The Actress is My Favorite - Chapter 62
In the end, there was no drama at all.
After the ups and downs, Xia Shutong didn’t care about filming or not, she just felt that she was so tired that she was going to die.
In the beginning, the wolf cub stayed below obediently, and said he would never move too much, but he suddenly changed his mind halfway and kept the posture just now, exhausting Xia Shutong to death.
I slept until seven o’clock in the evening, and I still couldn’t open my eyes.
After going out for dinner together, Xia Shutong immediately lay back on the bed and continued to catch up on sleep, so as to avoid any accidents due to lack of energy when filming tomorrow. Yun Feiwu succeeded once in the afternoon, and behaved well at night, and fell asleep with Xia Shutong in his arms early.
the next day.
Around nine o’clock, everything was ready to start shooting.
“Action!”
Shu Jinyu took the fruit basket and walked curiously along the winding mountain road to the direction of the farm.
She was finally going to see the woman in the farm. She was a little scared, a little nervous, and a little curious. She wanted to know what kind of person that devilish widow was in the villagers’ mouths.
A few pagoda trees were planted in the small courtyard, which was a bit gloomy, accompanied by a dog barking, a bit like a scene in a horror movie.
Shu Jinyu was extremely nervous, but he mustered up his courage and knocked on the courtyard door.
The door opened.
After seeing that delicate and beautiful woman, Shu Jinyu was stunned for a moment.
Yun Feiwu was stunned for a moment.
…
“stop!”
After the first scene was shot, Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong looked at each other, Yun Feiwu didn’t realize it, but Xia Shutong acted quickly: “Maomao?”
Yun Feiwu tilted his head, blinked in confusion, and before he could say anything, Hua Zinan called him to the monitor.
“Little Yun, don’t you think there’s something wrong with this look?” Hua Zinan pulled the camera to Shu Jinyu’s slightly dazed look when he saw Ke Yu for the first time.
“I thought it was okay when I took the picture just now, but the more I look at it now, the more I feel that the taste is not right.” Hua Zinan frowned tightly, “Yun Xiaomao, your eyes… When Shu Jinyu first met Ke Yu, it should be the kind of surprise It feels like, what she was thinking at the time was ‘there is such a beautiful woman in the village’. But you acted like you were puzzled, you seemed to be wondering ‘who is this woman’, isn’t it, Yunmaomao?”
Yun Feiwu lowered his eyes: “Well, I’m sorry. Director Hua, let’s do it again.”
She just… did make a mistake.
Obviously, she was fine when she played with Xia Shutong before, and she was fine when she watched Xia Shutong filming with others a few days ago, but when she was put on Shu Jinyu’s perspective, she was wearing Ke Yu’s costume and looking Xia Shutong who was wearing Ke Yu’s makeup, she didn’t realize it for a while.
Is she Yun Feiwu, or Shu Jinyu? Is the person in front of you Xia Shutong or Ke Yu?
Later, when she was in the play, Yun Feiwu also encountered some small problems – obviously her anchor point was Xia Shutong, right in front of her, but she couldn’t make the play.
After so many years of filming, this is the first time that Yun Feiwu has such a problem.
At this time, Xia Shutong gently embraced her waist, and said with concern: “What’s wrong? Is it… I was too tired yesterday, do you want to take a rest?”
“Ahem…” Hua Zinan coughed twice, turned her head away, pretending that she didn’t understand what Xia Shutong was saying.
Seeing Xia Shutong’s slightly red cheeks, Yun Feiwu smiled immediately: “No more. Ruan Ruan, shall we do it again?”
It must be because I was not used to filming with Xia Shutong for the first time, so I couldn’t enter the state, as long as I got used to it quickly.
During the second shoot, there were no problems during the whole process.
As soon as there was a knock on the door, the dogs in the yard barked fiercely.
Ke Yu frowned slightly. Except for the staff who came regularly to collect pork, no one had visited her for a long time, and she didn’t know who it was today.
She drove away the big dogs, made a weak expression, and opened the door timidly: “Hello?”
Standing outside the door was a girl.
The girl was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, her eyes were bright, she was delicate and beautiful, and although she was dressed plainly, she didn’t look like a villager. When the girl saw her, she was stunned for a moment, as if she was surprised by her appearance.
