Chapter 96: Su Ji’s First Scene by the Beach
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The warm sunlight, the golden beach, and the relaxing waves.
Si Jingchuan had also noticed Su Ji and the others. He had to work with Blue Whale for a drama soon, so when he heard from his manager Fu Xiaofeng that the newcomer he was about to work with was also an artist from Blue Whale, he waved at them quite amiably. His beautiful facial features and smile were brilliant under the sun.
He was not arrogant at all.
Yang Xiaotao shot hearts at him madly, “look! He is waving at us!”
“What’s the big deal? He’ll be shaking hands with you later,” Su Ji replied.
A few seconds later, Si Jingchuan walked up to them and took the initiative to shake hands with Yang Xiaotao and Su Ji.
Yang Xiaotao looked at her idol’s hand, “!!!”
She would not wash her hand in this lifetime!
Si Jingchuan released Yang Xiaotao and shook hands with Su Ji. He said weakly, “ahem, let’s help each other in the shooting.”
Su Ji thought that he was just being polite with her, but she soon realized that he not only looked like a little girl, but he was also a real sissy.
Compared to him, Su Ji suddenly felt that Pei Huai was probably not…
Even Su Ji, the demon concubine, was not as girly as him.
She had to wear light clothes for the beach shooting, but Si Jingchuan was afraid of the sun and was putting on sunblock for more than half an hour.
Later on, they were filming a scene where the two of them were chasing each other by the sea. Su Ji was running in front while Si Jingchuan was chasing after her.
However, as she ran, Su Ji turned around and realized that Si Jingchuan’s figure was getting smaller and smaller until he became a small black dot.
Behind her, Si Jingchuan was panting heavily with his hands on his legs. He was so tired that he was about to faint.
However, he couldn’t be blamed for this. Not only was he unable to catch up, but even the camera crew was unable to catch up to Su Ji.
The director shouted into the loudspeaker, “Su Ji! Do you have to run like you’re in a race? You’re a couple messing around on the beach!”
Sonya was left speechless.
How should she put it? She was indeed not a soft girl.
Sonya didn’t have any scenes today, but it was the first day of shooting, and she wasn’t sure how Su Ji looked in front of the camera. She was really worried and decided to come and take a look.
The song was the blood, sweat, and tears of her team. She couldn’t let anyone ruin it.
In the afternoon, Si Jingchuan was still badly sunburnt even though he had applied several layers of sunblock. He looked in the mirror unhappily, and Su Ji threw him a bottle of sunblock that she had made herself.
Si Jingchuan looked at it in surprise, “wow! What a cute bottle. Is this good?”
“Do you think I’m fair?” Su Ji curled her lips.
Si Jingchuan immediately covered his face with the ointment.
Su Ji pinched the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows. He was even more delicate than this demon concubine.
Ren Guanghua sent his men to have a few meetings with Sonya’s team in advance.
They gave Sonya’s team complete freedom and only made minor adjustments.
In the original script, it was supposed to be an intimate scene between the male and female leads, but after some editing, it became a wholesome interaction.
Usually, in order to catch people’s attention, there would be some very erotic scenes.
But it didn’t matter. Sonya didn’t need those scenes to help her new song gain momentum.
During the morning shoot, Sonya’s eyes were often focused on Su Ji, and she would subconsciously be attracted to her.
Although Su Ji’s acting skills were a little underdeveloped, she was very photogenic.
Some actors were good at crying scenes or emotional scenes, but they were clueless when it came to physical coordination.
However, Su Ji’s limbs were very coordinated, and her performance was very intense.
It seemed that being from a girl group was helpful.
In the afternoon, Si Jingchuan’s only job was to film a long shot of surfing by the beach.
However, when he saw the surging waves, he immediately gave up.
The surfboard was tied to a speedboat at the back and was traveling at a high speed. It was so fast that if no one was standing on the surfboard, it would fly off.
They didn’t even have any protective measures!
And he didn’t know how to surf.
A few minutes later, Fu Xiaofeng arrived in front of Sonya’s team. He rubbed his hands and said embarra.s.sedly, “I’ll have to trouble you to find a subst.i.tute for this scene. I don’t remember there being such a scene, right?”
The team members looked at each other. To be honest, they also wanted to find a subst.i.tute, but the people surfing at the beach were all tall and strong men. Their figures were too different from Si Jingchuan’s, or their skin was too dark. There were very few men who were as fair as him.
“Can you tell him to do this one? We’ll increase the payment.”
“I’m really sorry. To tell you the truth, he doesn’t know how to surf…” Fu Xiaofeng laughed.
“I saw him surfing pretty well in a variety show before,” Sonya said.
“Heh, that’s a double too…”
Jingshen was panting heavily with every step he took. Although he had a good figure, he was actually sickly and had not done any sports.
Sonya was speechless, but she couldn’t do anything.
Although Si Jingchuan was a newbie, he was no less popular than her.
It was rumored that his family background was special, the kind that could not be provoked.
He was popular, had good acting skills, and was involved in a big production recently.
That was why Sonya’s team had him in her MV.
The beach here was named Gold Coast, and the price for a day’s booking was astonishingly expensive.
However, if they could not find a suitable subst.i.tute today, they had to come back tomorrow.
As she was thinking, she saw a slender figure studying the skateboard on the sh.o.r.e, and then watching the others surfing in the sea for a while. Su Ji sighed, “why don’t I go?”
Sonya turned around in shock.
Su Ji?
The team immediately looked at the screen.
Jingshen was tall and thin, unlike Pei Huai who had broad shoulders. Su Ji’s figure was also well-proportioned, just like a smaller Si Jingchuan. One really couldn’t tell from the distance.
Besides, she was wearing a proper surfing suit.
Si Jingchuan looked at Su Ji, who was standing there with the skateboard under her arm. There seemed to be a light shining behind her. “My G.o.d, working with her gives me such a sense of security!”
Fu Xiaofeng thought, “a girl is giving you a sense of security? Shouldn’t it be the other way round?”
Even Yang Xiaotao smiled. CEO PeI might not be closeted, but this one was definitely!
Sonya looked at Su Ji for a moment, “okay, you can be his double today. You will be paid more than a double, don’t worry.”
“Sure,” Su Ji nodded.
“Great. When do we start filming?” the director asked.
Who knew that Su Ji would snap her fingers at the tanned and muscular surfing coach behind her, “give me 10 minutes. I’ll learn it now.”
