Chapter 068
After dinner that day, everyone returned to their rooms, and Xu Jingning ran into Yan Xun who was blocking the door again.
Although they were together during the reading, they were all busy with their own work and had no time to do anything else. Until now, when Xu Jingning's hand in his pocket felt something square, he suddenly remembered that he had not returned the room card.
Xu Jingning pinched the housing card and took it out: "I'll give it back to you."
Yan Xun was slightly stunned: "I didn't come here for this."
Xu Jingning pursed her lips and asked in disbelief, "So, do you still want to rely on me today?"
He had not forgotten what went wrong last night, and even if he had a hundred guts, he would not want to stay in the same room with Yan Xun again.
Probably because they thought of going together, Yan Xun apologized in a humiliated manner: "I was impulsive."
"sorry."
"I did something wrong. I should have apologized to you a long time ago."
Xu Jingning played dumb: "Which time? Was it because he told me before that he was being nice to me on purpose for no reason, or was it because he wanted to talk about what happened last night?"
Yan Xun was slightly startled as he did not expect him to bring this up. He then said seriously, "Neither of them is right. I should apologize twice."
But Xu Jingning did not accept the apology immediately. The two just stood face to face, glaring at each other.
After a while, Xu Jingning suddenly asked: "Yan Xun, do you like me?"
Yan Xun said without hesitation: "I like it."
Unexpectedly, Xu Jingning smiled, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "You have said too many things through other characters. You have a criminal record. I can't believe you."
"How do I know whether it was Teacher Duan who said this to Lin Cong or Yan Xun who said this to Xu Jingning?"
Yan Xun's face turned pale for a moment.
He could actually explain it, but for some reason, he couldn't say a word at this moment.
It just feels... inappropriate.
Xu Jingning raised her head and stared into his eyes: "Yan Xun, you were the one who initially thought that it was difficult for me to get into the role and that I was not a 'good student', but you are not much better either."
“Have you ever been in a play?”
The person on the other side did not respond for a long time. Xu Jingning felt a little disappointed. He turned sideways and prepared to enter the room, but his arm was grabbed before he closed the door.
Yan Xun moved his lips and spoke with difficulty: "In your opinion, what kind of person is Yan Xun?"
Xu Jingning said calmly: "Wait until you realize that you have made a mistake."
The next day, Director Fang suddenly notified us to focus on filming the bar scene, so we all went to the city to shoot.
Not long after getting up in the morning, Xiao Zhao came over with breakfast: "Good morning, Ningning."
Xu Jingning had just finished reading the revised script and looked up at him with a smile: "Good morning."
"Ningning, what are you going to eat today?" Xiao Zhao put breakfast on the table and let Xu Jingning choose.
"Whatever. Didn't we have it yesterday morning? It's all the same..." Xu Jingning walked to the table and looked at the row of exquisite breakfasts in front of him, speechless for a moment.
It was then that he noticed that Xiao Zhao's movements were a little... nervous.
Xu Jingning lowered his head and took out a pig-shaped bun: "Where did you buy breakfast so early in the morning?"
"Uh, that... Teacher Yan treated the whole group to breakfast, but I don't know where they bought it."
After taking a bite, Xu Jingning felt relieved.
I guess he hired someone specially and borrowed the kitchen from the restaurant next door.
It tastes exactly the same as before.
Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?
Although he was complaining in his heart, the smile that couldn't be hidden still flowed from his eyes.
When they gathered in the hotel lobby, he saw Yan Xun glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Xu Jingning simply walked up to him and said, "Thank you."
Yan Xun was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was talking about breakfast: "No, please everyone in the group."
"Really? Then Mr. Yan, remember to keep an eye on your wallet. There's no need to spend so much money." Xu Jingning exposed him mercilessly, "I'm not that picky, and I can't be coaxed into submission by a few breakfasts."
Yan Xun smiled helplessly: "I'm not trying to coax you."
I just want to be nice to you.
It's not from any perspective, I just want to be good to you.
Unfortunately, Fang Shu interrupted before he could even start talking: "Let's go, there's a lot to shoot today!"
There was no choice, Yan Xun had to stop talking, and the two of them walked towards the convoy together.
There are three bar scenes in the whole film. One is the first meeting between the two protagonists Duan Chengliang and Lin Cong, one is where the teacher goes to the bar to catch a student who skips class, and the other is a scene outside the bar where the teacher is accidentally involved in a fight between local thugs and Duan Chengliang comes to rescue Lin Cong.
The last two scenes were relatively easy to shoot. After all, the melee did not require Lin Cong's participation. It was just a matter of shooting a few chaotic scenes. Yan Xun had shot many similar scenes before, and at the very least, a stand-in had already been prepared. Basically, two or three takes were enough.
It happened to be their first encounter, and Fang Shu was not satisfied even after taking many photos.
The plot of the first encounter scene is that Duan Chengliang came to this small town for the first time and fell in love with Lin Cong in the bar. Lin Cong took the initiative to strike up a conversation and asked her out, but the intense movement when they were kissing knocked over Lin Cong's bag. When Duan Chengliang saw the student ID card fall out, he sobered up instantly. Although he was an adult, his professional ethics still made him stop in time.
Yan Xun rarely filmed intimate scenes with others, but no one expected that such a two-second flashback in memory would be stuck in emotion for a long time. After the fourth cut, Fang Shu called a halt with a dark face and asked the people to talk aside.
