747 A Million Times for You 109 (1/2)

”Yes, he's Director Jing's younger brother. They recruited him at the last minute. I heard that he's very competent and has received various accolades for the productions he had filmed previously.”

”Brother, the Director would like you two to go to the makeup room now,” said Xiao Li, interrupting their conversation.

”Got it.” Yan Ge picked up the script and said, ”Seems like we don't have time to rehearse. Let's go.”

Fang Erlan picked hers up and proceeded to the makeup room together with him.

While they were having their makeup done, Jing Tian explained to them in detail the pointers to look out for during the filming of the scenes, which would be taking place in the afternoon. Yan Ge was pleased with how meticulous and precise Jing Tian was in his explanation for each scene.

By the time Jing Tian had finished speaking, they were almost done with the makeup. After changing into their costumes, they exited from the dressing room, only to be greeted with the sight of a tall man standing next to Jing Tian. He had bushy brows and big eyes, and he resembled Jing Tian a little.

”This is Jing Shui, the new co-director who has just returned from abroad to join our team,” Jing Tian introduced, refraining from mentioning the fact that Jing Shui was his brother.

”Hello, nice to meet you,” Yan Ge took the initiative to greet him with a handshake.

”Nice to meet you.” Jing Shui subconsciously reached his hand out to Fang Erlan, who shook his hand courteously.

They formally greeted each other.

Somehow, Fang Erlan felt that there was something peculiar with the way Jing Shui was looking at her, though she was not sure if she was reading too much into things.

They proceeded to the film set, after which Yan Ge's scene was filmed first. When Fang Erlan was sitting on the chair to wait for her turn, Xiao Yue sneakily slid her a piece of note.

”What's this?”

”Sis, this is from the new co-director.”

She opened it to see that there was a string of numbers written on the note, which seemed to be a mobile number.

Fang Erlan turned to look in the direction of the camera, only to see that Jing Shui was smiling at her. Although he was dashing and suave, Fang Erlan felt a strange shiver down her spine.

She had a bad impression of Jing Shui, though she was unsure if she was simply reading too much into things or if she was traumatized by the director of the previous film she starred in, who tried to violate her. However, she still saved his contact number into her mobile phone. After all, there was no harm in doing so since he was the co-director of the television series and the brother of Jing Tian.

Shortly after she had saved his number, she immediately received a text message from him.

She opened the text message, which read: ”I'm treating everyone to a meal after filming ends tonight. Would you like to come along too?”

Thinking that everyone else would be present, Fang Erlan agreed.

Yan Ge proceeded to film the second scene, which Fang Erlan was involved in, right after he finished filming his first scene.

The two of them rehearsed their lines once more before beginning.

”Erlan, this is a mild-mannered female pony, which we specially chose for you. Get on top of her and try riding for a bit while I guide you,” said Jing Tian, walking toward them while holding onto the pony's leash.

”Alright.”

The pony was indeed very tame and docile. Fang Erlan could sense its temperament while riding it.

Even when it was galloping around, it would go about it in a calm and unhurried manner, causing Fang Erlan to find it to be extremely well behaved.

She had picked it up, more or less, after practicing for a few rounds.

The crew member clapped the clapperboard while the rest of the team got into their respective positions.

”1, 2, 3… action!” Jing Tian cued.

Fang Erlan sat on the pony and gripped onto the reins tightly with both hands. She began saying her lines to Yan Ge, who was beside her, and they both got into their roles quickly.

After saying her lines, she whipped the pony, which then strutted forward. The entire process was rather smooth.

Just as they were in the midst of a smooth filming procedure, the pony neighed loudly all of a sudden and began sprinting toward a certain direction, causing Fang Erlan to shriek in terror.
