☆、Chapter 60: Talking about Drama
"Did I disturb you?" Wen Mianyu asked after a while.
She really didn't know how she had offended Lu Congxu. Apart from being a little noisy when teasing Chenzui, which the quiet-loving Lu Congxu might not like, she couldn't think of any other reason.
I originally thought that Lu Congxu had changed his opinion of her in the past two days and had gradually begun to believe in her identity.
Wen Mianyu remembered that she was still Su Moli and asked, "Am I talking too much?"
"No." Lu Congxu shook his head.
Wen Mianyu couldn't help it, so she pulled him to a stop and forced her way in front of him.
Lu Congxu didn't hide. He stared down at the overgrown tree in front of him. His expression wasn't as cold as before, but his brows were still furrowed, as if he was... annoyed? Or lost.
Wen Mianyu rarely saw him like this, and was a little anxious, "What's wrong with you? Just tell me what I did wrong, don't be angry with me."
"I'm not angry." Lu Congxu said.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly ignoring me?" Wen Mianyu held him tightly.
Lu Congxu couldn't leave, nor could he avoid it. He raised his head and said, "I'm not angry, I'm just a little confused."
"What's wrong?" Wen Mianyu asked.
Lu Congxu's voice was a little low, "Do you like him very much?"
"Who?" Wen Mianyu was stunned.
"Chenzui." Lu Congxu frowned unconsciously when he mentioned this name, "You seem to like teasing him very much."
"I..." Wen Mianyu was really a little silly. She didn't know why Lu Congxu would think like this.
Not to mention that she is a few years older than Chenzui and the others. In terms of debut time and experience, Chenzui and Luo Zhifan are just juniors in her eyes. Chenzui is always on edge with her, so she only jokes with them a few more times.
This is also the pleasure that she only has after being reborn as Su Moli. It turns out that she is the movie queen of Wen. Even if people in the circle don’t like her, they have to be respectful to her on the surface. She hasn’t met a junior like Chen Zui who dares to challenge her for a long time.
"I don't like him. I just tease him because he has a bad temper. I'm not frivolous. Don't be unhappy." Wen Mianyu thought that Lu Congxu was thinking of Su Moli pestering him, so he hurriedly explained.
Lu Congxu lowered his eyes and said, "I'm not unhappy."
"Okay, I won't tease Chenzui anymore from now on. I will behave myself from now on. Don't be angry." Wen Mianyu pulled his sleeve and said eagerly.
Being looked at like this by her, Lu Congxu's heart would soften no matter how hard it was, not to mention that he was not angry in the first place.
At first, he just couldn't control his jealousy, and then he felt annoyed. Lu Congxu felt that he was ridiculous.
Not to mention that Wen Mianyu was not with him, even if they were together, Wen Mianyu was lively by nature. Would he lock Wen Mianyu up and make her smile only at him just because of his desire to control her?
This kind of thinking is probably worse than Ye Qianan's.
Lu Congxu likes Wen Mianyu and has never thought of changing her. He just feels annoyed about his uncontrollable jealousy. He knows that he is not qualified.
He whispered, "Let's go."
Wen Mianyu breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively took his hand.
Lu Congxu did not pull away, but secretly held her tightly.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, so the two of them had been holding hands and supporting each other as they walked. Wen Mianyu didn't think much of it at first, but now she felt awkward after the quarrel, and Lu Congxu held her hand so tightly that she always felt the touch of his palm was more vivid.
Lu Congxu's fingertips were slightly cool, and her palms were a little warm. When they touched her skin, a thin layer of sweat soon formed on her.
Wen Mianyu felt inexplicably nervous and moved her fingertips uncomfortably.
"What's wrong?" Lu Congxu looked at her.
"I'm sweating." Wen Mianyu pursed her lips.
"It's okay." Lu Congxu said indifferently.
Wen Mianyu didn't move anymore. Somehow, she suddenly felt in a good mood and raised the corners of her lips.
…
The green plums on the green hills were not yet ripe at this time of year, so only wild vegetables could be picked. The group did not meet many fellow villagers on the way up the hill.
When they arrived at a dense green plum forest halfway up the mountain, Director Lin asked Group One to stop and prepare their equipment, while Group Two continued up the mountain.
Today's scenes were shot in two groups. One group was shot by Director Lin, who shot the scenes of the male and female protagonists. The other group was shot by the assistant director, who took the second group including Chen Zui and Luo Zhifan to the top of the mountain to shoot another part.
Lu Congxu and Wen Mianyu are going to shoot the scene where the male and female protagonists fall in love for the first time today.
It was plum season again, and the two childhood sweethearts came to the mountain to pick plums. Duan Xiuhua accidentally fell down from a tree and sprained her ankle. She was then carried down the mountain by Wen Yuxian.
The two met when they were young and grew up together. When Duan Xiuhua was a child, she got injured in fights with nearby kids and was often carried on the shoulders of her younger brother Wen Yuxian.
But this time, when lying on the little brother's back, Duan Xiuhua felt her heart beating fast, and for the first time she felt a different emotion.
Young boys and girls are in love for the first time. They are vague about the feelings but feel a faint sweetness. Their tacit glances at each other are filled with shyness and helplessness.
"Since Xu is older, he should understand more. You were already vaguely aware of your feelings before this. Everything that happened on the mountain this time made you more certain of your feelings."
"Jasmine is experiencing her first love, the shyness of a young girl, the confusion after realizing her feelings, and the secret joy of liking someone, all of which are expressed through her eyes."
Before filming began, Director Lin sat under a tree with the script and explained the scene to the two.
It's a matter of personal habit. Director Lin is not the kind of director who would directly demonstrate a performance and let the actors learn from it.
Director Lin focuses more on telling the actors the emotions that need to be expressed, and then lets the actors understand it on their own before performing. For important scenes, he will even ask the actors to express several different emotional states, and finally choose the shot he thinks is the best.
Lu Congxu has been in the film industry for many years and has won numerous Best Actor awards. His acting skills have always been recognized as good in the industry, and Director Lin is not worried about his comprehension ability at all.
On the contrary, it was Su Moli. Although her previous performance had amazed him, she was a newcomer after all, having made her debut in TV dramas, so Director Lin unconsciously spoke more.
"Moli, you have to pay attention. Movies are different from TV dramas. The camera is more challenging for actors to express subtle emotions. Whether crying or laughing, you can't just be superficial like in TV dramas. You have to be restrained but also show depth. I don't know if you understand what I mean."
"I understand. Don't worry, Director Lin, I won't be too exaggerated." Wen Mianyu said with a smile.
Although she started her career by acting in movies, she has also filmed TV series and even collaborated with TV actors in movies. Of course, she knows what Director Lin is worried about.
If you use the same method as you would for a TV drama to make a movie, the effect after it's shown on the big screen can be described in two words: exaggerated.
This is also the reason why many popular actors in TV dramas will not fit in well in movies. If there are other outstanding movie actors to set off the role, this exaggeration will be more obvious.
"I'm glad you understand." Director Lin sighed. "You don't know, on my last film, there was an actress who brought money into the crew. The script supervisor couldn't stand her acting. But when I explained the scene to her, she kept saying she understood it, but when the camera started, she didn't understand a thing! She didn't understand a thing at all!"
