Chapter 54: Summer Solstice Point I also have on my face.
A few minutes later, the script supervisor came over and asked everyone to prepare for filming.
The two stood up from their chairs at the same time and looked at each other, their eyes full of fighting spirit and tacit understanding. They took a deep breath and resolutely stepped onto the "snow field".
When he walked into the constructed snow scene, Chen Xing discovered that the lights were a little warmer and yellower than in previous episodes.
It is indeed a heartwarming little story.
"I'll do the final design."
Xiaoling walked over quickly, holding the wide scarf in her hand, and carefully put it around Chen Xing.
The scarf almost covered most of his face, leaving only a section of his straight nose and a pair of big, fluttering eyes exposed.
Fortunately, Xiaoling reserved space for recording, so Chen Xing did not have difficulty breathing.
Chen Xing blinked his eyes, adjusted himself to the view in front of him, and then gave a toothless smile to the team members who were watching from a distance.
Zhao Xingyu waved at him from afar; Xia Huanming nodded slightly, his eyes calm and focused; Zheng Qi shouted at the top of his voice: "Try to finish it in one take!" The voice was so loud that it almost spread throughout the entire set.
Seeing that everyone responded to him, Chen Xing's mood suddenly improved and the smile on his lips deepened.
At this time, Director Yu came over and began to explain the next moves and precautions. Chen Xing was in high spirits and responded loudly: "Okay!"
Director Yu was amused by his energetic spirit and patted his shoulder with a smile: "I like your spirit. Let's try to pass it in one try!"
Shao Shuxian also nodded and agreed softly: "Yeah."
Director Yu asked someone to bring an iron bowl with a few ice cubes in it.
This is to simulate the effect of winter breath, so they have to hold ice cubes in their mouths.
Chen Xing had put it in his mouth before, but he didn't put it in the right position at first, so his speech was unclear. It was only when Xia Huanming told him to hold it under the tip of his tongue that he was able to speak properly.
Director Yu told them: "We will be photographing close-ups this time, so be careful to hide well."
The two nodded obediently.
Director Yu returned to the monitor, the script supervisor came over and clapped the cue, and filming officially began.
The snow machine made a low hum. As the artificial snow fell, the whole set suddenly became quiet.
The fine snow first floated sporadically on Chen Xing's shoulders, and gradually weaved into a dense curtain.
The air flow created by the bellows swept over a few flakes of snow, which fell on the mottled green paint of the mailbox. Chen Xing and Shao Shuxian walked slowly on the snow on the sidewalk, passing various small shops and meeting many passers-by who were rushing home.
When you reach the corner, the view suddenly opens up. You can see the sunshine and colorful clouds in the distance over the low houses.
Chen Xing tilted his head back slightly, letting the snowflakes fall on his eyelashes. His Adam's apple rolled gently under his scarf, but his voice was as steady as an unfrozen spring under the ice: "Teacher Mo, are you leaving too?"
When Shao Shuxian looked at Chen Xing, her eyelashes were also stained with two snowflakes: "Well, it's all over, and I'm going to follow my parents."
Chen Xing raised his voice a little, anxiously trying to keep her: "But the children will miss you."
Shao Shuxian smiled softly: "But I think they will miss you more."
…
The actors on the stage acted seriously, and the people outside watched with bated breath. This segment is a long shot, so it is best to get it through in one take.
After all, if they had to reshoot, they would have to deal with the snow that had been blown by the snow machine. It was quite troublesome. So now not only the filming crew, but also the costume and makeup staff came to watch them filming, and many people gathered in this area. Several actors changed their positions and moved a little further away from the filming location, but their expressions could still be seen clearly.
Xia Huanming felt that there was no problem with the two of them performing in one take, as both their lines and actions were very good.
Many people began to whisper to each other, praising Chen Xing's terrifying learning ability.
For example: "It's only the third episode and we can already shoot long takes. If it's the end of the eighth episode, maybe we can really go straight to the male lead role."
Hearing this, Xia Huanming felt proud for no reason.
"Okay, I'll make a call then."
Chen Xing naturally took out his cell phone and dialed the number.
Of course the call was fake.
He performed according to what teacher Zhang Jin'an had taught him before - when pretending to make a phone call, he needed to first imagine the other party's speaking habits when making a normal phone call. It was impossible to answer the phone immediately, so he had to stay for a while to give the other party time to speak.
Shao Shuxian waited for more than ten seconds, pulled Chen Xing's sleeve, shook her head and said, "Forget it, if you can't come, then don't come."
Chen Xing had no choice but to hang up the phone with regret.
