Chapter 018
The day before the performance, Yan Xun gave the team members a day off so that they could have a good rest. So, taking advantage of the free day, Xu Jingning sneaked into the weekend group to observe their rehearsal progress.
In the last two days, the director team had arranged for someone to rush out the costumes needed by each group. It was indeed different to put on the costumes and perform, and it was easier to get into the role. It was not until the end of a rehearsal and they came down to rest that Xiang Yuan realized that Xu Jingning had been sitting in the rehearsal room for who knows how long.
He panicked, remembering that he was still wearing a skirt, and subconsciously covered his chest: "Damn it! When did you come, Xu Jingning!"
"Hey, your dad is here," Xu Jingning patted the empty seat beside him cheerfully, "I didn't expect you to look so good in a lady's dress."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? It has nothing to do with me, it's all because of this sticky makeup." Xiang Yuan was still angry as she hadn't removed her makeup yet, but she was afraid that it would get rubbed on her face. "It's also because Sister Zhou Zhou was unlucky to have drawn a script with only girls..."
Weekend Mo, who was not far ahead, shouted, "Xiang Yuan! I can hear everything you say!"
Xiang Yuan's voice immediately dropped several degrees.
"But thanks to your idea, we revised the script according to your suggestion. Now that he's gone, it's actually more beneficial to our performance."
Xu Jingning smiled and said, "I was also inspired by Director Chen. If I have to thank someone, I should thank your director. After all, she is the one who actually wrote the story."
Xiang Yuan's group's theme is Hanfu making technology, which tells stories related to the royal clothing making technology. The director of their group is a young woman who likes to shoot women's dramas. According to the original arrangement, there is a role of a woman disguised as a man in the script, which could have been played by Xiang Yuan, the only male. However, when Fu Shulan got into trouble, there was an extra role that they didn't know how to arrange. At Xu Jingning's reminder, their group's script was adapted, and the role of a woman disguised as a man was changed to a man, and the vacant role was set as a man disguised as a woman. In fact, it is the same person, both played by Xiang Yuan.
Netizens were spreading the rumor that Xiang Yuan was playing a female role in a cross-dressing role because Weekend Moo jokingly mentioned during an interview that he looked forward to seeing Xiang Yuan wearing a ruqun.
"Thank goodness Fu Shulan always finds excuses not to come to rehearsal, so we have enough time to prepare the new script. Don't worry, the performance will definitely open your eyes!"
Seeing that the other people in their group were in high spirits, Xu Jingning smiled and felt relieved.
The official performance started at 2pm the next day, and the guests had half a day to familiarize themselves with the venue.
Standing in the small house in the bamboo forest, looking at this scene that existed only in his imagination but was seen with his own eyes for the first time, Xu Jingning was in a trance for a moment, as if he had really become one with this character.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I just want to sigh. It's a pity that I didn't come to see it last time..."
Xu Jingning turned towards the source of the voice, and was dazzled by Yan Xun's slow walk towards her, so much so that she forgot to speak.
At this time, Yan Xun had just changed into his stage costume, with one hand behind his back and the other at his waist. There were a few strands of white hair in his temples, but it did not affect the jade-like and pure aura that emanated from him.
Xu Jingning turned around, stunned for a moment, and subconsciously called out "Master".
"Oh my, has the master bewitched little brother?" Chu Xinrou, who was also wearing makeup, came over from the other side. Maybe it was because of the role, but her smile was three points deeper than usual. Just looking at her was very contagious, making people couldn't help but curl their eyes.
Xu Jingning blushed a little: "Senior Sister, you are teasing me again!"
Yan Xun chuckled, looked up and saw Chen Zi also ready and walking hurriedly, so he raised his hand to signal, and Chen Shibin saw that the four of them were well prepared, nodded, and announced the start of rehearsal.
The right scene makes it easier for actors to immerse themselves in the plot. Although there were props to help confirm the positioning before, it was not until they actually came to the real scene that they had this indescribable feeling.
The story, which I had read countless times, became real at this moment.
Despite their sighs, the three students did not relax at all and put 100% of their energy into the rehearsal. The first two rehearsals went smoothly and Director Chen did not call cut, but at the beginning of the third rehearsal, Chen Shibin suddenly said to the four people with a serious face: "Walk around first, take a look at the scenery and get a feel for it."
Hearing this, the three students were stunned and a little nervous: "Is there a problem?"
Yan Xun comforted Xu Jingning: "It's okay, I think we can give more emotion to it. Listen to the director and take a rest first."
What they didn’t know was that at one o’clock in the afternoon, Yansheng’s live broadcast room was quietly opened.
Many people who had been waiting in advance discovered the news and rushed to inform others, but apart from the four screens that were turned on to display the ground, there was no movement, and no one knew why. Until a while later, the number of people in the live broadcast room exceeded one million, and the screen suddenly rose and kept moving, filming everything happening below from a bird's-eye view.
