Chapter 82



The next scene to be filmed is the one where Wen Qiong and Lu Yao are drinking and chatting in the bar.

After repeated questioning by Lu Yao, the slightly tipsy Wen Qiong explained her purpose of coming to Iceland.

He said he came here to escape and to redeem himself.

He avoided the pressure from his parents and money over the years, and redeemed himself with the painting inspiration that had long dried up.

It is said that Iceland is a paradise for artists. Wen Qiong hopes to find his own artistic muse here.

He was once a favored child of heaven, but now he has been hit so hard by reality that even the last bit of self-esteem he had is a stretch. After his family fell into poverty, Wen Qiong fought tenaciously twice, but it seemed as if the world suddenly isolated and abandoned him.

This huge gap blocked Wen Qiong's heart and made him less willing to communicate with the outside world.

Because of this half cup of Long Island Iced Tea, Wen Qiong poured out everything about her tonight to a stranger in a foreign country.

Maybe after sobering up, the other person will tell it to others as a joke.

Forget it, just consider it as using my own story to pay for a drink.

Wen Qiong's confession touched Lu Yao.

Isolated from the world? Abandoned by the world?

Lu Yao thought of his deceased mother. The night before her death, she once said to him with a smile, "Your father abandoned me, now it's my turn to abandon him."

But the other party will never know.

When she left, the person she abandoned was not the scumbag husband who "abandoned his wife and children and cheated on his lover", but her own son who "knew nothing but was forced to know everything".

After Lu's mother passed away, her pregnant lover became the mistress of the Lu family.

She didn't like Lu Yao, and she wanted to seize everything in the Lu family for her child, so she coaxed Lu's father around with just a few soft words.

Lu Yao was sent to a year-round boarding school. Because he had a Chinese face that was "out of place", school bullying and violence became commonplace.

Because he had no parents, Lu Yao had no one to complain to. He could only suppress his feelings and let the depression destroy his inner world.

The second wife, who became Lu's father's legal wife, only gave birth to two daughters.

Then, Lu's father began to accept him again and started to win him over with money, just for the so-called "lineage of incense" of the older generation.

The father and son had no common topics, as if there was only the cold difference between an ATM and the person who withdraws money.

Lu Yao began to spend money and make friends lavishly, but after the hustle and bustle, he had to face even more lonely nights.

Everyone came for his "good temper" and "rich man", and no one cared about his true emotions at all.

The more Lu Yao thought about it, the more pain he felt. He drank glass of liquor after glass, and finally passed out on Wen Qiong.

Before the filming officially started, Ji Li and Qin Li repeatedly reviewed the lines for this scene over a voice call.

So tonight's official shoot went smoothly for the two of them.

Four shots were switched, and each shot was passed smoothly. The hard battle that was originally planned to take four or five hours was shortened to two hours by the two of them.

The natural tacit understanding and harmonious aura made Cameron overjoyed and made him more certain that he had found the right actor this time!

The crew had originally paid for five hours of hotel expenses, but now that they had to finish work early, they couldn't get the rent back.

After some negotiations with the boss, the crew's stage management simply exchanged the remaining rent for wine. This move undoubtedly made the entire crew applaud and cheer.

Ji Li had already drunk during the filming, and after negotiating with director Cameron, he finished work as usual and returned to the hotel. Qin Li and his assistant team also returned at the same time.

The three words "Cameron" are a well-known golden sign in the film and television investment industry.

The crew provided very favorable accommodation conditions, it was a top-notch hotel, and the two leading actors lived face to face.

In the words of director Cameron, you will see them everywhere you look, which makes it easy to develop the emotions of the characters in the script.

Ji Li has always believed in the filming philosophy of "role first" and thinks there is nothing wrong with this arrangement. However, in Yu Fuya's eyes, she feels that one of the leading actors is taking advantage of the opportunity to "use public power for personal gain."

At ten o'clock in the evening, Ji Li had just come out of the bathroom when the doorbell rang.