Ke Yu wanted to laugh a little.
Didn’t expect that apart from men, there are girls who would be bewitched by her looks?
And the girl looks like she’s from the city—is that the new support teacher?
When Ke Yu was thinking, the girl said, “Hi, I’m Shu Jinyu, a new support teacher from the village school. The school is on holiday today, so I just wanted to visit my neighbors. I bought this at the market.” Preserved fruit tastes good.”
The girl’s voice was crisp, like a lark singing in the morning.
Ke Yu didn’t react on the surface, but his heart had already set off a turbulent storm. This was the first time that someone showed pure kindness to her in the four years since she was a widow in the mountains.
In the past, those men like San Maozi were nice to her because they were greedy for her body. But Ke Yu could see that Shu Jinyu’s kindness had no purpose. Shu Jinyu is like an innocent little bird, with a kind desire to explore everything around him.
Shu Jinyu is a completely different type of person from her.
Ke Yu took a step back, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes covered by eyelashes.
She took the basket from the girl’s hand: “Thank you, my name is Ke Yu.”
Ke Yu couldn’t explain why… She felt that she was attracted by this girl after just meeting her. She seemed to like this girl named Shu Jinyu a little bit.
However, Ke Yu knew that he was an extremely bad person.
Her likes are possession, deception, teasing, and teasing.
In other words, she actually doesn’t like Shu Jinyu at all, she is just attracted by this little girl’s sunny temperament, and she happens to like women, that’s why she has the bad idea of… teasing this little girl.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Ke Yu took Shu Jinyu’s hand: “Come in and sit for a while?”
…
Immediately afterwards, there was a shot of feeding preserved fruit inside the house.
After entering the room, Shu Jinyu sat at the table and chatted with Ke Yu.
“Sister Ke, it’s delicious, would you like to try it?” Seeing that there was nothing to say, Shu Jinyu hurriedly took out the preserved fruit from the basket with a light voice.
Ke Yu’s eyes were a little timid, she weakly picked up a piece of dried fruit, and instead of putting it in her mouth, brought it to Shu Jinyu’s lips.
She wanted to see… how the little girl would react.
Shu Jinyu was taken aback.
She looked at Ke Yu’s delicate face, and suddenly many things flashed through her mind—Ke Yu also used the same smile to seduce the third man, and then put the knife on the third man’s neck, scaring him to the brim. Ke Yu has deceived many people with this kind of smile, and now he has deceived her again.
Wait, why does she know this? She is Shu Jinyu, no, she is Yun Feiwu. The person at the table who was feeding her preserved fruit was Ke…it was Xia Shutong. What are they doing? I’m filming. She is Shu Jinyu, and Xia Shutong is Ke Yu.
I see. Since she was filming, she shouldn’t know so much. She should only know… the woman in front of her, Ke Yu, is a weak dodder, not an addictive poppy.
In just a moment, Shu Jinyu’s mind returned to calm. Even Hanako Nan outside the camera did not find any problems.
She stuck out the tip of her tongue, intending to roll the candied fruit in Ke Yu’s hand into her lips, but unexpectedly, she accidentally caught Ke Yu’s fingers.
Ke Yu lowered his head, his ears turned red suddenly, but he timidly did not dare to take his hand back.
Shu Jinyu’s cheeks were also stained with a layer of blush, she was stunned, and immediately jumped away: “Yes, I’m sorry, Sister Ke! I didn’t mean it…”
“No, it’s okay.” Ke Yu withdrew his hand and wiped his clothes awkwardly.
Shu Jinyu blushed even more when he saw her wiping her hands, he was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
“Ke, Sister Ke, I’m leaving first… I’ll see you next time!” After speaking, Shu Jinyu rushed out of the room as if fleeing.
As soon as the door was closed, Ke Yu’s lips curled up into a charming smile, and his eyes sparkled even more. She walked to the back of the house, pushed open the window, and looked into the distance, and there was a small village not far below. From this angle, she can easily see the entire elementary school.
“Cut!” Hua Zinan applauded, “Passed.”
Yun Feiwu stood where he was, covering his heart with one hand, and looked into the door in confusion.
Xia Shutong came out quickly: “Maomao?”
