Chapter 364 No Need for Borrowing
Shen Ning knew how chicken-fisted Xiao Chen was. He himself was never late, and he couldn't stand seeing others being late, so he wolfed down his breakfast for fear of being late.
As he was desperately stuffing food into his mouth, he heard Xiao Chen suddenly say, "Eat slowly."
Ah Cheng immediately said, "Yes, yes, eat slowly and don't choke."
When Shen Ning finished putting on her makeup, Xiao Chen had already left. His performance was earlier, so time was tight.
By the time Shen Ning went out, Xiao Chen had already started filming.
This scene is a rivalry between Prince Xiao played by Xiao Chen and the female general Hua Rong played by the heroine.
On the field, the male protagonist is tall and slender in a dark blue brocade robe, and the female protagonist is cool and beautiful in a fiery red cloak. Their rivalry is after they team up to defeat the assassin, and the female protagonist falls off her horse to protect the male protagonist, and is caught in the male protagonist's arms.
Because the scene required delicate facial expressions, several cameras were used to shoot the two of them.
With the sound of "start", the heroine was pulled off the horse by the wire and flew down. Xiao Chen stepped forward to catch her, and their eyes met...
The director called out "Cut," and then he said helplessly, "Teacher Xiao, that's the person you're attracted to. Can you look at her with a little more emotion?"
The heroine jokingly said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm ready to do it eight or ten times. After all, everyone knows that emotional scenes are our teacher Xiao's weakness."
There was some good-natured laughter nearby.
In fact, this is true. Xiao Chen's first movie was a spy film, and the movies he made later were also plot-based. Even if there were emotional scenes, they were just embellishments and there was no need to shoot too many details... But this time he was filming a TV series.
The development and throbbing of the male protagonist's emotions are very important, so they need to be filmed more carefully.
After a few minutes, it started again...and it was NG again.
Shen Ning was watching from the side and was amazed.
He is indeed a scumbag. He can act other roles fine, but he can’t act a deeply affectionate role... Because a sex maniac and a scumbag has no true feelings!
He doesn't know what true love is, so he can't act it out.
Director Zhang was also a little anxious, but he didn't want to get mad. After all, Xiao Chen had rarely done any NGs since the filming started, and he had always been very efficient, so it was hard to blame him for the occasional slip-up.
But what made the director feel relieved was that the best actor was still the best actor.
Although he couldn't act with emotion, he still had skills. After Director Zhang pointed out several times, Xiao Chen used a few small movements to help, such as stiffening his hands that were holding the heroine's waist, and looking at the heroine with a hesitant and evasive look, etc. Finally, he acted out the moment when the male protagonist fell in love.
Director Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and joked with Xiao Chen, "You have to treat me to a big dinner tonight!"
Xiao Chen nodded: "Okay."
After filming another scene, it was Shen Ning's turn in Group A.
This scene also features Chen Ning acting opposite Xiao Chen. The princess, played by Chen Ning, drugs the male protagonist, Xiao Shizi, and forcefully kisses him. After being humiliated by Xiao Shizi, she becomes angry and tortures him.
Because the male lead was drugged, Xiao Nanchen's makeup changed a bit, with blush on his cheeks and light red eyeshadow on the corners of his eyes... When the stage manager clapped the board, he leaned back on the couch, his eyes changed, and with his flushed face, he suddenly became ambiguous and hazy.
Shen Ning also immediately got into the role.
She leaned over and looked down at the man on the couch with a hazy and somewhat unconscious look, curled her lips, and reached out to pinch his chin.
"Don't you always hate me?"
The princess smiled a little crazily and slowly approached: "What now?"
She said: "I know you are suffering... Please beg me, if you beg me, I will give you pleasure..."
However, the other party just narrowed his eyes and looked at her with an embarrassed expression, but refused to say a word.
The next scene is that Shen Ning kisses him directly, and then the male protagonist who suddenly wakes up pushes him away and falls down in anger...
Before filming began, Shen Ning thought they would use a stand-in, but Director Zhang told her that it was not necessary because the kiss was just a light touch and the princess was opened by the male lead as soon as she kissed him, so Xiao Chen said that he had no problem and did not need a stand-in.
The big names had no problem, so the director naturally wouldn't accommodate a small transparent person, so he didn't ask Shen Ning's opinion at all, but just comforted her gently: "Don't be nervous, Teacher Xiao is very dedicated."
It's just a quickie, no big deal, just a sex maniac... just bear with it and it will pass.
