154: Filming has begun!

After the break, they continued filming the subsequent scenes.

"Shen Teng, Ma Li, the next scene we're filming is at the wedding. Let me explain the feeling I want you to portray," Chen Le called the two over.

After all, they were the two main leads for this scene; everyone else was a supporting actor.

"Ma Li, the character you're playing in this scene is a woman who has toiled for her family for years, while Charlotte is a deadbeat who's just waiting to die. You've read the script; you need to show that sense of deep disappointment and frustration with him for failing to live up to expectations."

"As for you, Shen Teng, just act based on your intuition. There's nothing specific you need to look out for in your part later."

After finishing, Chen Le looked at them and asked, "You should both understand how to play it now, right?"

Shen Teng and Ma Li listened intently. Hearing Chen Le's words, they nodded. "Understood, Director Chen."

Then, the actors took their positions on set, and a shout of "Action!" rang out.

Filming began.

Charlotte walked into the wedding venue, only to find he was wearing the same outfit as the MC.

Seeing Shen Teng, the MC shouted with a serious face, "Excuse me, colleague, did you walk into the wrong room?"

As soon as the MC finished speaking, the wedding venue erupted in a burst of laughter.

The camera panned, and Yuan Hua, played by Yan Zheng, made his appearance.

The classmates cheered, urging him to improvise a poem about Charlotte's outfit.

Shen Teng sat at the table, a forced smile on his face.

Yin Zheng feigned reluctance, but after repeated invitations from his classmates, he stood up.

"In that case, I'll give it a try!"

"Attending the feast alone, in a suit of chicken feathers; we're all classmates, so why the hell are you acting like a big shot!"

His words were followed by loud, piercing laughter from the surrounding classmates.

Then came a series of flattery, putting others down, and ridicule.

Hearing the mockery and laughter of his classmates and teachers, Shen Teng could only drown his sorrows in wine.

Then, Ma Dongmei made her entrance.

This scene was the breaking point of the conflict between Charlotte and Ma Dongmei. Once this part was finished, the plot would officially begin.

"Cut!"

"Okay, that part was perfect," Chen Le said, smiling and clapping.

He hadn't expected this scene to go so smoothly, passing in a single take.

It was a successful beginning.

"Take a break, and we'll continue filming in a bit," Chen Le told everyone.

Yin Zheng and Shen Teng went to the break area and sat together to chat.

"Brother Teng, I didn't expect your acting to be so good. I almost burst out laughing during my part just now," Yin Zheng said with a smile.

"I'm a professional actor after all. Even though I don't usually do movies, I can still hold back a laugh," Shen Teng said, waving it off.

"Brother Teng, I see so many gags in this script. Director Chen is truly amazing; I could never have thought of so many jokes," Yin Zheng said admiringly.

"True, to be chosen by Director Chen, I've really hit the jackpot," Shen Teng couldn't help but sigh... A week passed quickly, and as Shen Teng and the others became more familiar with each other, the filming speed increased slightly.

The reason it was only slightly faster was that as they got closer, they also broke character and laughed more often than at the beginning.

At the start, they weren't familiar and were embarrassed to laugh because it would cause a retake.

Now that they were comfortable, if one laughed, another would laugh, and soon everyone was laughing.

Although they had to reshoot, everyone was quite happy.

In this way, their relationships grew much closer.

Seeing how happy they were, Chen Le joined in.

Filming would be exhausting if it were too serious.

The moments of breaking character and laughing served as a sort of spice that brought a lot of joy.

Chen Le remembered that there were many funny scenes in Goodbye Mr. Loser. Just thinking about filming the upcoming comedy segments made him want to laugh.

There was no helping it; those scenes were classic enough.

Thinking of this, Chen Le wondered if he should film those funny scenes first.

Of course, he was just thinking about it; it was better to follow the normal filming sequence.

Today, the Film Crew arrived at the coast of Bin City. A scene was to be filmed here today.

It was the scene where Yuan Hua goes fishing.

Yin Zheng stood on the yacht, looking at the deep blue sea in the distance, and couldn't help but say, "This sea is so beautiful!"

"What kind of description is that? I thought you'd spout a line of ancient poetry!" Shen Teng said with a laugh from the side.

"Hey, you think too highly of me," Yin Zheng waved his hand.

"Tsk tsk, the Film Crew is really going all out, actually renting a yacht," Yin Zheng marveled, looking at the yacht beneath his feet.

"Haha, stop looking. Your ride is that one," Shen Teng said upon hearing Yin Zheng's remark, immediately pointing to the small fishing boat tethered next to the yacht.

"Hey, you..." Yin Zheng's face darkened at the words.

"I'm the one riding the yacht," Shen Teng said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, filming is about to start. Hurry back to your little 'vehicle'," Shen Teng pointed to the small fishing boat.

Yin Zheng was now dressed as a fisherman, and Shen Teng handed him a harpoon from the side.

"Sigh, why is the character I'm playing so pathetic!" Yin Zheng grumbled as he stepped onto the fishing boat.

Chen Le was currently on the shore, watching the monitor.

With a shout of "Action!" over the walkie-talkie...

This scene officially began.

This part of the plot was about Yuan Hua going out to fish while Charlotte was out on a yacht for fun, and then Yuan Hua's fishing boat ended up behind the yacht.

On the monitor, Song Yang spotted the fishing boat and quickly ran over to Shen Teng.

"Brother Luo, Brother Luo, there's a fishing boat blocking us from behind. It looks like they're trying to scam us," Song Yang shouted urgently to Shen Teng.

Hearing this, Shen Teng immediately went to the stern.

Suddenly, a figure popped up, giving him a start.

Looking closely, the person was indeed Yuan Hua.

Shen Teng saw Yin Zheng with a cigarette in his mouth, looking completely bewildered.

At that moment, a wave crashed over, causing Yin Zheng to stumble, and the cigarette fell right out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Shen Teng immediately burst out laughing.

"Pause!" Seeing Shen Teng break character, Chen Le immediately called for a stop.

"Ahem, Shen Teng, try not to laugh. We're on the sea right now, and look, Yin Zheng can barely stay on his feet," Chen Le cautioned Shen Teng.

After all, he was on a yacht, while Yin Zheng was on a small fishing boat.

Although the fishing boat was secured to the yacht, the person was not.

The wind outside was quite strong today.

So it was better to finish filming as quickly as possible.

"Okay, Director Chen, I got it," Shen Teng replied, suppressing his laughter.

Subsequently, filming continued.

Standing on the boat, Charlotte was very surprised to see Yuan Hua.

"Yuan Hua!"

Especially since Yuan Hua was dressed as a fisherman.

In his previous life, Yuan Hua had been quite glamorous; he hadn't expected that after his rebirth, Yuan Hua's fate would be so different.

At this moment, Yin Zheng looked at Shen Teng with disbelief and a hint of numbness.

Seeing this, Chen Le directly shouted, "Cut!"

"Okay, come on back, we're done with this one."}],"new_glossary_terms":[{"zh":" Yan Zheng","en":"Yan Zheng","entity_type":"person","gender":"male"},{"zh":" Luo Ge","en":"Brother Luo","entity_type":"person","gender":"male"}]}