He opened the door in his bathrobe, only to find Yu Fuya standing outside the room with a bag of food in her hand.

"Sister Yu?"

"Just a light salad. Eat it if you feel hungry. I drank a little during filming tonight, and I'm worried that your stomach will feel uncomfortable." Yu Fuya handed it over and took the opportunity to enter the room and look around.

"Okay." Ji Li lowered his eyes and looked at the food stuffed into his hands, then curled his lips.

Yu Fuya felt relieved when she saw that the room was empty.

Good, the kid didn’t bring the strange man back to the room.

She glanced at Ji Li and greeted him tentatively, "Ji Li, have you seen tomorrow's notice? I sent it to you on my phone."

"Not yet, let's see later." Ji Li put the food on the table beside him. "But if we follow the script, it should be when Wen Qiong takes Lu Yao back to the hotel, right?"

"Well, you and Qin Li will have a kissing scene tomorrow night." Yu Fuya tried to speak in a calm tone.

“…”

Ji Li's hand paused slightly as he untied the food bag.

He had almost forgotten about it.

Ji Li quickly calmed down and said calmly, "Well, we will shoot it as written in the script. It is the actors' responsibility to cooperate with the characters."

Before accepting the script, he was prepared for all the intimate scenes between the two protagonists.

Ji Li added, giving himself a hint, "Besides, Brother Li and I are both grown men, neither of us can stand to suffer any loss."

Can't bear the loss?

I think you've lost a lot!

Yu Fuya took a deep breath and didn't dare to speak out the roar in her heart, "As long as you can accept it, it's good. Since you have accepted this script, you should complete it well."

After all, filming is filming, and it is a very serious matter.

Director Cameron thought it was okay, and Ji Li, as the lead actress, also accepted it well. How could it be her turn as an agent to say "no"?

Yu Fuya glanced and saw that the collar of the young man's bathrobe was slightly loosened. His skin, which had been soaked in hot water, was still white with a hint of tender pink.

Yu Fuya endured it again and again, but still stepped forward and tightened the collar of his bathrobe like an old mother, "Be careful not to catch a cold. Boys have to learn to protect themselves when they go out. Do you understand?"

The most important thing is to avoid being targeted by your neighbors! Don’t let the person next door come in!

The more Yu Fuya thought about it, the more worried she became. She continued, "I'm leaving soon. You have to lock the door for me. Don't open the door unless someone from your own side knocks on the door tomorrow morning."

Ji Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sister Yu, I'm already an adult. Besides, the hotel that the crew has booked is very safe. Have you been treating me like a three-year-old child lately, afraid that I'll get lost when I go abroad?"

It's more than just getting lost?

I'm afraid that you will be kidnapped by someone else.

Yu Fuya forced herself to suppress the complaints in her heart and nodded hurriedly, "Alright, alright, I won't nag you any more. You're tired from filming today, so go to bed early."

"Well, good night, Sister Yu." Ji Li chuckled. Baozi was right. This Sister Yu was about to be upgraded to Mother Yu.

"good evening."

After Yu Fuya left, Ji Li picked up the script.

As always, this time the foreign language script was marked with a lot of marks by him.

Lu Yao fell drunk in Wen Qiong's arms. Under his drunkenness, he went from angry accusations to crying out of grievance, venting all the depression that had been suppressed in his heart for more than ten years.

Wen Qiong roughly understood Lu Yao's past pains from his disorganized words.

He felt a strange pain in his heart and couldn't bear to leave the drunk man in the bar.

Wen Qiong asked about Lu Yao's address for a long time but couldn't get the answer. In desperation, he had to let the other party stay in his small and shabby hotel room.

There is only one bed.

The two inevitably slept together.

The hard bed board was uncomfortable and there was no way to turn over, but even in this situation, Lu Yao actually felt the long-lost warmth and stability.

Perhaps it was the drunken emotions that were at work, Lu Yao just kissed the warmth on his side.

The screenwriter wrote this scene in a very ambiguous and gentle way.

