Chapter 7
Ever since he made a big mistake during the script reading, Jiang Zihang had hoped to outdo Su Xingyao during the actual filming.
As a result, he immediately realized a fact on the first day of filming.
It turns out that I am the one with the worst acting skills in the crew.
The legendary good-for-nothing Su Xingyao is not only a good actor, but can even be considered quite good.
Even when acting opposite experienced actors, he is not much inferior.
After finally realizing that he was inferior to Su Xingyao in every way, Jiang Zihang had no choice but to settle down.
After the filming officially started, not only Jiang Zihang, but also other people in the crew were surprised by Su Xingyao's performance.
After all, he had a bad reputation, so everyone's expectations of him were set to the lowest from the beginning.
Many people even look at him with the idea that as long as he doesn't act up and can finish filming the show well, that's enough.
But what no one would have expected was that not only did he not do drugs, his acting skills, lines and attitude during filming were all excellent.
There was no such thing as the haters saying that there was no one-two-three-four-five on the set.
Realizing that the rumors were not credible, the crew members gradually began to look at him with new eyes in just a few days.
*
Ji Linghe was rarely scheduled to perform in a late-night show today.
He was in a good mood and was planning to go out for a hotpot if he finished work early today.
However, things did not go as planned. Jiang Zihang, who was acting opposite him, looked like he had not woken up yet and was out of shape the whole day.
Although Ji Linghe is a professional actor, his performance is experiential and relies on the feeling of being on the scene.
So when he met someone like Jiang Zihang who couldn't get into the state and kept making mistakes, he became frustrated after doing this over and over again for an entire afternoon.
The consequence of this is that in the next scene when he is acting with the veteran actor, his emotions and state are not right.
After finally finishing the scene with his own professional level, Ji Linghe's face immediately turned cold and he became extremely irritable.
Today's temperature has exceeded 35 degrees, and the crew is like a furnace.
In such hot weather, Ji Linghe became more and more irritated because his filming was not going smoothly because of other people.
After lowering his head and throwing his cloak to his assistant, he sat down next to the air conditioner vent.
With a dry mouth, he tried blowing cold air for a while but found that it didn't help. Feeling dizzy from the heat, he reached out his hand to get the mineral water that his assistant had placed under the chair.
Ji Linghe had just stretched out his hand when he suddenly felt a coolness at his fingertips.
Soon the coolness spread along the fingertips.
And the heat in his body seemed to begin to subside because of the coolness.
Ji Linghe immediately realized that the touch was not caused by the mineral water bottle, so he looked over.
He found that what he touched was a glass of iced lemon soda handed to him by Su Xingyao.
In the transparent crystal glass, lemon slices and ice cubes are soaked in clear soda, bubbling away. A blue straw is resting on the edge of the glass, with a few tender green and fresh mint leaves floating next to it.
Just this color combination gives people a refreshing and cool feeling visually.
"For me?"
Ji Linghe looked at Su Xingyao with some surprise. He never expected that he would be here.
Su Xingyao nodded, put the drink in Ji Linghe's hand, and then handed him a small fan.
Ji Linghe was indeed thirsty. After saying thank you, he lowered his head and took a big sip.
This was his favorite iced drink in the summer, but now he unexpectedly got to drink it in advance on the set in the sweltering April.
After taking a sip, the irritable mood of the whole afternoon was immediately soothed by a glass of lemon soda.
After feeling much better, Ji Linghe finally had a smile on his face.
He looked at Su Xingyao and asked him curiously, "Why haven't you left yet? Didn't you finish filming today's scene a long time ago?"
It was very hot in the crew, and the actors were eager to leave and go back to the air-conditioning after finishing their scenes.
This was the first time he had seen someone like Su Xingyao staying and not leaving.
Of course, Ji Linghe was not narcissistic enough to think that Su Xingyao was waiting for him specially to bring him drinks.
