After the group arrived at the Heartbeat Hut, they each found an empty seat and sat down, and began to greet each other.
Shen Rong was sitting on one side of the sofa, and sitting opposite him was the love mentor of "Heartbeat Index".
He carefully looked at Lu Ning's face and eyes exposed outside the mask, and suddenly said, "There is a saying that has been circulating in the news circle, that fame can nourish people."
Seeing his gaze on her face, Lu Ning said "Hmm?" faintly.
Shen Rong sat upright and said slowly, "I used to sneer at this statement, but after meeting Teacher Lu, I agree with it."
As a successful young entrepreneur, Shen Rong has long developed the ability to speak in a way that suits people and in a way that suits ghosts. He rarely speaks nice words, but when it is time to speak nice words, he can also speak in a flowery way.
Shen Rong praised, "Teacher Lu is more graceful than ever before."
Hearing this unabashed praise, everyone present had the same expression.
Lu Ning's expression was calm, as if he was already accustomed to such scenes.
Shen Chuchun's face was full of anger. She and her cousin grew up together, and she knew her cousin best. She knew that Shen Rong had high standards and was stingy with words of praise. Even though she was his cousin, she had never heard a word of praise from him.
But he did not hide his admiration for Lu Ning.
Lu Ning said calmly, "Mr. Shen, thank you for your praise."
I agree with what Mr. Shen said.
Teacher Lu seems to have become more handsome!
It's hateful that Professor Lu has been in the circle for two or three years, but he doesn't have many works, so I can't even get food elsewhere.
When can Professor Lu wear a mask
I want to see Teacher Lu’s face.
Shen Chuchun interrupted with a look of delight, "Cousin, she's wearing a mask, so you can still see her beauty clearly?"
Shen Rong said calmly, "Beauty is in the skin and in the bones. Teacher Lu's graceful demeanor can naturally be seen through the mask."
Shen Chuchun was convinced, "You are here as my parent, why do you keep praising Teacher Lu?" If he was going to praise someone, he should praise her, his cousin, right
She pointed at the wheelchair under her and said, "Cousin, I have been spending most of my time in a wheelchair recently. Don't you have anything to say to me to comfort me?"
Shen Rong glanced at her and said, "You went out to swing on the swing wearing high heels. Who will get sprained if you sprain your heels?"
Shen Chuchun said aggrievedly, "How can a girl wear high heels? Only wearing high heels can make you look pretty."
Shen Rong frowned slightly, and said with an expression of approval, "Is there a time and place for wearing high heels?"
Shen Chuchun didn't dare to say anything else. She didn't know why, but her cousin seemed to be getting less and less patient with her. In the past, even if she was dissatisfied with her in her heart, she would still tolerate her slights on the surface.
It was early at this time, so after a brief exchange of greetings, everyone returned to their rooms. As soon as they returned to their rooms, Shen Chuchun called his grandfather.
She must report Shen Rong to her grandfather.
As a family member, how could he expose her in front of outsiders
As soon as the call was connected, Shen Chuchun said with a grievance, "Grandpa, my cousin has been very mean to me recently. Please help me talk to him."
Shen Chuchun originally thought that her grandfather, who always loved her, would definitely stand by her side, but she didn't expect that this time, her grandfather would just say in a businesslike manner, "Chunchun, you've grown up, you should be more sensible."
Shen Chuchun's face was full of anger.
Wearing high heels means you are sensible
After hanging up the phone, Shen Chuchun sat on the bed, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Whether it was her cousin or her grandfather, their attitudes towards her had changed slightly unconsciously. However, she didn't even know the reason for their change of attitude.
She didn't want to disturb her sick mother, but she had no one to confide her sorrow to.
At this time, she looked at the clear spring on her wrist.
This tattoo-like thing suddenly appeared on her body two days ago. She originally thought it was a prank from the program crew, but soon she realized it was a prank.
After binding this portable space, she soon knew its function - to plunder the fortunes of others and gain beauty and good luck for herself.
And the person who robs the fortune will become more and more unlucky until he dies.
She was half-believing and half-doubting about this.
Fortune is a very mysterious thing. She believes in science and doesn't believe in such metaphysical things.
