My Husband is Suffering from a Terminal Illness

Xie Yang struggled in the post-apocalyptic world for many years until he was too tired to go on. Then he transmigrated into a young adult entertainment circle novel where the protagonists have easy...

Chapter 91

Half an hour later, Gao Xuanhang and Wen Yao finished filming their scenes together, and it was Jie Yang's turn to film his first scene in his life with Wen Yao.

This is an emotional scene. Cousin Liu Xue feels sad when she hears that Su Jingmo refuses to marry her, and goes to Su Jingmo to ask the reason. Su Jingmo explained to Liu Xue the dangers of marriage between close relatives, but Liu Xue didn't understand and thought Su Jingmo was making excuses. She also misunderstood the popular science books Su Jingmo took out, slapped Su Jingmo and left.

Zhou Huairen went over to explain the play to Jie Yang and Wen Yao, saying, "This play is not just an emotional conflict play, but also a small collision point between the new era and the old era. Your body language should reflect the education you have received. Wen Yao, you are more emotional here, but you should hold back your feelings because your education does not allow you to express your feelings directly. Do you understand?"

Wen Yao nodded.

Zhou Huairen looked at Jie Yang again: "Jie Yang, your eyes should be more delicate after you were beaten. From here on, you realize that home is no longer the warm harbor in your memory. It is a cage that drags everyone down and traps everyone. You start to grow up, and you want to change everyone. Your eyes should express your inner conflicts and feelings. Do you understand?"

Xie Yang digested Zhou Huairen's words carefully and nodded.

After a few minutes of preparation, the filming officially began.

Xie Yang sat behind the camera, closed his eyes to adjust his emotions, put himself into the role of Su Jingmo, then opened his eyes and picked up a book.

Zhou Huairen announced the start of filming and the script supervisor clapped the cue.

Wen Yao walked into the house and, just as described in the script, she asked Jie Yang questions with grievance and cried sadly. It was the first time for Xie Yang to act in front of a real person, and Wen Yao's instant outburst of emotions was so strong that he realized after only saying a few lines that he had not performed well.

But Zhou Huairen didn't call cut.

Xie Yang then calmed down and continued to act, slowly adjusting his state.

As the plot progresses, the conversation between Liu Xue and Su Jingmo gradually breaks down. Su Jingmo doesn't know how to explain to Liu Xue, so he simply takes out a physiology book from his luggage and turns to the page about reproduction to show Liu Xue.

Liu Xue couldn't read foreign languages, so she only noticed the pictures that were too outrageous for her. She felt ashamed and angry, so angry that she stood up and slapped Jie Yang hard...

"Card!"

Zhou Huairen looked at Wen Yao: "The angle of your arm is wrong. Also, Wen Yao, you are too emotional. Jie Yang, you have more problems. Come here, I will tell you more."

Xie Yang nodded, stood up, thanked Wen Yao for his hard work and apologized, then walked over to sit next to Zhou Huairen.

Wen Yao looked at Jie Yang's back, then looked at her own hands and frowned.

After talking for a while, the second shoot started. Xie Yang's performance this time was much better than the first time. There were no problems with his positioning, his lines were more accurate, and his emotions were fuller.

But Zhou Huairen called out "Cut" again.

"Wen Yao, be careful with how hard you hit me. Don't use the same hitting method you used to use when filming TV dramas. That method looks too exaggerated on the big screen. Try to get the feeling again."

Wen Yao nodded.

During the third take, Jie Yang's performance was even more perfect, but the scene got stuck again at the part where Wen Yao beat someone.

Everyone was a little stunned.

Before filming this scene, everyone was prepared for it to take a long time to polish. But they all thought it was Jie Yang who needed polishing, but why is it that Wen Yao is the one who keeps having problems now?

After that, Wen Yao got stuck three times in a row on the beating scene. Director Zhou personally went up to show Wen Yao how to play, but perhaps because of too much psychological pressure, Wen Yao was not as relaxed as at the beginning.

The atmosphere on the set gradually became tense.