He seldom gossips about other people, but it's not like he can't tell everyone's personality.
Although Su Xingyao had a lot of negative information, he felt that after getting to know her, she was an okay person and not the type of person who would take such things too seriously.
Sure enough, Su Xingyao's answer was almost the same as he expected.
"I'm here to learn from Teacher Gong."
The teacher Gong that Su Xingyao mentioned is the veteran actor who just acted opposite Ji Linghe. He has won the Best Supporting Actor award countless times in his life and is famous for his acting skills.
After listening to this, Ji Linghe nodded.
Because he had done the same thing as Su Xingyao before, he would go to the scene whenever he had the chance and watch the performances of those best actors and actresses.
After all, compared to the finished film, the film set is the most realistic performance scene, and all kinds of unexpected situations may occur.
By watching the performances of these veteran actors live, you can not only learn about acting, but also learn how to deal with various emergencies.
Perhaps because he saw a reflection of his past self in Su Xingyao, Ji Linghe took the initiative to start a conversation with Su Xingyao.
"You can learn a lot of skills from Mr. Gong. But you can actually communicate with him. He is very easygoing and you can ask him any ideas or questions you have."
Su Xingyao smiled and nodded, but then she said softly, "Teacher Gong is too tired now."
Ji Linghe immediately realized what he had overlooked.
Even a young man like him couldn't stand this kind of weather, let alone Mr. Gong who was nearly seventy years old...
Thinking of the fatigue on the other person's face after he finished filming, Ji Linghe nodded at Su Xingyao.
It's really not right to disturb each other now.
Ji Linghe lowered his head and took another sip of the soda in the cup. His impression of Su Xingyao had changed a lot because of his consideration.
As the saying goes, a man who takes favors from others is grateful and a man who drinks from others is soft-hearted.
So after drinking a glass of lemon soda, Ji Linghe, feeling that his life was finally saved, immediately invited Su Xingyao to have hotpot together in the evening.
During the meal, the two chatted casually about their opinions on the upcoming scenes together, and then made an appointment to play games together for a while.
The atmosphere of the meal was not too lively, but not bland either.
Ji Linghe felt that this feeling was just right and made him feel very comfortable.
After dinner, he took the initiative to add Su Xingyao’s private WeChat.
This was the first time he formally met Su Xingyao.
Before this, the two of them were just nodding acquaintances.
Although they had dinner together with the crew, they had never filmed a scene together, so their private communication was very rare.
After eating hotpot together tonight, Ji Linghe's opinion of Su Xingyao changed greatly.
He found that the other person was well-spoken and emotionally stable, and was a very suitable person to be a friend.
So after returning to the hotel, Ji Linghe thought of the first time he heard Su Xingyao recite his lines, and took the initiative to find him.
"I have a scene tomorrow morning. Xiao Su, can you please go over your lines with me?"
Su Xingyao did not refuse and agreed readily.
In the evening, the two of them rehearsed the lines with the script until nearly ten o'clock.
Infected by Su Xingyao's good condition, Ji Linghe finally recovered the state that was disrupted by Jiang Zihang during the day.
Ji Linghe was very grateful to Su Xingyao for the help he provided when he was not in good condition.
It was also from that day that his attitude towards Su Xingyao became noticeably closer.
When he is free, he will take the initiative to find Su Xingyao to rehearse the lines together, and will also kindly point out to him the areas that require special attention in performance, positioning, camera movements, etc.
With the guidance of Ji Linghe, a professional actor, Su Xingyao's subsequent filming went much more smoothly.
However, after the two of them became friends, Jiang Zihang, who had been well-behaved for a while, began to have opinions again.
He took on this drama with the intention of becoming a top star in the future.
However, if a BL drama wants to be a hit, the most important thing is that the couple must be sweet and enjoyable.
His agent has reminded him countless times that he must interact more with Ji Linghe during filming and let the camera capture more of their unintentional intimacy outside the play.
