Chapter 62 Becoming a Couple with the Rival
The two male and female protagonists are both famous acting schools. Now they are criticized for their first scene on the set, and their faces are a little red.
The male protagonist Tang Jin glanced at the girl next to him and apologized to the frowning director.
"I'm not in good shape. Director, give me three minutes so I can think about the script."
The director put down the megaphone and waved his hand, "Hurry up and read the script. You two should rehearse your scenes. Shooting will start in three minutes."
After he finished speaking, Tang Jin did not waste any time. Just as he was about to call Xiao Xue to go and watch the script and rehearse, he heard a voice reach his ears.
Tang Jin and Xiao Xue are in the throes of love right now. They even kissed in the break room before filming, but right away they were acting out a breakup scene. Even though their bodies reflexively acted accordingly, their eyes softened unconsciously as they looked at each other. Alas, it's all the fault of the lovers.
Tang Jin, Xiao Xue: "..."
What's that sound?
In addition to the two of them, many people in the director team and supporting actors had heard this voice during the audition. When they heard it again, they no longer sweated profusely as before, and secretly approached Jiang Ning, ready to eat the melon up close.
However, they really didn't expect that Tang Jin and Xiao Xue were actually in love. These two debuted in the same drama. Because they were a couple in the drama, many people were shipping them.
But during the interview, when a reporter asked Tang Jin what his ideal type was, Tang Jin frowned and said it was not someone like Xiao Xue. As a result, Xiao Xue's fans have always disliked him. The two families have been arguing for several years and are well-known rivals in the entertainment industry.
Both sides dislike each other to death. When the two protagonists appear in the same frame, if passers-by think that they are a good match and want to pair them up, fans of both sides will immediately jump out and say that their protagonists would never find a boyfriend or girlfriend like that.
Who would have thought that under such circumstances, the two of them would secretly start dating.
Is this the story of "After becoming a hater of my rival, I fell in love with him" turning into reality?
The director was also shocked. He really didn't know that the two were a couple. There was no news about them being in love on the Internet. While he was complaining about how good they were at hiding it, he was also wondering if they had any plans to make it public.
If you want to make it public, you have to make some changes to the subsequent promotion and publicity of "Kwaidan Escape Rules".
The director was already thinking about publicity and promotion before the two main characters even knew about the filming.
Anyway, they were stared at in shock and with deep meaning by everyone, who was also looking back and forth between them. When they thought of that voice, even Tang Jin and Xiao Xue, who had debuted for many years, felt uncomfortable on their faces.
The two tried their best not to pay attention to other people's gazes, and picked up the script with stiff movements to check it. When the time was up, the two returned to the camera.
In the surveillance video, Xiao Xue yelled at Tang Jin and was about to push him away, but something was not right here.
"Xiao Xue, use more force. You misunderstood that Tang Jin was going to leave you and go find an outlet for ghost stories alone. You should be angry. This is not just playing around and flirting like a couple." The director picked up the loudspeaker again.
"Also, the look in your eyes is not right. Tang Jin is suppressing his love for the heroine and pretending to be indifferent. You went from expecting the hero to explain to being disappointed, and your eyes gradually became resentful. The change should be layered, not just looking at people calmly."
After giving the instructions, the camera moved forward again to take close-ups of the two people's faces. This time it was a little more accurate, but it still didn't achieve the effect the director wanted.
The director was confused and regretted that when he was choosing the male and female protagonists, he only told Jiang Ning that he would not choose artists with negative news.
There is no negative news about Tang Jin and Xiao Xue, but they are a couple, and they are in the passionate period of love. There are several scenes in this drama where they misunderstand each other. How can the show be filmed well with their sticky and stinky couple status?
After being NGed again, the two protagonists became a little nervous. When they were thinking about how to act, Jiang Ning's voice sounded again.
[It's actually not that difficult to act. Xiao Xue just needs to recall the feelings she had when she heard Tang Jin's interview and put herself into his shoes, and she'll be able to perform this scene well.]
[As for Tang Jin, think about why you said those words in the first place, how you suppressed your emotions all these years, and how you gave Xiao Xue the cold shoulder in public. Does that mean you can empathize with her?]
Jiang Ning cut a melon and ate it. Then he looked up and saw Xiao Xue's eyes had changed subtly. He pushed Tang Jin hard and almost pushed him into the arms of the field manager.
Tang Jin's dark pupils seemed to be suppressing emotions that were difficult to see clearly. He looked at Xiao Xue with sadness and did not speak for a long time. Only when Xiao Xue walked straight past him did his shoulders suddenly slump.
"Okay, pass!"
"Prepare for the next scene."
The director's voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Jiang Ning, get ready for the next scene. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." The director patted Jiang Ning's shoulder and said kindly.
Jiang Ning poked Lin Mian beside him in confusion.
"Why does the director's eyes look so weird?"
"Maybe it's a thank you." After eating the melon, the sadness in Lin Mian's eyes was much less.
This made Jiang Ning even more confused.
Did she just do something to be thanked for?
Lu Yuan next to him smiled secretly. She didn't do anything. She just acted as a savior and saved the crew money.
The next scene is a group portrait, in which several people who are accidentally pulled into the world of ghost stories meet and escape from the monsters with injuries.
Because there were so many actors in this scene, it took a lot of time just to arrange the actors' movements and ensure that each actor's performance was correct. After we finished filming this scene, it was time for lunch.
The crew's budget was quite sufficient, but considering that a lot of special effects would be done in the later stage, they didn't spend too much on food, and the boxed lunch was just two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.
Lu Yuan was also given a box lunch. The young lady opened the lunch box excitedly, but her eyes hurt when she saw the dishes inside that had changed color due to being steamed.
"Why is the crew having to cook like this? Are they short of money? Or should we talk to Jiang Qing and ask Shengshi to invest some money?"
Lu Yuan wanted Shengshi to join the investment. Her elder brother's expectation was fulfilled, and Jiang Ning could also eat better. It was the best of both worlds. Her eyes became brighter and brighter.
"This drama is mainly invested by Jiang Qing Company. They probably won't let Shengshi invest too much and have too much say. It would be better for them to invest in other projects."
Jiang Ning didn't understand these things very well, but she could understand from Jiang Qing's attitude that investing was just like eating melons.
When she found the melon, a few badger came and asked her to share some of it with them. A little bit was fine with them, but too much was definitely not an option. Who would want to have most of the melon shared away when they could have eaten it all?
Lu Yuan also grew up with top-tier educational resources, and she understood that according to the status of Shengshi Entertainment, if she invested in a project with a small investment share and no say, she would be criticized, so she did not insist on it.
I just fiddled with my phone for a while, and soon a famous tea shop that didn't do takeout delivered coffee and cake.
"This shop's cakes are so expensive. A small piece of cake costs a thousand yuan. Which wealthy fan supports them with so much money?"
"Are they Tang Jin fans or Xiao Xue fans? Didn't these two fan groups already put on a big show to support the filming today? That flower wall looks like they spent money on it, and they also prepared a milk tea food truck, so why are they also giving away coffee and cake?"
"Give the original owner a good name. Don't these two families compete on everything? Maybe the wealthy fans want to outdo the other family."
When this staff member mentioned this, everyone thought of the gossip that Tang Jin and Xiao Xue were a couple.
Suddenly I don’t know whether I should sympathize with the fans who risked their lives for the real protagonist. They regard the real protagonists of the rival faction as together, but they are still competing in various ways. It makes me sad to think about it.
