Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 790 A match made in heaven
On the set, the couple hugged and kissed each other.

Liu Yifei could clearly feel her current state, which reminded her of the time when she was in the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". She was immersed in the character situation of the "Xianling Island" scene for several days in a row. In addition, she was in a passionate love stage with Chu Xuan at that time. After the play, her mental state was so selfless that she vented her love for Chu Xuan. This time she felt the same way.

This is an inner feedback that is difficult to control, and it is also an involuntary reaction. After a few years, I experienced this state again and felt that it was so terrifying. Fortunately, the other person was my husband.

Chu Xuan pushed her away. The kissing scene had been filmed for such a long time without anyone calling for a stop. It was obviously done on purpose by the spectators in the director's group. He looked at Liu Yifei's affectionate eyes and knew that she was too immersed in the role. He couldn't help but tease her to dispel her emotions: "You can also be immersed in the role like this? You are amazing."

There were traces of tears under Liu Yifei's eyes, and there was a little mist in them, which made her look even more pitiful as if she was hurt. In this state, she rolled her eyes slightly when she heard Chu Xuan's words, adding a bit of playfulness: "The fact that I can get into the role shows that I love you very much, you should feel honored."

The words sounded very arrogant, but these were also the true voice in her heart. Not to mention that she had never thought about acting in a love scene with other male actors since she had been with Chu Xuan, even if there came such a day, she would never fall in love.

That is Chu Xuan, the only person in the world who can make her heart moved and also her soul mate.

"It's an honor." Chu Xuan echoed her words. Seeing that she was still in deep affection, he said, "Let's go. If you want to kiss me, go back and kiss me. I promise to cooperate to the end."

Liu Yifei burst into laughter with a "puff". Chu Xuan's words instantly made her lose interest in the play. She immediately raised her fist and punched him angrily: "Have some shame!"

Chu Xuan smiled, took her hand, and the two of them walked towards the director's crew in a loving manner, ignoring the teasing looks from the group of people who were eating dog food, and looked at the playback on the monitor screen.

"This tear is interesting." Chu Xuan saw the tear on Liu Yifei's right eye at the beginning of the game, and he and Tang Jili felt the wonderfulness of it.

"That's fine. The timing is perfect, not bad." Chu Xuan saw the moment Liu Yifei turned her head and saw him, the tear that had been hanging on her face flowed down. The fusion of such a smooth performance rhythm and full emotions was truly amazing.

"Hey." Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yifei and said, "This scene is similar to the one we saw in the drama "Chinese Paladin", where Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger cried at the same time when they passed each other in the corridor. What do you think?"

"Yes, I was just about to say that there is a similar artistic conception." Huang Lei said first.

The scene in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" where the actors shed tears at the same time has long been classified as a classic in the film and television industry. This scene, which cannot be performed through conventional performances and is difficult to replicate, is often used as a reference example in their school's teaching of emotional drama courses.

In the scene just now, Liu Yifei's interpretation also contained the artistic conception presented in this classic clip. However, Chu Xuan's emotions in this scene were passive and were driven by Liu Yifei, so Chu Xuan's performance was quite standard.

Compared to the scene in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" which required tacit understanding and difficulty between men and women, what Liu Yifei performed in this scene was less difficult and more suitable as a teaching example. As a lecturer in the acting department, he believes that Beijing Film Academy will have more teaching materials for emotional dramas in the future.

For the new generation of young people in school, asking them to act out love scenes is simply a disaster. In the past, when he used clips of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's works to teach, those students argued with him, saying that their works were a male-female pairing and they couldn't do it.

The emotional outburst point in the scene just now was Liu Yifei's personal performance, and had nothing to do with Chu Xuan. Now we have to see what those bastards have to say and take a good look at how your senior sister acts in emotional scenes.

"It's a bit like that." Liu Yifei nodded and said, "I think it's more similar to the scene in The Return of the Condor Heroes where Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu meet in the cave, except that the characters' emotions are positioned differently."

"A little bit." Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

For an urban romance drama that can find similarities between their two past works and come up with such a plot design, the screenwriter must be very familiar with them and their works, and it must be Liu Yi.

