Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 36】

In the blink of an eye, the crew of "Folding Paper" has been on for a week.

According to the arrangement in the announcement, Liu Xueyi completed all the solo scenes of several actors in winter. Due to the tacit cooperation between Cheng Xia and Ye Mingqian, he also took the time to finish filming the rival scenes between Qin Nian and Xu Fei in the original book.

It's the weekend and it's snowing again.

Liu Xueyi called Cheng Xia and Shen Kai to the side early in the morning, and patiently told him: "You two are familiar with each other now, right? Today we are mainly filming the rival scenes between Qin Nian and Lu Fengyang. Don't be nervous, go to the side to check the lines first. , make some preparations."

The two came to a quiet corner, took the script and began to talk about their lines.

Cheng Xia didn't have a deep impression of Shen Kai, the Alpha. These days, he was basically filming separately and didn't have much contact with him. Shen Kai's attitude towards him was fairly friendly, and the two would greet each other and chat casually when they met.

But familiar?They really don't know each other well.

Shen Kai was wearing a school uniform and a black down jacket. He was half a head taller than Cheng Xia. Because Lu Fengyang, who he was going to play, was initially set to be a "unlearned and ignorant scumbag", his hair was also blocked. The stylist made it a bit unorthodox, and the chestnut hair was gelled, which looked cool, but it was actually quite shabby.

Qin Nian, played by Cheng Xia, was a top-ranking student in all his homework exams. The two stood face to face, and their images contrasted greatly. Coupled with the fact that they were not familiar with each other, their eyes widened and their eyes narrowed, and their faces became a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Director Liu was at the side to adjust the atmosphere: "Come on, let's match up the lines of the first three acts. From now on, you are Qin Nian and you are Lu Fengyang. Let's start."

Cheng Xia and Shen Kai looked at each other and began to match words according to the script.

There are a total of four acts in the scene they are filming today. The first three acts are literary plays, and there are not many characters. The two of them only need to make good expressions and recite the lines.Moreover, in order to take care of them, Director Liu chose today's scenes where the relationship between the two is still at the stage of friendship, and Cheng Xia doesn't need to show the complicated emotions of secretly liking each other as soon as he comes up.

Of course, the friendship stage is much better than admiring each other.

Under the guidance of Liu Xueyi, the two finished their lines, and Liu Xueyi also taught them where the expressions of eyes and movements were not detailed enough. Cheng Xia gradually became involved in the role, and the play with Shen Kai became more and more smooth.

After the show was over, Director Liu went to the side to look at the scene layout. Cheng Xia looked around. He subconsciously looked for Mr. Pei in the crowd, but he didn't find the familiar tall figure.Cheng Xia was a little puzzled. Mr. Pei came to the set to supervise every day a few days ago. Why didn't he show up today? What happened?

"Cheng Xia." A voice from next to his ear interrupted his thoughts, Cheng Xia turned his head, and faced Shen Kai with a straightforward smile: "Later, I will try my best to accept your scenes, you don't have to worry too much, let go The show is on."

Cheng Xia never leaves the script every day, he memorizes the script wherever he goes, his earnestness can be seen by the whole crew, and a few days ago he played the opposite scene with Ye Mingqian very smoothly, today he played opposite Cheng Xia, The pressure on Shen Kai is actually greater.Cheng Xia is a rookie, and NG can be said to be inexperienced.After all, he has acted in a few web dramas, if he can't compare to Cheng Xia, how shameful it is?

After hearing what he said, Cheng Xia nodded earnestly and said, "Okay, let's let go of acting. The two of us just need to act like good buddies in this morning's play. I just heard Director Liu talk about it, and it's not too special." Disaster."

Shen Kai took the initiative to turn on the phone: "Since you are acting as a friend, why don't you make a friend first?"

The Alpha in front of him had open eyes, a heartless smile, and a cool expression, as if he had entered the role of "Lu Fengyang".Cheng Xia also simply took out her mobile phone and added him as a friend. The interpersonal relationship in the circle is complicated, and this cooperation with Shen Kai can be regarded as predestined. Cheng Xia doesn't think there is any problem simply adding a friend.

After adding friends, the two chatted for a while, and then Cheng Xia realized that Shen Kai was an art student, not a film school major. So good, so great!"

Shen Kai smiled and touched his nose: "That's good, many people scolded me in the last drama, saying that I played a rich second generation into a country bumpkin."

Cheng Xia said: "Don't worry about the words of black fans. I watched your last drama, and it was really good..."

After chatting for a few minutes, the relationship between the two became closer, and the scene was not as awkward as before.

After a while, Director Liu's filming location was ready. Today, there are a large number of supporting roles such as sisters and Fa Xiao. The newcomers Xue Ling and Qi Xiaofei also performed very well. After four acts in one hour, the progress is gratifying.

Director Liu was in a good mood and called Cheng Xia and Shen Kai.

The makeup artist immediately stepped forward to help them arrange their makeup and hairstyle, and the two of them also took off their warm down jackets.

