I want to have a normal campus romance

This is not just nice talk, but I really wanted to shoot more scenes. Although I don't know what happened in the middle, the 50,000 yuan pay is real.

You know, even if you are a student from Shanghai Theatre Academy or Beijing Film Academy, you may not be able to get so much pay, not to mention that I studied marketing, a major that... has almost nothing to do with film and television.

“Eh…eh?!”

"what happened?"

"No no no... No, nothing."

But after Xia Xiaoyao heard what I said, her face turned red, and she looked a little embarrassed, and her voice trembled slightly, which made me feel a little confused.

Doesn't Xia Xiaoyao look like she's acting? There's no reason... She's usually very serious when filming. When shooting the cover before, even if Director Yang thought it was fine, Xia Xiaoyao would feel that her condition was not good enough, and even took the initiative to ask for another shot.

And I just heard from the crew that Xia Xiaoyao often comes to the set to check out the location. She is much better than someone like me who only came to the set once. There is no way she would be lazy.

I was thinking about this with some confusion while flipping through the script that Xia Xiaoyao handed to me. However, after just flipping through a few pages, I felt some sweat on my head. At the same time, I also knew why Xia Xiaoyao had that expression just now.

Because this revised script can be read as a guide for showing affection. Even a veteran like me who has been in the business for many years, after reading this script...my heart beats a few more times.

Things like hugging each other or gazing deeply are considered child's play here. It can be said that except for the kissing scenes, most of the love scenes that can be filmed in China have been crammed into the script.

Damn...what kind of script is this!

Are you sure Director Yang is not the director who came out to find a job after the collapse of Douban Media? This is too good!

Seeing this, I immediately swallowed my saliva, then embarrassedly put the script aside, intending to take back what I just said, but as I was speaking, Xia Xiaoyao actually spoke:

"Uh, how about forgetting it?"

“Come…come on!”

Ok?

No, no...wait a minute...

Did I hear that correctly?!

I turned around in surprise, and when Xia Xiaoyao saw me looking at her, she seemed startled and subconsciously looked away. However, she quickly came to her senses, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked at me with forced calmness, staring at me with a lack of confidence.

"Are...are you sure?"

"This...wasn't this what you brought up first?"

After hearing what I said, Xia Xiaoyao blushed a little, and I felt like I was in a dilemma. If I had known the content of the script was like this, I would never have brought up such a thing.

"Are you coming...or not?"

Xia Xiaoyao said this and slowly stood up from the chair, looking as if she was ready to go all out.

Although I know this is my illusion, the momentum of her saying this always makes me imagine that she is posing as a "big" and then lying on her back on the bed, as if she can let me do whatever I want...

Cough cough cough, what on earth was I thinking, this is all for... for art!

Yes, I am devoting myself to art!

I thought so and slowly stretched out my hand.

PS: Three updates today!

Chapter 129 Signal

To be honest, I did shoot quite a few micro-films when I was in school, but those so-called films were basically shot with Fatty and his friends. But it was my first time to act opposite a girl...especially a beautiful girl like Xia Xiaoyao.

Not to mention the love scenes. Although it was a MV, we didn't have to say cheesy love words to each other, but in some sense, the silent atmosphere made us more nervous towards each other.

So, I slowly stretched out my hand amidst hesitation and entanglement, and just as the script said, I slowly put my arm around Xia Xiaoyao's slender waist and held her in my arms.

It seemed that my movements were a little sudden, or it might be true as people say that the waist is one of the most sensitive parts of a woman. The moment I touched her waist, her body trembled slightly, as if she was frightened by me.

I could feel her breathing becoming a little disordered and her body temperature was slowly rising, but she didn't resist and just let me hold her in my arms. Her brown hair was a little messy and a faint lavender scent filled my nostrils, making me feel relaxed and happy.

Looking at this dream-like scene, I felt a little dry in the mouth and even dizzy. For a moment, I couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion.

The feeling of holding a delicate and beautiful girl like Xia Xiaoyao in my arms is even more exciting than I had imagined.

Although I have seen many such wonderful scenes in comics and even animations, it is a different feeling when I experience it myself.

I thought that my whole body should be stiff and unable to move at this moment, but when I touched Xia Xiaoyao's body and felt her body temperature and heartbeat, I found that the fact was completely opposite to my guess.

Because at this moment, even though my mind was a little blank, my body had already started moving unconsciously.

I slowly stretched out my hand and brushed her brown hair, and Xia Xiaoyao cooperated by raising her head. Looking at her slightly trembling eyelashes, I couldn't help swallowing.

Our eyes met, and looking at her eyes that were as crystal clear as gems, I felt that her eyes were like magic, as if they sucked me into them. Even though I knew that all this was just my illusion, I couldn't help but think so.

