Ye Tianxin stood beside Yan Jun, holding her script in her hand. When Director Jin saw them, he quickly asked, "How did you two feel after yesterday's recording test?"
"Director Jin, I had a dream last night."
After Ye Tianxin and Guan Chenxi left last night, Yan Jun did not read the script. He sleeps and has "remarkable" dreams".
What was amazing was that he had dreamed of what was happening in the script.
It was as if the entire script had been screened in his dream.
When he woke up in the morning, he saw his pillow wet with his tears. He can't say anything.
It was a terrible feeling.
“You didn't cover your ass well. That's why you have a dream."
Director Jin patted Yan Jun on the shoulder.
Yan Jun smiled, embarrassed.
“Tianxin, come too. Let's try that scene.”
In the script, Zhou Hong was a dapper young man. He had the toughness of a soldier but also romantic, a trait unique among the young men born to educated families. One could see this from him carrying Ying Tao's flowers.
"This is a buffer."
Director Jin pointed to the props prepared beforehand.
“This is the bouquet of roses that Zhou Hong prepared for Ying Tao on the 100th day since they met. In the script, this was also when Zhou Hong decided to spend the rest of his life with Ying Tao.”
Ye Tianxin looked at the rose in Yan Jun's hand. The strange feeling in his heart started to grow bigger.
On the 100th day since they met…
Roses…
Sacrifice…
All of this seems to be happening in what her mother wrote in her diary.
Is this a coincidence?
Or did Mother Du Juan really know Ye Tianxin's mother?
Is that possible?
"Ying Tao, let's begin," Yan Jun said. Then, Ye Tianxin sat in front of the table and propped up her chin with her palm. A song is then played on the radio.
A gentle breeze blew in her long hair, revealing her beautiful face.
"Ying Tao, do you have time today?"
Yan Jun tilted his head from behind the window. The sun is behind him. Only the faint silhouette of his handsome face could be seen.
Her eyes are bright and full of love.
"No."
Yan Jun leaned against the window sill, took out a bouquet of roses, and placed it before Ye Tianxin's face in silence.
“Happy 100th Anniversary.”
Director Jin looked at the monitor in front of him. Both Ye Tianxin and Yan Jun had acted extremely well. The scene was very romantic.
Yan Jun stood in front of Ye Tianxin and looked at her bright red lips. Her lips seemed to pull her closer, and she could not help but kiss her.
"Kiss the scent."
Yan Jun and Ye Tianxin smelled the scent of a red rose together.
“It's very fragrant.”
Yan Jun moved to Ye Tianxin's side and held Ye Tianxin's hand. "Let's go."
The young man pulled the girl by the hand, and they walked through the crowd, riding a motorcycle parked in an empty spot in front of the dormitory.
Zhou Hong helped Ying Tao put on his helmet, and Ying Tao wrapped his arm around his waist.
The wind roared past Ying Tao's ears.
They arrived at the practice room with a piano.
Zhou Hong taught Ying Tao how to play the piano.
Du Juan held the script and walked over to Director Jin's side. Tears welled up in his eyes. Then they fell down before he could even reach her.
'My dear friend, where are you now?' Du Juan wondered. 'I hope you'll be able to watch this movie when it comes out.'
The afternoon sun shone on Zhou Hong and Ying Tao. Zhou Hong suddenly couldn't help but kiss Ying Tao.
Her lips slowly moved closer to Ying Tao's lips. His eyes were as deep as the blue sea.
Ye Tianxin saw Yan Jun approaching and was so frightened that she stepped aside.
He knew they were acting.
He knew that, usually, when actors performed, they would do ad-lib (unprepared speech or spontaneous improvisation coming out of the script).
Perhaps, in such a situation, Zhou Hong and Ying Tao would succeed in kissing.
But at this moment, he retreated and rejected it.
She wants to keep her precious first kiss in this life for him.
"There's a bit of dirt here" Zhou Hong muttered.
Zhou Hong reached out to Ying Tao's face as he wriggled uneasily. He used his finger to rub the dirt on his face gently.
The fuzzy feeling became clearer.
“I've reported to my superiors that I want to marry you.”
It took some time for Ye Tianxin to successfully separate Ying Tao's feelings from hers after recording that scene.
Guan Chenxi brought him a glass of warm water. Ye Tianxin took a sip of it before asking Guan Chenxi about his appearance.
"That's very nice."
Li Zhiwei patted Ye Tianxin's shoulder lightly.
Ye Tianxin was a rare talent.
"Tianxin, your acting is very good, I want to kidnap you and bring you back to the Film Academy."
Du Juan wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and walked over to Li Zhiwei and Ye Tianxin. "Tianxin, you're acting really well," he praised Ye Tianxin.
“There was a time where I almost felt that you were him. That look and those eyes, they are all very familiar.”
“Bu, what's your best friend's name?” Ye Tianxin suddenly asked.
The second female lead?
Ye Tianxin remembered that there was a second female main character written in the script.
The second female lead grew up with the male lead, Yan Jun.
He had some scenes with the male lead.