But the word "become beautiful" deeply tempted her.
Ask yourself, which girl doesn't want to be beautiful? Anyway, she wants to be beautiful and become more and more beautiful. As a girl, her pursuit of beauty is endless.
So, she took the first step, bound Lu Ning, and tried to touch her and plunder her fortune.
Unfortunately, her first attempt failed. Not only did she fail to touch Lu Ning, she also sprained her ankle.
However, after her cousin praised Lu Ning in front of everyone tonight but scolded her for not doing it at the right time and place, her desire to become beautiful and her desire to see Lu Ning suffer seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Lu Ning knew that Shen Chuchun was deeply concerned about her because of Shen Rong. But even if she knew, she would not take it to heart.
Shen Chuchun's hostility towards her was very obvious. Even if she did everything, Shen Chuchun would not be able to get along with her in a friendly manner.
Lu Ning was thinking about the things in her portable space, so she fell asleep again that night.
Although she had just experienced an injury on the back of her hand last time, and Jing Yi kissed the bloodstain on the back of her hand clean, but the embarrassment lasted only for the length of the dream, so she felt that the problem was not serious.
This time when he entered the dream, Lu Ning went directly to a deep forest in the mountains.
It was her first time in such a place, and it was obviously late at night.
It was a bit cold in the mountains at night, and the wind blew on her body, bringing a chill. Lu Ning subconsciously wrapped his arms around himself.
Although it is a bit cold, the air here is fresh, the environment is beautiful, and there is a scent of grass in the air. Lu Ning simply regarded this dream as a trip.
It just so happened that she had never traveled outside since she transmigrated into the book. She had not been able to realize her dream of traveling in reality, but she had realized it in her dreams.
Lu Ning was quite timid, and she knew clearly that this was a dream, so even though she was alone in the deep mountains and forests with no one around her, she did not feel the slightest bit of fear.
She even looked around in a good mood.
The sky here is beautiful, without any industrial pollution, the sky is clear and full of stars. The ground is full of well-known small flowers. At this time of year, there are not many mosquitoes in the mountains, but it is a good place to relax.
Lu Ning wandered aimlessly in the mountains. Slowly, she seemed to hear vague human voices coming from afar.
"Jing Yi, a good actor must try a variety of roles."
"As an actor, you have to make sacrifices. You know, many people in the industry have sacrificed their first screen performance just to win an award."
"Exposing your back, that scene, it's a big deal, let alone just a kissing scene?"
"I'm telling you, don't feel too burdened by kissing scenes. And don't take it too seriously. It's just art, art, you know."
"Think about it, which outstanding actor has not devoted himself to art?"
At this point, Lu Ning probably had a clear idea of the current situation.
Maybe the director wanted Jing Yi to devote himself to art and give his first screen kiss, but Jing Yi always refused to agree. So, the two of them remained in a stalemate.
Lu Ning had searched for Jing Yi's works before. If she remembered correctly, Jing Yi had never filmed a kissing scene.
So this time, the director obviously failed to persuade Jing Yi.
Thinking of this, she slowly approached where they were talking, ready to watch the excitement from the side.
But she was lucky. As soon as she got close to that side, she stepped on a branch.
The branches broke, making a crisp sound.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Lu Ning suddenly barged in. When she was hesitating about what to say, Jing Yi slowly spoke, "Director, you are right."
When the others heard this, they quickly turned their gaze from Lu Ning back to Jing Yi.
Jing Yi coughed lightly and said, "I've thought about it. If you want to be an excellent actor, kissing scenes are indeed an indispensable part." After saying that, the director's face was full of satisfaction. Jing Yi lowered his eyes, blushing and warm-hearted.
He never expected that this dream would be like this.
This scene in the dream happened when he first started making movies. At that time, he had just graduated from college and was still a relatively new figure in the entertainment industry, with little experience and no works.
This movie was invested by his grandfather for him, and the producer was his grandfather, so naturally, the male lead fell on him. Others knew him well, only that he was a young actor who had just entered the industry not long ago.