Xie Yang learned a lot from the process of repeatedly shooting the same scene. After getting stuck again, he took the initiative to find Wen Yao and said, "Senior, if you really can't control the strength and movements, just fight for real."

Wen Yao was stunned, then frowned and asked, "Really?"

"Well, let's really fight. Anyway, I don't have any other scenes today, so fighting won't affect anything."

Wen Yao looked Jie Yang up and down, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "If I really hit him, would you turn around and buy news to say that I bullied a junior like you?"

It was another test, but this time it was much more open.

Xie Yang raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, saying, "Senior seems to be prejudiced against me?"

Wen Yao didn't respond.

"Did Mu Zhouyi tell you something?"

Wen Yao seemed not to understand and asked, "What?"

Xie Yang smiled and said, "Senior, I don't have time to buy news. I just feel that it will affect everyone's mood for filming if we are stuck like this. Besides, I am in a hurry to get off work to appease my jealous husband. Can you let me get off work quickly?"

Wen Yao was stunned again, then looked at Jie Yang deeply and nodded imperceptibly.

Xie Yang returned to his rest area. Qin Cheng handed over a glass of water and said, "Wen Yao was deliberately suppressing your performance at the beginning. Do you have a conflict with her?"

Xie Yang took a sip of water, thought about Wen Yao's performance just now, and shook his head: "It should be gone."

A few minutes later, the filming started again. Wen Yao did not follow Jie Yang's advice and choose to really fight, but tried hard to adjust her state and find the feeling. Finally, after two more attempts, she polished the scene through.

After the filming, Wen Yao took the initiative to find Jie Yang, gave him some facial masks, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

It was the first time that Xie Yang received a facial mask. He smiled at Wen Yao and said, "It's not hard. It was a pleasure to film with my seniors. I learned a lot."

Wen Yao said: "You are very different from what was rumored."

"Rumors usually carry the personal emotions of the person who spreads them."

Wen Yao understood the hint and said nothing more before saying goodbye and leaving.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Xie Yang made a video call to Qiu Xing. This was his first video call with Qiu Xingdan, and it felt a bit new.

It took Qiu Xing more than twenty seconds to answer the call.

The picture appears, and Qiu Xing's figure appears in the center of the picture. He is sitting at the desk in his study at home, looking down at documents. He doesn't look at the camera, and looks like "I'm working hard, I'm very busy."

Xie Yang suppressed his laughter and said, "Look at me."

Qiu Xing then moved, put down the documents modestly, looked towards the camera, and said: "Why are you so clingy every day - what the hell is that on your face!"

Xie Yang laughed, then quickly straightened his expression, touched the seaweed mud mask on his face, and said, "This is a mask given to me by an actress in the same group. Today, I filmed several scenes with her, and she wanted to pretend to slap me. I guess she was afraid that I would have problems if she hit me, so she gave me this."

A storm brewed on Qiu Xing's face in an instant: "She hit you?"

"Fake fight, actually just touching."

The storm on Qiu Xing’s face intensified: “She touched you?!”

Xie Yang paused and asked, "Are you jealous?"

“…”

The screen suddenly went black, Qiu Xing blocked the camera with something, and then Qiu Xing's angry voice came: "Go wash off the mask. I'll ask Wu Shui to get you a doctor. If there is a problem, treat it. What's the use of masks. Also, don't take dramas like this that involve beatings in the future!"

Xie Yang smiled silently, explained that his face was fine and there was no need to call a doctor, then he stood up to wash off the mask, sat back down, tapped the screen of his phone, and said, "Boss Qiu, open the door."

After a few seconds, the black screen lit up again, and Qiu Xing's figure appeared on the screen. Qiu Xing looked at Jie Yang's face with the same seriousness as he was reading a project document. After making sure there were no injuries or mask residue, he relaxed his expression and said, "That's pretty good... What's going on with Man Feidi?"

"A stranger who is just trying to get attention. I don't know him well."

"Why would I put my arm around your shoulder when we're not familiar with each other?" Qiu Xing frowned, and suddenly changed his tone, saying, "Jie Yang, you're not the same as before. You have to... you have to be careful to keep your distance from others."

