Chapter 205: Tianxin, Let’s Date! (2)
When Ye Tianxin heard what Jing Zhichen had said, she put a hand on her mouth and smiled. “Elder Brother, are you very close to Yan Jun?”
“I saw that rascal grow up.” Jing Zhichen had just finished his sentence when Yan Jun entered the room. He quipped, “You are the one I saw growing up.”
Yan Jun recollected when he was young. His childhood was filled with blood, sweat, and tears.
“I shan’t bother you two while you read through the script. Do it well. I shall go and look for Director Jin.”
The filming was done in actual locations this time.
They needed to rent a movie studio to shoot some scenes in a train station.
However, the scene in which the male and female lead fell in love was to be filmed in an actual spot.
“Got it.”
Jing Zhichen gave Yan Jun a warning look as he walked out of the door.
‘I didn’t know that Jing Zhichen had a sister,’ Yan Jun thought.
“Tianxin, let’s date.” Yan Jun sat down on the chair beside Ye Tianxin. Then he tried to convince Ye Tianxin, “Listen to me. We both have to act in this movie and the main plot of this movie is the relationship between the male and female leads. So I think that we should get to know each other more. Even though I have never dated, I have seen people who have dated and how they look like. They are very focused when they look at each other. Tianxin, we are both considered newbies in the industry. This is the first movie in which I am the main lead. I believe that it is the same for you, too. I hope that this movie will become a classic in the future and not a black mark on our history.”
Yan Jun looked at Ye Tianxin with anticipation. Meanwhile, Ye Tianxin held the script in her hand. She did not know how to reject Yan Jun’s suggestion.
“Yan Jun, there’s…there’s somebody else.”
Yan Jun smiled. “We won’t be dating as Jun and Tianxin,” he clarified. “We’ll be dating as Zhou Hong and Ying Tao. I think it will help us become more comfortable in our roles and towards each other. Furthermore, to be able to portray our characters more convincingly, I want to address you as Ying Tao from now on and you can address me as Zhou Hong. We will also wear our costumes in the movie as much as we can.”
Ye Tianxin understood what Yan Jun meant.
What Yan Jun meant was that he would always be in character.
“When the filming is done, we will just be friends who filmed a movie together. I don’t have any other intentions towards you.”
Yan Jun expressed once more that he had no other improper thoughts towards Ye Tianxin. He just wanted to play his character well.
He wanted to make his character, Zhou Hong, a memorable one.
This was his devotion to his acting career.
“What if we cannot get out of character when the filming ends?”
Yan Jun smiled and replied assuringly, “How is that possible? I am still able to tell real life from the reel one.”
“Will you let me consider this?”
Ye Tianxin hesitated for a while. It would be extremely helpful for the progress of the movie if she and Yan Jun were able to immerse themselves into the characters as soon as possible.
“Tianxin, Yan Jun, come here,” Director Jon called. “Let’s go look for Du Juan to discuss the script.”
Director Jin then led Ye Tianxin and Yan Jun to the director’s office.
Du Juan was not just the scriptwriter of the movie; she was also the producer. That was why she had heavy responsibilities.
“Du Juan, I think that in order to let Tianxin and Yan Jun become immersed into their characters, you must explain to them your original intention behind these two characters.”
Du Juan put down her pen and turned around, gesturing for the two to sit down.
“The characters Zhou Hong and Ying Tao are based on real people.”
