The set of "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

Zhang Yuan and Yang Mi, who were shooting underwater footage, covered their mouths and stood up from the pool.

"Woooooooo..."

Yang Mi was wearing a white gauze dress with a chest-length skirt of the same color underneath.

After being soaked all over, the white clothes, which did not hide any flesh to begin with, now stuck tightly to the body.

Her advantages are more prominent, so she looks exquisite, just like two tempting ripe fruits hanging on a slender branch.

Zhang Yuan has always wanted to watch this kind of scene, loves to watch it, and wants to watch it three times in a row.

But today he had no intention of paying attention to this matter at all.

Because he, like Yang Mi, was covering his mouth and frowning.

"You should use more force. I almost knocked my front teeth off." Zhang Yuan touched his teeth and felt a sharp pain.

The shot just taken is the classic shot of Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian kissing underwater.

The content is still the same. In order to prevent Ning Caichen from being discovered by the tree demon, Xiaoqian forcibly pressed Ning Caichen into the water, and gave him mouth-to-mouth breathing when he was about to drown and suffocate.

In this passage, the woman is strong and the man is weak. Xiaoqian overpowers Ning Caichen and even forces him to breathe.

But Yang Mi’s performance was a bit too forced!

He pulled Zhang Yuan's head and kissed him suddenly, as if he had made up his mind.

This effort was too much.

The two of them bumped their mouths together, and their four front teeth made a clanging sound. If they weren't underwater, sparks would have been flying.

"Are you okay?" Yang Mi was a little embarrassed and asked, looking up.

"First of all, I'm fine." Zhang Yuan rubbed his lips. "Secondly, next time you ask me if I'm okay, can you please not say 'Are you okay?'"

"why?"

"I can't listen to it."

Zhao Xinxin, the assistant, quickly brought a towel and helped Zhang Yuan put it on.

Having an assistant does have its benefits.

"Get one for her too." Zhang Yuan arranged.

Yang Mi is not qualified to have an assistant now, he is all alone.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Yuan complained, "Do you have a grudge against me? Why are you using so much force?"

"Are you filming a kissing scene, or are you planning on giving me a head-butt?"

"I, I want to take a good picture, but..."

"Just do it well. Even if you've never done a kissing scene before, you don't have to be nervous."

"Just kiss your boyfriend the same way you do in real life when filming," Zhang Yuan advised.

Then I saw the other person showing a helpless look on his face, with his eyelids drooping.

"What does that expression mean... Have you never been kissed before?" Zhang Yuan joked.

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan: …

He raised his hands and rubbed his face vigorously.

Yang Mi's later appearance left such a deep impression on him, coupled with her usual exquisite mind that far surpassed that of her peers, he always forgot that she was still a teenager.

It was my first time filming a kissing scene, and if I didn’t do it well, I could blame it on my lack of professional skills.

But she hasn't even had her first kiss, so this job is a bit difficult.

Things and things, objects and things, have different weights in everyone's heart.

To Zhang Yuan, there is not much difference between a kiss and a touch.

But for a young girl who has never experienced love, this matter may mean a lot.

Zhang Yuan scratched his head, then acted shy and said, "Actually, this is my first time kissing too."

puff……

Zhang Yuan turned around and found himself, Zhao Xinxin, smiling and looking at him sideways.

"You are my assistant, can you please have some attitude? It is not normal for an employee to laugh at the boss."

"Ohhhh, I'll try my best not to laugh."

Yang Mi was also amused by his behavior, and her troubled mood was relieved a lot.

"Do you want me to be responsible for you?" Zhang Yuan asked sincerely.

"Of course, if you kiss me, you have to go back to see my parents." Yang Mi replied with a wink.

Seeing her answer like this, Zhang Yuan knew that she had returned to her usual alert and agile state.

"Okay, no more jokes. Next time, tell me about this kind of thing in advance."

"Didn't you say we should be professional?" she replied with a pout.

"Well, your attitude just now was very professional, but your performance was not very professional." Zhang Yuan said seriously.

"The Xiaoqian you play is a demon, and she is a demon that specifically captures passing men for the tree demon grandma."

"You must have faced many lecherous men before, why are you so passionate when kissing?"

"Relax, be gentle and charming, understand?"

"Yes, Zhang Yuan is right, I think so too." Director Huang Weimin echoed.

