Chapter 65: The Eye Play
Chapter 65
After eating the salad Xiao Tang had sent over, Ji Nian was also getting ready to go out, thinking about the play she had diligently practiced all night, she had to show some improvement today!
When she arrived at the usual classroom, as soon as Ji Nian walked in, she saw Yu Luobai dressed casually at home, his tall figure and handsome features, sitting on the sofa with one leg crossed, looking quite roguishly handsome.
"Did you go home and practice last night?" Yu Luobai raised his eyebrows, casually flipping through the script in his hand.
This time Ji Nian was very confident, nodded decisively and said, "I practiced! And I practiced all night! There must be improvement!"
Yu Luobai laughed out loud, looked over, only to see the woman with a smug look on her face, and asked, "So confident?"
Ji Nian was embarrassed by his gaze and suddenly lost confidence again, guiltily said, "Actually I feel like there's a little bit of improvement..."
Yu Luobai didn't speak, just looking at the silly woman's appearance, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Okay, let's run lines."
Ji Nian nodded, gripped her hands nervously, not knowing which part he would take out today.
Yu Luobai casually pointed to a paragraph in the script and said, "Eye contact play, early supporting actress Song Yu, towards the male lead Bai Ruoyuan's liking, because the male lead once saved the supporting actress's life, she goes from admiration to infatuation, this is an eye contact change."
Ji Nian's heart skipped a beat, oh no, how can she act this? She has never been in love before, wouldn't this eye play collapse?
"Look at me." Yu Luobai met the woman's eyes and said, "Pretend I'm the person you admire, what kind of eyes would you look at me with?"
Ji Nian met the man's eyes and was suddenly stunned. She saw his chiseled features, a hint of coldness, and his deep eyes seemed to have a kind of magic that kept attracting her.
She was embarrassed by his gaze, her ears slightly red, somewhat shyly lowered her head.
"That's the feeling." For a fleeting moment Yu Luobai was stunned.
The woman's shy demeanor just now, with naive innocence, was like a budding flower. At this moment, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart.
Ji Nian looked up to meet the man's eyes, she was a little confused, and asked, "Hmm? What feeling?"
Yu Luobai came back to his senses, coughed lightly, somewhat unnaturally turned his head away, and answered, "Just now the way you looked at me, for the person you admire, your eyes show shy implications."
"Hehe..." Ji Nian awkwardly held the script.
She wasn't acting just now, she simply met his eyes and felt a little embarrassed, after all being looked at by a handsome guy, it was inevitable to feel self-conscious...
"You have three days before joining the crew, let's make good use of the time and go through all the scenes today." Yu Luobai said.
When Ji Nian thought about having to join the crew, she felt bad all over. Why on earth did she have the courage to agree to this at first...
"Teacher Yu, you must save me." Ji Nian looked at the man with a pathetic expression, and said pitifully, "Otherwise I'll be sprayed to death. I checked online, this novel is super popular."
Yu Luobai smiled and said, "I also wonder how the director saw your acting skills to cast you?"
Ji Nian blinked her innocent big eyes and answered, "Maybe...the director wasn't thinking straight for a moment..."
"Pfft..." Yu Luobai laughed out loud. After spending these days together, he felt this woman was very interesting, completely different from what was spread online.
At this time, Shen Shuyao was discussing with He Yi which script they should choose. Since the variety show blew up yesterday, she has also received many drama invitations from various crews.
He Yi looked at the pile of documents in front of him and shook his head in distress. "Back when there were no scripts, I would directly agree whenever one was sent over. Now that you guys are getting popular, going through and picking, I feel dissatisfied with all these scripts."
Shen Shuyao laughed and said, "You haven't finished reading yet."
He Yi nodded, and continued to flip through the next invitation. He suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Strange? This is a variety entertainment show?"
Shen Shuyao turned her head over in confusion. "Sent to the wrong place?"
"Let me see." He Yi looked carefully at the information, and suddenly cried out in surprise, "Oh my God, this is an invitation for you and Little Nian to go on Happy Camp! This show actually invited you two together!"
Shen Shuyao was also surprised. She actually received an invitation from Happy Camp. It was known that this show helped make many people popular, and the popularity of artists on this station was nothing to sneeze at.
"It's the day after tomorrow! Hurry up and agree!" He Yi was overjoyed and laughed, "Let me notify Little Nian first, then contact the show crew. It must have been a last minute invitation, plus it's a live show, we still have to clear time to rehearse!"
"Okay." Shen Shuyao smiled in response, also vaguely looking forward to it. Although her popularity now was higher than before, being able to get on this type of show was also a very good start.
On Ji Nian's side, she was completely unaware that another job had been arranged for her, and was seriously running lines.
Yu Luobai frowned and said, "Ji Nian, don't avoid eye contact, look at me."
Ji Nian's heart beat faster, she didn't quite dare to look into his eyes, resulting in the lines not going too well just now.
Yu Luobai put down the script with a "slap" and said solemnly, "Ji Nian, you have to be serious."
Seeing the man looking seemingly angry, Ji Nian was like a child who had done something wrong, bowing her head and saying, "I'm sorry..."
Yu Luobai rubbed his temples and sighed, "Actually you made progress today. At least for most of the scenes we went through, your acting was relatively more natural. But you need to be more confident with your eyes, don't avoid them, don't be afraid, look at me when you speak, understand?"
Ji Nian nodded somewhat aggrievedly, mumbling, "I want to, but..."
"But what?" Yu Luobai heard her soft voice and asked.
"You're too good-looking, I don't even dare look much." Ji Nian was criticized and inevitably felt defeated. She was somewhat reckless and said, "What woman doesn't like handsome guys, besides I have to make eye contact with you, of course I'll feel shy inside."
Yu Luobai looked at her with a smiling expression, the corners of his lips curled up, and said, "You're quite straightforward."
Ji Nian arrogantly raised her chin and said, "I'm a straight talker."
Yu Luobai nodded, looking into the woman's eyes. His eyes were like a clear lake, with a gentle and serious expression. He said softly, "I don't know why, hearing you compliment me makes me inexplicably very happy."
Ji Nian was stunned. The man's gentle appearance was like a soft breeze blowing by, making her unable to help but stare blankly.
She saw him stretch out his slender hand, slowly approaching her face. Just as Ji Nian was about to sink into the feeling, a sharp pain on her forehead made her instantly sober up.
"Ow, that hurts!" Ji Nian looked aggrieved. He actually flicked her forehead?
"This is eye acting. Understand?" Seeing the woman's silly appearance, Yu Luobai laughed out loud.
"Oh." Ji Nian couldn't help but roll her eyes. The nice atmosphere was gone just like that.
