☆, Chapter 104: Chasing You
He was so passionate about Ye Qianan before, why can't he hold back a word now? It's useless!
It was just too sudden. Wen Mianyu never knew what password Lu Congxu used because she never touched Lu Congxu's phone before.
Although they have a good relationship, celebrities' privacy is not like that of ordinary people. Wen Mianyu has always had a sense of propriety and bottom line and would never touch the mobile phones of her colleagues.
Now, she was able to ask Lu Congxu for a cell phone without any psychological barriers, which proved that the boundaries in her heart had gradually blurred, right?
Wen Mianyu rested her forehead on the table and felt her face was a little hot.
…
Today's shooting schedule is very tight. We will shoot at the beach in the morning, the old house in the afternoon, and have a night scene in the evening.
Group A and Group B filmed together, and almost all the actors were present.
Director Lin rented a large open space on the beach for filming and put up banners to keep tourists and fans out.
When Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered outside the filming location, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Because it was impossible to hang banners at sea, two fans ignored the advice and dived into the sea and swam to the cordoned-off sea area.
Two script supervisors who were good at swimming had to go into the water and forcibly pull the two fans ashore.
Director Lin caught the two and scolded them, "What you're doing is very dangerous. If something happens, the crew will be held responsible, and your favorite idol will be attacked because of you. If you keep doing this, we're really going to call the police."
The two fans were both young girls. When they saw Director Lin was serious, they became intimidated and quickly apologized, saying, "We know we were wrong and will never do such dangerous things again."
Director Lin warned them again before letting them go, thus making an example of them to the onlookers.
Afterwards, Director Lin called several leading actors over to discuss their movements, and finally kept Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu.
"There are changes to your two scripts. I'm going to add a scene tonight, so I'm telling you in advance."
Changing the lyrics and adding scenes are common during the filming process, and this is also where the screenwriter and crew are mostly used. Wen Mianyu was fully involved in the script of Youth at the time, and there have been relatively few changes since then.
This was the first additional scene since filming began.
"It's page 66 here. You two should take a look first." Director Lin opened his script.
Wen Mianyu turned to the designated page as instructed and found that it was a scene with not many lines.
The timeline before the hero and heroine realize their feelings for each other but have not yet committed to each other.
During a collaborative performance, the heroine accidentally got hurt on the back, but she didn't tell the hero because she was afraid he would worry.
When she returned to her room at night, the heroine took off her clothes and applied medicine on herself. The hero who came to deliver fruit saw her taking off her clothes.
The male protagonist stood outside the door and saw the female protagonist's naked back and beautiful body through the crack of the door. He suddenly found it difficult to move his feet.
There is not a single line of dialogue in the script for this part, and the male protagonist's reaction to seeing the female protagonist's naked back can be described in just two words - impulsive.
But how to express this impulse and make it concrete is a test of the male lead's acting skills.
The scenes Director Lin wants to add are right after this scene.
The original script stated that after the male protagonist's impulsive behavior, the scene would change. The next day, the male protagonist felt quite uncomfortable when he saw the female protagonist.
But Director Lin felt that this did not express the protagonist's complex emotions, so he added a little plot after this scene.
After seeing the naked back of the heroine, the hero finally fled without going in.
After returning to the room, the male protagonist couldn't fall asleep for a long time. When he closed his eyes, all he saw was the female protagonist.
After tossing and turning for a long time, the hero finally fell asleep. In his dream, he dreamed of the heroine again, and many things happened that were difficult to control.
When he woke up the next day, he was at a loss as to what to do when faced with his wet pajamas and the heroine knocking on the door and calling him to eat.
Director Lin wanted to show the ignorant impulses of adolescence, as well as the avoidance of sexual matters, and attached great importance to this additional scene.
"For the dream part, I will ask the screenwriter to give you the new script later. You can memorize the lines while waiting. There are not many lines, and the main thing is that you have to figure out the emotions." Director Lin instructed.
Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu looked at each other and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.
Director Lin put it simply, to film the dream scene.
Many movies and TV series operate in this way. The heroine and the hero have a dream, which is a fantasy in the script, but outside the play, actors are needed to complete the plot.
Director Lin's brief description just now did not specify the content. Wen Mianyu just listened and felt that it was almost the same as a sex scene.
To be honest, she is not opposed to filming a bed scene with Lu Congxu now, but she still needs to adjust her mindset with such a sudden addition.
"This dream...how far should it be filmed?" Wen Mianyu couldn't help but ask.
Director Lin saw her expression and smiled. "Finally, there's something you're afraid of, Jasmine? Where did the courage to hit Yao Xin go? Don't you think about it? I'm not making a B-rated movie. How big can it get?"
