Transmigrated into the body of a tycoon's son's ex-boyfriend

Before filming began, there was a sudden increase in investment, and the costumes, props, and sets were all upgraded. Even the standard of meals for extras was more than doubled.

On the day of the opening ceremony, Dong Yanchen personally came to arrange his seat, placing him directly next to the male lead.

Today, Song Xijin appeared on set again, bringing two cars full of unsigned high-end support meals.

It wasn't hard for him to guess that the person who had invested more money in the production was Song Xijin.

The only reason Song Xijin would invest money in a low-budget web series is because of him.

Song Xijin awkwardly shifted her gaze to the busy staff moving equipment outside the window, and said in a calm voice:

"There's nothing to thank me for. I didn't ask them to give you any special privileges."

He sounded a little unsure of himself when he said that.

Song Xijin did not allow Dong Yanchen to grant Lu Yu any special privileges; the privileges he granted were not the kind that were overtly granted.

They didn't give Lu Yu more screen time, changed her role, or give her better treatment.

He provided a basic guarantee.

This was meant to let Dong Yanchen know that Lu Yu wasn't a newcomer without connections; someone was watching him from behind.

But that's about it.

As for the rest, Lu Yu went to the auditions himself, and he got the roles through his own abilities.

The director and screenwriter's recognition of Lu Yu was also earned by Lu Yu through her own acting skills.

He just invested some money later to make the filming better, so that Lu Yu wouldn't have to wear those cheap studio-style costumes or eat 15-yuan boxed lunches.

Song Xijin believed that she was merely adding icing on the cake.

At least this kid has some conscience; he even knows to say thank you.

When Lu Yu returned to the film set, everyone's gaze towards him changed.

When the props crew handed him water, they called him "Teacher Lu" one more time than usual.

Even the production assistants, who usually barely speak to him, took the initiative to come over and ask him if he needed to rehearse the scene for the afternoon.

Lu Yu knew where this change came from.

He showed no discomfort or took the opportunity to put on airs; he accepted the water pipe and thanked him as usual.

I sat back down in my folding chair and waited for filming to begin.

Qiao Zhixi and Xiao Cheng didn't get out of the RV until just before filming started.

Qiao Zhixi changed into a clean costume, touched up her makeup, and made her eye makeup heavier, trying to use her exquisite makeup to cover up the fact that she had just cried.

Xiao Cheng followed behind him, carrying a thermos and a script.

When walking, I tried to stay close to the edge of Qiao Zhixi's RV, and I didn't dare to look anyone in the eye.

Ye Mingqi followed.

He first went to the monitor and said a few words to Dong Yanchen, then walked up to Lu Yu, who was reading the script.

Lu Yu felt a darkness above his head and looked up at Ye Mingqi.

Ye Mingqi's expression was somewhat complicated, it was hard to tell whether it was apology or helplessness.

"Lu Yu," Ye Mingqi said, and several staff members around him immediately pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of Zhixi."

He was spoiled as a child and isn't very good at getting along with people. I'm sorry about today's events, and those from before.

Lu Yu stared at him for a moment, then placed the script on her lap, her tone flat and devoid of any extra emotion:

"I can overlook these small things, but I hope he won't let his personal emotions affect the filming."

He was neither unforgiving nor pretended to be magnanimous.

Lu Yu's meaning is very clear.

The apology was accepted, but more importantly, Qiao Zhixi's personal emotions had affected the filming schedule.

This is what he truly cares about.

Ye Mingqi understood.

He nodded, his tone more serious than before: "Definitely not. I've already taught him a lesson, he won't bother you again."

Regarding filming, I'll also ask him to adjust his mindset and try not to delay your schedule.

Lu Yu didn't say anything more, stood up, put the script on the chair, and walked towards the dressing room.

He didn't even glance at Qiao Zhixi as he passed by.

During the afternoon shoot, Director Chen's pressure was visibly greater.

The play itself wasn't the problem; it was just that some people who shouldn't have been sitting on the sidelines were there.

The young man in the champagne-colored silk shirt didn't go back to the RV to rest. Instead, he had a chair brought out and sat under the parasol next to the monitor.

Dong Yanchen personally brought him a cup of iced coffee, which he took, sipped, and then placed on the small table next to him without touching it.

This ancestor sat here, saying nothing, just quietly watching the film set.

As soon as Lu Yu's scenes start filming, his gaze will automatically lock onto Lu Yu.

When Lu Yu moved in front of the camera, his eyes followed Lu Yu's movements. When Lu Yu recited his lines, he tilted his head and listened attentively.

During the filming of an action scene, Lu Yu needed to be suspended by wires and leap down from the steps of the main hall, spinning in the air before landing steadily.

The martial arts instructor explained the key points of the movements to Lu Yu in detail beforehand, and the wire stunt team also checked the safety buckles three times.

Lu Yu put on his wire harness and stood at the top of the steps, nodding to the martial arts instructor.

The director yelled "Action!"

Lu Yu leaped into the air from the steps, his moon-white robe unfurling in the wind, while his silver-gray gauze was lifted by the air currents, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

When he turned in the air, his body was taut and his core strength was very stable.

When she landed, her knees bent slightly to absorb the impact, and the hem of her clothes fluttered down, falling in layers.

"Cut! That's a pass!" Director Chen shouted from behind the monitor, his voice filled with undisguised satisfaction.

Such a difficult wire stunt, completed in one take, is practically a pipe dream in web series production teams.

Lu Yu unfastened the harness and walked to the sidelines to drink water.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and the stray hairs at his temples were damp with sweat and stuck to his temples. His cheeks were also flushed with a healthy red from the intense exercise he had just done.

He picked up his water bottle and took several gulps.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and a drop of water spilled from the corner of his mouth, trickling down his jawline.

He casually wiped it away with the back of his hand.

Song Xijin sat under the parasol, the iced coffee in her hand had lost its coolness.

When Lu Yu was suspended by wires just now, his heart almost stopped.

Such high steps, such thin steel wires, and that movement of turning in mid-air...

What if the steel wire breaks? What if the safety buckle comes loose?

He didn't know that actors filmed like this before.

He thought it was just a matter of standing in front of the camera, reciting a few lines, and making a few expressions.

It turned out that he had to be suspended on a steel wire and fly around, doing those difficult moves that made his legs weak just looking at them.

Director Chen also thought it was remarkable that he got it right in one take.

Song Xijin wished she could bring the entire wire stunt team over and do another ten or eight safety checks.

Dong Yancheng walked up to him at some point, holding a bottle of ice water.

He followed Song Xijin's gaze to Lu Yu on the sidelines, and lowered his voice to say:

"Brother Song, Lu Yu is indeed very hardworking."

These kinds of action scenes usually require actors to try several times before they get it right, but he did it on the first try. Director Chen was just telling me that he'd struck gold.

Song Xijin gave him a look.

Dong Yancheng understood immediately.

He walked behind the monitor, bent down, and whispered a few words to Director Chen.

Director Chen looked up at the sky, then at his watch, and nodded.

It's good to finish work early today.
