Chapter 81: Dramatic Act!

Chapter 81: Dramatic Act!

Cen Bai stood rooted to the ground, wondering if he should run away or apologize to that person first.

However, the way he looked as if he’d seen a ghost caused others to misunderstand.

The assistant director was a little worried. Cen Bai was very serious about acting. He was clearly from a wealthy family, but he had never acted like a big shot. He had a rule regarding his acting, and that was that his acting skills had to be up to standard, and he did not accept being interfered with by investors. So, was he not satisfied with Xue Xi?

The assistant director shot a glance at Xue Xi, who was still standing there calmly. He coughed and reminded her softly, “Xue Xi, quickly greet Teacher Cen.”

A pretty little girl like her should just admit defeat, right? However, Xue Xi merely glanced at him and did not speak.

Assistant Director: “?”

It was not that Xue Xi did not want to speak, but she was just thinking about how to address Cen Bai. Should she call him Acting? That did not seem appropriate. Xiao Bai? But that was how the chatterbox addressed him. It was too intimate.

The assistant director was extremely anxious. If the young lady did not speak, what should he do? Just as he was feeling anxious, he saw Cen Bai’s fox-like eyes moved slightly toward Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, are you going to film with me?”

Assistant Director: “?”

Everyone: “?”

Sister Xi? What the hell?

Did they hear wrongly?

Xue Xi nodded. The mole under Cen Bai’s eye accentuated his enchanting face. “I’ll go change first. See you later!”

When Cen Bai entered the piano room, the assistant director looked at Xue Xi in confusion. “You guys know each other?”

“Mhm.” Xue Xi then asked, “Should I change my clothes?”

“Yes. Let’s go to the dressing room. It’s over there,” the assistant director said as he personally led Xue Xi to the dressing room. It was only after she had entered that the assistant director realized what he had done. Only someone as popular as Cen Bai was worthy of him personally leading the way. Why did he bring along a small-bit extra just now?

Five minutes later, the dressing room door opened and the makeup artist walked out.

The assistant director was frightened. “What’s wrong?”

Did something happen again?

The makeup artist was also stunned. “Nothing much. The makeup is done.”

“So fast?”

The makeup artist had a look of amazement on her face. “Yes. Her skin is too good. She doesn’t need to put on makeup at all. I applied only some blush on and lip gloss. And I just let her hair down! She’s changing now, but she’ll be out soon.”

The assistant director: “…”

Just as the makeup artist had finished speaking, Xue Xi walked out of the dressing room. The moment she stepped out, everyone in the room was stunned.

The girl’s jet-black, shiny hair cascaded behind her like satin. She had taken off the school uniform that she usually wore to school and had changed into the exquisite school uniform dress in the drama. The white sailor suit top was tucked into the blue pleated skirt, making her waist look slim. Under the short skirt, Xue Xi’s legs were fair, straight, slim, and long. She had put on a pair of white shoes, making her ankle look exceptionally beautiful.

The assistant director was overjoyed when he saw her.

Cen Bai had a stunning appearance that put a lot of pressure on actresses. Initially, the director had been thinking, “What kind of girl is she that makes her worthy of Cen Bai’s unforgettable look?”

Now that he was seeing Xue Xi this way, the assistant director understood that that reaction was only natural!

Both Xue Xi and Cen Bai had their makeup done quickly, but the setting was not prepared as fast. Hence, after they had changed, they sat in the front row and waited.

The stage supervisor was arranging for the extras to take their seats. When it was Li Hanlei and Xue Yao’s turn, Xue Yao turned around to leave, but Li Hanlei grabbed her. “Don’t go. Let’s stay here and watch her being unable to play the piano!”

Xue Yao dared not stay, but when she turned around, she saw Fan Han walking over as well. He even said, “Stay. If she cries because of the piano teacher later, you can help.”

Xue Yao clenched her fists and wanted to say something. Seeing that she had not left, the staff had her sit down on her seat.

Xue Yao: “…”

In the front row, Cen Bai was holding the script and was silently rehearsing. He was looking for the right state of mind. Xue Xi was also holding a pen and writing seriously in a book. The assistant director was very pleased. The young lady was very hardworking!

It was her first time filming, after all, so it was understandable for her to be nervous. He walked over to comfort her, but he suddenly realized that Xue Xi was writing a set… Classic Math Olympiad 50 Questions?

Assistant Director: “? Why doesn’t that seem right?”

He said, “You…”

Xue Xi slowly lifted her head, but her eyes were still on the paper. She seemed to be silently calculating something in her mind. She randomly picked a B and then looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

The assistant director gulped. “Are you doing homework?”

“Mhm.” Xue Xi shot a glance at the scene and the assistant director read from her expression: You guys are so slow and wasting my time.

“…”

After she had finished doing several questions, the set was finally in order. She placed the papers aside and the assistant director explained the first scene. “The pianist will film the other scenes later. Let’s just start by filming the piano lesson, and Cen Bai will play your part for now.”

Xue Xi nodded. Qin Shuang, who was seated below, was a little worried for Xue Xi. She had known Sister Xi for so long, but she had never seen a different expression on her face! Could Cen Bai act well when flirting with her?

The assistant director said, “Alright, start the scene on my say so!”

He retreated toward the camera and said, “Begin!”

In the first scene, Cen Bai entered the classroom, casually picked up the milk tea that his unrequited crush had drunk from, and took a sip. He raised his eyebrows and his face was full of teasing and flirting. There was no doubt about the acting skills of the Best Actor.

The second scene was to capture Xue Xi’s facial close-up.

The assistant director did not expect Xue Xi to have any good acting skills. It was fine if she was just expressionless. Anyway, it was not mentioned whether the unattainable flower liked Cen Bai or not.

The assistant director explained, “It’s like this. He drank the milk tea that you had already drunk from and his lips touched the spot that yours did. You guys are indirectly kissing!”

Indirect kiss?

Xue Xi was stunned because she suddenly recalled that in the provision store this morning, Xiang Huai not only ate her bun but also drank her soy milk… Was that an indirect kiss?

That bastard!

A complicated expression suddenly appeared in Xue Xi’s eyes.

The assistant director caught it and hurriedly picked up the camera, almost hitting Xue Xi’s face!

Surprising! Too surprising!

This girl is definitely a natural-born actress. She got into character so quickly! This expression is amazing! It is the feeling I’m after!

The two played this scene over and over again, and it went very fast. The next scene was the close-up of the piano.

The assistant director looked at the time. “Zhou Zhou’s disciple is not here yet. Xue Xi, why don’t you perform on the spot and randomly play a few notes? Let’s give it a try, shall we?”

Xue Xi nodded.

She walked to the stage, sat in front of the piano, and placed her fingers on the keys.

Among the crowd, Li Hanlei looked as though she was watching a good show. “Someone who has never touched a piano before is gonna play the piano? Tsk, tsk. Someone will be criticized until they cry later~”

Right after she said this, the director shouted, “The song is ‘Dream Wedding.’ Let’s begin!”

Following his voice, Xue Xi pressed her fingers on the piano. As her slender and fair fingers danced, the melodious music drifted out…

“Stop!”

The assistant director suddenly shouted, “Who put on the real piano piece? Turn it off! Just let Xue Xi press the keys a few times!”