"Director, let's do it again."

The two of them sank into the water again.

Just like last time, Zhang Yuan kicked Yang Mi underwater, signaling her that she could start.

This time Xiao Qian was more careful and greeted him with a much gentler attitude.

As their lips touched, she opened her mouth slightly and blew gently into the other's mouth.

At the same time, she saw Zhang Yuan's face full of enjoyment.

It seems that I am still attractive to him...

"call!"

After shooting a shot, the two came out of the water together and came to the camera to check the effect.

Zhao Xinxin also put towels on them both.

"Yang Mi, when you are breathing, you must also pay attention to controlling your facial expressions." said the director.

"Look at Zhang Yuan's performance. He was surprised at first, but then the surprise gradually faded and turned into acceptance and enjoyment. But in the end, he even looked a little addicted."

Yang Mi frowned.

It turns out that he was acting just now. I thought...

At this moment, she felt a little disappointed and a little admiring.

The disappointing thing is that the other party was completely businesslike.

What is admirable is that the other party can still complete his performance in this state, while she is much worse.

Huang Weimin is a new director and it was Yang Mi’s first time to perform a kissing scene, a difficult underwater kissing scene at that.

So we took twelve takes to get this scene right.

Yang Mi's lips were numb from kissing.

"This first kiss experience is so bad, not romantic at all..." she complained in her heart.

Many traditional industries would rather hire apprentices who know nothing than those who bring skills to their apprenticeship.

Because it is easy to draw on a blank piece of paper, but if the paper is already full, it is difficult to add anything else.

Unless you can stamp your seal for fun like Qianlong.

Yangmi is now a blank sheet of paper.

She has not yet entered the Beijing Film Academy to study professional acting system.

A while later, when Zhang Yuan went on a business trip to the set of "Huo Yuanjia", she also happened to be going to the Beijing Film Academy for an exam.

She won't start school until September.

The basis of all her performances is to do whatever the director tells her to do.

She secretly imitated what other veteran actors did.

But then it was just as her current boss Li Shaohong said.

Problems with Yang Mi's performance began after she had her own performance template.

An expression for crying, an expression for surprise, an expression for laughing, and an expression for sadness.

Filming is completely routine, without any emotion or thinking.

The reason and benefit of doing this is that she can work with a large number of crews and does not have to study scripts and characters. She can just get in front of the camera and start shooting.

She treats herself like an assembly line worker.

At this stage, she is still in the "can't" state.

"Yang Mi, you are a seductress who confuses scholars. You must be charming and seductive."

The director explained this to her while shooting a set of shots.

"The eyes should be seductive, and the expression should be lustful."

"Those eyes should be like hooks, piercing a man's heart."

Yang Mi frowned and shook his head: "I don't quite understand..."

Director Huang was extremely anxious. He was a newbie and the actors were also newbies. What should he do?

"It's okay." At this moment, a gentle and powerful voice came from beside him.

"Let me show her." Zhang Yuan, who was resting nearby, walked over.

"Okay!" Director Huang saw that he took the initiative to volunteer and quickly gave up his seat.

Originally, Boss Cai said that Zhang Yuan was very capable and that if there were any problems during the filming process, they could discuss them with him.

Huang Weimin thought, let’s not talk about whether an actor has the ability or not. If you ask him to do two jobs for one salary, it’s hard to say whether he is willing to do it or not.

But now that he has seen it, he will really do it if there is any problem!
Director Huang also wanted to see whether this young actor who has become quite popular recently has the ability that Boss Cai said.

At the same time, there was a group of people who were also shooting scenes on location and happened to pass by the crew of "A Chinese Odyssey".

The leaders were a man and a woman, both good-looking.

The man was dressed in scholar's clothes, looking calm and decent.

The woman was wearing a black gauze dress, which was charming and elegant.

This is the third unit crew of "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" that started work at the same time, in addition to "A Bao" and "A Qian", "Painted Skin".

The man is the famous Hong Kong star Jiang Hua.

"I Have a Date with Spring", "Journey to the West", "Golden House", "A Step into the Qin Dynasty"...

He can be said to be one of the most famous TVB male stars in the 1980s and 1990s.

And what about women?

It was Zeng Li, the tall beauty with long white arms and legs, who was accidentally spotted by Zhang Yuan in the dressing room during the audition.

