I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 98 Something more important than preparing for the college entrance examination!

May 2010, 5 was the day when the filming of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" was completed.

"Are you Jingqiu?"

"I am Sun Jianxin's father!"

"I know my son is waiting for you!"

"Would you like to say goodbye to him?"

Zhu Yanmanzi had tears in her eyes and a pale face, looking in disbelief as she looked at the haggard and gloomy-faced man lying on the bed.

She swayed, and the person next to her quickly held her up.

Once upon a time, the two of them swam happily and walked on the mountain road late at night telling ghost stories.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yanmanzi's whole body began to tremble, and his fingers turned white from being pinched.

She couldn't believe what she saw.

Fluttering——

She dragged herself step by step to the bedside. At this moment, she could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed out of her eyes like a dam bursting.

"Ugh!"

Zhu Yanmanzi burst into tears and knelt down in front of Chen Jin with weak knees.

She groped Chen Jin's hand, touched it again and again, and put that hand on her face.

Tears stained her arms, dripped onto the bed and clothes, and the person behind her sobbed, "Girl, shout quickly, shout his name!"

"If you don't shout...it will be too late!"

Zhu Yanmanzi just kept crying and her whole body was twitching.

Zhang Yimou, who was watching in front of the monitor, felt that this girl might faint at any time. This... this acting was too realistic.

It seemed that all of Zhu Yanmanzi's emotions were completely destroyed at this moment.

I was no longer thinking about how to act, my mind was blank and all my actions were subconscious.

Even the whimpering sound from the throat, where one cannot speak, is quite real.

When people are extremely sad, they sometimes do lose their voice.

"Come on, girl, call him the way you normally would!"

"He can still hear!"

The people around were amazed by Zhu Yanmanzi's performance and all started crying.

Zhang Yimou's eyes also turned red.

As for Zhu Yanmanzi's mother, she was completely in tears.

"I'm Jingqiu!"

Zhu Yanmanzi seemed to come back to his senses and called out softly.

This sound was not a big deal. It was as if all her emotions suddenly came out at that moment, and she shouted hysterically over and over again: "Jingqiu, I am Jingqiu!"

"Wake up, I'm Jingqiu!!"

"Didn't you promise me that you would come back when you heard my name?"

Jingqiu lay on Chen Jin's body, shouting over and over again. Suddenly, a tear flowed from the corner of Chen Jin's eye.

His hand moved slightly and his eyeballs trembled. Zhu Yanmanzi felt it. She looked at Chen Jin suddenly and then raised her head.

On the white ceiling, there was a photo of her and Chen Jin hanging.

That was the only photo of the two of them taken in the photo studio.

"I am Jingqiu..."

"I'm Jingqiu!"

Zhu Yanmanzi repeated this sentence over and over again, muttering, her entire face completely wet with tears.

No one in the entire crew spoke at this time, and many people were wiping their tears.

This part of the story has ended here.

"Director Zhang?"

Guo Xun glanced at Zhang Yimou, who had been staring at the monitor. Zhang Yimou finally came to his senses and said, "Ah?"

He wiped his eyes, picked up the intercom and shouted, "Finish!"

"It's done!"

Zhu Yanmanzi suddenly pounced on Chen Jin and burst into tears.

Chen Jin, who was about to get up, was frightened by her performance and could only comfort her: "Okay, okay, I'm not dead!"

But Zhu Yanmanzi couldn't stop crying, and her face turned frighteningly pale.

"Slowly, slowly!"

"It's alright!"

Chen Jin felt a little softened by her crying and slowly stroked her back.

Zhu Yanmanzi felt too deeply involved in the last part of the play.

It took a long time for him to recover from the death of the third brother.

More than 10 minutes later, Chen Jin looked at Zhu Yanmanzi who seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed, and whispered to Zhu Yanmanzi's mother who was worried beside her: "He fell asleep, it seems he cried himself to sleep!"

"Well, if you cry enough, you will fall asleep!"

"Then let her sleep for a while!"

"That scene just now was shot so well!"

It’s even better than the kiss scene we reshot a few days ago.

Even Zhu Yanmanzi's mother, who doesn't understand acting, can see it, and everyone else can see it even more.

Chen Jin thinks so too.

During the more than one month of filming, Zhu Yanmanzi's acting has improved a lot, especially in the scenes with him. There are some intimate scenes where it is hard to distinguish between the character and reality, and she managed to capture the feeling that Zhang Yimou wanted.

"Then I'll help her to sleep on the bed!"

Just as Chen Jin was about to get up, Zhu Yanmanzi suddenly woke up.

With messy hair, a pale face and traces of tears, he suddenly hugged Chen Jin tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go for a moment.

This caught Chen Jin off guard.

"Alright, alright, we were just filming!"

Chen Jin had no choice but to continue comforting her, looking at Zhu Yanmanzi's mother with some embarrassment.

Yan Ning smiled and touched her daughter's hair: "Okay, Zizi, come down, the scene is finished!"

After 5 seconds, Zhu Yanmanzi reluctantly let go of Chen Jin.

The whole person has a very broken beauty.

Very artistic.

"Thank you, can you take a picture for me?"

Chen Jin suddenly grabbed Zhu Yanmanzi and spoke to the photographer who was packing up his equipment.

Photographer Xie Ze raised his head and knew what Chen Jin was going to shoot at a glance.

He quickly picked up the camera in his hand and zoomed in.

Click!

A very artistic portrait photo, captured very well by the photographer. "Thank you, brother Xie!"

"polite!"

Chen Jin then stood up and went to remove her makeup with Zhu Yanmanzi.

Finished.

