Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 259: In the Name of the Characters, the Production Crew Stirs Up Trouble

After Jing Tian left, Jiang Qing continued to immerse herself in filming, occasionally taking a break to visit the company. Time passed by unnoticed.

During this period, Yu Chengdong and the chief of Ali Damo Academy visited Luyang one after another, and Jiang Qing also took the time to meet with them, but he did not immediately agree to any specific cooperation.

As for Fosun, he has already shown them the beta version of the AI ​​diagnosis and treatment system developed by Thirteen Hands, but he'll postpone it until this year.

You can't give them the impression that you're doing it all easy, otherwise how can you justify charging a price?
Most importantly, even if that day will come sooner or later, it is not advisable to get involved in the sensitive area of ​​medicine too early; it is better to postpone it for now.

In the blink of an eye, it's December 15th.

In mid-December, the air in Luyang was filled with a crisp chill. The thin layer of snow that had fallen a few days earlier had not completely melted, and small, grayish-white patches of it had accumulated in many shady corners.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, sunlight slanted through the high skylight of the photography studio, casting several beams of light carrying dust.

What should have been an ordinary shooting day was filled with a subtle yet excited restlessness throughout the entire lighter crew.

The reason is simple: Jiang Qing and Zhang Jingyi are filming a kissing scene this afternoon!

The heating in the dressing room was on full blast.

Zhang Jingyi sat in front of the mirror, letting the makeup artist touch up her lip makeup.

The face reflected in the mirror had a slightly more subtle blush than usual. She unconsciously twirled a strand of hair in her hand, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

"Are you nervous, Jingyi?"

Zeng Keni had slipped in at some point, grinning as she leaned against the back of her chair, resting her chin on her shoulder, looking at her in the mirror.

"Who's nervous?!"

Zhang Jingyi immediately straightened her back and retorted defiantly.

"It's just work! It's what the script requires and what actors are expected of!"

"Oh--"

Zeng Keni deliberately dragged out his tone, his face mischievous.

"Then don't let your legs go weak later~ Teacher Jiang's eyes, tsk! My heart races just looking at them normally, and if she were to kiss me..."

"Zeng Keni!"

Zhang Jingyi covered her mouth in embarrassment and annoyance, and the two of them burst into laughter.

On the other side, Jiang Qing was standing by the window drinking water, her gaze fixed on the bare branches of the trees outside.

Zhao Zhiwei and Cui Yuxin moved closer, flanking him from both sides.

"Teacher Jiang, could you please give me some guidance?"

Zhao Zhiwei winked and made faces.

"Brother, I have no experience. Can you teach me how to film kissing scenes without making mistakes?"

Jiang Qing put down the water bottle, glanced at him, and spoke in a flat tone.

"Act according to the script and listen to the director."

"That's it?"

Cui Yuxin had a "you're not being fair" look on her face.

"Brother Jiang, that's Jingyi! Can you really remain unmoved?"

Jiang Qing didn't answer directly, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly upwards. Her gaze turned to the entrance leading to the film set, where she happened to see Zhang Jingyi being pushed out by Zeng Keni.

She was wearing the white and blue striped sweater that Zhu Yun often wore in the drama, her long hair was tied back, and her makeup was clean, except that her lip color was deliberately deepened, like a ripe cherry, full and tempting.

She was trying hard to keep a straight face, but her eyes were a little evasive, like a fawn being watched.

Their eyes met briefly in mid-air, and Zhang Jingyi quickly looked away as if she had been burned, the blush on her ears seeming to deepen.

"I'm coming!"

Someone shouted in a low voice.

In the center of the set, the startup office filled with books and computers, which belongs to Li Xun in the drama, has already been set up.

The large desk became the focus of everyone's attention.

The lighting technician is adjusting the angle, striving to create the softest and most ambiguous light.

Liu Junjie was holding the script and whispering with the director of photography.

Upon seeing the male and female leads approach, Liu Junjie immediately greeted them.

"Dr. Jiang, Jingyi, come here for a moment. I'll talk to you about this scene one last time."

As the two walked over, they were immediately surrounded by a group of onlookers.

Zhao Zhiwei, Zeng Keni, Qian Didi, Ma Ke... the main cast members who barely had any scenes all gathered around, their faces bearing knowing smiles.

Liu Junjie cleared his throat and began to explain the play.

"This scene is a key point in the development of the relationship between Li Xun and Zhu Yun. Li Xun takes the initiative to suggest that Zhu Yun meet his sister, and Zhu Yun knows very well what this means to him. So when Li Xun half-jokingly says that there's no one else, Zhu Yun is delighted and certain, with a touch of girlish pride and sweetness. She takes the initiative to wrap her arms around Li Xun's neck and sits on his desk. This action itself has a sense of declaring ownership. And then, there's this kiss..."

