Chapter 66: Potential Hasn’t Been Fully Reached Yet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Director Zhou went out to make a call midway and called the screenwriter over. The two of them whispered to each other and decided to shoot ten more scenes at the last minute.

“In these scenes, the setting is the same. It’s just that the span of time is rather wide. From a youth to a wife, and finally to old age. Are you confident?” Director Zhou handed the additional script to Gu Ran and observed her expression.

“As you know, our budget is tight. It’s not easy to set up this set even once. Of course, we have to make good use of it. But if you think it’s difficult! Let’s slowly…’

Gu Ran flipped through a few pages of the script. Although there were many lines, fortunately, there were not many changes. She nodded. “I understand. Give me half an hour to familiarize myself with the lines.”

Director Zhou was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Gu Ran to be so easygoing.

Seeing that the director was quiet, the screenwriter quietly tugged at his shirt. The director snapped back to his senses and quickly said, “Then go and memorize your lines first. We’ll film the other scenes first.”

Gu Ran walked away with the script in her hands and randomly found a large rock to sit down on. She quickly memorized her lines, and the stylist followed behind her to help her with her costume.

Half an hour later, Gu Ran had already memorized most of her lines. Director Zhou waved his hand and the filming began.

They filmed from two o’clock in the afternoon until nine o’clock in the evening. Gu Ran was so tired that she was about to collapse. Director Zhou was exceedingly satisfied.

He really did not expect that such an unreliable female lead would actually give him such a surprise during filming.

“If I had known earlier, I would have discussed with Gu Ran to film a few more scenes. It would be a waste not to make full use of her right now.” The screenwriter was speechless… “Director, she’s still a newbie.”

“But I feel that her potential hasn’t been fully reached yet! I want to add five more scenes tomorrow. You can refine Zhou Yao’s character again and strive for perfection.”

The screenwriter was speechless…

Director, please act like a human!

After the end of the day’s filming, Gu Ran dragged her exhausted body and slowly queued up to change her clothes. From afar, she could see an endless line. She looked up at the sky and sighed, walking away like a wandering soul.

Mengshen spent the entire day observing and learning from the director. During filming, he did not dare to disturb Gu Ran, afraid that it would affect her condition. After filming ended, he immediately greeted the director and chased Gu Ran.

“Teacher Gu…

No one responded to him. Mengshen sprinted after her.

Gu Ran circled around and finally arrived at the lounge MO Yancheng had lent her. With great effort, she took out the rope around her neck that was used to tie the key. She aimed it at the keyhole, and opened the door with a click.

Behind the door, MO Yancheng was talking to the producer, Jing Lu. When he saw the door being pushed open, Gu Ran walked in as if no one was around. The producer stared blankly at MO Yancheng, who was beside her. “Your new assistant? Why is she so ignorant? She doesn’t even know how to knock.”

Gu Ran, who was still in her costume, was speechless…

Why was Movie King still here at this hour?

MO Yancheng noticed that her eyes were bloodshot and she was not her usual lively self. He knew that Gu Ran had had a tough day. He frowned slightly and was just about to speak, “You go first…”

“Teacher Gu!”

Immediately after, a delicate-looking young man ran out from behind Gu Ran. He was also wearing a costume of the same color as Gu Ran. It was obvious that they were a couple.

He quickly walked to Gu Ran and held her hand affectionately. “You’re in the wrong place. This isn’t our production team’s changing room. I’ll bring you back.” With that, he wrapped his arm around Gu Ran’s shoulder and walked hnolz

“Stop!”

Mengshen turned around and realized that there was someone else in the room.

“M-Movie King?” Mengshen’s expression changed drastically as his gaze swept to the man.

At this moment, Jing Lu finally saw the two people outside the door clearly. After seeing Mengshen’s face, he rushed over and grabbed Mengshen’s shoulder. “Brat! Where have you been! I didn’t expect you to come here!”

Mengshen kept twisting his body to break free from Jing Lu’s grip, but the more he moved, the tighter Jing Lu’s grip became. Gu Ran’s wrist hurt from his grip.

“Hey, you…”

Before Gu Ran could finish speaking, MO Yancheng had already appeared beside her. He pushed Mengshen’s hand away and pushed him out of the door. He held Gu Ran’s hand and entered the room, closing the door behind them..
