Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 261: Mother pays daughter’s debt, it’s fair!

"Stand up straight, both of you!"

"Tell me, whose idea was it?"

"Mine!" Jing Tian raised his head.

"I participated too." Liu Yifei added.

"I see. One principal offender and one accomplice, right?"

"No, no, no, there are no accomplices. We are all the masterminds." Liu Yifei explained, "It's just that I need to focus on acting, so Tiantian is the one who carried out the execution."

"Oh, you're playing sisterly love here with me, right?" Zhen Jiecheng smiled brightly, "Should I cooperate and express my gratitude?"

Seeing Liu Yifei pouting, he felt inexplicably angry and wanted to poke her down.

But considering that he had just poked her mother's mouth some time ago, he temporarily changed the direction of his outstretched finger and tapped her forehead hard.

"It's a great honor to be the mastermind, isn't it?"

"You feel really proud of changing the script while filming, right? You feel like you have inherited the director's true teachings, right?"

"Fuck, you two are using your long-planned plan on me. You two can do it!"

Zhen Jiecheng gnashed his teeth.
"Use all means to get me to join your group first!"

"Change back to the original plot at the last minute, and call Huang Bo!"

"Kill first and report later? The dust has settled? Force me to submit?"

"Don't even think about it!"

"Senior~~~" Jing Tian spoke in a sheep-like voice, winked at Liu Yifei, then pulled Zhen Jiecheng's arm and shook it hard.

"Senior~~~" Liu Yifei realized it later, but she couldn't imitate Jing Tian's style. However, it didn't stop her from holding Zhen Jiecheng's other arm.

"Let go!"

"Don't do this, it's useless!"

"Or, change the script back."

"But senior, the original plot is not as good as this one, and the dramatic conflict is insufficient." Jing Tian blinked pitifully, "You taught me that as a director, I should strive for excellence and serve serious art. Now that there is a better choice, how can I give it up?"

"Don't want to change? That's fine!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "I've prepared a second one for you."

"Or, a substitute, a misplacement."

He broke free from their hands and strode away with a sullen face.

"But senior, in order to create a strong enough dramatic conflict, I have to use close-up shots. There's no way to use a stand-in or misplace the shot if it's a close-up!"

Jing Tian shouted at Zhen Jiecheng's back.

But I couldn't even shout to stop, and all I got was a firm reply:
"Choose one of the above two options, there is no third option!"

"There must be a third option." Liu Xiaoli smiled gently.

He patted the two dejected heads and comforted them:

"As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems!"

"Mom, do you have a way to convince the senior?" Liu Yifei looked up in surprise.

"What can I do?" Liu Xiaoli looked away guiltily. "Don't you two know what kind of person Jiecheng is? It's useless to play tricks on him."

"So in my opinion, it's better to be sincere."

"Appeal to their emotions, appeal to their reasoning, and slowly overcome the difficulties."

"Believe me, no matter how hard it is, it will soften after repeated attacks!"

Liu Xiaoli said this very firmly.

The tone and expression infected Liu Yifei and Jing Tian.

The two of them felt inexplicably convinced.

So, the attack began!

First it was Bao Dexi.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Who?"

"I, Old Bao."

"Jie Cheng, you are the director, you should understand this principle."

"It's just a hug, two kisses, and three tongue flicks, emmm, it's no big deal!"

"So many actors have even taken off their pants, what are you? Nothing."

"Shit! When people take off their pants, they are with the opposite sex! What about me?" Zhen Jiecheng clenched his fists, "If I were to film No Sex, Summer Palace, I could do it too!"

"What about Brokeback Mountain?" Bao Dexi raised his eyebrows.

"I'm leaving! Don't bother me!" He pushed Bao Dexi out of the door while spitting out saliva amylase. "Don't think I don't know what you two are up to. When the promotion for the movie comes out, I will definitely be the one leading it."

"'Yen Kit Cheng devotes himself to art'! 'Yen Kit Cheng and Huang Bo kiss passionately'! 'Shocking, the Palme d'Or director is actually in front of the camera.'"

"I can come up with all kinds of posters and titles just by thinking about it. Fuck, you want to cheat me? No way!"

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Who?"

"I am Ji Jianming."

"who!"

"Jiecheng, it's me, Jielun!"

"Fuck! Get out of here right now, or I'll go stab your rumored ex-girlfriend! And then tell the paparazzi: Your rumored ex-girlfriend said I'm better than Jie Lun!"

