Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 267 Brother Zhuo! Let me help you!

Hong Kong University, Pok Fu Lam Road, Mrs. Ho Sai Kwong Sports Centre, the film crew of "Love in a Puff".

Gillian Chung wore a dark blue one-piece swimsuit with white ripples flowing from her waist to the hem of her skirt, making her skin appear even whiter.

The nylon fabric tightly wrapped around the young body, making every curve appear immature and fragile.

She stood by the pool, her toes gripping the slippery tile edge tightly, her knuckles white from the effort, hesitant to enter the water.

Art director Zhong Chuting offered psychological support from the sidelines: "Don't worry, I specifically reserved female staff for this scene."

"Besides Director Peng, Brother Zhuo, the cameraman, and Master Deng, all the other men have left. Don't be shy."

"The devices are all female, and the charging ports are all recessed and inserted."

Ah Jiao forced a smile as she listened to Zhong Chuting's joke: "No, Sister Zhong, I just feel a little cold."

Zhong Chuting touched the water and asked, puzzled, "Is it cold? No, this pool is heated."

Ah Jiao hesitated before saying, "I'm worried I won't act well."

Zhong Chuting said, "I understand! It's okay if there are too many takes, the crew knows the pressure you're under right now!"

"You can tell the director you want to get into character, and he'll take everyone out for a smoke and a coffee to help you get ready!"

Art director Chung Chu-ting believed that Ah-jiao's condition was affected by the recent comeback of Edison Chen, so she immediately assured Ah-jiao that she would have ample time to adjust her state during the filming of the pool scene.

At this moment, Lin Xingzhuo also changed into her swimming trunks and entered the venue.

The crew of "Beauty's Rival in Palace" started with hard work, and now "Love in a Puff" has finally borne fruit.

Lin Xingzhuo's body also shows obvious signs of training, with the initial thickness and outline of abdominal muscles.

Lin Xingzhuo watched Ah Jiao eat but not drink, and vaguely recalled his past life when he reviewed the 15th anniversary special of "Reminiscence.Twins" introduced by Pengcheng TV.

…………

Ah Jiao, wrapped in a bath towel, glanced at Lin Xingzhuo, bit her lip, and then thought of her situation at the Music Emperor, especially now, with the photo incident and the turmoil resurfacing...

I have no chance left and no way out!
Ah Jiao gritted her teeth and jumped into the water.

thump! !

"Scene 1! First shot! First time! Action!"

After getting into the water, Ah Jiao managed to paddle a few times at first, but soon she showed signs of exhaustion.

Her movements became stiff; her arms no longer moved smoothly across the water, but instead moved with a frantic struggle.

Its body would sometimes float slightly, its mouth and nose barely protruding above the water as it gasped for air, and at other times it would sink uncontrollably, creating a chaotic splash.

Her brows were furrowed, her face filled with genuine terror and helplessness. Each descent felt like being dragged by an invisible hand, and each resurrection was accompanied by short, labored breaths.

Director Peng Haoxiang stared intently through the viewfinder and couldn't help but whisper in admiration, "Ah Jiao is really something! I was always worried that I wouldn't act well!"

"Look at this state now, it's absolutely perfect!!"

"It perfectly captures the realistic feeling of a swimmer suddenly getting a leg cramp and drowning. This acting is absolutely amazing!"

Art director Chung Chu-ting said from the side, "Before Ah-jiao debuted, she worked part-time during the summer and was even a lifeguard at Stanley Main Beach."

Lin Xingzhuo, who was warming up and preparing to enter the water, suddenly remembered the contents of the 15th anniversary special of "Reminiscence.Twins".

Asa and Ajiao reminisced about their early days in the industry in front of the camera, sharing unforgettable feelings and experiences from their more than ten years together.

In one of her remarks, Ah Jiao mentioned a serious drowning accident that occurred in 2004 while filming the Zhang Weijian version of "The Monkey King" in Malaysia.

This made her very afraid of water and she dared not swim anymore.

…………

Thump! Crash!

Watching Ah Jiao bobbing up and down in the water, "showing off her acting skills," Lin Xingzhuo quickly plunged into the pool.

The viewfinder showed water splashing high into the air, creating a powerful visual impact! Director Peng Haoxiang, watching the footage, remarked that Ah Jiao had really drawn Lin Xingzhuo into the role!

A few seconds later, Ah Jiao, who was about to sink due to exhaustion, was lifted up by Lin Xingzhuo, and the two floated to the edge of the pool together.

It was indeed not cold in the heated pool; Lin Xingzhuo even felt a little hot!

To be precise, it was Ah Jiao's fair skin... that seemed a little hot and red...

I thought the pool water would put out the fire, but it only made it burn even more fiercely!
But it was really hard for him to let go, since Ah Jiao's legs were still wrapped around his waist.

Clearly, Lin Xingzhuo's judgment was accurate. Ajiao didn't have such good acting skills; she was genuinely suffering from leg cramps and weakness, causing her to sink.

Under these circumstances, Lin Xingzhuo originally wanted to stop filming...

But when Ah Jiao raised her head, her wet face looked pitiful, instantly drawing the audience into the story, and she immediately spoke her lines.

"I just... got a leg cramp... Thank you... Thank you so much..."

"What's your name?"

"Zhang Zhiming".

…………

The filming was going so well that Lin Xingzhuo was about to achieve the first take of "Love in a Puff" (aside from the smoking scene) that he filmed in one take.

During the last line of dialogue, Ah Jiao suddenly made a clear mistake in her delivery...

"Cut! Ah Jiao's last line was such a pity! Let's do it again!"

A-Jiao blushed and said, "Director, I need to pause for a moment and go over my lines with Brother Zhuo."

Peng Haoxiang was a little confused, but remembering the agreement they had made earlier, he still said:

"We can reshoot the last part of the dialogue later."

"Editor! Keep all the footage of the male and female actors entering the water!"

"I'll treat everyone to coffee. Ah Jiao, you should try to get back into the flow of your lines!"

…………

The crew of "Love in a Puff" did not have waterproof cameras, so the subtle movements of the two people in the water were not clearly visible from the shore.

All that could be seen was Ah Jiao clinging to Lin Xingzhuo like an octopus.

Lin Xingzhuo was a little annoyed and said, "It's just one line, is it really necessary to rehearse it again? You're afraid of water, let's go ashore and rehearse in the rehearsal room first!"

Ah Jiao hugged Lin Xingzhuo's neck, panting, and said, "Brother Zhuo, you'll be so embarrassed if you go out like this!"

Lin Xingzhuo was stunned for a moment before realizing that his brother was using unlimited firing rights recklessly!

Lin Xingzhuo said awkwardly, "Thank you! Luckily they went to get coffee! I'll go get a towel and go to the changing room to calm down!"

Ah Jiao said, "It's too late for you to calm down, there's still a scene of you chatting on the beach chairs later..."

Lin Xingzhuo didn't know how to answer for a moment.

A reborn young body is prone to making mistakes, and now with the added side effects of divine skills, it might really be too late to make the family's traditional handicrafts...

Ah Jiao's hair was still wet, and her big eyes looked at Lin Xingzhuo. She bit her lip, reached her hands underwater, and said, "Let me help you..."

Lin Xingzhuo: ? ? ? ?
Phew... It's so hot...

………………

On that day, Lin Xingzhuo was in high spirits and returned to his thousand-square-foot mansion at 18 Pak Bi Shan Road, Tai Tam, Southern District after finishing filming.

It turned out that agent Zhang Youqian and executive agent Xiao Ma had been waiting for quite some time...
