Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

But people are strange; they don't want to bring these things up for everyone to talk about, but sometimes they seem to want someone to see them... and then tell her.

I've seen your efforts.

It's been so long, but I haven't waited for it.

just now……

It seems we've finally gotten what we've been waiting for.

It seems we didn't get to see it.

-

Visiting the set is actually quite simple.

Having decided to set off, Yu Ci booked a flight to Z Film City using his mobile phone, prepared some small items, informed the locals, and then set off with his bag.

Unlike last time, she seemed very relaxed this time.

Back at the familiar film studio, seeing the familiar Xiao Qing, Yu waved, "Xiao Qing!"

"Yu Ci, you're finally here!" Xiao Qing fanned herself with her hand and ran to Yu Ci's side. "Sister Gu is waiting for you."

"Wait for me?" Yu Ci was taken aback. "Don't you have filming today?" Shouldn't the crew be working at this hour?

"There are no scenes with Sister Gu today."

"..."

What the heck? If I remember correctly, Gu Qiushui is supposed to be the female lead, right? It's a short romance drama, and the female lead isn't even in the show this morning?

"Hey, something happened on set. Let's go back first and let Sister Gu tell you." Xiaoqing said with a sigh, clearly speechless about what happened on set.

Completely bewildered, I arrived at the small hotel.

The furnishings on the fourth floor remained unchanged, just as they were when she left.

No, there is a slight difference.

Recently, in order to play a glamorous role, Gu Qiushui dyed her long straight hair into the cheongsam curls unique to the Republican era.

Now, she is much more alluring and captivating than before.

"Sister Qiushui".

"You're here." Upon seeing Yu Ci, Gu Qiushui quickly put down her script and stood up. "Have you eaten?"

"not yet……"

"Let's go out for dinner together first."

The meal lasted for almost half a day, and Yu Ci could clearly sense that Gu Qiushui was very free.

During the meal, she asked about this issue, and Gu Qiushui almost rolled her eyes. "The only role I have recently had is a new one."

"A new, new character?" The show is almost finished filming, and there's already a new character?

Gu Qiushui hummed in agreement and skipped over the topic, saying, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else."

"Other things, how about we talk about how things are going on set lately, Sister Qiushui?"

What else can you do on a film set...?

Get up early, rush to film, rest after filming, then rush to film again.

Every day is the same, and the rare days... are the days when I can receive a video call.

In fact, Yu Ci and Gu Qiushui had quite a bit of contact on WeChat.

But no matter what kind of communication it is, the feelings and emotions it brings are not as intense as meeting in person.

They were less than a meter apart, and could even smell each other's scent.

-

In the afternoon, Gu Qiushui was called away by the director with a phone call.

Less than an hour after they left, Yu Ci's phone rang.

"Did Sister Qiushui forget something?"

"No."

"That?"

"The director knows you're here and wants to give you a role. He's asking if you'd be willing."

Adding more scenes?

Of course I wouldn't refuse if I could have more screen time!

So Yu Ci quickly grabbed his small bag and went to the film set.

Since the story was nearing its end, except for a few important characters, all the supporting roles had been replaced. Yu Ci didn't feel a sense of familiarity, so after greeting a few people in the logistics department, he went to the director's office.

She soon noticed that there were two people sitting next to the director.

One is Goddess Gu, and the other...

She wore a plain white cheongsam, and her black hair was styled loosely, unlike the hairstyles of the Republic of China era, but she looked very ethereal.

Could this person be the 'new character' that Xiaoqing and the goddess were complaining about together?

"Yu Ci, you've come!"

"Yes, Director Shen."

"Alright, alright." Shen Teng immediately said after seeing Yu Ci arrive, "Miss Qi, look at this one, she played the maid in the show before. You said you weren't satisfied with the previous appearance, so we'll change it."

"Jiang Rong and her maid Qingqing went to soak in a famous hot spring in Shanghai at night. Then, Jiang Rong met you, who had just returned from abroad, at the hot spring resort. How about that?"

"Alright then." Miss Qi had a very elegant appearance, but her tone wasn't very pleasant. "It's still much better than the one I saw on the street before."

"..."

Shen Teng looked a little embarrassed.

Gu Qiushui remained expressionless.

of course.

Actually, none of these are the main points.

I felt that there was only one key point.

Jiang Rong and her maid Qingqing went to soak in the hot springs together.

"Go to the hot springs."

"spa!"

So, what Shen Teng meant by adding scenes?

Is this it?

……

Are you filming a scene of people soaking in a hot spring, wearing clothes underwater?

Chapter 59 Director: I want to create hype around her bare back! (Bonus Chapter)

Yu Ci was a little lost when she suddenly put on her old clothes.

Suddenly, Yu Ci was taken to the hot springs of the place next door, where the "X-Princess Side Story" was filming. He was a little confused.

After the director finished explaining the scene and pushed her next to Gu Qiushui, then went to explain the scene to Miss Qi himself, she licked her lips.

Finally, she looked at Gu Qiushui.

"Sister Qiushui, I heard from the director—" According to the script, Jiang Rong had heard about the reputation of this hot spring among the guests, and recently she had some money, so she took her little maid Qingqing out to soak in the hot spring. So that means!

"Do you want to go into the water with me?"

Her expression seemed both apprehensive and not apprehensive. Gu Qiushui didn't understand what Yu Ci meant at first, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "We'll be going into the water together, but don't worry, Director Shen's films don't rely on these plot points."

"We filmed a hot spring scene, and that was it."

This kind of silhouette, which requires absolutely no technical skill, is probably—

"The staff has been cleared out; it should be done in about two minutes."

"..."

Two minutes?

"Shouldn't you wear clothes before going into the water?"

Gu Qiushui: ...

"What are you thinking?" Gu Qiushui couldn't help but laugh. "It's the industry standard. For serious films, you wear a bra, but without bra straps."

"Have you ever worn a strapless swimsuit? It's probably something like that." She patted Yu Ci on the shoulder like a senior. "Don't be shy, and don't be afraid."

"I'm here with you, I won't let you suffer any losses."

Knowing that Gu Qiushui had misunderstood, Yu Ci did not explain.

It turns out that... the so-called hot spring water play scene was just a shot of their backs, and they were already dressed for going into the water. It turns out that this scene only sounded exciting, but there was no splashing at all when it was filmed.

"I understand." Yu Ci suppressed the slight disappointment in his heart. "I will be bolder and not shy."

It's just a bare shoulder, I can't be shy about it.

The two chatted for a while, and when the director and Ms. Qi still hadn't returned, they turned their conversation back to the scene.

"When you go down later, you can turn your back to the camera."

"Why?" Isn't the point of filming to show your face?

Gu Qiushui's gaze swept over Yu Ci's shoulders and neck. "Because you are thin enough, your back is straight, and your neck is long, your back view will be more attractive."

"oh oh……"

is it?

There was no mirror here, so Yu Ci could only curiously measure the length of his neck with his hand.