When the two of them and the crew members passed by, Zhang Yuan happened to be teaching Yang Mi.

"Look at me." Zhang Yuan sat down next to him.

After calming down, his temperament changed!
He twisted his waist and lowered one shoulder.

She raised her hands gently and delicately, pretending to lift up her sleeves and cover her face.

The face is slightly tilted to one side, the eyebrows are slightly lowered, the line of sight is slightly sideways, as if peeking secretly, and the eyes are slightly narrowed.

At the same time, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, showing her tenderness and beauty. Yang Mi, who was standing by, was stunned.

This was the first time she saw the vixen in a man.

This action, this posture, this look, this expression, Wang Zhonglei must like it very much...

She instantly realized the gap in acting skills between herself and the other party.

"He's so good, no wonder he gets so many roles."

Zhang Yuan stopped and returned to his usual sunny and cheerful self in a second.

"How does it feel?" he asked with a smile.

"You...you are so flirty."

Zhang Yuan: …

"But you acted so well. I felt itchy inside watching you." Yang Mi smiled and continued, seeing that he was being teased by her.

"In fact, to seduce someone, besides the eyes, the actions are also important," Zhang Yuan explained in detail.

“It’s better to bring out the hand and body postures of these folk dances, which give it more feeling.”

The simplest example is the three golden flowers of Beijing Film Academy.

Jiang Qinqin, Jin Qiaoqiao, Chen Zihan.

Among these three, Jin Qiaoqiao and Chen Zihan both have a background in dance.

Therefore, when they play the role of bad women or fairies, they become particularly charming and attractive.

Jiang Qinqin's background is in Peking Opera, and she is a female warrior.

So she was born with a stubborn and strong character.

Coupled with their different looks, Jiang Qinqin debuted as the heroine, while the other two could only play supporting roles, mostly villains.

"Body language is especially important, for both men and women."

"Every person with different identities and jobs should have a different attitude and temperament."

"Even the postures of walking, running, sitting, and sleeping should be different, not to mention the seductress when seducing a man."

Yang Mi's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands.

"Oh, he acted so well. I thought it was a woman just now." Jiang Hua, who was not far away, stopped to watch and sighed with a smile.

"Your mainland young actors are so amazing."

Zeng Li beside him nodded slightly.

Zeng Li didn't actually mind too much about Zhang Yuan accidentally entering the dressing room.

Hugging and cuddling is normal during filming, and since no private parts are seen, it's not a big deal.

There are some knots in my heart, but not many.

Zeng Li was a little dazed for a moment when she saw Zhang Yuan covering up for Yang Mi.

Because she didn't know whether there were any dance moves.

But she did recognize the Peking Opera posture.

And that look and demeanor seem quite familiar.

"Why do I feel a bit like Izumi?" Zeng Li thought puzzledly.

That's for sure. Zhang Yuan's movements were somewhat inspired by Yuan Quan's posture in Farewell My Concubine.

Just like the posture and demeanor of actresses such as Chen Xiaoxu in "Dream of Red Mansions", their every frown and smile are so charming, they all borrowed from some opera movements.

Zeng Li and Yuan Quan have been classmates for seven years. They knew each other at drama school and had the best relationship.

"The acting is indeed very good." Zeng Li nodded in affirmation.

"It's rare to be able to do so well at this age."

The two leading actors, Jiang Hua and Zeng Li, continued to move forward at the urging of the crew.

Teacher Zeng Li looked back a few more times with interest.

On this side, after his instruction, Yang Mi began the formal filming.

After no more than three times, the shot was passed.

"Good, good, keep it up!" Huang Weimin came to Zhang Yuan happily and said, "You should teach her more in the future."

"no problem."

[Received thanks from Huang Weimin, animation production +1, drawing basics +1! ]

After watching the replay, Yang Mi also came to his side happily.

This girl is actually not stupid and learns things quickly, but she just doesn't put her mind in the right place.

"thanks."

"How about you be my teacher and I'll call you Master." She joked.

"You can teach me, but you don't have to call me master. If you make a bad movie in the future, just don't expose me as your master."

After work in the evening, Yang Mi pulled him aside and insisted on treating him to a meal.

Zhang Yuan simply called Hu Ge and the junior sister to join him.

They ate seafood, and the crab was bigger than Yang Mi's head. She was so scared that she lost her wallet.

