extra 3.1

As a reward for the live broadcast that day, the film and television city gave Xu Jingning a wish card, saying that they would do their best to fulfill his wish.

Xu Jingning was very decisive and wrote on it on the spot that he hoped his next drama could be filmed in the film and television city.

Their criminal investigation ensemble drama involves too many and too diverse scenes, so the director actually looked for many places, including Pingjiang Film and Television City. However, because it involves various explosion scenes, and if filming starts, it will be the first drama in the film and television city, the boss has been reluctant to agree.

Because of Xu Jingning, the two sides came into contact again. When the person in charge saw the familiar director Liu, his smile froze.

But the words had already been spoken and I had agreed to it in front of the entire network, so I couldn't refuse and had to grit my teeth and sign the contract.

Because of this, Director Liu was so moved that he was very attentive to Xu Jingning. Even before it was Yan Xun's turn to take action, he paid for a nanny car for Xu Jingning out of his own pocket.

Director Liu said generously that Xu Jingning could contact him if she needed anything during the recording.

Xu Jingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Director, please wake up. He is just a supporting role with few lines!

Although he is a minor supporting role, forensic doctor Cheng Shang is indeed one of the characters that runs throughout the entire drama.

So in the early stages, when Xu Jingning was not needed much, his daily routine was to come to the set to watch other people acting. Occasionally, he would be noticed by the director and screenwriter and pulled up to act as a background board.

The actors in the main troupe are basically the newcomers signed by Yan Xun Studio. They have just entered the circle and don’t know so many rules, both explicit and implicit. They act under the scorching sun every day, while watching Xu Jingning sitting outside the venue, enjoying the breeze and eating fruit, looking very leisurely and contented.

I am very envious.

I didn't expect that even though I got a role with more lines, I would still envy the supporting actors who didn't have a ranking.

However, Xu Jingning is a senior who understands the ways of the world very well. As soon as the scene is over, he would ask his assistant to serve desserts and drinks to the actors according to the recorded tastes. He also carefully selected sugar-free and low-fat ones to avoid the director's nagging.

Therefore, what everyone looks forward to most every day is to rush to Xu Jingning after the filming. Not only can they get free food and drinks, but they can also learn a lot from this beautiful and talkative senior.

It can also be regarded as a landscape of the crew.

The director was relieved about this matter and the actors were also quite happy. The only one who was not in a good mood was Yan Xun.

It was early summer and the weather was still warm, but it was obviously much hotter than before. As they had to continue filming, the actors took their own iced drinks and looked for places to take a rest in the cool air. Someone also asked Xu Jingning if she wanted to join them, as there was a shady place over there where they could see the set and stay for the whole afternoon.

Xu Jingning glanced at Yan Xun who was smiling but obviously in a bad mood not far away, and waved his hand with a smile: "No, I have something to do in the afternoon. You guys act well, I won't go."

Each of the actors made a sound that expressed some regret.

After all, everyone likes lemon.

When most of the people had left, Xu Jingning took the initiative to pick up a glass of iced drink and walked to Yan Xun's side.

The assistants of the two men looked at each other, and tactfully walked away, helping to keep an eye on them to prevent others from getting close.

"You were in a good mood today, Teacher Yan. Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Asking even though you know the answer.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xu Jingning grabbed the ice drink and put it on his face: "You're sweating. Here, take a break."

Yan Xun gave a fake smile, took the glass of ice drink from his hand, pressed the opening open with his index finger, and inserted the straw neatly.

But he didn't rush to drink it, instead he felt a strong sourness coming out of him: "No, I'm fine, how can you tell that I'm unhappy?"

Xu Jingning suppressed a laugh: "Oh, really? I guess I saw it wrong."

After saying that, he turned and was about to leave.

Yan Xun was always helpless with him. He sighed softly and pulled the person who had retreated a step back: "Okay, okay, I'm not happy. I'm jealous. I'm jealous that they all like to be around you. Is that okay?"

Xu Jingning was delighted when he heard it.

He only vaguely guessed that this might be the case, but he didn't expect Yan Xun to really be jealous over such trivial matters.

This is so interesting.

Perhaps because she was pleased by Yan Xun's behavior, Xu Jingning burst into laughter, then stepped forward and hugged him.