Based on this paragraph, Zheng Qi poked Xia Huanming's shoulder and said thoughtfully: "It seems that they are both in very good condition. I think there is a hope that they can pass it in one go."
Shen Miao nodded contentedly and said, "Our Xianxian has really improved, her voice has become much louder."
Xia Huanming also said: "Chen Xing has also made great progress, and his lines are very good."
At this time, Zhao Xingyu, who seemed to be thinking about something, finally spoke: "They are a good match. Do you think they will become the first real couple in our program?"
Shen Miao, who was about to yawn, said: “?!”
Xia Huanming, who was concentrating on watching the performance, said: "!?"
The two of them immediately turned around and looked at Zhao Xingyu at the same time: "Impossible!"
Zhao Xingyu was startled by the resolute tone of the two men, but he didn't give up and asked casually: "Why? Don't you think it's a good match?"
Shen Miao looked at Shao Shuxian who was acting and shook his head vigorously: "It's totally unmatched. Our Xiaoxian is so cute, gentle, reserved, and pretty. It doesn't match at all."
Xia Huanming followed behind Shen Miao and said coldly: "Chen Xing has an optimistic, positive and kind personality, and he also looks sunny and handsome, it doesn't match."
Zhao Xingyu: “…”
...Isn't this a good match?
Zhao Xingyu asked quietly, "Is there no possibility of matchmaking?"
The two of them refuted it with a big “No.”
Zhao Xingyu: "...Okay."
Shen Miao smiled speechlessly: "Why do you always want to pair people up?"
"Because Xiaozhu said he likes this type." Zhao Xingyu shrugged. Why else could he do that? Of course it was for his brother's happiness. Otherwise, who would care?
After hearing this, Shen Miao smiled freely: "Oh - that has nothing to do with our Xianxian. She is very enthusiastic after getting familiar with her."
"..." Xia Huanming stared at Zhao Xingyu, "When did I tell you?"
"The day before yesterday? Well, since you were not here, I asked him casually when he was playing games with me, and he said he likes quiet and kind girls; a few centimeters or even a dozen centimeters difference in height is fine; and her looks are similar to his, nothing else. Oh, there is one very important point." Zhao Xingyu paused here deliberately, leaving the question in suspense.
Xia Huanming frowned slightly and subconsciously asked, "What?"
Zhao Xingyu leaned close to his ear, lowered his voice, and said with a suppressed smile: "Good figure."
Xia Huanming: “…”
Zhao Xingyu saw that Xia Huanming was silent like him at that time, and smiled teasingly: "I had the same reaction at that time. Our Xiaozhu is also a serious person."
Xia Huanming did not respond, but just glanced at Zhao Xingyu indifferently, and then retracted his gaze, as if the previous conversation did not stir any ripples in his heart.
But in fact, after Zhao Xingyu dropped the bomb, Xia Huanming could no longer focus on the play being performed. Those light words were like fine silver needles, piercing the softest folds of the heart as they traveled through the blood.
All he could think about were those few words.
Quiet and kind, height difference, good looks, good figure...
Looking at Shao Shuxian again, she really fits these words perfectly.
Shen Miao is very good at judging people, and what she says is completely trustworthy.
Shao Shuxian's gentleness and restraint are not pretended, she is really that kind of person.
It is very common for actors to fall in love during a drama, especially after acting in a romantic drama.
The atmosphere of the lights, the ambiguous lines, and the slight physical contact, each step can make people secrete dopamine at a very fast speed, and love surges out unstoppably, and finally turns into a sentence -
"Actually, I like you."
Chen Xing looked at Shao Shuxian deeply and held her hand.
When Xia Huanming really heard these words, the "white snow" fell motionlessly from his eyes and slowly landed on Chen Xing's eyelashes.
Winter is the season with the most romantic dramas. Across the heavy frost and snow, the protagonists meet in the cold winter.
After all, humans see the ups and downs of life and like to overcome numerous obstacles to be together, and the coldness of winter just satisfies people's gentle fantasy of "hugging each other for warmth" in love.
The indoor air conditioning is turned on so high that the seemingly freezing snow is more scorching than the midday sun in midsummer.
It burned through Xia Huanming's heart.
If I were to fall in love with someone, why couldn't it be him?
He was born in Hainan, where the four seasons are like spring. It was the first snow that Chen Xing took him to see. He didn’t know that snow could also be a warm color, a translucent bright orange, or a warm late spring.
He suddenly remembered the iced bayberries he had eaten as a child. The plump flesh was wrapped in sharp ice chips. At this moment, those ice chips were constantly piercing his heart as Chen Xing recited his lines.
"Why can't you like me?" Chen Xing frowned and asked aggrievedly.
