Chapter 35
The last scene was a night scene. It happened to be a nice night with a clear sky and a full moon hanging high in the sky. Li Jingwei breathed a sigh of relief. At least the progress would not be delayed by the weather. Her sister-in-law could go back after finishing the filming tonight.
The scene outside the hall was particularly beautiful. A huge simulated pear tree stood there, its crown reflecting the bright moon, and its branches covered with pure white flowers drooped low. In the shadows was Xie Jingyuan's cold face.
Tonight, the immortal in white will dance with a sword under the moon, but he still can't let go of the earthly love, and can't find the way to ascend to heaven. In the end, his breathing becomes disordered and he vomits blood, which makes his close friend sad.
The makeup teacher was tidying up Gu Chen's clothes, while Li Jingwei was explaining the play to Gu Chen: "Teacher Gu, when you dance with the sword later, can you show a hint of loneliness in your posture, but not too obviously? After all, Xie Jingyuan is not a person who shows his emotions, so his loneliness can only be seen through his sword skills, and it would be too much to show it through his facial expression."
"Ah, I know what I said is very abstruse, but this is actually the most ideal performance. It doesn't matter if Teacher Gu can't do it. Just perform a powerful and beautiful sword technique as usual."
Gu Chen didn't comment, but just nodded and said calmly: "I'll try my best."
Since Li Jingwei made the request, Gu Chen found a set of sword techniques that roughly met the requirements in his mind. This was a sword technique created by a certain martial arts master who had been seeking to be defeated alone throughout his life but had no rivals. The sword technique was powerful but full of loneliness.
Li Jingwei confirmed the position of each position again: "Adjust the blower again, the force is too strong, make it more natural..."
"Teacher Gu, please stand about 15 degrees to the right. The moonlight is just right at this angle..."
After confirming, she glanced at the seat prepared in the corner. Why hadn't her brother come yet?
Li Tingqin was coming to visit the set, so Assistant Chen naturally contacted Li Jingwei's assistant in advance to find out the time when Mr. Gu would be filming and arrange related matters so as not to delay the boss's time. The inconspicuous seat in the corner was prepared by Li Jingwei's assistant for Li Tingqin. It was very low-key, but the view was very good.
Since Li Tingqin hadn't arrived yet, Li Jingwei would not affect her normal work process. She took the intercom and said, "All departments are ready...action!"
The blower blew out a "natural" night breeze, making Gu Chen dance in his white clothes. Accompanied by the bright moon and pear blossoms, everything was so leisurely, quiet and beautiful.
However, as soon as Gu Chen drew his sword, he caught Li Jingwei.
What a sharp sword technique!
It was like a ray of light cutting through the darkness, opening and closing with great vigor and excitement. The strength of the sword technique and the softness of the moonlight formed a harmonious beauty.
Li Jingwei was so engrossed in watching that even her breathing slowed down. She didn't even notice when Li Tingqin sat down behind her.
Gu Chen is too strong. Oh no, Xie Jingyuan is too strong. Such convincing swordsmanship truly demonstrates what it means to be so powerful that no one can defeat him, and what it means to be the supreme being in the fairy world.
But no one could match this stunning sword dance, and Li Jingwei did not get to watch for long. With a "click", the sword was sheathed, cleanly and neatly, and this most beautiful and powerful sword dance under the moon came to an end.
The scene was silent. The immortal in white stood quietly with a sword in his hand. The moonlight shone on his shoulders, and only the flowers were falling quietly.
Li Jingwei suddenly realized that this was the loneliness of the strong.
When Li Jingwei was absorbed in his thoughts, Li Tingqin was also staring at Gu Chen. Gu Chen was very focused when he was dancing with the sword. The cold moonlight shone on his face, which gave him a holy and pure beauty. His sharp swordsmanship made people feel his power directly, without any blasphemous thoughts. He really didn't understand how these fans could have such dirty thoughts about this cold and lonely immortal.
As for loneliness... Ah Chen seems to be really lonely, maybe... it's his own fault.
"Cut!" Li Jingwei took a deep breath and recovered from the shock. "Oh my God... Teacher Gu, you have never acted in a movie before, but you have completed my requirements perfectly! Every mysterious point is in place!"
Seeing Li Jingwei's excitement, Li Tingqin, who was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, glanced at her. Didn't they say Jingwei was very strict on the set? Why was she like this to Ah Chen? But Jingwei was right. Ah Chen's performance was indeed perfect.