Someone in the barrage reacted: [It’s a drone! ]
Just when everyone was full of curiosity, the drone quickly passed over many scenes in the film and television city, and finally stopped in four places with different styles, then slowly descended until the people on the screen could be clearly seen.
【Ahhhhhhhh the guests have appeared!!!】
[Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, he's done all the good things in your life! How come all these actors are so suitable for ancient costumes! ]
[Wow, can the current popular ancient idols refer to the costumes and makeup here? They set off each person's personality traits so well! 】
However, as the drone flew lower and lower, the actors appeared more and more clearly in the picture, and netizens noticed something was wrong.
[Alas, the drone has stopped. I feel like the distance is still a bit far. Fortunately, the live broadcast screen can automatically enlarge the picture.]
[Wait, friends, do you think these actors are weird? Why are they rehearsing separately... Are they taking a break? ]
[He should be taking a break, hahahahahahaha. Who said that actors do good things? This is clearly not a human being. The production crew definitely didn't tell the actors that there would be this candid camera segment, hahahahahahahaha. I just saw Xiang Yuan secretly eating props! ]
[Wow, is this a break time? Chu Xinrou and Xin Yao are still memorizing lyrics and walking during the break. Do they have to be so serious? ]
[It's not just the two of them. Everyone else is practicing, right? After all, it's hard not to be nervous when the show is about to start. Xiang Yuan made a cake and went back to memorize the lines. It's just like a student cramming before an exam, thinking that as much as he can memorize is better.]
Amid the screen full of laughter, a different comment popped up: [So, while others are working hard to improve themselves, where is Xu Jingning? ]
Xu Jingning, who was on everyone's mind, had just come to Director Chen's small chair and was looking at her phone next to Yan Xun.
I guess the program crew also noticed that they had missed someone, so they carefully arranged a photographer to stand next to the two of them and captured this very interesting scene.
[Are they...playing Candy Crush? ]
[Damn, this thing looks so reliable, but when they get together in private, they instantly turn into childish couple literature, hahahahahaha]
"Here, here, just click on this and it will be gone!" Xu Jingning pointed excitedly at a certain pattern. Yan Xun followed his instructions and indeed heard the special effects voice of elimination. The two of them smiled and clapped their hands.
Xu Jingning raised his eyebrows and asked happily, "I won! I said I could definitely help you pass! Now, shouldn't you fulfill your promise to me?"
Yan Xun sighed lightly and pretended to be helpless: "Okay, whatever you want to ask, I can answer whatever I know."
"You said it yourself!" Xu Jingning cleared his throat and smiled maliciously, "I made a bet with Sister Zhou Zhou yesterday. I asked her to guess the exact date she was with her boyfriend within two days. If she can't answer it tomorrow, I will buy her milk tea for a week."
"Teacher Yan, you must know, right?"
[??? I have a boyfriend on the weekend???]
[Fuck Ningning, you went to eat melons again??? Can't we eat this melon??? Director Xu, are you here? Are you sure you don't want to turn off the live broadcast???]
[Damn it, I don’t dare to listen any more. Why does Yan Xun know this? Who is Weekend Boyfriend?! ! !]
Hearing this question, Yan Xun was silent for a rare moment: "I know."
After all, Zhang Siyan is a big mouth. On the day he confirmed their relationship, he wanted to announce it to the whole world. Fortunately, his sister beat him up and stopped him.
"But I also promised not to tell anyone casually," Yan Xun smiled and touched Xu Jingning's head, "How about we change a question?"
"No, if you lose, you lose. You can answer any question you asked just now! Don't play dirty tricks!" Xu Jingning opened her eyes wide and tilted her head. Her expression was so bright that it was hard to refuse. "Yan Xun, look at me. Are you willing to refuse me?"
【Ahhhhh I’m going to die! Tell him quickly!!!】
Under this wave of "beauty offensive", Yan Xun finally declared surrender. He helplessly wrote a date on the back of Xu Jingning's hand with his fingers. However, due to the shooting angle, netizens could not see it, but everyone captured the disbelief that flashed across Xu Jingning's eyes.
He even muttered, "This shouldn't be the case. This is far from what I expected."
Yan Xun regained his gentle smile: "If you don't believe it, go ask Zhang Siyan yourself."
As soon as the name "Zhang Siyan" came out, the live broadcast barrage instantly became quiet again.
At this moment, the director team finally realized what inevitable accident had been caused by this raid. The small window where Yan Xun and Xu Jingning were located was quickly closed, and a group of question marks and "Fuck!" flashed across the blackened live broadcast barrage.
[Oh shit, oh shit, the dead CP started attacking me]
[I drew my sword and looked around, feeling lost. For a moment, I didn’t know whether I should be sad that my CP had collapsed or that my other CP had come true. ]
[You are amazing, Xu Jingning, you are a real matchmaker (Cat Crying.jpg)]
