Chapter 57: Can't Laugh

  If I were just a cold moon, or if I could smile brightly at you with all my heart. But I am not myself, there is still an envoy of hatred living in my body.

  Cold Moon

  Good heavens, they're either distracted or their expressions are off, and even when their expressions finally match, the two of them are walking in different directions... How can we continue filming like this? This is such a simple emotional scene, anyone can do it with ease, but they've done so many takes already and still can't get it right.

  "Who said it yesterday, boasting as if it were true."

  "I can act too."

  "So this can also participate, is it just good-looking?"

  The situation was not right, Jing Ping shouted for a rest. Han Yue and Su Yi Tian sat down separately without saying a word.

  "Don't rush, take it slow." Jing Hui smiled and shook his head. Han Yue and Su Yi Tian were acting like their usual selves, but they were currently filming a movie, and continuing on like this wasn't going to work.

  Han Yue looked at Su Yitian, who was sitting next to Ye Xue, and coincidentally, Su Yitian also looked back at her. The two people's lines of sight met, but there were no ripples, and the calmness was a bit strange.

  "Sui Tian, Xiao Yue, have you two taken the wrong medicine or something? This is utterly absurd." Lai Huo Ling was so anxious on their behalf, with so many people watching them, how could they suddenly forget how to act out such a simple scene.

  Han Yue and Su Yi Tian walked back to the shooting point again, ready to shoot once more.

  "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Han Yue suddenly asked, how can someone like Su Yi Tian endure so many failures.

  "Everyone who came today is here to see your joke." Su Yitian shook his head and suddenly smiled, "Why didn't you treat me as Jingyuan to perform today?"

  "What about you? Don't take me for Ye Xue?" Han Yue looked at Su Yitian and retorted casually.

  It really made me imagine myself as someone else, but I'm not. Yesterday, I accidentally got into character and was trapped in it for an entire afternoon. Su Yitian's eyes turned cold and he said indifferently, "Acting ultimately faces the person in front of you, imagination will only restrict your performance."

  Han Yue's eyebrows and eyes rose slightly as she suddenly smiled: "Can you act well?"

  "It's such a simple play, but only you can't act it out." Su Yitian sarcastically said to Han Yue, earlier he himself didn't think she was acting at all and he also didn't bother to cooperate.

  "Who says I won't." Han Yue muttered to herself, this scene didn't require too much positive emotion, just a slight investment would be enough to act it out well. Just now, Xing Xiu was just being stubborn, who knows what that guy wants to do again.

  "Pass, prepare for the next one." Jing Ting shouted with satisfaction.

  "I didn't expect you to change so quickly." Su Yitian still had that aloof attitude.

  "Thank you for the compliment."

  "Finally passed." Lai Huo felt relieved.

  The next scene is after entering the peach forest, Huáng Yīng holds a sword and raises the sword wind, making the peach 'flowers' dance in the air. The two walk together in the sky filled with dancing peaches, their feelings progress further. Now, Hán Yuè and Sū Yī Tiān only need to perform an empty-handed duet on a vacant lot, pretending to play in the peach forest, while the background of the peach blossom forest will be added through computer synthesis.

  This play is supposed to pretend to appreciate the 'flower' petals flying together, and also assume that they are separated by trees, looking at each other and laughing, so the emotional atmosphere of this play should be very happy and romantic. Hmm, it should be like this, but reality is often not as desired.

  Just now, there wasn't much emotional acting, so even if two people who can't blend in could act well. Now they have to face each other and show happy smiles. This scene undoubtedly failed miserably, half an hour has passed, and such a short shot has been filmed for so long without success.

  "Bitter month! Laugh, will you laugh?!" Jia Si Min suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth as she shouted.

  "Brother! Don't laugh so terrifyingly, Huáng Fēng is an assassin, but he doesn't want to kill Qīn Yuè, he should be laughing happily now." Su Yì Xiáng was also on the side, dying from laughter.

  Lai Huo Ling leaned against Ye Xue, looking half-dead and weak: "Xue Er, do you think if they continue like this, will their mouth corners twitch?"

  Ye Xueben was originally helpless, but Lai Huo Ling's words made him laugh. The onlookers also got tired of gossiping and sat on the ground with their chins in their hands, watching how they would continue to perform.

