Chapter 316
Qin Wei closed the closet door, and saw a bottle of juice in her open suitcase, so she picked it up and opened it to drink, then found a place to sit down:
"Of course, Li Liang told me that I was drunk and mean to her and hit you too. But I apologized to her and to you too, so let's turn the page on this. I was drinking for the sake of our career, so you can consider it a sacrifice of myself for the organization. You're not allowed to keep bringing this up, because I can flip out too."
Qiao Sixiao smiled and sighed, rubbing her eyebrows:
"Is that the reason for drinking my juice?"
Qin Wei handed it to Qiao Sixiao to drink, and as expected, she refused it. So Qin Wei said:
"Anyway, you don't like to drink it...
Teacher Qiao, do you still remember our CP?"
"Weixiao?"
Qiao Sixiao hesitated for a moment before recalling it. This CP was hyped up during the show "Against the Wind". It did give her a lot of popularity at the time, and the two of them also took the opportunity to work hard at putting on a show in front of the camera. Later when the show disbanded, their promotional partnership also ended.
Although they rarely appeared together now, they still kept in touch privately.
Qin Wei nodded: "Yeah."
Qiao Sixiao asked: "It hasn't gone cold yet?"
"Nope..." you're going to anger the CP fans to death?"
Qin Wei said seriously,
"The super topic and fan club are still going strong, scolding and complaining that we don't do fan service... But they are really amazing, if there's no new content they just make up their own... The childhood friends stories start all the way from kindergarten, in the eyes of the CP fans I was always a timid person who needed your protection since I was little...
Sigh... But it's still sweet, I've been reading them, just slow updates..."
Qiao Sixiao was impatient, could she not know that Qin Wei just wanted to pull her along to eat up the CP fanfiction??
She didn't know if it was sweet or not, the key was that she didn't want to read it.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"Well, Teacher Qiao, I wanted to discuss something with you, can we take out our old CP from the past and hype it up again?"
"Why?"
"I feel so bad for the CP fans... I ship CPs too... The CP fans are so pitiful, with no new content from the real people they can only re-hash old stuff to feed their obsession..."
Qiao Sixiao: "..."
Qiao Sixiao said to her:
"Your reputation has collapsed recently, my mom said no." Qin Wei: "???"
......
The next morning at the set, all the actors were standing in the cold wind waiting to start shooting.
The temperature difference between day and night was quite big. Qin Wei was wearing a red outfit, which looked a bit thin in the morning chill, making one feel a little heartache at the sight.
Shen Kai took the coat he had draped over himself and walked over.
"Cold? Why wear so little?"
A windbreaker was draped over her, the tone carried some reproach.
Qin Wei turned her head, and it turned out to be Qiao Sixiao.
"Teacher Qiao you're here!"
The just earlier cold-faced Qin Wei now blossomed into a smile. Qiao Sixiao also cooperated very well, cupping her hands and breathing on them, at the same time rubbing her icy hands, while saying to her:
"That assistant of yours is muddled, letting you stand in the cold wind and freeze. They're fired, I'll find you a better one."
"I'll listen to you."
Qin Wei coquettishly responded, and just leaned in towards her, but was stopped by Qiao Sixiao pressing down on her head, whispering:
"That's enough out of you, if this gets photographed, He Hong will immediately cancel you..."
"Oh."
Qin Wei straightened up, and started hopping around next to her to warm up for the upcoming horse riding scene.
Qiao Sixiao watched her from the side, a gentle smile on her face.
She also kept Shen Kai in view from the corner of her eye. He was standing not far away, a cold look on his face, holding a coat in his hand while looking at Qin Wei.
How could she not know about Qin Wei's little schemes?
What "hype up the old CP again"? Clearly she just wanted to use her as a human shield, to keep Shen Kai away.
Wanting to take advantage of others with just that little bit of scheming? Really just a little kid from elementary school in those fan fictions huh?
But use away. Keeping him at a distance wasn't a bad thing.
Thinking this, Qiao Sixiao was in not too bad a mood. She unconsciously turned her head, only to see Shen Kai looking at her.
That look, meaningful.
...
The horse riding scene was about to start shooting, there were many such grand scenes in this drama.
The riding scenes on the grasslands were a focus of the first half of the drama. The director was a perfectionist, so there were certain requirements on the actors' physical strength and horse riding skills during casting. After arriving, time was specially set aside to train them, all in order to present the best on camera.
"Brother Kai, let me help you onto the horse."
Shen Kai was in position, and the assistant came to ask before shooting started.
Shen Kai shook his head, then looked towards not far away at Qin Wei, who was holding the reins while looking at something. So Shen Kai walked over and said softly to her:
"Let me help you onto the horse." "Oh, no need."
Qin Wei looked back at him, seeming a bit distracted, instead looking for something in the sea of people.
"Qiao!"
Qin Wei waved at Qiao Sixiao who was passing by, signaling her to quickly come over.
Qiao Sixiao was originally going to get made up, but being called like this she temporarily walked over.
"Sit in front of the monitor and watch me. I have the horse riding and archery scene coming up soon, let me show you what real archery on horseback is.
Yesterday's mistakes were because I was still getting used to the bow, but today I already know how to use it. I want to demonstrate true skill to you!"
Qin Wei was fully confident about this.
"Wow, okay."
Seeing Qiao Sixiao agree, Qin Wei felt reassured. With one foot in the stirrup and one hand holding the reins and the other supporting the saddle, she nimbly swung up onto the horse. Sitting atop the horse, she asked Qiao Sixiao again:
"Do you know how to ride a horse?"
"No."
Qiao Sixiao looked at her, involuntarily pulling up the corners of her mouth,
"What, you want to teach me?"
Qin Wei arched her brows:
"One lesson, one thousand."
"Bye!"
Qiao Sixiao turned and left, with Little Wang following her side saying the schedule arrangements:
"Sis let's go get makeup first, then we have a scene with Su Yang later..."
"Didn't you hear her boasting just now? I'll go see for myself if Qin Wei is capable or not."
...
Qin Wei was already atop the horse, so Shen Kai no longer had reason to stand here either. He returned to his own horse, took the reins, swung up onto it, and came to Qin Wei's side.
"Later you take the outer side, relax your whole body, no need to be too nervous..."
He carefully instructed, but Qin Wei impatiently rode the horse away, seems like she missed yesterday's horse riding scene, and didn't find a chance to go back and practice more. Yet she still came to lecture her.
...
At the start of official shooting, Qiao Sixiao, Director Yao, and Director Jiang sat together in front of the monitor. On the screen they saw hundreds of people on horseback galloping over from the distance, the scene was extremely spectacular.
After shooting this scene, they promptly made some adjustments, and started shooting the scene of several main characters galloping on horseback, then drawing bows and shooting arrows while at full speed.
The girl in red clothes came galloping from afar, behind her was her brother who was also on horseback. The two successively drew their bows, shooting their feathered arrows towards the distance.
With a swish, the arrows streaked past in front of the camera, hitting the targets that were set up in advance.
"Cut! This take is good, next one!"