Lu Yao seemed to be the initiator, but in fact he was seeking Wen Qiong's warmth.

There is no so-called kissing technique, it's just that two hearts come closer to each other involuntarily.

A little tempting, and a little pure.

When actors read a script, they always feel very involved in the scene.

Especially after the shooting tonight, Ji Li automatically brought Wen Qiong into Qin Li's face.

His eyes fell on this scene, and his heart unconsciously felt a burning sensation.

Ji Li swallowed his dry throat unconsciously, and when he came to his senses, he was shocked by his own subconscious action.

He was actually thinking about Qin Li's face and his mouth was dry?

Ji Li was so frightened by his own thoughts that he choked and quickly took two sips of warm water in an attempt to calm himself down. But the next second, a WeChat message came in.

——Are you asleep?

It was sent by Qin Li.

Ji Li was hesitating for a moment, then he saw another long message from the other party.

——If you’re not sleepy, do you want to review the script? Lu Yao’s accusation after getting drunk is an emotional outburst point for the character. We’re going to shoot it tomorrow. Can I help you control it?

The reason is ridiculously justifiable.

If I don't agree now, wouldn't it seem like I'm guilty of something?

Just as Ji Li said "OK", the doorbell rang, so fast that it seemed as if someone had been waiting at the door of the room for a long time.

“…”

Ji Li poured the remaining warm water into his mouth and then quickly walked to open the door.

As for Yu Fuya's instructions before she left, he had long forgotten them due to his wild thoughts.

The door opened.

Qin Li changed out of his original attire, and the pure black velvet nightgown made him look even more abstinent.

Ji Li almost couldn't hold it together. He turned around and avoided eye contact with Qin Li, "Brother Li, I'm reading the script."

Qin Li entered and closed the door.

With a click.

The anti-theft chain hanging on the door swayed twice with the force of the door closing, making a slight collision sound.

Ji Li paused, and some strange images uncontrollably popped into his mind.

Qin Li noticed his red ears and neck, and slightly curled his lips, "Why are your ears and neck so red?"

"I just took a shower and was about to read the script." Ji Li rationalized himself and added, "It's hot."

After saying that, he landed on the sofa in the room first.

Qin Li looked around and slowly sat down beside him.

The sofa was not narrow, and there was even a little distance between the two of them, but Ji Li inexplicably felt that he could still feel the other person's aura.

It's so hot that it makes people want to get closer.

Qin Li flipped open the notice he brought with him and said, "It seems there will be a kissing scene tomorrow night. You kiss me."

When he said this, a smile appeared in his eyes.

“…”

Ji Li really couldn't hold it in any longer this time, and his face suddenly turned hot.

What's going on?

He had seen kissing scenes before, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with them when he first read the script.

Why did his emotions fluctuate so much after the scene was changed to film with Qin Li?

Ji Li answered irrelevantly, "Brother Li, aren't you talking about tomorrow's play?"

"What I'm discussing with you now is the content of the script and the notice," Qin Li insisted, moving closer, "Did you ever learn about kissing scenes during your film and television training class?"

Ji Li looked at his smiling face and immediately realized that the other party was deliberately teasing him.

"Qin Li!"

"Well, I'm listening."

Ji Li looked at Qin Li who was so close to him, and his eyes involuntarily moved downwards and caught a glimpse of the other's pale lips.

It seems to be quite suitable for kissing.

Ji Li was frightened by his own thoughts, and quickly picked up the script and flipped through the pages, "Let's act seriously."

Qin Li chuckled and moved closer.

He straightened out Ji Li's messy script and pointed to the correct page, "Be serious, here it is."

“…”

Ji Li was speechless and could only glance at him again.

His eyes were clear and bright, and seemed to reveal a hint of intimate complaint.

Qin Li smiled and distanced the two of them, putting on a serious attitude, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's get started."

He ignored the script and stared at the other person, with a smile on his face from beginning to end.

Ji Li quickly adjusted his mood and entered the character state.

Qin Li naturally wouldn't joke about such things, and he put on a serious look and began to cooperate.

