Chinese Entertainment 2014: Young Actresses Are Becoming Dazzling

Chapter 70 I'm driving, don't move!

"Besides, dramatic scenes are much more tiring."

Su Yu leaned back in his chair.

"At least you can move around a bit in action scenes, but in dramatic scenes you don't move much at all. After standing there all afternoon, my back is stiff."

"Oh~"

Jing Tian drawled out her words, and while waiting at the red light, she reached out and gave him a light pinch on the lower back.

"Shall I give you a massage tonight?"

Su Yu nodded with satisfaction, "I'll give you a massage too~"

He then grabbed her wandering hand and pressed it back onto the steering wheel:

"I'm driving, don't move around."

"snort."

Upon arriving at the film and television base, Su Yu had just gotten out of the car and hadn't even reached the entrance of the studio when he saw Lu Han's nanny van parked right next to him.

The car door opened, and Lu Han, wearing a loose gray sweatshirt and a baseball cap pulled low, yawned as she got out, clearly having just been dragged out of bed.

"Su Yu!"

When he saw Su Yu, his eyes lit up, but he didn't move closer. He just stood there, waved to Su Yu, and waited for Su Yu to walk over first before following him side by side.

In fact, from the first day they met until now, Lu Han's attitude towards him has always been like this: polite, courteous, and respectful, but at the same time, there is a very clear boundary between them.

Completely different from Lin Gou, but somewhat similar to Chen Duling, whom I just met.

What's it like? It's like you can talk about movies and have meals together, but he won't touch your personal belongings or make jokes about you.

It shows a great sense of propriety and is the most basic level of caution one should have towards others in this industry.

Su Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with it; on the contrary, he quite appreciated this sense of boundaries.

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Su Yu glanced at him.

"I was reading the script until 1 a.m.,"

Lu Han yawned again, scratching his head sheepishly.

"I have too many lines for today's scene, and I'm afraid I'll get stuck and make the whole crew wait for me."

"Oh, I see."

"Have you ever counted how many lines you have?" Su Yu suddenly asked mysteriously.

"Huh? Do we have to count the number of lines again?"

Lu Han was stunned for a moment, her sleepy eyes widening instantly.

"Ahem, no, I was just asking, because I have fourteen characters in my lines today~"

"Damn, are you kidding me?!"

He raised his hand and punched Su Yu on the shoulder, but all he got in return was Su Yu's sly smile.

Hahahaha.

The two walked into the photography studio while talking.

Today's scenes are concentrated in the afternoon; the morning is for blocking and rehearsing lines.

Zheng Baorui and Luo Yongchang were already sitting behind the monitor. When they saw Su Yu and Lu Han come in together, the two directors exchanged a satisfied look.

The two of them walking side by side exuded the charm of Wu Xie and Xiao Ge, their chemistry was simply divinely inspired.

The two whispered to each other that when the production team was promoting the film, they would definitely tie the two of them together!

The morning's positioning went smoothly.

Although Su Yu only had fourteen words of dialogue, every position he took, every turn of his head, and even the angle at which his fingers rested on the hilt of the black gold ancient sword were so precise that it was as if he had rehearsed it hundreds of times in his mind.

Lu Han watched silently from the side, her little notebook already filled with notes.

At lunchtime, Lu Han's assistant brought him a lunchbox. Just as he picked up his chopsticks, he saw Su Yu sitting alone in the corner, biting into a chicken leg, with a copy of the original "Tomb Raiders" comic book borrowed from the props team spread out in front of him, reading it with great interest.

Lu Han thought for a moment, then picked up her lunchbox and walked over.

"Brother Yu, is anyone here?"

Su Yu looked up and pointed to the empty seat opposite him: "Sit down, sit down. Hey, don't call me Brother Yu, I'm two years younger than you."

"OK."

After Lu Han sat down, she naturally placed her lunchbox at a safe distance from Su Yu's chicken leg, as if afraid that Su Yu would misunderstand.

He took a few bites, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Su Yu, there were a few parts of the scene I did this afternoon that I wasn't quite sure about. When Wu Xie first saw Zhang Qiling make a move, did his expression show more shock or more admiration?"

Su Yu put down his chopsticks and thought about it seriously.

"I don't think so," Su Yu said. "It's more like he's confused."

"stupid?"

"Yes, bewildered. Think about it, what kind of methods does Zhang Qiling use?"

His actions were so fast that Wu Xie didn't even have time to be shocked or admire him before it was all over.

So your first reaction isn't "Wow, that's amazing," but rather "What just happened?"—basically, that bewildered feeling where your brain hasn't caught up with your eyes yet.

Lu Han bit the end of her chopsticks and thought for three seconds before her eyes suddenly lit up.

"I get it! It's that feeling where you freeze up completely, forgetting even to make a face!"

"Yes, yes, that's it, there wasn't time to make any expressions."

Lu Han took out his notebook and quickly wrote down the sentence. After he finished writing, he looked up at Su Yu with a look of gratitude in his eyes.

"Su Yu, thank you. I'm not from a professional acting background, and this is my first time acting, so I'm under a lot of pressure."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu glanced at his chicken leg:

"How about I give you a chicken leg as a reward?"

"No, no, no, you don't need to. You can eat it."

Su Yu nodded with satisfaction. He didn't steal her away; he's teachable!

"Keep it up, don't get really confused this afternoon."

The afternoon's filming went very smoothly.

Following Su Yu's instructions, Lu Han completely blanked out her expression the moment Zhang Qiling made his move, leaving only a layer of bewilderment in her eyes as she hadn't yet reacted.

Luo Yongchang noticed this subtle detail. He adjusted his glasses behind the monitor and, unusually, praised her, saying, "Lu Han, you handled your emotions very well today!"

Lu Han stepped down from the center of the field, walked to Su Yu's side, and said somewhat excitedly, "Su Yu, I really want to thank you!"

Su Yu exchanged a few more polite words, but he had only mentioned it casually.

But for Lu Han, who had heard countless insincere compliments, this was the first time he had received genuine praise from the two directors.

He understood the situation very clearly; without Su Yu's help in analyzing the character, managing his emotions, and clarifying the overall logic, he might have remained stuck in this situation for a long time.

Of course, the other people in the crew were also helping him—the director, the acting coach, and the actors he was acting with—but for some reason, only when Su Yu spoke, and when Su Yu guided him into the role, could he immediately form a clear picture in his mind.

This feeling was strange, but he didn't think about it too much. Maybe it was just because Su Yu was so professionally competent?

After wrapping up, the crew members dispersed in twos and threes.

Su Yu was leaning against the wall texting Jing Tian to say that he was finishing work early today when Lu Han suddenly walked over from behind.