"Fuck!" Jie Lun was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

When facing a shameless person, whoever has shame will be in trouble.

"Isn't it just getting out? Just get out!"

One after another, the knocks on the door continued.

Even Xu Qing called from thousands of miles away to fan the flames.

"Jie Cheng~"

"Sister, shut up!"

"Woo woo woo, Jie Cheng~"

"Shit!" Zhen Jiecheng blurted out.

"What? Okay, okay! I'll contact the funeral home now and write a letter of forgiveness. Jiecheng, come quickly!"

"Sister, you want me to die!" Zhen Jiecheng's scalp tingled.

"Hahaha~ It's all the same! Either you or me. In short: only one person can get out alive!"

Zhen Jiecheng: (⊙︿⊙)
"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Who is it~"

Zhen Jiecheng felt numb and listless.

"Jiecheng, open the door, Auntie."

"Jiecheng, Auntie knows, it's hard for you."

Finally, someone different has come, and it’s still the aunt who is so considerate!
Zhen Jiecheng cheered up and made a bitter face.
"Auntie, this is more than embarrassing!"

"It's okay to hug, but also kiss!"

"It's okay to kiss, but you can't be out of place!"

"It's fine if you can't misplace it, but you can't even use a substitute!"

"Not letting me use a double is fine, but I have to stick out my tongue! I want to nibble! And the person I'm nibbling is Huang Bo!"

"This is not only a slur on my mouth, but also an insult to my personality!"

"Yes, Tiantian and Xixi are ignorant and have wronged you." Liu Xiaoli smiled gently.

"But~" he stretched out his tone.

"Jie Cheng, you know this is their first solo work, so it's understandable that they want to strive for perfection, isn't it?"

"Yes! I understand!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "But..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Xiaoli interrupted him.
“No buts.”

"Auntie knows that you are unbalanced."

"so."

"Auntie will help you balance."

"Sissi's movie wants to taint your mouth, so you can taint your aunt's mouth."

"A daughter's debt is paid by her mother. Isn't that balanced?"

It was not until this moment that Zhen Jiecheng noticed that his aunt had put on very delicate makeup.

The slim-fit black trousers are very tight and swing back and forth, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"If you want to take pictures, go ahead. Grab, rub, whatever you want." Liu Xiaoli raised her head and took a look, then said vaguely, "Do it through the clothes. Don't put your hands inside. You can do whatever you want with other things."

"Ah? Oh!"

"By the way, the next round is Professor Cui Xinqin."

"Wait for Professor Cui to call you, and then agree to it reluctantly. This way you won't arouse suspicion."

"Okay, Auntie!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded.

After pinching her ass, he lay comfortably on the sofa, spreading his legs to make it easier for his aunt to do what she wanted.

"By the way, Auntie, is it okay as long as I can meet Tiantian and Xixi's requirements for the camera?"

"Yes." Liu Xiaoli continued to work.

I was startled, raised my head,
"Jie Cheng, what do you mean by this?"

"Auntie, camera techniques are very complicated. Through permutations and combinations, we can often achieve the same effect. Stand-ins and misalignment can also be used without affecting close-ups. Just because they can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it either!"

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli was dumbfounded.

He lowered his head and glanced at Zhen Jiecheng's head.

"Is my work in vain?"

He looked up at Zhen Jiecheng again.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Breathing rapidly and gasping for air.

"I'll bite you to death!"

Zhen Jiecheng leaned back on the sofa tiredly, as if his soul had been drained out.

The windows were open for ventilation.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tap Zhen Jiecheng's head.

He rolled his eyes, twisted his butt, and walked away quickly.

Not long after, the phone rang. Zhen Jiecheng answered it without even glancing at it.
"Hey, Mr. Cui, please stop nagging! I promise that I can satisfy them both, okay?"

"Ah! Who made me a student of Beijing Film Academy? Who made me their senior?"

“It is my duty to contribute to my alma mater.”

On the other end of the phone, Cui Xinqin smiled particularly brightly.

In the office, all the teachers from the Department of Performance gave a thumbs up to Zhen Jiecheng for his noble character.

I exclaimed that Beijing Film Academy has finally produced a director from Beijing Film Academy!

He also helped to bring up two directors from the acting department, especially Jing Tian!