Yeah, why wouldn't I like you?
If the person opposite him was him, he would have agreed long ago.
Xia Huanming's thoughts had drifted away, and his knuckles unconsciously clenched as if they were going to dig into his palms.
But his movement was so quiet that no one around him noticed.
Chen Xing and Shao Shuxian's scenes were filmed very quickly, followed by Chen Xing's solo scenes.
Shao Shuxian wanted to walk out of the "snow", but it was too wet and her feet slipped. Fortunately, Chen Xing was quick to hold Shao Shuxian's arm.
After Shao Shuxian stood still, she smiled at Chen Xing and said, "Thank you."
Chen Xing replied politely: "You're welcome."
Shen Miao caught Shao Shuxian outside and said enthusiastically: "Hey, Xianxian, are you okay just now? Did you sprain your ankle?"
Shao Shuxian shook her head: "It's okay, Chen Xing is holding me up."
"That's good," Shen Miao pulled Shao Shuxian, very happy, "Let's go, we can go and rest first, bye, Old Xia."
Before Shen Miao left, he did not forget to tell Xia Huanming.
Xia Huanming waved back, his eyes continuing to focus on the people in the scenery.
Xiaoling came over to touch up Chen Xing's makeup and then left. Chen Xing stood there waiting for the lights to be adjusted. When he looked around, his eyes met Xia Huanming's.
"Are you looking at me?" Chen Xing whispered, smiled at Xia Huanming and made an "OK" gesture.
"..."Xia Huanming couldn't get angry at all when he saw Chen Xing's smile.
The entangled and dark heart just now seemed a little brighter at this moment.
Just a little bit.
Why did I help her just now... Although I really needed help, I could ask others to help... But it seemed that the others were too far away, and only Chen Xing could help.
Xia Huanming knew that he was feeling very awkward at the moment, but he couldn't suppress the inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Just then, Director Yu walked out from behind the monitor with a satisfied smile on his face.
He clapped his hands, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and then began to instruct Chen Xing and Shao Shuxian on their positions, asking them to hurry up and film the children's scenes.
The children came over in droves, running towards Chen Xing as required by the script. Guo Guo grabbed a handful of flowers and handed them to Chen Xing: "Teacher Gu, thank you."
"You're welcome." Chen Xing took the flowers, gently stroked Guoguo's cheek, and said to the other children, "Thank you."
After Chen Xing said this, the children all rushed towards him as if they had heard a starting gun.
Chen Xing sat down and everyone threw themselves on him, calling him Teacher Gu. A few kids grabbed his scarf and pulled it back, almost turning the hug from behind into a chokehold. The scene was in chaos.
Director Yu did not stop it, because the script required such chaos so that it would not appear fake.
Xia Huanming was initially happy that the love scene had been turned into a children's play, but his happiness only lasted a few seconds. When he saw the little boys playfully pulling Chen Xing's scarf, his brows furrowed again.
How did they educate him? He really wanted to pull those naughty kids down and spank them.
However, this part was still being filmed until Director Yu called the end, so we couldn't act rashly.
When the veins on the back of Xia Huanming's hand were about to burst, he suddenly heard the staff member say "Ouch!". Chen Xing, who was originally surrounded, shook off the child on his body and climbed out of the snow.
This is an action that is completely absent from the script.
He put his hands on his hips and said in a teacher's tone in front of everyone's surprised eyes: "It was too dangerous just now. Is it okay to do this? Is this what Teacher Gu taught you? How can you let Teacher Gu leave without worry if you do this?"
Several children were stunned. This part wasn’t in the script?
The few who had acted in plays before knew what was going on. They had to continue acting until they were told to stop. They immediately responded, "That's right! Teacher Gu said we can't do this!"
"That's right!" Guoguo pulled Chen Xing's finger and said angrily to the boy who had been pulling Chen Xing: "You just pulled the scarf, it's really dangerous!"
"Teacher Gu, I missed you so much and didn't want you to leave..." The little boy blushed and rubbed Chen Xing's pants, "Wuwuwu... I didn't mean it."
Several other children also started crying.
"We don't want you to leave."
"Please don't leave..."
The script only has a few short words about the supporting character Teacher Gu's farewell: "The children said goodbye to Teacher Gu together, and under the setting sun, Teacher Gu left."
But would Teacher Gu, who loves children the most, leave them so easily? Would the children let go so easily and let Teacher Gu go?
These little actors told the adults the answer.
Director Yu, who is keen on "naturalness", would never miss this clip. He kept filming until Chen Xing returned to the original flow of his lines. Only then did he announce the end of filming with the last shot.
But the key point was the unexpected situation just now.
