Chapter 76: Chapter 076: Qi Si has blocked him! Chapter 76: Chapter 076: Qi Si has blocked him! Since it was a scene set at night, and her face was smeared with dirt, Shen Yan only had one line of dialogue.
So there was no need to display any acting skills.
A group of people chased after Shen Yan, with various knife wounds on their bodies, both deep and shallow.
Shen Yan was chased to a tall mound of mud and kicked down by someone.
When filming, Shen Yan didn’t use a stunt double, which Liu Su really wanted to oppose, but Shen Yan had already agreed with Director Li. By the time Liu Su thought to intervene, it was too late.
Director Li viewed Shen Yan in a new light.
Who says young people today can’t endure hardships?
Just look at the delicate Shen Yan—who didn’t even use a stunt double—and rolled down herself without hesitation.
Liu Su watched from the side, his heart stopping.
Xiao Zhao was so scared that he dare not watch.
Shen Yan had no protection and rolled down directly. Although a safe area had been tested, a human body is made of flesh, and such a roll would certainly leave her in pain all over.
The extras immediately reacted, rushing down, ready to lift their swords and finish off Shen Yan.
It was then Mu Jincheng’s turn to make his entrance.
“Mu Jincheng! What are you dazing at!” Director Li roared when he saw Mu Jincheng spacing out at that moment.
Was he going to waste Shen Yan’s roll?
Mu Jincheng quickly adjusted his emotions and was pulled down by the wire rigging.
It was in that instant that Mu Jincheng’s gaze collided with Shen Yan’s.
The camera angle switched to the back, and then to the front, where based on Mu Jincheng’s frowning expression, they would have definitely needed to call cut.
The few pursuers were dealt with.
Mu Jincheng picked up Shen Yan, who was lying in the mud, and the camera zoomed in closely.
The blood packets on Shen Yan’s body were still oozing blood, making her appear close to death, which was heart-wrenching.
Seeing the image of Mu Jincheng half-supporting Shen Yan in his arms, Chu Jinghe clenched his fists, reminding himself it was just acting.
Shen Yan suddenly grabbed Mu Jincheng’s hand, the desperation in her eyes so intense that it shocked Mu Jincheng.
“Save me.”
After Shen Yan delivered the line, she collapsed into Mu Jincheng’s arms.
Mu Jincheng stiffened.
Just now.
He had actually zoned out!
Fortunately, at that moment Director Li called cut.
In one take!
Thankfully, no one noticed his lapse of attention.
The person in Mu Jincheng’s arms suddenly stood up, not lingering at all as she distanced herself from him.
Looking at his empty arms, Mu Jincheng became somewhat dumbfounded.
“Yanyan! Let me help you!” Xiao Zhao jogged over and stood at the slippery area above to pull Shen Yan up.
Shen Yan was all dirty; she needed to quickly clean up her makeup.
Next, she had to go to the cabin to film the indoor scene.
For the indoor scene, she just needed to lie down.
Because that scene was only between Mu Jincheng and another experienced actor.
After the performance, all that was left was the next day’s scenes.
*
“Jinchen, are you okay?” Perhaps Mu Jincheng’s dazed look had alarmed Chu Jinghe. She ran to the front and called out a bit anxiously.
Mu Jincheng instantly snapped back to reality.
His complexion was a bit ugly.
He started to feel that Shen Yan’s action just now was deliberate retribution.
Because he didn’t give her a chance, was it love turning into hate?
Only after Director Li made sure that Shen Yan wasn’t bruised or injured, did he start preparing for the next scene, and then everyone could wrap up and rest.
Mu Jincheng’s acting was still not bad; at least in front of the demanding Director Li, he passed without many NGs (no good takes).
After filming this indoor scene, Shen Yan, just like before, got up to greet her seniors, then returned to her place to rest.
Without giving Mu Jincheng a second glance.
Mu Jincheng stared at Shen Yan’s retreating figure, his gaze somewhat profound.