The director of this film is a man who strives for perfection. He feels that even if this is a movie about the male protagonist's upgrading, it should also influence the male protagonist to experience a romantic experience at a certain stage in his life.
He feels that adding a little romance to the career line will be the finishing touch of the movie.
After the romance, the hero is left alone on a smooth road. This road is lonely and desolate. When the audience sees that he finally chooses to be alone, they may feel a sense of loss and regret.
At that time, the director persuaded him for a long time to let him shoot a kissing scene with a foreign actress.
The female director agreed immediately and even looked eager to try.
He was slow to agree.
The director angrily said that he was more relaxed than the actress.
The director was almost dry-mouthed from what he had just said. He also saw that Jingyi agreed, and he also knew what had happened. Jingyi had unexpectedly changed his mind.
No matter what the reason was for his change of mind, the director just felt that as long as Jing Yi agreed to try a kissing scene, it would be fine.
As an actor, it's understandable that he let go at the beginning. He also has high requirements. He only needs one kissing scene and doesn't require him to give anything else.
If it were a veteran actor, he would definitely not be satisfied with just the kissing scenes, but Jing Yi has just entered the circle and is still adapting to the environment of the entertainment industry.
Thinking of this, the director immediately went to find the American actress, fearing that the producer's beloved grandson would regret it again.
That famous actress has quite a lot of roles in the movie, even playing the second female lead.
This is the effect that the director wants.
When the swordsman was wandering around the world, he accidentally met a beauty, and the two of them had a fleeting romance.
A short romance is enough. The main plot is that the hero travels the world with a sword and eventually becomes a great swordsman. There is no need for too much romance, otherwise it will overshadow the main plot.
However, the director searched for the actress for a long time but couldn’t find her.
Jing Yi coughed lightly, walked over and pulled Lu Ning, who had been watching the show silently at the side, over. He asked, "Director, what do you think of her?"
Lu Ning:
Upon hearing this, the director looked at Lu Ning carefully.
He took a close look at Lu Ning's face and felt that she had an excellent temperament.
The director decided on the spot, "Let's choose her!" Anyway, it doesn't matter what important role it is, as long as it's a female.
Before Lu Ning could react, she already understood the director's arrangements clearly.
After deciding on the actress, the director immediately began to explain the details of the kiss scene to the two of them, "When the time comes, you will shoot here. There will be the starry sky above your head, the ground under your feet, and the shadows of trees all around. This can also be considered a kiss under the stars.
At that time, Jing Yi stretched out his right hand, gently held the actress's chin, found the right angle, and kissed her slowly. Remember, it must be beautiful, and the movements must be slow, not fast. If it is fast, there will be no tension between men and women. "
Lu Ning never expected that the first time he listened to a director's instructions on a play would be in a dream. Moreover, it would be in such a scene.
Afraid that the two wouldn't understand, the director even did it directly.
He stretched out his right hand, pinched his chin and demonstrated, "Just do it this way, understand? When the time comes, remember to look directly at each other. You know, eye contact is also very important. As the saying goes, eyes are the windows to the soul. A good actor's eyes can speak."
Lu Ning actually had no intention of becoming an actor. However, after seeing the director talking about the play so seriously, she became very interested in acting.
Of course, if it was a kissing scene, that would be even better.
After the director told them the details of the kissing scene, he prepared to start filming.
As soon as the director left, Jing Yi immediately explained to Lu Ning, "The director has always wanted me to try a kissing scene, but I have always let go. But some of the director's words are indeed right. A good actor must try the same role and experience the same part. Miaomiao, I'm sorry to bother you to act with me this time."
Lu Ning: My friend, I seriously suspect that you want to take advantage of me, but I have no evidence.
What Jing Yi said was very pertinent and he meant it from the heart.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are only a few actors who are dedicated to their roles. Just as the director said before, kissing scenes are nothing to an actor.
Lu Ning used to think that every time she had a dream it was a wonderful life experience, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn to experience a kissing scene so soon.
Lu Ning hesitated for two seconds and said, "This is just a dream. Actually, it doesn't have to be..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the expectant look in her friend's eyes.