Yun Feiwu tilted her head until Xia Shutong walked up to her and rubbed her head with one hand, the confusion in her eyes completely dissipated.
…
After finishing this segment, after lunch, we started shooting in the afternoon—Shu Jinyu’s “Spring丨Dream”.
“Action!”
Shu Jinyu almost escaped from the farm and returned to school.
Until the afternoon, when she recalled the moment when she held Ke Yu’s fingertips in her mouth, she still felt blushing and heart beating. Within a few hours, Shu Jinyu had squatted by the stream behind the school and washed his face several times.
The mountain spring water was icy cold, but it still couldn’t take away the heat on her face.
What’s wrong with me? It’s just, it’s just that I accidentally licked someone’s finger, and everyone is a girl, so what’s there to be shy about? Shu Jinyu couldn’t figure it out.
His cheeks flushed red again.
In the end, Shu Jinyu sighed heavily, and decided to take a good night’s sleep and rest, not to think about it anymore.
There are only two teachers in the village primary school. Although the other teacher Wang is also a supporting teacher, her home is in a nearby county town. Every Friday to Saturday, she will go home to rest. Now there is only Shu Jinyu in the school.
As soon as Shu Jinyu lay on the bed, he fell into a drowsy sleep.
In a blur, she felt that someone came to her.
Ke Yu gently opened the door, and sat down on the side of the bed: “Jinyu?”
The voice was soft and ethereal.
“Ke, Sister Ke? Why are you here?” Shu Jinyu sat up from the bed, confused.
“I’ll come and see you.” Ke Yu smiled softly, “Thank you for the preserved fruit, it’s very sweet, I like it very much.”
As she spoke, she stroked Shu Jinyu’s cheek softly with one hand, and tidied up the messy hair on her sideburns.
Ke Yu’s fingers were soft.
Weak and boneless.
Shu Jinyu felt that his cheeks were itchy and numb, as if he had been caressed by a feather, and his whole heart was itchy. And the body also… softened all of a sudden, with no strength at all.
It seemed that there was an electric current running around in her body. It didn’t hurt, but it made her restless.
Ke Yu’s fingers slowly moved down along Shu Jinyu’s jaw, and suddenly he pinched her chin with force, and lifted it up gently.
The corners of Shu Jinyu’s eyes became moist instantly, and she felt…she was about to suffocate.
He wanted to hide, but he didn’t have the strength, so he could only watch as Ke Yu’s charming face got closer and closer to him.
Ke Yu at this time is different from when they met in the morning. The same face, but now Ke Yu is full of aggression, which makes Shu Jinyu afraid, nervous, and somewhat… looking forward to it.
…
In front of the monitor, watching the actions of the two protagonists, Hua Zinan nodded in satisfaction.
An ambiguous, subtle, and misty dream.
That’s what she wanted.
Originally, the content of the dream should have ended here, but Hua Zinan suddenly wanted to follow the performance of the two leading actors and shoot another segment.
…
Ke Yu got closer and closer, and his warm breath fell on Shu Jinyu’s cheeks, itching.
Shu Jinyu finally gave up struggling, closed his eyes, and anxiously waited for Ke Yu’s next move.
Soon, Ke Yu’s soft lips touched hers.
Then there was a gentle tip of the tongue.
Sweet, soft, and very…delicious.
Shu Jinyu’s hand supported on the bed suddenly clenched into a fist.
No, this is not the reaction Shu Jinyu should have. She should feel nervous and afraid, not that she still has time to think about how delicious Ke Yu’s tongue and Wenjin are. This is the idea that only Yun Feiwu has. No, this familiar and beautiful feeling… The person in front of him is not Ke Yu, but Xia Shutong.
Yun Feiwu suddenly grabbed Xia Shutong’s arm, turned his back on the guest, and became strong.
Xia Shutong lied softly in her embrace, and almost made a shameful sound in her throat.
“stop!”
Hua Zinan yelled with a loudspeaker, and the sound ran through the entire set.
The two separated abruptly, panting for breath.
Yun Feiwu frowned, countless messy things flashed through his mind. She couldn’t control herself again, and got lost in the play again, and she almost couldn’t distinguish between Xia Shutong and Ke Yu again.
This time Xia Shutong didn’t notice Yun Feiwu’s strangeness because of embarrassment and shame.