But Li Tingqin didn't expect that Gu Chen could also dance with a sword. When he was studying abroad, he would also participate in activities such as horse riding and fencing with his classmates, some of whom were professional athletes. However, Gu Chen could be said to be the most perfect and proficient in this regard among all the people he had ever met.
However, Ah Chen had so many strong hobbies and skills, but they were always buried. This shows how much those three families ignored him. Li Tingqin couldn't help but feel that every time he saw such a situation, he would reflect on himself.
Gu Chen also saw Li Tingqin, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled at him faintly.
Under the bright moonlight, among the shadows of the flowers and branches, the immortal in white, who had always been cold and reserved and never showed any emotion, suddenly smiled faintly on his thin lips.
Li Tingqin was slightly startled. He knew that Ah Chen was good-looking, but he didn't expect that with such makeup and atmosphere, just a slight smile would be so touching.
A staff member behind Li Tingqin murmured dully: "Mom, I'm in love..."
Li Tingqin glanced back at the staff member, who was frightened by the terrifying aura.
Li Jingwei saw the look in Li Tingqin's eyes, and held back her smile. She turned her head away from Gu Chen, turned her back to Gu Chen, and whispered to Li Tingqin, "Brother, do you want to go over and say a few words to Teacher Gu?"
However, even so, she saw that Li Tingqin's eyes were still not very friendly when he looked at her. She suddenly understood something and quickly moved away from Li Tingqin. Oh, it turned out that she was blocking her brother from seeing his sister-in-law.
Before, when Jiashu returned to China, her brother didn’t even bring her back for the dinner party. But now, she comes back as soon as her sister-in-law is filming. It seems that her sister-in-law is still more charming.
Li Tingqin simply said: "No, just follow your process, I will just watch from the side and won't disturb you."
He glanced at his watch again and reminded, "Finish it as soon as possible. Teacher Gu needs to rest before 10 o'clock in the evening."
Tsk tsk tsk, Li Jingwei sighed inwardly but nodded very professionally and seriously: "Okay, Mr. Li, I'll continue filming then." It's already nine o'clock. Her brother is really bullying the director for his wife.
Now Gu Chen was going to meditate in the hall. The staff adjusted the lighting and found the most advantageous angle, with the moonlight shining in through the window lattice.
Gu Chen lowered his eyes and closed his brows, the moonlight seemed to give his whole body an unreal halo, Li Tingqin only felt that at this moment there was a more sacred and inviolable meaning.
However, after only a few dozen seconds of filming, Li Jingwei shouted "Cut" and then said, "Come on, add the blood bag in Teacher Gu's mouth."
"Makeup artist, come here and make Teacher Gu's lips paler." Because it is impossible for the lips to be white from the beginning of cultivation, and the makeup will be wrong, so this was shot in two shots.
While waiting for them to do it, Li Jingwei explained, "Teacher Gu, wait a moment, close your eyes and sit in meditation for a while, then make a gesture of disordered breathing and a little pain, and then bite the blood bag, be gentle, just let a little blood flow out to stain your lips red... With your majesty's power, you have to spit blood beautifully, do you understand?"
But Li Tingqin behind Li Jingwei frowned. The pale and bloody lips of the Immortal Venerable...? This scene suddenly reminded him of some discordant content he had seen. What kind of character did Jingwei want to portray by shooting this scene?
Li Jingwei didn't know why, but as she was talking, she felt like she was on edge. She looked back at her brother and was confused. What was he doing? In such a beautiful scene, why did her brother still look so bitter and resentful? Wasn't he looking forward to this?
However, Li Tingqin's gaze did not affect Li Jingwei's filming rhythm. After getting ready, she directly called for action.
Gu Chen's steady breathing while meditating became slightly rapid, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his lips, staining his pale and cold lips. He coughed lightly, then opened his indifferent eyes, but in those eyes that had always been calm, a different emotion was hidden at this moment.
Li Tingqin looked into those eyes from the sidelines and instantly saw the loneliness and pain hidden in those eyes. At this moment, he seemed to see Gu Chen instead of Xie Jingyuan.
However, the waves on the sea were only momentary, and the vast and broad sea returned to calm in an instant.
"Cut! Perfect!" Li Jingwei said with emotion, "Your Majesty is very reserved, so even when he is at his most vulnerable, his expression of sadness and pain should only last for a moment, and he will not reveal too much of his emotions. Teacher Gu, it seems that even if you only have a small role, you have studied this character carefully..."