Even after the filming was over, these kids were still crying, but what they were saying was: "Wake up, brother, can we meet again in the future?"
The other children realized that they would not come to the set after the end of the day, and the tears that had originally stopped burst out again. They pulled Chen Xing's pants to prevent him from leaving.
Director Yu wanted to talk to Chen Xing, but Chen Xing was surrounded by people, so he could only give Chen Xing a thumbs up from a few meters away: "You performed well on the spot just now. It seems that your popularity among the children is not a bad thing. They all cried sincerely, which was more effective."
Chen Xing nodded to show that he heard it.
Because he was busy dealing with these kids and couldn't be distracted.
Chen Xing squatted down and wiped the children's tears with the tissues thrown by the staff. Parents gathered around and wanted to take their children away, but found that they were all piled together and could not bring themselves to do it.
Chen Xing gestured for him to handle it.
He saw the children's eyes turned red like little apples, and he couldn't help but chuckle and comforted them: "We will definitely meet again in the future, don't cry. I will finish filming the day after tomorrow, so you can come to see me the day after tomorrow, and I will buy you some delicious food."
"After the filming is over, can you go back with me?" A child looked at the parents behind him and said, "Mom, can you let Brother Xingxing come to my house?"
After hearing this, the other children became extremely anxious and vied with each other to get Chen Xing to come to their place.
"Then let's go to my house first. My house is super big - it can accommodate a lot of people."
"I have a small yard at home! There's a small swing in the yard! Come to my house!"
They gestured with their hands, some drew semicircles in the air, and their words became more and more exaggerated.
"My house is very long, longer than the Great Wall, and it can fly!"
"My house is even bigger, it's as big as half the earth. Xingxing brother, come and live in my house."
"My home is in space! The whole space is my home!"
"My cousin is very beautiful, Brother Xingxing can be my brother-in-law!"
This clear and loud "marriage proposal" content stands out in the "home furnishing competition".
Chen Xing: “…”
Parents: “…”
Children: “…”
Only the little boy who said this was left raising his head proudly.
After a few seconds, the parents burst into laughter.
One parent praised: "This child is really smart. He knows to identify his relatives first and then take him down."
The other parents nodded in agreement.
Thanks to this little kid, the other children quieted down, and the parents had a reason to take them away.
The children reluctantly said goodbye, and Chen Xing returned to peace. Only Guoguo was left looking at him with tears in her eyes: "My house is not big, and I don't have a pretty sister... But brother Xingxing, can you please not forget me?"
Guoguo was about to cry as she spoke, biting her lower lip hard, tears in her eyes.
Chen Xing touched Guoguo's head and said gently, "Guoguo is so cute and well-behaved, how could I forget you? I'll bring you some candy later, please wait for me for a while."
"Okay, see you later." Guoguo nodded vigorously and walked away holding her mother's hand.
After seeing off the last child, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the set.
Zheng Qi greeted him with a smile and praised him, "That's fine. You can add drama based on your strength. How did you come up with that?"
Chen Xing looked at him innocently: "Because I was really about to be strangled to death."
This is true. If it weren't for his strong core that allowed him to stand up, he would have been strangled by the kid and couldn't speak clearly.
Zheng Qi's eyes widened as he looked Chen Xing up and down. His expression changed from approval to admiration: "I thought your painful expression was for effect. It turns out that something almost happened. Fortunately, you are smart!"
Chen Xing said embarrassedly: "Because Ah Huan said that if there is an accident, we must continue acting as long as no one calls for a stop. I can't let a good shoot go to waste because of me."
Zheng Qi said "Okay, okay", patted Chen Xing on the shoulder, and said that he was going to change his clothes, and said goodbye to Chen Xing first.
Chen Xing walked slowly to Xia Huanming.
He could guarantee that Xia Huanming must have heard what he said, otherwise how could she give him such a gentle smile.
Chen Xing stood in front of Xia Huanming, pulled his scarf down a little, and finally revealed his mouth: "I will remember your teachings."
"Yeah, it's all over your hair." Xia Huanming said, pointing at his hair.
When Chen Xing heard him talking, he quickly shook his head, trying to shake off some of the snow on his hair. Finally, he blinked at Xia Huanming to confirm: "What about now? Any more?"
The unmelted snow particles dotted Chen Xing's hair, looking like a layer of crystal icing sugar.
Chen Xing's face was also painted with "frostbitten" blush, as if he had really encountered a snowy sunset.
So cute.
Xia Huanming's heart softened and he resisted the urge to rub his face. In the end, he just leaned over slightly and brushed off the remaining snow foam on Chen Xing's hair.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xing pointed at his own face and said confidently, "It's on my face too."
