Chapter 100
Just by looking at Lu Yao’s agent’s appearance, people could tell that she was a very strong woman. She spoke to the director in an arrogant and bossy manner. She was blunt to the point, “Right now it’s 11 o’clock, we must finish the shooting at 12 o’clock. Also, no one in the studio is allowed to take a video of the shoot. The shooting content and news of the shoot should be strictly confidential.”
The director smiled brightly and said, “That’s only natural.”
The agent frowned when her gaze landed on Ji Qingqing who was quietly drinking a cup of hot water by the side.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that they must prepare in advance for the scandals that Ji Qingqing will start after she worked with a male artist. Ji Qingqing and Lu Yao are shooting a chocolate together. She was afraid that there would be numerous headlines about them after the shoot.
However, it wasn’t something she should be too worried about. After all, having fans ship them together as a couple was a way to earn traffic and money with proper marketing. After the news died down a little, she will just post a clarification post, stating that there was nothing between them. This way, only Ji Qingqing will be slandered and scolded by the fans.
“Mr. Lu and Miss Ji, the director asked me to come here to ask if the two of you are ready for the shoot?”
Ji Qingqing felt much better after she finished drinking the cup of hot water. At least, she didn’t feel like tiny blades were cutting through her stomach like before. She smiled and said, “I’m ready.”
Lu Yao had just finished applying his makeup. The cold expression on his face seemed to be glued to his face. He nodded at the assistant.
The two people arrived at the shooting site. Both of them had an expressionless face while they held the script in their hands.
Lu Yao still had an indifferent expression on his face, “Is it sweet?”
“It’s sweet!”
“It’s not as sweet as you!”
There were less than ten lines in total. The most important thing in this was the artist’s action and the emotions in the artist’s eyes. There was also a scene where Lu Yao feeds Ji Qingqing a piece of chocolate.
Lu Yao took a piece of chocolate and fed it directly to Ji Qingqing. Ji Qingqing took a bite of the chocolate and the sweet taste of the chocolate instantly filled her mouth.
It was really sweet.
The director stood by the side as he watched the two people rehearse. He originally didn’t have high expectations for Ji Qingqing, but after seeing their rehearsal, the person he didn’t have high expectations for turned into Lu Yao.
“Lu Yao, your emotions in your eyes should look gentler. You also need to smile. When you feed the chocolate to Qingqing, the two of you have some interactions between your eyes…”
The director tried his best to persuade Lu Yao to look “sweeter”; he even personally went up there to show Lu Yao how he should act. But in the end, Lu Yao was still unable to give off a sweet feeling with his performance. Lu Yao still had an expressionless face that gave off the feeling: I’m the best in the world.
Ji Qingqing suspected that he must have a facial paralysis.
The agent said that he was going to leave at 12 o’clock, but it was already eleven-thirty now. If they don’t hurry, then they will need to schedule another day for the shoot.
Ji Qingqing took a piece of chocolate from the staff and fed it directly to Lu Yao. She exchanged lines with Lu Yao.
“Is it sweet?”
Lu Yao was caught off guard by the chocolate in front of his mouth. He subconsciously turned his head away from the chocolate.
“Open your mouth!”
Lu Yao took a bite of the chocolate that Ji Qingqing was holding.
“Is it sweet?”
After a moment of hesitation, he replied, “It’s sweet.”
Ji Qingqing didn’t mind that Lu Yao had already taken a bite of the chocolate as she bit into the other side of the chocolate that Lu Yao had not bitten into. She smiled brightly and her eyes curved into crescent moons, “It’s not as sweet as you.”
“Okay! Good! Just act like this!” The director was excited, “Lu Yao, you will exchange lines with Qingqing. Let’s start shooting!”
There was still some leftover chocolate inside Lu Yao’s mouth, It tasted sweet and greasy. He nodded his head at the director.
