Chapter 57: Confrontation
The piano scene was filmed smoothly, and finally met Xue Yunfei's requirements. The other actors took their places and continued to film other scenes, only Liu Lan was free. Ye Zian told her that she could go back to the hotel to rest, or stay on the set to learn and watch other actors' performances.
Liu Lan chose to stay. Her next two scenes were full of conflicts and emotional outbursts, and she really needed to be open-minded and ask for advice.
The next scene - after watching the excellent duet performance of Duan Nanfeng and Ji Ning, Gu Qing noticed Duan Nanfeng's feelings for Ji Ning and confronted Duan Nanfeng backstage to declare his ownership of Ji Ning. Unexpectedly, Ji An, who came to the school with his parents to watch the performance on the open day, saw it.
Change of scene, backstage of the concert hall.
Qiao Xin and Tang Tu have already taken their positions.
"Start," Ye Zian gave the order.
"Why are you blocking my way?" Tang Tu frowned and looked at Qiao Xin in front of him, a hint of impatience flashing across his cold eyes.
"Cheers for you. I didn't expect that you and Ji Ning's ensemble was quite good," Qiao Xin pretended to clap his hands perfunctorily and praised Tang Tu in a sarcastic tone, "You are the top student in our grade. You are good in everything, moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor. The problem is, how can there be such a perfect thing in the world, and you have it all? God really found the problem."
Tang Tu snorted coldly, "Oh, so you are here to show off your power."
...
...
"What can I brag about?" Qiao Xin said, with a hint of pride in her eyes. "Ji Ning and I live under the same roof now. I am proud of her."
Qiao Xin emphasized the words "living under the same roof".
Sure enough, Tang Tu, who had always been patient and self-controlled, clenched his fists and said, "She is your sister."
"We are not related by blood, but I didn't expect that my stepfather actually has a daughter who is so outstanding and not like him at all. Fortunately, she returned to China and I met her," Qiao Xin said with a thankful tone, and suddenly provoked Tang Tu deliberately, "Do you know? Our bedrooms are next to each other. Not only can we meet at school, but we can also see each other every day when we wake up and before going to bed. We are together day and night..."
"Shut up," Tang Tu's tone was cold and his eyes were angry.
"Why are you angry?" Qiao Xin took a small step towards Tang Tu, deliberately getting closer to him. Tang Tu was 180cm tall, and Qiao Xin was 4cm taller than Tang Tu, so he could stare at him from above with ill intentions. "Eh? Do you like Ji Ning?"
Tang Tu remained silent, but looked at him without fear.
"Don't dare to admit it? You don't want to admit that you were finally defeated by me and became my defeated opponent? Watching the girl you like gradually fall in love with someone else, it must be hard to bear, right? This time, God didn't love you well and let Ji Ning and I like each other..."
"Yes, I like her." Tang Tu was indeed irritated by Qiao Xin. His eyes turned red and he angrily said to him, "What are you so proud of? Ji Ning is too naive. You just relied on your relationship with her to deceive her with flattery and sweet words. She will wake up one day."
"What did you realize? Did you find out that you're my secret admirer? Or are you still a loser?" Qiao Xin sneered, "Are you willing to take over my business?"
This sentence completely ignited Tang Tu, and he raised his hand and punched Qiao Xin in the face.
"You bastard."
"Stop," Ye Zian called for a halt. He said to Tang Tu and Qiao Xin, "The fight was too fake. Tang Tu, you didn't handle your forbearance and outbursts well. Qiao Xin's expression when he was beaten was also wrong. Imagine that you two are now high school students, 16 or 17 years old, full of vigor and competitive spirit. You can't be too mature. You have to feel a little childish."
Usually, such slapping scenes are done with a substitute, or just a light hit. Qiao Xin is Tang Tu's senior, so Tang Tu doesn't dare to really hit him.
Ye Zian said, "Do it again."
But after rehearsing it three times in a row, Ye Zian was still not satisfied with the fighting scene and became a little angry. "You two are both good actors. How come such a simple face-slapping scene can't be done well after three or four retakes? Each one of them only slows down my progress. We could have finished the campus part today, but you have to drag it until tomorrow?"
When the serious Ye Zian gets angry, he looks scary. The whole set becomes quiet and other staff members dare not utter a word.
"Director Ye, I've never filmed a fight scene before, so it's hard for me to control the intensity," Tang Tu took the initiative to admit his shortcomings to Ye Zian, "I used a borrowed shot just now, and you weren't satisfied."
"Don't use borrowed positions anymore, just hit him for real," Ye Zian was probably too angry and gave such an order.
Tang Tu and Qiao Xin were both stunned.