  Suoyi Tian and Han Yue repeatedly came back, but as soon as they were about to laugh, Jia Si Min would glare at them and shout "come again".

  Su Yi Xiang couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to stand in front of Han Yue: "I'll do it, I'll do it! Let me try, Little Moon, smile at me."

  "Su Yi Xiang!" Han Yue asked coldly, she was already about to get annoyed to death, and Su Yi Xiang still came to stir up trouble.

  "No, I'm here to help you practice. Come on, smile at me." Su Yixiang said with a smile, curving up the corners of his mouth and revealing a happy grin.

  "Okay, I'll try." Han Yue saw Su Yi Xiang helping her so seriously and calmed down, trying several times until Su Yi Xiang was about to get impatient again. The happy smile gradually infected Han Yue. Han Yue slowly smiled, a natural smile that came from the heart, even with a hint of tenderness.

  "Xiao Yue, you...you're smiling like that." Su Yi Xiang was stunned for a moment, then retreated with his mission accomplished.

  Su Yixiang's commotion once again enlivened the crowd, who were now eager to see how things would unfold next.

  "Once more." The silent Jing suddenly spoke up.

  "Sui Tian! Try smiling at Ye Xue like that, see if Ye Xue still talks to you." Still the same, not a bit of change, Jia Si Min is about to go crazy. A fake smile, "Heavens, it's enough to suffocate someone!" "Han Yue, do you also smile at Jing Ying like this? Can't you put some effort into it?! Ah, do you guys even want to act anymore?"

  Su Yi furrowed his brow, glanced at Jia Si Min, threw down his sword and sat down somewhere with a very calm expression. Han Yue was stunned, standing there motionless.

  "Alright, they're not in good shape now, let's take it again this afternoon!" Jing Rui stood up and patted Xu Qing's shoulder to let him rest.

  "Han Yue, you should help Su Yitian practice his sword skills first, there's no time to waste." Jia Si Min sat down on one side, huffing and puffing, and stopped talking.

  "Xuan Qing, you teach him." Han Yue directly threw the sword to Xuan Qing and walked away without even changing out of her costume.

  Jing Hui hesitated for a moment before following after him.

  "You also know swordsmanship?" Lai Huo Ling looked at Xuan Qing and asked, she knew too little about Xuan Qing's affairs, suddenly feeling that she was very far away from him.

  "We both learned from Grandmaster." Xuan Qing smiled, "Sui Tian, let's find a place to practice."

  Han Yue stopped after walking for a while, and Jing Rong caught up to comfort her: "Little Moon is not in good shape today, don't worry, take it slow."

  "I couldn't laugh." Han Yue's tone was very helpless, perhaps she shouldn't have agreed to participate in the first place. Yesterday's method was unbearable for her, but without using that method, she couldn't bring herself to laugh at Su Yitian either.

  "Why?" Because Su Yitian is the object of your revenge, or because you're afraid that once you enter the play, you can't exit, Jing Wei sighed, "You can imagine the person in front of you as me, just like yesterday."

  Han Yue thought of that uncontrollable feeling after getting into character, her heart skipped a beat, uncomfortable, and even somewhat 'excited' as she said: "Jing Ai, he's not you, I like you, but I don't like him, I hate... never mind, I want to take a walk alone."

  Looking at Han Yue leaving in anger, Jing Huan sighed. Little Moon, you finally got angry with me, no longer treating me like your brother, but if things go on like this, doesn't it also mean our relationship is getting more and more dangerous?

  Han Yue was strolling in the park when she unexpectedly ran into Chen Wu, a somewhat dangerous character whom she hadn't seen for some time and had almost forgotten.

  "I heard you're filming, so I came to take a look." Chen Wu measured Han Yue with a gaze, still with that smile, that familiar sly smile. "It seems to be the case, but your acting skills are really too poor."

  "What's it to you?" Han Yue said calmly. She had always kept a distance from Chen Wu. Chen Wu knew many things, and Han Yue had to be on guard against him, lest he see through anything.

  "Since you're a chivalrous woman, let's practice." Chen Wu said as she raised her fist. Han Yue dodged just in time, barely avoiding the blow.

  "You can't laugh because you hate him." In just a few moves, Chen Wu grabbed Han Yue's hand and twisted it back, his words shocking.

  Han Yue turned around and dissipated, unhappy with the Dao: "You're talking nonsense!"
