Superstar's Development Diary
Chapter 452 - 453

Chapter 452: Chapter 453

The hotel had already cleared the outdoor swimming pool on the second floor for the diving scene.

At this time, only the crew members could enter.

Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the director below.

The director was intently watching through the lens, occasionally instructing the lighting team to move, striving for perfect lighting in the shot.

Suddenly, he froze, puzzled, as Sheng Yan appeared in the frame, looking right at him...

The director lifted his head and locked eyes with Sheng Yan’s dark pupils, at a loss for words.

The set was noisy, but the gaze between the two was so intense, it seemed to last a lifetime.

After a while, Sheng Yan gave up on trying to communicate with the foolish director through eye contact and turned his head towards the crowd below.

At that moment, as if enlightened, the foolish director followed the direction of Sheng Yan’s gaze and finally realized what was going on. He quickly shouted,

"Hey, all of you, get out of here! Who told you to come watch instead of shoot?

"Disperse, everyone, disperse!"

The onlooking crew members were reluctant; they thought they might witness Sheng Yan’s true physique.

After all, he was a superstar, one of the most handsome and charming stars in the world. Such a big perk of seeing him wet wasn’t something to miss!

Just as the crew members looked around and then back again, suddenly, Sheng Yan casually glanced at the entrance and saw He Jinxia.

His expression halted, his eyes flickered, and he instantly changed his mind.

Sheng Yan spoke, "Director."

His voice was low and rich, slightly raspy, carrying an undeniable presence.

Even though Sheng Yan was standing on the diving platform, the director still heard his voice and looked up at him, "Huh?"

Sheng Yan leisurely said, "Never mind, since everyone wants to watch, let them watch. We still have time, and after this scene, there aren’t many scenes left. Letting everyone relax a bit wouldn’t hurt."

The director was stunned, a hint of confusion crossing his eyes.

Wait, wasn’t Sheng Yan previously annoyed by the onlookers, hence using eye contact to hint at him to disperse them?

Why now...

Before the director could speak, other crew members who heard Sheng Yan cheered immediately, quickly spreading the word to those around them, and soon a bunch of people were cheering.

People elsewhere, not knowing why, saw the group cheering and joined in.

By the time the director came to, the entire outdoor swimming pool had turned into a sea of cheers and applause.

At this point, what else could the director say? With a grand gesture, he just went ahead with the shoot!

He Jinxia was pushed forward by Qin Siqin, who kept shouting, "Make way, make way, everyone! Give us some space here; ladies first!"

He Jinxia’s face turned slightly dark. It was her idea to come and see Sheng Yan’s "wet look," but once they arrived, Qin Siqin was even more excited than she was.

Qin Siqin dragged her forward relentlessly, under the pretense of giving her a good view of Sheng Yan’s physique.

He Jinxia was speechless inside. Was it her begging to be so aggressive?

Finally, they made their way to the forefront of the crowd. As everyone else began taking photos and videos with their mobile phones, so did Qin Siqin eagerly, preparing to take hundreds of continuous shots.

He Jinxia looked up at Sheng Yan on the diving board, and didn’t reach for her phone. Compared to her phone, she trusted her eyes more.

She thought that the most spectacular moment should be witnessed by the eyes. What one saw on the phone still differed greatly from reality.

Moreover, everyone was using phones, not high-definition cameras. To get high-definition photos, one needed a high-definition camera.

While she was thinking this, He Jinxia saw a staff member nearby pull out a portable camera and mutter while aiming it at Sheng Yan, "I wonder how much money a photo of male god’s physique could fetch."

He Jinxia: "..." She had nothing to say.

"Hey, he’s about to jump, he’s getting ready to jump!" someone shouted loudly, and He Jinxia hurriedly looked up.

The winter sun was not blinding at all, and it draped over Sheng Yan like a thin layer of golden gauze. Facing the sunlight, Sheng Yan’s features seemed even more handsome like celestial beings. Then, he started to run—

One step, two steps, three steps, jump!!

His speed was unbelievably fast. Sheng Yan’s figure stayed in He Jinxia’s eyes for only a moment before quickly disappearing.

With a "splash," water sprayed everywhere as Sheng Yan had plunged into the pool.

"The most thrilling moment has arrived, is Sheng Yan’s physique really as good as the rumors say!"

"Ah, I can’t wait, will it be a white-cut chicken kind of physique or the legendary eight-pack abs?"

"I see a dark shadow in the water, come on, float to the surface, float up!!"

...

Noisy clamor continued to reach He Jinxia’s ears, making her feel that she, as the official girlfriend, was not as excited as everyone else. Emmm, perhaps because she had touched it before?

With a splash, Sheng Yan’s head emerged from the water. He swam to the steps of the pool, walking up them one by one.

The wet shirt did not disappoint and turned transparent, clinging tightly to Sheng Yan’s skin, clearly displaying his physique.

Someone suddenly exclaimed,

"One pack, two packs, three packs...Damn, there are wrinkles on the shirt, I can’t count clearly, is it six packs or eight packs? Did you see?!"

Unfortunately, no one responded to her.

Compared to others frantically taking photos, He Jinxia stood out a bit awkwardly; she didn’t take photos but stared fixedly at Sheng Yan.

Poor heaven, she didn’t want to stare at all. She had some sense of decency, but... cough cough, human instinct, she couldn’t help it.

While others might have focused all their attention on Sheng Yan’s abs, He Jinxia took one look and felt that his chest was particularly eye-catching (covering face).

He Jinxia coughed lightly, silently chanting the Heart Clarity Spell in her mind.

Soon, an assistant passed a blanket to Sheng Yan, covering up the scene.

An assistant also handed Sheng Yan a hot water bottle, as catching a cold in this cold weather was the worst—it would take a week to recover.

After a brief treatment, Sheng Yan immediately left the scene; he needed to change into a clean set of clothes.

As soon as Sheng Yan had gone, the director started to shoo people away: "Disperse, disperse, you have other shooting tasks to complete, hurry on!"

When shooing people away, the director saw Qin Siqin and He Jinxia, and said to them, "Now we only need you three for the withdrawal scenes. The parts actually aren’t difficult. Just do well, and we might be able to wrap up by evening and catch the hotel’s buffet dinner."

Since they had filmed late yesterday and had missed the dinner service, and the Imperial City First Hotel’s buffet was famously varied and delicious, this had the director nagging all day long, almost causing calluses on the ears of the other stars!

Qin Siqin quickly pulled He Jinxia to leave the set, not daring to make any promises to the director. She feared being caught by the director and nagged until the short film shooting ended!