The second female lead was at Zhou Hong's house when she returned and was about to tell her parents that she had fallen in love and wanted to marry Ying Tao.
However, unlike the cruel second female lead in the film, the second female lead in the film was extremely generous.
When he found out that there was someone else that Zhou Hong liked, he let her go without any fuss and even gave her a blessing.
“It must be Chunxue.” Li Zhiwei held onto Ye Tianxin's hand and muttered, “Chunxue is a student of the Film Academy. I don't think he has time to act in this movie.”
“Chunxue.”
Chunxue wore a fashionable dress. Beside him, an assistant lifted an umbrella to shade himself.
Chunxue is beautiful.
He lives up to his name.
She was so beautiful that Ye Tianxin wondered how could a woman like her exist in this world.
“Because this is Aunt Du Juan's movie, I have to come no matter how busy I am.”
Li Zhiwei held onto Ye Tianxin's hand and brought him to Chunxue.
“Chunxue, this is the female lead in the film, Ye Tianxin. This Chunxue.”
Chunxue reached out her hand to shake Ye Tianxin's hand.
“I've long heard that Aunt Du Juan chose you as the female lead specifically. Looks like you really have a face born for the movie.”
"Hello, Master Chunxue," Ye Tianxin greeted him.
“I am not a teacher,” Chunxue corrected Ye Tianxin. "Just call me Chunxue's sister."
As it was difficult for Chunxue to find time in her schedule, the crew decided at the last minute to record the Chunxue scene first.
Ye Tianxin naturally did not mind that.
She wanted to see how the award-winning actress would perform and learn from her.
"Tianxin, what did you ask me earlier?"
Du Juan asked Ye Tianxin after setting up the Chunxue scene.
Ye Tianxin shook her head. He had spoken rashly and thoughtlessly before, which was why he asked Du Juan that question.
Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, it seemed like he was thinking too much.
He was afraid the answer he would receive would prove what he thought was wrong.
He was even more afraid that he would be proven right.
If Ying Tao in "Red Cherry" is really her mother, then how should she tell Mother Du Juan that her mother is dead?
"Mom, I just want to be close to you," Ye Tianxin told Du Juan lovingly, hugging him like how a princess hugs a mother. He rubbed his head against Du Juan's chest.
Du Juan reached out his hand and patted his head gently.
"I haven't asked you yet" Du Juan recalled, releasing his embrace so he could see Ye Tianxin's face. "How do college entrance exams go?"
"That's fine," Ye Tianxin replied flirtatiously, staring at Du Juan.
Du Juan smiled when he heard that. "You're saying that it's okay means you've done it well."
"Everything is uncertain until the results come out." Ye Tianxin showed.
“Is your first choice still Capital University?” ask Du Juan.
Ye Tianxin nodded. "That's fine. I want to be a diplomat. Big brother Li is also very supportive of this.”
Du Juan was very busy. He only chatted with Ye Tianxin for a while when others came to ask him something. Du Juan did not have time to talk much with Ye Tianxin, so he asked Ye Tianxin to read the script himself.
Since Chunxue was there, the filming schedule was changed at the last minute.
Ye Tianxin did not have any scenes today, so she followed the film crew to where Zhou Hong and Chunxue's character, Qin Shen, would record their scenes.
Someone from the props department had already prepared the materials for the scene.
The makeup artist Chunxue, whom she brought along, performed her performance. The artist did wonders because Chunxue looked so beautiful. He really looked out of this world.
Everyone on set was busy.
Good weather. It was a bright and windy day. The sky above them was bright, and there was a fine white cloud that looked like cotton candy.
Ye Tianxin suddenly wondered if Li Qingcang was experiencing the same good weather ...
"Tianxin, do you want to chat with me?" Li Zhiwei asked Ye Tianxin. He had no intention of watching this part of the film, and he felt a little out of place.
"certain."
Ye Tianxin had something to ask Li Zhiwei as well.
Li Zhiwei brought Ye Tianxin to the cafe not far from the set. He bought Ye Tianxin a strawberry-flavored ice cream.
"Tianxin, compared to your performance and Yan Jun yesterday, you have improved greatly today."
Ye Tianxin licked her ice cream. “Yan Jun and I read the script together yesterday,” he shared happily.
"You're quite a hard worker, Tianxin." Li Zhiwei said softly. "I heard from Du Juan that you have taken her as your godmother?"
"Yes. When Grandma and I first came to the capital, Mother Du Juan brought us in. When I was worried about my grandmother's medical bills, she also gave me this opportunity. Du Juan's mother is my benefactor.”
Li Zhiwei was surprised by what Ye Tianxin said.
He was a little jealous of Du Juan.
How could he have such a sweet and wise goddaughter?
Li Zhiwei decided to try matchmaking while she was still able to give birth.
"Tianxin, your acting is intuitive, but I think you still need to improve it," Li Zhiwei said.
Li Zhiwei gave Ye Tianxin a valuable lesson about acting while Ye Tianxin ate her ice cream.
Ye Tianxin gained a lot during their conversation.
Right at that moment, Li Zhiwei's phone, which was on the table, rang.
Flashing on the screen is the name, 'Ning'.
