Chapter 1253: Chapter 1244: Accident (4)
But in the plot, Xia Siyu kept looking at the male lead, her gaze intense. Although the male lead was helping to pull the second male lead out, he kept looking at her. He, on the other hand, was being dragged out by his teammates but kept looking at the female lead.
So what if I look? It’s clearly a movie for three people, yet I never have a name.
That’s not right. The script originally didn’t include him. He was an unnecessary addition, forced in by capital. If the script hadn’t been changed, he wouldn’t even have the qualification to join this place.
It’s Jiang Jiahe’s first time acting, previously so stiff he couldn’t even hit his marks, and his lines were full of stumbles, not to mention the emotional scenes. Fortunately, he didn’t need to portray much emotion here. Being an undercover, looking cool and stoic is enough; just seeing Xia Siyu’s face light up would suffice. After all, Xia Siyu is indeed beautiful, and it’s too normal for anyone to brighten up seeing her.
But this time, his eyes genuinely had a spark. It’s a mix of admiration and jealousy, with a touch of restraint: after all, this is his sister’s arch-enemy; the beauty is pleasing to the eye, but there’s absolutely no possibility.
Acting in a film requires restraint. Director Ji was worried he might act improperly in this scene—the unnoticed part of Xia Siyu’s nuanced acting had become his least worrisome aspect. His concern was solely Jiang Jiahe. Although he had resources, he shouldn’t ruin his reputation and drag the entire movie down with him.
Seeing his expression, Director Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
But Qin Baizhou, observing on the side, was slightly touched by this expression.
Strangely, although it was just acting, he inexplicably related to himself. He felt like he was the second male lead by Xia Siyu’s side, having weathered storms together with her for many years. However, childhood friendships can never compete with newcomers, just like in the film where the female lead always treated the male second lead as a brother yet fell in love with the male lead she had barely met—Bo Yan.
Qin Baizhou slightly pulled back and turned to Jiang Bumei.
He came this time specifically for Xia Siyu. Calculating by time, Xia Siyu would probably be filming car chases and parkour scenes these days, with a scheduled wrap time three days later.
Unexpectedly, Xia Siyu performed extraordinarily well in both dramatic scenes and action scenes, and unless the director had specific filming requirements, she quickly succeeded in each scene, significantly shortening the filming time.
But he had already booked his flight, and he also had matters to attend to there, so he came as originally planned. His purpose was naturally to guard against Jiang Bumei. Last time, this lunatic nearly ruined Xia Siyu’s reputation. If there were any small disturbances this time, even a minor accident would be unacceptable if it hurt Xia Siyu.
The filming continued.
Xia Siyu was exchanging glances with the male lead over there. Of course, Xia Siyu’s gaze was not only immersed in love; there were levels to it. When the second male was dragged out of the cave, it was evident she breathed a sigh of relief.
With the roar of artillery in the background, the moment the second male exited, the steel bars near the cave entrance shook, like a seesaw losing its pivot, the entire building seemed about to collapse. At this moment, the male lead stretched his hand towards her, but she just smiled, her eyes filled with affection, exhaustion, remorse, and relief. Then, as another massive explosion rang out, the whole building collapsed like a landslide, and the male lead, pulled by his teammates, kept retreating, retreating…
