Chapter 449: Chapter 450: Qiangqiang Showdown

After Qin Siqin and He Jinxia made amends, the following filming went very smoothly because it mostly involved martial arts scenes.

Occasionally, she would hang by wires and fly around the hall, but the pain of hanging from wires was a bit hard to bear.

Fighting others was a matter of breaking down the movements one by one, which wasn’t difficult.

Before long, morning had passed.

After a lunch break, the afternoon arrived.

The afternoon shooting was divided into two sessions, one with Qin Siqin and Yu Yanyu, while He Jinxia filmed with Sheng Yan.

One group was providing cover for each other in the hotel to steal things, while the other group was trying hard to snatch treasures from the opponents.

The highlight was naturally the matchup between He Jinxia and Sheng Yan.

To highlight the extraordinary luxury of the Huami Mobile, the scriptwriter had racked their brains to add scenes for the Huami Mobile.

According to the script, Sheng Yan had his eyes on the emerald and diamond necklace that He Jinxia was wearing around her neck. After a verbal sparring where neither gained the upper hand, they began to get physical.

Though He Jinxia was a skilled Female Thief and her fighting skills were no less than a man’s, she was facing Sheng Yan, ranked NO.1 in the world of thievery, and she couldn’t match his strength and tactics.

The two exchanged blows, using both cunning and overt strategies, but ultimately, it was Sheng Yan who broke through He Jinxia’s defenses and reached for the necklace on her neck.

Just as the necklace was about to be taken, at the critical moment, He Jinxia bent her body and flashed her mobile phone, blocking Sheng Yan’s hand.

Sheng Yan could only take the opportunity to steal He Jinxia’s mobile phone.

Since her mobile phone was taken by Sheng Yan, He Jinxia confronted him, continuously tracing Sheng Yan’s whereabouts to get her mobile back, and thus, the two thieves embarked on a happy, mutual thievery-filled life...

Cough, I digressed a bit.

Just as they were about to start shooting in the afternoon, the director suddenly called He Jinxia and Sheng Yan over in a hurry, handing them a new script.

Sheng Yan took the script calmly, without saying anything.

He Jinxia took the script and asked with a puzzled expression, "Director, what is this..."

The director said, "This is a script that the scriptwriter finished revising ten minutes ago. Don’t worry, the later parts of the plot haven’t changed, just this scene that you are shooting this afternoon has changed."

"I’ve already read the script, and I assure you, it just has a few more actions and scenes than the original script but is twice as exciting and looks really good!"

He Jinxia flipped through the script, her expression pausing briefly as she noticed the differences, her face showing a weird expression.

Indeed, there were a few more scenes than in the original script, but they weren’t a big deal for her. These scenes didn’t require the expression of complex emotions, it’s just that...

He Jinxia couldn’t help but clear her throat lightly, turning her head towards Sheng Yan, "Well, Brother Sheng Yan, are you okay with filming this, or should we consult with the agent?"

The new script had changed the interactions between her and Sheng Yan. The original interactions were quite normal, but the newly revised ones, for some reason, felt a bit ambiguous to her.

Sheng Yan glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "No need, I’m fine with it, all for a better presentation."

The director, hearing this, immediately relaxed.

Actually, this script was the first version; the script that He Jinxia and others had been given initially was the second version.

When this first version came out, everyone thought it was good. However, the company’s head thought that Sheng Yan might not agree to film those contents, so they had asked the scriptwriter to create a mediocre version as well.

Initially, the director also feared offending Sheng Yan and worried he would be upset if he saw the first version, so they had given them the second version, the mediocre one.

The mediocre version did produce some effects, but the problem was that Qin Siqin and Yu Yanyu were really dragging it down.

The director originally thought their performances were average; even a bit overdone would have been acceptable. However, after the shooting, he realized he had set his expectations too high.

It wasn’t just average; being passable was already pretty good.

Two out of the four actors had failed, so if the director wanted the short film to shine, he could only polish it up with He Jinxia and Sheng Yan. Thus, the first version of the script was used.

Hearing no objections from the two actors, the director decisively said, "You two rehearse together for ten minutes, and after ten minutes, I will shoot the latest version of the script."

He Jinxia and Sheng Yan nodded; they had no objections.

After the director left, He Jinxia glanced at Sheng Yan and couldn’t help but smile, feeling that the director’s approach was exactly what Sheng Yan wanted.

She snorted lightly, then turned and found a place to read through the script again.

It was then that Sheng Yan spoke, "Jinxia."

His voice was deep and mellow, like fine wine, irresistibly intoxicating.

He Jinxia was slightly stunned; this was the first time Sheng Yan had addressed her this way in public, stirring a strange feeling in her heart.

She turned to look at him, only to see Sheng Yan’s dark eyes intensely focused on her, earnestly saying, "I won’t let you."

—During the acting, I won’t let you.

He Jinxia’s competitive spirit was ignited, as well as her desire to excel.

A rush of blood surged to her chest, and with a smile curling her lips and her phoenix eyes gleaming brightly, she confidently said, "I won’t let you either."

Watching her retreating figure, a glint flashed in Sheng Yan’s eyes, and a sly smile briefly crossed his lips before disappearing.

After ten minutes, the competitive scene between He Jinxia and Sheng Yan officially began!

Many crew members in the hall were frequently glancing their way, very curious.

As an actor with accomplishments of a super celebrity and winner of two Movie King awards, Sheng Yan’s prowess was unquestionable.

He Jinxia was the most striking newcomer of the year, having starred in a movie and a TV series, and briefly ventured into a period drama. Although her repertoire was thin, online comments applauded her acting skills.

The spectable of the two stars clashing was something to behold.

The scene recorder hit the slate, and the expressions of the two stars instantly transformed.

He Jinxia, holding a glass of red wine, gently swirled it. The red liquid complemented her red lips.

She curled her lips slightly, her eyes narrowing, revealing the plump and rounded tear troughs beneath her eyes, making her look crafty yet adorable. She said with a smile, "Brother Sheng Yan, why are you blocking my way?"

At this moment, they were in a corridor, and He Jinxia had just left the banquet hall to go elsewhere, but she soon encountered Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan was wearing a sapphire blue suit, his hair meticulously styled and slicked down with hair product, and he also held a glass of wine. His lips curled up, his entire demeanor that of a frivolous, debauched rich young master.

His voice was very magnetic, enchanting from the moment he started speaking, "This road isn’t designated just for you, right?"

He Jinxia’s expression changed slightly, instantly judging him to be a dangerous man!

He knew his charm well, and knew exactly how to maximize it.