And she was looking back at me uneasily, and finally she slowly closed her eyes. I was shocked when I saw this, and a signal emerged in my mind: Could this mean that I could push her over?

Looking at the beautiful picture in front of me, I just feel that everything around me is slowly moving away from me. It seems that everything has become unimportant. What matters is only this dreamlike moment in front of me...how long can it last.

At this moment, I just felt my head a little hot. Feeling Xia Xiaoyao's disordered breathing, I slowly moved my face towards that warm breath.

"That...that..."

After hearing Xia Xiaoyao's voice, I felt an electric current running through my body for an instant, which suddenly woke me up from the confusion just now. At the same time, I realized belatedly that my subsequent actions just now were not in the script at all.

"Ah...ah?"

For a moment, I felt nervous and guilty, causing my voice to tremble. To be exact, everything that just happened should only stay at the boundary of dream. Once we return to reality... we will be pulled out of that extremely delicate atmosphere by the strong sense of separation.

"My phone seems to be ringing...that...hand..."

"Huh? Oh, sorry."

After I heard what Xia Xiaoyao said, I noticed a vibrating sound coming from her pocket. I quickly withdrew my hand.

For a moment I just felt extremely embarrassed. I didn't know whether I should lament that I was too immersed in the role, or that I was so hot-headed that my rationality evaporated and was given to a doctor from the Ark next door.

I turned my head away a little embarrassedly, but my eyes were still secretly looking at Xia Xiaoyao standing in front of me. Her face was flushed and her eyes were a little distracted. She took out the phone from her pocket a little stiffly and pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

"Is this Miss Xia? Oh, I'm the makeup artist of the crew. You and Mr. Lin can come to the dressing room."

When Xia Xiaoyao heard the person on the other end of the phone calling me, her body trembled slightly. She then looked at me subconsciously. After meeting my gaze, she quickly lowered her head, seeming very nervous.

"Miss Xia?"

"Eh? Oh, ok...ok."

"What's wrong with your voice?"

"No...Nothing, we'll be there soon, that's all...Um, bye."

After Xia Xiaoyao finished speaking, she hurriedly hung up the phone, but her cheeks were still red. Seeing this scene, I just felt a little dry in my mouth and swallowed subconsciously.

For a moment, I really thought she was my girlfriend.

After that, we both walked towards the dressing room. Neither of us talked about what happened just now. But I had a feeling that Xia Xiaoyao didn't seem to be disgusted by my behavior just now.

When I arrived at the dressing room, I found that it was not a large room, but several small independent rooms. This was a bit strange to me, but it was normal after thinking about it carefully.

After all, the dressing room is not just for actors to do their makeup, but also for actors to change their costumes, so this small room has better privacy.

However, I didn't really do any makeup, because the makeup artist said that Director Yang told me not to do any makeup for me because the film wanted to pursue realism, so she just simply tidied up my appearance and let me change my clothes.

But when choosing clothes, I was in a dilemma, because I found that there were too many types of clothes here, and I didn’t know how to dress well. I usually wore whatever clothes I had at school. After I changed several clothes in a row, the makeup artist kept shaking her head.

"How about Mr. Lin, why don't you try this suit? I think it suits your temperament best."

The makeup artist looked me up and down, then picked out a set of clothes from the hanger and handed it to me. When I saw this set of clothes, I suddenly felt a lack of confidence. After all, I had never worn the style of clothes she picked for me.

But after all, it was carefully selected by others, and after hesitating for a while, I decided that it would be better to show my face.

So thinking this, I walked into the dressing room with my clothes in my arms. However, when I came out after changing my clothes, I found that the makeup artist seemed to have gone out, and there was some noise outside the door. I was a little confused...so I slowly opened the door.

But it wouldn't matter if I didn't open the door. Once I opened it, I found Director Yang, Zhou Ling, and even Xia Xiaoyao were standing at the door, talking about something. When I pushed open the door, everyone turned their eyes to me at once, which scared me to death.

For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen. Director Yang and Zhou Ling looked surprised, while Xia Xiaoyao stared at me blankly with her mouth slightly open. Even a few crew members passing by seemed to feel the change in the atmosphere and cast their glances over here.

No... No, even if I know that the clothes I wear are a bit weird, you don't have to look at me like that...

PS: Sorry, I am a little late in updating today because of the evening calculations. I will take a break and then write another update. I will definitely arrange the pigeons I promised everyone.

Chapter 130 The secret that cannot be told

Compared to me, Xia Xiaoyao, who was standing not far from me, was more dazzling. At this moment, she was wearing a white off-shoulder dress with a khaki jacket on the outside.