The next night, the crew started filming on time.

This time, the shooting scene moved from inside the bar to the street outside the bar.

Ji Li and Qin Li were both still wearing the same outfit as yesterday, the only difference was that the former had a layer of crimson blush on his face, imitating the state of being drunk.

Everything was quickly adjusted on the scene, and at Cameron's command, the shooting officially began.

The noise in the bar continued.

The door was pushed open and Lu Yao, played by Ji Li, rushed out. He was drunk and dazed, and stumbled on the street.

Qin Li, who followed closely behind, saw this scene, his brows frowned unconsciously, and he hurriedly walked over to pull him up.

Ji Li looked at the back of his hand that was scratched and bleeding, and shook it off indifferently, as if he didn't care about the pain at all.

"Where is your home? I'll take you back."

When Ji Li heard this question, his eyes suddenly froze. He looked at the man beside him viciously and sneered, "Home? I don't have a home."

His mother died long ago, and his father...he only cared about his mistress and his two daughters? How can you care about me?

As Ji Li spoke, his sneer gradually disappeared, and the hatred that had been pent up in his heart rose up and was vented wantonly under the influence of alcohol.

"They are the culprits who killed my mother! They deserve to die!"

He raised his tense jaw and looked directly at the ignorant man in front of him. The bloodshot of hatred almost filled his eyes.

"When I was eight, my mother put me to bed and then died in the next bedroom."

"But less than a week after her death, that scumbag couldn't wait to throw me into boarding school."

Now that the big trouble is gone, he wants to get rid of the small trouble. He is a completely black-hearted person.

"The foreign kids in school are all taller and stronger than me. They seem to poke my head every day..."

Ji Li curled his lips and pointed at Wen Qiong like the bad kids in his memory, but with very gentle force.

“Like now.”

——Look at this orphan!

——They should be locked up in an orphanage and treated as commodities for rich people to choose from.

——It can also be sold to certain places and used as entertainment items.

"It took me ten years to get him to take me home."

Ji Li's steps were a little unsteady, he accidentally bumped into Qin Li's arms, and then walked out drunkenly.

He seemed to remember something and laughed at himself, "I was so naive to think that he had a change of heart and wanted to take me back."

"As it turns out, he just needs a son in name only!"

What precious son? He is just a tool for the other party to show off in front of others!

Ji Li raised his voice, with a hint of gnashing of teeth in his tone.

The cameraman carried the filming equipment and followed the two people. According to the arrangement made during the previous audition, he aimed the camera at Ji Li at this critical juncture.

The next second, the tears that had been accumulating for a long time fell from Ji Li's eyes.

The close-up shot magnified Lu Yao's silent pain.

This tear shed so beautifully.

The onlookers were amazed and couldn't help but want to go forward to hug and care for her.

The filming continues.

Ji Li subconsciously wiped it with the back of his hand, but the salty tears irritated the freshly scratched wound.

He stared at the wound that was still bleeding, and suddenly squatted on the cold ground, covering his face and crying loudly.

Adults collapse in an instant.

Why?

Is the emotional entanglement of the previous generation going to come back to haunt him?

With childhood memories shrouded in the shadow of death and a growth experience kidnapped by school violence, does anyone know how hard it is for him to live the way he is today?

Those grand birthday parties in the past were just for his wine and money.

Is there anyone in this world who still remembers his birthday?

Why has he waited until now and still can’t get a simple happy birthday!

Ji Li’s crying scenes have always been unique.

Even though he was covering his face to try to stop crying, the shaking of his shoulders was very real, and his heart-wrenching cry reached the ears of everyone present, making them feel distressed involuntarily.

Ji Li shows Lu Yao's inner world vividly.

Cameron was very satisfied with Ji Li's interpretation.

He wanted Lu Yao to be just like this, bright and beautiful on the outside, but with festering wounds on the inside. Any small thing could become the fatal point that would bring him down.

Either don’t show your grief, or when you do, make it a tear-jerking weapon.

