Chapter 140 The Nine-Year-Old Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (23)
[Fans, don't rush to speak well of your idol right now, or you'll end up getting slapped in the face! Hahahaha]
[I don't believe it. Anyone who has been tormented by studying will become incredibly ugly, and could never be as radiant as Jin Shu!]
The online comments have no effect on Jin Shu.
The whole world knows that she is going to take the college entrance examination.
At the pre-production ceremony for the new drama, the staff couldn't help but whisper among themselves as they watched Jin Shu sitting in the corner reviewing documents.
"She's putting on quite a good act; she hasn't moved an inch in half an hour."
"Maybe they really are studying hard. Don't make sarcastic remarks, or they might overhear you."
"If she actually learns even one problem, I'll rip my brain out and let her kick it around like a ball! With all this noise around, how can she possibly learn anything? She's just going through the motions."
"They're both artists. Chen Mianyi is a college graduate, a proper media university undergraduate, and in the end she has to be a supporting actress to someone like her who only graduated from high school. It's so unfair."
The staff members were talking enthusiastically.
"Nothing better to do? If you have nothing better to do, go and move the filming props out!"
A sudden, sharp shout from behind startled the group, who immediately shut up and scattered.
The director looked displeased, and Chen Mianyi, standing next to him, helplessly advised him.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"What does this have to do with you?"
“Jin Shu wouldn’t be pointed at and gossiped about even without me. Although I know it has nothing to do with me, I still feel a little sorry for Jin Shu when I hear these words.”
Chenmianyi's straightforwardness made the director look at her in a different light.
"You don't need to feel any pressure. Just act as you normally would. Jin Shu said you have a good relationship with her and insisted that I give you a chance. You definitely need to perform well and not let Jin Shu down."
Upon hearing this, a hint of contempt appeared on Chen Mianyi's face.
Jin Shu's support?
It's hilarious. How could a girl with such low cultural literacy not even reach the average level be qualified to receive "support"?
She did this simply to use the original owner's negative news to highlight herself.
Why would she support Shen Mianyi, a nobody who's universally disliked online, when there are so many positive and successful artists in the entertainment industry?
In short, Chenmian scoffed at the director's words.
The director was a shrewd man. Even though Chen Mianyi appeared calm enough, he still caught a hint of disdain on her face.
It seems that this Sleeping Will isn't as unambitious and hardworking as Jin Shu described.
Well, the contract has already been signed. As long as she acts well and doesn't cause any trouble, that's fine.
Winter in the north is dry and bitterly cold.
Almost every actor had a heater in front of them, and they were wearing down jackets while waiting for their scenes.
Jin Shu is the female lead, while the male lead, Gao Yijun, is a newcomer who just graduated from university and successfully won the role with his handsome face and 1.87-meter height.
“Teacher Jin, we will need you to mentor our artist more in the future. If he does anything wrong, just point it out. You don’t have to spoil him.”
The agent exchanged a few polite words with Jin Shu.
Gao Yijun, standing beside him, called out "Teacher Jin" in agreement.
Jin Shu smiled.
She likes good-looking people, so it's only right that she takes care of them.
The first scene filmed was the reunion of the male and female leads after ten years.
The protagonist, once a penniless hoodlum, has now become a renowned swordsman in the martial arts world.
The female protagonist's family fell into poverty, and she eventually became a tea vendor by the roadside.
The two met at a tea stall. When the female lead poured tea for the male lead, she looked up and saw a face she hadn't seen for many years. At that moment, a woman was already sitting next to the male lead. This woman was the female supporting character who had been infatuated with the male lead for more than ten years and had been by his side all these years as they roamed the world together.
Before Jin Shu's scenes begin, there are scenes between Gao Yijun and Shen Mianyi.
As a supporting female character, Shen Mianyi has been in love with Gao Yijun for many years. Every word and action of hers is meant to express her sincerity towards the male lead, but at this time, the male lead only regards her as a trustworthy younger sister.
Therefore, in this scene, the female supporting character exists only as a story driver; she has very few lines, only two sentences from beginning to end.
"Brother Zhou, why would we come to a place like this to drink tea?"
“Brother Zhou, the road ahead is still long. Your boots are worn out and don’t fit properly. Take them off and I’ll mend them for you.”
After saying these two sentences, the female lead, Jin Shu, should make her appearance.
Gao Yijun was a newcomer after all, and he was a little nervous before his real scene with Jin Shu. Just as he was adjusting his state and preparing to face Jin Shu, Chen Mianyi suddenly poured him a cup of tea, blew on it, and handed it to him.
"Brother Zhou, have some water."
Gao Yijun was taken aback; this line wasn't in the script.
But he still continued the play.
"Thank you, Yao-mei."
"Brother Zhou, you have some tea leaves on your lips. Turn around and let me wipe them off for you."
Gao Yijun was already a little dazed, but the director hadn't called "cut" yet, so he could only continue acting. The moment he turned his head, Chen Mianyi suddenly leaned over, holding a clean white handkerchief and pressing her body against him, gently and carefully wiping the corner of his mouth.
So close, he could clearly see the nervousness and shyness in the other's eyes, and the love in his eyes was revealed without any attempt to hide it, almost turning into a tangible net that completely enveloped Gao Yijun.
This intense and passionate love left everyone watching stunned.
Even the director, who had just been furious about the added scenes by the sleeping man, couldn't help but nod in approval when he saw this scene on camera.
"His acting is quite good."
The assistant director whispered to himself.
"To be honest, her acting is much better than Jin Shu's. Her eyes seem to speak volumes. Very good."
"Let's take another look."
While everyone was amazed by Shen Mianyi's natural and vivid acting, the male lead, Gao Yijun, had already blushed with embarrassment.
This scene was witnessed by Chen Mianyi, and her smile became even brighter.
Next, it was the female lead's turn to appear. As the camera zoomed in, Chen Mianyi pressed herself against Gao Yijun, making her the center of the frame. Even when the female lead appeared, everyone's attention was still on her.
The director belatedly realized this and then shifted his gaze away from the sleeping figure.
"The camera focuses on the female lead's face."
At this moment, he shouted at Jin Shu again.
"Remember this! The feeling of a long-awaited reunion: be happy! Be scared! Master this feeling!"
This is a highlight scene for the female lead.
After ten years apart, lovers reunite. The weathered heroine experiences a mix of joy, nervousness, heartache, and bitterness upon recognizing the hero at first glance.
At this moment, a multitude of emotions erupt, demanding a high level of acting skill from the actors.
