Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 225: Into the Play Into the Play
Li Qiutang’s first scene is the last scene of the feature film “The Beauty Inside”.

The male protagonist Gu Zhengqing proposed to the female protagonist and they kissed.

Li Qiutang even started to act pretentiously: "Director, is this a real kiss or a fake one?"

"It's really intimate," Xue Xiaolu said, "I'll fix the camera, where can I borrow the position?"

He also said: "Don't be so hypocritical after getting the upper hand. The heroine didn't say anything, but you are still being pretentious."

Li Qiutang said: "I said it on my own initiative. I am not taking advantage of others. You didn't eat garlic, did you?" The last sentence was asked to Liu Yifei.

Some actresses will deliberately eat garlic, leeks, sauerkraut, durian and other foods when filming kissing scenes to prevent rival actors from taking advantage of them in the name of being in the scene.

"Oh, I forgot to eat!" Liu Yifei said in her heart, as if she usually didn't take advantage of others.

Li Qiutang glared at her. The stage manager brought a pack of chewing gum, and the two of them chewed one piece each, preparing for the new play.

The two stood opposite each other, and Liu Yifei said, "You have to act well. If you don't act well, I will scold you back."

"You are seeking personal revenge." Li Qiutang said.

Liu Yifei also complained to Xue Xiaolu: "Director, you don't know how he scolded me on the set of In Time. It was so ugly."

Li Qiutang had indeed scolded Liu Yifei, and now that people were bringing up the past, she felt quite embarrassed.

Xue Xiaolu stood on the side of her heroine and said, "Don't worry, if he doesn't act well, I will help you to talk about him."

After preparing for about ten minutes, Xue Xiaolu left the set.

"Okay, actors get ready." The assistant director gave orders.

"3-2-1, start."

On the set, Li Qiutang took out a small square wooden box from his pocket, inside of which was a wooden ring he had made long ago.

Cut to the scene where Li Qiutang puts the ring on Liu Yifei.

Everyone watched the scene on the monitor and said, "She was so into the scene. Yifei was really into the scene."

In fact, the two people on the set are now in a very strange state.

It was true that we were acting on the set, but the situation was so real!

Li Qiutang had imagined what it would be like if she proposed to Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei had also imagined what it would be like if Li Qiutang proposed to her.

Li Qiutang held Liu Yifei's hand and could clearly feel the girl trembling.

When Li Qiutang held her hand and helped her put on the ring, Liu Yifei could clearly feel that Li Qiutang was trembling. She could even feel his heartbeat quickening from his hand.

The people watching the monitor in the director's room thought this was called getting into the role, but Xue Xiaolu felt that the two of them might be taking it seriously.

There was really nothing wrong with it, but the two of them were too excited, which had affected the quality of the filming material, so Xue Xiaolu quickly called out "cut".

The two men slowly separated their hands and each let out a sigh of relief. They had taken it so seriously that they had forgotten they were still on the set.

The two went to the director's studio to look at the material. Liu Yifei blamed Li Qiutang for the cut: "Look at how you're shaking. This definitely can't be used."

Li Qiutang honestly took the blame: "Blame me, blame me. I was too excited to play your husband."

Xue Xiaolu temporarily adjusted the shooting order, filming the kissing scene between the two first, and then adding the scene of putting on the ring and proposing.

Both actors had no objection and went about preparing.

Liu Yifei sat back in her chair and drank some water, while Li Qiutang was still discussing the scene with the assistant director.

Zeng Yike came over and said, "Yifei, can't we use a different camera for the kissing scene later?"

"You can't use a different camera angle. This scene is a fixed shot, so you can't use a different camera angle."

"Then he kissed you..."

"It's okay. For an actor, these are just small matters." Liu Yifei felt that Zeng Yike was meddling too much.

My mother doesn't care about my filming anymore. Why do you care whether I use borrowed shots or not when you're just a friend I've only known for less than half a year? You're still an outsider.

"Yifei, it's time to go on stage."

"I'm here." Liu Yifei handed the cup of water to her assistant and went into the set to film.

The makeup artist fixed her hair and left.

"Come on, get ready, 3-2-1, start."

