Five minutes
Are you kidding? This was the first thought that came to Lu Yinbing's mind. She didn't think there was any conflict between the two of them. They were just acting partners who didn't know each other well. It didn't matter. If they didn't care, there wouldn't be any conflict.
Of course, if Xia Yitong had anything to say to her, she would uphold traditional Chinese etiquette and be willing to give her five minutes to listen attentively.
Five minutes
What was she going to say? What could she say? This was Xia Yitong's thought. If things could be explained clearly, she would have done so the first time she met Lu Yinbing. Why would she have to wait until now
If Lu Yinbing asked her why her temperament changed so drastically, why she was so hot and cold, and so many whys, she wondered confusedly: How should she answer? Facing her questioning eyes, could she still pretend that nothing had happened
Qin Hanlin raised his palm and emphasized again: "Five minutes, go to the lounge, I'll knock on the door later."
In the lounge, Xia Yitong and Lu Yinbing were the only two people in the large space. The air conditioner blew out cold air one after another, making the air in the room even more condensed. Lu Yinbing sat on the sofa, and Xia Yitong also sat on a stool, and they didn't say anything to each other.
Is time going fast or slow? Lu Yinbing cast a glance at the watch on his wrist. It was fast. Two minutes passed, and the person opposite him was like a rag doll with its mouth sewn shut, refusing to say a word.
Lu Yinbing didn't know how many times a heart could withstand the ups and downs of life, nor had she studied it, but she had been pampered for as many years as she had lived, and had never suffered any grievances. The initial resentment, confusion, weakness, and urgent desire for answers cooled down and gradually turned into a hard and cold emotion.
Xia Yitong was in a daze. She took out her phone and saw that half of the time had passed. She didn't say anything because Lu Yinbing didn't ask anything. Xia Yitong thought to herself: Why didn't she ask? Didn't she have any weight in her heart? Wasn't it worth her spending two seconds to be polite out of moral consideration
Xia Yitong glanced at her secretly, and Lu Yin remained silent.
If people's hearts were not hidden behind their bellies, if there was an instrument that could see through the cold appearance to the burning sincerity inside, the two would find that what they cared about was the same thing and it was not worth mentioning at all. However, there is no such if in reality.
Someone has to speak first.
Lu Yinbing calculated that the time was almost up, and said, "Qin Hanlin said that we should go out hand in hand. Did you hear that?"
"Yeah." Xia Yitong nodded, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart. As long as Lu Yinbing said one more word, she would sincerely apologize to her and tell her half the truth. She would be more careful in the future and would never let anyone see it.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with a spark floating on the dark sea, shining brightly.
Although Lu Yinbing was surprised by her eyes that lit up for a moment, she calmed herself down and continued speaking as she had planned: "I don't know why you are like this, and I am not interested in knowing, but we are still filming partners now. I think we shouldn't have no communication at all. At least we should pretend to be in front of outsiders to avoid being criticized. What do you think?"
The light in Xia Yitong's eyes dimmed, quietly and silently, making Lu Yinbing wonder whether such a light had ever appeared.
She lowered her eyes for a long time, then raised them and looked directly at her, saying calmly, "Senior Lu is right."
"I believe in your acting skills." Lu Yinbing extended a hand to her, smiled politely, and said in a businesslike tone, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Xia Yitong looked at her hand, which was white, slender, with distinct joints. She had pulled her up by the pool yesterday when she was filming the falling-into-water scene, and his grip on her hand was very strong. She had always wanted to try it again, but she hadn't expected the opportunity to come so soon.
It can be considered as another form of desire satisfaction, but why is she not happy at all
I'd rather you didn't trust my acting so much.
Xia Yitong shook her hand and gave her a proper smile: "It's a pleasure to work with you, senior."
The two people who had reached a new type of cooperative relationship were still silent and sat in the lounge. Qin Hanlin knocked on the door a minute late. Xia Yitong opened the door and Lu Yinbing followed closely behind.
Qin Hanlin looked expectant: "How is it? Has the conflict been resolved?"
Lu Yinbing: "Solved."
"Then why don't you two hold hands and show me?"
The two looked at each other, smiled at the same time, and held their hands together. Qin Hanlin believed it and said with a smile: "That's right, hand in hand, hand in hand, you are my good friend." He reminded, "Look at how old you are, you still need me to take care of you, treat each other well, don't have conflicts, and talk it out if there is anything."
Xia Yitong said: "I know, thank you Director Qin."
Lu Yinbing said “hmm”.
This matter has been exposed.
As soon as Qin Hanlin left, the two looked at each other again, and Xia Yitong said, "I'm going to have dinner."
Lu Yinbing: “Yeah.”
