Chapter 708: Chapter 705: Swimming (5)
Sotis, classics are just like that, they co into being almost inadvertently.
Even when the state of everything seed off before, it was precisely in that mont of sudden inspiration that everything clicked into place.
This ti, the director truly appreciated Xia Siyu. While filming “Youth 1,” Xia Siyu was at the nadir of her career. Moreover, her previous company, in an attempt to spite her, had sold her contract to this company for a pittance. After the movie was wrapped up, due to a lack of funds, there seed to be no money for post-production, which delayed the release for two years. To everyone’s surprise, the box office returns were not bad.
Even so, when it ca ti to film the sequel, with the production sowhat more financial secure than before, they offered Xia Siyu a higher salary. Since it was a series, Qin Baizhou decided to take it for her. At first, both the production company and the director were afraid they wouldn’t recoup the costs, but Xia Siyu’s performance now—she was worth every penny!
The swimming pool scenes had to be finished during the dayti, and the crew had only rented the facility for one day. Siyu even joked, “Does that an we can go back early today?”
She had intentionally called Bo Yan over just to entice him. If they could finish shooting early in the evening, she could rest up for the next day’s filming.
The director smiled slightly, then shook his head, “No.”
Xia Siyu looked disappointed.
The director added, “We have night scenes scheduled for tonight. We’ll be shooting in the alleys and lanes, but you can go back and rest a bit after dinner.”
What good would a little rest do? All the leads had been in the water and would surely need to go back to take a shower and redo their makeup. Siyu didn’t want to waste any ti. Bo Yan would be leaving tomorrow, and she was determined to spend the evening with him.
“Then let’s go straight to filming after dinner. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can rest. I’m exhausted from all that swimming earlier.”
The director, aiming for perfection, had her repeatedly fine-tune that erging-from-water shot, aside from the diving and swimming scenes she had fild earlier, for at least an hour or two.
That ant she had spent three to four hours in the swimming pool today, in addition to the scenes shot on the poolside, the entire day’s effort had been consud by the swimming pool scenes. It was fortunate she exercised regularly, as this level of intensity was equivalent to a regular two-hour workout at the gym for her. But it was clear to see that the male actors were struggling, despite the male lead being a forr idol, who had neglected his practice for quite so ti and was now visibly tired.
The director seed a bit troubled, “But those guys…”
Siyu smiled and said, “They are all quite formidable, working out regularly with great physique. You guys can do it, right?”
At that mont, none of the gentlen could admit to being “unable”, so they all nodded in agreent.
Siyu’s eyes crinkled with mirth, “Then it’s happily decided.”
When it was ti to part ways, Bo Yan walked a different path from Xia Siyu; he pretended to be packing up his things and didn’t follow her to her car.
There were many assistants around a star, and it was not unusual for one or two to not follow the main group. However, it wasn’t just Bo Yan, who was deliberately taking a detour to avoid suspicion, but also another person— the guy with the glasses who had left earlier to et up with Shang Feifei.
To avoid raising suspicions, Siyu went back to the hotel with the main group, dined with them, spent less than thirty minutes showering and getting ready, then ca out to do her makeup and film again. They kept filming until ten o’clock at night before wrapping up for the day.
Siyu also returned with the main group to the hotel. Once there, she could barely contain her excitent and was about to rush upstairs to reunite with Bo Yan when the director stopped her to revise a scene.
By eleven o’clock, she finally headed upstairs. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she ran directly into soone.