Hua Zinan stared at the monitor for a long time, and finally said to the two: “Just now, Ke Yu pinched Shu Jinyu’s chin and started to shoot again. Don’t kiss, Ke Yu can simply touch Shu Jinyu’s lips.”
start again.
Ke Yu pinched Shu Jinyu’s chin and lifted it slightly.
Shu Jinyu closed his eyes weakly because of shame and nervousness. Soon, soft lips fell on her lips.
“Ugh!” Shu Jinyu let out a groan from his throat, and sat up suddenly from the bed.
she woke up.
She immediately recalled what kind of dream she had.
Shu Jinyu’s expression became exciting, she actually, unexpectedly dreamed of that delicate widow Ke Yu in the morning, and even dreamed that she almost kissed her?
What is going on? How could I have such a dream? And the object is a woman…!
Shu Jinyu felt his cheeks were scorching hot, and his head was in chaos, as if fireworks had exploded. She paced around the house in panic, but couldn’t figure it out, and finally squatted down by the stream behind the house, squatting down in a daze.
“Woo…” She was so pitiful that she was about to cry.
…
“Okay, call it a day!” Hua Zinan clapped her hands.
Yun Feiwu still looked at Xia Shutong immediately.
When filming Shu Jinyu’s one-man show at the end, Yun Feiwu quickly found her state, including in the play. The moment she saw Xia Shutong, she walked out of the play.
Although there was a little hiccup in today’s shooting at the beginning, it went smoothly overall, and the work was over before 5:00 pm.
After eating, Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu didn’t rush back to their room, but went for a walk on the playground of the village school. There are quite a few staff members who come for a walk, but they are all separated by a certain distance and do not disturb each other.
“Maomao.” Xia Shutong held Yun Feiwu’s finger, flashing through his mind all the things that happened today, and finally asked softly, “Are you in a bad mood today?”
During filming this morning, Yun Feiwu ng once, and the kiss scene in the afternoon was even more anticlimactic, not according to the script at all. Logically speaking, Yun Feiwu shouldn’t have made such a mistake. And Xia Shutong noticed that Yun Feiwu was also a little absent-minded outside the scene. Xia Shutong couldn’t help but think, was it because he didn’t control her properly on the first day of acting with her, did he accidentally affect her?
Yun Feiwu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and shook his head.
Shining brightly.
Xia Shutong pinched her fingers and shook them coquettishly: “Maomao.”
He asked again: “Is it because I didn’t perform well today and it affected you?”
“No, it’s not.” Yun Feiwu immediately shook his head, was silent for a while, and sighed, “It’s me… I can’t tell what’s wrong with me. It may be the reason why I’m filming with you for the first time. I can’t distinguish between the drama and the reality, and I can’t tell whether the person opposite is you or Ke Yu. It’s okay to be soft, I should be able to adjust to it tomorrow. I’m just not used to it today.”
Can’t tell the difference between drama and reality? Xia Shutong blinked, and immediately remembered that she had asked Yun Feiwu “will she get lost in the play”.
Generally speaking, there are two main ways for actors to enter the play and empathize with the characters in the play. The first is “empathy”, which transfers their emotions in reality to the characters. For example, when the characters are sad, the actors are not Sad because of the scenes in the play, but sad because of my own real experience. The disadvantage of this method is obvious. When the actor cannot find the corresponding emotion in reality, he may not be able to enter the state.
The second is to forget all the emotions and memories in reality, and completely put yourself into the role. This is a very talented method. The stronger the actor’s ability to substitute, the more he can enter the state and empathize with the characters in the play. But the shortcomings of this method are also obvious. First of all, when encountering an actor with better acting skills than oneself, it is easy to be suppressed, and in severe cases it may even lead to mental disorders. Even if they are not suppressed, the actors are likely to get lost in the play due to frequent participation in the play, unable to distinguish the difference between filming and reality.
Yun Feiwu’s acting has always been the second method, but she will never get lost in the play, because in reality, she has an invisible anchor, and the anchor is… Xia Shutong.
Xia Shutong not only remembered this, but also vaguely remembered that this was the method she taught Yun Feiwu when she was a child.
— “Ruan Ruan, every time I put myself into a role, I feel a little confused between the world and reality in the play, what should I do?”