Xie Yang deliberately asked: "What's the difference?"

"..." Qiu Xing turned his eyes away, crossed his legs, and looked down at the documents. "You know it yourself."

"I have no idea."

Qiu Xing's face twitched, and he flipped through a few more pages of documents. Finally, he turned his head to look at Jie Yang again and warned him, "Behave yourself."

It’s really not easy to get some candy.

Xie Yang started to scare people: "There is a generation gap every three years."

Qiu Xing’s hand holding the document froze.

“Young people are very particular about ritual.”

Qiu Xing frowned imperceptibly.

"Ah Xing."

Qiu Xing turned his head to look at the camera.

Xie Yang smiled and said, "Good night." Then he hung up the phone.

After several minutes of silence, the notification sounds of WeChat messages began to ring continuously. Xie Yang slowly picked up his phone and opened WeChat.

Qiu Xing: No respect for elders!

Qiu Xing: Be a good boy over there.

Qiu Xing: Stay away from that flying thing!

Chou Xing: Don’t take things from others without permission.

After more than a minute.

Qiu Xing: I will come to see you when I am free.

This is followed by an emoticon of someone touching a baby sheep’s head.

at last.

Qiu Xing: Good night.

Xie Yang's eyes kept turning to the words "I'll come to see you when I'm free", and he replied "Waiting for you", then contentedly turned off his phone and went to sleep.

The next day, as soon as Jie Yang finished washing up and walked out of the room, Qin Cheng found him. Qin Cheng said, "Last night, a film critic published a long article, saying that he didn't expect Zhou Huairen would one day compromise with traffic, and that he was disappointed with Zhou Huairen's casting this time. This article is obviously alluding to you, and it has already become the last one to be trended. Do you want to deal with it?"

Xie Yang had guessed that after the news about the start of filming was released yesterday, some people would definitely raise doubts. After all, the original owner's performance in acting class was really bad, and the public should still remember the original owner's terrible performance in the leaked acting class exam video. He replied, "Don't worry about it. It's normal to have doubts."

Qin Cheng nodded and said, "Then I'll just ask the public relations department to keep an eye on the situation."

Most of the scenes that Xie Yang had to shoot that day were his scenes with Man Feidi. Man Feidi’s acting skills are okay, and he is considered to be top-notch among the same group of young actors, but he is far from the level of delicacy that Zhou Huairen requires. Xie Yang is a newcomer. Although he has a good sense of getting into roles and has a good sense of acting, he lacks experience after all and needs to learn more.

The two's rivalry was filmed with great difficulty. After a few scenes, Jie Yang seemed to be fine, but Man Feidi looked like he was about to collapse.

When they were about to return to the hotel after work that day, Man Feidi found Jie Yang and said that he wanted to rehearse the scene to be filmed tomorrow with Jie Yang in advance to get a feel for it.

There were quite a few staff members around at the time, and the filming of that day was indeed not going smoothly. Xie Yang couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

The assistant director who was passing by heard what the two said and praised them with a smile: "Young people should be motivated. It will be good for your future development if you practice more. Keep practicing."

Man Feidi readily agreed, and Jie Yang also responded with a smile.

After returning to the hotel, Xie Yang had just entered the room and taken off his coat when Man Feidi knocked on the door with a script in his hand. Xie Yang listened to Man Feidi's voice coming from outside the door, and his expression faded a little. He did not open the door immediately, but took out his mobile phone and made a video call to Qiu Xing.

The call was answered quickly, and Qiu Xing's face appeared on the screen. Judging from the background, he should be in the car.

Qiu Xing still pretended to be casual and didn't want to meet Jie Yang's eyes. He asked, "Why are you so early today? Have you had dinner?"

Jie Yang quickly told him that today's filming was not going well and that Man Feidi was coming to act with him, and explained: "I was afraid that you would have to wait for me, so I told you in advance. I will let Wu Shui stay in the room with me. Don't be angry, just eat well." After that, he hung up the call, put away his phone, and went to open the door.