"That's not necessarily true." This wasn't the first time Wen Mianyu had worked with Director Lin. "The films that can be exhibited abroad are no less explicit than B-rated films. As long as they don't involve real guns and knives, there's no shortage of scenes they wouldn't shoot."
"I didn't expect you to be so well-read in group films." Director Lin couldn't stop laughing and said, "Don't worry, it's not something that requires clearing the set. Cong Xu will hug you from behind and kiss your neck, something like that."
Wen Mianyu felt relieved. She didn't need to prepare herself mentally for this level for the time being, although she would feel shy because of the changes in their relationship.
shy……
Wen Mianyu never thought that one day this word would be used on herself.
"Look how scared you are. Are you really that afraid of a sex scene?" Director Lin patted Lu Congxu beside him. "Congxu is so handsome. You won't be at a disadvantage if you film with him. He didn't even refuse. You're the one who got scared."
"I'm not a coward." Wen Mianyu muttered.
"Then what are you?" Director Lin became curious.
In his opinion, Su Moli was a natural born to be an actor. With such excellent acting skills, she should be a drama fanatic who lives in the play, but he didn't expect that she was so conservative by nature.
"You know what? You're very similar to Mian Yu in this respect. She also refused to do bed scenes." Director Lin crossed his arms, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "Your acting expression and style are also very similar to Mian Yu's."
Wen Mianyu was very calm, "Maybe it's fate, me and Queen Wen."
"Yeah, if you look closely, you two really do look alike." Director Lin clapped his hands. "Alright, let's get ready to shoot. Don't forget to rehearse your scenes when you have time. Don't keep doing NGs like last time tonight."
"I understand." Wen Mianyu said.
"Okay." Lu Congxu also responded.
"You don't mind adding this scene, right?" Director Lin finally remembered to ask Lu Congxu for his opinion.
"No." Lu Congxu replied, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at Wen Mianyu.
Director Lin caught his little action, but misunderstood its meaning and said to Wen Mianyu, "See, this is a good actor. You should learn from him."
Wen Mianyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yes, sir."
"Tell me if you have any difficulties." Director Lin looked like a patriarch.
Being told this repeatedly, Wen Mianyu seemed very reluctant. Afraid that Lu Congxu would misunderstand her, Wen Mianyu explained, "It's not difficult. I'm just shy, a little timid, that's all."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few takes." Director Lin took the script and left.
"I'm not reluctant." Wen Mianyu saw Lu Congxu staring at him and couldn't help but explain again.
She was really afraid that Lu Congxu would misunderstand.
After knowing Lu Congxu's thoughts, she realized that Lu Congxu was depressed twice before and probably misunderstood her.
The first time was when she "tease" Shen Zui when they went up the mountain. Lu Congxu probably really thought that she and Shen Zui were in love, or she was simply jealous.
The question Lu Congxu asked at the breakfast stall last time, Wen Mianyu's answer was wrong, which seemed to cause Lu Congxu to misunderstand.
Fortunately, these misunderstandings were finally resolved, and Wen Mianyu didn't want to create any new misunderstandings.
"I know you are not reluctant, you are shy, you are timid." Lu Congxu repeated her words.
Wen Mianyu's face was burning with anger after her situation was exposed. She pretended to reach out and scratch Lu Congxu's face, "I take it back. I just don't want to do it!"
Lu Congxu grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer, "It's too late."
"It's not too late. I'll go find Director Lin and ask him to cancel this scene." Wen Mianyu said seriously.
"Then I will use my status to pressure you. You must shoot it, otherwise I will change the role." Lu Congxu also pretended to be serious.
Wen Mianyu was so amused that she was bent over backwards and didn't even have the energy to show her strength. "Ah, when did you become so shameless?"
"When I decided to pursue you." Lu Congxu said.
"..." Wen Mianyu's movements froze instantly, and his expression froze. He stared at Lu Congxu in a daze, and only blinked for a long time.
Lu Congxu laughed and pulled her stiff hands down. "I'm pursuing you. It's so obvious, can't you see it?"
"..." Wen Mianyu was speechless.
"It's okay. Even if you couldn't see it before, you know it now." Lu Congxu said readily.
“…”Wen Mianyu is still stupid.
But she didn't have the chance to be stupid anymore. Director Lin called her to shoot, "Jasmine! Get in position!"
"Ah..." Wen Mianyu responded, but he was still a beat slow and turned his body mechanically.
Lu Congxu let go of her hand and whispered in her ear, "Take good pictures."
…
It was impossible to take a good photo. Wen Mianyu felt dizzy after being unexpectedly confessed to.
