In the next few days, Tang Weiwei asked for instructions less frequently.
In a blink of an eye, a Sunday passed.
The TV series "Boys Over Flowers" officially started filming.
The first shooting location was the rooftop terrace of the Humanities Building of Jiaotong University.
The first scene shot was the female lead Shancai, who saw a bullied male student about to jump off a building, and she saved his life.
Xu Xiuwen does not have any role in this scene.
However, since it was the first scene for the entire crew, he did not miss it and arrived at the filming location in advance.
Hang Fei specially chose this scene to start filming, considering that firstly the rooftop would not be disturbed, and secondly there were not many lines in this scene, so it should be a relatively simple scene for a newcomer like Bai Yue'er.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Bai Yue'er put on her makeup with the help of a makeup artist and stood at the stairs of the rooftop wearing the clothes provided by the crew.
The extras and cameras are all ready.

Chapter 111 The Gifted Bai Yue'er
Shancai rushed to the rooftop with two dry-cleaned clothes, shouting, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, Li He."
There was a group of students watching on the top floor, and near the wall, a boy with blood on his face was about to jump off the building.
When the boy heard Shancai's shout, he turned around and asked hesitantly, "Who... who are you?"
Shancai replied, "As for me, if you're asking me, I'm here to deliver goods. I'm from Shancai Dry Cleaning Shop, and I've got your clothes dry cleaned for 50 yuan."
As Shancai spoke, all the students watching around started laughing.
The boy who was about to jump off the building was also speechless.
Shancai, who didn't know how to appreciate it, thought the boy thought it was too expensive, so she lowered the price, "Then it's 45 yuan, no less, but I hope you will come more often in the future."
The boy finally spoke, "After I die, you can ask my family for it."
"Don't be like this..." Shancai thought the other party wanted to shirk his responsibility, but suddenly realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "You want to commit suicide? You want to commit suicide when you are studying in such a good school?"
The boy had a look of despair on his face and shook his head, "This is not a school, this is hell."
Shancai immediately retorted, "Outside is hell, okay?"
The boy asked back: "Have you heard of F4?"
"F4?" Shancai looked confused.
"Once you are given a red card by them, you will become the target of attack by all students in the school, like me."
Shancai finally understood that the boy had been subjected to violence and that was how the blood on his face came about.
"Is there no one taking care of them?" the righteous girl asked a soul-searching question.
"Those lawless people like to get together and act arrogantly. If they were in our school, I would have taught them a lesson long ago."
Shancai's cute appearance made the boy laugh. He looked at Shancai and said, "I really envy your friends for having a friend like you."
After saying that, the boy jumped down.
Shancai was startled and rushed over, grabbing the boy's arm before he fell.
That’s all there is to the scene on the rooftop.
As Hang Fei said "start", Bai Yue'er, who played Shancai, rushed to the rooftop with dry-cleaned clothes, reciting the lines from the script.
The director did not call for a stop and the filming continued.
Soon, Bai Yue'er and the boy's rivalry began.
I don’t know whether I should praise Bai Yue’er for her talent. Her expressions and movements are very good, and she portrayed the appearance of the 18-year-old girl Shancai vividly.
Apart from the fact that the lines were spoken a little too fast and the voice was a little soft, making it difficult to hear clearly, there were no other problems.
This minor problem was corrected during the second take and never appeared again.
It only took Bai Yue'er two takes to complete the first scene very smoothly.
After the last scene was filmed, Hang Fei called out "cut" and immediately gave applause, "Very good, the first scene was well performed."
Other crew members also gave applause.
Bai Yue'er was very excited. She did not hold back, but was praised and recognized by the director. She was so happy that she almost took off.
After the first scene was finished, the crew prepared to move to another location to shoot the second scene.
When the crew members were moving equipment and props, Bai Yueer quietly walked up to Xu Xiuwen and asked, "How was my performance?"
Xu Xiuwen guessed her purpose and praised her generously, "Very good. If I didn't know it was your first time acting, I would have thought you were a student majoring in acting."
Bai Yueer smiled brightly when she heard his words.
Then Bai Yueer acted like a senior, suddenly reached out and patted Xu Xiuwen on the shoulder, and said in a conscientious manner, "Xiao Xu, I believe you can be like me, don't be nervous, keep going."
Xu Xiuwen was amused by Bai Yue'er's behavior.
