Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Scene design is one of the core basic skills of screenwriting. As the smallest dramatic unit of a film and television story, the scene directly affects the narrative rhythm and audience appeal.

A good screenwriter will never include anything that takes up too much screen time and is superfluous when designing a scene.

For example, the water cup mentioned earlier.

At this moment.

Wan Qian withdrew her gaze from looking left and right, glanced at Shen Can, took a deep breath, and looked very nervous.

The next second, she looked diagonally forward, spread her arms, and put one hand on Shen Can's shoulder.

Shen Can looked at her.

Immediately after, Wan Qian raised an eyebrow, and her other hand deliberately trembled as she reached for the water glass, as if she wanted to drink. After getting the water glass, it wobbled.

In a situation like this, it wouldn't be right for a "boyfriend" not to help, would it?

Shen Can reached out to help, moving closer to Wan Qian.

Suddenly, Wan Qian launched a sneak attack, taking advantage of Shen Can's close proximity, and quickly kissed Shen Can's lips with her rosy lips.

Shen Can was surprised and his eyes widened.

Wan Qian successfully launched a sneak attack, their lips parted, and the two smiled at each other.

"Gurgle..."

Wan Qian picked up her water glass and took a sip. Shen Can gestured that he wanted some too.

Wan Qian raised an eyebrow and smiled, then took another sip of water, turned her head and hugged Shen Can's neck to kiss him. Her long hair swayed in front of the camera, along with the water cup in her hand, spilling water onto the grass of the playground.

But the two were so engrossed in their kiss that they were oblivious to everything else...

This moment.

Behind the two, the students from the Shanghai Theatre Academy playing extras were all dumbfounded by what they saw.

In fact, the reactions of the students watching behind the director were not exactly the same as those of the extras, but they were not too different.

Everyone stared in disbelief, as if the kissing scene had shut down their brains. Zhao Ji, Su Shen, Wu Wei, Lou Yixiao, and others who had come to watch the spectacle were no exception.

"Card!"

The director's voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a switch had been flipped, and the students erupted in a clamor, instantly turning the playground into a lively place.

"Are they filming a sci-fi movie? Is that right? Huh?!" The short, chubby boy was shocked.

"It's just a sci-fi movie. Such beautiful love doesn't exist. What girl would be so proactive? Shen Can's script is complete nonsense." The clean-cut young man with a buzz cut complained dejectedly.

"My stomach is a little upset, I have to go now."

"I'm speechless. I get fed dog food just watching them film a movie?" A single female college student said sourly, "I suggest one of them be buried in the Northeast and the other in the Southwest."

Shen Can's roommate, Ke Qingchuan, also arrived, his eyes gleaming with jealousy. He exclaimed, "Damn it, that's Senior Wan! Shut up! Wan Qian kissed him on her own initiative!!! I seriously suspect that Can-ge abused his power and did it on purpose! Damn it, I want to be a screenwriter too!"

I knew screenwriters had it easy, and seeing it with my own eyes now makes me even more certain.

Li Jinming crossed his arms over his chest: "So sweet, Senior Wan Qian is so cool."

Zhao Ji bit her lip as she watched. She knew it was a movie shoot, but she just couldn't help being angry.

Su Shengsheng clenched her fists, thinking to herself, "Shen Can's own script, so this is his type? He just takes the initiative? I've learned something new. I want to try it sometime."

Wu Wei had a cold face, her displeasure written all over her face.

At this time.

Wan Qian raised her hand:

"Director, is this enough? Should we save one take?"

The term "keeping one take" simply means reshooting the same scene as a backup or to achieve a better result.

The director is preparing to respond...

"Um?"

Xu Xinran glared at her with eyes as sharp as knives.

The director quickly put on a smile:

"No need to worry, Ms. Wan Qian. You and Mr. Shen Can both performed very well. Let's leave it at that."

He can tell who's paying him.

He only offended Wan Qian, but if he offended Xu Xinran, he might never get any more music video shooting jobs in the future.

As Shen Can's songs became popular across the internet, his music videos also garnered a significant number of views. Consequently, he, as the music video director, began to gain fame both within and outside the industry—an opportunity that many aspiring directors would kill for.

After all, a director needs to be well-known to attract investment.

"That's a wrap, that's a wrap." Xu Xinran clapped her hands quickly, worried that Shen Can would say he wanted to save one of them.

Wan Qian glanced at Xu Xinran, then turned to look at Shen Can, seemingly lost in thought.

Shen Can's gaze, however, fell upon Zhao Ji, the wealthy woman in the crowd.

"She seems unhappy?"

……

Shooting a music video is not like shooting a movie or TV series; the workload is not large.

For example, the music video for "Seven Mile Fragrance" was filmed by Jay Chou during the filming of "Initial D" when he specifically asked the crew for leave, and it only took one day to film.

The filming of the "What's Wrong" music video took a day to complete, with most of the footage shot.

At 7 PM, after finishing her workday, Shen Can returned to her dormitory, took a shower, changed her clothes, and then, with her USB drive in hand, prepared to head to the hotel…

He will still be staying at the hotel tonight.

Since Wan Qian has already paid, and the room has been booked for two days, there's no harm in not staying.

Moreover, it is indeed unsafe to leave Wan Qian alone in a hotel.

These days, it's not as safe as it will be 20 years from now.

For example, Kunshan Long Ge was probably hanging around somewhere in Shanghai at this point, until one day, he would meet the man who sent him to pursue a kindergarten degree...

"Brother Can, going out again tonight?" Wang Teng's smile turned playful when he saw that Shen Can looked like he was going out for the night.

"Did you sleep well with Senior Wan Qian at the hotel last night? I recognized her as Wan Qian then, but I didn't call her out on it."

Chen Bo and Ke Qingchuan were stunned when they heard Wang Teng's words.

Last night? At the hotel? Did you sleep there?

After Chen Bo reacted, he looked at Shen Can in shock: "Holy crap! You got Wan Qian so fast? And you're already in a hotel? Dude, you're awesome, a real man!"

Ke Qingchuan jumped up from the ground and rushed to Shen Can, saying, "Brother, I beg you, teach me! I'm so anxious, I have no way to use my martial arts skills!"

As Ke Qingchuan rushed towards him, Shen Can reached out and, with his superior physical strength, placed a palm directly on Ke Qingchuan's chest, preventing Ke Qingchuan from getting closer.

This guy is so sleazy.

We need to stay away.

"Teach me a thing or two, we're friends, it's not what you think."

Following closely behind, Shen Can looked at Wang Teng and said with a sneer:

"If you say another word out of line, I won't mind putting your name and some of your personal information into a novel, and then shaping you into a sleazy character like Ke Qingchuan."

"You're so ruthless!" Wang Teng gasped, then a fawning smile spread across his face. "Brother, I was wrong, it's not that bad."

He knew how popular Shen Can's novels were.

Even people who don't usually read novels might be tempted to check out a novel written by a celebrity to see if it's worth reading.

For example, his own sister is one of them.

If his wicked younger sister saw this, wouldn't she laugh at him for the rest of her life?

Ke Qingchuan, somewhat bewildered, pointed to his own nose and asked:

"Me? Perverted?"

Shen Can, Wang Teng, and Chen Bo nodded in unison.
