Chapter 186 Youth Without Pain (3k)
……

……

"Little brother, would you like to elaborate on Xu Yi's despair after discovering that Li Er had no feelings for him?"

"Falling into the abyss again?"

"No, can we please not include the element of infidelity?"

Gu Qing was very straightforward: "Leave a letter, return the money I borrowed from Li Er, and then leave alone to find a new life."

"But then it doesn't hurt anymore..."

Rao Xueman said with difficulty.

“Teacher Xueman, youth is not necessarily painful. Not all students will experience abortion, car accident, or infidelity.”

"Audiences have seen too many youth films of this genre, so we can make some appropriate changes."

"The beginning was already heartbreaking enough, so please give me a happy ending."

Gu Qing practically said it outright.

"Little brother, no problem, we'll do it your way."

Su Youpeng understood and immediately adopted Gu Qing's suggestion.

Gu Qing usually saves him a lot of trouble when acting.

This money was absolutely well spent.

Imagine having a hot woman sit on Gu Qing's lap while filming a scene of him having an affair.

For celebrities who project a "younger brother" image, fans often find it difficult to accept.

"Okay, that can be changed."

Rao Xueman nodded in acceptance.

As a woman, she was still gratified to see Gu Qing's unwillingness to hurt Li Er.

Almost all authors will include their own characters in their creations.
They treat each other like their own sons and daughters.

"Little brother, I'll be filming your last scenes tomorrow, and I'll try my best not to affect your subsequent work."

After filming for almost a month, Su Youpeng finally started to look like a director.

He felt embarrassed to keep Gu Qing stuck on the film set all the time, affecting her work.

"Thanks, Brother Youpeng."

Gu Qing was naturally very happy. "I'm not going to do anything, so I'll go back and work on the last day's scenes."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Watching Gu Qing leave.

Su Youpeng sighed, "What are we going to do next?"

Gu Qingke was his only sanctuary when he was on the verge of a breakdown while filming.

Whenever he was in despair,
Filming Gu Qing's scenes always brought me a sense of joy from the inside out.

"Director Youpeng, these kids acted quite well too."

Rao Xueman smiled and comforted her.

"The acting was good, but it depends on who you compare it to."

"You've shown me the sun, how can I face the darkness now?"

Su Youpeng composed a refined sentence, sighed, and returned to sit down on the monitor.

Ma Sichun and Chen Duling had a heart-to-heart talk on the beach.

This one segment alone took two hours to film.

Su Youpeng's blood pressure continued to rise.

After that,

The scene where Ou Hao and Ma Sichun jump into the sea is just for location shooting; they will film it at a swimming pool later.

Two more hours passed, and it was already dark.

"knock off."

Su Youpeng sniffed and felt a slight chill.

"Little Ear, your scenes with Xu Yi have been changed."

He called Chen Duling over and explained, "If there's anything you don't understand, go ask your brother. Tomorrow is your last day of filming."

Chen Duling nodded silently, somewhat absentmindedly.

During dinner in the evening,
Gu Qing's brand-new Business Star RV welcomed three female lead visitors.

"Wow, brother, your car is so cool! The black style is so stylish."

"It's so comfortable lying down. Can the chair in the back be folded into a bed?"

"What would you like to drink? Do you have... juice? I'd like juice."

As soon as she got into the car, Guan Xiaotong became lively and active, her little mouth chattering like a machine gun, her tone as obedient as could be, and she even refused to drink her favorite wine.

A month of life on the film set,
She had already fallen for Xu Yi's charm.

As for Li Yifeng?
Is it strange that a honeybee lingers among the flowers?

The lively atmosphere at the dinner table belonged to Guan Xiaotong and Ma Sichun. Both of them had cheerful personalities and chattered around Gu Qing, talking non-stop.

Chen Duling tried to ask about the script several times, but Guan Xiaotong interrupted her with a new topic she was very interested in.

A suitable gap could not be found.

After eating,
Along the way back to the hotel,

Chen Duling stopped and decided to go back.

What a coincidence,

Ma Sichun also stopped at the same time.

What are you two trying to do?

Guan Xiaotong asked blankly.

"Little Ears, is something wrong?"

Ma Sichun awkwardly changed the subject.

"Yes, Director Youpeng asked me to ask Xu Yi about the script revisions he did today. I forgot to ask him during dinner."

Chen Duling stood still and explained, "What about you, Bala?"

"I...I'm fine."

Ma Sichun was taken aback and quickly shook his head.

Watching Ma Sichun push Guan Xiaotong and quickly disappear into the night.

Chen Duling frowned slightly, her delicate brows furrowed in surprise and confusion. "How come you're all fine all of a sudden?"

"Bala, do you also want to go find Xu Yi?" "Probably... impossible."

Thinking about what happened this morning, she shook her head, trying to shake off the bad thoughts.

Get out of the car,

Just then, they encountered Zhao Ya, the assistant, who was getting out of the car carrying an empty plate and a beverage bottle.

"Huh? Little ears?"

