After dinner, it was afternoon.
Gu Xingxi still had the last set of short stories to shoot, and because they were shot underwater, it was more troublesome to put this one later.
Originally, the weather forecast was for a sunny day today, so that the actors would not suffer particularly hard when filming underwater, but as luck would have it, the weather outside had already changed before filming started.
Dark clouds were rolling in, and it was about to rain. The director walked up to Zuo Yan and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Director Zuo, you see, this plan can't keep up with the changes. It's about to rain. If we start shooting, Actors suffer a lot."
Zuo Yan pursed his lips tightly, his face was extremely solemn, and he gave Gu Xingxi a complicated look.
Zuo Yan naturally understands this, but the rental time of this venue is limited after all. We can't shoot this afternoon, and we don't know when it will be scheduled in the future.
But the contract didn't say that the film would be shot in the rain, so Gu Xingxi's refusal to do so was not a violation of the contract.
While he was hesitating, the sky was getting darker and drizzle was gradually falling. Zuo Yan gritted his teeth and was about to call someone to stop the work when Gu Xingxi on the side suddenly said: "Director Zuo, shoot quickly, I'm fine."
Of course he knew that he could refuse the photo, but it was not easy for him to get this opportunity, and he could still afford to eat and live despite the hardship.
Zuo Yan looked surprised for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly admire Gu Xingxi's professionalism, and had a better impression of Gu Xingxi.
"Are you really okay?" After Zuo Yan finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Xingcheng.
Xia Xingcheng actually didn't plan to let Gu Xingxi take the photo. After all, the cold weather and the temperature under the water made her feel sorry for her.
But he didn't expect that Gu Xingxi would decide to shoot on his own, so he couldn't help but ask him doubtfully: "Xingxi, are you okay? Are you really okay?"
Gu Xingxi nodded, "I'm fine. Don't waste everyone's time. It's going to rain. If we finish the filming earlier, we can go back earlier."
After hearing what he said, everyone quickly prepared to start underwater shooting. They couldn't help but secretly admire Gu Xingxi's professionalism.
If such an actor is not popular in the future, it will be really unforgivable.
The early stage of the shooting went quite smoothly, the weather was kind and it didn't rain except it was a bit cold outside.
However, halfway through the filming, Gu Xingxi suddenly suffered from cramps in his feet and was unable to swim. In addition, he was too nervous and struggled in the water to drown.
Everyone saw this in the underwater camera and immediately panicked, calling for people who knew how to swim to hurry up and save people.
"Oops, what should Director Zuo do? This is not water-based." The director shouted at the side, sweating on his forehead.
If something happens, their entire group will no longer have to hang out.
Zuo Yan had a calm face, and cracks appeared on his originally expressionless face.
At the critical moment, before Zuo Yan could react, a white figure next to him suddenly jumped down.
Everyone was shocked when they saw who it was. Even Zuo Yan took a breath of surprise and looked nervously at Xia Xingcheng in the water.
Fortunately, Xia Xingcheng was good at water and dragged Gu Xingxi up with all his strength. After the two of them landed, they only choked on a few mouthfuls of water, so nothing serious happened.
"Director Xia, how are you, are you okay?" the director asked anxiously.
Xia Xingcheng took several breaths and then felt better. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Let's see how Gu Xingxi is doing."
Gu Xingxi had already fainted because he had been delayed underwater for some time. Fortunately, the medical staff rushed over in time to provide first aid. Gu Xingxi only choked on a few mouthfuls of water and was not seriously injured.
After a while, the director saw that Gu Xingxi had woken up, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground. He asked him with concern, "Xingxi, can you still shoot? If not, we can do it another day."
Although he didn't want to change the situation, seeing Gu Xingxi like this, he felt a little hesitant.
Gu Xingxi leaned on the bed in the lounge. The heating in the room was turned on fully, which made his body feel better and he seemed to be more energetic.
Seeing that he was getting better, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Xingxi glanced at Xia Xingcheng gratefully and already made a decision in his heart, so he said to Zuo Yan, "It's okay. There are still a few shots left. I just need to hold on."
Zuo Yan nodded, looked at Gu Xingxi deeply, and said awkwardly, "Then take a rest, we will be filming later."
After saying this, she went to the dressing room next door, took a piece of her own clothes and put it on the shivering Xia Xingcheng. Although she didn't say anything, Xia Xingcheng knew that she was caring about him.
Although Zuo Yan looks a little cold, he can be quite cute sometimes.
"Thank you." Xia Xingcheng smiled and wrapped her clothes tightly, and then she felt a little warmer all over.
"No need to say thank you, I should thank you, you are very brave." Zuo Yan stood aside and looked at Xia Xingcheng quietly, with admiration in his eyes.
Zuo Yan was always unruly and unruly, but Xia Xingcheng's courage today was so commendable that she really had to admire her with admiration.
They rested for a while, and Gu Xingxi got up and insisted on finishing the last few shots, and then everyone called it a day.
In the evening, Zuo Yan originally wanted to treat Xia Xingcheng and Gu Xingxi to a meal, but Xia Xingcheng felt a little uncomfortable, maybe because she caught a cold, so she declined politely.
After all, Xia Xingcheng had a hunch that she and Zuo Yan would definitely have the opportunity to continue working together in the future.
When they returned, Gu Xingxi insisted on sending Xia Xingcheng back. Xia Xingcheng knew that the child must be feeling guilty, but he did not refuse.
Xia Xingcheng felt a little uncomfortable today, so she asked Gu Xingxi to drive. After all, the boy's body recovered faster than her mother. Although she caught a cold under the water, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Looking at Gu Xingxi's young profile, Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but sigh in her heart that she was really old.
Her poor physical fitness actually has a lot to do with the fact that she was abroad a few years ago. In the first few years when she went there, she didn't have much money, and she didn't dare to be hospitalized when she was sick, so she emptied her body bit by bit.
Thinking like this, Xia Xingcheng quickly sorted out her thoughts and secretly wondered why she remembered the past without even realizing it.
When Gu Xingxi saw Xia Xingcheng's expression, he couldn't help but look worried: "Sister Xing, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable now?"
"It's all my fault. I'm too stupid. Why did my feet suddenly cramp?"
At the end of the sentence, Gu Xingxi's face was full of self-blame.
Xia Xingcheng shook his head and said to him seriously: "Xingxi, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I don't blame you for what happened today. On the contrary, you did the right thing and make me proud of you."
