Xu Xiuwen participated in the interview process and left an impression on most people.
In addition to these people, Miss Yang was also in the classroom.
“Xiuwen, you’re here.”
Hang Fei stood up from his seat as soon as he saw Xu Xiuwen.
“Is everyone here? Shall we start now?”
Hang Fei shook his head, “Not yet, there are still a few people missing. Let’s wait.”
Xu Xiuwen nodded, indicating that he understood, and then found a seat to sit down.
In a strange environnt and seeing unfamiliar faces, Tang Weiwei was a bit nervous, so since entering the classroom, she had been sticking close to Xu Xiuwen without moving an inch.
Bai Yue’er has a relatively cheerful personality, she greeted Hang Fei actively with a smile on her face.
About five minutes later, three more students entered the classroom.
When the last student arrived, Hang Fei stood up and said, “Alright, everyone’s here. Let’s start the first eting of the drama team. I’m the director of this play, and since you all know each other, I won’t say much. I want to introduce soone in particular.”
Xu Xiuwen guessed that Hang Fei was referring to him, so he stood up voluntarily.
Pointing at Xu Xiuwen, Hang Fei said, “This is Xu Xiuwen. You’ve read his novel, which is what we’re adapting. He’s also providing the funding for the production, and he’ll also play the male lead in this play.”
Upon hearing Hang Fei’s words, everyone in the classroom imdiately turned their gaze to Xu Xiuwen.
The students from the Arts Institute were all surprised. They had already read the novel, and a novel that could beco popular on the Jinjiang platform naturally wouldn’t be lacking.
Now, hearing that even the funding was provided by him alone, they couldn’t help but feel admiration.
Miss Yang also looked at Xu Xiuwen, thinking, ‘Impressive.’
In the classroom, only Bai Yue’er was shocked, her mouth hanging open. She turned to look at Xu Xiuwen’s profile, wondering if she had misheard.
Xu Xiuwen… he’s the male lead?
Bai Yue’er has read his novel several tis these days, and she can almost recite the plot about Shan Cai.
Thinking about certain plots, she blushed suddenly.
Bai Yue’er has always dread of becoming an actress since she was young, but she has never had the opportunity to enter this industry.
She often tells herself that this opportunity is hard-won and must be cherished.
So when she found out there was a kissing scene in the novel, even though it would be her first kiss, she still tried to convince herself to sacrifice for the sake of the drama.
But she never thought that the object of her sacrifice would be Xu Xiuwen? Thinking that she would kiss Xu Xiuwen, she felt worried.
If Shi Xiangming knew about it, he would definitely not agree and might even make a scene.
Bai Yue’er decided not to tell him.
Next, the actors begin their self-introductions.
According to the role order, Bai Yue’er is the female lead and goes first.
At this mont, her mind is blank, she doesn’t know what to say after stating her na.
Fortunately, Hang Fei promptly gestures for her to sit down.
After the girl sits down, Xu Xiuwen stands up and calmly says, “Hello, senior brothers and sisters, I am Xu Xiuwen. In this drama, I play the male lead, Dao Ming Si. This is my first ti filming a TV series. Please take care of in the future, thank you.”
……………….
Xu Xiuwen rembered everyone’s nas after the first round of introductions. The remaining three mbers of group F4, portraying Hua Ze Lei, Xi n, and i Zuo, are all third-year students majoring in performing arts, nad Jing Ran, Su Zheng, and Song Bin respectively.
The roles of the second female lead Qiu Jiayi (played by Matsunaga Yuki) and the third female lead Song Shuxian (played by Tendo Shizuka) are portrayed by Miss Yang Zi and Su Yutong respectively.
Apart from several important characters, so minor roles have also been cast, but I won’t go into detail to avoid unnecessary length.
After the actors introduced themselves, it was the turn of the crew mbers.
When Tang Weiwei introduced herself, she kept her head down and appeared quite nervous, evidently not accustod to such situations.
Once everyone had introduced themselves, Hang Fei clapped his hands to draw everyone’s attention.
“This drama might encounter various difficulties during the shooting period, but I hope everyone can work together, overco all obstacles, and produce an excellent work together. I hope this drama will beco a milestone for each of us!”
After finishing his speech, Hang Fei led the applause, which was also what he wanted to say. With the entire cast being newcors, there would surely be unexpected challenges during filming, and only with the whole crew working together could they overco them.
After the applause died down, Xu Xiuwen voiced his question, “Who will play Dao Ming Si’s mother and the other roles?”
He had noticed the absence of so characters earlier.
Hang Fei replied, “The actors for these roles haven’t been decided yet, and we couldn’t find suitable actors in the school. I plan to hire so talented supporting actors, but it will definitely cost money.”
Xu Xiuwen paused for a mont and said, “Alright, the money that needs to be spent should be spent. You make the decision on this matter.”
Hang Fei nodded to indicate he understood, then said, “Since we’re a small production team, let’s skip the formalities. Let’s have dinner together tonight, and we’ll start shooting officially in a week.”
With director Hang Fei confirming the shooting schedule, this humble little production team began to prepare in earnest.
Director Hang Fei and his team, although young, were all proactive, and their efficiency was high.
In the week before shooting, apart from occasional communication and collaboration with Hang Fei to revise the script, Xu Xiuwen practically beca a bystander, while Tang Weiwei turned into a busy person.
Taking on the financial work for the first ti, Tang Weiwei was unfamiliar with it.
On the first day, almost everything had to be reported to him for approval, and she was even using Bai Yue’er’s phone.
Xu Xiuwen could only say to Tang Weiwei, “I trust you completely. All the money, as long as you think it’s reasonable, you agree. If you think it’s unreasonable, you can discuss it with the director. If the director agrees, I have no objection. If there are still problems, then co to in the end.”
Tang Weiwei listened to him and felt the weight on her shoulders increase, but she didn’t say anything and calmly accepted it.
In the following days, Tang Weiwei’s requests for instructions decreased.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
The TV series “Boys Over Flowers” officially started filming.
The first filming location was the rooftop of the Humanities Building at Jiaotong University.
The first scene to be fild was the female lead Shan Cai, encountering a male student being bullied and about to jump off the building.
She saved his life.
In this scene, Xu Xiuwen doesn’t have any lines.
However, because it’s the first scene for the entire crew, he didn’t miss it and arrived early at the shooting location.
Hang Fei specifically chose this scene to start filming because firstly, the rooftop wouldn’t be disturbed, and secondly, the dialogue in this scene is minimal, which should be relatively easy for newcors like Bai Yue’er.
At 9:00 in the morning, with the help of the makeup artist, Bai Yue’er had her makeup done and stood at the staircase to the rooftop in the clothes provided by the crew.
The extras and the cara were all ready.
