☆, Chapter 105: Clearing the Field
"What's wrong with Jasmine? Are you really nervous about the scene tonight?"
Lu Congxu returned to the filming location and Director Lin came over and asked.
Director Lin, followed by Ye Qianan, laughed when he heard this. "Ms. Su has probably been too influenced by the public opinion on the Internet. It's inevitable that she can't adjust her mentality. Director Lin, please be more understanding."
If it were someone else, Director Lin would have believed Ye Qianan's words to a certain extent, but when it came to Wen Mianyu, he didn't believe it at all.
Director Lin was indeed worried about this the day after the Yao Xin Weibo incident broke out, but he soon found that his worries were unnecessary.
Wen Mianyu is a contestant with very strong psychological quality. In her eyes, the rumors from the outside world are nothing.
"She is indeed nervous about the scene tonight, which affects her performance. Give her some time and she will adjust." Lu Congxu explained.
Ye Qianan frowned and said nothing more.
Lu Congxu was clearly going against him and directly overturning his previous words.
"As for Jasmine, what can I say good about her? It's not a sex scene, it's just a kissing scene at most, so why can't she let go?" Director Lin looked helpless.
Ye Qianan realized something, "Kissing scene? If I remember correctly, Mr. Lu doesn't do kissing scenes, right?"
“Normally, we won’t take pictures, but if the person is right, we can take pictures.” Lu Congxu said.
"Oh?" Ye Qianan raised his eyebrows. "Then it seems that Miss Su is really the right person for Congxu."
Lu Congxu did not deny it, but he did not admit what he said either.
"No matter if it's right or wrong, as long as we can get it right in one take, that's the best." Director Lin didn't care about their fans. "Qian'an, go get ready. Let's shoot your part with Congxu first."
…
Twenty minutes later, Wen Mianyu adjusted himself and returned to his state, and was finally able to start filming.
But compared with the previous situation, it is still worse.
Fortunately, there were more group scenes than individual scenes, so she managed to get through the whole day without any major problems.
At night, we returned to the old house to shoot the night scenes.
Wen Mianyu's scene required her to have her back exposed, so the stylist put a flesh-colored seamless bra on her and taped her chest to prevent it from falling off.
Afterwards, the stylist applied hair wax on Wen Mianyu's hair and blew it dry to create a smooth effect.
This scene is extremely beautiful.
Wen Mianyu knelt on the bed with her back to the camera, slowly taking off her clothes. Her long hair fell down her back, covering the scars on her face.
Then, Wen Mianyu reached back and pushed her long hair to her shoulders, revealing her entire jade-white back.
The scene that can make the male protagonist feel the urge to move must be beautiful and have tension.
Considering that Wen Mianyu had never filmed a similar scene before, Director Lin went to her bed to give her some guidance before filming began.
Wen Mianyu is a talented contestant. She was always able to convey the emotions that Director Lin wanted during previous filmings, and Director Lin did not give her any special instructions.
This time he was more careful than ever, even teaching her step by step, teaching her how to seduce, how to be charming, how to use light and shadow, and how to show purity and desire.
Director Lin posed in a lot of coquettish poses and only got out of bed after he worked up a sweat.
The first shot begins.
Wen Mianyu knelt on the bed, crossed her hands, grabbed the hem of her clothes, slowly pulled them up, and slowly took off her clothes.
In real life, no one would take off clothes like this, but the movie has a different expression of camera control.
To vent emotions and increase beauty, many classic movies have several unforgettable scenes in addition to the story itself, which are talked about by film critics.
The action of Wen Mianyu taking off her clothes was a slow motion shot. The camera moved forward from behind her and stopped after she took off her clothes. The warm yellow light poured down and flowed through her long black hair.
Wen Mianyu pushed her long hair to her shoulders, reached behind her back and gently touched the wound.
The pain made her frown slightly. She picked up a small porcelain bottle on the bed, dipped some medicine in it, and reached back to her back to apply it gently.
Her back has beautiful and symmetrical lines, and her butterfly bones stand out under the light, like a butterfly with its wings spread.
Lu Congxu stood in front of the door and watched all this. His expression seemed calm, but his eyes were dark, full of reality and the impulse of being immersed in the play.
"Cut!" Director Lin was very satisfied with this shot.
Next, it’s time to film the content of the dream.
Director Lin divided the dream part into three shots.
In the first shot, Lu Congxu took off Wen Mianyu's clothes, put his arms around her from behind, and rested his forehead on her ear...
In the second shot, Lu Congxu gently kisses Wen Mianyu's back and neck...
In the third shot, the two of them rolled onto the bed...
Originally, in order to echo the previous part, Director Lin wanted Wen Mianyu to wear the same T-shirt as before, but when it was actually implemented, he found that such a stripping scene was really not aesthetically pleasing.