"Under the Hawthorn Tree" was successfully wrapped up in less than a month and a half; this was also because a lot of reshoots were done, otherwise it would have been finished a few days earlier.

In fact, even Zhang Yimou himself did not expect that the filming would be so fast.

The main reason was that Chen Jin exceeded his expectations, and Zhu Yanmanzi also became more and more involved in the later stages.

The sex scene, which Zhang Yimou thought was the most difficult, was actually shot in one take.

The two of them also took the photo with great feeling, the kind of feeling of knowing when to stop and being very restrained, like a girl who is ready but a little nervous to taste the forbidden fruit.

Every day when Zhang Yimou was editing, he would actually watch it over and over again several times.

Many are reluctant to cut.

It really achieved the effect he wanted in his heart, and even went a little beyond that.

The two new actors he chose this time are indeed very talented, especially Chen Jin.

"In The Flowers of War, he can indeed be given a role!"

Zhang Yimou was watching there, watching Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi come out after removing their makeup, and smiled: "At the wrap-up party tonight, your mother told Xiao Pu that you have to go back to take the college entrance examination, right?"

Zhu Yanmanzi also looked at Chen Jin.

When she was filming this scene today, she actually thought about separating from Chen Jin immediately at the end, so she was reluctant to leave.

This kind of emotion also led to her loss of composure just now.

"Yes, my mom asked me to go back to cram school!"

"Hahaha!"

When Zhang Yimou heard that Chen Jin was tutoring, the image made him want to laugh.

"Director Zhang, do you have any way to convince my mother——"

"no!"

Zhang Yimou interrupted with a smile: "The college entrance examination is a big deal, do your best, or you won't even reach the undergraduate entrance line for the art exam!"

"I heard that the scores in Jiangsu's art exam are also quite high?"

"It's not that high, but it's difficult to pass because the total score is only 480..."

Chen Jin was about to explain, but then he thought, why should he explain all this to him, as he is a top student now!

"Director Zhang, I have confidence in the college entrance examination..."

"Okay, go find Xiao Pu!"

How could Zhang Yimou not understand what Chen Jin meant? This kid just didn't want to go back, but he couldn't interfere in this matter. What if he didn't do well in the college entrance examination? Wouldn't his parents blame him? !
……

"You don't want to go back?"

Zhu Yanmanzi asked Chen Jin in a low voice.

Zhang Yimou's path was blocked, so he could only find another way.

Zhu Yanmanzi was quite happy. If Chen Jin was in the imperial capital, could they review together?
This young lady has a beautiful idea.

"Well, who's willing to take tutoring classes? Do you think my ability requires me to take tutoring classes?"

"That's indeed not necessary!"

Zhu Yanmanzi could see Chen Jin's strength these days, not only in his body and mind, but also in his actions.

No blind spots in all aspects.

At least that's what Zhu Yanmanzi feels in her heart.

Whether it's voice, stage performance, self-discipline, figure, physical fitness, study, or ojbk, she's amazing.

Anyway, among all the peers Zhu Yanmanzi knows, Chen Jin is definitely the best one.

none of them.

"So, I want to stay in the capital, prepare a new film with Lao Guo, and improve my acting skills!"

"Of course the most important thing is that I can see you often!"

After saying this, Zhu Yanmanzi was obviously conquered.

Who can resist the sweet words of a boyfriend in the passionate love period? Zhu Yanmanzi took Chen Jin's hand and said with a sweet smile: "Then stay, let's go to the cram school together?"

Fuck you!

I stayed in the capital because I didn't want to go to cram school.

"Ziz?"

At this time, Zhu Yanmanzi's mother came over and looked at the two holding hands with a strange expression.

Zhu Yanmanzi quickly put it down.

Before Chen Jin could react, Zhu Yanmanzi stood beside her mother with a well-behaved look on her face.

This is pretending... Chen Jin understood instantly.

Damn, the limited-time couple experience card is over, and the next step is the difficult mode!
The future mother-in-law could tolerate the two of them holding hands before, because it was necessary for the filming; but now the filming has been completed, and the two of them are still holding hands, how could Yan Ning not be suspicious?
"Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm used to it..."

Chen Jin hurriedly explained, but Yan Ning was very gentle: "Zizi is still young, now is not the time to have a boyfriend!"

"Ok?"

Chen Jin, can I understand that if you reach the age, you will agree?

Zhu Yanmanzi winked at Chen Jin and showed a refreshing smile.

Moreover, she was standing behind Yan Ning, so Yan Ning couldn't see her expression. She opened her mouth and made lip movements, clearly saying, "We did it secretly!"

Okay, so exciting?

"Chen Jin!"

The sudden shout made the three of them turn their heads.

Pu Lun came over in a hurry, smiled at Yan Ning, said hello to Zhu Yanmanzi, and then pulled Chen Jin aside: "Dean Zhang just called me, the audition for "The Founding of a Party" is about to begin!"

"Oh?"

Chen Jin's expression changed.

"You should prepare well these few days and read relevant materials and books. I don't know what the audition process is, but you must understand this history and the characters. Do you hear me?"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Jin suddenly laughed happily.

Pu Lun was confused: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, Sister Pu Lun, you are indeed the best agent in the world!"

Chen Jin wanted to go up to her, hug her and give her a big kiss.

This timely rain came too timely.

Just now Chen Jin was still looking for an excuse not to go back to the training class, and now it’s here, isn’t it?
If there is anything else that can make her mother Su Wanyu feel more important than the college entrance examination.

Then, we should shoot a film like this, which will be lost forever.

"The Founding of a Party"!
A 90th anniversary tribute film.

If he wants to play an important role that will go down in history, then there must be smoke coming out of the Chen family’s ancestral grave... right?
