Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 85 This Time is a Little Different
Gao Yuanyuan has a happy family.

Her husband is a very talented young screenwriter and they have a very lovely daughter. She loves her husband very much and for him she quit her job as a piano teacher and stays at home to take care of their lovely daughter.

Gao Yuanyuan thought that life would be like this forever.

Until one day, the bad news came that her beloved husband actually had a lover outside, who was the little daughter of a big boss in the underworld.

The gang leader issued a hunting order to get rid of the bastard who cheated on his daughter.

From that day on, her husband was never seen alive or dead.

Her brother told her that the scum must be dead, and might have been put into a sack and thrown into the sea.

Fearing retaliation, Gao Yuanyuan decided to return to her husband's hometown, Kwun Tong, with her daughter, but she still secretly hoped that she could wait for her disappeared husband in Kwun Tong.

While driving hurriedly to Kwun Tong, the car broke down on the road.

She called a nearby repair shop, and the owner came over to take a look. It turned out that the car was out of gas. Perhaps she was in a hurry when she came and didn't pay attention.

The repairman towed the car back and asked her why she came to Kwun Tong on the way.

She said she came to Kwun Tong to settle down and wanted to open a piano training class here.

The owner of the repair shop enthusiastically helped her find a shop and was very helpful. He was a nice man.

Gao Yuanyuan found a kindergarten for her daughter, tried to make friends with her neighbors, and gave decoration advice to a clothing store owner she didn't even know.

While getting a haircut, she accidentally heard the clothing store owner's gossip in the barber shop. It was like a bucket of cold water poured on her head, making Gao Yuanyuan realize that in the eyes of others, she was just a neurotic and problematic woman.

In order to fit in here, Gao Yuanyuan lied and disguised herself as a very glamorous and successful person. She also looked for land everywhere and said that she was planning to buy land and establish an industry.

So, naturally, she, a "successful person", easily integrated into the local community.

While she was singing with her new friends and enjoying the release of long-suppressed emotions, the lie brought even more serious news: her daughter was kidnapped.

She had no money to pay the ransom, so her daughter was brutally murdered.

Desperate and helpless, she chose to escape again and joined Christianity in the hope of redeeming her soul.

Everything seemed to be going well. She was moved by God's grace and decided to go to the prison and tell the murderer in person that she had decided to forgive him.

But in prison, the murderer proudly said that he had also converted to Christianity and had been forgiven by God.

It was like a bolt from the blue. Gao Yuanyuan felt that the whole world was no longer bright - how could God, how could He, forgive the murderer of her daughter without even asking for her opinion?
why?
What qualifications does He have to do this?

Is this what they call equality of all beings in the eyes of God?

Her faith collapsed and her spirit broke down.

……

"why?"

Gao Yuanyuan screamed, opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face, her expression furious, and stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.

After a long time, she moved her fingers slightly, closed her eyes, opened them again, and closed them again.

She took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and whispered to herself, "I don't have a husband, I don't have a daughter..."

Then, she spoke faster, "I have no husband, no daughter, no husband, no daughter... um..."

With a humming sound, she could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart and covered her face with her hands, "Hmm... Hmm..."

After crying for about ten minutes, Gao Yuanyuan put down her hands, slowly got off the bed, staggered and almost fell, and slowly walked to the bathroom.

She scooped up a handful of freezing cold water and splashed it on her face. Then she looked at herself in the mirror and whispered to herself in a slightly hoarse voice, "Gao Yuanyuan, you, have no husband, no daughter, you, may be a little too into the role..."

Then, she frowned slightly. Why was it him? Was it because he had tormented her for a whole day yesterday and she was so upset by him that she couldn't help but hate him in her heart, so he became the scumbag husband in her dream?
Gao Yuanyuan seemed to be venting her anger. She clenched her fists and waved them twice, saying silently, "Go to hell, Cao Yang, you damn scumbag!"

……

The next day, continue shooting.

After Gao Yuanyuan arrived, she looked at Cao Yang with a complicated expression. She knew she had no reason to blame him, but she couldn't help but greet him gently in her heart, "Bah, go to hell, scumbag!"

"Good morning, Director Cao."

Gao Yuanyuan's voice was a little hoarse, but her tone was still very gentle.

"Morning, Yuanyuan, are you okay?"

Cao Yang glanced at Gao Yuanyuan with a complicated expression. It was this woman that he had tried his best to make her collapse. In the end, this useless system still made him devote himself to three immersive experiences in one go before giving up!

The garbage system is fucking excessive. It is impossible to use it unless you add three at once.

Pah, what rubbish!
Cao Yang observed Gao Yuanyuan for a while. On the surface, she seemed to be fine, unlike Li Xiaoran at the beginning, who really couldn't distinguish between the play and reality.

It seems that Gao Yuanyuan's breakdown yesterday was probably just emotional, and it was different from Li Xiaoran's near mental breakdown.

The assistant came over to remind us that it was almost time for the appointment.

"Attention all units, filming will begin in ten minutes."

Cao Yang gave instructions while holding the walkie-talkie.

Therefore, the scene immediately entered working mode, the machine made the final adjustments, the stylist quickly checked whether makeup was needed, and the lighting was also adjusted for the final time. Everything was in order.

"Teacher Gu, is it the same as yesterday?" Ning Hao asked.

Gu Changwei slapped Ning Hao on the head, "Like a fart, hurry up and work, Director Cao has ordered, shoot normally."

"okay."

Ning Hao smiled foolishly and quickly prepared with another assistant.

It was the same shot that had tortured Gao Yuanyuan for almost a whole day yesterday. After the script supervisor marked it, he hit the board in front of the camera with a "click".

Before the filming, Gao Yuanyuan was a little nervous, fearing that she would be tortured to death again.

When the script supervisor clapped the clapboard and the filming began, she seemed to have experienced this kind of thing before and was very familiar with it. She spoke naturally with a little bit of arrogance but a very gentle tone while holding the phone and looking around.

"Where? How do I know where this is? There's a road sign saying it's four kilometers away from Kwun Tong..."

"Crack!"

Cao Yang shouted, and then with a smile on his face, "Passed."

The crew was silent for a moment, and then everyone seemed to be in disbelief. The shot that they had spent so much time on yesterday was passed so easily?
Yes, it passed.

Cao Yang suppressed his smile and said in a serious tone, "What are you all standing there for? Get ready for the next set of shots."

Afterwards, the crew seemed to come alive, and everyone returned to work one by one, but many people couldn't help but wonder, was it a coincidence?

The script supervisor claps the clapboard and the second shot of the day begins shooting.

While talking on the phone, Gao Yuanyuan stopped a car, ran over hurriedly and asked the driver what location this was.

Everything happened naturally, without any deliberateness, and it went through again.

Is it still a coincidence?
Maybe these are not enough to show my acting skills. There was a shot in the afternoon that particularly required acting skills, and it was on the side of the road, just not far away from the weed beach.