The T-shirt is a pullover. Wen Mianyu can take it off by herself and look very sexy, but if she asks Lu Congxu to help her, her posture looks very strange.
So Director Lin considered it and decided to change the clothes into costumes. He asked the costume designer to bring all of Wen Mianyu's stage costumes and finally chose a light pink one.
This is a Kunqu opera costume, and its style is somewhat similar to the Hanfu from the Han Dynasty. There is a row of hidden buttons in the middle, and the whole garment can be taken off by gently pulling it back.
Director Lin asked the lighting technician to use very soft lighting to create a dreamy effect.
…
"Fang Hua, Scene 88, Second Take, Once!"
Wen Mianyu was wearing a heavy costume and standing in the midst of light and shadow, leaving only her back to the camera.
Lu Congxu approached her from behind, gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and rubbed her neck with his fingertips.
Wen Mianyu didn't move, like an obedient puppet.
Lu Congxu stretched out his hand in front of her, touched the belt with his fingertips, and gently pulled it.
The costume on Wen Mianyu's body peeled off like petals, sliding down her body to her feet, leaving only a thin inner garment hanging loosely on her shoulders.
The last half-open belt hung in front, revealing her fair shoulders, half-covering them.
Lu Congxu's breathing became heavier, his fingertips rubbed across the smooth skin, pinched the edge of the clothes, and slowly took off the inner clothes.
The white jade-like back is completely exposed, with the beautiful butterfly bones on both sides protruding like wings. The sight slowly moves downwards to reveal a waist that is so slender that it cannot be grasped with one hand.
Lu Congxu stretched out his hand, as if stroking a priceless work of art, his fingertips slowly sliding upwards, stroking along the waistline to the spine, and finally his entire arm went around Wen Mianyu's shoulders to the front of her body, pulling her back into his arms.
He lowered his head, rested his forehead on Wen Mianyu's ear bone, and rubbed it ambiguously.
Wen Mianyu had never been in such close contact with anyone before, and the tips of her ears couldn't help but move.
"Cut!" Director Lin called a halt. "Moli, you can't move. In this dream, you're just a figment of your imagination, a phantom at its mercy. You can't respond, you can't resist, and you can't move."
"I understand." Wen Mianyu clasped his hands together, gave an apologetic smile, and his ears turned red.
Despite having prepared herself mentally for a whole day, when she actually got on stage, she found that she was still not mentally prepared.
Lu Congxu looked calm and collected. He helped her wipe the sweat off her face without blushing or getting nervous, and even used a small electric fan to blow away her sweat.
"Is this your first time filming this kind of scene? Aren't you embarrassed?" Wen Mianyu grabbed the fan and blew it herself.
"I can't take a photo with you." Lu Congxu said frankly.
"..." Wen Mianyu.
Well, she lost!
After reshooting, Wen Mianyu was ready and finally passed the shot without moving.
The next shot wasn't so easy.
Lu Congxu hugged her from behind, his warm lips pressed against the skin on her neck, and Wen Mianyu trembled all over.
She gritted her teeth and tried not to make any sound.
The masculine hormones sprayed around her.
Wen Mianyu's whole body was trembling, and her legs couldn't help but become weak. She leaned back exhausted, and was then supported by Lu Congxu.
Wen Mianyu heard him make a light sound that seemed like a smile, and the next second her body lost weight and she was picked up.
Wen Mianyu subconsciously put her arms around Lu Congxu's shoulders.
Lu Congxu took two steps to the bed, put her on it, and pressed his body down, with the tip of his nose touching hers and his thin lips close to hers, pressing down on her before she fell.
Wen Mianyu closed her eyes at a loss.
"Cut!" Director Lin called for a stop.
Lu Congxu turned over and sat up, pulling Wen Mianyu up from the bed.
Wen Mianyu's face was still red, but fortunately it was covered with foundation so it wasn't that obvious. She blinked her eyes, still in the moment of reflection, and looked a little dazed.
"Not bad." Director Lin came over and said, "Cong Xu's performance is quite brilliant, and this way of shooting is also good."
Director Lin originally planned to shoot in two takes, but Lu Congxu just took the initiative, and the result was unexpectedly good.
Director Lin is not a rigid director and has always been very accepting of this kind of improvisation.
"Do we need to take more photos?" Lu Congxu got out of bed and asked while standing beside the bed.
"No need, this mirror is fine." Director Lin said.
Wen Mianyu came back to her senses and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She realized that she was really not suitable for filming bed scenes, and the effect would probably not be as good as this time if she did it again.
After the most difficult part was filmed, the following scenes became simple. Wen Mianyu recited her lines fluently and each scene was shot in one take.
