Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

Chapter 82: Clearly and unmistakably a scumbag.

The next day, after having breakfast, Xu Ying arrived at the film set early to get her makeup done.

After learning from Qiu Cixuan that Xu Ying could speak Korean, Lin Tianyi excitedly approached him.

"Xu Ying, I heard from Qiu Cixuan that you speak Korean?"

"Yes."

"Do you speak Cantonese?"

"Very good, very good."

Lin Tianyi was very happy. One of the two female leads was from South Korea, and the other came from Hong Kong. Neither of them spoke Mandarin well.

The biggest problem during filming was communication, and it was a pleasant surprise that Xu Ying could speak both languages.

Today, we didn't film the scene of Hong Shixian and Lin Pinru's wedding; we went straight to filming the scene five years later.

"The Temptation to Go Home" is a female-centric drama. The male lead has a lot of screen time, but he mainly acts as a catalyst for Lin Pinru's transformation.

......

In the sweltering and humid August heat of Shanghai, the crew of "The Temptation to Go Home" quietly began filming.

On set, Xu Ying, who plays Hong Shixian, is wearing pajamas and looks somewhat irritable.

"Cut! Shi Xian is fine emotionally. Pin Ru, don't be overly enthusiastic. Be more considerate, a good wife and mother," Lin Tianyi said through a megaphone. "Hong Shi Xian, please explain."

After listening to Xu Ying's explanation, Qiu Cixuan nodded, "I understand, Director."

Soon, the morning's scenes were finished.

Hong Shixian and Lin Pinru's daily life after five years of marriage is as bland as water, with a hidden weariness.

At this time, Ellie also returned from abroad, like a huge rock crashing into the surface of Hong Shixian's heart.

Choo Ja-hyun sat on the chair next to him, holding the script and muttering to herself.

"Oppa, in this line, 'You seem to be avoiding me lately,' is the tone more one of disappointment or accusation?" Choo Ja-hyun pointed to a line in the script and looked up to ask Heo Eung.

Xu Ying leaned over to take a look and explained in Korean, "Lin Pinru has already noticed Hong Shixian's indifference and perfunctory attitude, but she still holds onto hope, so her tone should be cautiously probing, with a hint of grievance, rather than a direct interrogation."

Qiu Cixuan suddenly realized what was going on and quickly wrote it down next to the script.

Just then, the assistant director came over to inform us that the afternoon's filming would begin with Hong Shixian and Ellie's affair scene, as well as Pinru's scenes.

Xu Ying nodded, thinking to himself that this plot was really melodramatic.

Li Caihua, already made up, walked over. She wore a tight-fitting dress, her makeup was exquisite, and her eyes held a deliberately created charm and provocation.

She walked up to Xu Ying, glanced at Qiu Cixuan who was still engrossed in taking notes, and spoke softly in Cantonese, "Mr. Xu, please give me your guidance later."

Xu Ying smiled and replied in Cantonese, "Miss Li, you're too kind. Let's learn from each other."

Li Caihua was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Xu Ying to speak Cantonese so fluently. Her expression softened slightly, but she quickly regained her aloof demeanor and turned to prepare.

The afternoon shoot took place in a studio decorated like a luxury apartment.

"Scene 27, Shot 1 of 'The Temptation to Go Home,' action!"

Lin Pinru went to catch Hong Shixian cheating, and Ellie led her to the room. Pinru immediately saw Hong Shixian's suit jacket on the bed.

Ellie glanced at Lin Pinru and said to the cabinet, "Shixian, what are you still hiding from? Tell Pinru frankly how much you love me."

Lin Pinru still looked incredulous as she stared at the wardrobe and then suddenly opened the door.

It was inside that Hong Shixian, played by Xu Ying, was hiding.

Lin Pinru covered her mouth in shock.

Hong Shixian looked guilty. "Pinru, I'm sorry."

"Pinru".

Ellie crossed her arms. "What else is there to say? This was bound to happen sooner or later. Isn't it better to make things clear sooner rather than later? Anyway, this day was bound to come eventually."

Hong Shixian pointed at Ellie and yelled, "Shut up!"

He turned to look at Lin Pinru, "Wife, let me explain, please listen to me."

"Come here." Ellie walked over and pulled him over.

"What are you doing!" Hong Shixian shoved him away.

"By the way, Pinru, let me introduce you. This is the boyfriend I told you about before." As she spoke, Ellie leaned her head against Hong Shixian.

"Who's your boyfriend? Are you crazy?!" Hong Shixian shoved Ellie away again.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Pinru slapped Ellie across the face.

Ellie's eyes widened. "You dare hit me! You dare hit me!"

As she spoke, Ellie raised her hand to strike Lin Pinru, but Hong Shixian grabbed her hand the instant she made the move.

Hong Shixian said coldly, "Try touching her! She's my wife, are you crazy?"

After saying that, he threw Ellie onto the bed again.

Hong Shixian pointed at Lin Pinru, then looked at Ellie, "Try touching her! Let me tell you, Ellie, listen carefully, my feelings for you are just for show, I have no feelings for you."

"Wife, listen to me. She seduced me. I had been drinking, so I was momentarily confused and infatuated."

"I just made every mistake that men can make."

"Cut! That's a wrap! Absolutely perfect. The three actors worked so hard; their emotions were spot on," Lin Tianyi said excitedly.

This scene was revised several times, all because of that slap issue.

Choo Ja-hyun felt that they should really fight at this point, including when Ellie fought Pin-ru later, so that they could better unleash their emotions.

Lin Tianyi agreed after hearing this, and Li Caihua also agreed, feeling that it would make the play more dramatic.

Xu Ying didn't care; he was having a lot of fun acting anyway.

I couldn't help but laugh several times while reciting my lines.

Hong Shixian is truly a scumbag in every way.

Lei Jiayin squatted to one side, somewhat bewildered. This script was damn melodramatic.

He was caught cheating and yet he still acted so self-righteously.

Xu Ying seems to be playing himself, not wanting to act.

As luck would have it, at that moment, Chi Shuai chimed in, "He really doesn't seem to be acting; he looks like a total jerk!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Jiayin's eyes lit up, as if she had found a kindred spirit.

"You think so too?"

"Yeah, you can tell he's probably messing around in private. It's best to stay away from people like that," Chi Shuai suggested.

"No way, are you crazy?!" Lei Jiayin got angry when she heard Pei Chishuai say that about her good brother.

They didn't make any personal attacks, so what gives you the right to say that, Mr. Chi?

"Stay away from me, or I'll smack you!"

Chi Shuai looked completely bewildered. Wasn't it you who started the criticism?

Why can't I say it?

......

After Xu Ying came downstairs, he saw Lei Jiayin looking furious. "What's wrong? You want to beat me up because you saw me betray your sister?"

"You know what, I actually kind of want to," Lei Jiayin said with a smile. "I do have a scene where I hit you later on, and I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it."

"Haha, okay, what's wrong with that guy?" Xu Ying pointed at Chi Shuai, who looked sullen.

"Ignore him, this guy's got something wrong with his head. He actually accused you of messing around in private, and I said a few words to him about it." Lei Jiayin waved her hand.

"Thank you, Brother Lei."

"You're welcome. Are you going online again tonight? I promise this is the last time."
