「Friday, November 1st.」
Yun Zijin was invited to attend the production’s opening ceremony with Gao Mi’s crew.
"Miss Yun, please stand in the very center."
Gao Mi was extremely grateful for Yun Zijin’s initial investment. It was also because of her that Lu Yunque, a titan of industry who never dabbled in the entertainment world, had followed suit and invested twenty million.
Regardless, when Gao Mi was in dire straits, it was Yun Zijin who had thrown him a lifeline.
Even though Lu Yunque had added to the investment later, it still couldn’t compare to Yun Zijin’s thirty million.
Yun Zijin didn’t stand on ceremony and went directly to the center of the line, flanked by the male and female leads.
However, after a moment of thought, Yun Zijin realized she couldn’t recall who these two leads were.
’Does this mean the leads Director Gao found aren’t trending stars?’
Only she would tolerate this. If it were any other investor, and Gao Mi had dared to do this, they would have pulled their funding in a heartbeat.
Still, thirty million wasn’t a huge sum to Yun Zijin. Even if the show flopped, it wouldn’t be a major loss for her.
It was only thirty million, a loss she could afford.
Of course, filming had only just begun. Anything could still happen.
Everyone on set knew Yun Zijin was the first investor Gao Mi had secured. Although she completely overshadowed the two leads by standing with them, neither of them said a word.
In the face of capital, small-time celebrities like them had no power to resist. It was better to just keep their heads down and be pretty faces.
"Alright, time to offer the incense!"
After having photos taken, Gao Mi had someone bring over a large bundle of incense. It was lit, and everyone was given three sticks, Yun Zijin included.
Gao Mi offered his incense first, then called Yun Zijin over. After her came the producer and some of the C-list actors.
Yun Zijin placed her incense next to Gao Mi’s three sticks and then stepped aside.
"We’re shooting the first take in a bit, and there can be absolutely no NGs! You two better get into character right now. Whoever messes up doesn’t get to eat today!"
This wasn’t Gao Mi’s first time directing, but it was Yun Zijin’s first time observing a shoot on set. Seeing him warn the two actors beforehand, she suddenly found his image rather impressive.
’He’s a director, all right,’ she thought. ’When he scolds people, he’s absolutely merciless.’
The two young actors nodded hurriedly, promising they absolutely wouldn’t mess up the take.
The two had been rehearsing for this scene privately for a long time.
And with Gao Mi’s stern warning, they dared not slack off.
The two quickly found their positions, waiting for the floor manager’s cue to start filming.
"Scene 1, Take 1, action!"
Sitting off to the side, Yun Zijin watched as the actors and crew coordinated with one another, perfectly completing the first shot. A smile crept onto her face.
"Very good! Keep it up. Let’s get a safety take!"
Seeing that everyone was busy with their respective duties, Yun Zijin felt it was awkward to just sit there doing nothing. She took out her phone and started searching for nearby places to eat and drink.
Since this was her first time visiting to check on their filming progress, Yun Zijin felt that, as the investor, she could treat the crew to some food.
Yun Zijin used her phone to contact a restaurant and arrange the order.
By noon, everyone in the crew finally took a break from filming, and just then, the milk tea and lunch Yun Zijin had ordered arrived.
