"You're here?" Director Daren said as soon as he bumped into them. "It's good that you're here. We can all start filming your scenes then."

Ran Xueyi nodded, "There were some things that I had to take care of so I was late. Sorri, Director Daren."

Director Daren shook his hand, gesturing not to apologize anymore, saying, "There's no need. For as long as you are here. Anyway, we got to shoot the scenes of the supporting characters quicker yesterday."

Ran Xueyi's lips curled. "You look like you had fun yesterday."

Director Daren didn't hide it from her and said, "The one who had fun is the two of you. But you're still right. The shooting yesterday was unexpected. I didn't think that the other actors in the film suddenly got excited and started to get one-takes one after another."

He smilingly added. "I should thank you both for your hard work."

On the first few days that Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han filmed their scenes in front of everyone else, a lot of actors and actresses were inspired by them. The atmosphere between them when they're out of the camera's range was different, showing that they had a fine line between their real and on the screen lives.

Not only that, when they thought that someone who had never been in a project and films before could actually act so amazingly like this, they couldn't allow themselves to be lazy and started to work harder.

Due to this, a domino effect was established in the set.

Thanks to this, Director Daren didn't have a hard time directing the actors and actresses in the set to do their scenes well.

"We don't dare accept your thanks. Your direction helped us a lot to make our scenes better." Ran Xueyi didn't want to take credit for the behavior of the artists in the same film.

"By the way," Director Daren said, "There will be tons of scenes that need to be filmed in the coming few weeks. The two of you should free up your itineraries."

"Especially, you, Mr. Song." He turned to look at Song Yu Han who had been listening to them talking. He asked, "You are the chairman of a huge company. Won't there be any set-backs if you stay here for a few weeks? If there are some urgent matters, I can give you two days at most to take care of them all, then after that, we can go straight to filming all of your scenes without stopping."

Song Yu han raised his head to focus his attention on the young director and firmly replied, "There will be no set-backs."

He was the chairman of the company. If he actually does all the work there, why was there still a need for him to pay all the employees?

Thinking about it again, Song Yu Han had never spent a day working. At least, he would work a few hours when he's at home. But during the times he was staying beside Ran Xueyi, he still had to sneak to his study to finish some documents.

But it'll be different now. He could actually get away from work and not think about it. He would do something completely different from sitting inside his office and signing and reviewing all documents on his desk.

Somehow, he didn't hate this feeling.

The film script was carefully and thoughtfully designed. Every character, every scene, every action, and atmosphere had been thought about. If the weather in real-time became too hot, Director Daren would put off some scenes that should be filmed under dark clouds or rain. He just didn't want to use effects or artificial props. He wanted to use nature as part of his props.

This was precisely why Assistant Director Qing Luo was pleased working with Daren Wang. Despite their age-gap and the fact that the former was more experienced and has been in the industry for more than two decades, Daren Wang displayed a unique direction and ideas. Once he set his mind into doing something, he would follow through it.

And as stubborn and determined he was, it was surprising that whenever a scene was done under Daren Wang's direction, the scene was flawless and there was no obvious mistake that could be seen.

"Okay, everyone stand by. We will now shoot; Scene 9 Take 1!" Director Daren called out through the megaphone.

Several cameras were already set to capture different angles. People who worked behind the scenes were very cautious as to not make a sound since it would ruin the atmosphere that was previously taking place.

No one made a sound as Ran Xueyi entered the camera's lens.

The scene where Crystal, Ran Xueyi's role, would be walking on the streets as everyone would glance at her once before whispering amongst themselves. Her eyes that had been blind since she was a young child made people pity her, but because of her pretty face, people could not help but feel a tiny bit jealous of her.

Crystal was already used to how people see her. She was no longer new to it as in every city that she moved into, people would continue to gossip about her as if it was the most natural thing in the world. The pitiful gazes were not genuine, it was just a cover for their real thoughts of mocking her own disability.historical

Crystal finished buying the ingredients she needed to make stir-fry noodles with vegetables and meat. She was thinking of going home but she remembered that she was no longer alone in the house. A stranger whom she, by fate, encountered last night where she could have died, was now living under the same roof as her.

After thinking of him, Crystal returned to the vendor and bought another kilogram of meat. That should be enough for a grown man to eat, right?

After buying everything she needed, she made her way back to the apartment she had rented upon moving to the city. The landlord was about to leave and saw her, and he kept the door open for her.

"You bought a lot of things today. Do you want me to help you move them to your apartment?" The landlord politely asked her.

Crystal shook her head and smiled as she refused him, "Thank you, Mr. Liang. But I can still carry this much."

The landlord also had somewhere to go so he didn't persist in giving her a hand. When the blind woman finally entered, he closed the entrance and left.

But the moment the landlord turned his back, a tall man in a black attire walked towards the blind woman.

"Let me carry it for you," said the tall man.

Crystal had been living as a blind girl but all her other senses were heightened. So, she easily recognized the voice and tone of the man. It was the stranger who saved her and was now living in her house.

She wanted to refuse him like the landlord earlier, but a rough and warm hand suddenly touched hers. Before she could react, the bags of ingredients in her hands were taken from her.

Crystal felt weird being touched by other people, but she couldn't dwell much into what she was feeling as the stranger called her out of her daze to hurry up and follow him back. He acted as if he was the owner of the house.

Rubbing her fingers together, she thought strangely at the empty feeling of her hands. Surprisingly, the extreme disgust that she would usually feel whenever someone touched her didn't appear.

It was really strange...

"Cut! This scene is okay. We will move to the next scene so get ready!" Director Daren looked at the monitor and replayed the scene that was just taken just now.

As expected of the two main leads, there were no retakes nor flaws that could be seen at a glance.

Tie Lin released a sigh of relief and walked over to the director's side. He was acting as the landlord and the next scene didn't need him to be there so there was a lot of spare time for him to watch the two big shots act and learn from them.

As a supporting character, his scenes weren't many. But it was already expected for an actor who had been in the industry for two years. His agency didn't think that the film would blow up once it was released. They let him do as he pleased as they didn't think much of a film directed by a young director.

Moreover, he auditioned for the role because it was the only opportunity handed to him. But who would have thought that not only were the actors really amazing in acting their roles, Ran Xueyi, a renowned and veteran actress was the main lead.

In addition, the film received a huge investment. Now, everyone in the crew was able to bask in the glory and wealth provided by the investor. It did not necessarily lose out to the big and popular films that are being filmed nowadays!

Besides, the main leading actor turned out to be the investor of the film, YH Group's chairman! How exciting is that?!
