The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1674 - 1664: Falling Behind (5)

Sure, here is the translation to English:

Actually, the group of seniors and the group of Zhou Weiwei had originally planned arrival times set by the show crew.

This area has a strong magnetic field, which can affect the compass’s orientation. They probably didn’t expect Xia Siyu to bring an anti-magnetic watch. Usually, people just rent a compass casually, how could it have such an effect? Even with a watch, it doesn’t necessarily help you find directions.

Getting lost during the day and using Polaris to determine direction at night, most people don’t know how to do. First, in the city with so much pollution, let alone Polaris, being able to see the moon is already good enough. Second, even if they know Polaris can point the direction, generally, people who aren’t interested in astronomy won’t know which star is Polaris. Picking the wrong star and walking blindly makes getting lost even worse.

In the entertainment industry, there certainly are educated people, but they’re relatively rare. After all, many who study acting do so because they look good, yet their academic performance isn’t solid. A real university lecturer with a doctorate like Bo Yan, you won’t find more than ten in the whole entertainment circle.

Even though Han Yifan seems laid-back, he at least graduated with a master’s degree. This guy might not have Bo Yan’s level of theoretical knowledge, but his instincts are amazing; he’s the kind who usually sleeps a lot, but crams before exams and scores eighty percent. Shang Feifei is also the calm type, so she can find directions more quickly. The senior group wasn’t so fortunate but was at entertainment industry normal levels, so they managed to find the way themselves at night.

But the group of Zhou Weiwei was really unfortunate.

Zhou Weiwei was a bit better; she’s from N University too. But she knows nothing about geography, and traveling along the way, she was exhausted and sleepy, with neither physical strength nor energy, not to mention the ability to find the way. As for Zhang Wenyi... he went abroad to be a trainee right after graduating junior high. His grades weren’t very good back in school, reportedly. Dancing is fine for him, but when it comes to finding ways, he just relies on navigation.

The crew was actually in contact the whole time. By eight in the evening, when they were still circling around, the guide started directing them toward the right path.

When hearing the dropped group was okay, Xia Siyu breathed a sigh of relief. Bo Yan saw this next to her and hesitated, "Are you worried about her?"

His microphone wasn’t removed; this made not only Xia Siyu hear it, but also the show crew. They knew Xia Siyu and Zhou Weiwei haven’t been getting along quite well recently, but unexpectedly, she was still quite worried about Zhou Weiwei.

Xia Siyu didn’t refute but added a sentence: "I worry about the entire team that got lost."

Including Zhou Weiwei and Zhang Wenyi, although she doesn’t like them much right now they aren’t friends anymore. But since a mountain accident last year, she felt nothing can be compared when it comes to safety.

Even if the one lost in the desert is a vicious murderer, they still need to be rescued, then let the law take care of the punishment afterward.

Actually, they already were chatting; the microphones of the team next door were all removed. Bo Yan suggested, "Don’t you all feel like you ate too much just now, want to take a walk?"

After coming to the crew here, the four ate three packs of instant noodles at night, clearly not enough. Upon reaching the endpoint, the eating problem was non-existent anymore, so they replenished some water and food.

Bo Yan said this with everyone in mind, but Han Yifan wasn’t foolish; why would he stop the couple’s two-person world, he cursed, "I walked all day, exhausted. If you want to go, go yourself."

Of course, Shang Feifei wouldn’t make things awkward for herself, she just smiled at them.

Xia Siyu didn’t object, wrapped in her military coat, followed him up to the sand dune.

Yes, indeed, the crew was clever, this sand dune was high and blocked all the lights. If they didn’t follow Polaris along the way, it would have been hard to find the location.

After all, they still have the "reserve team" title on them and are in the middle of the show, so the two of them didn’t want to get too close as to attract gossip.

The Moon Bay at night really is beautiful. Standing on the dunes, the stars are bright above, below is the winding and endless yellow sand. In this place, people seem small yet also uniquely grand.

Especially when looking back at Moon Bay, the moon above, the bay below. The most distracting thing is actually the artificial tents and lights set up by the crew, which somewhat ruins the natural beauty.

Excluding these artificial sounds, it seems the whole world belongs to them.

During this walk, they turned off their microphones on purpose, the nearby cameraman was exhausted and still resting, not coming to interrupt them.

But actually, there wasn’t much to say, and though no cameramen followed them nor microphones were used, there were still workers around, so the two weren’t the type to whisper sweet nothings together daily.

Sweet words are like catching colds; frequent sentiments can be resistant, while rare occasions make it hard to recover.

Moreover, everyday life isn’t always sweet; there will be conflicts, and they have work-related matters to discuss. Generally, if the two quarrel, Bo Yan always yields to Xia Siyu, whether he’s right or wrong. But if it’s work-related, neither would budge.

This time was no exception; they were discussing a film about her mother that’s to be shot. It was originally planned to be a movie, but because of the ample content, it was finally decided to be made into a TV series.

Filming the TV series, Bo Yan will be the director this time, and will also star in it. Since it’s the first time both he and Xia Siyu are transitioning from movie stars, and they’re doing it together, finding investors became easier.

Xia Siyu wasn’t seeing the whole situation; there was lots she didn’t want to cut, or from her viewpoint, it was difficult to tell the complete story accurately, and while she understood movie narratives, she didn’t grasp TV series narratives or how the structure of episodes progressed, so the screenwriter made significant modifications. Also, to help Bo Yan and Xia Siyu adjust to the slower pace of TV filming, they made some adjustments to increase the shooting speed.

Fortunately, the team had experience from filming "Sunrise," serving as a solid foundation.

However, there was a disagreement between Xia Siyu and the screenwriter about the ending. Xia Siyu wanted to write it as a tragedy, following the original story. But the screenwriter disagreed, insisting the audience today prefers to watch uplifting stories — daily life is difficult enough, no one wants to suffer more in dramas.

After their dispute, it was decided to make two versions of the ending. The main version is tragic, while an alternate happy ending would be in an extra, to which Xia Siyu reluctantly agreed. They spent almost a year revising the script and finally got it finished.
