Ch77 - Thirsty

“Zhao Zhao, you must remember that although the panda isn’t your lover, you look at it more affectionately than your lover.” Director Yang stuffed the panda doll into Li Zhao’s arms. “Come, cultivate your feelings with the national treasure first.”

The staff at the scene couldn’t help laughing.

Li Zhao held the panda doll and gently touched its head. “Baby, Dad loves you.”

“Hahaha.” 

Yan Ting entered the crew in the midst of the big laughter. He saw Li Zhao holding the doll and stopped.

“Mr Ting, there are still a few minutes until shooting starts. You can sit here and rest for a while.” Da Ke took Yan Ting to sit down in Li Zhao’s chair. Yan Ting flipped through Li Zhao’s script and saw notes made with pens of various colours.

The atmosphere of the movie was very good. It could be seen that Li Zhao and those people got along very well.

Yan Ting quietly turned the script and saw a line. 

[Do you love it?]

[I love it.]

[Because it’s furry?]

[No, because it’s alive. I love life and fear life.] 

Yan Ting put down the script, got up and watched Li Zhao filming out of the range of the cameras.

The makeup artists drew wounds on Li Zhao’s body. Once the cameras turned on, the atmosphere of Li Zhao’s body changed instantly. His eyes were looking at the panda on the cliff. He was so anxious that he wanted to swap spots with his own body. He also had to say a few words to the air beside him from time to time. It was obviously a ridiculous scene but Li Zhao’s interpretation made everyone anxious and out of breath.

Halfway through the shoot, the muddy water on Li Zhao’s body dried and the makeup artist had to drench him again.

After they finished filming the entire scene, Li Zhao lay on the ground and joked with the surrounding staff, “My child, where is my child?” 

“Your child was taken away by the props crew.” Director Yang stepped forward and patted him with the script. Get up and change clothes. If you don’t want to change then it doesn’t matter. We can shoot for a few more hours.”

Li Zhao quickly got up from the ground, took a towel to dry the mud on his face and turned to see that Yan Ting had already arrived. He smiled at Yan Ting and stated, “Wait for a while. I will change my clothes and remove my makeup.”

Yan Ting nodded. “I’m in no hurry.”

Da Guang saw a strange man who wasn’t part of the crew come to find Li Zhao. The gestures between the two people were quite intimate and he couldn’t help pulling out his phone. Just as he was about to press the button to take a photo, the man suddenly glanced sideways at him. 

This look…

Da Guang’s hands moved and he only captured a blurry shadow. He guiltily put away his phone and didn’t dare look into the man’s eyes.

A few minutes later, the driver walked up to Yan Ting and whispered, “Sir, he is a supporting actor in the crew called Da Guang.”

“Write it down.” 

Li Zhao returned after changing clothes and undressing. Yan Ting was sitting in a chair and reading his script.

“I’ve packed things up.” Li Zhao’s footsteps were light. “Let’s go home.”

Li Zhao saw that Yan Ting was wearing a shirt and a tie and handed his hand-held fan to Yan Ting. “Blow it to be cooler.”

The small fan made a whining sound. The movement was small and the wind wasn’t big.
