Romance of the Stars

Chapter 77

Little Jingxiu was covered in dust and dirt. Since there was no one around, she simply sat on the ground and didn't get up. She hid her hands behind her back, pretending to be casual but actually hiding them obviously. Her bright black eyes rolled around and she was mumbling something.

Qin Hanlin was almost killed by her cuteness, and his face was full of wrinkles from smiling behind the monitor.

Hongyu tapped the ground with his foot and slid out gently like a swimming fish. Little Jingxiu's eyes blurred and she smelled the fragrance of grass between her nostrils. She couldn't help but open her little mouth.

Hongyu stood in front of her, one hand behind his back, the other hand raised lightly, a smile on his lips, looking down at her.

Little Jingxiu looked up along her hand and saw a green grasshopper pinched between her fingertips. "You—" Little Jingxiu was furious. She jumped up and tried to snatch it away. "Give it back to me!"

Hongyu stepped aside nimbly, and Xiao Jingxiu rushed over headfirst, but missed. She was about to fall, but Hongyu grabbed her by the back of the collar and lifted her upside down.

"You are so brave! I will tell father." The Sixth Princess was still immature at that time. Her wet nurse had taught her to call father whenever something happened.

Hongyu was about to laugh, and asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Where is your father?"

"My father is..." Little Jingxiu thought for a moment. She seemed to see her father less and less. After the Lantern Festival this year, her father had not come to see her. However, she was stubborn and pursed her lips. Her little face was full of confidence. "He is just at the foot of the mountain. I will go find him now."

Xia Yitong said with emotion: "Are you as tough as Jing Xiu?" Xia Yitong originally intended to use this sentence to find out something about Lu Yinbing's personality and preferences, and then she heard Lu Yinbing say in a casual tone: "Not tough, quite soft."

Xia Yitong suddenly felt flustered and short of breath: "..."

Looking at Lu Yinbing again, he was heartlessly poking his lips with his fingers to try.

"!!!"

No, she had to get used to Teacher Lu who suddenly became so naturally charming! Otherwise, she would have a myocardial infarction sooner or later.

Qin Hanlin handed the scenes of the two young actors running around the mountain to the assistant director, and made time to shoot the scenes with Lu and Xia. They were not rival scenes, but were shot separately. The two of them revisited their old places, and the scenes might not be shown. Even if they were shown, they would only be a few flashback shots of memories, which added up to less than five seconds, but it took a whole day to shoot.

In this drama, the proportion of their rival scenes is not particularly large, and the separate shots each account for half. The daily arrangement for the two of them is either you in the morning and I in the afternoon, or I in the morning and you in the afternoon, which must be staggered by at least two hours. However, the two of them are like conjoined twins, appearing on the set together every morning. Xia Yitong will not stay until Lu Yinbing finishes work and leaves. They will only separate under one situation, that is, one of them goes out alone to shoot on location, and it is very rare for this situation to occur one day in ten days. They live together again at night.

Gradually, the crew members only asked one person to handle a matter between two people, because the other person would always pass on the message anyway.

A month later, at the end of August, the weather was still hot, and the crew's early shooting plan had reached the intimate scenes as scheduled. The so-called intimate scenes were... the first kiss scene in the movie.

After knowing the scenes to be filmed the next day the night before, Xia Yitong went to the bathroom to take a shower immediately after returning to the hotel to cool off. Then she was secretly looking forward to it, but also a little nervous.

Lu Yinbing was looking forward to it just as much as she was, not because she could get close to her, but because she had never filmed such a scene before and it could fill another gap in her acting career.

"Are we acting together?" Lu Yinbing asked.

"No!" Xia Yitong refused almost reflexively, looking away from Lu Yinbing. She still remembered that she was an actress, and she was definitely not in the right state tonight. It was good enough that she didn't scream, so she didn't have the energy to act. She had to try hard to imagine herself as Chen Qing, otherwise she would definitely do NG countless times tomorrow.

ng many times? Doesn't that mean you can kiss many times

No, no, Xia Yitong silently recited the 24-character socialist core values, and the righteous person in his heart scolded the despicable person back.

You are an actor with professional ethics!

As soon as Lu Yinbing entered the room, he felt that Xia Yitong was very anxious. After taking a shower, he stood there with an extremely exaggerated expression, as if he was undergoing some difficult psychological struggle.

Xia Yitong walked to the corner, took out a pen and a copy of the Diamond Sutra from his suitcase, then leaned down in front of the table and sat upright.

“Everything is subject to the law. It is like an illusion, a dream, a bubble, or a shadow. It is like dew drops or lightning. You should view it in this way…” His handwriting was neat and he wrote each word with force, as if to engrave the “Six Likenesses” into his cerebral cortex.