On the first day of filming, there was no Xu Xiuwen's scenes, only Bai Yue'er's scenes.
The two chatted briefly and hurriedly followed the crew to the next place. In fact, it was not far away, still in the Humanities Building, just on a different floor.
At noon, the lunch boxes ordered by Tang Weiwei and field clerk Lu Hu arrived.
A total of 100 boxed lunches were ordered from a restaurant on South Street that Xu Xiuwen often visited. The food tasted good, and the quantity was large and the price was affordable.
Including extras, there were only 82 people in the entire crew this morning. No one had any special meals, and everyone had boxed lunches, even director Hang Fei was no exception.
Some people had big appetites and ate two box lunches, but Xu Xiuwen did not stop them. After all, except for the hired extras, students basically ate for free, and it would be unacceptable if they were not given enough food.
After everyone had received their lunch boxes, there were only ten left on the table.
When the lunch boxes were being distributed, Xu Xiuwen was there to help Lu Hu and Tang Weiwei. The three of them each received a lunch box, and there were seven left.
Tang Weiwei looked at the extra lunch box, walked to Xu Xiuwen, and whispered "I'm sorry."
Xu Xiuwen was eating a box lunch when he suddenly heard the girl's apology and was confused.
Tang Weiwei continued, "I'm sorry, I didn't calculate the number of servings correctly and ordered seven more, which caused a waste."
After hearing this, Xu Xiuwen couldn't help laughing.
In his opinion, although the crew is short of funds, they are not to be upset about a few boxed lunches.
He also knew that this was Tang Weiwei's character, so he comforted her, "No one can be precise enough. It's normal to have a few more lunch boxes. Don't feel psychologically stressed."
Tang Weiwei nodded, but was still thinking in her heart how to order food more accurately so as not to cause any waste.
After eating the box lunch, I had an hour's rest.
We continued filming at 1pm.
There were no scenes involving Xu Xiuwen in the past two days, and the scenes were mainly about Bai Yue'er and Miss Yang Zi.
Xu Xiuwen discovered that Bai Yue'er was indeed very talented in acting. Although their drama was a campus youth idol drama and did not require high acting skills, it did require some acting skills.
But Bai Yue'er is obviously a newcomer, but her performance is no worse than those students majoring in acting.
Xu Xiuwen watched for a whole day. Bai Yue'er's facial expressions and movements were very good, except for her lines which were not very good under the camera. Most of the shots could be passed in one or two takes, and a small part could be passed in four or five takes at most.
Xu Xiuwen watched Bai Yue'er acting, but his heart was beating fast. He and Bai Yue'er were both newcomers, and now that Bai Yue'er was performing so well, he was under a lot of pressure.
If I wait until it's his turn and his performance is too bad, it would be embarrassing.
Amid Xu Xiuwen's worries, the two days of filming passed quickly.
Hang Fei privately adapted the novel into a script, and also drew some storyboard manuscripts based on the content of the script and his overall conception.
Xu Xiuwen didn't know much about it, but he knew it was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two.
It can be seen that Hang Fei sacrificed almost all his personal time for this drama.
In a blink of an eye, it is the third day of filming. This afternoon we have Xu Xiuwen's scenes, or to be more precise, f4's scenes. What we are going to shoot today is the first appearance of f4.
One o'clock in the afternoon, before the shooting began.
F4, including Xu Xiuwen, had their makeup done with the help of makeup artist Ning Yue, and all their clothes were rented luxury brands.
Chapter 112 Are You Just Busy Hanging Out with Xu Xiuwen
The shooting location is still the Humanities Building of Jiaotong University, but this time it is not the rooftop, but the lobby on the first floor.
When f4 made their first appearance, all the boys and girls in the building rushed downstairs to watch. Daomingsi saw that one of the male classmates was wearing the same shirt as his, so he stained the other's shirt with juice.
Shancai saw the whole process.
Xu Xiuwen didn't have many scenes and few lines, but it was his first time acting after all, so Xu Xiuwen was a little nervous.
Before the shooting started, Ning Yue noticed his nervousness and consoled him with a smile, "It's okay, you're the most popular boy on campus, so any problem is just a piece of cake for you, right?"
Xu Xiuwen immediately smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Sister Yue, please stop making fun of me."
I don’t know who spread the name of his Jiangling school idol, but these days, when the crew members see him, they always like to say “Jiangling school idol”.
F3, who was standing next to them, heard their conversation and started laughing.
