Chapter 123 I Want to Kiss Your Dimples
On the set of "The Immortal".
Director Xu Hui was talking to Chi Yuan. He was a veteran director in the industry and was personally invited by Jiang Haochen, so he spoke very directly to the actor.
"You're the male lead, but you were also the last to be cast. How's the script coming along?"
Chi Yuan immediately replied, "I've read the entire script."
Xu Hui: "What's the use of watching it? You need to understand the characters."
Chi Yuan wasn't angry and said good-naturedly, "Then let me explain my understanding of the character?"
Over the next ten minutes, Chi Yuan clearly explained her understanding of the male lead. Jiang Haochen, the sugar daddy, sat by the side the whole time, showing no intention of speaking up for the male lead whom he had gotten in through connections.
As Chi Yuan explained the character, Xu Hui's expression shifted from skepticism to surprise, and finally to satisfaction: "You understand it quite well."
"Thank you, director." No actor would be unhappy with a director's approval.
After thanking the director, Chi Yuan's second reaction was to look at Jiang Haochen beside him, his eyes sparkling, clearly seeking praise.
Jiang Haochen immediately gave a thumbs up.
Chi Yuan was even happier, his lips curving into a smile that revealed two shallow dimples.
Jiang Haochen's eyes darkened slightly. He suddenly realized that he hadn't kissed those two dimples yet.
However, when in bed, the boy did cry more often than he laughed.
You can't do it all at the same time and make the boy laugh.
"Why are you crying? I'll make you laugh, make you smile and show your dimples!" Jiang Haochen imagined the scene and suddenly felt that he was quite perverted.
"That smile won't do," Xu Hui couldn't help but say when he saw Chi Yuan's smile revealing his two dimples. "Xu Changsheng isn't the kind of soft and cute person you are."
Chi Yuan let out a sound of surprise and immediately stopped laughing.
Xu Hui wouldn't let him off the hook: "Give me another smile."
Jiang Haochen couldn't take it anymore: "Director Xu, are you harassing our young actors?"
Xu Hui rolled his eyes at him, annoyed: "Go away, I'm giving you acting instructions, you actor who doesn't act, get out of here."
Xu Hui highly approves of Jiang Haochen's acting skills, so he has some reservations about Jiang retiring from acting at such a young age.
After scolding Jiang Haochen, Xu Hui looked at Chi Yuan and said, "I'm talking to you. Smile again."
Chi Yuan had no choice but to smile again using Xu Changsheng's persona. Strangely enough, even though it was the same face, the two smiles were completely different.
The former is soft and cute, while the latter is gentle yet resilient.
Xu Hui nodded and continued, "There's a scene in the script where the male and female leads first meet. You've read it, right?"
Chi Yuan nodded: "I've seen it."
Xu Hui: "This time, the youth segment only covers the male lead's Golden Core stage. The female lead only has one scene, their first encounter, which can be filmed in half a day. Lin Yao's agent just came to say they want to film that scene ahead of schedule. Do you have any objections?"
Lin Yao is the actress who plays the female lead. Although she is only a special guest star, she is a top-tier actress in the industry. She has a beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament, which perfectly matches the temperament of the female lead in the book.
Lin Yao is now the top female streamer at Tianyu, and her role as the older sister was entirely due to President Jiang's influence.
Chi Yuan nodded: "I have no objection."
Xu Hui was satisfied: "Alright, get ready, we'll film this scene this afternoon."
Chi Yuan hurriedly stood up: "I'll go prepare right away."
In Jiang Haochen's film crew, Chi Yuan finally got his own RV, and he stood up to walk towards it. As he passed by Jiang Haochen, Jiang Haochen suddenly called out to him.
"Chi Yuan."
Chi Yuan stopped and waited for Jiang Haochen to walk towards him.
Jiang Haochen approached with a serious expression, as if discussing business, and said, "I want to kiss your dimples."
Chi Yuan's acting skills are still immature; he can't be so serious while flirting, and his face instantly turned red.
The culprit, however, acted as if nothing had happened, bypassing him to discuss other matters with Director Xu.
Chi Yuan blushed and ran back to the RV.
A moment later, Jiang Haochen received a WeChat message.
