Chapter 051
"Lower your head and put your arms around my waist."
"Yes, relax and close your eyes."
"Do you like this feeling?"
Xu Jingning woke up vaguely from his dream. A second later, he realized what he had dreamed about and his face turned red from his neck to his face.
He was actually... reminiscing about what happened last night?
Damn, I’d be so embarrassed if people knew about this!
Rubbing his face vigorously, Xu Jingning quickly ran to wash up, and tried to clear his mind with business.
They could actually go to the film and television rehearsal city today, but after asking for opinions, they decided to go to Yan Xun's villa and then go to the film and television city for the last two days.
Today’s content…
Xu Jingning paused holding the toothbrush.
Xu Jingning: “…”
It seems like we are practicing kissing scenes today.
How could I be so obsessed with it for a moment?
"Good morning."
Yan Xun's voice sounded from behind. Xu Jingning turned around and found that he seemed to be in a good mood: "You got up really early today."
"Well... this round of the topic is not easy to act, I want to spend more time practicing," Xu Jingning subconsciously made an excuse, then realized that he had thrown the topic out, and hurriedly turned his eyes away, "You got up pretty early too."
The day before, they just got a general feel for the atmosphere and got into the mood. The three of them just held the mentality of "giving it a try" to get a feel for it, without going into detail about the specific performance content. However, there is still a big difference between film and television screenwriters and online writers, as they need to analyze the situation word by word and make relative changes.
The next project is quite large, so there is no need for props or background for the time being.
Yan Xun chuckled and replied, "Well, the reason is the same as yours."
The conversation stopped here, and Xu Jingning thought he had escaped a disaster, but the next sentence deliberately brought up the matter he didn't want to face: "How are your preparations? The psychological barrier today should be much smaller."
Xu Jingning pretended to be dead in front of the mirror.
Haha, it seems to be bigger.
But you can't escape forever. Once the rehearsal officially started that day, Xu Jingning couldn't avoid it no matter how unwilling he was.
They went through the play briefly first, and when it came to the kissing scene, Xu Jingning and Ye Zhiliu were obviously in much better condition than the day before.
But it was limited to the two of them's movements and expressions, and when they were about to kiss, they quickly stiffened again.
Xu Jingning thought that he would be able to overcome the obstacles naturally after his first time, but his instincts still restrained him from continuing to act.
This is different from yesterday...the feeling of simply having a psychological barrier to kissing.
"Still not working?"
Yan Xun had been watching them.
Realizing this, Xu Jingning began to force himself to move closer——
Then he was pushed away by Ye Zhiliu.
With a "bang", Xu Jingning fell to the ground unexpectedly. Because he was caught off guard, he was choked by the air and coughed for a long time before he slowly recovered.
"Ah! Ningning! I'm so sorry!" Ye Zhiliu hurried forward, looking guilty, "It's all my fault for not being able to control my emotions..."
"It's okay." Xu Jingning finished a whole glass of water that Yan Xun handed over and exhaled, "I'm not in the right state, and I won't get hurt if I push it."
It just hurts a bit when I sit down on the ground.
"I'm really sorry... I didn't know I would be so resistant." Ye Zhiliu's apology was sincere and she almost cried because of self-blame. "If I continue to do this later, you don't know how many times you will be hurt..."
Xu Jingning laughed dryly: "That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Ye Zhiliu: "My cousin broke his leg when he was a kid because he slapped me on the back and I swung him out."
Xu Jingning: “…”
Don't be too outrageous?!
However, Ye Zhiliu didn't hesitate for too long, and quickly thought of a solution: "Why don't we do the same as yesterday? Teacher Yan will lead Ning Ning to demonstrate, and I will also look for inspiration based on your performance."
Both of them looked at Yan Xun, as if waiting for his reply.
Yan Xun smiled slightly: "Okay."
Xu Jingning pinched her fingertips and felt an indescribable feeling.
If I were to make an analogy, it's a lot like the nervousness of having your homework checked.
Apart from that, there is also a hint of... a little expectation.
Yan Xun hugged him again, with the same action as yesterday, but Xu Jingning was tense at that time, but now he took the initiative to climb up when the hand covered his lower back.
A very light laugh fell into his ears, and he knew that Yan Xun also felt his change.
"Very good, keep it up." He simply lowered his head and whispered in the person's ear, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "But you must stay calm today."
"Ye Zhiliu is watching. You don't want others to see you in a daze after the kiss, right?"
The hand holding my shoulder suddenly tightened.
Then, Yan Xun kissed him again.
With mental preparation, Xu Jingning managed to maintain his sanity with great difficulty even though he expended a lot of effort when the feeling of being high came again.
This time it ended very quickly. Probably because he was afraid that he couldn't hold on for too long, Yan Xun simply went through the process and let him go.
"May I?"
Xu Jingning breathed lightly, and the hand that was holding the other person's shoulder became a support point at this moment, and he was unable to reply in time.
Ye Zhiliu, who was watching the whole process from the side, thought he was asking her and replied excitedly, "Sure, sure! It looks great!"
"Ah, no, I mean the two teachers kissed so well! There were feelings and emotions!" Ye Zhiliu's heart was pounding, and he glanced at Xu Jingning, who was half facing away from him but whose neck was red, "It's just that, um, it doesn't seem to fit the emotions in the script?"
Xu Jingning, who heard what she said, calmed down and said, "...if you want to watch it more times, just tell me."
Ye Zhiliu's eyes immediately lit up: "Really? Yes, yes, yes, I want to see it a few more times!"
"No!" Xu Jingning refused before Yan Xun could speak, "This only proves that I am not suitable for kissing scenes with Yan Xun."
