Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 35】

When Cheng Xia came out of the lounge, the assistant, Sister Rong, hurriedly put the down jacket on him, and seeing that Cheng Xia was holding a pair of white hand warmers, which were obviously not prepared by her earlier, Sister Rong couldn't help but wondered: "Cheng Xia, Where did you get your hand warmer?"

"..." Cheng Xia was embarrassed to say that Mr. Pei gave it to him, so he made up an excuse: "I bought some things online a few days ago. The address was written as the company, and I forgot to take it. Mr. Pei saw it at the guard today. By the way Bring it to me."

This can also explain why Pei Shaoze told him to go in and why he was carrying a bag when he went out.

Of course, Cheng Xia also felt that the excuse she made up was really bad, but fortunately, Sister Rong didn't think too much about it, and said with a smile: "Oh, Director Liu called you, the scene at the school gate has been filmed, let's move on to the next scene."

When mentioning work, Cheng Xia's expression immediately became serious: "Okay, I'll go there now!"

When he followed Sister Rong to the playground, the crew had already set up the scene there.

It snowed heavily today, because there were no students during the holiday, not even a single footprint could be seen on the vast white playground, and the dry trees around were also covered with thick snow, the whole world was pure white, clean and spotless Ran, Cheng Xia stood by the playground, and couldn't bear to step on it to destroy such a beautiful scenery.

Director Liu was wrapped in a thick down jacket and was watching from the side of the playground, with screenwriter Xu and teacher Lemongrass standing beside him.When Cheng Xia walked over, Director Liu asked, "Do you think it can be done?"

Xu Moran frowned in confusion: "This scene has a bit high requirements for the actors. Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian have known each other for a long time, and they are filming rival scenes. If the tacit understanding is not enough, it is easy to NG frequently."

Liu Xueyi raised his head and looked into the distance. After a while, he sighed and said, "Such a snowy day is hard to come across. Today's snow scene is so beautiful, the effect of the shooting must be very shocking. Sigh, I don't know how many days it will be again." There will be no weather like this."

Lemongrass said softly, "Director Liu, why don't you ask the actors for their opinions."

"Well, I've sent people to call them." Director Liu said this, turned his head, met Cheng Xia's eyes, and waved to Cheng Xia hurriedly: "Cheng Xia, come here."

Cheng Xia trotted over: "Director Liu."

Liu Xueyi asked: "Can you act opposite Ye Mingqian? There is a scene where Xu Fei confesses to Qin Nian. Today's weather is really suitable. The pure natural snow scene is real and beautiful."

Cheng Xia said seriously: "Director Liu, I can try."

Liu Xueyi was overjoyed, and patted Cheng Xia on the shoulder: "Great, let's try it first! You have read the original book, and you should know that Qin Nian simply regarded Xu Fei as a friend, and he was very protective and caring for Xu Fei. Xu Fei fell in love with Qin Nian, and when he confessed to Qin Nian, Qin Nian already knew that he had become an Omega."

Cheng Xia nodded: "Well, Mr. Lu Fengyang said that Xu Fei in the next class is the most beautiful omega in the school. Qin Nian likes Lu Fengyang, but in the end, Xu Fei, who Lu Fengyang fell in love with, confessed to him Yes, his mood is very complicated, I want to act out his emotional changes in this scene."

Qin Nian secretly likes Lu Fengyang, and Lu Fengyang likes Xu Fei's beauty, but Xu Fei suddenly confesses to Qin Nian. What's even more sad is that Qin Nian just learned that he has split into an Omega.

The dramatic development simply made him dumbfounded.

It is not easy to show this complex emotional transformation.But Director Liu had confidence in Cheng Xia after seeing Cheng Xia's performance during the audition, so he brought up Cheng Xia's and Ye Mingqian's rivalry scene, and wanted to take advantage of this rare snowy day to finish filming this key scene.

Lemongrass smiled and encouraged: "Cheng Xia, come on, I believe you can catch Ye Mingqian's play."

In the whole crew, Ye Mingqian is the most popular - with more than 400 million fans.The acting skills are also the best - the literary films he participated in scored more than 9.5 points, and his crying scenes broke countless hearts.

Playing against this great god, Cheng Xia's pressure is not ordinary.

But since the director made the request, he couldn't back down, so he agreed on the spot.

After a while, Ye Mingqian was called to the set, Liu Xueyi whispered some precautions to him, and then asked Ye Mingqian and Cheng Xia to recite the script in the corner next to them.