“Jinchen,” Chu Jinghe walked up to him, blocking his line of sight, “My agent prepared some late-night snacks, let’s eat together.”
The staff nearby overheard and teased them again.
Chu Jinghe invited everyone with a smile, and upon hearing this, everyone happily expressed their thanks!
While Chu Jinghe was building her goodwill outside, Shen Yan had everyone go to rest after removing her makeup.
After a long day, what everyone needed most was rest.
Shen Yan took out a mirror, lifted her shirt, and looked behind her; her fair back was a mess of blues and purples, looking terrifying.
But Shen Yan didn’t feel any pain.
It was just that this body was too delicate and prone to bruising.
Shen Yan merely glanced at it and didn’t bother with it.
*
Liu Su was sending messages to Qi Si again.
He recorded the scene of Shen Yan rolling down the muddy slope and sent it over; it wasn’t live but a screenshot from the camera.
What Qi Si saw upon opening the message was the moment Mu Jincheng rushed down to save someone, capturing only half of Shen Yan’s figure.
Qi Si’s expression chilled after a glance, and then he didn’t reply a single word.
Liu Su kept babbling and sending a bunch of messages.
By the time Liu Su wanted to send another message, an exclamation mark appeared.
Liu Su realized that Qi Si had blocked him!
It was like a bolt from the blue!
He had angered Qi Si!
Poor Liu Su was anxiously running in circles on his side, not daring to call Qi Si.
He was afraid Qi Si would add his number to the blocklist too.
*
The next day, after the makeup artist finished with Shen Yan, Liu Su approached and asked, “Miss Shen, has the gentleman blocked you?”
Shen Yan looked at her pale reflection in the mirror and paused slightly at Liu Su’s words, “Uncle Liu got blocked by him?”
Shen Yan thought that besides being cold, Qi Si’s temper was fairly good. For Uncle Liu to have annoyed him to the point of getting blocked must have taken some doing.
Liu Su looked like he was about to cry, “I was reporting Miss Shen’s recent situation to the gentleman. He probably got annoyed. Miss Shen, try to see if you can send him a message.”
“Why should I message him all of a sudden?” Shen Yan couldn’t comprehend Liu Su’s current train of thought.
“I told Miss Shen before that I have to report everything about Miss Shen to the gentleman. Now that the gentleman has blocked me, Miss Shen has to report to him herself in the future!” Liu Su’s eyes lit up as he spoke.
Right!
How did he not think of that!
He suddenly didn’t feel so gloomy anymore.
Being blocked was good!
This way, he had an excuse to get Shen Yan to send more messages!
Simply perfect!
Seeing Liu Su’s gleaming eyes, Shen Yan knew what he was scheming.
“I need to start shooting. We can talk about anything after I’m done,” Shen Yan didn’t take up Liu Su’s conversational baton and quickly walked out of the temporary tent.
*
Seeing how eager Shen Yan seemed to interact with him, Mu Jincheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking down on such behavior from her.
Shen Yan indeed seemed to be playing hard to get.
Mu Jincheng thought that Shen Yan was feigning modesty to capture his attention.
Once he started thinking this, everything Shen Yan did seemed like a deliberate attempt to lure him in.
Chu Jinghe, who came out early, saw them standing beside the wooden house rehearsing their lines, and jealousy nearly overflowed from her eyes.
She withdrew her steps only when a staff member nearby greeted her with a good morning.
From the time Shen Yan lay down inside the house to waking up, not much real time had passed.
Upon awakening, her first scene was opposite Mu Jincheng.
Mu Jincheng expected a flimsy performance, but by the end of the scene, he belatedly realized that Shen Yan’s acting was quite good!
Acting opposite him, she wasn’t overshadowed, which was almost unbelievable!
Since when did Shen Yan have such acting skills?
Wasn’t it widely said online that her acting was as erratic as her facial features?
Not only was Mu Jincheng surprised, even Chu Jinghe couldn’t believe that Shen Yan could keep up with Mu Jincheng’s performance.
