Chapter 29: Kissing scene in the library
On the first day of the official filming of "Yue Yan", Bi Haochuan led Group B to shoot the scenes of the young actors, while Wang Xing led Group A to shoot the first kiss of the male and female protagonists in the library.
The staff of Group A were very nervous today. Many crews would use kissing scenes to cultivate the relationship between the male and female protagonists and speed up their familiarity, but in many cases they would fail, not to mention they encountered Sheng Han who was not good at filming emotional scenes.
In the corner of the library, Shi Qing, wearing an intricate palace dress, was reading a script, her slightly drooping eyelashes concealing all her emotions.
The makeup artist sensed Shi Qing's stress and carefully tidied up the loose hair at her temples.
In the distance, Sheng Han leaned against a pillar, his eyes falling on Shi Qing without any hesitation.
Wang Xing frowned. Although the last time they acted together the effect was good, he was still a little worried about whether today's filming would be successful.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and reminded everyone, "The official shooting will start in ten minutes, so get ready!"
Shi Qing froze slightly. Although they had kissed in private due to the influence of the atmosphere, they still felt a little pressured to act out an intimate scene in public.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and happened to meet Sheng Han's deep eyes.
The next second, Shi Qing looked away quickly as if she was scalded, but her heart was pounding wildly.
Sheng Han is wearing a black suit today, which makes his figure look even taller and more slender.
In order to fit Wei Yan's early youthfulness, the makeup was deliberately made to look younger, which weakened his usual sharpness and added a bit of gloom.
This was a look of Sheng Han that Shi Qing had never seen before. He was like a sharp blade hidden in its sheath, dangerous and charming.
The deliberate dodging and alienation during this period were infinitely magnified at this moment into an embarrassment and panic that had nowhere to hide.
Time passed quickly, the light in the library became dimmer, and the dust flew in the beams of light, adding a sense of oppression.
Wang Xing sat behind the monitor and said in a serious tone, "Attention, all departments! Action!"
Shi Qing stood in the shadow at the end of the bookshelf, adjusting her breathing, trying to immerse herself in Qi Yue's state of mind.
Qi Yue was looking for the boy who hid herself, and she was very worried about him.
Following the director's order, Sheng Han walked out from the other end of the bookshelf.
He lowered his head, flipping through the file in his hand, his jawline tense, and the coldness emanating from his body almost froze the air around him.
Shi Qing followed the script and approached cautiously, her voice tentative: "Wei Yan?"
Sheng Han looked up suddenly.
At that moment, Shi Qing's heart skipped a beat.
The script says that Wei Yan's eyes should be filled with hatred, pain, struggle, and an almost crazy possessiveness.
But in Shenghan's eyes, there was pain and struggle, but no hatred.
Deep in those bloodshot eyes, what was surging was not the desire to destroy, but a kind of... almost pleading tenderness and deep affection that was so strong that it could not be dissolved.
He looked at her as if he were looking at a rare treasure that he had lost and found again, so cautiously that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
This is not right!
Shi Qing's heart skipped a beat, but her professionalism as an actress forced her to continue acting.
Sheng Han approached step by step, his tall figure completely covering her, and raised his hand.
Shi Qing's heart was in her throat.
But his hand only gently fell on the bookshelf beside her ear, his fingertips very close to her cheek, the action was restrained and cherished.
He didn't want to imprison her at all, but was using his body to isolate an absolutely safe world for her.
Shi Qing's prepared struggle was instantly stuck in her throat.
How could she make a terrified expression facing a pair of eyes like that?
She couldn't react in any other way except to feel soft-hearted.
"Wei Yan..." She choked up as she recited the lines, "Don't be like this..."
This line should have been the last straw that broke Wei Yan's sanity.
But now, it has become the switch that causes Sheng Han to lose control.
He lowered his head suddenly.
Shi Qing closed her eyes subconsciously.
The expected 'rough, desperate, predatory' kiss did not come.
The touch on her lips was extremely gentle, even with a hint of piety.
His lips were cold and trembling slightly, like a lost child who had found his only home, full of fragility seeking comfort and a desperate attachment.
It's over.
This was the only thought in Shi Qing's mind.
"Card!"
Wang Xing's angry voice exploded from the intercom, carrying with it an electric hissing sound that was particularly harsh.
"Sheng Han! What are you doing?!" On the set, Director Wang Xing was no longer as polite as he was during the script reading.
Sheng Han woke up as if from a dream, stepped back suddenly, and all the color disappeared from his face.
He clenched his fists in frustration. He had worked so hard for so long to get the chance to work side by side with her, but in the end she saw his unprofessional side.
Wang Xing rushed out from behind the monitor, pointing at Sheng Han, and was so angry that he almost threw the intercom: "Wei Yan wants to destroy her right now! He wants to vent, to punish her! What were you doing just now? Huh? It was like a treasure you were afraid of breaking! You are Wei Yan! Not Sheng Han!"
The staff present looked at each other in confusion, wondering why the director's words were so strange.
Wang Xing turned to Shi Qing again, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. "And you! Shi Qing! How was your reaction? Were you scared? Were you terrified? Were you struggling? He approached you so gently, of course you weren't scared! You acted like your sweetheart was confessing his love to you!"
Shi Qing's face flushed red, she felt embarrassed and ashamed, and could only apologize in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Director, I..."
"It's my fault." Sheng Han interrupted, his voice hoarse, "I didn't give her the right emotions."
"Of course it's mainly your fault." Wang Xing said unhappily.
Sheng Han's eyes were filled with pleading: "Director, I'm sorry, let's do it again."
Wang Xing stared at him for a few seconds and waved his hand: "Put on some makeup! Do it again in five minutes! Sheng Han, I tell you, when Wei Yan saw Qi Yue at this moment, he felt a mixture of love and hate, but the hate overwhelmed everything! He wanted to punish himself by hurting her, and he also wanted to see if she was really so pure and flawless! What he wants is destruction, understand? Destruction!" The word "destruction" hit Sheng Han's heart hard.
Let him destroy Shi Qing?
This is worse than killing him.
Five minutes later, filming resumed.
“Action!”
This time, there was a hint of deliberate cruelty in Sheng Han's eyes.
He strode forward, grabbed Shi Qing's wrist, and pressed her hard against the bookshelf.
With a "bang", Shi Qing's back hit the bookshelf. Even with protective gear, she couldn't avoid feeling pain.
The pain triggered a real reaction in her. Physiological tears instantly welled up in her eyes and she looked at him in astonishment.
That’s right!
Wang Xing's eyes lit up behind the monitor.
Sheng Han looked at her red eyes, and his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, hurting so much that he could hardly breathe.
