Chapter 606: Genius

The filming of Sleepless went very smoothly, but because of Fu Hanzheng’s routine phone calls every night, the filming could not go past midnight.

Therefore, the progress was slower than what Gu Weiwei had planned.

The director’s work required her to control the entire scene, so she had to do her part well and guide the other actors as well.

Every day, she was in a very tense state.

Song Yu did not trust her at first, but two days after he joined the crew, he devoted herself to the filming of Sleepless.

Yan Hong, the scriptwriter, had been watching the filming from the sidelines and he was trying his best to adjust the details of the later scenes.

Also, before the film festival in F Land, Mr. Murphy, who she had visited personally, also came to Hua Land.

When the assistant director brought him in, Gu Weiwei was in the middle of a scene where Shu Ya and Ye Zi met.

Mr. Murphy watched the entire scene and Gu Weiwei was unaware of his arrival until they had finished filming and were about to leave.

“Mr. Murphy, I apologize that I was unable to pick you up at the airport.”

Murphy looked at her and then at Qiu Ling, who had played the role of Ye with her, and said with a non-standard Chinese accent.

“Weiwei, you must be a genius.”

“Thank you for your compliment.” Gu Weiwei shook hands with him and said sincerely, “I need your guidance.”

“You are a great actress and a very good director.” Murphy looked at Qiu Ling next to him and said, “You did a great job bringing her into the role.”

A truly good actress would not only focus on her own scenes but also learn how to lead the scene, so as to bring the other party into the zone.

Also, she had to control the entire scene.

It was hard to believe that this young girl before him was not even twenty years old.

Qiu Ling nodded subconsciously. She had been a bit nervous when the scene started, but when Mu Weiwei started to say the lines, she was instantly brought into the mood, her eyes and her aura.

Song Yu, and the other actors who were preparing for the shoot, felt the same way. On the first day of filming they had thought that they would end up making a terrible movie.

But after two days of filming, no one had such thoughts anymore.

Their director was very friendly and also talented.

She was supposed to be the lead role, but she would often help demonstrate their roles, so that they could get into character faster.

Gu Weiwei talked with Murphy about the crew and what she needed his help with.

Listening to her, Murphy expressed his willingness to join their crew.

With the help of Murphy, she suggested a few changes to the ending of the original script and some adjustments to the details of their roles.

Gu Weiwei ignored Fu Hanzheng’s investigation and spent the entire night discussing with the main cast.

Although Fu Shiyi helped her to get away from his brother, Lei Ning and the bodyguards reported to Fu Hanzheng.

He called to lecture her and Gu Weiwei answered the phone obediently, promising him that she would sleep early.

Then she hung up and continued with the meeting.

On the third day, after a night scene, Gu Weiwei had dinner with the crew members and asked the assistant director to inform the others about the meeting.

She had just finished speaking when the phone rang.

Seeing that it was from Fu Hanzheng, she obediently picked it up.

“Uncle Fu, I am really going to sleep now, I am back in my room.”

Fu Hanzheng said, “I don’t see you.”

“…” Gu Weiwei was startled for three seconds and instantly said, “I will be right back.”

Didn’t see her?

It was not a phone call this time, he was there.