The snow fell heavily, and in a blink of an eye there was a layer of snow on their hair.

Following Director Liu's "Start", Cheng Xia quickly entered the role of "Qin Nian" when the camera pointed at him. He looked at Shen Kai with a natural smile: "Feng Yang, why are you here?" After all Just treat each other as friends, it's not difficult to act.

Director Liu was impressed by Cheng Xia's line skills.

This rookie is too serious. I don’t know how many times he has memorized his lines in private. The NG method of “forgetting words” rarely occurs. Those long lines are always spoken smoothly from his mouth. Obviously, he has worked hard behind the scenes. of.

On the contrary, Shen Kai, who has acted in several online dramas, didn't keep up for a while.

Shen Kai bowed towards the director: "I'm sorry, I forgot the words, Cheng Xia's yelling made me stunned for a moment!"

Cheng Xia smiled and said, "Feng Yang, Feng Yang, you will get used to it if you call it a few more times."

Shen Kai nodded: "Well, let's start over."

When filming started again, Cheng Xia's lines were still smooth, and his expressions and movements were also in place. He had obviously memorized what Director Liu had taught him just now.The young man in front of him had a bright smile, and he was very fluent when he was called "Feng Yang". Gradually, Shen Kai was also brought in, and the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit. Three-act play, even pass the test in one pass.

Liu Xueyi excitedly said to Xu Moran: "I thought it would take a long time for Cheng Xia, Ye Mingqian, and Shen Kai to get along with each other. Ten or eight times of NG are normal. I didn't expect their tacit understanding to be so high!"

Xu Moran said: "The newcomers are very serious, and they can memorize their lines well. I hope the emotional scenes in the future can also be filmed smoothly."

Acting as a friend and acting as a lover are completely different feelings.Regardless of how Cheng Xia and Shen Kai's rivalry scene was filmed today, after the plot develops to the point where they like each other, the key is whether they can act well with that kind of love at the beginning.

Director Liu thought about it carefully, and said, "The focus is on tonight's group play, let's talk to them later."

At noon, Pei Shaoze hadn't come to the set yet.

The staff took advantage of the lunch time to discuss in a low voice: "Why didn't Boss Pei come today? He has been here for a week, and he is not here today, but he is not used to it!" "I don't know, he is Tianxuan's boss after all, he should It’s pretty busy, and it’s impossible to stare at the set every day.”

Cheng Xia was puzzled when he heard their discussion.It happened that Director Liu was looking for him for something and asked him to have dinner together. Cheng Xia sat next to Director Liu and picked up a few mouthfuls of rice, pretending to casually ask, "Director Liu, isn't Mr. Pei coming today?"

Liu Xueyi explained while eating: "Boss Pei flew to Ya'an early this morning. The conditions have been negotiated with Mingde Middle School. He is going this time to confirm the schedule and give the contract. Our drama involves The snow scenes were all filmed in No. [-] High School, and all the spring, summer, and autumn scenes, as well as the indoor scenes, were filmed in Naya'an."

Cheng Xia suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the case. Boss Pei is really thoughtful. I haven't been to Ya'an yet. I heard that there are flowers and green trees all year round, and the scenery is very beautiful."

Liu Xueyi said with emotion: "Well, the whole crew, Fei Ya'an, is all money for food and clothing! Boss Pei probably won't come to the set these days. Besides going to Ya'an for a business trip, he also needs to invest more. Although the cost of the production team is sufficient, if you get more money, you can have more money on hand, which can be used for special effects and music in the later stage."

Screenwriter Xu also said: "Boss Pei really cares about this drama. Cheng Xia, he praised you yesterday, saying that you are a very talented newcomer. I am very satisfied and I am very relieved of your performance.”

Hearing Mr. Pei's private admiration for him from others, Cheng Xia's cheeks became slightly warm, and his heartbeat couldn't help but get faster.He was very happy, just like when he was a student and worked hard to get into the top of the class and was praised by his parents.

This kind of joy is reflected in the eyes. The young man's eyes are particularly bright, and his eyes are full of smiles: "Thank you Director Liu, thank you Teacher Xu, I am a newcomer, and I still have to learn a lot from the teachers."

Liu Xueyi especially likes Cheng Xia, who is working hard, and patted him on the shoulder lovingly: "The filming progress has been very smooth these days, Cheng Xia, your contribution is definitely the first. There is a more complicated group scene tonight , you should prepare well this afternoon and try to finish the filming smoothly."

Cheng Xia got the notice last night. Today's scene during the day is relatively simple, full of dialogues. He and Shen Kai matched up their lines, and after getting familiar with each other's rhythm, the filming really went smoothly.

But the ensemble scene at night involved a lot of action.Lu Fengyang and Yang Fang were fighting with some gangsters in an alley after evening self-study. When Qin Nian saw him passing by, he found that he was fighting five against one, and was gradually exhausted, so he went to help.In this scene, apart from the two protagonists Qin Nian and Lu Fengyang, there are also five extras who play gangsters.

