Chapter 26: Having a Barbecue
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qing Sha’s side profile looked stern but gorgeous while her white dress trailed on the ground. She was focused on healing Xuanyuan Zun who was heavily wounded. This scene was incredibly beautiful, and Ye Qiaofeng, who was a fan of the novel, became stunned when he witnessed it.
Ye Qiaofeng only returned to his senses when Assistant Director Zhang gently pushed him and said, “Cut! That’s a wrap!”
One take was enough. Indeed, An Wen finished her first scene with wirework in only one take.
“She wasn’t just acting with a blank face. Rather, she was telling a story with her gaze just now,” Zhou Jingyin said to Lu Maner.
Lu Maner initially came here to watch An Wen make a fool out of herself, but her complexion was pale now. When she heard what Zhou Jingyin had said, she retorted, “But there was no need for her to show any emotions at all. Anyone could have acted out that scene.”
They mainly wanted to focus on filming Qing Sha’s scenes today. Lu Maner stayed behind to witness some amusing events, but she never imagined that An Wen would not make any mistakes. It was normal for Ye Qiaofeng to scold other people, but he was terribly quiet today.
Xia Wei could sense An Wen’s acting skills during their scenes together. He felt as though the cold, aloof, and seemingly unapproachable Qing Sha was actually standing before his very eyes.
There were several bad takes during the filming, but they only happened because Xia Wei had made mistakes.
Since the weather did not affect them because they were filming under a canopy, Ye Qiaofeng allowed them to film until it was night time because the circumstances were good. They actually managed to film all the scenes that were left out earlier.
Ye Qiaofeng treated the cast and crew to grilled skewers because he was happy. Anyone who was still filming at night was treated to this meal. As there were too many people, Ye Qiaofeng decided to book the entire barbecue restaurant.
Everyone sat wherever they liked while the store owner and the servers lit the coal for them and brought out the ingredients that were already skewered. An Wen was already famished, so she felt extremely disappointed when she noticed that she had to grill her own food. She turned to the owner and asked, “Is there any food that has already been grilled?”
Assistant Director Zhang was sitting at the same table as her. When he heard An Wen say that, the man playfully asked, “Are you so hungry that you can’t wait?”
An Wen bashfully smiled and said, “No one can function on an empty stomach. I skipped one meal, but I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse.”
The other actors who were beside her laughed when they heard her sincere words. One of the actors who was playing the role of a Wuyuan disciple said, “My saint, the Wuyuan tribe will never forgive anyone who dares to starve you.”
Ye Qiaofeng happened to pass by when An Wen pointed at him and said, “It’s him. You can go and settle it with him.”
The actor hurriedly waved his hand and said, “My saint, I guess you’ll have to starve then!”
Everyone laughed again.
The restaurant owner brought out a tray of grilled skewers and gave them to An Wen. Before she ate, An Wen said, “Frankly, I actually feel very guilty now, but my stomach is still suffering. I’ve known my stomach for more than a decade, but I can’t bear to see it suffer.”
Once she had finished speaking, she took a meat skewer and ate it.
An Wen was a diligent and earnest person among the cast. She was always the last one to leave during practice. Many people were not prejudiced against her anymore when they saw her attitude. An Wen also had a good personality because she would still make jokes and lighten everyone’s mood when she was tired.
“She said those nonsensical things without even batting an eyelid,” one of the female celebrities laughed and said.
Naturally, An Wen could not eat by herself, so she distributed the food to the other people at her table.
Suddenly, Xia Wei took his phone and sat next to An Wen. The girl asked, “Would you like one?”
“Yes!” Xia Wei said before he continued playing his game.
The smell of barbecued meat surrounded them, but Xia Wei was still focused on playing his game. Once the round was finished, he furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Cheng Hanwen, how dare you steal the MVP award from me!”
Cheng Hanwen, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes and said, “You’re so shameless. Are you really going to blame me when you’re a rookie?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Wei furiously said, “I can already collect ‘star glory’ at my level, so who are you calling a rookie? Hurry up and offer me the grilled meat in your bowl as compensation.”
“Pfft! How shameless!” Cheng Hanwen picked up the skewers that An Wen had given him before he put them in his mouth. Next, he used his other hand to put his phone in his pocket before he reached toward Xia Wei’s plate.
