Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 414
Chapter 414: Heard You Got Shelved (19)
Yu Jingchen quietly added, “I’m ready too,” though his trembling eyelashes and the blush on his face betrayed his nervousness.
Director Wang sighed, “Alright, let’s do a test run.”
The kiss scene involved Princess Yinling, who, after meeting Immortal Qingsu, had been thinking about him day and night.
Being someone unfamiliar with love, she spent a lot of time feeling conflicted.
Unbeknownst to her, during this period of inner turmoil, Immortal Qingsu, after several confrontations with Luo Yao, started developing some vague, unexplainable feelings.
Once Princess Yinling realized her own emotions, she boldly decided to express her love for Qingsu.
With her lively and mischievous personality, she was far more daring than most women when it came to matters of the heart.
So, she immediately went to his residence, where she found him resting under an osmanthus tree, eyes closed in a peaceful slumber.
His sharp, handsome face stirred something within her, and she couldn’t resist stealing a kiss.
Just as she kissed him, Qingsu, who was dreaming about Luo Yao, subconsciously responded to her kiss.
However, being shy at heart, Princess Yinling was so startled by his response that she quickly fled the scene.
This kiss scene was meant to be simple, mainly focusing on the characters’ emotional conflict and excitement.
The first attempt was a no-go before they even started.
Both actors made mistakes—Yu Jingchen remained quietly reclined, but his blush gave away his shyness, while Shen Mubai couldn’t quite convey the spontaneity needed for her character’s emotions.
Director Wang gave them both some feedback and they tried again.
The second take was noticeably better.
The girl in a pink dress, with bells on her wrist, held her breath as her gaze fell on the white-robed man resting under the osmanthus tree, his eyes closed.
Her eyes sparkled with joy and admiration.
She crept over quietly, watching him for a moment, her eyes drawn to his cool, thin lips.
After a pause, she leaned in closer.
“Cut!”
Director Wang called out, somewhat exasperated.
“Jingchen, you need to understand that you’re playing Immortal Qingsu. Even in his dreams, he’s still that cold and distant figure. He’s not the type to show his emotions on his face. You have to control your expressions—and keep your eyelashes still! Not even a flutter!”
Yu Jingchen bit his lip, feeling guilty.
“I understand, Director.”
Seeing this, Shen Mubai quickly tried to reassure him, “I get it, too. I was really nervous. But hey, just imagine me as a big white bun or something!”
Yu Jingchen couldn’t help but chuckle, but when he met her gaze, his face flushed again, and he shyly lowered his eyes.
“Sister Xiaoxing is so beautiful. How could I think of you as a bun?”
Shen Mubai shrugged it off.
“Just try, it’s not real anyway.”
Yu Jingchen stared at her for a while before finally saying, “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
They had passed the earlier part of the scene, so they started from where they had stopped.
Shen Mubai adjusted her expression and mood, then slowly leaned in again.
The man resting under the osmanthus tree had a strikingly handsome face.
Even in his slumber, there was an aura of coldness about him.