Her brown hair, which was usually tied up, was now loose on her shoulders, making her look more gentle and charming without losing her vitality. This was the first time I saw Xia Xiaoyao dressed like this.

Logically, everyone should focus their attention on her, but why are both Xia Xiaoyao and Director Yang staring at me blankly? Even though I know that the effect of this outfit may not be satisfactory, it shouldn't be like this, right?

No matter what, let's get out of here and change our clothes back.

"Ahem, um...you guys chat while I go change my clothes."

"Why do you want to change? I think you look great in this outfit."

"what?"

After hearing what Xia Xiaoyao said, I was stunned for a moment, and at the same time I wondered if I was hallucinating, because I just heard her praising me.

But I soon realized that Xia Xiaoyao might be using this to help me resolve the embarrassment at the moment, so I took advantage of the situation and quickly said:

"Ahahahaha... this outfit may not suit me."

I thought the atmosphere would ease up a lot after I said this, but I didn't expect it to become even weirder. It made me feel overwhelmed and I couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

However, Zhou Ling reacted quickly, as if she had come to her senses, and chatted with Director Yang standing next to her with a smile:

"You are worthy of being Director Yang. You have a really good eye for actors."

"Hahaha, this kid always brings me some surprises in every aspect."

After hearing what Zhou Ling said, Director Yang immediately responded with a smile, but he also gave me a compliment in his words, which made me even more confused. The makeup artist seemed to have guessed something, and took me back to the house and brought a floor-length mirror, then smiled and said to me:

"Mr. Lin, you look like a celebrity in this outfit. Look over here."

"Ah? Look... Wow—"

After hearing her words, I walked to the floor-length mirror with half belief and half doubt, and was immediately frightened by myself in the mirror. If Xia Xiaoyao and the others hadn’t been outside the door, I would have blurted out “Fuck”!

My mind went blank for a moment. I stretched out my hand and waved to the person in the mirror. The person in the mirror also responded with the same gesture. Only then did I come to my senses and realize that the person in the mirror was indeed me!

At this moment, I suddenly felt that I had lived in vain for more than 20 years. At the same time, I also realized that the saying "clothes make the man" is true. Although clothes cannot make me handsome, this set of clothes does make me exude a special temperament.

If I don't expose my funny nature of living with the fat guy day and night, but just stand here quietly, people who don't know me will definitely think of me as a man with style and taste.

At this moment, Xia Xiaoyao also walked into the room silently, and stood beside me silently as if she had thought of something. I also moved half a step to the side tacitly, because I also wanted to see what it would be like to be in the same frame with her at this moment.

Looking at each other in the mirror, who are familiar... but also a little strange at this moment, we are both stunned at this moment. I don’t know how to deal with the scene in the mirror. If I have to find a word to describe it, it would probably be -

"Ms. Xia, you and Mr. Lin really match well in this dress. It feels like a match made in heaven."

After seeing us in the mirror, the makeup artist almost blurted out what she said to us. After hearing her words, Xia Xiaoyao's face turned slightly red. But I didn't laugh at her because I knew I wasn't much better.

Director Yang smiled cheerfully upon seeing this, but did not express much about it. He just said frankly that he was looking forward to today's filming. Then he said, "You two young people should get a feel for the filming first. I'll go to the venue to take a look first," and left.

After looking at us, Zhou Ling seemed to want to say something, but she frowned and finally held back. After reminding us to remember to pay attention to the time, she followed Director Yang and left, as if she had something to discuss with Director Yang.

Seeing this, the makeup artist also left the room and even slowly closed the door. Xia Xiaoyao and I were the only ones left in the room. The atmosphere was charming but also... a little awkward.

If we let the atmosphere become quiet like this, our emotions will quickly fall into an awkward low after a brief high, because at this moment...we are just standing in front of the mirror, like a couple who have just fallen in love, immature and at a loss.

We looked at each other in the mirror, as if we wanted to take a step but were hesitant to do so. After Xia Xiaoyao's eyes passed by mine, she blushed and looked away uneasily.

This feeling is very subtle. It makes people feel happy and satisfied, but it also makes me feel a little at a loss as to how to start, because compared to this feeling of restraint, I still prefer Xia Xiaoyao and I to play with each other without having to care.

"You...you shouldn't keep staring at me."

After hearing Xia Xiaoyao's words, I was stunned for a moment, and almost subconsciously said:

"Weren't you staring at me, too?"

"Who...who is staring at you! And...don't try to change the subject!"

After hearing what I said, Xia Xiaoyao's cheeks suddenly turned red. She spoke to me angrily, but her voice didn't sound confident at all. However, I still raised my hands in surrender, made a French military salute, and then slowly said to her:
