Chapter 585: Business is Better Than Romance
y broke.”He's so young, he has to try everything. Now that we have time, I can take you to the hospital where my mother used to live.Zhang Jun still shook his head, already disheartened and hopeless....This medicine was sent by Shao Gu, the assistant knows it well, otherwise she wouldn't dare to use it casually.
She hopes that Yaoyao and Gushao can get back together soon, or she prefers the sweet little princess they used to be.
So I've also been subtly hinting to Gu Shao about this recently.
Lu Yaoyao remained unmoved, taking a few bites before losing her appetite. She instructed her assistant to clean up and retreated to the sofa beside her to read through the script.
The actress's performance in the play "Fragrant Drunken Mistake" grew more and more captivating as the plot unfolded. She particularly fell for a line delivered by the female lead: "Making money is better than making men."
She didn't have any grand ambitions. She just did things for fun and happiness, but after working in the acting industry for a while, she got to experience different lives and gradually fell in love with this profession. She wanted to do well and achieve success.
This is joy derived from an inner source, not from comparison with others.
Love is a momentary hormonal surge that requires reciprocation from the other party; whereas the sense of achievement in work is lasting and self-generated.
Today, she was content to have grasped this point, another day of progress. She fell asleep holding the script happily.
It was probably the talcum powder that worked, because when I woke up the next day, the small red rash on the back of my neck had disappeared. Plus, today's scene was with the male lead in a bedroom scene on the bed, so I didn't need to wear heavy outerwear, just a thin silk lingerie set. So first thing in the morning, I felt incredibly refreshed and light.
While the assistant and I were having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, the assistant whispered.
“It seems like Shao Gu lives here too, I just saw him go out.”
”
"You're really paying attention to him, aren't you" Lu Yaoyao glanced at her assistant.
"No, no."
The assistant immediately shut up.
Very attentive, besides, Shao Gu wherever he goes brings his own hormones that make people's hearts beat faster. She, as a fan who admires his looks and is brain-dead for him, can't resist.
Lu Yaoyao ate two bites and glanced at her assistant, unable to help but ask.
"What is he doing on set"
Xu Zhao is not on the set recently again.
It's normal to be curious about your ex-boyfriend, right
The assistant, seeing that she was finally willing to talk about him, immediately replied: "Of course I'm here to visit you."
”
Lu Yaoyao finished the last bite of her sandwich and clapped her hands. "Let's go."
”
Upon arriving at the set, the stylist changed her into the outfit required for today's scene, and she instantly felt refreshed.
Because today's plot is her and the male lead waking up on the bed in the bedroom, which is so-called "bed scene", so the styling is more refreshing, so-called pajamas, the top is a diamond-shaped belly band, the four corners are tied with thin ropes at the back, and the bottom is a white silk pants.
His entire back was bare except for the two ropes tying him up.
Lu Yaoyao was overjoyed, although the outfit for the female lead in the play was considered bold, it was perfectly normal for her. It was even more conservative than many of her evening gowns, covering both her legs and chest.
In this hot weather, no need to wear heavy coats anymore, it's so refreshing.
On the set, dozens of people were busy preparing for work. Costume and styling for the actors were commonplace and wouldn't draw any special attention.
Lu Yaoyao and the male actor Liu Kai, who plays the male lead, sat on the edge of the bed waiting beforehand, going over their lines once again.
Because the last shot was the male lead untieing the fine cord of her tunic, taking a while to get it right in one take, Lu Yaoyao kindly reminded the male actor.
“Do you see this knot "
Just pull on this head.
”
She's still wearing a bra, very safe.
And acting, well, there are a dozen cameras pointing at them, it's all too commonplace for them.
The male actor also glanced and said, “Okay, I understand.”
”
The two went over the script for a while, and both the director and cameraman were ready. Lu YaoYao glanced at the director, waiting for him to say "action," but out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone sitting next to the director. It couldn't be anyone else but Gu Ruandong
Then I saw him sitting there very leisurely, listening intently as the director pointed at the machine and explained something to him.
She frowned and beckoned her assistant over, telling her to go inform the director that it was time to clear the set and keep non-essential personnel out.
The assistant whispered, "I just asked, the director said that Mr. Gu was invited by him."
”
"What did you ask him to do"
"It seems like Young Master Gu wants to make a military-themed film and came here specifically to learn filmmaking techniques from the director."
”
Lulu YaoYao
"YAOYAO, get ready to begin."
"The director waved loudly at her, who was stunned. "
Lu Yaya then lay beside the male actor on the bed.
The script is set up with the male and female leads slowly waking up from their sleep. The story begins with the male lead lying on his side, looking at the female lead beside him. After saying a few words, under the shy and nervous gaze of the female lead, the male lead rolls over and with one hand unties the string on the female lead's bodice.
So Lu Yaoyao lay inside the bed, closing her eyes and sleeping, waiting for the director's cue to open them.
Although she rarely shoots intimate scenes, challenging herself occasionally is also good. So, closing her eyes while waiting, she was already prepared to immerse herself in the character's emotional situation.
I feel the male actor beside me turn over.
She moved, though the director hadn't instructed her to open her eyes yet. She felt the atmosphere was right, so she slowly opened them.
He was stunned. The person beside him wasn't the male actor, but Gu Ruandong.
The director's voice echoed from the set.
“Yayay, that’s great, keep it up, that’s the expression.”
”
Gu Ruandong, because he was leaning sideways, had his back to the camera facing outwards and faced Lu Yaoyao.
He whispered to her, "The male actor isn't conveying the emotions well. The director asked me to demonstrate."
”
He spoke openly and acted decisively, following the script's plot. He turned slightly, lowered his head, bringing his face only a few centimeters from hers. Then, with pinpoint accuracy, he used his right hand to pull the thin rope behind her, causing one corner of her diamond-shaped bodice to slip down from the collarbone.
His fingertips were a little warm, gently brushing her shoulder blade. Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but close her eyes.
When the director shouted "cut," Gu Ruandong also got up immediately and walked over to the director.
Lu Yao also jumped up, and her assistant hurried forward to tie the rope for her.
The director excitedly praised in a string:
"Just now that shot, it was perfect, completely captured the atmosphere."
”
"Gu Shao, you're too talented to not be an actor."
”
"Liu Kai, you should learn from this. You lacked the alluring and teasing emotions towards the female lead just now."
”
The male lead replied to the director, "Got it. Let's reshoot now"
The director hasn't responded yet.
Result, Gu Ruan Dong, this layman, pointed at the picture on the machine and said:
“I think we can leave some white space here to weaken the male protagonist's image, he only needs to show his hand, the main focus is on highlighting the actress's emotions from before.”
Let the audience imagine the heroine's emotions themselves, the effect will be better.
”
The implication is that the male actor doesn't need to reshoot the intimate scene he just had with her.
Last chapter said it was a big deal, but it was just a little aunt's smile. Dong Ge ate vinegar in silence, haha..However, he was too calm, so calm that Shu Tinglan felt he was being insincere.So this world doesn't have empathy. If he knew how she had gotten through these past few years, he wouldn't just end it...
