20. Re-encountering Liu Yifei

  As the door opened, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

  "What's going on?" Ye Sumang, who was explaining the play to Dong Xuan, suddenly felt a silence around him and thought something was wrong. He looked up and his eyes widened in shock.

  A familiar scene happened again before my eyes.

  Except for the time and place being different, she was still that girl like a snow lotus flower, standing quietly at the entrance of the supermarket, with an expression of confusion on her face.

  "Excuse me, are you guys filming a movie or something?" Under the gaze of the crowd, which was as still as a movie frame, the girl blinked and asked in a cute tone.

  The people around looked at me, I looked at them, and for a moment, no one knew how to respond. The girl's appearance was too stunning, her ethereal temperament made everyone hold their breath. At this moment, when they heard the girl's question, they all involuntarily turned their gaze to Ye Sumang not far away.

  Ye Sumang didn't expect to run into this girl in such a remote place either.

  At first, in that small supermarket, he was attracted to the girl's temperament and admired her. He even impulsively decided to invite this girl to join him before the film had any guarantee. Unfortunately, after throwing out his own outline, there was no more news, and Ye Sumang gradually forgot about it, and so did the girl.

  But today's encounter made him feel that it was really too destined, such a remote place, two people could actually meet.

  "Hey, hello, I don't know if you still remember me?" Under the gaze of everyone's eyes, Ye Sumang stood up and warmly greeted the girl.

  Listening to the direction of the sound, the girl's gaze turned towards Ye Sumang, seeing him enthusiastically waving at her, a flash of surprise color suddenly flashed in his eyes, but immediately returned to the calm and peaceful appearance, lightly nodding, without saying a word.

  Everyone saw that their director actually knew the girl, and the gossip fire in their eyes suddenly burst into flames. They gathered together in threes and fours, pretending to be busy with something in their hands, but their eyes kept darting back and forth between the girl and Ye Sumang.

  "Is there something I can help you with?" Ye Sumang ignored the mocking gazes and continued to ask the girl.

  "Just, just... saw the supermarket and thought of buying some stuff." The girl's words were laced with a hint of evasiveness, but Ye Sumang was too caught up in the joy of their reunion to notice.

  Dong Xuan, who was standing beside him, sensitively detected a hint of something.

  They've been filming here for three or four days, and because of the remote location, not a single person has come to buy anything. How did this girl coincidentally find this place and know Ye Su Mang?

  It's too far-fetched to say it's fate, anyway Dong Xuan himself doesn't believe it.

  "Want to buy something? There's a supermarket where you can pick what you need yourself..."

  "You haven't answered my question yet." The girl suddenly interrupted Ye Sumang's words, puffed out her cheeks and complained with a slightly dissatisfied expression.

  "Uh..." The girl's sudden tantrum startled Ye Su Mang, who then remembered that the girl had asked a question when she first entered the house. He immediately smiled and replied: "Actually, I was filming, I gave you the script of this play before, did you receive it?"

  Everyone now understands the reason for their acquaintance, and it seems that they have only met twice. For some reason, Dong Xuan's heart also seemed to relax, and his entire person was no longer in a state of alert as he had been earlier.

  "Okay, I've read it, but mom doesn't let me act." The girl replied quickly, however, when she said this, her lips curled up involuntarily and a hint of disappointment flowed out from her eyes, obviously feeling very disappointed about not being able to participate in the play.

  Seeing the girl's sad expression, Ye Sumang suddenly suggested "That would be a pity, but if you're interested in acting, you can stay and see how we shoot on site?"

  "Will it disturb everyone?" After hearing Ye Su Mang's invitation, the girl's eyes flashed with a burst of light, although her mouth was politely modest, but her expectant gaze had already exposed her thoughts.

  "It's okay, stay behind, as long as you don't delay the filming." Xu Zheng, as a representative of the actors in the crew, stood out at this moment. This lovely little girl was also seen for the first time, and he couldn't help but love her.

  Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Ye Sumang called the girl over and chatted with her casually.

  In the conversation, Ye Sumang finally learned the girl's name, Liu Yifei. At the age of ten, she followed her mother to settle abroad and only returned to Kyoto last year to take the entrance exam for Kyoto Film Academy.

  "Ah, then aren't we classmates of the same year?" Ye Sumeng said with a smile.

  "Did you also attend Kyoto Film Academy!?" Liu Yifei was taken aback, never expecting that this handsome big brother in front of her would be from the same school, and even the same class.

  "He's a genius from the directing department, it's already been decided." At this time, Dong Xuan suddenly interjected: "Among the crew members here, more than half are students of Kyoto Film Academy. If I'm not mistaken, you're also majoring in acting, right?"

  Liu Yifei nodded.

  "Hehe, I'm also from the performance department, but I'm from the class of 2000. My name is Dong Xuan, just call me Xuan Jie." Dong Xuan stretched out her hand and lightly shook hands with Liu Yifei.

  The break time ended soon, and the shooting continued. Ye Sumang was staring at the monitor, occasionally directing Ning Hao to adjust the camera. Behind him, a small head was also staring at the monitor, with curiosity in his eyes.

  "This is a monitor, whatever the camera shoots, I can see everything here."

  "What about this?" Liu Yifei suddenly pointed to a nearby table with a hollowed-out center and asked curiously after hearing Ye Sumang's explanation.

  "You'll understand this right away." Although the girl looked somewhat dissatisfied, Ye Sumang still started by selling a suspenseful tone.

  Soon, two people lifted the table that Liu Yifei had just curiously looked at to the center of a row of shelves. Xu Zheng, who was about to go on stage, walked over and actually climbed onto the table, then crawled into the hollow space in the middle.

  Ning Hao was installing a small pulley on the camera at this moment, and then placed it on the round table. Under Ye Su Mang's "start", Ning Hao immediately pulled the camera and ran rapidly and smoothly along the surface of the round table.

  At this moment, Ye Sumang's monitor also reacted in real-time to the images captured by the camera. The rotating lens didn't shake at all, and the entire screen felt extremely perfect.

  “CUT！”

  "Now you know what this table is for, right?" Ye Sumang asked with a smile as everyone prepared for the next scene, turning to Liu Yifei beside her.

  "Hmm, it's really interesting." Liu Yifei curled up the corners of her lips and smiled happily, having already forgotten about Ye Sumang's teasing earlier. She found that this small act of rebellion seemed to be correct, indeed, acting was something she truly enjoyed.

  A new week, seeking recommendations and collections. As long as I can get on the signed-in list this week, I guarantee at least three updates next week. Also, the two updates owed from last week will be made up for this week when time permits, now that I don't need to look up too much data and my typing speed has finally improved.
