Chapter 197 Day 197 of Love-brained Entering the Film and Television Industry
This was a venue carefully designed by Director Wen. Pei Xiao stood in a slightly higher position, as if she was the master of this scene. Jinai stood at the bottom, slightly looking up, forming a sharp contrast with Pei Xiao.
When Jinai raised his head, his eyes met Pei Xiao's. Pei Xiao was shocked because the way Jinai looked at her didn't seem like he was acting.
There was a kind of passion and desire in that look, as if he had a strong need for Pei Xiao. This feeling made Pei Xiao feel uneasy, and her eyelids began to twitch unconsciously.
"Card!"
At the command, the show stopped.
Director Wen frowned and looked at the two actors. He was keenly aware that something was wrong with their acting.
"Jinai, you are too strong. Remember, you are in a position where you need help, so you should keep your emotions down. And Pei Xiao, you need to be even more assertive. After all, you are the master here, and you have a high status and position. The state just before the filming was very good, keep it up and make appropriate adjustments."
Pei Xiao pursed her lips and nodded gently, indicating that she understood the director's request. She knew that she needed to show more confidence and majesty in her performance to match the role setting.
Pei Xiao took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and prepared to devote herself to the role again. She knew that only by constantly challenging herself could she improve her acting skills.
But although Jinai agreed to Director Wen's request, he still stared at Pei Xiao eagerly after the filming started. He said that he wanted to buy the trace of a beloved person, and from the look of him, it seemed as if the beloved person was right in front of him.
Jinai's eyes never left Pei Xiao, and every time they looked at each other, they were filled with emotional exchanges. He said in a low and gentle voice:
"I am willing to pay any price to find my beloved, even if it is just a little clue..."
However, despite Jina’s excellent performance, he was so absorbed in paying attention to Pei Xiao that they failed to get through multiple takes in a row.
Gradually, Director Wen also began to notice some clues. She realized Jinai's problem, so she decided to stop filming and called Jinai aside to ask about the situation. At the same time, she arranged for Pei Xiao to take a rest first to avoid affecting the subsequent filming progress.
While Pei Xiao was putting on makeup, Assistant Liu said worriedly:
“I don’t know if today’s filming will go smoothly.”
Pei Xiao looked at Director Wen and Jina. The two seemed to be arguing about something. Director Wen stood up angrily and pointed at Jina. Jina's face also looked very ugly.
Just when she thought things were about to get out of control, Director Wen suddenly sat back behind the display screen, took a deep breath, and his emotions began to stabilize. At the same time, Jina also raised her head and looked at Director Wen, her eyes full of apology.
Pei Xiao withdrew his gaze and said lightly.
"Director Wen won't let this happen."
As expected, when the filming started again, Jinai's condition was much more stable. Pei Xiao had already found his feeling, and the filming went much more smoothly, and they passed it in just two takes.
Later, under the supervision of Director Wen, Pei Xiao's plot was finally filmed smoothly.
"Happy wrap-up, Mr. Pei!"
As the last scene ended, the crew members congratulated Pei Xiao.
Pei Xiao smiled and bowed deeply to everyone around her to express her gratitude. Then, she walked briskly towards Director Wen to say goodbye to him.
Just then, a huge bouquet of flowers suddenly appeared in front of her, completely blocking her vision.
"Happy finalization."
A familiar voice came from behind the bouquet.
Pei Xiao tilted her head slightly, her eyes passed over the flowers and fell on the person standing behind her. She saw Jinai smiling, his eyes as bright as stars, looking at her with joy. He held the bouquet of flowers in his hand, as if he was giving all the beauty of the world to Pei Xiao.
Pei Xiao was originally filled with joy, but now she felt as cold as if she had been doused with a basin of cold water. She forced a smile and wanted to say something.
However, Jina interrupted her and said firmly:
"No matter what, I have to accept the final bouquet. It was specially prepared by the crew, not bought by me."
Jinai looked straight at Pei Xiao, as if he could see through her inner thoughts. He stretched out his hand and forced the bouquet of flowers into Pei Xiao's arms.
At this moment, the director noticed their interaction and said with a smile:
"I actually asked someone to prepare this bouquet of flowers. Jina may have caused you some trouble before, so I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to you."
Pei Xiao was a little surprised by Director Wen’s words. She looked at Jina and found that he was staring at her with a complicated look.
After hesitating for a moment, she chose to believe Director Wen's explanation and gave her a grateful smile.
"Thank you, Director Wen. I accept your kindness."
Pei Xiao took the bouquet, sniffed it gently, and then thanked Jina.
Jinai's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but he quickly regained his composure. He said softly:
"Xiaoxiao, I hope I will have the opportunity to work with you again in the future."
Pei Xiao nodded with a polite smile on his face.
But in fact, she secretly prayed in her heart:
It’s best not to see this person again.
After finishing the filming of "Love in the Empty Mountain", Pei Xiao relaxed completely, but there was still something on her mind - she wanted to talk to Liu Sijing.
That night, Pei Xiao sat alone by the bed, holding the business card Liu Sijing gave her, and pondered for a long time. Finally, she took a deep breath and dialed the number on the business card.
"Hey?"
Liu Sijing's cold voice came from the other end of the phone, like a clear spring flowing down from the top of a snow-capped mountain, bringing a hint of coolness.
"It's me, Pei Xiao."
she replied softly.
"Yaoyao, you are finally willing to contact me."
Liu Sijing's tone suddenly became enthusiastic, like melting ice and snow, making people feel the breath of spring.
Pei Xiao was shocked when she heard him address her so intimately. But she soon calmed down and continued:
"Do you have time to meet up soon? I want to talk to you about something."
"If I have time, how about tomorrow?" Liu Sijing agreed without hesitation.
"Okay. Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, I'll send you the address later."
Pei Xiao tried her best to keep her voice calm, and then she hung up the phone.
Pei Xiao put down her phone, a complex emotion welling up in her heart. She didn't know what the outcome of this meeting would be, but she knew that no matter what, this was a conversation that she had to face.