He probably also wants to break through himself in reality. As an excellent actor, how can he not do a kissing scene
Of course, she is still not sure whether there is any selfish motive behind this kiss scene.
While Lu Ning was still hesitating, the director gave the order, "Begin!"
The next second, Jing Yi gently lifted her chin.
Even at such a close distance, Lu Ning could clearly see his friend's eyelashes trembling violently.
His palms were a little sweaty, and at this moment, the cold wind blowing in the middle of the night seemed a little chilly.
This scene was the first time for both her and her friends.
On the other side, the director who was very knowledgeable was still giving instructions desperately, "Jing Yi, get your head down quickly. Although I asked you to slow down deliberately, I didn't ask you to go this slow. If you go this slow, how long will it take to kiss me!"
As soon as the director finished urging him, Jing Yi closed his eyes and kissed her directly.
His movements were a little hasty and a little nervous.
But both of them have noticed this.
Above them was a romantic starry sky, and around them were breezes and sparse shadows. The air seemed to have suddenly become quiet.
No one made any further moves until the director's angry voice sounded again, "Where's the eye contact? Real actors are real actors, rough and crude. Why are you two closing your eyes? Open them both!"
Lu Ning, who was usually calm, also began to feel very complicated under the director's irritable command.
However, thanks to the director's patient command, the beautiful scene was completely eliminated.
What lingered in her ears was the director's loud roar, "What is the essence of a swordsman? Free and easy! Casual! Jing Yi, look at yourself, do you look like a free and easy swordsman? You just look like a fool!"
Lu Ning had never acted before, and this was the first time she realized that a director could be so sexual when filming.
The scolding was quite harsh.
After this time, she probably guessed that this must have happened when Jing Yi first entered the circle.
At that time, Jing Yi had no status or fame, he was just an ordinary person, so the director could yell at him whenever he wanted.
If it were now, even if the director was dissatisfied with Jing Yi, considering his status, the director would definitely restrain his temper and would not dare to accuse him directly.
"You two, do it again. Remember, close your eyes."
As soon as the director finished speaking, Jing Yi gently lifted Lu Ning's chin and started the second attempt.
Lu Ning saw the stars in his friend's eyes.
The light in his eyes was exactly the same as the starry sky above their heads, bright and dazzling, as if it contained thousands of stars.
The next second, she felt a warm breath.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time under the starry sky.
When Lu Ning woke up the next day, she still remembered the director's irritable complaints in her dream, as well as Jing Yi's trembling eyelashes and warm breath.
This time, she has paid a lot for her friend's acting career.
In her dream, she acted out a scene with her friend. It was a kissing scene.
If she continues like this, her acting skills will skyrocket one day and she may even become a movie queen.
Lu Ning suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart and tried his best to focus on other things.
She usually pays close attention to things happening in the entertainment industry, so she knows who this director is.
However, it was not difficult to find information about this director. She remembered his appearance, so she only needed to look for information about the director in the encyclopedia of movies that Jing Yi had filmed.
When Lu Ning picked up the phone and started searching for the director, the Merit System's excited and uncontrollable voice sounded at the right time, "Woo woo woo, this is really exciting. Your intimacy with the boss has increased by 100 at once. This is so fast. Congratulations, your intimacy has reached level 617. Woo woo woo, I am really excited."
Lu Ning put down her phone temporarily and asked, "So, the portable space can be destroyed?"
When it comes to this issue, the voice of the merit system becomes a little guilty, but still capable.
Lu Ning frowned slightly, "Why is it possible? Give me a convincing reason." The merit system clearly stated that as long as the intimacy reached lv600, the portable space could be destroyed, but now the intimacy has exceeded 600, why is it still possible
The Merit System sighed and explained that lv600 was the requirement when the portable space did not find a host. Now it has found Shen Chuchun, and Shen Chuchun's fate is pretty good, so the requirements for destroying it have become higher.
After hearing this, Lu Ning fell silent.
Shen Chuchun's fate was naturally good. She was a proud daughter of heaven, had a privileged family background, and was doted on by her family.
Lu Ning had a blank expression on his face. "How much do you need?"
lv999! You see, you can increase your intimacy by 100 at a time. To lv999, is it still a piece of cake
According to the current rate of intimacy growth, from over 600 to 999, it would only take three or four times.
