I have to say, the flattery from the crew is really amazing.
Li Yining couldn't help but chuckled and looked at the man.
The rest of the people also expressed their opinions.
"Teacher Li is so beautiful!"
"Mr. Li's legs are too thin."
"Ahhhhhh Teacher Li is the joy in my heart."
"Teacher Li is so pretty!"
Li Yining smiled and looked at everyone: "Thank you, thank you."
"Everyone is exaggerating."
Someone quickly said, "It's not an exaggeration at all. Teacher Li, don't you know how beautiful you are?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Wang came over from the side and laughed: "Your teacher Li may really not know."
Li Yining: “…”
Jiang Yuan also came out of another dressing room after finishing her styling. The moment she saw Li Yining, she couldn't deny that she was struck by beauty.
He stared at it for two seconds, his eyes flickering slightly, and only looked away after being reminded by the agent.
The agent looked at him and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Yuan said nothing.
The agent said angrily, "Remember, don't get involved with Li Yi Ning. Apart from filming, be more careful the rest of the time."
After saying that, he looked at his assistant Sun Ping and said, "Keep an eye on him."
Sun Ping nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Yuan was helpless about his agent's behavior, but he didn't say anything else.
After completing the styling, the first scene is naturally the one for the male and female protagonists.
Moreover... I don't know if the director didn't understand the idiom of gradual development, and he didn't give Li Yining and Jiang Yuan much time to prepare and communicate. The very first scene was a scene with deep interaction between a man and a woman.
The two of them were sitting in the classroom, secretly holding hands and making love.
Because it was their first time, they were a little nervous, trying to show the excitement and shyness of a young girl, but nervous at the same time. Anyway... this scene was in the novel, right after they started talking about their relationship, on the second day after they got together.
The director said, looking at the two of them and asked, "Is there any problem with filming this scene?"
Jiang Yuan paused and said softly, "No problem."
Li Yining: “…No problem.”
Even if she had questions, she wouldn't dare to say them, not to mention that this was indeed just a movie filming. Thinking of this, Li Yining became more open-minded.
…
Ten minutes later, Director Wang glared at the two of them and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Which newly-in-love couple would look at each other with such strange eyes?" He looked at Li Yining: "Li Yining, there's something wrong with your eyes. The way you look at Jiang Yuan is not with admiration or love, but with disgust..."
Director Wang paused for a few seconds and quickly added: "In short, I know you and Jiang Yuan are not familiar with each other yet, but this is acting, you have to put yourself into it, think of yourself as the heroine, and like Jiang Yuan very much. It was you who was chasing after him vigorously before, not someone else. Do you understand?"
Li Yining: “…I understand.”
She quickly said, "Sorry, Director, I need to sort out my emotions."
Director Wang said "hmm" and turned to look at Jiang Yuan: "You——"
He said one word, and then he didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, Director Wang said, "Integrate a little more. Your emotions just now were not in place."
Jiang Yuan: “Okay.”
After a five-minute break, Li Yining's eyes were still not in place.
Director Wang no longer scolded her.
Li Yining felt extremely ashamed, but when she saw Jiang Yuan's face, she couldn't show her love for him.
Whenever she thought about the things that happened to the original owner, she really couldn't feel like liking him.
But filming is filming.
Li Yining tried to eliminate Jiang Yuan from her mind, especially those things that made her uncomfortable, and tried her best to let him integrate.
Director Wang looked at the two of them and said, "You both seem to be in a bad mood. Take a break for half an hour. There's no rush."
He looked at Li Yining and said, "Ningning, come here. I'll tell you about the play."
"……good."
Li Yining followed, holding the script.
"Director, I'm sorry."
Director Wang laughed and said, "What are you sorry for? I did it on purpose to see how your relationship is. But I can see through this scene... What the netizens said is not true."
He looked at Li Yining with a smile: "Everyone says you like Jiang Yuan, why do I feel that you hate Jiang Yuan?"
Li Yining choked.
She laughed, shook her head and said, "It's not that I hate it, I just don't like it."
Director Wang was speechless. He looked at her for a long while and said, "You are really straightforward. Aren't you worried that your words will be exposed?"
Li Yining blinked: "The director can't be so gossipy, right? If so, I won't tell the director next time."
Director Wang: “…”
He shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "To be honest, I was the one who got the male lead role."
Li Yining: “…Oh.”
Director Wang said: "When I saw the script, the first person I thought of was you. Your image of a young lady in that web drama was so vivid, and it suits this role. As for the male lead... I know Jiang Yuan and you have some other relationship, but to be honest, he is suitable for this role and his acting skills are also in place."
He said: "It's the character in everyone's mind."
Li Yining remained silent.
The director was quiet for a while, then looked at her and said, "Do you understand what I mean? The male and female protagonists will not change. You still have a lot of sweet scenes with him in the future. Put aside your personal grudges and put yourself in the role."
"I know Jiang Yuan is not someone you like, but at least when you are acting with him, you can see him. Thinking about someone you like will make you feel a little better."
At the end, Director Wang's tone became stern: "Come on twice later, or you'll be scolded!"
Li Yining: “…”
After resting for half an hour, both of them calmed down.
This time, once and for all.
When Director Wang shouted "Cut", Li Yining breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yuan was a little surprised. Li Yining's acting just now was like his Ren and Du meridians were suddenly opened. That look... was the look of seeing someone you like.
Director Wang glanced at the two of them, then filmed three scenes in one go before calling it a day.
"Ningning performed well. Her acting skills are indeed good."
"Of course, Jiang Yuan is also okay."
