Chapter 303 Forced Perspective Shooting
Chen Yang's expression changed drastically upon hearing the explosion. His heart sank, wondering if someone had already broken into his villa and was causing trouble.
With a "whoosh," Chen Yang leaped from the driver's seat as if he were a phantom. Without even bothering to open the car door, he sprang out of the car window and dashed into the villa.
Liu Ran, sitting in the passenger seat, was also startled by the explosion from the villa. She quickly asked Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, did something happen at the villa? ...Chen Yang?"
After calling out a couple of times and receiving no response, Liu Ran looked over and saw that the driver's seat was empty.
Liu Ran froze, not understanding when Chen Yang had gotten out of the car. In the blink of an eye, he had been parking the car one moment and had suddenly vanished the next.
Liu Ran couldn't help but touch her chin, her mind filled with questions.
Meanwhile, Chen Yang had already rushed into the villa's living room. The silver thread for his pulse diagnosis was hidden in his palm, ready to kill or save at any moment.
However, upon entering the living room, Chen Yang found that there was no danger at all.
In the living room area, a plastic prop resembling a swimming pool was set up. Su Ya, Lin Yueyu, and Meng Qingxue were sitting in the pool, all wearing scant bikinis. In the center of the three of them was a red sphere, from which the recent explosion had originated.
As Chen Yang stood there bewildered, the red sphere in the middle suddenly "bang!" exploded again, and countless streams of hot air sprayed towards Su Ya, Lin Yueyu, and the others.
The hot air hit the three women, who giggled uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Chen Yang helplessly slapped his forehead. He had thought there was danger, only to find them fooling around.
Chen Yang exclaimed angrily, "What are you guys doing? What did you buy that's so scary?"
Su Ya was startled by his voice and quickly stood up, instinctively covering her chest with her hands. She asked Chen Yang, "When did you come in? How did you get in like a ghost without a sound?"
Chen Yang pouted, "I thought a burglar had broken in. I didn't expect it was you guys messing around."
Lin Yueyu stood up and smiled, "Chen Yang, come over and enjoy the sauna therapy. I'm telling you, this thing is very expensive!"
"The steam it sprays contains very precious skincare ingredients. It's great for the skin. Come quickly."
Hearing this, Chen Yang understood. The red sphere in the middle was something like a steam sauna. Water and skincare medications were mixed in the sphere, and the vapor sprayed out, allowing the medicinal mist to be applied to the skin for maintenance.
Su Ya quickly said to Lin Yueyu, "Lin Yueyu, are you crazy? He's a man, and we're wearing so little. Letting him join is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth!"
Lin Yueyu chuckled, "Ms. Su, you weren't this shy before."
Just then, Liu Ran walked in. Her eyes lit up when she saw the red sphere, and she exclaimed, "Wow, who bought this? That's great! I saw something like this skincare magic on Taobao before. I didn't expect you guys to get it first."
"Wait for me, I'll go change now. Chen Yang, you should change too. Let's enjoy the medicinal steam together."
Chen Yang's old face blushed as he said to Liu Ran, "I... I probably don't need to do this, right?"
Liu Ran quickly pushed him, saying, "You must! Look how rough your skin has become from the sun."
Then, Liu Ran pushed Chen Yang to change into shorts, and she herself changed into a more conservative swimsuit. The five of them sat in the plastic pool, enjoying the medicinal steam.
Meng Qingxue sat there playing games on her phone, indifferent to everything around her. Su Ya, on the other hand, her eyes darting around, looked at Chen Yang and then at Lin Yueyu, always feeling that there was something more between Chen Yang and Lin Yueyu.
After all, Lin Yueyu was a real big star. How could she so calmly accept Chen Yang sitting next to her? If a photo were taken and leaked, her acting career would likely be ruined.
Chen Yang had also gradually gotten used to the four beautiful women's noisy and gossipy routines.
In the evening, the five of them sat around the table, eating and watching the big screen TV on the wall.
At that moment, the news on TV was about the Yang Yang Yang company.
Su Ya was stunned, put down her chopsticks, and frowned, looking at the TV. "What's going on? Our Yang Yang Yang company is on the news?"
Everyone immediately looked at the TV. It was the Qingzhou regional news broadcast, and the news suddenly featured scenes from the Yang Yang Yang company's auditions.
If it were just the auditions for anchors, it would have been fine. However, the news footage clearly showed a few seconds of a scene where Liu Ran was embracing a gentle-looking man.
Su Ya and Lin Yueyu both gasped, "Ah!" Lin Yueyu immediately said, "What... what's going on? Liu Ran, how can there be you with another man on TV...?"
At this point, Lin Yueyu suddenly stopped speaking, carefully glancing at Chen Yang.
Su Ya simply frowned and said, "This isn't right. Liu Ran, what's the situation? You were hugging someone else. How could you be so careless? And let someone film it?"
Liu Ran immediately waved her hands, "No, I just participated in the audition. I didn't hug anyone."
Chen Yang, sitting there with a grim expression, spoke up, "I was watching Liu Ran the entire time during the event. There was absolutely no such action. But now that this image has appeared in the news, it's clearly a forced perspective shot."
Liu Ran asked curiously, "What does forced perspective shooting mean?"
Lin Yueyu quickly explained, "Forced perspective shooting is a filming technique."
"For example, in many movies and TV shows, when a female actress needs to take a bath and is seen by another man, or when a female actress needs to kiss another male actor or even roll around on a blanket, etc., in the past, stunt doubles were mostly used. Nowadays, forced perspective shooting is generally used."
"It's when it looks to us like the male actor and female actor are embracing tightly. But in reality, when filming, they are far apart, and through camera control, it makes the audience think they are pressed closely together."
"Was that news shot accidental, just because the camera was positioned at a forced perspective angle, making it look like Ms. Liu and that pretty-boy anchor were hugging?"
After Lin Yueyu's explanation, Liu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That must be it. It must have been a coincidence that the camera's position and where I was standing created such a scene."
Chen Yang was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid our company, and you, Liu Ran, will be in trouble next."
