Chinese Entertainment 2014: Young Actresses Are Becoming Dazzling

Chapter 45 The Seaside, the Sea Breeze, and the Boy

A moment later, Su Youpeng sat behind the monitor, watching Ou Hao's performance on camera, and slapped his thigh in satisfaction.

"Cut! That's perfect! Ou Hao, you've finally got it!"

Ou Hao felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders and almost collapsed to the ground.

The staff around couldn't help but applaud, and even Rao Xueman smiled and nodded.

Ou Hao rushed to Su Yu immediately, and said excitedly, "Brother Yu, thank you so much, I really don't know how to thank you."

"No need to thank me, all newcomers are like this, keep up the good work!" Su Yu smiled faintly and patted him on the shoulder.

Ou Hao nodded firmly, secretly vowing in his heart that he would work ten times, a hundred times harder, and that he was determined to befriend Su Yu!

"Alright, alright! Get ready for the next match!"

The film crew carried various equipment out of the alley, and the view suddenly opened up, with a sea breeze blowing in their faces.

Su Yu took a deep breath and followed everyone to the beach.

Su Youpeng's loudspeaker blared again, "Su Yu, Ma Sichun, it's your turn! All departments, take your positions!"

Su Yu changed into Xu Yi's white shirt school uniform. A sea breeze blew, and the hem of the shirt fluttered gently, revealing the boy's somewhat thin but sturdy waist.

Ma Sichun was already standing over there.

Today she was wearing a white tank top with a red off-shoulder cover-up, a white skirt, and her hair was tied in a side ponytail. In the sunlight, she exuded youthful vitality, both innocent and alluring.

Let alone Xu Yi, I believe most boys couldn't resist Li Bala during their youth.

Seeing Su Yu approach, Ma Sichun took the initiative to go forward, stood in front of him, gave him a sweet look, and straightened his clothes.

"Can you walk normally now?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it'll be turned on soon!"

She spoke softly, a blush creeping onto her face.

On the side of the film set, Chen Duling moved a folding chair, held a bag of potato chips, and stared at the two people on the beach with bright eyes.

"Hiss, these two are getting weirder and weirder," she muttered to herself.

"All departments, prepare—Action!"

At Su Youpeng's command, the entire venue fell silent.

On the beach, the sun shines brightly and the sea breeze is gentle.

Su Yu carried his schoolbag and walked slowly along the coastline.

His profile was silhouetted against the backlight, his white shirt fluttering in the sea breeze.

Ma Sichun caught up with him a few steps behind, grinning.

Her steps were light and quick, like a kite being released into the sky; in the sunlight, she was radiant.

"Xu Yi!"

She spoke, her voice clear and crisp, yet with a slightly sticky quality, unknowingly creating a connection between the two of them.

Su Yu stopped and turned to look at her.

The boy's face was expressionless, but there was a subtle shift in his eyes.

At this moment, Xu Yi was indifferent to Li Bala, but he was more like the aloofness of a "school heartthrob". So he wasn't expressionless, but he pretended not to care even though he saw her.

Ma Sichun took another step forward and looked up at him.

The sea breeze ruffled her hair, with a few strands sticking to the corners of her mouth, but she didn't care. She just smiled and looked up at the boy who was a head taller than her.

Sunlight shone on her smooth forehead, and her eyes, slightly squinted as they met the light, shone exceptionally brightly.

"oops!"

Ma Sichun suddenly covered her eyes with her hands and exclaimed dramatically, "I got sand in my eyes, Xu Yi, come and take a look!"

Su Yu frowned, somewhat disdainfully, and said, "Can't you massage it yourself?"

"You're close enough, can you blow on it for me?"

Ma Sichun covered her eyes, but pressed her body against him.

Su Yu hesitated for a moment, but still bent down slightly and got closer to her face.

Just then.

Ma Sichun suddenly stood on tiptoe, cupped Su Yu's face in her hands, and quickly kissed him on the corner of his mouth.

The "pop" sound was still clearly audible in the surging sea breeze.

Su Yu's eyes widened, and he suddenly took a step back, looking like a frightened little white rabbit with an innocent expression.

"you!"

"hey-hey."

Ma Sichun lowered her hand from her eyes, winked at him, and said, "Thanks, Xu."

Su Yu stared at her for two seconds, his expression shifting from shock to anger and embarrassment. He picked up his backpack from the beach with one hand and strode forward without looking back.

"Xu Yi! Xu Yi!"

Ma Sichun chased after him, her skirt fluttering, her laughter carried long and deep by the sea breeze.

The sounds of waves, wind, and laughter mingled together, and the youthful energy of the boys and girls seemed to overflow from the camera screen.

"Click!!"

Su Youpeng jumped up from behind the monitor, his hat tilting to one side in his excitement.

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible! You two!"

He pointed at the two of them incoherently.

"One take! The spark! The feeling! I've seen countless films about teenagers made by other directors! This one is the most explosive! There's no more to film! There's no more to film!"

Rao Xueman, who witnessed everything on set, also covered her mouth excitedly, her eyes slightly red.

Although she had imagined the scenes from these books countless times in her mind, seeing them come to life in person still struck her deeply.

That youthful exuberance, the girl's initiative, and the boy's shyness and annoyance—it's all right, all right!

Applause and cheers erupted on set.

"Oh oh oh oh oh—Su Yu! Ma Sichun!"

"Want one more?"

"These two have amazing chemistry!"

Chen Duling sat on the folding chair, unaware that the potato chips in her hand had fallen all over the floor.

She stared at the two people on the beach with her mouth agape, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Chun Jie's acting was so convincing! That kiss, was it real??

She wrinkled her nose, stuffed a handful of potato chips into her mouth, and chewed them with extra force.

At that moment, Su Yu and Ma Sichun were walking back to the film set side by side. Ma Sichun walked next to Su Yu, her heart pounding like a drum.

The script only described the kiss as "Li Bala leaned in and kissed Xu Yi."

She did indeed lean in and kiss him.

But she herself couldn't say for sure whether she was Ma Sichun or Li Bala at that moment.

When acting with Su Yu, she could always easily get into character. At that moment, she felt as if she had really returned to the age of seventeen or eighteen, walking on the beach with the boy she liked, and then making up a lame excuse just to kiss him.

When she tiptoed and touched that warm spot, her whole body trembled, like a teenage girl who had just tasted forbidden fruit.

The joy and excitement after the kiss were genuine.

She had never felt this way in her entire life.

Weren't you getting a little too into it just now?

Su Yu turned his head to the side and said in a low voice.

Ma Sichun glared at him guiltily: "Professionalism! This is just my professionalism!"

"Oh~"

The crew members all looked at the two of them with ambiguous and teasing eyes, and whispers rose and fell among them.

Su Youpeng patted Su Yu on the shoulder with a smile: "Good lad, you're my lucky star. I'll look for you again for my next film."

Su Yu chuckled, wondering if Director Su would have a sequel.

Only Ou Hao stood in the corner, silently watching this scene, his eyes as firm as if he were about to join the Party.

"Brother Yu is amazing! He always gets it right in one take. I have to work harder and not let him down!" He clenched his fist and turned back to study the script.

A week later, the crew of "The Left Ear" finished all the outdoor scenes on Dongshan Island. After the location was coordinated, the large group headed to Jimei University in Xiamen.