He looked at the two and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. Your performance today is over."
Li Yining smiled and looked at the staff around him: "Thank you for your hard work, director."
Everyone: “It’s not hard!”
Xiaoyu happened to come out here and said with a smile: "Sister Ningning has ordered afternoon tea for everyone, let's have some together."
"Wow! Teacher Li is so nice."
"Wuwuwu Ningning, how did you know I wanted to eat dessert?"
"Teacher Li is like a timely help!"
…
Li Yining was so amused that he was laughing uncontrollably.
She smiled with her eyebrows curved, looking gentle and lovely, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Suddenly, she met Jiang Yuan's face.
The smile on Li Yining's face remained, but he glanced past with a cold look.
Lin Yuan watched from the side, terrified.
"Ning Ning!"
Li Yining turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Come over and eat. Let's eat together."
Li Yining chuckled: "Okay."
She sat with Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan is a lively person who talks a lot, a bit like Meng Leqiao.
When they were recording the third episode of Who is the real murderer, Meng Leqiao was finally not the murderer, and then she kept talking.
The director warned them through their earphones, so she stopped.
After sitting down, Li Yining took a look at the afternoon tea that Xiaoyu had ordered.
In fact, she had talked to Huo Shen first, asking where to have a good afternoon tea. Huo Shen directly asked Uncle Xu to give Xiaoyu an address, and told her to just order whatever she wanted and have someone deliver it.
That’s how we got here.
Lin Yuan ate and couldn't help but said, "It's so delicious."
She took a look and asked: "Which store is this from?"
Li Yining: "...Look, I didn't notice."
Lin Yuan: “…”
The two were chatting happily on one side, but Jiang Yuan was not feeling so good.
He looked at Li Yining vaguely, and he felt that this man had changed a lot.
Of course - it is also possible that he has never understood Li Yining.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan curled his lips.
The agent half-squinted his eyes, looked at him, and suddenly sat down opposite Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan: “…What are you doing?”
Agent: "I haven't asked you yet, what are you looking at?"
He warned in a low voice: "I will be leaving soon. Remember, don't get involved with Li Yining. Haven't you been scammed enough?"
Jiang Yuan said nothing.
The agent said coldly: "Now you see what she means." He paused and added a reminder: "Also, don't forget that you and Tong Ran have a lot of c fans now. I will talk to Tong Ran's agent and ask her to arrange for Tong Ran to visit the set. You stay away from Li Yining."
"I don't want to see any private interactions between you on the Internet."
Jiang Yuan paused and took a sip of the coffee that was brought to him.
The taste is not too bitter, just the right amount of sweet.
His throat rolled, and after taking another sip, he responded, "Got it."
Seeing him like this, the agent didn't say anything more.
If I say too much, Jiang Yuan might rebel, so I'd better stop at the right time.
Li Yining didn't know about the changes in Jiang Yuan. After chatting with Lin Yuan for a while, she took out her cell phone, took a picture of the food in front of her, and sent it to Huo Shen.
Li Yining: [Look.]
Huo Shen responded promptly: [I saw it, is it delicious? ]
Li Yining: [It tastes good, but you’ll gain weight if you eat too much. ]
Huo Shen: [You are not fat. ]
Li Yining: [But you will get fat!!]
Huo Shen: [Being a little fatter is better. ]
Li Yining was speechless.
Men always say that it's better to be a little fatter, but if she really gains weight, it's okay if she gains five or ten kilograms. She is thin now, but if she gains twenty kilograms, Huo Shen will definitely not say that it's better to be a little fatter.
Li Yining pursed his lips and chatted with him in a disdainful manner.
Huo Shen was busy, but he always responded to Li Yining's messages as soon as possible.
After the two chatted for a while, the crew's afternoon break was over, but the next part was not Li Yining and Jiang Yuan's, but the two supporting actors'.
Because of the weather, the two were also dragged to take makeup photos to be used for subsequent promotions.
After taking the promotional photos, Li Yining and Xiaoyu returned to the hotel.
After the show, she and Jiang Yuan didn't communicate at all. Of course - she didn't need to.
"Sister Ningning, what are we having for dinner?"
Li Yining thought for a moment and said, "I had a seafood feast with Sister Song last night, so let's just eat whatever we want today. What do you want to eat?"
"I can do anything."
Finally, the two decided to eat local specialties as usual.
However, it was no longer a seafood dinner. Li Yining wanted to eat spicy food, so he ate some stir-fried dishes with Xiaoyu before returning to the hotel.
When she went online at the hotel, the comments saying that she and Jiang Yuan were a good match had disappeared.
Under her Weibo, and under the topic that has already been posted, the comments at the front row are all about how beautiful she is.
Li Yining wanted to laugh when he saw it, so he sent a screenshot to Huo Shen.
A few minutes later, Huo Shen's video call came.
"Are you done?"
Li Yining was very surprised: "You actually have time to call me."
Huo Shen laughed and looked at his wife: "Do you dislike me for not calling you often enough?"
Li Yining blinked and said playfully, "I didn't say that."
Huo Shen smiled: "How do you feel today?"
"It's okay..." Li Yining said unconfidently, "My first scene was stuck for a long time."
Huo Shen raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
Li Yining thought about it and didn't hide anything from Huo Shen: "Director Wang asked me and the male lead to perform a scene after the confession of love in the first scene. I couldn't act out the affectionate feeling, and then I was scolded."
Huo Shen was slightly startled and looked at her: "Why can't you act anymore?"
Li Yining didn't even think twice and blurted out, "Because the person opposite is not you."