Wen Qiong, played by Qin Li, lowered her eyes quietly, looking at the young man crying uncontrollably on the ground.

Just like he just told a stranger about his ridiculous experience, now Lu Yao also showed the scars in his heart to this stranger.

Qin Li squatted down, his tone was gentler than he had expected, "I asked the wrong question, where is your hotel? I'll take you back."

That cup of Long Island Iced Tea just now can be considered as a reward for sending him back.

Lu Yao stopped crying and got up from the ground. He stumbled towards the deserted street and said, "I have no home and no place to live."

It sounded like he was drunk and still talking.

They met by chance and parted ways. Such separation is the norm in the world.

But Wen Qiong was soft-hearted. He stared at Lu Yao's back, which was shrouded in loneliness, and quickly stepped forward to hold his arm.

This handshake completely tied the fate of the two people together.

"Come with me."

This scene was only repeated three times and close-up shots were taken before it was considered a success.

The crew seized the time and moved to the next shooting location as quickly as possible. It took everyone less than an hour to complete the preliminary preparations.

The efficiency is terrifyingly high.

Wen Qiong brought the half-drunk and half-asleep Lu Yao into the house, took off his coat that was in the way, and let him go to bed to rest... These simple transition shots went very smoothly.

But what was unexpected was that Ji Li, who always performed smoothly, suddenly got stuck during the kissing scene.

In fact, Ji Li's mood has been tense since the beginning of the transition.

Yes, he was nervous for no reason.

Before the official filming began, Ji Li and Qin Li simply rehearsed the scene twice, but neither of them found the character feeling that Cameron wanted.

Cameron seems easy to talk to, but he is actually very strict with his standards for acting.

However, he did not directly blame Ji Li for the failure, but asked someone to bring a bottle of liquor and handed it to him.

"Drink some wine and get a feel for it. You must remember, from now on, there is no Qin and Ji, only Wen Qiong and Lu Yao."

In his directorial philosophy, this is called "fighting poison with poison."

The first thing about acting is to be consistent with the character's own state, and it is okay to occasionally borrow external forces.

Since the character Lu Yao only developed ambiguous feelings when he was drunk, Ji Li, as the interpreter, might as well give it a try.

Ji Li didn't want to delay the progress of the entire crew, so he quickly agreed to Cameron's proposal.

The liquor went down his throat.

The first thing that arises is the heat.

Ji Li subconsciously looked for Qin Li, who was acting with him, and found that the other person walked up to him and looked at him quietly with his eyes lowered.

The man's eyes were deep, like a bottomless whirlpool, as if they could absorb all his messy thoughts.

"Ji Li, do you believe me?" Qin Li's question sounded familiar.

Before Song Zhao finished filming the scene, he had asked Qin Li this question himself.

At this moment, Ji Li suddenly felt relieved.

The person acting with him is Qin Li, not any other young actor in the past. Qin Li has enough ability to bring him into that situation.

Emotions are never one-sided. An excellent actor must not only rely on himself, but also learn to rely on his co-star.

Of course I believe you.

Ji Li agreed in his heart. He was slightly drunk, so he stood up and said to the director and others, "I'm ready. Let's start shooting."

Cameron no longer saw the tension in his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

He immediately ordered everyone on the scene to prepare for the official filming, and three minutes later, they entered the shooting mode.

There was a damp and moldy smell in the small rental house.

This is the cheapest hotel Wen Qiong could find. The owner is an old man living alone, and the so-called hotel room is actually his own small attic.

A normal person's regular expenses in a bar for one night can be equivalent to the cost of four or five nights of accommodation here.

Ji Li turned over in a half-asleep and half-awake state, but was suddenly awakened by the brief feeling of being in mid-air. Fortunately, someone pulled his arm in time, preventing him from having close contact with the floor.

Ji Li subconsciously turned inward, and ended up seeing a familiar handsome face. He blinked dazedly, and most of the drunkenness disappeared from his eyes.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time before Lu Yao, played by Ji Li, understood his situation.

