"Okay."
In the afternoon, Shi Luoqi ca knocking on Zhou Yun’s door.
She ca to bring Zhou Yun so news.
"We’ve contacted Wui Zhichang, unfortunately, he has taken another film and is no longer available."
Zhou Yun was stunned.
No availability?
That couldn’t be right, just last night Gu Huaichun told her that Wui Zhichang was willing to do the film.
What happened?
But since Shi Luoqi said so, Zhou Yun couldn’t really say anything else. She couldn’t tell Shi Luoqi that just last night, she had spoken to Gu Huaichun and Wui Zhichang had been available. There must have been so issue that ca up.
"What should we do?" asked Zhou Yun.
Filming had already started, and even though the scenes for the character ng Fanyan wouldn’t be shot until later, finding an actor and getting them familiar with the script also took ti. If they didn’t find a replacent actor quickly, there would be more trouble down the line.
Shi Luoqi said: "I will continue to search for actors on my end, and if you have any suitable suggestions, please recomnd them to so I can make contact."
The character ng Fanyan is a scumbag, and many male actors aren’t willing to play him.
There were no suitable candidates among Zhou Yun’s acquaintances.
She actually thought Wui Zhichang last ti was quite suitable.
After Shi Luoqi left, Zhou Yun imdiately got in touch with Gu Huaichun.
"What’s going on with Wui Zhichang? The producer of my film just told that Wui Zhichang has scheduling issues and can’t make it?"
"What? Hold on, let ask," Gu Huaichun also seed confused.
After a while, Gu Huaichun called back apologetically: "Sorry about this, he thought about it and decided to choose the other film. He has a pre-existing commitnt to another project which had already been nearly finalized. When I contacted him yesterday, he didn’t think it through and agreed to join your project. But after giving it a lot of thought, he didn’t want to let them down at this point, so after weighing his options, he ultimately decided to back out."
"I see, okay then," Zhou Yun nodded, "There’s nothing that can be done."
"My apologies for the confusion," Gu Huaichun apologized to Zhou Yun.
"Oh, it’s fine."
After hanging up, Zhou Yun let out a sigh.
Actors dropping out, set designs rushing ahead; despite everything, it all still managed to co together.
It was only at this mont that Zhou Yun finally got to et with Xue Qin.
Xue Qin had two dark circles under her eyes, clearly not having rested well.
"Director," Zhou Yun greeted Xue Qin cheerfully, forming a stark contrast to her.
Xue Qin took a good look and sighed: "How co you’ve put on so weight and you look like a pampered lady with no sense of life’s weariness?"
Zhou Yun: "..."
"I’ve been eating well, sleeping well, and my complexion is good," said Zhou Yun. "If you want the look of exhaustion, I’ll just stay up a few nights and add so makeup, and you’ll get your state."
Xue Qin yawned while covering her mouth with one hand.
"All right, then, I made you, a busy person, wait for a whole day. You must have been anxious, right?"
"Not anxious, slow and steady wins the race. How and when the crew shoots, I’ll follow your lead," Zhou Yun said. "Didn’t you get much sleep last night? You look soulless."
Xue Qin nodded, "Only got two hours of sleep, too many issues to deal with, and various troubles to solve."
"Then should you rest for a bit?" Zhou Yun asked.
"Rest my ass, I still need to review the possible actors’ profiles with Sister Luo Qi tonight, we haven’t found soone to play ng Fanyan yet," Xue Qin yawned again. "Let’s not talk about this. You and Zhang Mo sit down and discuss tomorrow’s scenes and your understanding of the characters."
Zhou Yun nodded and took a seat.
She and Zhang Mo expressed their own insights and shared their interpretations.
Xue Qin nodded, "That’s the idea. I’ve seen both of you act before, and you’re both capable. Just don’t ss up tomorrow, I’m frazzled from these days of staying up late."
Xue Qin had her usual way of speaking frankly, which made Zhou Yun want to laugh.
Xue Qin hurried off to another eting.
Zhou Yun and Zhang Mo stayed in the conference room.
"The director is really busy," Zhang Mo remarked.
Zhou Yun nodded in agreent and asked: "Shall we talk so more on our own?"
Zhang Mo nodded, agreeing.
"Do you think Zhong Qiulai and Wan Duoyan really love each other?" Zhou Yun asked.
Zhang Mo didn’t hesitate and nodded, "Definitely in love."
"Huh?" Zhou Yun was taken aback. "You’re so sure?"
Zhang Mo said: "If two people are not in love, they probably can’t date for that long."
"When I was reading the script, I kept thinking about this question. If these two are in love, then why doesn’t Zhong Qiulai accompany Wan Duoyan back?"