After the start of the production, the whole crew conducted a script reading. Both of them are very familiar with the script, but they have not formally confronted each other.

Ye Mingqian looked relaxed, with a smile in his eyes.Cheng Xia was a little nervous, her voice was dry, obviously unable to let go.

Suddenly, Ye Mingqian came over, pressed his ear, and said softly in a deceptively ambiguous tone: "Cheng Xia, I like you."

Cheng Xia's heart skipped a beat, her face flushed red: "You, what did you say?"

Ye Mingqian returned to his original position, looked at him and said, "Don't be nervous, just kidding. I'm an Omega, and I won't mark you like an Alpha. Relax, don't you think the weather is cold today?"

Cheng Xia answered subconsciously: "It's quite cold..."

Ye Mingqian's peach blossom eyes are full of gentle smiles: "So, let's pass this scene as few times as possible, I don't want to stand in the snow and confess to you seven or eight times, freezing into a popsicle .”

Cheng Xia was amused by him and laughed: "That's right, you have a lot of lines in this scene. If you NG frequently, you have to repeat 'I like you' all the time, it's too embarrassing."

Ye Mingqian put away the script and said seriously: "I have almost memorized the lines, let's check it out."

Cheng Xia noticed with sharp eyes that Ye Mingqian had sketched and marked a lot of notes on the script, and she also admired this Omega actor in her heart.It is reasonable for Ye Mingqian to become popular so quickly. He is the most popular one in the entire crew, but he is concentrating on studying the script instead of playing big names and flirting with the newcomers.Cheng Xia's affection for him suddenly increased a lot.

Cheng Xia's script was also marked with notes. The two saw each other's script, looked at each other and smiled, put down the script and started to play against each other.

"Qin Nian, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

"Xu Fei?"

Both of them have very good memories, they can memorize the script by heart, and they read the lines smoothly.

After finishing reading, Cheng Xia suddenly asked curiously: "I remember the audition day, you looked taller than me, why today..."

Ye Mingqian leaned over and said softly: "My real height is 177 cm, which is 1 cm shorter than yours. On the day of the audition, in order to strengthen my aura, I wore a pair of sneakers with inner heightening."

Cheng Xia's eyes widened slightly: "Shoes with inner heightening?"

Ye Mingqian taught him his experience: "Yes, especially when playing with actors who are too tall, the director not only asked me to wear height-increasing shoes, but also put a brick under my feet. There is no way, the Alpha in the circle is generally above 185."

Cheng Xia nodded in agreement: "There is also a 1.9-meter-high one, which is too tall. You have to look up at him."

Ye Mingqian laughed softly: "It's about 1.9 meters, do you mean Mr. Pei?"

Cheng Xia looked around, and happened to meet Pei Shaoze's gaze not far away.His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly evaded the problem and dealt with it lightly: "Not only Mr. Pei, but also a lot of Alpha actors in the circle who are over 1.9 meters tall. I really don't know what's going on with their genes, one is taller than the other."

Ye Mingqian smiled and said, "Don't everyone say that Alpha has well-developed limbs and a simple mind?"

Cheng Xia subconsciously shook her head and objected: "I think Mr. Pei is very calm, wise, and very principled. Alpha has all kinds of things, so we can't generalize them."

……

In the distance, Pei Shaoze felt very relieved when he saw the scene of Ye Mingqian chatting with Cheng Xia.He was very worried that Cheng Xia would be suppressed by Ye Mingqian, after all, Cheng Xia was far less famous than Ye Mingqian.Unexpectedly, the two Omegas got along fairly well, and whispered together, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

He was very interested in this scene, so he simply went to sit next to Director Liu and wanted to see it for himself.

Soon, the assistant director called: "Ming Qian, Cheng Xia, get ready."

The two walked side by side from the corner.

Director Liu stepped forward and personally taught them how to move around later, and both of them expressed their understanding.

With all the departments of the crew in place, the filming officially began.

Snowy day, early morning.

Cheng Xia came to the school with her schoolbag on her back, and not long after entering the school gate, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Qin Nian, wait a minute!" He turned around and found "school grass" Xu Fei standing there smiling at him.

Cheng Xia smiled brightly at the other party: "Xu Fei, are you here so early?"

