Shen Kai's gaze was first attracted by her dashing archery pose, then shocked by her lame skills. Before he recovered from that, he saw her looking coldly at him, and then having a nosebleed.
Shen Kai was puzzled.
The moment the nosebleed came out, Qin Wei was thinking about the alien immigration plan again.
She pressed her nose with one hand, and immediately asked her assistant for tissues.
It felt like a long time, but she realized it was just three to five seconds.
It was so brief that the blood had just started flowing out.
"Get your own tissues."
Qiao Sixiao sighed and wiped her hand with a wet wipe.
Qin Wei felt very guilty:
"Sorry Teacher Qiao, got your hand bloody..."
Who knew if there were paparazzi secretly taking photos here on the grassland. If they got this shot, it would be quite shocking -
【Shocking! Qin Wei Actually Had a Nosebleed Seeing Her Ex-Boyfriend!】
Fortunately Teacher Qiao was quick to block it, nipping all possibilities in the bud.
Teacher Qiao was easy to get along with and really helped when needed...
...
It had been hot and dry these past two days. Adding to Qin Wei's exhaustion from the intense filming, the director postponed filming by two hours after getting Shen Kai's consent.
The grasslands stretched as far as the eye could see with great visibility, but there was no shade. The production team set up canopies for the actors to rest under, and brought ice packs to help them cool down.
Li Liang handed Qin Wei an ice pack wrapped in a towel. Pressing it against her forehead made her feel slightly better.
"Sis, time to eat."
Li Liang brought over the lunch boxes, with two meat dishes, one vegetable, one soup, and rice - quite a feast. It smelled appetizing, but Qin Wei had no appetite.
Qin Wei lazily waved her hand:
"Li Liang you go ahead and eat. Don't talk to me now, I feel dizzy."
"I really am inexperienced. I've never seen you with no appetite before."
Qiao Sixiao felt her forehead. Even with the ice pack it was still hot. Taking in her condition, she was probably suffering from heat stroke.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She couldn't help but curse:
"Serves you right!"
Qin Wei: "?"
She opened her eyes, looked repeatedly to confirm the other's expression, before realizing she was talking about herself.
"What's wrong with you? What did I do?"
"Take breaks when you should. What are you trying to prove? Do you enjoy overtime? Does the crew lack your bit of money? Wrapping up shooting a bit earlier won't make much of a difference..."
As Qiao Sixiao spoke, she asked an assistant for a small plastic bottle filled with brown liquid, giving people bad premonitions.
"Drink the houttuynia cordata."
"I won't drink it."
Just thinking about that taste made Qin Wei's mouth feel awful.
Qiao Sixiao: "..."
Qin Wei: "..."
Qiao Sixiao: "..."
"I really can't stand your cold abuse."
Qin Wei reluctantly sat up, took the houttuynia cordata and drank it all in one go, then drank lots of water before recovering.
But the medicine was indeed effective. After resting for ten minutes she didn't feel as bad, and her appetite recovered a bit. But there was no way she could eat all this food now. To avoid waste, Qin Wei gave more than half to Li Liang, Xiao Yan and the others to share.
She couldn't conveniently hold an ice pack in one hand and use chopsticks in the other, so she ordered Qiao Sixiao:
"Help me hold the ice pack."
Qiao Sixiao was about to eat too and naturally refused.
If that didn't work then try another approach:
"Then will you please feed me?"
"Do your assistants get white-collar salaries every month?"
Rejected again.
Seeing Li Liang about to come over, Qin Wei gestured for her not to bother:
"Let Li Liang rest for a bit."
"Let my...female colleague help you."
Shen Kai walked over. Qin Wei immediately raised her hand to stop him:
"No need, thanks! Don't come over!"
Her shout made Shen Kai halt in his tracks, as if he could only stand there.
Qin Wei threw the ice pack aside. It had felt essential just now but seemed unnecessary at the moment.
Holding the lunch box in one hand and chopsticks in the other, she lowered her head to eat seriously.
In the end assistant Xiao Wang came over holding the ice pack to apply cold compresses for her.
After eating and resting for a while, Qin Wei finally felt better again. Around time, while the crew adjusted the equipment, Qin Wei went to run lines with Shen Kai.
Qiao Sixiao still sat next to the director, watching the monitor.
Some of the previous clips with Guo Yuyang could still be used, but most needed to be reshot. They were shooting the fight scene from before now.
Qin Wei had already memorized the lines and moves. Shen Kai was filling in at the last minute so he hadn't seen the script before getting it three days ago.
"I'm ready, let's walk through it first."
Shen Kai handed the script to his assistant and looked at Qin Wei.
After a simple line run and one time through the fight choreography, there seemed to be no major issues. They started officially filming.
The plot and fight moves shown on the monitor were the same as that day. But the feeling was completely different -
Guo Yuyang's acting was too superficial, but Shen Kai was not the same. As a film actor he paid more attention to subtle emotional changes in the characters. The same line dissuading his sister to go back carried rejection from Guo Yuyang, but regret and repression from Shen Kai.
The fight moves were the same. Guo Yuyang was just hitting his marks, while Shen Kai considered the characters' identities - he was fighting his own sister. So every move was restrained, stopping her while carefully avoiding harm.
The whole scene was filmed continuously for five minutes. The director didn't call cut and everyone watched intently.
"Cut! Got it! Everyone please take ten minutes."
A top actor was a top actor. Shen Kai's professionalism was clear, instantly raising the segment by a level compared to Guo Yuyang. Even Qin Wei as his acting partner was brought along, unable to perform as well with Guo Yuyang.
Filming this smoothly from start to finish gave Qin Wei a sense of satisfaction.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shen Kai said to Qin Wei,
"Let me see your hand."
"It's fine."
One punch had hit the wooden board just now but Qin Wei pulled back in time, so it didn't really hurt.
But her hand back was clearly red.
"It's fine."
Qin Wei walked away impatiently. Li Liang pulled over a small stool for her to sit on, spraying her hand with traumatic injury spray while chatting and laughing together.
Shen Kai watched Qin Wei and asked the assistant who had followed him for years:
"Did I remember wrong? She used to chat and laugh with her assistant?"
The assistant shook his head:
"No, you didn't remember wrong. I've always been by your side bro, not to mention her assistant, she didn't talk much to you either..."
Shen Kai glanced at him and lowered his voice:
"That was around other people. When we were alone, she would chat a lot with me too!"
The assistant nodded.
Ah yes yes yes yes yes.
