Chapter 154 The Little Secret in the Lounge
Chapter 154 The Little Secret in the Lounge
"Ka--take a break, we'll continue later."
After the director finished shouting, he went off stage and ran to Jiang Ning's side.
Asked with concern:
"Are you not feeling well? Why are you so awkward in the photo? It looks so weird."
Seeing the scene in the viewfinder that was hard to bear, Jiang Ning immediately reacted and said with guilt:
"Oh... I didn't feel it when I was filming. Maybe I just wasn't in a good state. Thank you all for your hard work. I'll treat you all to dinner after get off work."
The director asked people to take the camera back.
"It's not a question of whether to eat or not. If you really don't feel well, we won't shoot today. Don't make it hard on yourself."
Jiang Ning shook his head repeatedly and said:
"No, no, I'm not uncomfortable. I can take the photo well. Thank you for trying again with me."
"Okay, prepare yourself well. We'll give you more time to rest this time."
The director patted her shoulder encouragingly and left again.
Things happened one after another, as if they all came to her at the same moment, and for a moment she didn't know where to start solving them.
"Forget it, let's deal with the current situation first."
Jiang Ning picked up the script again and reviewed it again, trying to drive all the unimportant things out of his mind.
Fully immerse yourself in the state of mind.
"Okay, let's do it again."
The director sat back in his seat and asked everyone to get ready.
"All departments, get ready! "Love in the Red Dust Evening" Act 59, Scene 2! Action!"
The heroine played by Jiang Ning took out her elixir and saved the second female lead. In the process, the two were moved by each other's friendship and developed feelings for each other, which led to the new plot that followed.
If the performance is not good on stage, you will need to make up for it in the recording studio later.
This process was not pleasant for Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning did not want to go through it again.
For the last line, she almost used all her strength to shout out:
"Thank you for coming into my life. My mission is over if I can do this for you."
Accompanied by the sad and desolate BGM, this scene officially ended, completing the filming perfectly.
During the break, Jiang Ning opened his mobile phone. All kinds of messages, whether useful or useless, almost overwhelmed Jiang Ning.
"What? When did I add so many useless people?"
She continued to scroll down while looking at it with disdain, because she still had to manually filter out useful information from this pile of junk information.
"Hey, what are you looking at? It's so good, let me see it too."
When Jiang Ning was watching attentively, suddenly a hand patted her from behind.
"Ah! What?!"
It gave her a fright.
She looked back and saw the cute girl she saw during the day, Li Xi.
Seeing this, the girl immediately apologized to Jiang Ning politely:
"I'm sorry, I accidentally scared you, are you okay?"
Jiang Ning also calmed down his emotions, restored his original state of mind, and comforted her:
"It's okay, it's okay, what do you want to talk to me about?"
In fact, Jiang Ning was still thinking about her in his mind just now, but he didn't expect that she would appear in front of Jiang Ning at this moment.
Well, how come this isn't telepathy?
Li Xi hesitated:
"Well, nothing much. It's just that the following plot is about the two of us, so I wanted to discuss it with you. Didn't you say this morning that I could come to you if I had any questions? I wonder if you are free now."
Jiang Ning put his arm around her shoulders and said to her:
"Oh, I'm free now. Come with me. Let's discuss this somewhere else. It's not convenient here because there are so many people."
She took her to an empty lounge.
There was only one window inside, and it was not open. In this hot summer, it was like a steamer.
Jiang Ning walked over and turned on the air conditioner.
"It's a bit hot, maybe turning on the air conditioner will make it more comfortable."
Li Xi also replied very politely:
"Okay, thank you, senior. You're sorry for your trouble."
Jiang Ning walked over to her and simply cleaned up the debris on the table, making it barely presentable.
While cleaning up, he answered her:
"Oh, don't call me that. I'm not that old. It makes me feel a little old when you call me that. Hahaha, I'm just kidding. Don't mind it."
The two of them sat on the same sofa, very close to each other. They didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere became a little weird.
In the end, it was Jiang Ning who spoke first:
"Hurry up and tell us now. The lunch break is very short and the director's pace is fast. He won't leave you much time for a scene. It's best to get it right in one take."
Li Xi nodded seriously.
In his defense:
"Oh, this is my first time filming here, I'm still a little uncomfortable, thank you for reminding me."
Jiang Ning didn't want to listen to her so-called clichés at all. He just wanted to end the topic as soon as possible, so he took the initiative to lead her in another direction.
"Okay, stop talking so much and start asking questions."
"Although my character only appears briefly, I will definitely take it seriously. I would like to ask, what is the relationship between my character and your character, or what kind of feelings does he have towards you?"
After hearing his question, Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment in disbelief.
Because she herself has never thought about it in this regard.
What kind of love story can there be between a nameless and unimportant minor character and the heroine?
So Jiang Ning told Li Xi everything she was thinking:
"Emotions? I haven't thought about it in that way. I think you'd better not think too much about it. Maybe returning to basics is the best for you. If you really want to add some emotional drama to it, then I think it might be admiration."
Such a perfunctory answer still received Li Xi's affirmation.
She nodded repeatedly and praised:
"Okay, thank you, Senior. If it weren't for this drama, I probably wouldn't have the chance to meet someone as amazing as you."
Jiang Ning was also willing to do this favor and encouraged her with the topic just now.
"Good question. From this question I can tell that you are a talented actor. If you work hard, you will have a place in the entertainment industry sooner or later."
However, Jiang Ning herself did not expect that her casual words would be regarded as treasures.
Li Xi's eyes sparkled, and then he looked at Jiang Ning firmly and said:
"Well, then I will try to get into the same university as you, and then I will be your junior!"
Seeing that Jiang Ning seemed unmoved, she took the initiative to move forward:
"Let's make a pinky promise! It's a deal!"
Although Jiang Ning was a little reluctant to agree, he finally stretched out his little finger and said a word lightly:
"it is good."
"But you have to work harder." Jiang Ning smiled.
Li Xi nodded vigorously, as if to cheer himself up.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, breaking the silence.
"Come in." Jiang Ning said.
A staff member came in with a document, "Teacher Jiang, this is the script to be filmed this afternoon, please take a look first."
Jiang Ning took the script and glanced over it.
"In the afternoon... there is actually a kissing scene." She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Li Xi's face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and clenched her hands.
Jiang Ning noticed her reaction and said with a smile:
"Don't be nervous, it's just acting. And this type of script generally won't be played by newcomers in a short period of time, so you can rest assured."
Li Xi raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Well, I will try my best!"
However, the strange feeling in Jiang Ning's heart before became more obvious.
Why was it such a coincidence? Why did God send another person with the same name to her?
She couldn't figure it out.
After the staff left, the lounge became quiet again.
Li Xi moved his body towards Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn't understand at first what she was trying to do.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Li Xi spoke:
"Senior, can you not tell anyone about what happened today? Just treat it as a secret between us."
Jiang Ning subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her face, and said to her:
"I thought you were going to say something important. Don't worry, no matter who comes with me, I will keep it a secret and won't tell anyone."
"good.??(???????)??"
