Chapter 394: Music and Dance (Ch 394)

At 6 pm, after successfully finishing the ward scene,

The crew moved back to the scene where they filmed the street parade in the morning, preparing to shoot the last scene of the day.

During the parade, Chen Yannian (Qi Jia) was beaten by the military police in order to protect Liu Mei (Zhang Ruonan) and fell unconscious.

After the parade was dispersed, only a girl named Liu Mei (played by Zhang Ruonan) was left at the scene, holding the unconscious Chen Yannian (played by Qi Jia) and crying helplessly in the rainy night.

Finally, Chen Duxiu (played by Yu Hewei), Chen Qiaonian (played by Peng Yuchang) and Gao Junman (played by Zhou Xianxin) arrived.

Chen Duxiu (played by Yu Hewei) carried Chen Yannian (played by Qi Jia) to the hospital.

Since Zhao Junkai agreed, if we finish work before 8 o’clock tonight, we will go to the bar to have fun.

So at this moment everyone is in high spirits and full of energy.

During dinner, many people joked with Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan,

“Teachers, whether we can go to the bar tonight or not depends entirely on you two. Come on!”

After dinner, we took a short break and the staff set up the scene.

After finishing the scene where Chen Duxiu, Chen Qiaoen and Gao Junman go out to look for someone on a rainy night, it was immediately time for Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan’s scene.

“Three, Two, One”

“Age of Awakening, thirty scenes of two shots at a time, start!”

After the script supervisor finished the countdown, he quickly bent down and left, leaving the camera to Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan.

The sprinkler truck started to work, creating an atmosphere of heavy rain at night.

The staff manipulated the jib camera from bottom to top, slowly bringing the two protagonists into the camera.

“Yannian, Yannian, hold on, do you hear me?”

Zhang Ruonan spoke with a tearful tone and a sad expression. She hugged Qi Jia tightly with her arms and sniffed from time to time while reciting the lines.

In her arms, Qi Jia was covered in dust, with dried blood on his forehead.

His eyes were closed naturally and his head drooped limply, making him look like he was really unconscious.

The acting of both actors is very natural and real, which makes people can’t help but put themselves into the story.

“Attention, Unit 3. Chen Duxiu, Chen Qiaonian, and Gao Junman are about to enter the camera.”

Zhao Junkai said while holding the intercom,

As he finished speaking, at the signal of the assistant director, Yu Hewei and the other two, who had been prepared, walked in from the alley holding umbrellas, appeared in the camera, and shouted the two people’s names loudly.

The close-up shot returns to Zhang Ruonan’s face.

In an instant, hope rose in her anxious and helpless eyes, and she shouted with a hint of excitement in her voice,

“Uncle Chen, Auntie, we are here”

“We are here~”

Zhang Ruonan repeated the last line twice. Because she was so immersed in the role, she

Because the fear, grievance and helplessness that had been pent up for the entire afternoon burst out instantly when she saw her loved ones, her voice obviously broke.

Zhao Junkai’s eyes lit up as he had originally looked indifferent. Originally, this scene was just a transition, paving the way for the easing of the relationship between father and son in the ward scene later.

But Zhang Ruonan’s broken voice made the audience feel the deep affection between Chen Yannian and Liu Mei.

It further exaggerates the sadness of the scene in which Chen Yannian reluctantly chooses to give up his relationship with Liu Mei in order to save the country.

“Not bad, not bad.” The more Zhao Junkai thought about it, the more satisfied he became. He nodded in praise with a smile on his face.

The assistant director beside him didn’t understand what was going on and thought Zhao Junkai was praising Qi Jia again, and he was immediately confused.

I thought, no way, Qi Jia just lay there throughout the whole scene and didn’t even have to move a finger, and yet he can be praised for this?

Three minutes later,

“Click! It’s passed, perfect!” Zhao Junkai said while picking up the speaker.

Wuhu~In an instant, everyone on the set cheered loudly, because as long as they finished shooting the last part, the scene where Chen Duxiu carried Chen Yannian to the hospital, they could call it a day and have fun.

