Chapter 62: Walking
The props team decorated the wedding room beautifully.
All you see is the festive vermilion color and the word "囍" (囍) on the walls.
A pair of red candles with dragon and phoenix patterns were placed on the wooden table in the middle, and the warm golden light softly illuminated the surroundings.
The air is filled with the faint scent of sandalwood and sweet fruits.
Director Wang Xing walked in first, called Sheng Han and Shi Qing to the bedside, and personally explained to them the core of the scene.
"This scene is an important turning point in the relationship between Wei Yan and Qi Yue."
Wang Xing analyzed the plot with the two of them in a serious manner.
"Wei Yan's heart was conflicted, with hatred and love tearing at each other. He wanted to push her away, but at the same time, he instinctively longed for her."
"And Qi Yue, with her girlish longing and desperate courage, wants to use her love to melt the ice in Wei Yan's heart. Therefore, the emotional progression later on must have a sense of hierarchy."
Shi Qing and Sheng Han listened attentively, their eyes meeting briefly in the air.
"A rehearsal?" Sheng Han asked silently with his lips.
Shi Qing nodded imperceptibly.
This time, it really needs to be right.
The emotions of this scene are extremely complex.
Qi Yue, filled with love and expectation for Wei Yan, sat beside the wedding bed, waiting for her lover to lift her veil.
As for Wei Yan, after entering the door, he had to show emotions of struggle and alienation, as well as the uncontrollable emotion after seeing his beloved.
The matchmaker and the maids had no idea that the couple was not in harmony with each other, and they were still smiling and saying auspicious words.
Wei Yan waved everyone away.
In the huge bridal chamber, only he and Qi Yue, who was covered with a red veil, were left.
He should have turned away, or said something cold, but his eyes were uncontrollably glued to the slender figure beside the bed.
She sat upright, her hands hidden under her sleeves tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, and the subtle movements revealed her nervousness and anticipation.
Wei Yan's heart ached a little.
In the end, he picked up the wedding scale.
She walked slowly forward and lifted the red veil with stiff movements.
Under the red veil, there was a face stained slightly red with shyness and love.
Her clear eyes, as if filled with broken stars, looked at him with joy.
Wei Yan's heart skipped a beat and his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably.
"Brother Yan." Qi Yue called softly.
This sound scratched Wei Yan's heart like a feather.
He looked away almost hastily.
Putting on his usual disguise, his voice was deliberately cold: "We are just a deal, so let's skip the wedding wine."
Qi Yue's smile froze on her face, and the light in her eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly obscured by water vapor.
"You...what do you mean?" He doesn't even want to pretend?
Wei Yan looked at her tearful expression and felt so distressed as if being grasped by an invisible hand.
He didn't dare to look anymore and turned around to escape.
“Don’t go!”
Qi Yue suddenly stood up and grabbed his arm tightly from behind.
Next comes the most difficult part of the scene.
With Qi Yue's strength, she naturally couldn't stop Wei Yan who wanted to leave.
But the script required that Wei Yan give up all resistance the moment she pulled him, allowing himself to be pulled by the weak force and stagger, falling onto the wedding bed, right on top of her.
This action is meant to show Wei Yan's inner reluctance and obedience.
However, after trying several times, the results were always unsatisfactory.
Either Shi Qing was using too much force, which seemed unreasonable.
Or maybe Sheng Han's fall was too deliberate, losing that involuntary sense of reality.
After failing again, Shi Qing lay down on the soft quilt somewhat discouraged.
Sheng Han placed his hands on either side of her body, enveloping her in his presence.
He looked down at her, his eyes deep, but there was a subtle hint of jealousy in his tone: "What? Teacher Shi and I don't want to work together a few more times? I remember that in the previous play with Teacher Xu, this kind of intimate interaction was handled very well."
He lowered his voice so that only Shi Qing could hear him.
Shi Qing was stunned when she heard this, and then her eyes, which were a little confused due to fatigue, became clear.
She remembered that after joining the crew, Xu Hui had complained to her worriedly several times. He always felt that Teacher Sheng looked at him with a knife in his eyes, which made him frightened every day, fearing that he would offend him and be kicked out of the crew.
So here lies the root cause.
It seems that this movie star is jealous.
Shi Qing laughed, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.
She also lowered her voice, leaned close to his ear, and exhaled softly, "Teacher Sheng, you really wronged Teacher Xu."
"Teacher Xu is a well-known henpecked husband in the industry. He loves his wife dearly. In our drama, all the intimate scenes beyond hugging were performed with a body double by Mrs. Xu."
Sheng Han's dark eyes suddenly widened: "...Really?"
"Of course." Shi Qing looked at him like this and felt both angry and amused.
Thinking that he seemed to have a subtle attitude towards Teacher Yao Shun, for the sake of harmony in the crew, she simply gave up and revealed her past.
She reached out and patted Sheng Han's shoulder in a mature manner.
He said earnestly, "So, Mr. Sheng, it's not just Mr. Xu's film. Counting it all... 'Yue Yan' is my first time filming an intimate scene in the true sense."
The moment the words fell, Sheng Han completely froze.
In those deep eyes, there was shock at first, and then they were swept by a storm of ecstasy.
He even forgot that he was still supporting his body. He suddenly let go of the support and pressed down firmly, hugging Shi Qing tightly under him.
"Hmm!" Shi Qing groaned when he bumped into her.
The refreshing aura from him instantly enveloped her.
Sheng Han buried his face in her neck, his breath hot.
He knew that he was a little petty, and in the entertainment industry, filming intimate scenes was inevitable.
But reason is one thing, and emotion is another.
He was just petty and jealous of her being so close to another man in front of the camera, even if it was just acting.
But if I express this emotion, I'm afraid she'll think I'm unprofessional and don't know how to behave.
After all, he has the capital to refuse any scene he doesn't want to shoot, but she didn't have that in the past.
Now she told him that this was her first time.
All the bitterness in his heart was instantly removed, leaving only unspeakable joy.
"Cough..." Shi Qing was almost out of breath as he held her so tightly.
“So many people are watching!”
Although the environment was noisy and their voices were low, most of the staff were busy with their own things and didn't pay attention, but this is a film set after all!!!
Sheng Han finally woke up from his dream, but still couldn't bear to let go.
Director Wang Xing looked at their actions and thought they were acting together, so he didn't think much about it.
He shouted, "How's it going? Are you feeling it? Let's get ready to start filming!"
