I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Novel - Chapter 235
235 Expert Calligrapher!
Yun Wei inhaled deeply once more and walked toward Wen Yuyi. “I…”
Before she could finish her words, two voices rang out.
“Hold on.”
“Wait a moment.”
!!
The first sentence came from Bai Xiaojiu, and the second came from Shen Ruojing.
After the two of them finished speaking, they exchanged a mutual glance.
Bai Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows.
No matter what, Miss Yun and Miss Shen had worked together to save his grandfather back then. So, he was preparing to act and help. He was also someone from the calligraphy association and even had the title of vice association president.
It was quite convenient for him if he wanted to find a few calligraphers and ask them to rush over here.
But since Miss Shen had spoken, he didn’t say anything and decided to watch for now.
Seeing that Bai Xiaojiu stopped talking, Shen Ruojing then retracted her gaze.
At the side, Yun Lu was already impatiently urging, “Why so slow? The lighting now is perfect. If we wait longer and the time becomes late noon or evening, the light won’t be good anymore and the effect we want to shoot might be compromised! Can you guys stop dilly-dallying?”
Yun Wei immediately looked at Shen Ruojing, as though she understood something. Her eyes brightened. “Cousin, you know calligraphy?”
Shen Ruojing slowly replied, “A little.”
Compared to cursive, she did indeed know about writing in the regular script. However, she wasn’t too skilled at it and was probably a little weaker compared to a true expert-level calligrapher.
However, her standard should be high enough for the film.
Just when Shen Ruojing was thinking of this, she heard a mocking laughter.
Qian Nanyin’s lips twitched. “You know a little? I also know a little, but can I become a substitute writer? You better not wreak havoc here!”
Wen Yuyi also sighed. “Miss Shen, they are going to do a long take and focus on the hands. You cannot be reckless…”
After Yun Lu heard this, she also sneered, “You even dare to speak when you only know a little? I really wonder if everyone who grows up in villages always likes to overestimate themselves so much?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruojing’s gaze turned cold.
However, Yun Wei spoke out, “All of you should shut up. Since Wen Yuyi doesn’t wish to shoot the scene, just let my cousin try it!”
At most, even if her cousin couldn’t write well enough to reach the director’s standard, Yun Wei would just apologize to Wen Yuyi.
Wen Yuyi sighed. “Let us go and take a look together then. If Miss Shen cannot write well enough, I can still take over in time. We shouldn’t delay the filming progress.”
Qian Nanyin immediately said, “Yuyi, you are too soft-hearted! However, you are correct. We should go take a look and let them understand that mastery of calligraphy isn’t something casual that everyone can attain. At that time, this matter will not be resolved with something as simple as an apology!”
He glared at Yun Wei. Why was it so difficult to make this woman lower her head?!
Hence, the group of them went to the filming location.
This place was an empty room. There was only a study desk and a metal basin used for burning papers inside.
After the letter was written, it would be burned so the family members of the female lead that died would be able to read them.
Yun Lu had completed all her scenes. This scene of writing the letter was the only one left.
At this moment, Director Liu was waiting for them. After seeing that they were here, he said, “Move quickly. Once the natural light is gone, we will have to use external lightning and it can be troublesome.”
Right now was the time when natural light was the best.
There was a crew at the side who wanted Wen Yuyi to wear a fake sleeve over her arm, so the writing scene would look authentic.
Wen Yuyi laughed guiltily, “Sorry, Little Wei said that Miss Shen should be the one to write it instead.”
After she said this, Director Liu was stunned.
Everyone turned and looked at Shen Ruojing in unison.
Director Liu asked in astonishment, “You are the one writing? Do you know the regular script?”
“A little,” Shen Ruojing replied honestly.
Director Liu. “…”
He couldn’t help but lose his temper. “Isn’t this a waste of time? Stop making trouble and let Miss Wen do it!”
He had seen Wen Yuyi’s regular script before. Although it wasn’t really top-class, her standard of writing was enough to be of use to this movie.
Could Shen Ruojing’s written words suffice? At that era, the majority of the women wrote in tiny regular script.
Hence, Director Liu was so anxious that he was fuming. “Ancestors, can you guys stop making trouble?”
Was it easy for him to shoot a drama? How many cases of trouble had there been?
Jing Zhen’s case was one thing, but he could tolerate it as his acting skills were good.
Yun Lu’s acting skills were garbage, and he had tolerated her up until now where they only had to shoot the final scene before wrapping up. Yet, there was more trouble?
Were they pranking him?!
Yun Lu also spoke in agreement, “That’s right! Elder sis, filming isn’t playing house. You should just apologize to Sis Yuyi so it’s a win-win situation. We can settle this matter as well! Why do you have to make Director Liu feel so much pressure?”
Apologize?
Director Liu’s sharp senses sensed that something must have happened between this group of people.
But he basically didn’t want to know what had happened!
He only wanted to properly finish filming!
A bunch of affluent second generations treated this place like a warzone and kept making trouble endlessly!
Now, even his face had turned dark.
Yun Wei temporarily didn’t wish to antagonize such a famous director.
Yun Lu had the temper of a child and kept acting like a diva, not bothering to consider any possibility of future cooperation. However, Yun Wei had to consider many things. If not, she wouldn’t have helped to suppress Yun Lu previously.
At this moment, Director Liu was very unhappy, so Yun Wei bit her lips and suddenly spoke, “Director Liu, let my cousin give it a try. I’ll bear the responsibility if something happens!”
“Can you even bear the responsibility?” Yun Lu, who was at the side, placed her hands at the hips and responded before Director Liu could speak, “You are wasting all our time, making us accompany you. Don’t you feel that you are too over-the-top?!”
Yun Wei’s expression changed again.
Wen Yuyi said, “Little Wei, don’t make trouble anymore. I don’t need you to apologize. Let me just do it. Otherwise, if there’s a dispute and the board of directors learn of this, I’m afraid they might kick you out of the board. You just joined this year…”
After saying that, she hypocritically took a step forward and stretched her hand out, wanting to wear the fake sleeve. However, Nan Qianyin stopped her as he sneered, “Yun Wei, instead of waiting obediently at home for our marriage, why are you joining the board of directors? Do you really think you are a strong career woman?! If you take charge, the entire company will be finished. You should just go home and be a good wife. You should also learn how to take care of kids!”
Wen Yuyi showed a helpless expression. “Don’t make trouble, let’s settle the important things first.”
Yun Wei looked at them as her face turned black. She then looked at Director Liu and said, “I’m the producer of this drama. I’ve said I’ll bear the responsibility if anything happens. Now, get ready to shoot the scene!”
Seeing how adamant she was, Director Liu could only helplessly wave his hands. “Alright, everyone get into position!”
Shen Ruojing walked into the scene.
After wearing the fake sleeve, she looked at the paper and brush on the table. After that, she lifted her head and calmly nodded at the director.
The director shouted, “Action!”
The camera moved closer and focused on the hand.
Wen Yuyi and the others gathered closer, wanting to see the effect of the long take.
At this moment, Director Liu had a heavy expression on his face as he stared at the screen.
Shen Ruojing’s fair and dainty hand looked extremely good on camera. Her skin was slender and smooth. Her left hand lifted the sleeves on her right hand. After that, the right hand picked the writing brush and dipped it into ink before pressing it down at the slab to drain it slightly.
No matter what, her posture was very correct.
Her demeanor was beautiful as well.
Just when Director Liu was trying to find happiness in this dire situation, he saw some words written on the paper: To my family members.
When the four words were written, Director Liu was so shocked that his eyes were wide open.