This way, when it is put in the behind-the-scenes footage, it will be evidence of their love in the eyes of CP fans!
After all, the more interactions there are outside the play and the more realistic the performance is, the more genuine the CP fans will feel.
Jiang Zihang always kept his agent's words in mind, and of course tried his best to do what the other party said.
But unfortunately, Ji Linghe was not very cooperative, was always indifferent to him, and was not very active in business.
Jiang Zihang, who was already worried about this, now discovered that Ji Linghe was so attentive to Su Xingyao, teaching him acting and asking him to play together.
He felt as if he had eaten ten thousand lemons, feeling sour and jealous to the sky.
Seeing that Su Xingyao was getting more and more annoyed, Jiang Zihang couldn't help it in the end, so he started to complain crazily to his good friend Shen Huaixi.
Then ask the other party to come and visit you.

"Flowers Falling on Glass" is divided into the chapters of immortals and demons and the human world.
The scenes of "The Immortal and Demon Chapter" account for a small number of them, so they were filmed very quickly.
So in about two weeks, the main scenes of the Immortal and Demon chapter were completed, and the filming of the plot smoothly shifted to the human world chapter.
The plot of the human world is much more complicated, and the shooting scenes are also different.
Most of the plot crews were arranged in the studio of the film and television city, but before filming these plots, the crew arranged a three-day location shooting.
So the crew moved the filming location to a beautiful mountain forest several hundred kilometers away from Y City.
The filming location is a scenic spot that is still under development. It is surrounded by mountains and is quiet and beautiful.
But what matches the pure natural scenery is that the conditions here are rather harsh.
There are no hotels or B&Bs here, so the actors can only live in local wooden houses or bamboo huts.
Su Xingyao gave the bamboo forest hut with relatively better environment to her female colleague, and she herself lived in a quiet wooden house on the side.
The wooden house was very simple, with only a wooden bed and no furniture.
However, Su Xingyao, who had lived a hard life before, didn't feel anything.
After quickly tidying up the room, he walked out and prepared to take a walk around the neighborhood and take some photos.
As soon as Su Xingyao went out, she saw Yu Sisi walking around anxiously in the yard with her cell phone in her hand.
He thought the other party was in some trouble, so he hurried towards him.
"What's wrong, Sister Sisi?"
Yu Sisi, who was originally frowning, lit up when she saw Su Xingyao, and quickly shook her cell phone at him.
"Hey Xingyao, is there a signal in your room? The signal in my room is so bad that I can't even video chat with my daughter."
Su Xingyao hadn't looked at her phone yet, so naturally she didn't know what the signal was like.
Seeing Yu Sisi asking herself, she quickly took out her cell phone and looked at it.
"One."
When Yu Sisi heard the signal Su Xingyao reported, the expectation on her face instantly disappeared.
"You are one too? Mine is one too."
After saying that, she began to complain half-jokingly.
"Director Wang has found a place that is worthy of being called the place where the gods live. The main feature of our mobile phones is that they are completely unable to connect to human signals."
As soon as Yu Sisi finished speaking, Ji Linghe joined them with his cell phone in hand.
"Do you have a bad signal too?"
After saying that, he pointed speechlessly at the frozen screen on his phone.
"Today is the new season, and I wanted to play with my friends and get some points while I'm not filming...but this signal completely confused me."
While the three people were talking, other crew members also noticed this problem and began to worry deeply about this weak signal.
"Is there no signal here because it's too desolate? I feel like the phone calls are intermittent."
After hearing what Yu Sisi's assistant said, Su Xingyao shook her head.
"It's probably because the mountains are too high. The mountains and trees block the mobile phone signals sent from the base station, so the signals everyone receives are relatively weak."
Hearing the popular science suddenly, the assistant immediately looked at Su Xingyao in admiration, "So that's how it is, Teacher Su, you really know a lot..."