She understood very well what it felt like for Lu Congxu to have done twenty NGs before, the feeling of not being able to find the right state. She had been filming for ten years and had been on so many stages, but this was only the second time except for the time when her grandfather passed away.
I can't concentrate on acting at all.
After filming started, she didn't even know where the camera was. She remembered her lines well, but her expression was dazed, as if she was wandering outside the set.
After five NGs, Director Lin was still patient and comforted her.
After fifteen NGs, Director Lin was on the verge of exploding and asked her not to think about the scenes in the evening.
It would be fine if she didn't mention it, but as soon as she mentioned Wen Mianyu, she would remember that they had to film a kissing scene in the evening, and then Lu Congxu confessed his love... No, Lu Congxu was pursuing her, how could they film the scene in the evening?
Wen Mianyu became even more confused, and forgot all her lines for the next ten times in a row.
"Su Moli!" Director Lin finally exploded. "What's wrong with you? Can we still shoot? If not, get out!"
Director Lin often curses people on the set, and some of his words are very nasty. This is considered mild when it comes to others.
But for Wen Mianyu, who always gets away with it, these were considered harsh words.
Wen Mianyu couldn't feel sad. She patted her hot face and said, "Director Lin, give me some time to calm down."
"Ten minutes." Director Lin emphasized.
"Okay." Wen Mianyu made an OK gesture and walked towards the nanny car.
Before she had taken two steps, Lu Congxu came up to her and handed her an ice towel, "Wipe your sweat."
There were too many passersby and fans taking photos around, so he didn't do it for them.
Wen Mianyu grabbed the towel and pressed it against her face. The cold air invaded her pores, and her hot skin finally cooled down a bit, and her face was not as red anymore.
"Are you okay?" Lu Congxu asked.
Wen Mianyu pulled off the towel and glared at him, "What do you think?"
Lu Congxu smiled and pulled her along, "Get in the car first."
…
The two returned to the car, Lu Congxu turned on the air conditioner and took out ice water from the small refrigerator.
Wen Mianyu waved her hand, "I'm not thirsty."
"Then let me fan the flames for you?" Lu Congxu asked with a smile, a hint of teasing.
He was smiling all the way, a very happy smile, with warmth in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and his originally cold temperament softened.
Wen Mianyu had to admit that even when she was really angry, seeing this face would make her anger less than half.
Lu Congxu is really handsome. He was the boy next door who amazed her the first time they met. After ten years of precipitation, he looks even better and is handsome with a mature temperament.
"It's all your fault. Director Lin scolded me." Wen Mianyu complained half-truthfully.
"It's my fault. You can punish me however you want." Lu Congxu readily agreed.
"What can I punish you for?" Wen Mianyu asked.
Lu Congxu thought about it and smiled again, "Punish me to chase her for a while longer?"
Wen Mianyu's heart pounded again. She raised her hand to her chest, feeling like she was such a loser. "Is that how you chase someone? You just started chasing them without even notifying them."
"I thought you knew." Lu Congxu said.
Wen Mianyu suddenly remembered the day when Lu Congxu came to her to have dinner in the car, and he specially ordered her favorite crab burger. Since then, he has been very attentive to her.
Did it start from that day?
No wonder, she was still wondering why Lu Congxu hadn't confessed his feelings after knowing her identity.
"It seems that it is not obvious enough. I will make it more obvious in the future." Lu Congxu said seriously.
Wen Mianyu felt that her heart would never heal, so she pretended to be serious and said, "What are you laughing at? I saw you laughing all the way here. What's so funny?"
"Happy." Lu Congxu confessed.
"Why are you so happy? Did I say I promised you?" Wen Mianyu asked.
Wen Mianyu did not agree, but her behavior made Lu Congxu happier than if she had agreed.
Having known Wen Mianyu for so many years, Lu Congxu rarely saw Wen Mianyu lose her composure. He made her NG more than thirty times and forget the lyrics more than ten times. It can be seen how much psychological fluctuation his pursuit caused Wen Mianyu.
If Wen Mianyu agreed to him indifferently, it might be because of various reasons.
But reactions alone can't deceive people.
So Lu Congxu was very happy, as happy as when he knew that Wen Mianyu was reborn.
"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I need to adjust my state of mind." Wen Mianyu sat upright, picked up the script and opened it.
Lu Congxu approached considerately, but the slight curl of his lips betrayed him, "Do you need me to help you with the rehearsal?"
"No need, get out of the car and take your photos. Don't disturb me here." Wen Mianyu pushed him out.
Lu Congxu responded with a smile, opened the door and got out of the car.