After Wang Chunzi came back, he praised Jing Tian's performance on the set, and said that in the future, the acting department would no longer need to go to the directing/photography department and hope for "good things to stay in the family." Emmm, well, it's still necessary, but at least they can straighten their backs a little.

Because a fertile stream has grown in their own field!
"Okay!"

"very nice!"

Wang Jinsong's face was ruddy.
"With Jiecheng leading her, Tiantian will not only grow smoothly, but will also not be affected by the bad habits of the directors at Beijing Film Academy."

"Our acting department is full of vitality today!"

“A tomorrow where everything flourishes is just around the corner!”

In May, the rainy season has arrived in Taiwan. But today the weather was good, with bright sunshine and clear blue sky.

Early in the morning, everyone rushed to the set to prepare for the final scene.

Liu Xiaoli personally took part in putting on makeup and dressing up her daughter.

On the other side, Zhen Jiecheng was also changing into a suit. His movements were very lazy, listless, and he seemed a little dazed.

Yo~ Isn’t it just listless and dull?

Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up and then she couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that this idiom has this meaning and can be used to describe the cause and effect relationship of things.

Seeing Zhen Jiecheng change into a suit and start tying his tie, I couldn't help but think of the lyrics of "Those Years".

And he whispered:
"Standing blankly in front of the mirror, clumsily tying the knot of the red tie."

"Comb your hair like an adult and put on a handsome suit. I'm sure you'll be more beautiful than I imagined when I see you later."

“So well written and so fitting!”

"Yes, Mom." Liu Yifei nodded. "Senior is a recognized talent in our Beijing Film Academy!"

After a pause, he added,
“It’s not just Beiying!”

"Yes, yes, it's not just Beijing Film Academy." Liu Xiaoli smiled, "After she puts on her makeup and puts on her wedding dress, our Xixi will definitely be as beautiful as the lyrics say, more beautiful than you can imagine!"

"Mom, you're beautiful too!" Liu Yifei pointed at the mirror, "Look, your face is rosy and your complexion is really good."

"No, it wasn't like this yesterday. Mom, did you change to a new moisturizing product? I want to use it too!"

Liu Xiaoli: (σ_σ)
This...I'm afraid it's not suitable for you.

After various jokes, Liu Yifei's attention was finally diverted.

Soon, put on the wedding dress.

The set was also set up under Jing Tian's arrangement.

There is no longer any scene of Ko Ching-teng's imaginary passionate kiss with Shen Jiayi.

In Jing Tian's opinion, Jiubadao's setting of this content is completely superfluous, and can even be said to be one-sided.

Although this kind of imagination satisfies the audience's taste to a certain extent, it destroys the theme of the work: regret!
Thinking of this, Jing Tian once again reminded Liu Yifei,

"Sister Xixi, the Shen Jiayi you portrayed earlier was very perfect. Whether you can add the finishing touch and establish Shen Jiayi's image depends on this last scene!"

"Just like what my senior said: If we can't have red faces when we meet again, can we still have red eyes?"

"Don't worry, Tiantian, I'm ready!"

Liu Yifei nodded seriously.

With red eyes, I can dig up the dark memory of misunderstanding the relationship between my mother and my senior and find the feeling.

With red eyes and a bright smile, just put yourself in the shoes of the sudden enlightenment you feel when a misunderstanding is resolved!
Liu Yifei closed her eyes and immediately began to gather her emotions.

Seeing Liu Yifei preparing, Jing Tian walked towards Zhen Jiecheng with light steps.

"Senior, that sentence you said casually before is so profound. Can you expand on it and write it into a song? I want to use it as an interlude in this scene."

"What?" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned. "Which sentence?"

"It's like this: if we can't have red faces when we meet again, can we still have red eyes?"

"I said that? Don't f**k me. When did I say that? I didn't say that!" Zhen Jiecheng pressed three "No" buttons without even thinking.

It’s better to let Jielun install the song-writing function, since Zhen Jiecheng is too lazy to do it anyway.

"Yes, I heard it!" Liu Xiaoli walked over and took Jing Tian's arm, "I'll testify for Tian Tian."

Zhen Jiecheng was speechless and waved his hands guiltily.

"Let's talk about this later. Let's finish filming first."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked towards the set.

"There's hope!" Jing Tian cheered and hugged Liu Xiaoli's waist, "Thank you Auntie for helping me!"

"You're welcome. Auntie is very happy to help you and Sissi."

Liu Yifei was ready and nodded to Jing Tian.

