Chapter 96 Training Xixi's Acting Skills

"Director Lu, this is really going too far!"

Liu Yifei walked up to Lu Yuan with a sullen face, and Lu Yuan burst out laughing at her appearance.

He laughed so hard his stomach hurt, he had no regard for his image whatsoever.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yifei became even angrier.

Everyone around laughed, knowing that the two were a couple, and this was quite amusing.

Seeing him laughing so unceremoniously in front of her, her anger seemed to subside considerably.

She can't take action now, and she still has to give her man face in public.

What else can we do?

After laughing, Lu Yuan restrained himself from looking at Xixi and from thinking too much before slowly answering her.

"That's exactly the effect we wanted. Think about it, if the female lead is very beautiful, wouldn't the male lead be blind to not like her at first?"

"When you're in school, who doesn't like the prettiest girl?"

Liu Yifei understood this principle, but she was a little unhappy with her appearance. Now that Lu Yuan was coaxing her, her unhappiness disappeared.

To put it simply, you have to coax the baby; otherwise, the baby won't be happy.

With everything ready, the filming of the main storyline officially began.

The first thing they filmed was the rooftop alliance, where they formed the Heartbreak Front Alliance.

The gossip about their respective crushes led to their breakdowns and tears on the rooftop, where they made a pact to help each other pursue their sweethearts.

The desired effect of the shoot was naivety and sincerity, which marked the beginning of the bond between the two.

Originally, Xixi didn't think Lu Yuan had any amazing acting skills; he was probably just a good actor.

However, as soon as the two started acting together, she felt the pressure, as if Lu Yuan was leading her into the role.

Only then did she realize that he really did have something.

You know, she's Liu Yifei. She's been acting since she was a child and has been acting for so many years. And you're telling me she's not as good as someone from a directing department?

The main problem is that this guy hasn't acted in many movies or TV shows, which is really unfair!

She felt like she had been living the life of a dog, and was somewhat discouraged.

Moreover, she had seen the footage after filming in many places, but although Lu Yuan didn't say it outright, she knew it was her fault.

She felt like the day was dragging on forever, and of course, progress wasn't going well either.

Lu Yuan just wanted to save face for her, and he would explain things clearly when the two of them were alone.

And so the day's filming came to an end, with the results not being ideal.

After returning to the hotel, the two stared at each other blankly. Liu Yifei wanted to speak many times but didn't know what to say.

Now that they've gone public with their relationship, they're living together without any hesitation. Besides, it's a hotel where the film crew is staying, so it's practically impossible for paparazzi to take any pictures.

Two other people also draw their curtains, because many celebrities have been photographed without drawing their curtains.

"Xixi, are you wondering how I can be so good at acting?" Lu Yuan smiled and pulled her into his arms.

Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I can't believe your acting is so good!"

"Weren't you going to be my teacher, Mr. Liu? Who was it that said they'd teach me acting?"

"Hmph—if you keep doing this, I'm not going to talk to you anymore." Xixi looked embarrassed, but she refused to admit defeat no matter what.

"We've also studied acting, just not as professionally as you guys, but I'm more talented."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him, feeling that this guy was just being arrogant.

She's quite talented, and she's really good at pretending!

"Really, I even held back today. My acting skills are much more than that."

"Hehe————" She laughed in annoyance, clearly not believing it, feeling that Lu Yuan was just teasing her.

"Really, I'll perform it for you right now. You know 'Farewell My Concubine,' right? I'll perform a scene for you."

After saying this, without waiting for Liu Yifei's reply, he took a deep breath and acted out the line and scene he knew.

"I am a delicate woman, not a man."

His eyes held a stubbornness that slowly softened, transforming from tough to alluring, perfectly capturing the feeling of compromise.

That innate resistance to gender mismatch, from his initial stubbornness to his eventual compromise, was already contained in his eyes and expressions.

Liu Yifei was completely stunned; she knew about the movie "Farewell My Concubine".

As an actress with formal training, how could she not know about such a movie?

I've also studied some of the details, and the young actor's performance of that line was just right.

Now, Lu Yuan's performance brings out things that the young actors couldn't portray, making them even more vivid and expressive.

It seems to immediately evoke the helplessness of compromising for life and blurring one's own gender identity.

