Her face flushed, truly flushed!
After so many years of acting, what scene had she not witnessed? How could she blush?
How could she blush for Jian Zhou?
Jian Zhou chuckled, lowering his voice even further, as if casting a spell: "I think that last kiss scene was a bit imperfect. How about we do another take?"
Wanting another take?
Dream on!
Jiang Ling shoved him away, "Go kiss a piece of pork skin!"
She scurried into the restroom, turned on the faucet, and splashed cold water on her face.
The icy water helped the redness on her face subside considerably, but her heart still pounded.
Jiang Ling closed her eyes, trying her best not to think.
Yet, the image of Jian Zhou's passionate kiss kept replaying in her mind.
The moment their lips met, her chest felt like fireworks exploding, something she had never experienced in her two lives.
Jiang Ling looked at her still flushed face in the mirror and irritably ran a hand through her hair.
This guy was too damn annoying, daring to tease her during a scene!
But then again, she thought, whoever makes the first move is the culprit. Who told her to take advantage of him first!
Wait, didn't Jian Zhou used to resist her advances before?
Why was he suddenly acting so flirty now?
As she was pondering, her phone rang.
It was Jian Zhou calling: "The next scene is about to start, aren't you coming out?"
Jiang Ling took a deep breath, "Coming right now!"
As she emerged from the restroom, she saw Jian Zhou looking at her with a playful grin, and her heart, which had finally calmed down, began to boil again.
Was it because she was too immersed in the role?
Jiang Ling was starting to get confused, whether this was just acting, or…
After filming one scene, Jiang Ling was somewhat absent-minded and not in her best state. Just as she was about to apologize and ask Chen Mingzhang and the other actors to cooperate for another take,
Chen Mingzhang said with a look of pleasant surprise, "That's great, this scene was acted brilliantly."
"Huh???" Jiang Ling was dumbfounded.
I haven't even started acting seriously yet?
Why did this scene pass?
Chen Mingzhang continued, "The hardest part to act in an idol drama is when the female lead falls for the male lead but remains oblivious, that feeling of confusion, innocence, pain, and frustration. In all the dramas I've directed, no actress could get it in one take; they'd at least need seven or eight retakes. You captured that feeling perfectly just now, that's exactly it, brilliant!"
Jiang Ling: "..."
The other actors and crew members present also chimed in with praise.
"Yes, yes, this scene was truly amazing!"
"Teacher Jiang Ling truly lives up to her reputation as a powerhouse. She acts what she feels. This kind of acting in an idol drama is like using a cannon to swat a fly!"
"That scene just now was so realistic, I almost couldn't get out of character myself!"
Jiang Ling: "..."
After stumbling through the afternoon's scenes, Jiang Ling thought her reputation for "one-take Jiang" was ruined.
To her surprise, several scenes were completed in a single take, with Chen Mingzhang and the supporting cast showering her with compliments.
Jiang Ling never expected that her current mood perfectly mirrored Ye Tianyu's state of mind. Acting naturally was even more brilliant than acting with her skills.
Sister Sa, who was assisting, saw Jiang Ling looking downcast and silent for a long time, and chuckled, "What's wrong? Did your period decide to visit early?"
"No!" Jiang Ling rolled her eyes, "My period just left a few days ago, how could it come back already."
"If it's not your period, then what is it? Tell me, and I'll help you analyze it!"
Jiang Ling frowned, "Stop analyzing, the more you analyze, the more annoying it gets!"