Zhao Ya was somewhat surprised to see Chen Duling. "What are you doing here? Are you here to see the boss?" she asked with a friendly smile.

“Yes,” Chen Duling nodded, her voice as gentle as ever, “Director Youpeng asked me to find Xu Yi and ask about the changes to tomorrow’s filming.”

"Oh, that's how it is."

Zhao Ya nodded knowingly and stepped aside. "The boss is in the car. He's probably reading a script or resting. Let's get in."

She greeted him naturally.

Chen Duling glanced at the car door with some hesitation.

Zhao Ya smiled understandingly, showing no intention of following, but instead stood by the car door and called out loudly, "Boss, Little Ears is looking for you!"

The RV door was quickly pulled open from the inside.

Seeing Chen Duling under the car,

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Qing's eyes: "Little Ears, is something the matter?" He stepped aside, "Come on up."

Chen Duling took a deep breath and stepped onto the car.

Gu Qing opened the car door. "Sister Xiaoya, please wait at the door for a moment."

"Good boss."

Zhao Ya understood.

The carriage was very clean and filled with a faint woody aroma.

Gu Qing gestured for Chen Duling to sit down in the comfortable chair, while he sat opposite her.

"what happened?"

Gu Qing looked at her, her tone gentle and questioning.

"Xu Yi, I don't quite understand tomorrow's play."

Chen Duling couldn't help but glance at Gu Qing's lips; they seemed to be less swollen now…

Her eyes were lowered, and she lacked confidence. "Regarding the changes to our scene tomorrow... how exactly should we perform it?"
How should I process my emotions after seeing the empty room and the letter? It's definitely different from seeing that scene in the original script, right?

She carefully chose her words, avoiding directly uttering the word "cheating," her fair cheeks flushing slightly under the soft light.

"Little Ear, I feel a little bad for suddenly changing the script."

Gu Qing said apologetically, then leaned forward slightly and earnestly helped to dismantle the scene: "The result of the discussion between the director and me is that the intimate scenes of 'Xu Yi' cheating have been removed from the plot."

When you push open the door, you don't see a chaotic scene, but a completely empty room.

Xu Yi left, leaving only a letter and the money he returned. The focus is on showing Li Er's 'emptiness' at that moment—

A profound sense of loss, abandonment, and the desolation of discovering that all my efforts and waiting have ultimately amounted to nothing.

He paused, observing Chen Duling's expression, and continued, "You don't need to act out the shock and anger of being betrayed, but rather a kind of... bewilderment, emptiness."
Because in the drama, you eventually realize that you don't actually love Xu Yi.

"No, it was after you left that Li Er fell in love with Zhang Yang."

Chen Duling shook her head vigorously.

As a science student, what she values ​​most is behavioral logic.

Li Er falls in love with Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang falls in love with Li Er.
This is the most illogical part.

"Little Ear, you misunderstood the script. It says that the person you love is Zhang Yang."

Gu Qing said helplessly, "Otherwise, why did Li Er dodge when Xu Yi kissed her, and why did she dodge twice in a row?"

"Perhaps it's... shyness."

Chen Duling identified with Li Er herself.

Having been called "Little Ear" for so long, she sometimes subconsciously can't tell who she really is.

Gu Qing: "..."

Are we not on the same wavelength?
“It’s not shyness. Li Er’s feelings for Xu Yi are like a sense of redemption that rises from within her.”

Gu Qing said gently, "When you're acting, you can add more detailed movements."
For example, the trembling of the fingertips when picking up the letter, the dimming of the eyes as the contents are read—these subtle facial expressions and body language convey pain far more effectively than loud crying or shouting.

"Understand?"

"..."

Chen Duling stared blankly at her.

Gu Qing scratched his head.

The eye acting seems a bit beyond what's expected.

"If all else fails, just act according to your own ideas tomorrow, do whatever you want."

Gu Qing encouraged him, "Don't worry about getting scolded for NG, I'll talk to Youpeng for you."

"Can I really act according to my own ideas?"

Chen Duling's eyes shone slightly, carrying a different kind of light.

"Of course, I'll back you up."

Gu Qing smiled and nodded. "Any other questions?"

"Nothing."

Chen Du hurriedly stood up, but as she walked to the door, she couldn't help but turn back and ask, "Xu Yi, do you think Xu Yi loves Li Er later on?"

"I…"

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, "I think Xu Yi loves Li Er."

The script doesn't elaborate much on this, but it subtly suggests that Xu Yi needs a pillar of support and psychological comfort.

But isn't support and emotional comfort precisely what your partner provides?
If in a desperate situation

You meet a girl who is willing to help you pay off your debts, clean your house, do chores, and even come to rescue you.

How is this any different from the Snail Maiden in fairy tales?
"See, we actually have the same understanding."

Chen Duling smiled happily, her pretty face even brightening the moonlight.

"Take care, little ears," Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"Goodbye sister."

Chen Duling walked briskly towards her dormitory, enjoying the cool night breeze.