"Let's just take this one. Don't save any more. No matter how many shots you take, it won't be as good as this one." Tang Jili picked up the mineral water and took a sip.

Chu Xuan nodded. You can’t just get into a role if you want to. Liu Yifei’s performance in this scene was perfect, and it would definitely not be better if she were to shoot again. So he made a decision: “This is it. Let’s call it a day.”

"Director Chu." The staff member handed over a bouquet of flowers and glanced at Liu Xiaoli who walked onto the rooftop.

Chu Xuan understood what she meant and walked over with the flowers to hand them to his mother: "Mom, congratulations on finishing the filming."

"Congratulations!" Tang Jili applauded.

"Congratulations." People nearby congratulated Liu Xiaoli.

"Oh, you're so polite." Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but take the flowers and teased her son-in-law: "Thank you, director. You've worked hard."

She had finished filming all her scenes for "My Love from the Star" and she felt a little emotional. The filming was quite fun and she was still interested in it. But it ended like this and she felt a little unsatisfied.

But after all, she just regarded it as an experience, and also as a way to help her daughter and son-in-law's careers. She was happy that her role was completed, and she felt relieved.

Amidst the atmosphere of everyone chatting and laughing, they went downstairs, got into their cars, and returned to the hotel to rest.

The family took the elevator upstairs. As soon as they walked out of the elevator, they saw Zhang Shaohan and others walking in the corridor in front of them. Liu Yifei called out, "Angela."

Angela was Zhang Shaohan's English name when she lived in Canada with her family. It is also a direct Chinese translation of the English name. After getting familiar with Zhang Shaohan these days, everyone called her that.

"Chu Xuan, Xixi."

"Boss Chu, Boss Liu, Sister Liu."

Several people stopped, turned around, looked at the family, and greeted each of them.

Chen Luyu stroked her short hair and said, "I will go back to the program tomorrow. I will record the two scheduled programs first, and then contact Angela to record the program."

I have been staying with Zhang Shaohan these past few days and learned a lot about his life experiences.

After a few days of getting along, we have obtained enough interview material, so we can prepare for Zhang Shaohan to appear on the show.

"Have you finished your chat? Thank you for your hard work, Sister Chen." Chu Xuan said.

"It's not hard, just a small matter." Chen Luyu said indifferently.

Li Hong also wanted to say goodbye: "Boss Chu, Boss Liu, I will also return to Beijing tomorrow. I will split the materials into manuscripts in advance for preparation."

These days, it was basically Chen Luyu who asked the questions, and he just listened beside her, recording with a recorder.

The time of a program is limited, the content of the interview is limited, and the news that can be reported is also limited.

And much of the massive amount of information he obtained privately from Zhang Shaohan in advance will not be included in the show.

For example, it is inappropriate for Zhang Shaohan to criticize his own family on the show, as this would not be good if spread out, but they, the media, can help Zhang Shaohan to criticize, allowing the public to divert hatred on a large scale after gaining deeper insight into the truth.

However, there are too many factors, so we always have to spend time focusing on the key points and details, and then go back to write down these effective information in order to be prepared for a reversal of public opinion in advance.

"Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work. We have something to do tomorrow and cannot leave, so we won't see you off tomorrow. See you then." Chu Xuan said.

"No need to see me off, no need to see me off. See you in a few days." Li Hong shook his head repeatedly, and Chen Luyu nodded beside him.

After seeing Chu Xuan finish speaking, Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Shaohan and said, "Angela, you should have a good rest in the hotel for the next few days. If you are not afraid of the heat, come to the crew to play with us."

"Okay, sorry to bother you." Zhang Shaohan said with a smile, looking very happy.

Sister Zhang Hanxuan was very happy because these people were really helping her, and a good result seemed to be getting closer and closer. Her sister was also gradually regaining her former cheerfulness, which made her feel very happy.

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

……

The sun rises and the moon sets, and sunlight shines into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.

Liu Yifei opened her eyes hazily, took out her white arms from under the quilt, stretched and yawned, then picked up the mobile phone under the pillow and looked at it. It was just past six in the morning.

The cold air from the air conditioner felt chilly on her hands. She put her phone away, tucked her hands into the quilt, and put her arms around Chu Xuan's back.