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t get carried away, prepare for the last part immediately.”

Zhao Junkai smiled and tapped the table, saying that he was very happy that the filming went so smoothly today. He thought it would be great if it would always go so smoothly, but it was a pity that Qi Jia only had a few scenes.

At 7:40 pm, the last scene was finished, and everyone in the crew applauded excitedly.

In the dressing room,

“Qi Jia, are you guys coming with us tonight?” Zhao Junkai found Qi Jia who was removing her makeup and said with a smile.

Before Qi Jia could speak, Yu Hewei turned around and said, “Hey, don’t refuse. I won’t go home until I’m drunk tonight.”

“Teacher Yu, please don’t get drunk. You have a very important role to play tomorrow.” Zhao Junkai reminded.

“Director, you are such a bummer. I have worked so hard on the shoot for more than half a month, can’t I just enjoy myself?” Yu Hewei was immediately unhappy and said,

Qi Jia made a timely comment: “Teacher Yu is right, let’s continue playing the music and dancing!”

“Hey, kid, you’re making fun of me, right~”

After Yu Hewei finished speaking, everyone remembered his famous scene on Douyin, and laughter suddenly broke out in the entire dressing room.

For the evening entertainment, we chose a high-end bar in the city.

There were dozens of people including the main actors and staff of the crew, and Qi Jia, Zhang Ruonan and Peng Yuchang also went.

However, Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan never liked such noisy places, but they couldn’t refuse so they came along to sit and get acquainted with the other leading actors.

So the two didn’t stay too long and left after an hour.

Seeing that it was still early, just after nine o’clock in the evening, they did not plan to go back to the hotel so soon, so they held hands and walked slowly nearby.

As a tourist city, Wuxing has a rich nightlife.

Even late at night the streets are still very busy. Many tourists can be seen checking in and taking photos on the road, and there are also anchors walking and broadcasting live with their mobile phones.

The two followed the crowd into a brightly lit pedestrian street.

It seems that every tourist city has such a pedestrian street, which sells squid skewers, various unauthentic local delicacies, and small souvenirs sold on a voluntary basis.

The two of them drifted along for a while, and suddenly Zhang Ruonan stopped, pointed his finger forward, and said happily,

“Qi Jia, look, there’s stinky tofu, hmm (sniffs hard) smells like pig intestines (eyes light up) It smells so good! Let’s go try it.”

After saying that, he grabbed Qi Jia and ran forward frantically, not even giving him a chance to refuse.

Coming to the stall, Zhang Ruonan took a deep breath intoxicatedly, then pouted and looked at Qi Jia with her big, sparkling eyes.

“Why, you want to eat it?” Qi Jia’s expression was tangled. Although he was curious and wanted to try it, he couldn’t get over it.

Hmm~ Zhang Ruonan nodded vigorously.

“But there’s so much oil on it, it’ll be hard to wash off if it gets stained. Don’t you like this dress the most?”

After hearing what Qi Jia said, Zhang Ruonan looked at her clothes hesitantly.

She was wearing a white long-sleeved loose T-shirt tonight, with many graffiti painted on the back.

She wore an orange-red baseball cap worn backwards on her head, with her long hair falling naturally, looking sweet and fashionable.

Hmm~ Zhang Ruonan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly: “Be careful, it should be okay, right?”

“Do you really want to eat it?”

“It’s your turn.” Zhang Ruonan rubbed her hands together, then stretched out a finger, pouted and said, “I’ll just eat a little bit, okay?”

This lovely scene almost made the older brother passing by become mentally retarded.

Everyone stared at the two of them, envious and jealous, but also yelling, “Let her eat! Eat as much as you want, put it on my account!”

Qi Jia raised the corners of his mouth under the mask, patted her head, and said with a smile,

“Then sing a song for me and I’ll buy you something to eat~”

Ah~

Zhang Ruonan shyly scratched the tip of her nose, twisted her body, and showed an embarrassed expression on her face.

The slightly conflicted mood lasted less than three seconds, and then she decisively took out her cell phone.