Everything was just right, but you could also see a hint of stubbornness and resentment in his heart.

Only at this moment did she realize how domineering Lu Yuan was when he went all out; he was truly a prodigy with extraordinary talent.

He wasn't being arrogant or joking; he genuinely possessed that ability.

She knew she had struck gold; this guy was a natural talent, both in directing and acting.

Now she's a little envious and jealous, and she understands that this is the kind of genius the teachers were talking about.

She didn't know before, but now she's seen it with her own eyes.

"How is it?" Lu Yuan looked at her blank expression and glanced at her nervously.

Liu Yifei snapped out of her daze, her eyes darting around as she came up with a great idea.

She jumped onto Lu Yuan's lap, and Lu Yuan quickly caught her, letting her cling to him.

"husband----"

"Why be so mushy? What kind of crazy idea are you up to?"

The two were already familiar with each other's personalities; they were practically the kind of people who could tell if the other needed to poop or pee just by the way their buttocks twitched.

"Hehe—your acting is so good, can you teach me? You wouldn't want people to know I'm a bad actor, would you?"

Lu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said earlier, but the last part felt a bit strange.

"Have you been watching too many pornographic videos?" Lu Yuan asked suspiciously.

"What movie?" Xixi asked, completely bewildered.

"It's one of those movies made by the Japanese." He grinned mischievously.

"Get lost—I've never seen that kind of stuff, you're the one who's seen too much!" Xixi said angrily.

She was talking about serious matters, but this guy went and said she watched too many of those kinds of movies.

She hasn't seen it, okay? She's only heard about it from a friend; she really hasn't seen it.

"Where did you learn that line, 'You don't want so-and-so to know, right?'?"

"You don't even need to learn this? What, is that line popular in those kinds of movies?"

Liu Yifei finally understood. There must be something else behind those words, and he might even be a little angry. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have said that.

She also knew that many men liked to watch this kind of film, and Lu Yuan must have watched it too, no wonder he was an Isp.

"It's really a bit infuriating, you don't want any kind of wife—"

Lu Yuan explained, which made Xi Xi punch him lightly, saying, "Your brain is full of lewd nonsense."

"I remember it was all Shu Chang who told me, she would sometimes tell me with a smile."

"So that's what it meant. No wonder she sometimes secretly laughs when I say that."

Liu Yifei suddenly found the culprit, but she refused to take the blame; if she hadn't seen it, she simply hadn't seen it.

We can't let that filthy woman, Shu Chang, take the blame for this!

After saying this, she stared intently at Lu Yuan, as if to say, "Do you believe me or not?"

"Hmm————" Lu Yuan nodded seriously, indicating his belief.

If you say you don't believe it now, then your body will definitely suffer.

Seeing that he believed in her, Xixi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Will you teach me acting?" she asked, her body swaying slightly as she spoke, her voice a little hoarse.

It might be a woman's nature sometimes, and she herself didn't really notice it.

Men are most sensitive at such times and can then capture these details.

So when she said that, Lu Yuan felt as refreshed and sweet as drinking an ice-cold beverage on a sweltering summer day.

"Of course, you're my wife," Lu Yuan replied with a smile.

Xixi was overjoyed to receive this affirmative answer and prepared to thank Lu Yuan properly.

She knows that many people online criticize her acting skills, saying that she always plays the same role and has the same expression.

She really wanted to say no, she acted really well too!

It's just that she's so beautiful that everyone pays too much attention to her, which is why her acting skills are overlooked.

Of course, she also admitted that her acting skills do need improvement, but it's not like there's none at all!

So now that my Lu Yuan's acting skills are so good, of course I should learn from him.

With such a good teacher, she believes her acting skills will gradually improve.

Thinking about this made her very happy, and then, of course, she completed some of the tasks that Lu Yuan had assigned her.

Lu Yuan also felt that today was truly a good day.

At least I don't have to beg and plead; Xixi will agree as soon as I ask.

If things can be thoroughly discussed, then Lu Yuan can clearly point out which parts of the filming were problematic during the subsequent shooting.

Then I gave him guidance, and that way I didn't have any worries.

I was a little worried that there might be some friction between us since I pointed out her poor acting from the very beginning.

Although Lu Yuan is the director, it's normal for him to talk about the actors like that.

