Chapter 023
Yan Xun quietly waited for him to digest his emotions, but this process didn't take much time. When he raised his head again, Xu Jingning had regained his heartless expression. "So, Teacher Yan, where do we start our practice?"
Yan Xun smiled and said, "Where do you want to start?"
Xu Jingning lowered his head and thought for a while. There must be a reason why Yan Xun asked him to come alone instead of the other two girls in the same group, so he asked tentatively: "Imitation clip?"
Yan Xun nodded with satisfaction: "You actually always knew where your shortcomings were."
"You are not a professional actor, and your acting skills are developed step by step by imitating others. But you are also very smart, and you can transform what you have learned into techniques that you can use. The imitation is not deep, which makes people feel that your acting skills are very spiritual."
But imitation is still imitation, and it is still very obvious to Yan Xun.
The performance is lively and spiritual. This has always been the public's evaluation of Xu Jingning's acting skills. It is a compliment, but that's all.
Because it is just a spirit, not yet refined enough.
"You are undoubtedly talented in acting, but you don't seem like someone who is content with the status quo, nor are you lazy and unwilling to work hard, so I am very curious..."
Xu Jingning's acting skills fluctuate, changing with the environment. If the overall level of the crew is not high, his performance will be just passing. Only when the actors in the same group are very serious, will he curl up and hone his skills.
She's just like the student bitch who controlled her exam scores during her school days.
But Yan Xun did not intend to get an answer when he raised this point. He just nodded slightly and looked at Xu Jingning expectantly: "Pick the clips you like, and perform at your best. Let me see your potential."
Xu Jingning took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and many scenes from the movie flashed through his mind.
When he opened his eyes again, his expression had slowly changed into that of a resolute diplomat in the movie who was full of faith and would never yield.
The segment performed by Xu Jingning is one of the climaxes of the film and also the highlight of the character of Yan Xun. The students who were marching together were captured by the rebels, and the prospective diplomat who had not yet graduated made an impassioned speech on the execution ground, using his death to inspire the people to rise up in resistance.
In the original film, Yan Xun's performance focused on the painful despair at the people's numb reaction when he was ready to die, and he acted crazy and angry until his death caused a little ripple.
After all, Yan Xun's interpretation of the character back then was that of a student who had just walked out of an ivory tower. He was full of faith, but his hopes were shattered time and time again by the people he wanted to save, which made him so crazy that he was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
And the way Xu Jingning acted this time... He didn't look like he was about to be executed, he looked like he was here to rob the execution ground...
Xu Jingning's facial features are much more youthful than Yan Xun's. He made good use of his facial features and slightly changed the character's image.
His young diplomat never regretted anything even at the last moment, and walked towards death with dignity. Even his oath before death was so passionate and exciting.
That's his technique.
And Yan Xun had to admit that he was attracted to Xu Jingning like this.
After the last line was spoken, Yan Xun almost subconsciously made a move and held Xu Jingning's hand that was pretending to commit suicide.
Yan Xun spoke in a hoarse voice: "He shouldn't die."
But his eyes were fixed on Xu Jingning's face.
Xu Jingning looked at the wrist where Yan Xun had made the move, veins popping up, and it was hard for him to calm down. The two of them just stood there in a stalemate, neither of them moving. Suddenly, Xu Jingning raised his eyes and asked out of nowhere, "Yan Xun, do you want to have a CP with me?"
Yan Xun just looked at him without answering.
After a long while, it seemed that both of them had regained their sanity. Yan Xun retracted his action and retreated to a safe distance: "Do you need to rest for a while?"
"Is this what the production team meant?" Xu Jingning didn't let him escape the question. She looked at him motionlessly with a firm gaze, "I guess you are willing."
At this stage, the composition of Yan Xun's fans is very confusing.
He is not yet thirty years old and is in the prime of his life. His young and handsome face constantly attracts fans of different ages. In addition, his overly positive image for a long time, his personal charm and acting skills make his fan base extremely complex. But no matter which part of the fans they are, they are all very impressive when taken individually.
He has been in the industry for 20 years and has won countless awards and achievements. At his level, he has a high status in the circle, so much so that "Yan Xun fans" has become a compliment. But correspondingly, any slight disturbance will cause considerable turmoil.
The reason why the CP fans online dared to make such a big fuss was because Yan Xun indulged them and no one really believed that there was something going on between them.
Most people think that Teacher Yan appreciates the younger generation and favors Xu Jingning's talent.
So the program team was really brave to have this idea.
Commercial CP is of no benefit to Yan Xun, and all the attention goes to Xu Jingning and the show.
