Chapter 62 Becoming a Couple with the Rival



Both the male and female protagonists are well-known for their acting skills, but they were criticized for their first scene after joining the crew and their faces turned red.

The male lead 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. The two of you should rehearse your scenes. We'll start shooting in three minutes."

After he finished speaking, Tang Jin did not waste any time. Just as he was about to call Xiao Xue to watch the script and rehearse it, he heard a voice reach his ears.

[Tang Jin and Xiao Xue are in the passionate love period now. They kissed in the lounge before filming. Right from the start, they acted out a breakup scene. Even though their bodies acted out the corresponding performance reflexively, their eyes softened unconsciously when they looked at each other. Alas, it was the lover's heart that made the mistake.]

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 sound during the audition. When they heard it again, they were no longer sweating profusely, and they all approached Jiang Ning secretly, ready to eat melons up close.

But they really didn't expect that Tang Jin and Xiao Xue were actually in love. These two debuted in the same drama, and 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 some passers-by think that they are a good match in terms of appearance 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 actually start dating secretly.

Is this the script of "After becoming a hater of the rival, I fell in love with the rival" turned into reality? The director was also shocked. He really didn't know that the two were a couple. In addition, there was no news of their relationship on the Internet. While he was secretly complaining about how good they were at hiding it, he was also wondering in his heart whether the two 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 "Ghost Escape Rules".

The director was already thinking about publicity and promotion before filming even started even though the two main characters knew about it.

Anyway, everyone was looking at them in shock and meaningful manner, and looking back and forth between them. When they thought of that voice, even though Tang Jin and Xiao Xue had debuted for many years, they 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 abandon you and go looking for an outlet for ghost stories alone. You should be angry. This is not a playful and flirting between lovers." 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, while 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 did not achieve the effect the director wanted.

The director was numb and regretted that when he was choosing the male and female protagonists, he only told Jiang Ning that he would not choose artists with scandals.

Tang Jin and Xiao Xue have no more scandals, 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 they shoot well with such a sticky and stinky couple status? NG again, the two protagonists became a little nervous, and when they were thinking about how to act, Jiang Ning's voice sounded again.

[In fact, it is not that difficult to act. Xiao Xue only needs to recall the feelings she had when she heard Tang Jin's interview and put herself into the situation, and she will be able to play this scene well.]

[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 a cold face in public, did you put yourself in her shoes? ]

Jiang Ning cut a piece of the melon and ate it. Then she looked up and saw that Xiao Xue's eyes had changed subtly. She 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!"

The director's voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Jiang Ning, get ready for the next scene. If you don't understand anything, just come and 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 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 that she needed to be thanked for?

Lu Yuan next to him smiled secretly. He didn't do anything. He just acted as a savior and saved the crew money.

The next scene is a group portrait, where 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 had sufficient funds, but considering that a lot of special effects would be needed in the later stages, they didn't spend too much on food, and the boxed lunches were just the ordinary two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

Lu Yuan was also given a box lunch. The young lady opened the box excitedly, but her eyes hurt when she saw the dishes inside that had changed color due to being steamed.

"Why is the crew cooking like this? Is there not enough money? Otherwise, why don't you talk to Jiang Qing and ask Shengshi to invest some money?"

Lu Yuan wanted Shengshi to join the investment. Her elder brother's expectation would be fulfilled, and Jiang Ning would also be able to eat better. It would be 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 know much about these things, 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 with them. A little bit was fine with her, but too much was definitely not acceptable. Who would want to have most of the melon shared out when they could have eaten the whole thing?

Lu Yuan also grew up with top-notch educational resources, and she understood that given Shengshi Entertainment's status, if she invested in a project in which she had a small share of the investment and had no say, she would be criticized, so she did not insist.

I just fiddled with my phone for a while, and soon a famous tea house that didn't do take-out delivered coffee and cake.

"The cakes in this shop are so expensive. A small piece of cake costs one thousand yuan. Which rich fan gave so much support?"

"Are they Tang Jin fans or Xiao Xue fans? Didn't these two fan groups organize a big start-up support event today? That flower wall looks like it was spent money, and they also prepared a milk tea food truck, so why are they also giving away coffee and cake?"

"Give the real owner a face. Don't the two families compete in everything? Maybe the rich fans want to suppress the rival family."

When this staff member mentioned this, everyone thought of the gossip that Tang Jin and Xiao Xue were a couple.

Suddenly I didn't know whether I should sympathize with the fans who risked their lives for the real protagonist. The real protagonists they regarded as opponents are together, but they are still competing in various ways. It makes me sad to think about it.
