Chapter 76.1 - The long awaited bed scene
Not only were spring nights bitterly short, holidays are also bitterly short.
There was only one week of holidays and apart from the one day she spent playing games, the rest of the time was spent on practising lines with Mu Cheng.
Previously, when they rested for a month at home, they more or less understood what the script was about.
Mu Cheng was also around so when she had questions, she could ask him to clarify.
They even stumbled around and tried out the bed scene.
“Kissing all the way from the neck up …” Mu Cheng continued to read his script as he followed the script and started kissing Tang Xiao.
After a few more times, Tang Xiao felt like she wouldn"t have to NG on purpose, she"d already tried out these scenes so many times.
Every time they followed the script, they followed the actions written and the words but all of a sudden, they"d go off track.
Tang Xiao panted as she fell on the bed.
Mu Cheng on the other hand, was in a great mood.
“Are you always practising bed scenes, why are you so experienced!” Tang Xiao complained.
Mu Cheng"s face was shocked. “This all comes to me naturally. I"m not taking advantage of you, it"s just that you keep forgetting your lines.”
Tang Xiao: !!!!! You f****ing!!! Try remembering your lines in that kind of situation!!!
Mu Cheng"s face had ‘it"s not my fault" written on it.
Tang Xiao was so mad she was gritting her teeth.
When it came to the actual scene on set, Li Jinrui was actually a bit surprised.
He"d scheduled some time for Tang Xiao to NG but who knew that Tang Xiao was performing better than he expected.
In the first half, Tang Xiao played Liu Ji so well that even when she was criticising people, it made director Li"s eyes light up.
This really was a pleasant surprise.
The crown prince was too eager to get rid of the fifth prince so when he heard that there was a strategist in the Fang prefecture, he immediately sent over his subordinate, Liu Baji over.
Liu Ji wore a purple gown with cloud embroidery, so she looked elegant without compromising how glamorous she looked.
Her jet black long hair was simply swept up with a few hair pins.
She walked gracefully into the palace hall.
She walked next to the crown prince and sent away the palace maids, kneeling by his side.
“Your highness, in a few days, do you want to go to the Fang prefecture to help the emperor out? Why don"t you go and personally ask that gentleman over. Firstly, it"ll be able to show the gentleman how your highness really wants a strategist, and secondly, you can let the gentleman see that in the future, your highness will treat him well.” Liu Ji said.
The crown prince thought for a bit and thought that was reasonable. “That"s true as well, I was inconsiderate. Let them prepare.”
Liu Ji laughed, “Let Lu Jiba accompany you.”
[Lu Baji ≠ Lu Jiba, jiba = d!ck]
Mu Cheng: …..
Director Li: …..
Lu Baji"s actor: …..
Audience: ……
Tang Xiao: ????
Silence fell on the set.
Tang Xiao silently pinched Mu Cheng"s waist, reminding him to say his lines.
“Pfft ….” Mu Cheng was the first to burst out laughing, he couldn"t hold it in any more.
Tang Xiao looked at him strangely.
She didn"t say the wrong lines, and she didn"t understand what was so funny.
“What is it?” Tang Xiao asked.
“Say it again, Lu what …” Director Li couldn"t help but remind her.
Tang Xiao loudly repeated what she just said, “Jiba.”
The ‘ba" sound echoed very clearly through the whole set.
It was so clear it seemed like it hung around in the air.
Finally, Tang Xiao realised what she said. “.... why did the screenwriter come up with such a … dirty … name …”
Mu Cheng couldn"t help but correct her. “It"s Lu Baji.”
Tang Xiao: ……
Aiyo, f*** your dad.
F**** couldn"t even describe her current mood, this d.a.m.n name!
Why did they have to be called Baji!!!! [ba = eight]
There"s one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, so many numbers!
“Move the props back into position, let"s rest for ten minutes and then go again. Little Tang, ah, keep in mind the name.” Director Li held his speaker and couldn"t help but sigh again.
Afterwards, Mu Jin handed Tang Xiao some water, her face looked worried.
“... what kind of expression is that?”
“Tang Xiao, ah, I don"t know if you"ve heard of this phrase?” Mu Jin said.
Tang Xiao: ????
“If you say ‘ji", don"t say ‘ba", that"s how the cultured folk speak.”
Tang Xiao: …….
Your dad is cultured!