But the actress is Xixi, my girlfriend, so I have to be accommodating and consider her feelings when necessary.

The safest approach is to talk things out openly so she won't have any emotional reactions.

In matters of the heart, there will inevitably be friction. Of course, it would be best to minimize such friction.

Both of them have already met each other's parents. He doesn't want to lose, and he doesn't want Xixi to lose either.

So starting the next day, Lu Yuan decisively pointed out Xi Xi's shortcomings in her performance and provided one-on-one guidance.

Then, starting from the second day, the pace of the entire filming accelerated considerably, which was noticeable to everyone.

Needless to say, Zhang Tianai and the others already knew about Lu Yuan's strength, so they weren't surprised to see him instructing Liu Yifei.

Everyone's smart enough to know that watching Lu Yuan act is comfortable and relaxing, which proves his acting skills are excellent.

In addition, as a director, he has his own understanding of the shots that need to be filmed, so it is reasonable for him to give Liu Yifei acting instructions.

The crew entered a fast-paced shooting mode, and everyone gradually got into the swing of things.

Under Lu Yuan's tutelage, Xi Xi's acting skills have improved dramatically, completely transforming her previous acting style.

However, if she goes to other production teams, she might only make some progress, but she won't be as good as she is in this drama.

Because this was trained by Lu Yuan, she was just cooperating. To truly understand it, she still needs to put in a lot of hard work.

After all, she doesn't have Lu Yuan's talent for extracting terms; she's not a prodigy, she can only gradually understand and practice it.

The water truck was spraying water continuously, and Lu Yuan, Liu Yifei, and Zhang Tianai were all on the rooftop.

This is where their youth ended, and where their youth began.

Lin Zhenxin originally intended to hand over the yearbook as a hint of her feelings.

Xu Taiyu was going to the United States for treatment and, fearing that it would delay her, lied and said that he was already dating Tao Minmin.

"It's raining heavily." Zhang Tianai took out an umbrella and walked to Lu Yuan's side to shield him from the rain. Then she looked at Liu Yifei with a hint of smugness in her expression.

Liu Yifei was at a loss, feeling very sad and upset, but she couldn't show it at this moment.

"goodbye."

She held the yearbook over her head to shield herself from the rain, then quickly ran away, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Zhenxin was heartbroken at this moment, unable to hold back her tears.

He personally helped the person he liked pursue another girl, but in the process, he fell in love with her himself.

In the end, he successfully won over the girl he liked, and she was devastated.

"Let's go together." Lu Yuan turned around, his face showing conflict and heartache.

Xu Taiyu understood everything at this moment, but he just didn't want to delay Lin Zhenxin.

"No need, thank you."

Liu Yifei turned her head, forcing herself to remain calm, and smiled. Then she ran forward frantically, finally collapsing to the ground.

Lu Yuan's heart clenched immediately, but it really happened!

He rushed forward, his eyes filled with worry.

At this moment, Liu Yifei was already in character. Hearing footsteps behind her, she used her hand to stop Lu Yuan behind her.

Lin Zhen was afraid that Xu Taiyu would see her disheveled state at this moment, and Liu Yifei just wanted to perform well.

Seeing this action, Lu Yuan also stopped and continued acting according to the script.

He also wanted to finish quickly so that getting soaked wouldn't hurt his body, but he was worried that Xixi would catch a cold.

So the performance continued.

"Click—"

"How's your leg? Did you fall and get any cuts?"

Filming was stopped, and Lu Yuan rushed to Liu Yifei without even looking at the camera.

"It's okay, look, you're fine, it's just a little red."

Liu Yifei stretched out her leg so he could see clearly that he had indeed really fallen.

According to the script, she was supposed to run a little further, but she slipped and fell.

Seeing that it was just red and there were no serious injuries, Lu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he was still worried, so he gently pressed the red spot to check if any bones had been broken.

"Ouch!" Liu Yifei slapped him in dissatisfaction.

"Did you break a bone?"

"No—" she shook her head with a smile.

Seeing how much Lu Yuan cared about her, she felt a warmth in her heart.

"Go check how the filming went, everyone's waiting for you!" she reminded Lu Yuan.

The rest of the crew members smiled like doting aunts when they saw the two of them.

These two are a real couple; even gossiping about them is sweet.