Gu Chen said: "...This scene is indeed difficult for me." After all, he is very satisfied with his current life. It is not easy for him to search for such a little bit of painful emotion after a long time.
"Teacher Gu, you are too modest!" Li Jingwei said with the excitement of having accomplished something. "Teacher Gu, thank you so much for your guest appearance for the past three days. You saved me from a dangerous situation. Now that the filming is finished, we..."
Li Tingqin behind him gently reminded: "It's half past nine."
Li Jingwei paused: "... In special circumstances, sleeping late one day is also..."
Gu Chen was reminded and said, "Indeed, it's already half past nine. It might be a little late to go back and rest now."
The husband and wife said this at the same time, and Li Jingwei paused again: "..." Suddenly she seemed to understand something!
She immediately spoke faster, and said in a hurry: "Okay, makeup artist, makeup artist! Come and take off Teacher Gu's hood!"
Then, she looked at Li Tingqin and Gu Chen, and said with a confident smile, "Right away, very soon."
The wig was quickly removed, and the makeup artist helped him remove the makeup. Li Jingwei said, "How about this, if Teacher Gu is in a hurry to go back, you can put your costume back on and change clothes slowly. Anyway, the filming of this role has been completed, so it's okay to take the costume back as a souvenir..."
Gu Chen nodded and said, "Let's go." It would be a waste of time to change the costume into his own clothes here, then go back to take a shower, take it off and change again.
Li Tingqin said: "Okay, let's go."
The two of them walked out separately. The people on the set saw that one of them was wearing a wedding ring and the other was not, but they did not associate them with a couple. They just thought that this big man in a suit and tie, as what was said on the Internet, came to visit the mysterious Teacher Gu.
When they arrived at the parking lot, they got into the same car.
Sitting together in the back seat, Li Tingqin looked at Gu Chen and saw a dark red on his lips. He pulled out a piece of paper and said, "This part hasn't been wiped clean yet." Because the lip was towards the inside, the makeup artist was too embarrassed to wipe it off when removing makeup, so it was left.
In the dim back seat of the car at night, Li Tingqin reached out with a tissue and wiped him.
Looking at the blood-stained thin lips that were full of coldness, Li Tingqin's mind suddenly emerged with the words he had accidentally seen yesterday.
"His fingertips wiped the blood from the corner of Xie Jingyuan's lips, and then pressed into the slightly opened thin lips, feeling the warmth between the lips and teeth, he..."
Li Tingqin immediately stopped the chaotic thoughts in his mind. What on earth was he thinking about? These filthy words were too disturbing.
So he looked away, frowned, handed the tissue to Gu Chen, and said, "Ah Chen, wipe it yourself again."
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, took the tissue, and without saying anything, wiped the fake blood from the corner of his lips himself.
Because paparazzi had already sneaked into the Mu Hotel last time, Assistant Chen arranged for them to stay in the presidential suite of another high-end hotel for safety reasons.
Entering the suite, Li Tingqin took off his suit jacket and said, "Assistant Chen has brought your luggage to you."
He took off his tie, unbuttoned his cufflinks, rolled up his shirt sleeves halfway, and helped Gu Chen take out the silk bathrobe.
Gu Chen was taking off the complicated ancient costume, taking off a layer of gorgeous outer robe embroidered with silver dark patterns, and then taking off a layer of lining robe. Innermost was a white cross-collared middle coat. Li Tingqin took a glance and saw two beautiful collarbones.
Then, as if he didn't want to go into the bathroom wearing this clothes, Gu Chen took off the middle shirt again. Because he had been exercising, he now had a thin layer of abdominal muscles. Although he didn't look strong, it made the lines of his whole body particularly beautiful.
"Mr. Li, please help me put away the costume." Since he said he would keep it as a souvenir, he should keep it well.
Li Tingqin's Adam's apple rolled and he said, "Okay."
Like the Immortal Venerable Xie Jingyuan, Gu Chen has a cold white skin and looks particularly cold, so some people would write:
He held his waist and whispered, "Master, you look so indifferent and your body looks so cold. I wonder... are you hot?"
Thinking of this, Li Tingqin immediately looked away. He shouldn't have offended Ah Chen like this. Maybe these words were too brainwashing?
Li Tingqin restrained himself and said, "Ah Chen, I'm sorry, how about I go in first?"
Gu Chen was a little surprised and said, "We are all men, what's offensive about this?"
"Besides," Gu Chen put the silver wedding ring he took off for filming back on his ring finger, "Aren't we already married?"