Su Xingyao shook her head, then looked at everyone who were worried about the signal.
Then he spoke tentatively.
"Maybe...we can try using a signal booster."
Yu Sisi heard about this thing for the first time, and asked Su Xingyao in confusion, "What signal are you talking about?"
This time, before Su Xingyao opened her mouth, Ji Linghe helped to answer the question.
"Xingyao is talking about a signal booster, which is something that can increase the signal of a mobile phone."
After saying this, Ji Linghe added with some regret.
"I actually thought of this just now, but our place is so remote that by the time I buy it online and have it shipped over, the filming will have already been completed."
Yu Sisi, who had heard that the signal could be enhanced, had just ignited a glimmer of hope.
As a result, Ji Linghe's final words immediately extinguished the fire of hope in her eyes.
She continued to look sad and began to sigh.
"So this is all we can do until the internet is disconnected for three days, right?"
Before Yu Sisi could even utter a sigh, which aggravated her mood, she heard Su Xingyao next to her talking to her assistant.
Su Xingyao turned around and whispered to her assistant Xiaoyu, "Did you bring the express delivery I asked you to pick up yesterday?"
Xiaoyu didn't quite understand why Su Xingyao would ask this at this moment. After a few seconds of confusion, she answered, "I brought it. Susu, do you want to use it now?"
"right."
Xiaoyu was a little confused, but still quickly went to carry the box out.
Su Xingyao took the box and confirmed the contents before speaking to everyone.
"I should be able to assemble one here."
After hearing Su Xingyao's words, everyone around him immediately surrounded him as if they had found a life-saving straw.
"Assemble?? Damn Xingyao you are so awesome!!"
"Ahhh, how do I assemble it? Do you need any materials, Mr. Su? I'll go find them for you right away."
"Teacher Su, can homemade ones enhance the signal? I saw people online saying that this thing is useless."
Amid the noise of everyone talking, Su Xingyao slowly and methodically answered these questions one by one.
“Not homemade.”
"As for tools, I have a complete set here."
After saying that, he opened the express box and introduced the contents to everyone.
"My roommate heard that I was going to the mountains to film a movie a few days ago, so he sent me a newly developed signal booster and told me to try it out first."
As he spoke, he opened the assembly instructions.
After taking a quick look at it, he put it aside.
"If it works after installation, there shouldn't be any problem with watching videos."
After hearing Su Xingyao's words, everyone's eyes began to light up.
Then they stretched their heads and surrounded Su Xingyao in layers.
Everyone stared at Su Xingyao intently, but they all breathed in small sips.
Everyone was very careful, as if they were afraid that if their breathing was a little louder, one of the parts would be blown away.
So in the following time, the actors and staff of the crew had the opportunity to see with their own eyes Su Xingyao, the legendary waste beauty, skillfully assemble all the parts bit by bit.
An hour later, Su Xingyao finally stood up.
He clapped his hands, "Alright."
Ji Linghe quickly handed Su Xingyao a wet tissue, "Teacher Su, wipe your hands."
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to ask the other party, "Is this okay?"
"Let's try it."
Su Xingyao pressed the switch as he spoke.
Everyone present immediately opened their phones and stared intently at the signal bar.
Two seconds later, the whole audience burst into screams.
"Fuck."
“What the hell! What the hell!!”
Everyone was surprised to find that their cell phone signals, which had been sluggish before, were now full in an instant! !
Yu Sisi excitedly opened Douyin to test the Internet speed.
Soon, her video, which had no picture before, started to play automatically and smoothly.
Yu Sisi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this the power of big guys and technology?
That afternoon, the crew members of the "Flowers Falling in Glass" crew spontaneously updated their Moments at the same time, as if they had made an appointment, with great excitement and awe.
The content of this circle of friends is extremely simple, but it reveals the person’s extremely strong, heartfelt and thought-provoking emotions.
The content that everyone posted together is——
Teacher Su!!!
