"Film Emperor Yu, I gave my on-screen first kiss to you, are you going to compensate me?" Sheng Xing Ze quickly got out of character and walked over to Yu Bai, raising a brow and asking with a smile.\n
Yu Bai just glanced at him and then retreated his gaze.
"You reap what you sow."
There was no such light kiss in the script for this scene; it was added by Sheng Xing Ze's self-assertion. Su Jin Mu's conveying his love act before his death made everyone here speechless.
There was nothing wrong with this addition, instead it was beautifully added.
"Film Emperor Yu."
Zhang Chao did not tell them to retake, instead the two of them stood behind him to watch the shot they just took.
Sheng Xing Ze poked his elbow at the person next to him, Yu Bai turned to look at him suspiciously.
Sheng Xing Ze tapped his finger on his lips, then whispered in Yu Bai's ear in a low tone that only the two of them could hear: "Very sweet."
The monitor happened to play that moment of the kiss scene, Yu Bai's ears suddenly turned red under the wig, he then quickly strode away before Zhang Chao could say anything.
Zhang Chao did not know what was going on, but he only saw Sheng Xing Ze laughing softly at Yu Bai's fleeing back. The good relationship between actors was always a good thing for the crew. He did not say much besides mentioning some pointers to Sheng Xing Ze and told him to go prepping for the next scenes.
"Director Zhang," Sheng Xing Ze looked into Zhang Chao's eyes without blinking, "Hurry and apologize to the screenwriter."
Zhang Chao was caught in a pair of dark bottomless eyes before he could react to what was happening in front of him.
He stared blankly in Sheng Xing Ze's eyes, only to see his wife's face constantly appearing in front of his view.
He remembered the first time he met his wife, her smile when she turned around, the sweet love between them, and their oath at their wedding. The blurry memories became clear all at once, as if he had recalled the time when he was still that childish kid, who would desperately do anything to chase after the person he likes.
But looking at him now, he just had a quarrel with his wife over such trivial matters, their difference in professions had put them further and further from each other; that privilege of understanding each other just with a glance had now gone.
He started to panic, the only thing he wanted to do now was to run to his wife's side.
Zhang Chao did exactly what he was thinking; he grabbed the loudspeaker and rushed out of the studio to head to the hotel. The person standing next to him only saw Zhang Chao's back bolting out of here.
It also happened that the screenwriter set off from the hotel to the studio, holding the script in her hand, anger clearly showed on her face.
Zhang Chao saw his wife from afar, waving his hands in the air like a boy, who went on a first date, waved at his crush walking from afar.
There were many people around them; yet, Zhang Chao held up the loudspeaker in his hand and shouted in the direction of the screenwriter, "Honey, I was wrong."
The screenwriter was caught by surprise by seeing Zhang Chao still screaming with the loudspeaker, everyone's attention was now on the madman as the sound getting louder and closer, everyone also shouted "forgive him" to her. She did not care about her anger as she ran over to cover Zhang Chao's mouth; even though her face was angry, her heart felt so sweet like being immersed in honey.
After being scolded by his wife, Zhang Chao still laughed dumbly, when the two of them were back on the set. If the screenwriter did not cover Zhang Chao's mouth, he would pop out sweet words one after another.
Sheng Xing Ze stood there looking at the young couple in front of him, and could not help showing a smile.
This behavior of Zhang Chao was not a coincidence, but it was the result of Sheng Xing Ze's ability.
He could instantly magnify a certain feeling in other people, whether it is family love, friend love, or mutual love, as long as he activated his ability, the person he was staring at could not avoid being affected by this ability.
Due to this ability, Sheng Xing Ze could never have a boyfriend for most of his life. Every time he met someone he likes, he only needed to say a few words and immediately he would witness a grandeur confession, yet the objective of those confessions would never be him.
That was why Sheng Xing Ze had directly contributed to a lot of love confessions from people who had a hard time telling their feelings to their loved ones. This led him to believe that it would be a great loss to the blind date show if he were not to become the host.
Although he had been complaining countless times about the troubles his ability had caused him, every time he saw a new couple was formed from his help, Sheng Xing Ze would involuntarily show a motherly smile.
The first step to being the golden mediator: mediate the conflict between husband and wife.
Looking at the loving married couple in front of him, Sheng Xing Ze's lips twitched upward, deep in merit and pride.
Zhang Chao wanted to coax his wife, so he let the crew take a day off today. Everyone packed up in joy as they welcomed this rare day off.
Sheng Xing Ze was stopped by Zhang Chao. He did not know what Zhang Chao had said to the screenwriter; even though the other was standing beside him and not saying anything, the screenwriter looked at Sheng Xing Ze with a much better expression.
"Thank you for today, I'm still trying my best to convince your sister-in-law about adding more scenes." He unexpectedly slapped Sheng Xing Ze's back, the unprepared Sheng Xing Ze still kept a decent smile on, but he almost spouted out his organs due to the hard slap.
The screenwriter gave Zhang Chao a squinted eye as she threatened him, Zhang Chao leaned in to kiss her; he was still smiling silly even though he got pushed away.
Sheng Xing Ze thanked him and watched the two of them walking away before heading back to the dressing room.
Just now Zhang Chao's voice was quite loud and the people around him basically heard it, they stared at Sheng Xing Ze one by one in jealousy. A group of people did not know that Sheng Xing Ze met up with Zhang Chao about adding some scenes into the script last night, they just thought the director just wanted to thank Sheng Xing Ze for persuading him to apologize to his wife.