He didn’t have to make such a huge sacrifice to get to where he is today.
But strangely, Yan Xun was willing to do so.
Does he think that the emotional feedback he gets for "caring for young talents" is worth the sacrifices he has made?
After a long silence, Xu Jingning urged, "Or maybe you actually have other intentions?"
Having said that, Yan Xun could only sigh slightly: "Yes."
"The production team has this intention. I have no objection and will fully cooperate."
As he spoke, Yan Xun's gaze fell back on Xu Jingning: "So what is your wish?"
"Xu Jingning, are you willing to be my partner?"
In fact, when Xu Jingning thought about this matter, he had some concerns.
Intellectually, he hoped to hear a negative answer, but emotionally, he was inexplicably slightly happy because of Yan Xun's "no objection".
After all, this is Yan Xun! To be in a relationship with Yan Xun is something that most people would not even dare to think about.
Not to mention that he is just a small-time actor on the 18th line.
But Xu Jingning pursed her lips and spoke as if she couldn't control herself: "Yes."
He seemed to have always been like this. His usual rationality inexplicably dropped in front of Yan Xun, and he even found it difficult to say no.
I didn't even think much about what CP hype represents.
After this sentence, Xu Jingning didn't even remember what happened. It was not until they separated in a daze and calmed down that Xu Jingning realized that he had come to the bathroom.
It seemed like he found an excuse and left in a hurry.
Because the atmosphere was somewhat out of control, Yan Xun gave him some space to calm down.
"Tongtong, what do you think Yan Xun is thinking about?" Xu Jingning washed her face with cold water, her mind somewhat empty, "I always feel something is wrong subconsciously."
"I've told you long ago that he has bad intentions towards you!" After receiving the order, 2874 jumped out anxiously, "Ningning, let's go quickly. I really feel that if you don't leave now, you will most likely be imprisoned in Yan Xunguan's small dark room!"
Xu Jingning: “?”
Xu Jingning: "Did you go to some fan fiction website and steal data again?"
2874 fell silent instantly and prepared to escape in panic, but before he could do so, Xu Jingning caught him and searched him.
As soon as I opened the database, I found that the latest information was all fan creations.
After quickly browsing through it, Xu Jingning's eyes jumped when he saw the title clearly stating the various settings that would not pass the review, such as "imprisonment" and "outside the human world".
He sneered, "2874, do you know why I asked you to store your energy last time?"
The host called me by my real name, and my tone was wrong. This little system is in big trouble.
"W-why?"
"Since you've worked so hard, I wanted to fulfill your wish and upgrade you to a physical plastic form."
"But I feel like you seem to be quite content with your current situation? You even have enough free time to read fan fiction."
2874: "!!! Ning Ning, I was wrong!!!"
Xu Jingning smiled: "It's too late."
Amidst 2874's wailing, Xu Jingning forced it to shut down, and the surroundings finally became quiet.
He exhaled lightly and looked up at himself in the mirror.
Well, very good, he is still the Xu Jingning who has everything under control.
When they returned to the living room, they continued watching movies and practicing their acting skills as if nothing had happened.
From a professional perspective, Yan Xun is indeed an excellent senior, and his guidance is not only gentle but also efficient.
The day ended with great rewards. When Xu Jingning returned home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
After being busy for so long, I just lay down on the bed when I received the itinerary sent by Xu Xingcheng.
Seeing that the originally empty schedule was filled with various activities, Xu Jingning felt a little tired and called pitifully: "I remember that there was no schedule originally? How come there are so many activities suddenly? You also signed two endorsements for me?"
"It's not signed yet. I know your temper. The contract is on the coffee table in the living room. Take a look at it yourself. I think you will like it."
"Some of the activities are for supporting actors. You have to go since you are so popular now. Some of them are contracts signed by the company for you." Xu Xingcheng smirked. "Because I see that you are very relaxed from now on, it is understandable that you have to increase your workload a little bit, right?"
Xu Jingning: “…”
There are still three days until the next performance, which seems to be quite leisurely at first glance.
But that was what Xu Jingning was going to use to stay at home and maintain his health.
They say it was signed by a company, but it's obvious that they are relying on their bloodline to suppress and exploit him.
This vicious woman!
Xu Jingning had an idea, and with the idea of tit-for-tat, he said calmly, "Yeah, I'm really busy in the future. Sister, you should also make some plans and build up relationships with the public relations department."
Xu Xingcheng was alert instantly: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm not doing anything. Isn't this working hard as you said?" Xu Jingning said innocently, "I just came to remind you that I met Yan Xun today and decided to hype up the couple."