There was no one around, so Fang Shu started to curse: "What's wrong with you?"
"Yan Xun, in all the time I've known you, this is the first time I feel that your acting skills are really bad."
"Can you get into the mood? You are facing a stranger. Can't you tell the difference between sex and love?!"
While performing, Yan Xun knew that something was wrong with his condition. Even though he adjusted himself repeatedly, he would always lose his concentration the moment he saw Xu Jingning.
When he was hugged by the neck, he seemed to hear Xu Jingning say in his ear: "Yan Xun, you can't get out of the play."
Yan Xun came back to his senses, with a calm expression on his face: "I will try to adjust it and try two more times."
As soon as he said this, Fang Shu knew that he was not confident, otherwise he would guarantee that he would "definitely pass".
Furious, Fang Shu said angrily, "What are you trying for? You paid for the waste film! Go and have a rest!"
The original plan was to finish the filming at nine o'clock in the evening, but now it's only a little after seven o'clock and the filming has suddenly stopped. If Yan Xun can't recover quickly, he will have to come again tomorrow.
Every extra day of shooting means an extra day of spending money.
After hearing Fang Shu's arrangement, Xu Jingning did not follow the makeup artist's instructions to touch up her makeup, but went straight to the lounge.
The entire bar was booked by the crew, and the lounges were all ready-made private rooms. The place was not big, but it matched the private and charming atmosphere in the script very well.
When Xu Jingning pushed the door open, Yan Xun was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed.
"Handsome guy, are you awake?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Xun opened his eyes and saw Xu Jingning approaching with a smirk on his face.
He held a bottle of wine in his hand, walked forward calmly, and sat astride Yan Xun's legs.
Yan Xun subconsciously put his arms around his waist, and suddenly realized that this was the action during the filming.
Xu Jingning tilted her head back and took a sip, then she put her arms around Yan Xun's neck and kissed him without giving him any time to react.
The liquid entered the mouth while the two lips were touching. The sweet taste did not feel like wine, but more like the thirst-quenching sweet drink distributed by the logistics department.
But intoxicating enough.
The hugging position made both of them feel a little unstable, and after kissing for a while, Yan Xun quickly took back control, holding the waist with both hands firmly and firmly, not giving anyone the slightest chance to separate.
Perhaps this action hurt Xu Jingning, so he grabbed Yan Xun's tie in retaliation, pulled him towards himself, and continued to deepen the kiss.
Both of them were somewhat emotional, and even during the brief intervals of separation, their bodies were still touching and rubbing against each other.
Yan Xun felt that he couldn't bear it anymore.
Too proactive. Xu Jingning was surprisingly proactive today.
During this period, Yan Xun suppressed his reasoning, thinking that he should stop at the right time, but he was provoked by a few words with obvious intentions, which further stimulated him to tame the person.
"You can't?"
"Be more aggressive, let me...see what you can do."
As his rationality collapsed, even Xu Jingning's slight retreat became a source of stimulation. Yan Xun put one arm around his waist and began to move the other hand upwards, eventually strangling his neck.
But at this moment, the person who was teasing just now suddenly struggled, and the two struggled, and the half-peeled coat was completely thrown to the ground.
The sound of metal hitting the ground interrupted the intimacy between the two. Yan Xun looked over and saw a student ID card entangled with keys.
He woke up almost instantly.
Finally, Yan Xun bit the corner of Xu Jingning's lips helplessly, and then let her go.
Seeing that he understood what she meant, Xu Jingning curled her lips and said, "Teacher Yan, isn't this a good actor?"
Not only Fang Shu, but Xu Jingning also saw the problem with Yan Xun.
But compared to Director Fang, he knows a little more.
After all, it has something to do with him.
I was clearly saying this morning that I couldn't get out of the role, but now I can't get into it.
It is actually easy to solve this problem. After all, we only need to capture one or two scenes. If Yan Xun is unable to perform the appearance of pure desire, then it is enough as long as the desire he expresses can cover up the others.
Xu Jingning came here not only for today's scene, but also to correct Yan Xun's wrong idea.
"I'm not asking you to be out of character all the time. At least now I'm Lin Cong and you're Duan Chengliang, so do what Teacher Duan would do." Xu Jingning picked up the fancy leather jacket from the ground and tilted his head towards Yan Xun, "You should understand this, right?"
Otherwise, if Director Fang knew what he had done, he would definitely be scolded.
Yan Xun certainly knew this. If he didn't know the priorities of some things, he would have lived in vain for so many years.
It was because my mind was a little distracted today that I failed to control myself.
But that didn't stop him from playing dumb by taking her words out of context: "I see, so I can do whatever I want to you now?"
Xu Jingning: “…”
That's not what I meant.
Yan Xun pressed the issue further: "It was Lin Cong who took the initiative to invite Duan Chengliang."
Seeing Xu Jingning pursed her lips tightly and was about to explode, he changed his words: "Sorry, I said the wrong thing. We'll be done soon. Just think of it as saving Director Fang a day's money. Help me find the feeling and try to finish recording this segment tonight."
Excuses, all excuses.
But Xu Jingning found that he had no way to refuse.
Never mind, just consider it as making up for my mistake.
With a sigh, Xu Jingning walked back resignedly: "Just once, seize the opportunity yourself."
