Qin Hanlin gave a thumbs up: "Cut, passed."
Xia Yitong held up her skirt and ran to the monitor to watch the playback. Lu Yinbing took the clothes from Fang Wei's hand and put them on Xia Yitong from behind.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Xia Yitong thought it was Fang Hui, but then a familiar yet unfamiliar warm body came close to her. The Hermès Terre de Terre fragrance fermented with the beating of her arteries. This was the perfume that Lu Yinbing had specially changed to play Jing Xiu. It was already in the base notes, and the mixed smell of sweet pepper, benzoin, cedar, etc. was very pleasant.
Xia Yitong turned around and said, "Teacher Lu."
Lu Yinbing said calmly, "Let's watch the replay."
Xia Yitong moved away a little without leaving any trace. She didn't know why she felt that Lu Yinbing was a little too close to her, with his chest almost touching her arm. Although there was no chest, it was still the position of the chest. However, after she moved away a little, Lu Yinbing pretended to move closer to her casually.
Xia Yitong looked at her strangely, but Lu Yinbing didn't look at her.
Qin Hanlin read it twice and said to Xia Yitong, "Remove the music and try another one, okay?"
Xia Yitong: "Okay."
So the music was removed, and Xia Yitong danced directly on the drums. When the first sound came out, Qin Hanlin felt that the effect seemed better than playing music. Later on, he tried to add some pure music as background sound and picked out another one.
However, when I came to Lu Yinbing again, things were a little different from the last time.
Xia Yitong was wearing a half bronze mask, and when she looked at Lu Yinbing with a smile, Lu Yinbing's eyes actually showed a moment of amazement, which was fleeting and almost imperceptible. Qin Hanlin pinched his chin, looked at the two people on the field who were implicated by the thread of fate, and fell into thought.
The second time, Xia Yitong was still in good condition. Qin Hanlin said, "Cut, passed."
Qin Hanlin turned on the playback and paused at Lu Yinbing's position. He saw that it was indeed that kind of emotion. A few minutes later, Qin Hanlin re-shot a few supporting role shots, and the scene was completely over.
The photography crew, props team and stagehands were packing up to go to the new filming location, which was in the garden not far from the palace.
Xia Yitong wants to change into new costumes and makeup.
Lu Yinbing was called over by Qin Hanlin.
Qin Hanlin pointed at her eyes on the screen and said, "Look at this shot."
Lu Yinbing's eyes trembled slightly. She didn't remember showing such an expression!
Lu Yinbing: "Director Qin, I..."
Qin Hanlin interrupted her, "I originally thought that the Sixth Prince was kind-hearted, but also scheming. He would not show an expression of being amazed by a dancer. But Chen Qing is so beautiful. As a normal man, it is understandable for him to express a little appreciation when seeing a good-looking person. Moreover, your highlight is the smile at the back. People who don't pay attention can't detect it at all, which makes Jing Xiu more human. The softer he is, the more touching his future hardness will be. Also, since this scene is a first meeting, we have to show some different sparks, right?! Sparks popped as soon as they looked at each other, how great! I was wondering why you suddenly acted like this, did you think of it at the last minute and didn't have time to tell me?"
Looking at Qin Hanlin's excited face, Lu Yinbing swallowed what he was about to say without changing his expression, and said calmly: "Yes, I suddenly have a new understanding of the role."
"Then you should have told me when you finished filming. If I hadn't looked back and forth, I wouldn't have been sure what that look meant."
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time."
"Especially the kind that will create sparks. You must tell me. I can add one more if I see it."
"… OK."
Lu Yinbing's next scene was in the garden, so she didn't need to change her clothes. She hid in a corner to read the script, but ten minutes passed without turning a page. Xiaoxi looked into her eyes, which were blank. It was strange that the actress Lu was actually in a daze!
Half of her is cold and half of her is seductive, her glory is like the moon, bees and butterflies are fluttering around her skirt, the sound of drums is deep, and the sound of bells is clear.
Xia Yitong's dancing figure seemed to still be spinning eagerly in her eyes. A green light flashed across her pupils. The bronze mask clanged and trembled on the drum surface. The empty eyes looked at her coldly, still trembling.
Lu Yinbing closed her eyes tightly, trying to blink away the annoying Xia Yitong, but it was of no use.
Sometimes it was her soft waist, sometimes it was her slender white arms, sometimes it was the sharp scorpion tail at the corner of her eyes. Sometimes it was the sound of drums, sometimes it was the sound of bells, beating and ringing non-stop in her mind.
Xia Yitong is such a nuisance.
Today's script was slapped on the table, and Lu Yinbing stood up suddenly. Xiaoxi looked over quickly, and Lu Yinbing said, "I'll go to the dressing room."
Xiaoxi: "Okay, do you need me to follow you?"
Ahhh, eat candy, eat candy.
Lu Yinbing said coldly: "No need."
She didn't need to put on makeup, so whose dressing room did she go to? Of course, it was Xia Yitong's.