Feeling the breath from Chu Xuan who was still sleeping soundly, she was filled with lingering emotions and nuzzled in Chu Xuan's arms like a kitten, then closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap.

After an unknown amount of time, she opened her eyes again and found Chu Xuan still sleeping soundly. She picked up her phone and looked at it. She was a little surprised that it was already eight o'clock. She felt that she had not slept for long, but she did not expect that more than an hour had passed. Time really flies.

She put on her pajamas, got out of bed, picked up the clothes scattered on the bed, pulled out the messy blanket on the bed, went to the bathroom to wash and take a shower.

The scattered clothes and messy blankets were the result of falling in love during the play last night.

Falling in love because of the play? For her and Chu Xuan, who have a deep relationship as the basis and have already obtained their marriage certificate, these four words should not exist.

We already have deep feelings for each other, so why fall in love because of a play?
But without personal experience, there will be no clear understanding. It is no wonder that those seemingly loving couples or certain actors in the industry would have some scandals, the so-called crew couples. At this moment, she completely understood what was going on.

Sometimes, once you get into the role and your emotions are so deep, you often can’t control yourself.

"In the future, I will never let Chu Xuan act with other actresses." She had this firm idea in her mind.

She had thought before, would the market become tired of her always partnering with Chu Xuan? Maybe if she changed an actress who didn't play a romantic role to partner with Chu Xuan, would it refresh the perception?
There was still no answer to this thought, but at this moment she threw it out of her mind.

Why change the actress? It's not like we can't make a movie without a female lead. If she can't act in the future due to some circumstances, then let Chu Xuan play the male lead alone. How good is that?

Chu Xuan, who was sleeping, had never expected that Director Liu would instantly decide on a male-dominated interpretation route for him.

At this moment, the cell phone rang in the bedroom.

Liu Yifei turned off the faucet, stopped washing clothes, wiped her hands on the hanging towel, and walked out of the bathroom to answer the phone.

But halfway through the walk, the ringing suddenly stopped. Chu Xuan must have been woken up and answered the phone for her: "Okay, we'll be right over."

Seeing Liu Yifei appear, Chu Xuan put down his phone, yawned and said, "My aunt is here. She's in my mother's room."

"Already next door?" Liu Yifei was surprised, and immediately frowned and urged: "Then get up quickly, let's go say hello first."

"Okay." Chu Xuan cheered himself up and got rid of his bad mood. He got out of bed and dressed quickly. Without brushing his teeth or washing his face, he and Liu Yifei rushed to his mother's suite next door.

My mother has been looking at houses in Shenzhen for more than a month. After looking around, she still thinks that the sea view house in Banshan Sea View Villa Park is the best. It is also the 5800-square-meter sea view villa that she took them to see that day. On the way, they also happened to meet Ma Huateng, which also made the couple remember the scene of house viewing that day vividly.

The house is really nice, both in terms of environment and location. There is nothing to complain about as a wedding house.

A few days ago, my mother and I went to look at other places, but none of them were as good as this place. After my mother asked for their opinions, they chose this place.

After getting their approval, my mother stopped looking for houses. Firstly, she had almost seen all the high-end properties in Shenzhen after more than a month of wandering around. Secondly, the filming of "My Love from the Star" would be wrapped soon, and the mother and daughter would then go to New Haven, USA to complete their studies.

The time seems a bit tight, so it is best to book the wedding room while there is still some time before the crew finishes filming, and also have some time to discuss with my aunt-in-law how to decorate the wedding room.

My mother has always been very organized in doing things. She can plan everything out, including what to do at what stage and how much time it will take. This is completely opposite to my wife's personality of "going with the flow and being comfortable". This is also the result of my mother's training.

The wedding house has been booked. As the aunt who took care of their wedding, I arranged things in Wuhan after receiving their call and flew over this morning.

When the elders of the family arrived, as the younger generation, they would of course go to meet them and say hello first. However, what the couple did not expect was that not only did the eldest aunt-in-law come, she also brought two sets of wedding dresses.

To be precise, it is the wedding dress for men and women in ancient Ming Dynasty weddings.