He put his hands on Yan Xun's neck, his eyes were clear and bright: "Then I will try my best to coax you, the person is yours, don't be unhappy."

Yan Xun lowered his head, rubbed gently, and left a kiss.

He tasted a hint of sweetness from the familiar taste: "What did you drink just now?"

"Watermelon juice." Xu Jingning stepped forward and took another sip. "Summer is here after all."

Because summer is here.

But such leisurely days did not last too long. After about a month and a half, when the first few units were finished, the forensic doctor Cheng Shang, played by Xu Jingning, finally had his first relatively concentrated role.

The murderer in the new unit case was a student whom Cheng Shang had taught for two years. They committed the crime together and targeted him, so Cheng Shang played a significant role in the investigation. This is also the plot that best reflects his personal charm besides the ending in the play.

Probably because he had tasted the sweetness from Xu Jingning, in order to choose the most suitable murderer, Chang Le rejected the original candidates and turned to Chu Xinrou, who had a similar temperament to Xu Jingning.

"I didn't expect you to take this role."

When they met on the set, Xu Jingning took the initiative to greet them: "Will this have some impact on your reputation?"

His words had hidden meaning. It was just a role and would not really affect Chu Xinrou's future acting career. However, she was currently in a critical period of transformation, and it would be disadvantageous for her to rashly take on a villain role.

After all, before this, Chu Xinrou's popularity among the public was surprisingly good.

She naturally understood the concern implied in these words and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I haven't completely transformed yet. I must seize the time to try some more challenging roles. And the screenwriter often asked me to play this role in a way that everyone likes."

As she spoke, Chu Xinrou smoothed the hair that had fallen from her ears: "He probably wants me to contrast with you."

Both are forensic scientists, but one has a cold-hearted buff that keeps strangers away, while the other is gentle and cute, making people like her to the point of being surprised by her profession. The huge contrast between the two characters can be seen even more clearly in the ending.

Chu Xinrou stretched out her hand to him in a rare playful tone: "Please give me more guidance in the future, Mr. Cheng."

Since the change of state, the entire crew seemed to have become a little different because of the changes in the two people. The most obvious thing was that the person who used to carry a small stool and hold a small fan every day changed his position. He was either in the play or practicing repeatedly in the break, and the people who watched gradually became other people.

Chu Xinrou was no less impressive. She spent all day acting with Xu Jingning, analyzing the characters' psychology, and trying to figure out the plot.

Chang Le also became the person they visited the most. Normally, this great screenwriter would always find fault with the actors, but in this unit, Xu Jingning and Chu Xinrou would knock on his door whenever they had nothing to do, which made him almost annoyed.

"Can't you think for yourself? I need some free time too!"

Chang Le was going crazy.

"But compared to asking you to go to the set to find out the mistakes, we have figured it out now, so it will save you the trouble, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Chang, we really like the characters you wrote and are afraid that they may be different from what you imagined, so we come here to ask for your advice."

Xu Jingning and Chu Xinrou were on both sides, saying a lot of nice things to Chang Le. Chang Le couldn't win against them, so he just let them hold him with a bitter face and continued to work on the script.

Yan Xun’s opinion on this is that Chang Le is still too soft-hearted.

If it were another screenwriter, as long as he insisted on ignoring it, he wouldn't be so stupid as to keep pestering him.

But the main reason is that everyone knows that Chang Le is a very responsible person. He is responsible for the characters he writes, for the actors, and for the plot of the entire drama.

Although he cursed and changed the details every day, he actually enjoyed it.

Due to the extraordinary efforts of these three people, the filming of this unit was completed very quickly, so quickly that it was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations. Basically, all the content was completed in just one week.

The last scene is that the murderer was caught by the police with key evidence, and the criminal investigation team rushed to the next crime scene according to the clues she left. But after they left, Cheng Shang, who still stayed in the police station, discovered another meaning in the clues. After notifying the protagonist, he immediately went to the marked unfinished building and confronted the murderer.

After explaining the reason for the crime to him, the murderer jumped down in front of Cheng Shang.

Cheng Shang rushed forward to save the man without hesitation, but he was a step too slow and failed to catch him.

The case ends here.

The murderer was an apprentice trained by Cheng Shang himself, and it was the inspection report written by him that confirmed her crime.

