Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

Once Ms. Liu got into character, she returned to being that cheerful and playful girl.

He greets everyone warmly in the morning, except for Xie Jin...

It's obvious he's still angry.

During filming, Ms. Liu's eyes were captivating, and she perfectly portrayed the gentle grace and youthful charm of a young woman.

The two had amazing chemistry on camera, and even many people in the crew shipped them. They looked like a couple to anyone.

But only Xie Jin knew that her sweet and girly demeanor was only when she was in front of the camera.

If they were alone and bumped into each other, she would glare at herself.

Or they're deliberately ignoring me, and they just won't say anything, clearly still holding a grudge.

Filming is progressing very quickly.

The rest of the footage was shot in just one week.

Although it's a love story, there's no real romantic contact, which was promised to Liu's mother.

The only kissing scene was done using a camera trick.

From the start of filming until now, as filming nears its end, Liu's mother has been watching Xie Jin with a mysterious smile the entire time.

When Xie turns on his phone, his eyes are more affectionate than a dog's; after he says "cut," he becomes more obedient than a dog.

Even when it was Liu Yifei, he remained unmoved, afraid that Liu's mother would notice something was wrong.

After filming all the shots in the afternoon, we had a simple wrap party at a local restaurant.

When Lao Ning was reviewing the footage, he felt that one of the establishing shots was a bit lacking, and he could just add an establishing shot tomorrow morning.

.........

At this moment, Xie Jin finally let go of all the pressure. Although it was full of twists and turns, she finally finished filming without any major incidents.

A man walked out of the hotel, sat by the Haihe River, and unusually pried open a bottle of ice-cold beer.

I just spoke with Mr. Yu on the phone. The post-production of this film isn't very complicated.

Editing, dubbing, color grading, plus the production of the music EP for the end credits and climax of the plot, plus submitting it for approval and obtaining the film license, can be completed in two or three months if all goes well.

Yu Dong originally wanted Xie Jin to wait a bit longer and schedule the October National Day release.

But Xie Jin felt that the time was too long and that she needed to hurry up and get the money back to make other things.

The two finally set the date for May Day. Once Xie Jin finished her work, President Yu would finalize the matter.

Although there have been many and complicated things lately, everything is progressing smoothly.

..........

Although it was still chilly in Tianjin at the end of winter, the coldest part of the season had passed.

  

With no particular thoughts in mind, Xie Jin just wanted to quietly space out for a while, let her brain rest, and watch the ripples of the Haihe River.

"Hey, what are you doing here so late at night? I thought you were a homeless person."

Xie Jin turned around and asked, "What are you doing here? Why are you out so late?"

Miss Liu pouted, "I secretly followed you all the way here to see what mischief you were up to..."

The sea breeze gently caressed her hair. Miss Liu stood there with her hands behind her back, wearing a white dress that swayed gently in the breeze. Xie Jin was momentarily stunned. Under the streetlights, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Seeing Xie Jin looking at her, Miss Liu turned her face to the side and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her finger.

"Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Xie Jin glanced wearily at the hem of her skirt: "Who wears thermal underwear under their skirt?"

Miss Liu's eyelids twitched; she hadn't even planned to argue.

But somehow, he can stir up his own emotions whenever he speaks.

"You deserve to have that nasty mouth of yours ripped off!"

As she spoke, Miss Liu sat down next to Xie Jin and looked at a case of iced beer on the ground.

Give me a bottle.

What kind of alcohol should children drink?

Miss Liu's eyelids twitched twice, and she said again, "You're such a child... Ugh! I'm so angry!"

"Xie Jin, when I'm talking to you nicely, you'd better speak like a human being. Don't make me beat you up when I'm at my happiest."

Xie Jin rolled her eyes and pried open a bottle for her.

This little guy is not to be trifled with.

Worried she might drink too much, I added, "You can only have one."

Miss Liu took a small sip, the bubbles bursting on her tongue, and her slightly furrowed brows made her look like a little bitter gourd.

"What's so good about this? It's not sweet at all."