"But you couldn't kiss me when you looked at my face, but you didn't resist at all when Teacher Yan hugged you!" Ye Zhiliu risked his life and started to spread rumors, "Ningning, you have to be reasonable! You took the initiative as if you had kissed before!"
Xu Jingning: I was hit so hard that I dared not speak.
Yan Xun couldn't help laughing: "Then you guys practice some more?"
Seeing someone with a resentful look in her eyes, Ye Zhiliu dared not do anything. She raised her hand and suggested, "Teacher Yan! Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time. I feel that this role is more suitable for you. After all, it's the protagonist, and the requirements are relatively high. Whether it's respect for the original author and fans or as an actor's attitude towards acting, you should play it."
"Also, judging from the current situation, maybe it's because I'm a girl that Ning Ning reacted so strongly? Actually, the two of you just cooperated very well. Although you didn't express your emotions correctly, but, but... well, the kiss was very beautiful!"
Holy shit! It was the first time Xu Jingning heard someone say that someone kissed beautifully.
But if we really have to compare...if the person he plays opposite is Yan Xun, he seems to be much more accepting.
So after a moment of silence, he also responded: "Purely for the sake of the work, I also think it is more appropriate for Teacher Yan to play the role."
Seeing that both students said so, Yan Xun no longer refused. It happened that only two or three days had passed, and it was still in time to change roles.
After solving one of his major problems, Xu Jingning was finally able to devote some of his attention to solving another one.
Two days later, he was invited by Ning Qingzhuo to the concert venue.
"Are you ready so quickly? I remember it wasn't long since you posted the official Weibo announcement?"
Ning Qingzhuo led the group around the place. The stage had been almost decorated. After several attempts at lighting and adjusting the position of props, Xu Jingning was deeply amazed by the on-site effects.
He had never been to any large-scale performance venues, and Ning Qingzhuo chose the largest stadium in Pingjiang as the venue this time.
Ning Qingzhuo is very casual every time he holds a concert. His main purpose is to satisfy himself, and secondly to give back to his fans, so he is willing to spend money on the on-site decoration.
As expected, in response to this question, the young master looked nonchalant: "Ah, actually the date has been set a long time ago, it's next week, but I forgot to post on Weibo during the preparation period, and I just remembered and posted it that day."
Xu Jingning choked.
He just knew that the young master followed his heart, but he didn't expect him to follow his heart to this extent.
If I just forget about it, aren’t I afraid that no fans will come?
Ning Qingzhuo saw what he didn't dare to say, and smiled: "It doesn't matter, my concerts are all for myself anyway~"
"Besides, we've given out so many tickets to relatives and friends, so the venue won't be empty," Ning Qingzhuo seemed to have just remembered to ask, "Where are the tickets for you? Who did you give them to?"
"Well, I originally wanted to give the tickets to a few of my closest friends, but they all said you had invited them," Xu Jingning waved her hand, "so I had no choice but to give the tickets to other artists in the company. But don't worry, I carefully selected them, and they are all your die-hard fans."
"Xiao Hong, you are so popular. So many people are fighting for tickets. One of my sisters who works in the production crew almost cancelled her contract to go to your concert."
Ning Qingzhuo was amused by his words: "Oh, why am I so popular in Xingchuan?"
"I thought my nickname in the industry should be 'good for nothing except being pretty'?"
Xu Jingning was caught off guard and showed off her face.
"Okay, big star, why don't you go to Baidu and check how many awards you've won in the past five years! Stop showing off, okay!"
The two chatted as they walked, and when they arrived at the backstage they unexpectedly ran into Lu Zexi. Xu Jingning subconsciously wanted to make room for the young couple, but then he noticed that Ning Qingzhuo pouted and looked unhappy.
Xu Jingning: “?”
This is, a quarrel?
But Lu Zexi was in the same state. He was chatting about something with the staff. When he noticed the two people coming over, he glanced at them and turned away to continue talking.
Ning Qingzhuo put away his smile and walked to the other end of the lounge and sat down.
Xu Jingning followed and asked quietly, "What happened to you two?"
Didn’t it look fine last time?
Ning Qingzhuo snorted coldly and said in a tone that was not very convincing: "It's nothing. I am honored that Mr. Lu is personally responsible for the logistics of my concert."
He has a bad temper.
Xu Jingning carefully tried to reconcile them: "It's normal for couples to have some conflicts. Well, you should be more open-minded and stop getting angry at yourself."
"Who said he and I are a couple?" Ning Qingzhuo's attention was diverted by this sentence, and he suddenly became interested, "I think he and I look like a couple?"
Xu Jingning: “…similar.”
Who is the one who keeps calling you brother first? It's hard not to be misunderstood, okay?
Unexpectedly, the next second, Ning Qingzhuo opened his mouth and it was a bolt from the blue: "Anyway, I've never seen a couple kiss so many times and still not have any reaction at all."
"You're a perverted straight man, you only know how to pretend to be serious."
There was so much information in this sentence that Xu Jingning was overwhelmed and confused.
It seems like he knew something extraordinary.
"Ah? You guys are not..." Shocked, he chose to grasp another key point, "You guys kissed? How did it feel?"
"It's just so-so. It's meaningless if he doesn't respond at all. He's the one who takes the initiative to seduce me every time!" Ning Qingzhuo said with little interest, and then suddenly realized something, "Why do you have this expression suddenly?"
At this moment, Xu Jingning's face was not full of curiosity, but rather a little eager to explore, as well as a little avoidance.
Ning Qingzhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him.
Xu Jingning is hiding something.
The young master, who was always good at hitting the pain points, said without hesitation: "You kissed Yan Xun, didn't you?"
It's not a question, it's an affirmative tone.
Xu Jingning subconsciously turned his head to look at the sky.
Is it too late to deny it now?