This scene is very impactful in the script. Not only does it require the actors to express their emotions quickly, but all the details must also be presented accurately, which places high demands on both actors.

For Chu Xinrou, it was a rapid transformation of emotions. She was very good at this kind of outburst scene, but Xu Jingning needed to express his inner emotions under a calm appearance, which was more difficult to perform.

Chu Xinrou smiled and said, "You are under a lot of pressure, Teacher Cheng. The micro-expressions and the details of the arc are too subtle. I can't handle this role."

In order to maintain the feeling of the character, Xu Jingning hasn't laughed for a long time, and even hasn't said anything other than his lines for a long time.

In response to Chu Xinrou's teasing, he just turned his head slightly to glance at her, then lowered his head to look at the report in his hand.

Both of them were in great shape, and the filming of the last scene went extremely smoothly. Several clips were shot in one take, and everyone could see their superb acting skills without the director or screenwriter saying anything. Their expressions, lines, and movements were all perfect and impeccable.

Finally, after Chu Xinrou finished speaking a bunch of lines like crazy, she retreated to the edge of the roof crying and laughing.

The director picked up the intercom: "Wire act ready, cooperate with the actors in time."

Then, Chu Xinrou raised her head, restrained her crazy expression just now, and instead showed the calm smile that she usually showed.

She said, "Teacher Cheng, you probably don't know that I have been secretly in love with you for many years."

As the last word came out of her mouth, she fell backwards without hesitation.

Cheng Shang noticed something was wrong when she calmed down, and he rushed over without hesitation, trying to catch the girl.

But it was too late after all.

The words still dissipated in the air.

Director Liu suppressed his excitement and picked up another walkie-talkie: "Pay attention to the camera position. Zoom in now and capture the expression on Cheng Shang's face..."

Before he could finish his words, the people at the camera noticed something was wrong: "Wait, what is Cheng Shang going to do?!"

"Teacher Cheng!"

"Xu Jingning, what are you doing!"

Xu Jingning stood up and took a step forward.

It was not known whether it was an accident or he really wanted to do this, but one of Xu Jingning's feet was hanging in the air and he was about to fall down.

Director Liu quickly said, "Don't put away the air cushion! Use the pressure, don't hurt the actors!"

But faster than he spoke, someone ran up in time and pulled Xu Jingning back by the waist.

It’s Yan Xun.

He hugged Xu Jingning tightly, and because the movements were too large, the two of them turned around and rolled on the roof.

But in the end, the person was still held firmly in his arms, and apart from scratches, there were no obvious scars.

Everyone was sweating with fear. Director Liu was about to ask someone to help when he saw Yan Xun in the camera scolding Xu Jingning: "What are you doing! I told you to wait in the bureau, but you had to come here alone to be a hero, right?"

Director Liu paused.

He quickly responded: “The actors improvised, and the camera followed.”

At this moment, Xu Jingning's expression was still very confused, and he didn't seem to understand what was happening.

Yan Xun let the man go and sat up with a grin. At this time, the other team members also caught up slowly and took the two away from the unfinished building.

Only then did Director Liu announce "Cut".

The set was busy yet quiet. Looking at the silent Xu Jingning and the frighteningly cold Yan Xun, no one dared to go up and ask what happened.

When they came out, Director Liu looked at the film and said to them, "This one has passed."

Then they called medical staff to come up and help them check.

Chang Le was also there. He watched the two people's "improvisation" again and again, and said thoughtfully: "Xu Jingning is getting into the role?"

"Ah?" This was beyond Director Liu's expectations. "I thought it was just him and Yan Xun improvising..."

"Neither of them is such an irresponsible person. If they improvise, they will at least tell the cooperating actors and director, but the others obviously don't know what happened." Chang Le shook his head, "And the expression just now, Yan Xun is really anxious."

"After rescuing the person, he probably wanted to save the tape out of professional habit."

Otherwise, the first half of this area is perfect, but it would be ruined because of that tiny error.

"Yan Xun's psychological quality is really good."

After saying this, Chang Le felt a little guilty.

If they hadn't been talking too much these days, Xu Jingning wouldn't have been in this state.

No matter what, Yan Xun was already angry.

He could only pray...that it wouldn't affect him.