Ji Jianming and the lighting team finished setting up the lighting. Bao Dexi checked the camera and made an "OK" gesture to his apprentice.

Everything is ready, Jing Tian picked up the loudspeaker:

"action!"

In front of the mirror, Ko Ching-teng adjusted his collar and began to tie his red tie.

He is no longer as clumsy as he used to be, and he ties the knot steadily and standardly.

He has a sophisticated hairstyle, is dressed in a suit and has a bright smile on his face.

It seems... a little too brilliant.

"Ke Jingteng, stop wasting time. You want the bride to wait for you alone!"

Xu Boxun poked his head out and urged.

The overly bright smile was immediately explained: it turned out that they were getting married.

Cut the mirror.

It's already a wedding scene.

However, Ko Ching-teng sat upright in the guest seat at the wedding.

The smile is still bright, as if blending into the festive atmosphere.

Playfulness is now moderate and not as unbridled as in the past.

Suddenly, the lights dimmed!
"The bride is coming~"

Everyone looked over!

With delicate makeup and a pure white wedding dress, under the lighting and shadow effects of Ji Jianming, Liu Yifei, with her lips pursed, seemed to be filled with all the beauty in the world.

But she stood next to Huang Bo, who was baring his teeth, grinning, holding his head high and showing off, and even had her arm around him.

The abrupt contrast creates a strong sense of tearing, but Bao Dexi's balanced composition further highlights Shen Jiayi's brilliance.

Their eyes met and stopped!
Close-up is in focus and background is blurred.

The hustle and bustle was still noisy, but it seemed as if the world was left with only Shen Jiayi and Ke Jingteng staring at each other quietly.

Shen Jiayi stood sideways with her head lowered.

Ko Ching-teng sat, looked up, and stared.

The black suit and the white wedding dress contrast and intertwine.

It seemed that as long as Ko Ching-teng stood up and took Shen Jiayi's hand, the two would be able to blend perfectly together and become the happiest couple.

But they passed each other!

The wedding march continues.

The applause and cheers continue.

Without blinking, Ko Ching-teng's eyes followed the receding footsteps, the fluttering skirt, and the bride in his dreams.

"Wait, you can kiss the bride if you want!"

"But, you have to kiss me first, just like you would kiss the bride later."

After the wedding, facing the challenges from the bride's classmates, Huang Bo held his head high.
"That's only fair~"

"Fuck! You are too stingy~" Jielun was very angry, and his tone was very northern. With a pair of squinting eyes showing disdain, he played his true colors.

"That's right, this is not right~" Deng Chao specially learned the Minnan dialect, and his pronunciation was clear and loud.

Facing the protests from the crowd, Huang Bo spread his hands and said, LeBron James.

"That can't be helped~"

"Bang~"

The sound of chairs colliding with tables!
Huang Bo's smugness was still on his face, but his eyes suddenly widened and his pupils shrank.

A figure suddenly rushed up, grabbed his head, locked his neck, and knocked Huang Bo back repeatedly, but the figure followed closely.

Finally he was stopped by the table and fell among the flowers.

"Pass!"

A stand-in came on stage, rearranged the camera, adjusted the angle, and shot strictly according to the storyboard designed by Zhen Jiecheng.

At the end, when "Ko Ching-teng" stood up, a fixed close-up shot skipped over the black suit, achieving a similar "black blocking" effect, and then replaced by Zhen Jiecheng.

This is one of the means to create a "one-shot" in "No Return", which can be subsequently assembled into a complete long shot through editing.

Wiping the corners of his mouth and drooping his shoulders, his upright and mature demeanor disappeared, and Ko Ching-teng seemed to have become that stubborn, ruffian boy again.

Shen Jiayi stood with her hands behind her back and her head tilted, as if she had returned to school and was still the cute little girl.

One step, two steps, towards each other.

They stopped in tacit understanding, several meters apart.

His eyes gradually turned red, but no tears were seen.

The next second, he burst into laughter.

The two of them had red and bright eyes and looked at each other in silence.

Jing Tian picked up the loud speaker but did not shout "pass" or "click".

He ran to Liu Yifei with a grunt and nodded.

The two heads came together and said in unison:

"'Those Years' has officially wrapped up!"

　Once again: this is just fiction!
　　This is a very forced logical loop that does not exist in reality at all.

　　There is no way a fairy could have such acting skills! Impossible, absolutely impossible!