The two hands separated and walked away from each other. Xiaoxi had good eyesight and, as a CP fan, had been paying attention to the two people's movements. When she saw the two holding hands, she thought they had reconciled. But when she saw Lu Yinbing's expression, she realized that it was not the case.
"Miss, do you want to play Landlord?" Xiaoxi brought over the iPad. If you ask her which one of this couple she likes more, it must be Xia Ribing. Between the sponsor who pays her salary and her idol, of course she would choose the sponsor.
"No, I'm just reading the script." Lu Yinbing didn't even raise his head.
If even playing Landlord cannot save you from this emotion, then it must be a very bad emotion.
Xiaoxi sighed in her heart and looked around. She saw that the lunch boxes had been delivered, but Teacher Lu didn't feel hungry at all. She felt like the end of the world was approaching.
Just as she was thinking this, Lu Yinbing stood up with a confused expression, "Who am I and why am I here?", and looked at Xiaoxi: "Why didn't you ask me to go back to the lounge when dinner is ready?"
Xiaoxi: “…”
In the past, you always hid in before mealtime. How would I know? Were you just daydreaming
Lu Yinbing hid in the lounge, ignoring the flood outside.
After dinner, the staff knocked on Lu Yinbing’s lounge door and said that they could set off to the next shed.
Xia Yitong had no scenes to perform in the evening, but Lu Yinbing had a night scene in the palace, which involved action scenes and was quite tiring. And given Qin Hanlin's picky personality, he would not finish the work easily.
After a quick bite of food, they went to the tower to set up the scenery and lighting. A section of the palace wall was filled with people. The assistant director was directing and arranging the work. Lu Yinbing got out of the nanny car after changing her clothes. She closed her eyes and touched up her makeup, taking a nap.
This plot takes place after Jing Xiu became regent. Movies are often not shot in chronological order, but according to the scenes. After shooting in one place, they rush to the next. When the interior scenes of the palace are almost finished, the crew will fly to a desert in a certain province and stay there for three months to shoot exterior scenes. The turning point and tragedy of Jing Xiu's life also happened there.
Lu Yinbing put on the black python suit she wore at the beginning, tied up her black hair with a golden crown, and inserted a copper hairpin of the same texture with a metallic luster into her hair. The red tassel hung naturally from behind her ears, and the red tassel reflected her snow-white skin, making her eyebrows and eyes particularly beautiful. At this time, she was habitually pressing the gold and jade-inlaid sword hanging at her waist and talking to Qin Hanlin. She stood like this in the night, and could not hear any sound from a distance, but still took away all of Xia Yitong's attention.
Qin Hanlin: "That's basically it." Then he glanced behind Lu Yinbing and said teasingly, "Xiao Xia is looking at you."
Lu Yinbing followed his gaze and met Xia Yitong's gaze, which she didn't have time to retract. Xia Yitong was obviously panicked for a moment. If it weren't for the night being so good at hiding people's emotions, her red ears would have been exposed to Lu Yinbing's eyes.
Lu Yinbing frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows, smiled back, and continued to look at Qin Hanlin in front of her with her back to her.
Qin Hanlin's grin showed fatherly love as strong as a mountain.
Lu Yinbing: “…”
Qin Hanlin and all the staff cleared the scene, stepped aside, and raised his hand to signal the script supervisor. The script supervisor came over with a clapperboard, walked outside the empty palace, and looked at the camera: "Snow Breaking Scene 14, one take, action!"
The camera switches to a long shot, then zooms in. A group of people run into the frame, banging and banging, shouting, "The wind and rain are dark, the court and the country are full, people are settled, it's the hour of Hai."
This team of people was a role similar to the night watchmen in the palace, and they immediately brought the world into a state of flux. Xia Yitong sat up straight, and once again felt lucky to have met Qin Hanlin's team on her first filming.
The group of people ran around and went out of the camera. Qin Hanlin looked at the monitor without raising his head. He waved his hand, indicating that Lu Yinbing could go on.
Lu Yinbing, with his hands behind his back, slowly walked out of the dimly lit corridor of the palace, followed by two supporting actors in official uniforms.
The camera assistant lay on the ground early and crawled forward with the camera.
The lighting assistant moved slowly holding the reflector.
A supporting character said, "Your Highness, the Rouran envoy has arrived for a long time and has sent people to ask several times, when will Your Highness summon you?"
"Cut," Qin Hanlin shouted, "xx is off-camera, try again."
xx is the name of this supporting character.
So he started over again, the camera assistant returned to his original position, dusted himself off, and continued to lie down, waiting for the director's order. He didn't wait for the director's words, but waited for a deep look.
Lu Yinbing stared at him with an unfriendly look on his face.
The guy pushing the machine scratched the back of his head and looked around, and saw that there was no one there, so he knew that he was indeed looking at him.
Young man: “???”