— “Um… then give yourself an anchor? Like… something you like a lot? Every time you think about it, you know where you are.”
Although Yun Feiwu later received systematic teaching, and also studied at the Film Academy in college, he was considered a professional student. But she always uses the anchor method to play, and it is very useful and never fails.
After so many years, Yun Feiwu has already formed a habit. When Xia Shutong is not around, Yun Feiwu just thinks about her name, thinks about her appearance, and immediately walks out of the play. It was even easier when Xia Shutong was around, all he had to do was look at her.
But now, when Yun Feiwu’s “anchor” Xia Shutong also started acting and stood in the middle of the set with her, Yun Feiwu was a little confused.
When entering the play, she couldn’t tell whether the person in front of her was Ke Yu or Xia Shutong. When it was time to play, it was hard to tell whether it was Xia Shutong or Ke Yu. Yun Feiwu’s anchor point is Xia Shutong, not Ke Yu. When she starts to be confused, the anchor point will naturally fail.
Xia Shutong sighed softly, her memory of her childhood was very vague, she only vaguely remembered a little bit. Xia Shutong remembered that she was the one who helped Yun Feiwu come up with the concept of “anchor point”, but she didn’t remember what she thought at the time. For her, what exactly was “anchor point”.
“Maomao, bow your head.” Finally, Xia Shutong thought about it.
Yun Feiwu stopped obediently and bowed his head slightly in front of Xia Shutong.
Xia Shutong immediately reached out and rubbed her head, then hugged her into his arms again: “Maomao, I believe in you.”
Xia Shutong couldn’t make appropriate suggestions to Yun Feiwu, but she believed in Yun Feiwu, and she would stay by Yun Feiwu’s side, and face and solve problems with Yun Feiwu.
Yun Feiwu gave a heavy “hmm”, his brows and eyes curved.
The two hugged quietly on the playground for a while.
At the beginning of June, the night temperature in the mountains was still very low. Xia Shutong liked the feeling of being close to Yun Feiwu and feeling the other person’s body temperature. By moving his neck a little, he could feel Yun Feiwu’s warm breath spraying on his neck, ears, and side of his face. A little itchy, but also inexplicably reassuring.
As a result, when she turned her head, Xia Shutong saw…
The walking staff and several other actors covered their eyes with their fingers, but still looked at them through their fingers, and some of them smiled stupidly.
Xia Shutong: “…”
She blushed and took Yun Feiwu’s hand: “Let’s go back to the room.”
Yun Feiwu didn’t mind, chuckled a few times, and followed Xia Shutong’s pace.
After entering the room, the blush on Xia Shutong’s face faded, and she said to Yun Feiwu seriously: “Maomao, do you think there is something wrong with that Peng An?”
“Peng An?” Yun Feiwu blinked, “What’s wrong with him?”
“He… always looks at us, and always smiles at us. It’s okay to smile, but every time he smiles very strangely. Just now on the playground.” The more Xia Shutong thought about it, the more something was wrong, his eyebrows gradually frowned, and his face became pale. It cooled down, “Is he interested in us… no, in you?”
Xia Shutong remembered that it seemed that Peng An and Yun Feiwu had worked together before, and it was still an emotional film.
“Ah??” Yun Feiwu was stunned.
She thought about it, and it seemed that Peng An did often smile at them these days, but that kind of smile… well, it was not what Xia Shutong thought.
“Ruan Ruan, Peng An has a girlfriend.” Yun Feiwu couldn’t help laughing, “And many people of the same age in the circle know that Peng An is… well, a lily boy.”
“Huh? What does Lily Man mean?” This time it was Xia Shutong’s turn to be puzzled.
Yun Feiwu had a bright smile in his eyes.
That’s right, veteran cadre Xia Shutong is obsessed with work and doesn’t even know what flower kiss therapy is, so it’s normal if he hasn’t heard of Lily Man.
“Lily is two girls together, right?” Yun Feiwu explained with a chuckle, “Then Lily boy…”
Xia Shutong patted the bed lightly, and realized: “He is a boy who wants to become a girl and fall in love with a girl, right?”
Yun Feiwu: “???”
When Yun Feiwu was in a daze, Xia Shutong added sourly: “Maomao, Peng An is really interested in you.”