Liu Yifei put on the ring and recited her lines: "Let's do it again. Stand over there." Liu Yifei took Li Qiutang's hand and said, "Propose to me again."

Li Qiutang was a little confused, but still stood over obediently, then slowly walked towards Liu Yifei, walked in front of her, put her arm around her, and they both closed their eyes and kissed each other.

Xue Xiaolu did not call "cut" immediately, but let them kiss for a while longer.

He was very immersed in the drama, but Liu Yifei secretly licked his lips with her tongue, which made Li Qiutang a little distracted.

How can you stick out your tongue during a kissing scene!
This little bitch needs to be taught a lesson.

"Click." Xue Xiaolu let the two kiss for more than ten seconds.

The two separated, Li Qiutang glared at Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei smiled with her lips pursed, and said nothing. The two went to the director's studio to watch the playback.

"It feels so awkward to watch myself kissing." Liu Yifei said.

Li Qiutang also had a similar feeling.

But Xue Xiaolu was very satisfied with the kiss scene: "Look, how good it is. If I didn't know, I would think you two were really planning to get married."

"This scene is over."

Li Qiutang was quite happy as she got the role without any difficulty.

However, in the second half of the show, the two of them were interrupted by Xue Xiaolu from beginning to end.

Li Qiutang was so upset that she began to doubt whether she was suitable for acting.

As an actress, Liu Yifei is used to it, and she teased Li Qiutang in return: "Now you know how it feels to have you click on me more than 20 times in a row."

Really, it feels very uncomfortable.

Because of the recording problem, Xue Xiaolu said another line: "Forget it, let's just stop for today."

It was getting dark, and the outdoor scenes required a lot of daylight, so there was nothing we could do but call it a day.

Li Qiutang came, and the crew added chicken legs to the dinner, literally chicken legs.

"Yifei, let's go eat." Zeng Yike said.

"No, you go and eat, I have something else to do." There is no way Liu Yifei would go out to eat with her today.

"Isn't it time to call it a day? What else do you have to do?"

"There's a lot of karaoke today. The crew has a summary meeting. You should go eat."

This is not an excuse. Liu Yifei really needs to hold a summary meeting with Xue Xiaolu.

"Then I'll go to your place to watch TV after dinner."

Liu Yifei won't watch TV with her today either.

"I will not be at the meeting until very late, so you can watch it yourself." Liu Yifei said.

Liu Yifei said and left: "I'm leaving first."

After Liu Yifei left, the assistant producer of The Beauty Inside came up and asked Zeng Yike, "Do you have any work in the future?"

This was a subtle way of telling her to leave. She was a visitor to the set and had been staying on the set for three days, eating and living with the crew. The production director didn't want to bear her expenses.

Zeng Yike did spend too much time on the set of "The Beauty Inside".

"I will return to Yanjing tomorrow afternoon."

The production assistant said directly: "Then I will inform the hotel and will not renew your room."

It’s so direct!

Zeng Yike is not from the film and television industry at all, nor is she a big star. The production assistant gave her no face at all and even thought it was annoying that she stayed on the crew.

No matter how famous she is, she can't reach the crew.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Zeng Yike went to knock on Liu Yifei's door, but no one answered for a long time.

A crew member passing by said, "Yifei, the director, and Director Li went out for a midnight snack. They will probably be back very late."

Zeng Yike called Liu Yifei again, and Liu Yifei answered the phone. Zeng Yike said she wanted to have supper with them, but Liu Yifei said, "We're going to leave soon, and there's nothing to eat if you come."

"Then when will you come back?"

"It should be soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei felt more and more puzzled. Why did she wait for me to come back?

It was around 11 o'clock in the evening before everyone dispersed and went back to the hotel together.

At 12:10, Zeng Yike knocked on Liu Yifei's door again.

Liu Yifei opened the door for her but didn't let her in.

"Let me in, I have something to tell you." Zeng Yike said with a smile.

"If you have anything to say, you can say it here. It's late and I'm so sleepy."

But Zeng Yike insisted on going in and said, "It's not like I've been to your room before. I'll just say a few words and leave." Then she went into Liu Yifei's room.

She heard Li Qiutang singing while taking a bath in the bathroom.

"Yifei, you..." Zeng Yike couldn't believe it.