Ye Mingqian stepped forward and stopped half a meter away from Cheng Xia. He suddenly took out a plaid scarf from his schoolbag, looked at Cheng Xia tenderly and said, "The temperature has dropped recently. I bought a scarf for you. Think of it as a Christmas gift, thank you for helping me check the information in the previous composition contest."

Cheng Xia hurriedly waved her hands: "No need, old classmate, why are you being so polite!"

Ye Mingqian's voice was extremely gentle: "Just accept my little love." After he finished speaking, he unfolded the scarf, carefully wrapped it around Cheng Xia's neck, and said, "You look good wearing it."

Cheng Xia fiddled with the scarf around her neck helplessly, and said with a smile, "Thank you then."

The two walked forward side by side, chatting about the recent exams while walking.Both of them are academic masters, but one is liberal arts and the other is science.When he got near the playground, Ye Mingqian stopped suddenly, looked at the spectacular snow scene on the playground, and said softly: "It's snowing, the scenery here is really beautiful."

Two cameras followed all the way, Director Liu sat in front of the monitor, clenched his fists excitedly——

So beautiful!

The handsome "Qin Nian" and the beautiful "Xu Fei" stood together, surrounded by heavy snow, and the whole world was carved out of ice. Although the audience knew that the two were Omega, but when these two stood together, the picture was pleasing to the eye!

The two stood side by side for a few seconds, and Ye Mingqian suddenly said softly, "Qin Nian, do you have someone you like?"

Cheng Xia has read the original book many times, and the name Qin Nian has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.He said "Qin Nian", as if he had also become Qin Nian. He knew that he had become an Omega, and that he fell in love with his good friend Lu Fengyang. Ye Mingqian's words brought back countless memories in him, and he was slightly stunned. , looked away uncomfortably, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "The person I like? No, I am busy doing homework every day, so I don't have time to think about it." The voice gradually weakened because of guilty conscience.

Ye Mingqian said: "I have fallen in love with a person, and I have liked him for a long time. When I first met him in middle school, I felt that he was as warm as sunshine. As long as I am with him, I am very happy." Ye Mingqian looked back at Cheng Xia, Cheng Xia immediately caught his play, and asked curiously: "Being loved by you for so many years, that buddy is really lucky, who is it?"

Ye Mingqian's eyes were extremely gentle, he looked straight into Cheng Xia's eyes, and said seriously: "It's you."

At first, Cheng Xia thought she had heard it wrong, and looked at Ye Mingqian suspiciously. After meeting his gentle eyes, Cheng Xia's eyes gradually widened, and a blush suddenly appeared on her face: "You, don't be kidding me!" .”

Ye Mingqian stared at him: "It's not a joke. I like you, and I mean it."

Cheng Xia froze in place at a loss, and was suddenly confessed by an Omega, who was also the dream lover of the whole school's Alpha, and he just split into an Omega a few days ago, what kind of weird plot is this?

He was stunned for three seconds, then came back to his senses as if struck by lightning, and said in a panic: "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't know when you started liking me, but I... I only treat you as... ..."

Ye Mingqian's eyes darkened: "Only as friends?"

Cheng Xia scratched her hair, and stammered with a blushing face: "Xu Fei, you are really good, I am not good enough for you...you deserve a better Alpha. Yes, I'm sorry...I never thought I've been with you..."

"Is it okay to try? I really like you."

"No."

Tears gradually welled up in Ye Mingqian's eyes.

Cheng Xia gritted her teeth, and clenched the fingers on her side tightly.

After a while, he made up his mind, lowered his head and said, "Sorry, we won't have any results, you better stop thinking about it." Cheng Xia turned around, with an extremely complicated expression on his face, and walked quickly as if fleeing go far.

Ye Mingqian, who was standing in the snow, held back his tears and looked towards the direction Cheng Xia left.He walked in a hurry, and his figure quickly merged into the overwhelming snow.The camera gradually zoomed out, leaving only the thin back of the tearful boy in the snow.

At the end of a scene, Liu Xueyi didn't call to stop, but leaned in front of the monitoring screen to watch the replay carefully.

It is not unusual for Ye Mingqian to be able to enter the play so quickly, even crying when he says he wants to. After all, Ye Mingqian's acting skills and crying scenes have been widely recognized by directors in the circle.What he didn't expect was... Cheng Xia was able to catch it!

From the beginning to the end, the lines are not bad, and the performance of emotions and actions is also very good.He performed the complex and tangled expression vividly - shocked, suspicious, at a loss, and finally fled!

