Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin shrugged: "We weren't lying to you, were we? Neither of us can get in touch with him."

Zhou Yang punched Luo Jin: "Aren't you two going to try to persuade him? Are you really going to let him become a monk? What if he doesn't come back after filming is finished?"

Luo Jin rolled his eyes: "Persuade? Do you think you can stop them? They'll be gone in a flash."

Miss Liu looked strange, feeling that Xie Jin was a rather odd person; the way he looked at her on the first day of school was rather peculiar.

Forget about weirdos.

Miss Liu pulled out several boxes of imported chocolates: "Yangyang, I brought you all gifts, one box each. I'm going to be filming again soon, so please have Luo Jin pass on Xie Jin's gift."

Luo Jin patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, we'll eat the chocolate for him. Just give him the wrapper."

········

········

The filming time flew by.

Fortunately, the teacher didn't give me the machine right away, but gave me half a month to prepare for the preliminary work.

Thanks to the well-prepared contingency plan, the Panna camera was used very efficiently, and its performance exceeded Ning Hao's expectations.

In terms of cinematic language, Ning Hao, with his background in photography, is absolutely terrifyingly strong, far surpassing Director Jia and Colonel Lu.

"See that? When you're three-quarters of the way down, the light just brushes past your cheek. After applying a softbox and adjusting the amount of light, doesn't that effect come instantly?"

"Remember the contrast between morning and evening glow: the light in the morning is harsh, while the light in the afternoon is soft."

Xie Jin nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "That's fucking awesome!"

"Can't you use some culture? Besides 'fuck' and 'awesome,' can't you come up with any other adjectives?"

"My senior is incredibly awesome..."

Although Senior Brother Ning is a beast in some ways, he is also a really good person.

Perhaps out of gratitude for Xie Jin's unwavering investment during the most difficult time, Ning Hao poured every last drop of profit into his stomach.

Even if Xie Jin didn't earn a single cent, he felt it was worth it.

..........

Xie Jin was confined in the temple and lived a life of asceticism.

After turning it on, Ning Hao immediately hung Xie Jin's phone around his neck, saying that he would return the phone to him whenever filming wrapped up.

It's like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey's eyes...

The desire to call the beautiful girl back was repeatedly torn between his Buddhist-like nature and his desire to return her call.

This perfectly matches the mindset of the character played by Xie Jin.

The actors mostly played their main roles, with Xie Jin's scenes accounting for over 80% of the entire film, and the rest being supporting characters.

These past few days, under Ning Hao's torment, Xie Jin felt that her acting skills had improved by leaps and bounds.

They filmed Ning Hao while teaching him, giving it a VIP customized service feel to it.

..........

The last shot was finally filmed. The pre-production preparation took more than half a month, and the actual filming took nineteen days.

"Alright, here's your phone back. I'm canceling the wrap party."

Xie Jin was taken aback: "What happened? Why was the wrap party canceled?"

"It's that abbot again. I originally thought the old man was greedy, but who knew he donated all the 1,500 I gave him to the orphanage. My brothers and I discussed it and decided to donate the money for our wrap party to him too."

"That's great! Then, senior brother, shall we meet in the capital?"

Ning Hao was extremely exhausted, but he couldn't help but smile. "See you at school. When I get back, I'll get that editing station from Germany out there."

"I'll guide you through the editing process, going through the whole workflow. I'm thinking of editing it quickly, and after it's approved, I'll have the department send it to Berlin."

Xie Jin stretched, feeling a sense of déjà vu as the sunlight shone on her. Her first real-life movie had already ended...

·······

·······

The green train back to Beijing was truly amazing. Xie Jin's legs were weak when she got off the train. She had two big bags of Shanxi specialties in her hands, and she just sat on the bus and carried them all the way back to school.

Standing at the school gate, Xie Jin dialed her godsons' phone numbers.

"Sons! Daddy's home!"

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were chatting in the dormitory when they suddenly ran to the door.

In the bustling campus, many students were surprised to see Xie Jin. This boy was quite handsome, but why was he a monk with several dots on his head?

The two adopted sons saw Xie Jin from afar.

"Holy crap, you've really become a monk?"

The two rushed up and repeatedly touched Xie Jin's bald head: "You really have ordination scars?"

"Don't touch it! The tattoo will fade in a few days. And help Dad carry his things."

Seeing the imperial relief grain arrive, the two adopted sons were as happy as monkeys: "We've run out of living expenses. If you hadn't come, we would have been eating dirt."

