Chapter 22 Kissing and Dreaming
The two returned to the conference room one after the other. Everyone inside was already seated, except Ji Qingyao who had asked for leave, and they were the only two left.
When they came in, their eyes all turned to the door.
"Sorry to waste everyone's time." Shi Qing lowered her head, her ears burning uncontrollably.
This scene was very similar to when she was in school and was late for class. The whole class stared at her and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Thinking of this, Shi Qing couldn't help but look up and secretly glanced at the person next to her.
However, the person who caused this embarrassment appeared to be open and honest.
Sheng Han sat in his seat without changing his expression, and even deliberately placed his right hand wrapped in white gauze on the table.
Wang Xing had worked with Sheng Han before and knew that he was not a squeamish person. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Sheng Han, what's wrong with your hand?"
Sheng Han cleared his throat: "It's nothing, I was just scratched by Ji Qingyao, and Teacher Shi was kind enough to help me take care of it."
As soon as he finished speaking, several meaningful glances were directed at him.
Ji Guanyu's heart trembled, and he decided that when he returned, he must persuade his brother and sister-in-law to stop bothering to match these two people.
Zhou Yuwen, who was sitting opposite, propped up his chin and gave his cousin an ambiguous look that said "I understand everything".
Tsk, it’s just a minor injury, yet you bandaged it like this? You’re so delicate.
"Okay, okay, now that everyone is here, let's hurry up and officially get started." Wang Xing clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back on track.
He then briefly introduced the core creative team, "This is our producer, Mr. Zhou Yuanwei, producer Ji Guanyu, assistant directors Bi Haochuan and Zhou Yuwen, and our screenwriter Jin Chuchu..."
Zhou Yuwen?
Shi Qing's gaze fell on the little girl opposite who still had a somewhat childish face.
She had heard of Zhou Yuli, the most outstanding grandson of the Zhou family's generation, and the girl in front of her had some similarities with Zhou Yuanwei and Sheng Han in her eyebrows and eyes, and there was also the word "Yu" in her name, so she was probably Sheng Han's cousin.
The script reading officially begins.
"Yue Yan" has been filed for 36 episodes, and the script reading is expected to last for a week.
Most of the main actors will participate, holding the script and reading their own lines with emotion. If they have any doubts or ideas, everyone can discuss them at any time, which will be more helpful for the formal filming.
Not only the actors, but also the directors, cameramen, costume and makeup departments have already conducted a read-through before, and the heads of each department will also propose plans for the actors' read-through.
Therefore, if the script reading is done well, it will be very convenient for the subsequent filming.
Shi Qing looked at the script intently, feeling a long-lost excitement surge in her heart.
She missed this feeling so much.
When filming "The Fairy in the Clouds", she had proposed to the crew many times that they could organize a script reading before filming, even if it was only for one day. However, from the producer to the director, no one took her words to heart.
So it’s normal for some dramas to flop.
After a day of reading together, everyone looked a little tired.
Although Jin Chuchu was tired, her mind was clear. Shi Qing was really a treasure! She made many effective suggestions.
That's right. Jin Chuchu looked at Shi Qing who was still marking carefully. She felt that Shi Qing's voice was very familiar. Some of the suggestions were very similar to those made by Teacher Yintian today.
At that time, during the online discussion, Teacher Yintian only opened the voice chat.
Shi Qing looked at the script filled with annotations with bright eyes, feeling extremely fulfilled.
Near the end, Wang Xing suddenly raised a key question: "By the way, there are several important kissing scenes in our script. I wonder what the two teachers think?"
"Are you planning to borrow someone else's position, or..."
As far as he knows, Sheng Han has never filmed a kissing scene since his debut.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Han said seriously, "Director Wang, we naturally want to pursue the best effect. Borrowing positions will affect the continuity of the emotions."
"I personally have no problem with it. It depends on what Mr. Shi thinks."
Jin Chuchu clenched her fists excitedly, nodded vigorously, and looked at Shi Qing with expectant eyes.
Shi Qing's earlobes were red enough to bleed. She gritted her teeth and tried to make her voice sound calm: "I...I'm fine."
Jin Chuchu covered her mouth excitedly.
Great! She wants to add a few more kissing scenes. When the time comes, kiss me hard!
Wang Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! Then during this period of time, you two should cultivate your relationship and get to know each other better. Our first scene after filming is the kissing scene in the library."
The curve of Sheng Han's mouth deepened: "Okay. Then when the time comes, I'll have to ask Teacher Shi for more guidance." But there was a hint of bitterness in his tone.
Shi Qing smiled awkwardly, "I don't deserve your advice."
She really didn't deserve it! Who would have thought that she, a veteran actress with so many years of experience, had never filmed a kissing scene.
It's not that she has any taboos; as an actress, she's already mentally prepared. It's just that the romantic dramas she's taken on since her debut have either been too restrictive to include kissing scenes due to subject matter restrictions, or because her co-stars have requested a borrowed shot for various reasons.
Take the urban drama with the most love scenes for example. Xu Hui was dating his current wife at the time. Fearing that his girlfriend would get jealous, he strongly requested that all kissing scenes be shot with a stand-in, or... his girlfriend herself act as a stand-in.
Therefore, Shi Qing, who has full marks in theoretical knowledge, has zero practical experience.
It seems that I need to catch up on some classic romance movies and study more during this period!
——
At night, Shi Qing lay on the bed. She had originally intended to review the day's script before going to sleep, but before she knew it, she was dragged into sleep by deep fatigue.
The air conditioner was blowing, and the sound brought back fragments of memories.
There was a lot of noise.
The media's flashbulbs clicked.
The heart beats erratically in the chest.
She heard her own choked sobs: "It was when Ah Jiang jumped into the river. It seems... it seems like there were many times when I couldn't help crying, all because of Ah Jiang..."
It was the roadshow of "Hidden". She was deeply moved by the plot of the movie and was selected for an interview.
The host asked which scene made her cry the most.
In front of the big screen, Sheng Han held the microphone and looked at her gently.
His voice was low and he smiled: "It's my fault that I made Teacher Shi cry so miserably."
Those few words made her cheeks instantly burn red.
I could also faintly hear the uncontrollable discussions of the audience in the back row:
"I've never seen Brother Han like this before!"
“It’s so delicious!”
"Brother Han is so gentle today!"
The scene changes again.
She was putting on makeup in the bathroom and was teased by her best friend Luo Ruiyan who was in love.
She also righteously retorted that she absolutely did not like Sheng Han's type.
As a result, I met Sheng Han as soon as I went out.
Before he could react, Sheng Han pulled him into a corner.
The central air conditioner above blew the red ribbons, and her heart was also itchy.
Sheng Han approached her step by step with a scorching breath, and the shadow cast by his tall figure completely enveloped her until she was trapped in a small space.
The cold tiles pressed against her back, and her hands unconsciously pinched the hem of her skirt.