Chi Yuan: {I'll give you a kiss tonight.}
Jiang Haochen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Director Xu said impatiently, "I'm talking to you about something, what are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Jiang Haochen put away his phone: "Please continue."
-
In the afternoon, on the filming location.
Lin Yao and Chi Yuan were both dressed and made up, and began filming.
Because it was the first scene of the filming, and also a key scene where the male and female leads first met, Jiang Haochen was watching from the side.
Director Xu was explaining the scene: "You've all read the script, so I won't go into too much detail. I'll mainly talk about the feeling I want. The meeting between the male and female leads is a crucial turning point for the male lead on his path to immortality, and at the same time, he falls in love with the female lead at first sight. This scene needs to be filmed very beautifully. Lin Yao, you need to capture an ethereal and otherworldly quality, but not too aloof."
Lin Yao nodded: "I understand."
Director Xu turned to Chi Yuan: "Although you fell in love with the female lead at first sight, I can't create that kind of romantic, idol-drama-like atmosphere for you. I can only give you a close-up shot. Your emotions are very important, understand?"
Chi Yuan nodded: "Understood."
Lin Yao knew that Chi Yuan had filmed this scene in advance with her cooperation, so she smiled and comforted him, "Don't be nervous. If you can play the Fox Ancestor well, this will definitely be no problem either."
Chi Yuan's portrayal of the Fox Ancestor became a sensation not only because of his own good looks, but more so because of the emotions he imbued in the character. That captivating allure at first glance remains unmatched to this day.
Chi Yuan hummed in response, but he was actually nervous, not because he was afraid of being scolded by the director, but because Mr. Jiang was watching him.
He subconsciously glanced in Jiang Haochen's direction again, but Jiang Haochen was discussing business with the other crew members and didn't look at him.
At this point, the set was ready, and Chi Yuan and Lin Yao entered.
Ji Won plays Xu Changsheng, who is resting under a tree in the mountains. It is a bright and sunny spring day, but suddenly it starts to snow. Xu Changsheng is awakened and opens his eyes to see the female lead flying down from the sky, her beautiful clothes fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth.
The director wanted to film the moment when the two opened their eyes and looked at each other.
Director Xu: "Action!"
Chi Yuan relaxed his body, lay down under the tree, and opened his eyes after calculating the time.
Director Xu: "Push the camera in!"
In the scene, the figure of the female protagonist gradually appeared in the clear eyes of the young Xu Changsheng, who was as clear as a stream. He was confused, doubtful, and surprised, and his emotions changed. Finally, he saw the female protagonist's stunningly beautiful face.
The emotions in the boy's eyes faded, leaving only amazement. This amazement was devoid of any evil thoughts; it was simply pure liking, as if he had seen the most beautiful thing in the world.
Filming continued, but Director Xu couldn't help but say to Jiang Haochen, who was sitting next to him, "This kid has a good understanding; he picks things up right away. I thought you chose him based on his looks, but it turns out he's quite capable."
Jiang Haochen smiled with a sense of pride.
On the monitor, two handsome faces appeared in the same frame. Compared to the female lead's ethereal and elegant attire, the simple boy in the blue shirt was in no way overshadowed.
The blue coarse cloth headband and the heroine's water- and fire-resistant spirit gauze were blown by the wind, creating an unexpected harmony.
"Good, that's a pass!" Director Xu praised.
Lin Yao and Chi Yuan, having heard this, both breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a smile, and walked towards the director together. They were quite satisfied with the footage they had seen.
Lin Yao went even further, saying, "That look in your eyes, Chi Yuan, do you have a girlfriend? Why don't you talk to your older sister? I'm only five years older than you..."
Chi Yuan couldn't take it anymore and stammered awkwardly, "I... I didn't..."
Jiang Haochen said irritably, "Don't tease him, he's easily embarrassed."
Lin Yao joked, "What's wrong? The way you're talking makes it sound like Chi Yuan is yours."
Jiang Haochen subconsciously replied, "Yes."
The moment those two words were uttered, everyone was startled, and all three pairs of eyes turned to Jiang Haochen.
Chi Yuan, in particular, held his breath in tension.
Jiang Haochen: "Aren't you also from my family? We're both artists under Tianyu Entertainment."
Lin Yao immediately scoffed.
Chi Yuan also smiled, but didn't look at Jiang Haochen again.