The two moved and remained still, and the scene of confessing in the snow completely exceeded Director Liu's expectation!

After watching the replay three times in a row, Liu Xueyi asked in a low voice, "How does Mr. Pei feel?"

Pei Shaoze nodded: "It's good. But I can still keep improving and make up some details."

Liu Xueyi also thought so, he stood up and walked in front of the two actors, and whispered a few words, asking them to act again.Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian looked at each other and started from the beginning.

The degree of completion this time is even better than before. The details of Cheng Xia's actions have become more aura, and the scene of Ye Mingqian crying at the end is also very distressing.

During the third time, Liu Xueyi couldn't help but slapped his thigh: "It's great, this scene is over!"

The surrounding staff were a little surprised.

The confession scene is the most difficult to shoot. When someone stares at you and says I like you, it’s easy to laugh, and you won’t be ashamed to call it a confession scene seven or eight times.

But today, the confrontation between Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian went so smoothly, it actually passed three times!In particular, as a newcomer, Cheng Xia was able to keep up with Ye Mingqian's rhythm, and acted back and forth with Ye Mingqian, which was completely unexpected by the director, screenwriter and author.

Lemongrass looked at Cheng Xia's direction, her expression was very moved, she said softly: "When I was reading the script that day, I saw that Cheng Xia's script was full of notes. He was very serious and studied Qin Nian every day. The characters and lines are also memorized by heart. Therefore, as long as someone takes him, he will enter the play very quickly, and he has already regarded himself as Qin Nian."

Screenwriter Xu also praised: "This kid is very talented in acting, and he is willing to work hard. He will definitely be popular in the future!"

Liu Xue looked at Pei Shaoze: "What do you think, Boss Pei?"

However, Pei Shaoze's eyes kept falling on Cheng Xia not far away.

I thought the scene would be stuck for a long time, but I passed it three times. Cheng Xia was very happy and was standing there chatting with Ye Mingqian.He was holding the hand warmer Pei Shaoze gave him in his hand, he was wearing a white down jacket, his cheeks were a little red from the cold, but his eyes were full of smiles.

The seedlings he raised were praised by so many people, of course Pei Shaoze was in a happy mood.This kind of mentality is probably the same as the mentality of parents when they hear the neighbor next door praise their children?

Pei Shaoze gave a faint "hmm", put on a business-like attitude, and said, "Cheng Xia is a good newcomer. Taking advantage of the rare heavy snow today, we can film more scenes between him and Ye Mingqian."

Liu Xueyi also thought so, and immediately asked the assistant director to prepare.

Pei Shaoze stayed on the set for a day.

On this day, the production team was progressing very fast. Once Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian formed a tacit understanding, the filming of subsequent scenes became smoother and smoother.I thought it would be filming until late at night, but it ended after five o'clock in the afternoon. Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian's rivalry scene was amazingly completed, and the entire crew was elated.

Pei Shaoze also brought his follower brother home early.

On the way, Pei Shaoyan kept swiping his phone. Pei Shaoze thought he was bored watching the news, but as soon as he entered the house, Pei Shaoyan came over mysteriously and said, "Brother, if an actor's birthday happens to be during filming, will the crew help you?" Are the actors celebrating?"

Pei Shaoze nodded: "Of course. In this case, the actor won't ask for leave to go home. He must celebrate his birthday with the crew."

Pei Shaoyan was thoughtful: "I checked the birthdays of all the protagonists and important supporting actors in the crew today, and found that Cheng Xia's birthday is March 3, a passionate and energetic Aries! It is already late February, not far from his birthday oh."

Pei Shaoze: "...?"

Facing his older brother's puzzled gaze, Pei Shaoyan chuckled and said, "You are the producer, Cheng Xia performed so well today, and I don't have the slightest fear of playing with someone as good as Ye Mingqian! The director, screenwriter, and author are all on the scene. Praise him, shouldn't a producer reward him? Let alone a birthday! Take this opportunity to give him some presents, it's only natural!"

Pei Shaoze was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It's also... his birthday, I should prepare well."

Pei Zha in the original book never celebrated a birthday with Cheng Xia.It seems that every year on Cheng Xia's birthday, the person who never takes Cheng Xia seriously will miss it for various reasons.

Not this time, Pei Shaoze thought, he would personally accompany Cheng Xia to spend Cheng Xia's 19th birthday in the crew.

Just give Cheng Xia a warm memory.
