Chapter 318: A Warning?
Strictly speaking, the Eyes of the Eagle was actually a spy film that took place in contemporary times.
It told a story of how Hua Land fell into the enemy’s hands and the fight between two schools during this particular period.
Gu Weiwei was supposed to play two roles – a ferocious woman called Huo Jing in the military bureau and a just and kind-hearted Huo Xiaoshi.
The first scene after the opening ceremony was not about her, but Xiang Linyuan, the role played by the lead actor Song Yu.
Xiang Linyuan was a warlord of the local area and the man whom both of the schools would like to have on their side.
However, he had already been under the control of the military bureau.
Song Yu might not be a very good-looking actor, yet he was quite talented, so he passed the first take perfectly.
The second scene was about Shen Qiu and Chu Chen.
However, Shen Qiu came to the director and presented a proposal.
“Director Mo, Chu Chen and I have worked together many times before, so we don’t need any extra time to get to know each other. How about filming me and Huo Jing first because we need to do the scene here anyway, right?”
Mo Jiao looked about and saw that Gu Weiwei was not on set.
All of a sudden, he felt a bit displeased.
The reason why she was not arranged to do the filming this morning was because he hoped that she could watch and learn from the seniors performing first, so that she could find her position as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, however, she did not show up.
“Assistant, where is Mu Weiwei?”
The director’s assistant looked about. “I saw her in the makeup room, should I get her here?”
Mo Jiao said, as his face fell, “Bringher here now.”
He had watched the Long Wind and noticed that the young girl was indeed talented. He also thought that she did well in the audition and Director Yi had also highly recommended her.
That was why he chose her to be the lead actress.
However, he was a bit worried that she was unable to play both Huo Xiaoshi and Huo Jing.
That was why he chose to film other scenes on the first day, so that she could watch and learn and find her own position.
Yet she even refused to show up.
Shen Qiu smiled. “She is too young to know how to behave well, please don’t mind it, Director Mo.”
Chu Chen came and added her piece.
“Young girls nowadays always become very arrogant, after they gain some popularity in a film.”
If it had not been for her and Shiyi, he would have got the role of Gu Changfeng and reached the top of the industry.
Instead of saying anything more, Shen Qiu got the script and waited next to them.
A long time later, the assistant brought her over.
Gu Weiwei could notice that the atmosphere seemed a bit weird, so she said to Mo Jiao, with a relatively lowered head, “Director, Lee says that I am supposed to be here.”
Mo Jiao was very displeased about her absence, so he sat down and said, “Try the scene when Huo Jing is hunting Fang Yan in the 37th scene.”
Originally, he had planned to shoot the scene later, when she found her own position because that was the scene when Huo Jing first showed up and if the scene was well made, Huo Xiaoshi and Huo Jing could be easily distinguished, otherwise the opposite personalities could not be told apart easily.
Also, since she was too young, he had been worried that she would not be able to play two roles.
Shen Qiu stood up and said with a gentle tone, “Read the script first, we will wait for you.”
Of course she knew that it was an important scene, so the reason why she suggested making this scene was because she wanted to see how much further this girl could go.
Gu Weiwei smiled and said, “No need, let’s start now.”
She knew that she would not have a relaxing time when being with Shen Qiu and Chu Chen but unexpectedly, she received the warning on the very first day.