Lying on his dorm bed, Luo Jin asked curiously, "How was it? How was your first time acting in a movie?"

"I'm exhausted, so exhausted. They even confiscated my phone and isolated me from the world."

"But it's pretty cool. Senior Brother Ning is incredibly capable. I feel like my acting skills have improved by more than two years of schooling."

Zhu Yawen's eyebrows drooped: "You're one of the few people in our department who's acting in movies, when are we going to get to act together?"

"What's the rush? You two are definitely signed with big companies and won't lack acting opportunities. My role can't even be shown in theaters, so it doesn't count."

While eating a fried dough twist, Luo Jin suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a box of chocolates from the cabinet and handed it to Xie Jin.

"What's going on? You two struck it rich and are sending me chocolates? Trying to make it a couple? Don't be so lewd!"

"Bullshit, this is from Sisi for everyone, one box for each person. We finished our two boxes, but we almost couldn't resist yours."

Xie Jin held the chocolate, feeling troubled, as she hadn't yet returned Liu's call.

Playing feels a bit forced, but not playing leaves me wanting more...

Luo Jin noticed that Xie Jin was acting strangely and leaned closer with a wicked grin.

"Don't you want to try some? Are you sure you can handle this? A fifteen-year-old girl's chocolate has you got all excited about it?"

Xie Jin blushed, reluctant to eat, and stubbornly continued to boast.

"Try it my ass! I'm saving it to tell my son later that his mother gave it to me."

Zhu Yawen spat out a mouthful of Shanxi-style fried dough twists and rolled around on the bed laughing.

"His wife? You're something else! Everyone else in the school only dares to dream about it, but you're the only one who actually dares to say it. You lecherous monk!"

Xie Jin blushed and coughed. "That's because you guys are cowards. You don't even dare to think about it. How can there be any chance?"

Luo Jin leaned in again, grinning mischievously, "Honey, I heard that Qianqian finished filming in Yunnan and is now moving on to Shidu. You're so brave... how about the three of us go visit the set?"

Xie Jin's eyes darted around. "Well... it's not impossible. Shidu is quite fun... I mainly want to go for a stroll in Shidu."

Zhu Yawen stretched and said, "I'll contact them! Let's go!"

······

······

The bus swayed and rocked as the three of them, carrying their student IDs, arrived at the filming location of "Ten Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

The stagehand at the door raised his hand to stop the three of them. "Hey guys, you can't come in. They're filming inside."

"Big brother, we're students here to study," Zhu Yawen said shamelessly, stuffing half a pack of cigarettes into his hand and handing over his student ID.

Students from Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Communication University of China are generally allowed to study outside the film set.

"Okay, okay, go in. Don't cause trouble, don't disturb their filming."

"Don't worry, big brother."

Crouching in the corner, the three watched the actors in the distance.

Zhu Yawen squinted and said, "Hehehe, the heartthrob has a really nice figure."

Indeed, Chen Hao was incredibly popular at that time. With her role as the charming and popular woman in "Pink Lady," her popularity exploded, making her one of the most popular idol drama actresses in China.

"Xiao Feng! Xiao Feng is here! Hu Jun is really strong. Did you two see his Lan Yu? He and Liu Ye are so exciting!"

Xie Jin thought to herself, "Don't laugh at him. Your acting as Huang Xuan's rival is quite exciting too."

Fans who randomly ship couples wish Zhou Xun would step aside and let Huang Xuan have eight children for them...

Just as the three were chatting, Duan Yu appeared in the distance. Lin Zhiying was in his prime, having been famous for ten years since 1992...

Xie Jin glanced at Duan Yu and asked a question about death.

"I'm asking you two, who's more handsome, Lin Zhiying or me?"

Zhu Yawen rubbed her nose, her eyes darting around. "You...you...after all, Lin Zhiying has never brought me anything delicious..."

Luo Jin looked down, playing with ants, his voice even weaker: "Lin Zhiying isn't as tall as you, I... I still think you're handsome."

"Hey! You three, stop squatting there and come over here!"

A delicate shout rang out from afar, its clear and melodious sound like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

Liu Yifei, dressed in a white dress, waved and ran over, her smile radiant as the breeze blew her skirt.

Fifteen-year-old Sister Liu is no different from a nuclear weapon. Xie Jin was stunned for three seconds.

Luo Jin patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, honey..."