"Is this a wedding dress? Has it been made?"

Liu Xiaoli, Zeng Ni, Lu Tao and personal makeup artist Sister Li were all discussing the ancient costumes displayed on the hangers. Liu Yifei was also very interested and ran forward to look at the clothes inside and out, flipping them over.

Chu Xuan took a look and found the men's clothing as he could imagine. It was bright red, and except for the details of the patterns, it didn't look much different from the wedding suits of grooms in many costume dramas.

However, women's clothing is rarely seen in film and television dramas. Dark green is the main color, red is only the secondary color of the lace, and gold and silver threads are used as pattern edging. Such ancient wedding dresses for women are rare, very delicate, and elegant.

"Hurry up, try them on." Liu Xiaoli, as a mother, was extremely interested. Seeing that her aunt-in-law had brought wedding clothes, she was eager to see how her daughter and son-in-law looked in them.

"Go and put it on quickly to see if it fits. If there's anything wrong, I'll take a photo and take it back to the merchant to make changes." The aunt-in-law also became interested. After getting the young couple's body data during the Chinese New Year, the first thing she did was to customize a pair of Ming Dynasty wedding costumes. Now, nearly two months have passed since the Chinese New Year, and the merchant has already made the main body of the clothes, so she brought it with her when she came to see the bridal chamber.

Wear it now? ... Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. However, under the scorching gazes of their mother and aunt, they each took their clothes and went back to their rooms to change.

This ancient costume is just a coat, which is also the main body of the suit. The miscellaneous parts such as the hat and clothes have not been made yet. In this case, it is not difficult to wear.

After Liu Yifei put on her clothes, she turned around in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Her first impression of the outfit was very good, but she didn't think too much about it. She focused more on Chu Xuan, who was wearing the bright red groom's clothes.

She winked mischievously, squatted slightly and saluted: "Husband, your wife greets you."

"Wife..." Chu Xuan arranged his clothes with both hands as he walked out with her: "What kind of address is this? In the Ming and Qing dynasties, people either called me 'I' or 'concubine'. This is the first time I've heard of calling someone wife."

Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan's arm and said, "Men and women are equal. Aren't husbands often called husbands? Why can't wives be called wives?"

"That makes sense." Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing: "But I think it's more appropriate for you to call me 'the queen'. Your clothes are quite elegant and have the demeanor of a queen."

Liu Yifei smiled and was about to say something when someone in front of her started to make a noise.

"Yo yo yo! What are these two going to do?"

"Is this a wedding ceremony?"

"Where's the wedding candy?"

"Oh, ancient costumes. Are you going to have an ancient costume wedding?"

Zhou Jie Lun, Huang Lei, Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Yang Mi and others set out to join the crew. They had just gone out as scheduled when they saw this scene. Seeing Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei wearing ancient wedding dresses, they all smiled and joked about it.

Liu Xiaoli and her aunt also walked to the door of the room to act as spectators. When they saw the couple change into their clothes and look like a perfect match made in heaven, the two elders watched with a smile.

Facing their friends' jokes, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei felt embarrassed and didn't say much to them. They just said, "I'll leave the morning show to you."

I have to accompany my aunt-in-law to go house-hunting later, so the crew can only be taken care of by the teachers temporarily.

Last night, I heard Chu Xuan arrange for me to take a day off today. Seeing this scene, Zhou Jie Lun and others roughly understood that the couple was busy with the wedding, and they joked a few words with each other and left.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei thought to themselves, you can joke around now, but wait until next year when you wear ancient costumes to the wedding, we’ll see who makes fun of whom.

"Wow, your clothes really match each other well, do you like it?"

"Just these two sets. I can describe them in one sentence: a match made in heaven! Trust me, just these two sets. You can't go wrong."

Liu Xiaoli and her aunt-in-law circled around the couple, looking at them and praising them.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also thought the clothes were nice, and seeing how happy the two elders were, they decided on these two styles.

"That's settled then. Some places still need to be modified, and then the rest of the matching outfits can be made." Seeing that the couple accepted this style, the aunt-in-law was also happy that she had finally accomplished something for the couple's wedding on behalf of the An family.