After eating and drinking, he returned to his room to study the script.

I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to think carefully about the characters.

beep, beep...

Soon after, there was a knock on the door.

He put down the pen and paper in his hand, stood up and opened the door.

"Changchang, why are you here?"

He was somewhat delighted to find that Shu Chang, wearing a pink T-shirt, was smiling and waving at him.

"The crew of The Lotus Lantern is also in Hengdian, not far from here."

"In your room..." Chang Chang asked cautiously, "Is there anyone there?"

"No one, come in."

After hearing that there was no one around, Changchang looked much more relaxed.

"Brother Yuan, I will hurry up and return the millions of dollars I paid to the crew."

After they sat down, the other looked ashamed.

"Don't worry, just focus on work and study."

"That's several million. You're not well off." Shu Chang rubbed his thighs with his palms in some distress.

"Too many lice don't worry, too many debts don't itch, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Yuan smiled and pulled her arm.

"Besides, you can pay it back with your body."

"Hehehe...then when will I have to return it?" Changchang stood up on her own initiative and sat in his arms.

"We have been in Hengdian during this period. You can pay your debt back every night."

After saying that, the two of them came together.

In less than three minutes, all the clothes were scattered on the ground...

In a room not far away.

Zeng Li is chatting on the phone with an old friend.

"Quan, remember what I told you about before, when a young actor barged in on me while I was being measured for clothes at an audition?"

Teacher Yuan Quan's lazy voice came from the other side.

"Remember, they didn't apologize."

"Why, it wasn't intentional, you still hold a grudge?"

"No, I saw him acting today, and he acted really well!" Zeng Li sat on the bed with her long, white legs spread out. "And I found that this guy seems to have some basic skills in opera."

"Ah?" Yuan Quan was stunned.

When Zeng Li talked to her about the incident in the dressing room, she didn't mention who the other person was.

But now when it comes to good acting skills and opera skills, a figure suddenly appears in front of Teacher Yuan's eyes.

"And I saw that he looked a bit like you when he was cross-dressing... Hehe, I guess it's because I couldn't see you and I missed you a bit, so I saw it wrongly."

"Isn't this guy you're talking about tall and handsome? He's always happy to meet everyone."

"Yeah, how did you know?" Zeng Li smoothed her short hair.

"Then I roughly know it. I have met him before when I was in the crew." When Teacher Yuan said this, he suddenly felt a little hot in his lower abdomen and his mouth and tongue were a little dry.

"Do you recognize him?"

"Yes, his name is Zhang Yuan, right?"

"Well, how is he, did he just pop up recently?"

"I told you that you were slow to react. It's been several years since he came out." Teacher Yuan said sarcastically.

"By the way, you and Dalong have already broken up, right?"

"Yeah." Zeng Li sighed, "I don't see him all the time, and Dalong has a straight temper, so we can't get along well."

The person they were talking about was Fu Dalong, who has the potential to be a movie emperor.

"How long has it been since a man came to visit you?"

"Get out, what do you mean by that!" Zeng Li jumped up from the bed.

"You want to show off your ability, right? You have your Xia Yu here, so you laugh at me, right?"

"No, what I mean is that if you don't have a man, you can spend more time with Zhang Yuan."

"What do you mean?"

"He... is pretty good anyway." Teacher Yuan was filled with emotion as the memories were brought back to him.

Zeng Li was stunned for a moment, thought about the context for about a minute, and then slapped the bed angrily.

"What did you say!"

"I'm serious about relationships. I'm not the kind of person who plays around!"

"I'm afraid you'll be lonely." Teacher Yuan Quan replied with a smile, "Besides, the rule in our industry is that the crew's affairs stay with the crew."

"You always look for boyfriends on the set, but every time you finish filming, your relationship fades."

"It's better not to take it seriously."

"Besides, adults all have needs. You can't just live your life like a pig."

"You're the one living with eggplant!"

The two girlfriends laughed and joked for a while before putting down their phones.

Zeng Li fell on the bed holding Zheng's head.

"Hiss... Quan said he was pretty good. What exactly was he good at?"

"Oh, forget it, I'm not familiar with him anyway."

"Although we are in the same crew, we shoot in groups, so we probably won't meet each other very often."

"So be it."

She didn't think much about it and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, after putting on her makeup and coming to the set, she found a familiar face in front of her... (End of this chapter)
