Chapter 208 "The Witch" Begins Filming
On September 3, the Beijing Film Academy started its new semester.
With nothing else to do, Fu Yibai attended his first class as an honorary professor.
After spending a week observing the female students at the Beijing Film Academy, news came from Hong Kong on September 10th that the pre-production of "The Witch" was complete.
On September 15, Fu Yibai, along with Yang Mi and the team who had finished training, boarded a plane to Hong Kong.
The plane flew through the clouds, and outside the window was a vast expanse of blue sea.
Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair, and Yang Mi was already asleep next to him, her head resting on his shoulder, her breathing even.
She's been practicing late into the night every day to prepare for the action scenes in "The Witch," and she fell asleep shortly after boarding the plane.
In the front row, Guo Zhenni and the makeup artist were chatting quietly, with occasional soft laughter coming from between them.
As the plane landed, Yang Mi stirred and opened her eyes.
"arrive?"
"Um."
Yang Mi sat up straight, rubbed her eyes, and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek.
"I'm so sleepy. I'm going to bed early tonight."
Fu Yibai didn't say anything, but raised his hand and pinched her cheek.
When I came out through the VIP passage, Huo Wenxi was already waiting at the exit.
"Director Fu, Ms. Yang."
She came to greet me with a perfectly timed smile.
"The car is ready."
"Mr. Huo, you're too kind."
As the group exited the terminal, several black minivans were parked on the side of the road.
Huo Wenxi was very thoughtful; the room had already been arranged.
"Director Fu, I'll be waiting for you in the lobby at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll take you to see the filming location."
Huo Wenxi said as he handed over the room key.
"it is good."
In the evening, Fu Yibai took Yang Mi and Guo Zhenni out for dinner and then returned to the hotel.
As soon as I got back to my room, I heard a familiar voice inside.
"Mr. Fu!"
"Bai Bin? What are you doing here?"
"Mr. Yang said you came to Hong Kong and asked me to come and take care of you."
Fu Yibai hung up his clothes and went over to put his arm around the woman's waist.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yang."
He put his arm around Bai Bing and led her into the room.
The next day, Fu Yibai opened his eyes and found Bai Bing still asleep in his arms.
Her face was buried in his chest, her long black hair spread out on the pillow, and her breathing was even.
An arm encircled his waist, and the blanket slipped down to his shoulder blades, revealing a large expanse of his fair back.
Bai Bing stirred in his arms. She raised her head, her eyes not yet fully open, but the corners of her mouth were already curved into a smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Fu."
"morning."
She propped herself up, and the blanket slipped off her shoulders, revealing the view below her collarbone.
She didn't cover herself, but looked down at him, her eyes filled with the languor of someone who had just woken up and a kind of satisfied softness.
"I'll go and run your bath."
"No rush, let's have breakfast first."
.........
At eight o'clock, he came out of the room.
Yang Mi and Guo Zhenni came out of the room after receiving the news.
Yang Mi wore a white short-sleeved T-shirt, denim shorts, and her hair was tied in a high ponytail, revealing a clean and neat face.
When she saw Fu Yibai, her eyes crinkled into a smile, and she quickly walked over.
"morning."
"morning."
She leaned closer, her nostrils twitched, then she took a step back, a smile on her lips, without saying anything.
Guo Zhenni stood two steps away, carrying a briefcase, wearing a light blue shirt and beige trousers, her hair up, revealing a section of her fair neck.
She nodded to Fu Yibai.
"Mr. Fu, Mr. Huo is already downstairs."
"Let's go."
The three people walked toward the elevator.
Yang Mi walked to Fu Yibai's right, with Guo Zhenni following behind, keeping an arm's length distance.
As the elevator doors closed, Yang Mi glanced at Fu Yibai.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"good."
I didn't sleep well.
The hotel bed smelled so good.
Fu Yibai didn't say anything, but raised his hand and gently patted the back of her head.
Yang Mi grinned and didn't say anything more.
The elevator reached the first floor, the doors opened, and Huo Wenxi was already waiting in the lobby.
Today she wore a dark blue suit dress, her hair was styled in an updo, her makeup was exquisite, and she wore a pair of black high heels.
"Good morning, Director Fu. Good morning, Ms. Yang."
Good morning, Mr. Huo.
"Breakfast has been prepared, this way please."
The four people walked towards the restaurant.
Huo Wenxi walked beside Fu Yibai.
"Mr. Yang has a meeting this morning, so please let me have breakfast with you first."
He arrived around ten o'clock.
"it is good."
Halfway through breakfast, Huo Wenxi's phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, answered, and whispered a few words in Cantonese.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Fu Yibai.
"Mr. Yang's meeting ended early. He'll be there in twenty minutes."
At 10:00 AM sharp, Yang Shoucheng stepped out of the elevator.
He was wearing a light gray suit today, his hair was neatly combed, and he had that shrewd smile typical of businessmen on his face.
"Director Fu, did you sleep well last night?"
He walked over, extended his hand, and shook it firmly.
"Very good, Mr. Yang has made thoughtful arrangements."
Yang Shoucheng chuckled and sat down opposite him.
Huo Wenxi poured him a cup of tea, which he picked up, took a sip, and then put down.
"We're going to check out the location today. If Director Fu has no objections, we can hold the opening ceremony tomorrow."
"Can."
After breakfast, Fu Yibai took his team to see the venue.
The group strolled around until 5 p.m.
10:00 AM on July 17st.
The offering table has been set up for the opening ceremony of "The Witch".
Roast suckling pig, fruit, snacks, tea...
Nothing is missing.
The incense in the incense burner has been lit, and wisps of smoke are rising upwards.
Yang Shoucheng and Fu Yibai stood in the center, with Yang Mi standing next to Fu Yibai and Xie Tingfeng standing next to Yang Shoucheng. The main creative team members were lined up in order.
After the group photo was taken, the reporter asked questions.
Reporters in Hong Kong are much more daring to ask questions than those in mainland China.
These reporters were far more interested in Yi Bai than in "The Witch".
Most of the problems revolve around his emotional issues.
After the reporters left, the filming officially began.
