Chapter 561: Impeccable Acting Skills (5)
“Is s.h.i.+ Sui is going to shoot a scene with a female star? Really?”
“I can’t imagine it. Back then, the scene of him making eye contact with Zhong Yi was flirtatious enough. If they were to do an intimate scene this time, it will be even more sensational…”
“It seems to be true, but I heard that the script has been changed and the actress has great financial power. She joined the team with five investment sums!”
“Wow, she’s so incredible.”
“Exactly…”
“Hehe, maybe there are more than five people…”
“…”
There were several staff members whispering and gossiping in the pantry, giggling happily from time to time.
Someone suddenly hollered, “Some people are just so foul-mouthed. How annoying and shameless!”
The few of them were speechless.
A man who was sitting up on a nearby lounge chair, took off the script and jacket covering his face. It turned out that he was Fu Jiayan, who played the main character in “The Way”!
The man had yet to remove his makeup and his hair was as dark as ink. His hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall and his suave eyebrows exuded an ancient charm which didn’t overwhelm his liveliness.
Resting his forehead in his long and slender fingers, Fu Jiayan yawned lazily and said, “Sorry, I was rehearsing my lines. Did I disturb you?”
The faces of the gossipmongers changed slightly. They had at least worked with the crew of “The Way” for a long time and read the script thoroughly. Hence, they knew that the male lead didn’t have such lines in his script.
Fu Jiayan was undoubtedly just scolding them.
However, despite knowing what was going on, they didn’t dare to offend him, the male lead who had a bright future as a star. Hence, they had no choice but to play along with a stiff smile.
“Mr. Fu, your script-memorizing skills are incredible!”
“Mr. Fu, why don’t you go back to the dressing room to rest? This chair is going to hurt your back if you lie on it for a long time!”
“Hahahaha Mr. Fu, what are you talking about? We’re afraid that we will disturb you from rehearsing your lines!”
They few of them made up some excuses and hurriedly slipped away.
Fu Jiayan humphed coldly and remarked scornfully, “Psht! How dare you badmouth Xiang Yi!?!”
After shooting a few scenes with s.h.i.+ Sui and pulling all-nighters for filming the last few nights, he felt overwhelmed by the pressure and was too lazy to return to the dressing room to rest. Hence, he chose to just lie down here.
He didn’t expect to have overheard those conversations.
Fu Jiayan lowered his head and sent a message to Director Zheng.
Soon, the few staff members who badmouthed Xiang Yi were all “asked to leave” the set.
They looked at each other like they were struck by lightning.
They wondered, ‘Why…why?!’
…
…
The film set.
The venue was set in an ancient building where the interior furniture had basically been removed so it was very s.p.a.cious and clean.
There was a red veil, which seemed like a faint layer of mist. It was very contrasting and when the fan blew at it, it fluttered gently like flowing water.
Director Zheng was supervising the final adjustment of the lighting. The warm tone of the dim light made the atmosphere even more ambiguous than ever.
His eyes lit up when he saw s.h.i.+ Sui and Xiang Yi coming over.
The first thing that surprised him was the ancient costume that Xiang Yi was wearing.
He was initially worried that Xiang Yi’s looks may not be suitable for the ancient costumes but he was surprised to see how good she looked. The ancient costume didn’t seem to be conflicting with her clothes either.
The red dress resembled flame that outlined her slender body.
Her eyeliner was slightly elongated and her eyes were beautiful, demonic, but not tacky in any way. It encapsulated her ravis.h.i.+ng beauty.
A description suddenly came to Director Zheng’s mind.
A clean demon.
Those words, which should never be put together, seemed to be fused perfectly when used to describe Xiang Yi.
He had a flash of inspiration and he immediately changed his filming plan and made new arrangements for it!
“Xiang Yi, I have a new idea for the scene! How about we let s.h.i.+ Sui seduce you?!”