Upon hearing the word "kiss," Zhang Jingyi felt her face flush instantly and instinctively looked down at the tips of her shoes.

Liu Junjie's description was quite detailed.

"This kiss wasn't tentative, nor was it fleeting. It was a natural expression of deep emotion, carrying the passion of certainty and a touch of possessiveness. Jingyi, when you initiate the kiss, you need to be fully engaged, with that unwavering certainty that it's him. Dr. Jiang, at first, you should be a little surprised by her boldness, then immediately take the initiative and deepen the kiss. Your hands should naturally support her waist. This is your territory, your person. Your response needs to be more assertive..."

Liu Junjie spoke while gesturing.

As Zhang Jingyi listened to the specific descriptions, especially the words "turning the tables," "deepening," and "supporting her waist," she felt her heart pounding in her chest, and her palms were sweating slightly.

She couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Qing beside her.

Jiang Qing's profile was taut, as if she were listening attentively.

He seemed to notice her gaze and turned to look at her as well.

Her eyes were deep, like a calm sea concealing turbulent undercurrents, carrying a focused intensity that made her heart race.

"director……"

Zhang Jingyi couldn't stand the atmosphere of being the center of attention for her explanation, especially the suppressed laughter of the onlookers around her. She protested softly, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Just tell me what to do... but don't let everyone be staring at me!"

She stomped her foot, the sound fading away.

"It feels so strange..."

"Pfft!"

Zeng Keni was the first to burst out laughing.

"That's right, Jingyi is shy!"

Qian Didi also joined in the commotion.

"Oh my, what's so strange about that!"

Zhao Zhiwei slapped his thigh.

"What a great opportunity! It's perfectly legitimate!"

"you!"

Zhang Jingyi was both embarrassed and annoyed, and with a flushed face, she pinched Zeng Keni.

Jiang Qing looked at her embarrassed yet lively appearance, and a smile spread across his eyes. He coughed lightly and looked at Liu Junjie.

"Director, we understand, we get the emotional points."

His gentle tone carried a calming power, which subtly eased Zhang Jingyi's tension.

Liu Junjie smiled.

"Okay, good that you understand. Everyone, get to your positions! Unrelated personnel, please spread out a bit to give the actors some space!"

He waved his hand, dispersing some of the crowd of onlookers who had gathered too tightly, but they only took a few steps back symbolically, their eyes still shining brightly.

The script supervisor walked in front of the camera with a whiteboard and shouted loudly.

"Scene 575, Shot 1, Action!"

The film set fell silent instantly, and all eyes were focused on the center of the office.

Jiang Qing leaned back in his large office chair, casually twirling a pen in his hand, his gaze fixed on Zhang Jingyi standing in front of the desk, with his usual languidness and scrutiny.

"Are you free this weekend?" he asked in a low voice.

Zhang Jingyi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if stars had fallen into them.

"Yes! Of course!"

"Then I'll take you to see someone."

She took a step forward, placed her hands on the edge of the table, leaned slightly forward, and her voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and anticipation.

"Are you... sure you want to take me to see my sister? You're not going to change the person?"

She asked cautiously, with a touch of playful probing.

Jiang Qing stopped twirling his pen, looked up at her bright eyes, and curled his lips into a half-smile, deliberately drawing out his words.

"Hmm... for now, it seems like there's no one else?"

His tone was that of Li Xun, with a slightly smug and self-righteous air.

"Li Xun!"

Zhang Jingyi called out reproachfully, but there was no anger in her reproach, only sweetness.

His expression conveyed immense joy and a sense of certainty that "this moment has finally come."

She pushed off the table with both hands, leaped up lightly, and sat sideways on the large desk!

The movements were fluid and graceful, conveying both a girl's agility and a touch of domineering confidence.

Immediately afterwards, she leaned forward, stretched out her arms, and without hesitation wrapped them around Jiang Qing's neck, who was sitting in the chair.

This action was too sudden and too intimate.

Jiang Qing's body stiffened visibly, and a hint of genuine surprise flashed in her eyes.

Zhang Jingyi perfectly embodies Zhu Yun's boldness in the script.

Their eyes met, so close they could see each other's reflections in their pupils.

The air seemed to freeze, with only the faint sound of the camera operating.

Zhang Jingyi's eyes were filled with starlight, her smile radiant, and she carried an unwavering courage.

She tilted her head slightly, and her rosy lips pressed firmly against Jiang Qing's lips.

A soft, slightly cool sensation came through.

The moment their lips touched, the surprise in Jiang Qing's eyes was quickly replaced by a surge of excitement.

Almost instinctively, he suddenly raised his large hand from the armrest, one hand firmly supporting her slender waist and pressing her closer to him, while the other hand gripped the back of her neck, leaving her no possibility of retreat.