I knocked on the door, and Fang Hui said from inside, "Come in."
Xia Yitong didn't turn around and asked, "Who is it?"
Fang Hui replied: "Mr. Lu."
Xia Yitong turned her head and said, "Hello, Teacher Lu." The scorpion at the corner of her eye had been wiped off, and that "evil-like" temperament - as Lu Yinbing described it - had diminished a lot. Her eyebrows and eyes were gentle and as clear as usual.
Lu Yinbing stared at her without saying a word.
Xia Yitong was horrified by her gaze: "..."
Ten seconds later, she looked down at her tightly wrapped collar and asked anxiously, "Teacher Lu?"
Lu Yinbing retracted his gaze and said calmly, "It's okay." Then he sat down on the chair next to her, "I'll take a rest."
Sure enough, when she didn't wear that dress and didn't put on that makeup, she didn't react at all. It seemed that she was into the role.
Lu Yinbing has a shortcoming when acting. She tends to over-empathize with the characters, and she will be happy when the characters are happy and sad when the characters are sad. This phenomenon was particularly obvious when she first started acting. Fortunately, she didn't play any love scenes at that time, otherwise it would not be a good thing to get real emotional during filming. In recent years, with the improvement of her acting skills and the growth of experience, she has been able to handle various roles well without getting too deeply involved. Empathy is a good thing, but excessive empathy will backfire.
Now this kind of phenomenon of not being able to distinguish between people and drama has appeared again. Lu Yinbing thought: "I really need to reflect on myself."
Looking at Lu Yinbing who was lost in thought after a disagreement, Xia Yitong didn't understand what was going on, but she knew that Lu Yinbing wouldn't tell her even if she asked, so she had to close her eyes and let the makeup artist continue to remove her makeup.
Lu Yinbing sat with her for a while, turning around several times to look at her seriously, and finally stood up and said with relief: "I'm going to read the script. See you later."
"See you later."
Lu Yinbing opened the door and left.
Xia Yitong looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, then asked the makeup artist: "Xiao E, do I look different today than yesterday?"
Xiao E looked at the mirror, then at the delicate and flawless face under his hand, and smiled with emotion: "Teacher Xia looks better than yesterday."
"Did Teacher Lu keep looking at me just now?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Maybe... looking for a sense of drama?" Xiao E said, "I don't know."
"Really?" Xia Yitong murmured. What did her relieved expression mean at the end? Did she find the sense of drama? What sense of drama could she find with her face that had half of her makeup removed
And the fact that she secretly rubbed against him when watching the replay just now made Xia Yitong feel that Lu Yinbing was acting strange today. For a moment, she almost thought that Lu Yinbing had a crush on her.
No matter how strange it is, the show still has to be filmed.
After filming a falling-into-water scene last time, Xia Yitong found that she could still tease Lu Yinbing in the play, so she was not too worried about the emotional substitution today. But the scene with Lu Yinbing two days ago made her feel uneasy. Her teasing was too superficial, and it would become frivolous if she was not careful. Frivolity combined with abstinence can certainly have a good explosion point, but for a prince like Jing Xiu who is upright in thought and conservative in body - in modern terms, he is cold and abstinent - frivolity will only make him look down on her, let alone attract his attention. If Chen Qing is frivolous, she will be unworthy of her future title of think tank, and her personality will collapse directly. If Jing Xiu is attracted to such a person, it is simply an insult to the audience's IQ.
I wonder what Qin Hanlin would say about the play.
Rather than imagining the difficulty of this scene, Xia Yitong was more looking forward to what Qin Hanlin was going to say to her. Just like he had said before, a good director is more important than an actor. He is the soul of this movie. They are the rare pigments, and Qin Hanlin is the painter with the paintbrush.
When Xia Yitong arrived there, the set was still setting up the equipment and adjusting the tracks. The assistant director was directing the lighting technician to set the lighting, and two lighting substitutes were positioning Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong in advance to save time in adjusting the lighting during the formal shooting.
The big fan was spinning, and the bushes in the garden were full of blood-sucking mosquitoes. No matter how afraid Qin Hanlin was of the heat, he changed into long-sleeved shirts and long pants. The mosquitoes here were big and poisonous, and their bites were not only itchy and painful, but also broke a layer of skin.
Take a deep breath, the whole place is filled with the smell of Liushen floral water. In the dark sky, only the lights illuminate the sweaty face of the staff. The man slapped his arm, a big blood spot appeared, and waved his hand high, shouting: "Hey, floral water, here, pass it over."
Qin Hanlin resisted the urge to roll up his trouser legs and called Xia Yitong and Lu Yinbing over to discuss the play.
Before the show started, something even stranger happened.
Lu Yinbing quickly leaned over, gently put his arm around Xia Yitong's waist, and then let go as if nothing had happened.
Xia Yitong opened her eyes wide: "!!!"
Lu Yinbing completely relaxed and gave her a smile filled with joy.
It's okay to touch it! My heartbeat didn't speed up, and I couldn't tell the difference between people and drama. It was great!
