Lin Xiaowan gradually became immersed in what she was doing.
When the filming on the other side was completed, a few staff members moved the filming equipment and props over to the room she was in.
By the time Lin Xiaowan noticed this, there were already many people around her. She held the script, feeling a little lost. Seeing that there were so many people, she was not sure if she should continue sitting here or change places.
The staff members also did not expect there to be another person and were slightly stunned when they saw her. As they worked, they could not help but glance at her.
Lin Xiaowan bit her lip. She felt uncomfortable being stared at, but she tried not to show her discomfort. She tried to force herself to calm down, telling herself that she would also be stared at by so many people when filming started for her.
She hyped herself up as the staff members moved the props and examined the set. After a moment, she leaned forward and asked the person closest to her, “Are you filming here?”
“Not now. We’re setting up first to shoot later,” the staff member replied.
Lin Xiaowan was rather surprised that the staff member seemed rather nervous speaking. The latter’s eyes darted all over the place, shuffling her feet and twiddling her fingers. For some reason, seeing that the latter was also like her, she felt less nervous. With this, she could not help but smile.
The staff member, also a young woman, saw Lin Xiaowan’s smile and said, “You’re so beautiful. What role are you playing?”
“I’m just playing a small role,” Lin Xiaowan replied vaguely. She was not sure if she could casually reveal her role.
The staff member seemed to understand and did nor ask any questions. She smiled before she left to work.
Lin Xiaowan felt less nervous after this encounter. After thinking about it for a while, she mustered up her courage and raised her head to look around, observing the people in the room. It did not take long for her to discover that she was nor rhe only person who felr uncomfortable.
A few people who met her gaze smiled at her while a few, who were even more nervous than her, hurriedly averted their eyes. However, no matter how they were, none of them showed any malice or disdain. They mostly only looked at her with surprised or curious gazes.
Lin Xiaowan found that she did not mind these gazes as much as she thought she would.
At this moment, the director walked in and saw Lin Xiaowan sitting leisurely with her chin propped on her hand. She held the script with one hand while she swayed her feet. He did not walk over and continued to observe her. He could somewhat see where Gu Yuwu was coming from, but he did not agree with her completely.
Gu Yuwu had expressed to him that she wanted to add more scenes for Lin Xiaowan. She suggested adding a plot that contrasted the goddess’ aloof character. She wanted to show the goddess’ liveliness and innocence when the goddess just ascended to the divine realm. She wanted to show the transformation of the cheerful goddess to the cold and emotionless goddess in the later stage.
Since filming had only started not long ago, it was not impossible to change the script. However, after careful consideration, the director decided nor to add more scenes for the goddess. In his opinion, if they were to shoot the origin of the goddess, it would take away the mystery of the goddess. Moreover, it also felt very forced to him.
After thinking about it for a long time, he looked for Gu Yuwu and expressed his thoughts to her before he said, “It’ll be better if we film that scene as an extra. I think that rhe effect will be much better than incorporating it into the drama.”
Gu Yuwu nodded, agreeing with the director.
The director smiled. “It’s good working with you, President Gu. At least we can communicate effectively to solve problems. It’s really great.”
The director was sincere. In other production teams, the words of the investors were like imperial edicts. Investors would add people or scenes as they pleased without asking for opinions. Sometimes, the entire production would be greatly affected because of this.
Gu Yuwu, on the other hand, was very different. Her existence was reassuring, and she seemed genuinely interested in the filming. Moreover, she always discussed her ideas with the crew and did not unilaterally impose her idea on them.
Gu Yuwu looked at the directors from the corners of her eyes. She did not dwell on his words. She said casually, “My temper has calmed down a lot over the past two years. You should know what it was like in the past.”
Indeed, Gu Yuwu was rather fierce in the past. During filming, she was even scarier than the director. As soon as she opened her mouth, many people would feel ashamed. She did not hold back and would even drive away terrible actors after she scolded them. If they still wanted to cause trouble, she would not hesitate to deal with them. Once she made a move, there would be a bloody storm.
Everyone in the industry knew what kind of person Gu Yuwu was. No matter how famous and glorious someone was, if they joined her production, they still had to act dutifully.
Gu Yuwu rose to her feet and said, “Let’s go and have a look. Let’s see if the goddess has adapted to her role.”
Lin Xiaowan was doing well initially, but the appearance of a few other people made her nervous again.
The main leads usually would not wander around after they were done shooting their scenes. They would get their makeup touched up and rest.
When Chang Ning, the third female lead, heard the crew talking about how beautiful the goddess was, she grew curious. She had filmed a few scenes in the divine realms before this, but rhe goddess had yet to show up. She asked a few people about it, but no one knew anything. After finding out that the goddess was on set today, she wanted to have a look since she was on a break. However, she was too embarrassed to go over directly.
Chang Ning looked aloof and arrogant so many people assumed she had a bad temper. However, the truth was she had a very good personality. She was especially good to those around her.
Chang Ning looked for He Qianyuan, another lead, to join her.
He Qianyuan was new to acting, and she was two years younger than the twenty-year-old Chang Ning. For this reason, she found it difficult to refuse Chang Ning when Chang Ning invited her to look for Lin Xiaowan. Moreover, she was not resistant to the suggestion and was on a break so she nodded in agreement.
The duo had just taken a few steps when they ran into a few male actors. They were rather young. When they heard that the duo was going to look for the goddess in the drama, they were also interested and decided to tag along.
Lin Xiaowan was happily observing the others when she saw a few main leads walking in. She was stunned and froze immediately.
The few of them saw Lin Xiaowan as soon as they entered. With the unique and gorgeous pink and white robes that were embroidered with golden threads, coupled with the gorgeous golden headpiece that was sparkling under the light, she looked extremely eye-catching. She was completely different from what they had imagined when they discussed the plot..
