Chapter 40: The Perfect Couple

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Director Sun proceeded to say, “Both of you are playing a very real couple, it’s just that your eyes aren’t pure enough. Xu Yang and Wen Xin fell in love when they were 18. Have you guys ever been in love when you were 18?”

Xia Yishan was dumbfounded.

‘Director, I’ve just turned 18.’

Su Jingting had nothing to say either, as he had never been in love when he was 18.

Director Sun rolled the script and slammed it onto his own head. “Why am I even asking that?! The script’s setting is the innocent, first love of two 18-year-olds. It was sweet and pure. Although it’s their first love, it’s not considered true love. It’s more like a good and misty feeling. You’d be too shy to even hold hands. Wen Xin, as her name suggests, is gentle. The memory she’s giving Xu Yang is fresh and deep, the one that he’ll remember for life. The scene in the movie is short, so your eyes have to give out the right feelings. You guys are showing the kind of genuine love that looks like you’ve spent 1,000 years searching for each other. It’s a little too much. Hmm, rest for ten minutes to look for the feeling that I’m talking about…”

Xia Yishan’s heart was pounding. In all sincerity, she agreed with him.

Director Sun was so incisive. He noticed so many things from their eyes alone.

She concluded that her acting skills were lacking; otherwise, she would not be seen through so easily. Instinctively, she glanced at Best Actor Su and saw that he was looking at her as well.

His eyes had a complicated expression.

She did meet his eyes for long and held her head down to look at the script.

When they shot the scene again, Su Jingting’s eyes were different from before. He had showcased the fondness the 18-year-old Xu Yang had for Wen Xin, yet he did not dare to go too far. He held Wen Xin’s hand and whispered into her ear.

His voice was very soft and silky. Wen Xin’s cheeks blushed.

Xia Yishan only managed to fully bring out Wen Xin’s character with Su Jingting’s guidance.

Su Jingting deserved to be called the Best Actor. Not only could he understand what the director was trying to say, but he also led Xia Yishan to her character. She seemed to have forgotten all the grudges she had in her memories and immersed herself entirely into Wen Xin’s character.

Wen Xin smiled at Xu Yang and ran toward him.

Xu Yang who was young and excited went after her and began fooling around. Eventually, Wen Xin grabbed his hand and ran. She would turn her head every now and then, revealing a sweet smile. She would flip her hair when it covered her face, and the camera would have close-up shots of her expression. Her skin was perfect, so she was not worried about the close-ups as she remained fair and glowy.

They nailed it the second time they shot the scene. Later on, the director shot a few more close-ups of both of them.

After it was done, Xia Yishan was welcomed by a teary-eyed Liang Qiaoen. Did her performance move her agent?

“Old Liang, were you so touched that you’re crying?!’1

Liang Qiaoen rolled her eyes at her. “You’re overthinking it.”

Xia Yishan poked her with her elbow. “How was it? Not too shabby, right?”

Liang Qiaoen was not stingy with her compliments. “It wasn’t too shabby. Congratulations on nailing the scene without any goofs.”

Xia Yishan was speechless.

Tve just started, but I have a feeling that it has ended.’

Liang Qiaoen handed her a glass of water. “You don’t have any more scenes, so I’ll be heading back to the office. You can stay on set with Xiaoying to watch how others act. Learn how they do it in the scenes.”

“Sure.”

“Message me on WeChat if there’s anything at all.”

“Take care.”

As soon as Liang Qiaoen left, Xiaoying came to her, “Sister Xia, did Sister Liang leave?”

“Yes, she’s going back to the office. We can stay to watch.”

“Yay, that’s great. I want to see more of Best Actor Su!!! Ooh, Sister Xia, the scene you guys did was so beautiful. You guys were a couple whose match was made in heaven. If I didn’t know you guys were acting, I’d really think that you guys were a real couple! Look at the second female lead. She doesn’t have her own opinion. She doesn’t deserve to play Best Actor Su’s love interest. I want to drag her down and put you with him!!! Aww. You guys are the perfect couple!” Xia Yishan was speechless!

‘Can you not be so attentive?!’