He took the initiative and deepened the kiss.

It is no longer a superficial touch, but an exploration and entanglement with warmth and intensity.

Zhang Jingyi tightened her arms around his neck, her body trembling slightly, not from fear, but from being swept away by the surging tide of emotions.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, responding to him with a raw yet deeply engaged expression.

Both of them forgot that they were acting, and forgot how many eyes were watching them.

At this moment, there is only the warmth between them, only the heartbeat of the other person so close, only the affection that has long taken root in their hearts and is now finally sprouting, finding the most intense expression through the role.

Jiang Qing's kiss carried a guiding power, gentle yet domineering. Zhang Jingyi was completely swept up in it, clumsily following along. Every subtle response drew him to explore even deeper.

The warmth of his hand on her waist seeped through her thin sweater; it was incredibly hot, yet so steady that it put her at ease.

Time seems to have lost its meaning.

Behind the monitor, Liu Junjie held his breath, his eyes filled with excitement.

The two actors' performance far exceeded expectations!
The onlookers, including Zhao Zhiwei and Zeng Keni, stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape as if they could fit an egg in them.

Zeng Keni covered her mouth tightly to keep from screaming, and stomped her feet excitedly, nudging Qian Didi next to her with her elbow.

Qian Didi's face was also flushed, and she didn't blink.

Zhao Zhiwei silently mouthed "Wow!" and exchanged a knowing look with Ma Ke.

five minutes!
This passionate and fiery kiss lasted a full five minutes!
It wasn't until Zhang Jingyi felt like she was about to suffocate, as if the air in her lungs was being sucked out, that she instinctively struggled and tried to turn her head to breathe.

Jiang Qing keenly sensed her discomfort, and then reluctantly released her lips.

Their foreheads touched gently, their chests heaving violently, their hot breaths mingling, indistinguishable from each other's.

Zhang Jingyi's cheeks were as red as ripe tomatoes, her eyes were unfocused, and her lips were slightly swollen and glossy.

Jiang Qing's breathing was also a little heavy, and the deep emotions in his eyes were still churning. His hands, which were holding her waist and the back of her neck, did not loosen. It was as if she was a treasure that he had lost and then regained.

The entire set was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was stunned by the kiss, which was so real and so passionate!
"Card!"

Liu Junjie's excited voice, almost cracking with excitement, suddenly rang out, breaking the spell-like silence.

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect! The emotions, the movements, the atmosphere! Amazing! One take!!"

He waved his arms, his excitement evident.

"Wow!!!"

The cheers and whistles that had been building up for so long suddenly erupted, almost blowing the roof off the studio.

"Ahhhhh! We kissed! We kissed! We kissed for five minutes!"

Zeng Keni was the first to jump up and scream.

"Oh my god! It's so sweet! My blood sugar is going to skyrocket!"

Qian Didi covered her chest, her face flushed.

"Teacher Jiang! Jingyi! Awesome!"

"That's awesome!"

Zhao Zhiwei and Ma Ke led the applause and cheers.

"This isn't acting! It's genuine emotion! Absolutely genuine emotion!"

One of the staff members shouted something, which drew a burst of approving laughter.

A wave of overwhelming embarrassment washed over Zhang Jingyi instantly.

She jerked away from Jiang Qing's embrace, jumping off the desk like a startled rabbit. She didn't dare look at Jiang Qing, let alone the excited faces around her. She covered her burning cheeks, feeling as if her ears were on fire.

"you……!"

She was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground. Her voice trembled with sobs as she turned and rushed out of the crowd, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Jingyi! Don't run away!"

Zeng Keni smiled and tried to pull her away.

Zhang Jingyi refused to stop, her face flushed as she charged forward headfirst, nearly crashing into the light fixture next to her.

Jiang Qing watched the slender figure fleeing in panic, the warmth of the kiss still lingering on her face, along with a lingering flutter of excitement.

He raised his hand, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the corner of his lips, which still carried her warmth and scent; there seemed to be a faint sweet fragrance of her lipstick lingering there.

Watching her hurried figure run away amidst the laughter, he could no longer hide the smile in his eyes, which spread gently like melting spring water.

He didn't chase after them, but just stood there, letting the good-natured teasing and cheers surround him.

He's a man, so being teased won't hurt him, but it's a different story for that girl.

"Alright, I'll treat everyone to afternoon tea later, so please calm down."

Seeing the commotion continue, Jiang Qing raised his hand and announced.

Wow, President Jiang is so generous!

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

"We understand, we'll definitely behave ourselves when Teacher Zhang comes!"

……

In the lively atmosphere, Liu Junjie and the head of the publicity team exchanged a glance, and the other party nodded knowingly.

How could we let such great promotional materials slip by?