They were envying Sheng Xing Ze for having such good luck, with just one sentence he was able to persuade the young couple to reconcile; they regretted not going up and saying a few words to the director, maybe they would be the one to have more scenes on screen.
Yuan Xiu was standing not far from Sheng Xing Ze, he clearly heard Zhang Chaos' words. He stared at the other with sharp dagger eyes as if he could poke a hole in the other's back.
Although he played the second male lead in the movie, his role was a villain. He had a lot of on screen scenes, but his character was not popular to the viewers. He thought that he could find an opportunity to practice his lines with Yu Bai; but, the Film Emperor did not look at him at all. The other would tell him that he did not have time; yet, the Film Emperor would practice the lines with the newcomers.
If it were not Sheng Xing Ze, but Lin Mu...
In the dressing room, Meng Xia was removing the makeup for Yu Bai. When Sheng Xing Ze came in, she told him to sit on the side to wait for her as her hand worked faster on Yu Bai's face.
Sheng Xing Ze did not intend to trouble the makeup artist; in his previous life, when he was still a novice actor who played insignificant roles, there was no makeup artist to help him take off the makeup. Every time he finished filming, he would remove the makeup himself; since then he had developed such a habit, even after he became a Film Emperor, he still did not change it.
As he reached out his hand, Meng Xia immediately yelled beside him.
"Don't move, I'll do it, so you don't spoil your face."
She put a mask on Yu Bai, washed her hands and came back to start removing makeup on Sheng Xing Ze's face without stopping for a moment.
"You young people are too self-confident with your youth that you don't take good care of your skin. After a few years, fine lines will come out and the pores become bigger, I'm going to see who will be the one crying then..."
Sheng Xing Ze looked over to Yu Bai to ask for help, hoping the other would stop Meng Xia nagging.
Yu Bai leaned back on his chair with a facial mask covering all expressions on his face, yet there was a tint of happiness in his eyes seeing Sheng Xing Ze being nagged at.
Usually, he could not counter Sheng Xing Ze's constant teasing, so it was a rare sight to see Sheng Xing Ze become speechless, why would he try to help him out?
"What you're looking at him for, you two are no better than each other," Meng Xia angrily scolded.
Yu Bai did not expect to be scolded; because Sheng Xing Ze was looking at him for not doing anything, he successfully became Meng Xia's new target of her nagging. He glared at Sheng Xing Ze and the other just returned an empathetic look at him.
The two of them "enjoyed" Meng Xia's good long lecture, but they understood she just meant well for them. They both did not say anything back to her, but occasionally they would glare at each other, blaming the other for this lecture.
Finally Meng Xia went to other actors to work on their makeup, the two men's ears were letting go from her lecture. They let out a huge relieved sigh and the expression on their faces had relaxed a lot.
A makeup artist assistant sneaked to Sheng Xing Ze's side, seeing Meng Xia did not pay attention to her, she quietly placed a warm themos into Sheng Xing Ze's hands.
"This is the ginger tea I especially made for you, you've worked hard, please keep warm," the little girl whispered in Sheng Xing Ze's ear, yet from time to time, she would take a peek at Yu Bai who has his eyes closed.
Even though it had just entered the winter, the temperature continued to drop; the actors could only wear thin costumes in this weather. During such trembling cold wind, the actors still had to fulfill their duty to film the movie.
"Thank you," Sheng Xing Ze took the thermos and smiled slightly at the little makeup artist. The little makeup artist's face suddenly turned red, being flashed such a smile caused her to feel lightheaded.
"The cup was made by me, and the picture of Su Jin Mu was also drawn by me," the little girl was a bit shy as her voice became smaller and smaller, and her eyes glowed with expectation. "From the first day, I've seen you as the Ah Mu in my heart, so please be sure to accept this present."
This little makeup artist was Sheng Xing Ze's fan, who likes his beauty; when she witnessed his outbreak in acting yesterday, she felt a sudden burst of pride in her heart--this is my idol. It happened that the customized cup arrived today, she could not wait to give it to Sheng Xing Ze.
Yu Bai watched from the corners of his eyes, the fans usually would be surrounding him to send gifts or to ask for autographs, while other artists could only watch with envy. But today, there was a reverse in their roles, so it took him a while to get used to it.
Probably Yu Bai's staring was too obvious, as soon as the little makeup artist turned her head to him, she immediately saw Film Emperor Yu staring at her, and she felt a cold shiver running along her spine. She repeatedly told Sheng Xing Ze to pay attention to his health and hurriedly returned to her post, she did not dare to ask for an autograph.
Sheng Xing Ze stopped her and found a keychain as a returning gift to the little makeup artist, "Do you want an autograph?"
The little makeup artist saw Yu Bai withdraw his gaze, she quickly took out a pen and a small notebook from her pocket and handed them to Sheng Xing Ze, as she did not dare to stay long.
Sitting next to Sheng Xing Ze, Yu Bai witnessed Sheng Xing Ze, who had never said any good things to him, was now smiling happily at the little girl, even giving her his keychain, he felt somewhat irritated.
"Mr. Sheng is sure full of charm," he said sarcastically.
Sheng Xing Ze pretended to not understand what he meant, and shamelessly leaned his head to him, "Is Film Emperor Yu being charmed by me?"
Yu Bai wanted to roll his eyes at him, but his upbringing did not allow him to have such an impolite gesture, so he just looked at the other coldly, then turned his head back to stare at himself in the mirror, not saying another word.
Sheng Xing Ze once again caused the other to be at a loss for words and put the other into a bad mood; Sheng Xing Ze laughed quietly next to the other man.