However, the scenes in her dreams were increasingly beyond her expectations.
The first two times were still normal, but this time when she entered the dream, she went directly to the filming site, which was outrageous.
She has contributed so much to Jing Yi's acting career. If Jing Yi wants to make a big breakthrough in acting next time, will she accept or refuse
Lu Ning pinched his Yang point with a headache.
On the other side, Director Li woke up early in the morning and called Jing Yi excitedly.
As soon as the call was connected, he got straight to the point, "Xiao Jing, we haven't worked together for a long time."
Jing Yi responded, "Yes."
"Last night, I dreamed about the time when we were working together on a movie. Maybe the dream was reminding me to work with you again. How about it, can you shoot the kissing scene now?" Director Li still remembered that he had tried to persuade Jing Yi for a long time, but failed in the end.
When asked this question, Jing Yi coughed lightly and said, "Assign people."
According to people
Director Li understood it immediately. He didn't care much about gossip, he just wanted to know that Jing Yi could shoot kissing scenes now.
He said, "It just so happens that I have a script here that is very suitable for you. It contains some necessary kissing scenes. I will give you the script when the time comes, and you can take a look at it and decide if you want to take it."
Director Li can be regarded as Jing Yi's guide. He gave him a lot of help when he first started filming movies.
They haven't worked together for a long time, but he still remembers the feeling when he first worked with Director Li.
Director Li is a dedicated and talented director. He never engages in pretense and only concentrates on making movies.
Jing Yi did not refuse, "Okay, but I still have some certain factors on my side."
Director Li understood immediately.
"Haven't you figured out the person you're looking for? Then hurry up and do your best. I can't wait to work with you again."
When Lu Ning went downstairs, his expression was the same as before, and he couldn't see anything special.
As usual, she greeted Jing Yi with a calm expression.
When Lu Ning arrived at the kitchen, all the guests were gathered there.
Although there were only three parents coming this time, among them were Shen Rong and Meng Heng's parents, and many guests wanted to perform well in front of them.
This resulted in the kitchen being surrounded by guests.
As soon as Yao Hanhan saw Lu Ning, she immediately asked her for help, "Teacher Lu, we need support!"
Lu Ning and Yao Hanhan were on good terms in private. Upon hearing this, she took a step towards Yao Hanhan and asked, "What support do you need?"
Yao Hanhan said softly, "Meng Heng's mother wanted to drink porridge in the morning, so I thought of making something special for her, but I have no experience in making porridge. Teacher Lu, what kind of porridge do you think I should make for her?"
Lu Ning casually named a few porridges. "White porridge needs side dishes, which is troublesome. For example, cook green vegetable and mushroom porridge, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, or black rice porridge."
Yao Hanhan said hurriedly, "Then let's make preserved egg and lean meat porridge. It just so happens that we have preserved eggs and lean meat in the kitchen, and there are not many other ingredients. Teacher Lu, I have never tried it. Can you give me some pointers?"
Lu Ning hummed, "Okay. I haven't had breakfast yet, so I might as well cook a little more later."
Yao Hanhan naturally had no objection to this.
Soon, under Lu Ning's instruction, Yao Hanhan cooked a large bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge.
She filled a bowl of steaming preserved egg and lean meat porridge and carefully brought it to Meng Heng's mother. As for Meng Heng, he would prepare breakfast for himself, so Yao Hanhan didn't prepare any for him.
There was still a little porridge left in the pot.
Lu Ning served himself a bowl and left one bowl for Yao Hanhan. At this time, Jing Yi and Shen Rong also came in from outside.
Lu Ning greeted them with a normal expression, "If you haven't had breakfast yet, you can try the century egg and lean meat porridge. There's plenty here."
Jing Yi and Shen Rong each served themselves a bowl.
When Lu Ning was holding the bowl and preparing to go back to her room to eat slowly, Shen Rong suddenly said, "Teacher Lu, there is something I want to talk to you alone. Do you have time later?"
As soon as Shen Rong said this, everyone else in the kitchen turned their eyes to them.