Sitting on the bench, Liu Yifei's little feet swung back and forth. A sea breeze brought a chill, and she subconsciously hugged her shoulders.

Xie Jin glanced at him and saw that he knew to wear long underwear down there, but his shoulders were exposed up there. This kid wasn't very bright.

The coat was tossed onto her lap in a flash.

Miss Liu bit her lower lip. "No, it stinks."

"Take it or leave it; if you don't want it, give it back to me."

Miss Liu glared at Xie Jin. "Would it kill you to give way to me? Dream on! I'd rather throw you in the river than give you back."

Perhaps it was the sea breeze and the moon that made her feel sentimental. Ms. Liu buried herself in his large coat, and the woody scent and warmth made her feel much more comfortable.

The two remained silent, sipping their beer while gazing at the distant twinkling lights.

Xie Jin was preoccupied with post-production and distribution, while Miss Liu was lost in the emotions of a young girl.

She couldn't quite tell whether she disliked him or really disliked him.

Anyway, Xie Jin is really an annoying guy...

How long passed like this...

After finishing a bottle, Xie Jin reached down and grabbed nothing, discovering that the beer case was gone.

Wait a minute, I just drank two.

Turning her head, Xiao Liu's face was flushed, her eyes were darting around, and she was clearly feeling guilty. She was swaying back and forth on the bench.

Without a doubt, she made all four beer bottles.

"How many did you drink?"

After having a few beers, Ms. Liu was noticeably different from usual; her eyes were more aggressive.

Liu Yifei stood up and looked down at Xie Jin, one hand on her hip and the other patting her bulging belly: "Four beers, all gone! I'll drink you under the table!"

Four? Are you crazy?

"You're upset about drinking four beers from me? *burp*"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly let out a small hiccup, which startled Ms. Liu.

Xie Jin couldn't help but laugh when she saw her dazed and charming appearance.

"No...don't laugh...hiccup"

"You're still laughing... *hiccup*"

She hiccuped after every sentence she spoke, which made Liu Yifei blush with embarrassment.

It was completely different from her usual image.

"You've had too much to drink. Let's go home."

Seeing Xie Jin stand up to leave, Liu Yifei grabbed her, glaring at her fiercely, "No way! Who said I'm drunk? I'll walk in a straight line for you!"

Watching her wobble like a penguin under the streetlights, waiting for her praise, Xie Jin felt that this moment was truly wonderful.

The young woman, Liu, stood with her hands swaying slightly, her expression nonchalant, as if asking, "Isn't that straight? Isn't that impressive?"

"That's amazing! That's incredible!"

Some children shouldn't be praised, because praising them will make them lose themselves.

"I can even do somersaults, let me show you one."

"Don't!"

Xie Jin was a step too late to stop her. Miss Liu, relying on her martial arts training in the Tianlong drama crew, insisted on putting on a show.

Cool!

He flipped over, his legs gave way, and he crashed straight down.

...........

Under the streetlights

A tall man stood there, the whistling wind just now reaching his ears.

A jade-like leg wearing long underwear landed on his shoulder, and a small foot was right next to his ear.

Miss Liu seemed to regain some of her senses, realizing what she had done. Wind whistled under her skirt, and her voice trembled with tears, "You...you're dead if you dare bow your head!"

"I'm closing my eyes, I'm closing my eyes. What are you so nervous about when you're wearing long johns?"

A man can be charming but not lewd; taking advantage of someone in distress is not the act of a gentleman.

Xie Jin swallowed hard and quickly closed her eyes.

The two were locked in a stalemate when several elderly men fishing along the river spotted them from afar.

"Wow, these young people really know how to have fun!"

"Wow, this little girl knows martial arts? That's hilarious!"

Upon hearing that someone was there, Xie Jin immediately shouted anxiously, "Let's go!"

Seeing that it was still quite far away, the two of them were about to run without thinking. As a result, Liu Yifei sat on the ground and looked up at Xie Jin with a pitiful expression.

"I...I strained my leg...it hurts, Xie Jin."
