room has the same model.
cut.
She muttered something to herself and continued to stare intently at Su Yu.
A gust of wind rose outside the window, turning the pages of the book and ruffling the boy's hair.
The sun is shining brightly.
"Crack! Pass!!"
Su Youpeng suddenly stood up from behind the monitor, tears streaming down his face:
"I'm back! I'm finally back! Waaaaah! Duling, the way you turned around just now was amazing! That look in your eyes! My head is about to explode with sweetness!!"
Su Youpeng was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, as if the pent-up emotions of many days had finally been released.
During a break in filming, Su Yu had just stepped out of the classroom when he was immediately surrounded by a swarm of girls.
"Su Yu! Su Yu! Can I get your autograph?"
"Can we take a photo together?"
"You acted so well! Xu Yi is exactly how I imagined him to be!"
"OK."
Su Yu gave a bright smile.
That laugh almost made several girls in the front row leave.
"Ahhh, he laughed! He laughed!"
"I'm dizzy! Sister, help me up!"
Su Yu took the pen and notebook, signing his name while casually chatting with everyone.
What are your majors?
"Financial management!"
"From news and communication!"
"English!"
"Everything's fine. Study hard and become a rich woman in the future!"
Su Yu handed the signed book back, blinked,
"By the way, remember to vote for me! Once I become famous, you'll be my veteran fans."
"Hahahaha, great!"
"Absolutely!"
"Su Yu, you better charge!!"
After signing for the last person, Su Yu noticed Chen Duling standing outside the crowd, arms crossed, glancing at him with a half-smile.
"Hmph."
Chen Duling snorted sourly a few times, and without waiting for Su Yu's response, she walked away with her hands behind her back.
Su Yu jogged a few steps forward, stretched out his hand, and waved it in front of her:
"Hehe, not bad, you played very well in this game."
Chen Duling turned her head and muttered something under her breath:
"I don't want to praise you, but since you came back, I feel like I've suddenly become an actor again. It's so strange."
Su Yu looked down at her, a hint of amusement in his eyes:
"Really? What will you do if I'm gone?"
Chen Duling was stunned for a moment, then stomped her foot, her expression a mix of coquettish annoyance:
"Then please don't be absent!"
She was startled after saying that, and quickly waved her hand:
"No, no, that's not what I meant..."
Su Yu chuckled at her words and reached out to pinch her cheek: "Alright, alright~"
Chen Duling covered her face as she watched Su Yu turn around to change into his costume for the next scene, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
She'd known Su Yu for so long, and this was the first time he'd ever pinched her cheek. No, no, that's not the point!
Her mind was a complete mess.
It seems Su Yu was quite happy after learning she didn't want him to leave...
She stood there, her mind a jumble, but a smile she couldn't hide on her face.
The afternoon's filming schedule was even more packed, with Su Yu filming from the classroom all the way to the playground.
Almost every scene was filmed in one take. Occasionally, Su Youpeng would want to save a backup take, so Su Yu would go through it again. The second take was usually more outstanding than the first.
Ou Hao watched from the side, his notebook already half full.