Shen Ning pinched Xiao Chen's chin and lowered her head to get closer. At that moment, she met Xiao Chen's eyes.
His expression was dazed, but from a close distance one could see that his eyes were exceptionally deep, staring straight at her... He was clearly drugged and in a passive position, but he was like a jackal staring at its prey.
Shen Ning suddenly couldn't kiss anymore...
“Crack!”
Director Zhang shouted, "Princess, why are you hesitating so much? That's the person you've been thinking about so much, why wouldn't you be waiting for her?"
Shen Ning quickly apologized: "I was a little nervous just now, sorry sorry."
Someone nearby quipped, "Who wouldn't be nervous if they were to kiss Teacher Xiao?"
"That's right. By the way... I heard from Director Zhang that this was Teacher Xiao's first on-screen kiss."
"Ah, first screen kiss, oh my god, first screen kiss with the third girl, haha..."
"How else can he be an award-winning actor? What is professionalism? This is professionalism!"
"Haha, only little girls are nervous. If it were me, I would bite her right away... And then, sorry, director, I didn't take it right just now. Let's do it again..."
"Hahaha, then you're banned."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you and laugh at you for being unvirtuous."
"Hey, what kind of womanly virtues are these? My womanly virtues are all supported by my obesity and poverty..."
Filming started again on the scene.
Shen Ning held the man down again and leaned closer, but this time she found that Xiao Chen was not only staring at her, but also had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the smile was a little evil.
The next moment, the director clicked again.
"What's going on, huh? Do you want someone to teach you how to kiss..."
Shen Ning hurriedly said: “Well, Teacher Xiao stared at me and smiled, so I couldn’t kiss her anymore.”
The dog pervert deliberately played her, she refused to take the blame.
Director Zhang frowned and looked at Xiao Chen: "You smiled?"
Xiao Chen had no expression.
Director Zhang remembered something: "This scene originally had the male lead looking at the princess sarcastically... He's mocking you. What are you waiting for? Why don't you give him a good kiss and punish him?"
Shen Ning: ...
Okay, let's shoot again.
Shen Ning thought she was really prepared this time, but when she got closer and found that Xiao Chen's eyes fell on her lips, she felt numb again.
What the hell is this pervert looking at!
With so many people around, isn’t he afraid of exposing his true identity?
What a brave bastard!
But at the moment she hesitated, her back suddenly tightened, and she was caught off guard by Xiao Chen who pressed her down... When their lips touched, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
The people around were also shocked.
After just a moment, Xiao Chen released the man and said calmly, "I'll help you break through."
Director Zhang was at a loss for words: "Alright, we've kissed this time, can we still shoot?"
Shen Ning clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and smiled: "I can do it!"
So when the filming started again, she finally kissed him...
The next scene was that Xiao Chen pushed her away, but at this moment, Shen Ning was surprised to find that Xiao Chen's lips moved, as if he was about to open his mouth!
Just when she was shuddering and thinking that if he dared to open his mouth, she would bite him, Xiao Chen suddenly reached out and pushed her away...
Director Zhang called a halt, clearly relieved: "Finally, we kissed."
But then he frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Prince Xiao, the emotions you express are wrong. Pay attention to the application of techniques. In this scene, you should use a cold and disgusted emotion instead of staring at the princess... You act like you want to push her down instead of pushing her away. The emotion is wrong, pay attention!"
Several staff members watching nearby nodded continuously.
That’s right, the look in Prince Xiao’s eyes when he looked at the princess just now almost made people think that he was going to hug her and kiss her back.
Director Zhang sighed, "You really aren't good at emotional scenes. The princess and the heroine's emotions are reversed. This look was perfect when he just caught the heroine, but it feels a bit disconnected here and doesn't fit the character setting."
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Do you need to reshoot?"
Director Zhang sighed, "Let's reshoot this afternoon. Everyone, have lunch and rest. You can think carefully about the emotional differences in the love scenes at noon... And Princess, stop dawdling."
Shen Ning quickly responded...
Soon, the morning session was over.
Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She was just wondering about the behavior of the pervert when she heard Ah Cheng say with a smile, "Ning Ning, I bought you some food. Let's go to Teacher Xiao's lounge to eat together. Teacher Xiao wants you to rehearse again."
Not far away, several staff members pricked up their ears and looked at each other, seeing some gossip in each other's eyes.
Shen Ning frowned and said hesitantly.
She suspected that the sex maniac might not be able to pretend any longer...