The high-intensity shooting lasted until five in the morning. Only after work was over did Wen Mianyu have the chance to touch his mobile phone and hurriedly log into Weibo to check.
The incident fermented for a whole day and the heat was unprecedented. Yao Xin finally couldn't sit still anymore and posted a Weibo an hour ago. The studio also issued a statement shortly afterwards.
I have to say that Yao Xin's public relations team is really good. They did not simply deny the accusations in Wen Mianyu's statement, but instead counterattacked each one of them in a well-organized and well-founded manner, with a mixture of truth and falsehood, which made the audience feel convinced.
As for the accusations of bullying and suppression against Yao Xin by some actors that appeared online, Yao Xin listed the time he worked with those actors one by one on Weibo, and hinted that the actors did not speak out at the time, but suddenly came forward to accuse her at this critical juncture, which was probably due to the guidance of some people.
At the end of the statement, Yao Xin summarized it in one sentence: Since her debut, she has always been serious and dedicated, and has never bullied or suppressed any colleagues. The false accusations were directed by someone with ulterior motives. She has reported the case to the police and will go through legal means to maintain her innocence.
Since Wen Mianyu's statement lacked any key evidence, public opinion was not very favorable to her and it was just muddying the waters.
After Yao Xin issued her statement, her fans were outraged and public opinion was once again controlled by Yao Xin.
Some colleagues in the circle also came out to support Yao Xin and cheered her on on Weibo.
Wen Mianyu scrolled through a few posts and didn't notice Ye Qianan getting involved, which made her a little disappointed.
She clicked on Ye Qianan's Weibo and refreshed it without much hope. To her surprise, she actually saw a message.
Just a minute ago, Ye Qianan tagged Yao Xin, cheering her up, praising her professionalism, and encouraging her to keep up the good work and perform well for everyone.
This Weibo post did not clearly indicate a stance, but its purpose was self-evident.
Soon after the Weibo post was published, many of Yao Xin's fans came to comment, and each of them sincerely thanked Ye Qianan for his care for Yao Xin.
Seeing that their idol had taken sides, Ye Qianan's fans naturally supported him. They sarcastically called Wen Mianyu a clown and praised their idol as a righteous man.
Wen Mianyu was almost dying of joy. Ye Qianan, who was good at protecting himself, was actually stupid enough to take sides. It was obvious that he really hated her, hated her so much that he couldn't hold back.
It was worth it for her to wait so long!
Wen Mianyu quickly sent a message to Xu Hong, asking her to prepare and release the ingredients in an hour.
One hour was enough for Ye Qianan’s Weibo to become known to everyone.
…
After returning to her residence in the nanny car, Wen Mianyu went back to her room and took a shower to wash off the sticky sweat on her body.
The bad thing about filming in the summer is that the weather is too hot, you sweat all day long, and your costumes will smell if you don't wash them for two days.
Wen Mianyu felt much more comfortable after feeling refreshed, and only then did she realize that she was hungry.
The intensity of filming today was too high, so we had dinner at eight o'clock, and it's already daybreak now.
It’s impossible to sleep on an empty stomach, so Wen Mianyu went downstairs to look for something to eat, and met Luo Zhifan in the kitchen who was also looking for food.
"Sister Jasmine." Luo Zhifan stood in front of the refrigerator and greeted her.
Wen Mianyu leaned over and asked, "Did you find anything to eat?"
"No." Luo Zhifan opened the refrigerator door and showed her, "The leftovers from yesterday's breakfast were thrown away by the assistant. There aren't many vegetables in the refrigerator, just a few eggs."
"Then let's fry some poached eggs." Wen Mianyu said. She was not only hungry but also very sleepy. She really didn't want to wait for the takeout any longer.
"Okay." Luo Zhifan reached out and took out four eggs. He walked over to the counter and asked before turning on the stove, "Sister Jasmine, do you like candied eggs or salted eggs?"
"Let's have salted eggs. Sweetened eggs always feel weird to me." Wen Mianyu took out two cartons of milk from the refrigerator and said, "Add some milk. Do you want yours heated up?"
"No, it's too hot. I'll just have something cold." Luo Zhifan said.
"Okay." Wen Mianyu took the milk and put it on the dining table.
Suddenly, an intoxicated voice came from outside, "Emperor Lu."
Wen Mianyu thought Lu Congxu was asleep in the room, but unexpectedly he was outside, so she ran to the kitchen window to look out.
Lu Congxu had already walked to the door, followed by two assistants, each holding something in their hands.
Chen Zui stood in front of the door and talked to Lu Congxu, "Is Mr. Lu going out to buy something?"
"Yeah, I bought some breakfast." Lu Congxu asked, "Want to eat some together?"
"No, thank you." Chenzui said.