She murmured, "All happy and unhappy things are like dreams, bubbles, and lightning, fleeting, no big deal, don't take it to heart. The same goes for the kiss scene, don't take it to heart. No, you can't think about the kiss scene. You are not Xia Yitong, you are Chen Qing. Chen Qing is copying Buddhist scriptures for the salvation of her soul and for the Buddha to feel her sincerity. Why would someone who doesn't believe in Buddhism copy Buddhist scriptures?"

She pulled herself away from Xia Yitong, and the four light walls around her turned into covered bridges, gardens, paths and secluded springs. Xia Yitong closed her eyes and tried to experience Chen Qing's inner world.

She finally calmed down. She had been muttering to herself all night long. Lu Yinbing thought something was going to happen to her, but she wouldn't say anything when he asked her. Kids nowadays are really becoming more and more troublesome.

After taking a shower, she lay on the bed and retrieved a video from the local folder of her iPad, titled "Bed Scene Collection". When she opened it, it was indeed a bed scene, but it was not one of those "action movies" without a plot. Instead, it was the performances of some excellent actors that she had collected herself.

If nothing goes wrong, there should be some ambiguous scenes tomorrow. She has no sexual experience, so she has to think about it again before each intimate scene. She looks in the mirror to see what kind of expression requires the lips to be opened to a certain extent, what angle the eyes should look to be more in the role, and the curvature of the arms and neck. Qin Hanlin is also famous for his love of beauty, so she doesn't know how he will torture her. She has already prepared for this scene to take three days to shoot, but she doesn't know if Xia Yitong will be uncomfortable with it.

She probably hasn't filmed such a scene with a woman before, will it be difficult to get into the role? Even if she does, she will probably feel uncomfortable, so why not pass on your experience to her

Other acting experience is fine, but this... I feel a little ashamed for some reason.

So on the eve of filming the kissing scene, one of the two leading actors was watching "Bed Scene Collection" to figure out how to perform, while the other was copying the "Diamond Sutra" to calm his mind. As they meditated, they entered a state of concentration.

Half an hour later, Xia Yitong put aside the Diamond Sutra and wrote down in her notebook her understanding of Chen Qing's psychological activities tomorrow. She had just thought a lot and felt her mind was in a mess, full of noisy voices, so she wrote it down in black and white to organize it.

At 10:50 pm, Lu Yinbing rubbed her tired eyes and facial muscles, copied a file with a USB drive, and looked up to see Xia Yitong still bent over the table, writing quickly. She walked behind Xia Yitong and saw that there were already two large sheets of densely written white paper on her left hand, and the sheet in her hand was also about to be filled up.

Lu Yinbing looked at the paragraph she was writing and muttered to himself, "I don't know what the wooden plaque I carved since I was a child means. I only know that it is the inheritance passed down by my master for hundreds of years. It is a mission that cannot be broken with me. I was born to inherit it, and it exists because of me..."

Lu Yinbing was reading with great interest, but Xia Yitong bit the pen and stopped writing.

"Why don't you write anymore?"

"I don't know how to write it further." Xia Yitong said, "Maybe modern concepts are different. I think she sacrificed everything, including her lover, for a fabricated inheritance that is hard to tell whether it is true or false. It's not worth it."

"You've already written it. You were born to inherit it, and it exists because of you. Your blood is intertwined. For the sake of justice, how can it not be worth it?"

Xia Yitong touched her lips with the pen and said thoughtfully: "But if I were her, I would definitely choose my lover."

"So you haven't really gotten into the role yet," Lu Yinbing said. "Playing a person doesn't mean you have to criticize her from God's perspective, but you have to truly understand her psychology from her perspective. If you were asked to play a bad guy, would you still think: 'Ah, why is this person so bad? If I were him, I would definitely not do bad things, and I don't want to do bad things'? Then the character you play is split. You have to think: 'I am a bad guy, it's absolutely true. Why am I a bad guy? What should I do as a bad guy?' Your expression and behavior reflect your own thoughts. You don't even approve of yourself, so how can you expect the audience to approve of you?"

"Hmm?" Xia Yitong frowned.

Lu Yinbing flicked her forehead with his fingers. She was already used to this action and did it very smoothly: "Think about it carefully. Don't let me find out that you have split roles, or I'll get angry."

And "Be careful or I'll get angry" has become Lu Yinbing's catchphrase. She would get angry if she disagreed with someone, but she has never really gotten angry once. Although Xia Yitong was not afraid of her threats, she took her words to heart.

Lu Yinbing placed the USB drive that he had warmed in his palm on the table, and then quickly walked away without even looking at her, and hurriedly said, "It will help you with your performance tomorrow, take a look."

Xia Yitong obediently inserted the USB drive into the computer and opened the folder.

— "HD Collection of Kissing Scenes in Movies and TV Series", "Collection of Women Disguised as Men (Male and Female), and Lesbian Sex Scenes in Movies and TV Series"

Xia Yitong was in a complicated mood: "..."

Should I tell Teacher Lu that she has actually seen all this before