It was Cheng Xia's first time shooting an action scene, and he didn't have much confidence. Director Liu saw his concerns and said, "In the afternoon, the teacher who instructs the action will personally teach you how to shoot this scene. You and Shen Kai have to cooperate with the extras. Let's practice together, and you will learn from it."

Cheng Xia nodded: "Understood Director Liu."

At this moment, the phone suddenly dinged, it was a WeChat message.

Cheng Xia opened it and saw that it was a photo sent by Pei Shaoze.

In the photo, there is a shady path with tall trees on both sides. The emerald green crowns blend with each other, like a natural green umbrella built above the head.The weather was fine, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow fragments on the ground. The quiet corridor was as beautiful as an anime landscape painting with fresh colors.

Pei Shaoze immediately sent a sentence: "The scenery here in Ya'an is beautiful, a holy place for dating that I found by accident."

Cheng Xia's heart skipped a beat—a holy place for dating?What does this mean?

Seeing him the next moment, he said, "The scene where you deliver the paper boat to Lu Fengyang in the finale can be filmed here."

Cheng Xia: "..."

Sure enough, he is a workaholic. Seeing such a beautiful place, he only thinks about filming dramas and framing scenes.

Cheng Xia replied: "Boss Pei is in Ya'an? The weather over there looks really nice."

Pei Shaoze: "Well, Ya'an has been sunny recently, the sun is very good, the temperature is around 28 degrees, you can wear short sleeves."

Cheng Xia conveniently sent two snow scenes taken this morning: "It's snowing again in Rongcheng, even more spectacular than a few days ago."

At the same time, the two people are separated by more than half of the country, one side is full of trees and flowers, while the other side is covered in silver and full of desolation.The photos sent to each other on WeChat are like two worlds, and this feeling is very subtle.

In reality, because his father passed away too early, Pei Shaoze was busy with work and kept going around every day. Every time he went on a business trip, he came and went in a hurry, and he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery on the road.But today, when he saw those scenery, he suddenly thought of Cheng Xia, so he subconsciously took a photo and shared it with Cheng Xia.

He thought that Cheng Xia would be very happy to see such a beautiful scenery.The finale of this show was filmed with this scene, and the effect was absolutely perfect, and it was not in vain that Cheng Xia had practiced origami for so long.

Pei Shaoze conveniently clicked Cheng Xia's circle of friends.

This morning, Cheng Xia posted a circle of friends, writing: "I made a snowman in front of the door last night, but when I got up this morning, I got a whole circle of fat. The snow was so heavy that my eyes and nose were buried..."

The snowman in the photo is really chubby, with eyes and nose invisible, a black towel on his head as hair, and a strange red scarf around his neck, tied crookedly.

...it's kind of cute.

Pei Shaoze looked at the snowman, with a smile in his eyes, he casually nodded his praise, and replied: "The childlike innocence is still alive."

When Cheng Xia received it, her ears felt hot, and she suddenly felt embarrassed when she was "caught by her parents when she was mischievous" when she was a child.

——The childlike innocence is still there, does this mean that he is "childish"?

Yesterday afternoon at 06:30, the production team finished work. There was thick snow in front of the door, which was white and clean. Cheng Xia was idle and bored, so he built a snowman to play with itchy hands. Unexpectedly, Boss Pei would see his circle of friends .Cheng Xia casually clicked into Pei Shaoze's circle of friends, and found that it was empty, and all the previous ones were deleted.

He had no choice but to reply to Mr. Pei in his circle of friends: "Report to the boss, I am not lazy, the snowman was only built yesterday after work was over, I will go to memorize the script ^_^"

The pop-up reply made the smile on Pei Shaoze's lips more obvious.

Pei Shaoyan was having dinner with his brother, when he saw his brother took out his mobile phone and sent two messages, he suddenly laughed lightly. He was used to seriousness, even if he laughed, he would not laugh like some people and show an exaggerated expression. The smile was just raising the corners of his lips, but it was this kind of faint smile that made the originally indifferent and serious man suddenly become much warmer.

Pei Shaoyan thought to himself, he must have sent a message to Cheng Xia, people who fall in love will indeed become gentle.

There are no more than five people who added Cheng Xia and President Pei at the same time, and only mutual friends of both parties can see this message.Zhou Yan happened to have two friends. When she saw a reminder in Moments, she entered curiously—President Pei's message was for Cheng Xia.

Since Pei Shaoze came to Tianxuan to work officially, in the past month, he has never posted a Moments or replied to a Moments message. She thought Mr. Pei didn't read Moments at all, but Pei Shaoze suddenly replied to Cheng Xia?

Zhou Yan frowned suspiciously, maybe she just happened to see it and replied right away?Simple four words, nothing special can be seen.

What she didn't know was that Pei Shaoze just clicked Cheng Xia's Moments to check the latest news.As for other people's circle of friends and daily activities, he has no interest in paying attention at all.