"Is this where you live? So bad?" He muttered softly. His cold-fearing body longed for warmth and he unconsciously shrank to the middle.

The attic heater didn't work.

With such a low accommodation price, the boss was naturally unwilling to hire someone to repair it.

The two of them were so close that they seemed to be able to smell each other's scent.

It has a light, soothing smell, like the scent of cedar that can only be smelled under the scorching sun.

Wen Qiong, played by Qin Li, did not retreat, otherwise, he would have been the next person to fall to the ground.

"Young Master, if you are not used to living here, you can go back to your hotel." Wen Qiong lowered her head and looked at the other person's eyes, which were still red.

"It's just that there's someone crying on the side of the road like a puppy that can't find its home, and I just feel sorry for him."

Lu Yao knows his drinking habits.

Even when he was drunk, he would not lose his memory.

He listened to the man's seemingly indifferent words, and his originally empty heart suddenly felt a little heavy. "It seems that I made the right offer for that glass of wine."

That's pretty good.

He didn't have to spend another birthday in his long life in a huge and cold hotel suite.

Wen Qiong saw the childish smile on the corner of his mouth, stopped talking and closed her eyes.

The shabby clock on the wall was still turning stubbornly.

Da-da-da-da

As if he had anticipated the last second, he opened his thin lips and said, "Happy birthday."

These four simple words came down heavily.

A thin mist flashed across the eyes of Lu Yao, played by Ji Li.

In the past ten years, he had never had a moment like this when he was greedy for the warmth given by a stranger.

Ji Li tentatively hooked the other person's little finger, as if afraid that the other person would leave.

Qin Li felt the cautious touch and slowly opened his eyes.

There was no disgust, no resistance, and even a hint of smile.

Her thin lips are slightly pursed, tempting people to try it.

Under the dim light of the room, some ambiguous factors quietly came.

Ji Li suddenly became bolder. He slowly moved forward and gently rubbed the other's tall nose. Their intertwined breathing happened at once, making people feel itchy.

Their soft lips pressed against each other, with a hint of alcohol in them.

Ji Li opened her lips slightly, held the man's lower lip, and sucked it twice tentatively.

His palms were still sweating from nervousness, but the next second the man held them with his backhand. The silent affirmation was like a catalyst for "desire".

Ji Li closed her eyes and nibbled the man's thin lips even harder.

A hint of sweetness lingers in the air, but I don't know who it belongs to.

In the close-up shot, Ji Li's slender eyelashes trembled involuntarily, betraying his inner nervousness.

But it happened to be exactly what Cameron wanted.

This was the first time that Lu Yao truly wanted to influence someone. He didn't want to and wouldn't use those fancy tricks to please someone.

What he wanted was to arouse the other party's desire for him by relying on the most primitive instinct.

The essence of this kiss is the purest and softest.

Ji Li rubbed it hard for a while, then withdrew with a light breath. He looked at Qin Li's lips which had warmed up, and admired his own work with some excitement.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, his lips, which were so red that they looked like they could bleed, were the weapon that could tempt people to commit crimes.

Wen Qiong, played by Qin Li, opened his eyes, and the dark storm in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. He looked into the deer-like happy eyes of the person in his arms and chuckled imperceptibly.

The next second, he grabbed the back of the other person's head and kissed her cleanly.

And this is the beginning of desire.

It was no longer a brief taste like before, but a passionate intertwining of lips and teeth.

The two hugged each other, seeking each other's warmth.

The drunkenness was spreading under the heat, and Ji Li felt his brain went blank. He could only let Qin Li guide the filming of this scene.

The blushing and heart-pounding breathing sound was heard, causing all the staff on the scene to hold their breath.

The picture is clean and beautiful, without even a hint of explicitness, but the alluring atmosphere in the space is only increasing.

Lan Linta, one of the coordinators, was so excited that she almost felt like she couldn't breathe.

Just a kissing scene!

How on earth did they make everyone around them lack oxygen?
