Caught in Affairs with Superstar

Chapter 812 - 530: Filming Adjustments (2)

Many people received a new filming schedule like Cheng Shenlv, which was quite unexpected for everyone.

If they follow the new filming schedule, their shooting in the next one to two weeks will be very limited, primarily focusing on Zeng Lili and Zhou Yun’s scenes.

There was widespread discussion about this within the crew.

The crew members weren’t too surprised by their temporary filming adjustments. Having more or less acted before, they understand that filming a movie strictly according to the initial plan is almost impossible. Every movie encounters various issues during filming, and it’s inevitable to adjust the filming schedule after facing these issues.

However, they were curious about what happened to Zeng Lili and speculated, exchanging their thoughts.

Some were dissatisfied.

Guan Siya was one of those dissatisfied people.

"Just one scene in one day? So, I’m wasting the rest of my time?" Guan Siya complained angrily to her agent, saying, "How can we waste our time like this?"

The agent replied helplessly, "Princess, you know you’re playing a supporting role. The contract clearly states that you’re supposed to cooperate with the crew’s schedule. We signed a three-month performance period, and they haven’t exceeded it, so we have nothing to complain about. Even if they do exceed it, are you planning to cause trouble?"

Guan Siya said angrily, "This is just bullying."

"What can we do? You’re not the only one whose filming schedule has been adjusted. Haven’t almost everyone’s been adjusted?"

Guan Siya said, "I thought I could wrap up a month early."

Based on the previous filming schedule, Guan Siya had already shot more than half of her scenes.

The crew initially prioritized filming scenes with more actors.

The agent said, "Stop complaining, think about it. So many people want to be part of this movie, even without pay. They’ve paid you well and treated you fairly. Now it’s just a schedule adjustment, and you’re getting worked up."

Guan Siya then revealed her true feelings, "I just want to wrap up soon, so I can join another crew and start filming again."

The agent, hearing this, suddenly furrowed his eyebrows in suspicion and asked, "Have any other crews contacted you?"

Guan Siya hesitated and said, "Director of Xu Siyao’s ’Half City Rain’ scheduled to start in September approached me."

"Guan Siya, you’re getting bold now, daring to privately take jobs outside."

"No, how could I have. Just if ’Under the Grand Dress’ doesn’t wrap up by September, I wouldn’t be able to join that film. I was going to tell you once it’s confirmed, otherwise it would be for nothing," Guan Siya said flatteringly. "Now it seems that opportunity is slipping away."

"I’m warning you, don’t get reckless. What is ’Half City Rain’? Ten of that film is nothing compared to ’Under the Grand Dress’. Don’t prioritize the wrong things," the agent knew Guan Siya was always brave and reminded her specifically.

Guan Siya shrugged indifferently, and said, "Got it, I know what’s important."

...

However, media did not keep quiet about the issue with Zeng Lili’s husband’s health.

Since Zeng Lili was nominated for the Lingjun Award for Best Actress, she already received significant attention. The news somehow leaked publicly and was picked up by many media outlets.

Now, the crew of ’Under the Grand Dress’ understood why Zeng Lili’s scenes were prioritized for filming.

The murmuring voices of dissent were quiet.

Because of this issue, everyone became afraid to joke or chat openly with Zeng Lili, fearing it would violate some kind of taboo.

Song Chi came to the set twice thereafter.

He was looking to discuss future collaborations with Ning Yufeng since he held several projects in search of suitable directors. Having learned Ning Yufeng was available, he became interested.

Zhou Yun was delighted to see Ning Yufeng work with Song Chi.

Once you’ve collaborated, you can discern someone’s ability and talent. Zhou Yun realized Ning Yufeng was still young yet remarkable, and establishing a collaborative relationship with him early would be beneficial for Song Chi and his company.
