Chapter 330 Entertainment Circle (3)
Shen Xichao left the lounge and went to discuss cooperation with the script director selected by Yan Qing.
It was not until this moment that Yan Qing finally relaxed completely.
She asked softly in her sea of consciousness: "12, where is the current plot progress bar?"
After checking, 012 said, "Yan Yan, we have already completed one third of the plot. I guess it will increase a lot after you meet the male lead."
Yan Qing nodded and smiled: "Well, the plot of this small world is not difficult, it should be able to end quickly."
012 also nodded heavily, very confident.
After all, every step of the story from the time he and Yanyan came to this small world to now has been smooth.
Moreover, the flow of time in this small world is relatively normal. It is not like the previous small world where the time may take decades or even hundreds of years.
Most of Yan Yan's main plot points are concentrated on riding on the popularity and committing suicide after the collaboration with the male lead Lu Sinian. As long as nothing unexpected happens later, the plot line can be completed quickly.
After Yan Qing had a brief exchange with 012, she lowered her eyes slightly and refocused her attention on the script in her hand that would involve her working with the male lead.
In the original plot, the scene where she collaborated with the male lead was only mentioned briefly without too much detailed description.
But since Yan Qing is going to film this drama now, she must first take a general look at the script to understand the plot of the role she is going to play.
[This play is set in the Republic of China period, when the country was plagued by internal and external troubles.
The warlords were divided into factions, each forming its own faction, among which three major factions were the most powerful.
In the script, the protagonist's father is the commander-in-chief of one of the three major factions.
The male protagonist was also respectfully called the Young Marshal and was sent to the West by his father to study for a year.
The play opens with the hero just returning from abroad and being dragged by his best friend to watch a play. He meets the heroine who is singing Farewell My Concubine on stage at the time and is attracted to her.
Later, under the influence of the heroine, the hero realized that if the current situation continued without making other changes, the country would sooner or later fall apart and be annexed by outsiders.
In the end, the male protagonist chose to betray his own class and resolutely devoted himself to the revolutionary cause.
The heroine is apparently a famous figure in Guangping City, but in fact she has already joined the revolutionary cause.
Relying on her identity as an actress, the heroine moves among various forces and delivers important intelligence to the organization many times.
At the same time, he used his status to assassinate some traitorous officials.
Until an operation encountered an accident. Although the heroine obtained important information that could change the situation, her identity was in danger of being exposed, and the information was even more difficult to send out.
At the critical moment, the male protagonist stepped forward, pretending to reveal his flaws and drawing the suspicion of outsiders onto himself.
The heroine took this opportunity to escape and successfully sent the information back to the organization. When she was about to go back to find the hero, she found that the man who smiled and said to her at that time, "I am the young marshal, even if others want to touch me, they have to think twice," had endured all kinds of torture in the cell and never confessed anything about her, and was dying.
It was not until the heroine found a way to enter the dungeon and looked him in the eye from afar across the crowd that the hero's breath, which was forced out of worry, finally dissipated, and he finally slept forever in that dungeon that never saw the sun.
The heroine is heartbroken, but the revolution has not yet succeeded, so she cannot stop. She can only quickly cheer herself up, taking the hero's share, and continue on her journey.
Specialized in carrying out the most dangerous missions.
Later, the heroine returned to the stage to perform in order to cover up another companion who rescued an important figure in the organization.
Sing Farewell My Concubine on the high platform to attract a high-ranking enemy official who loves to listen to opera, and buy time for your companions to retreat.
The truth was eventually revealed. The moment she stepped onto the stage, the heroine knew there was no way back.
This time, no one took on everything for her, so she became the one who took on everything for others.
The bullet hit her heart, and she happened to be on the stage performing the scene where Yu Ji drew her sword and committed suicide...
At the end of the play, the dawn has not yet arrived, but the spark has already turned into a raging fire, illuminating half of the sky...】
The script in Yan Qing's hand only gave a rough summary of the plot, with the main content still on the heroine's lines.
After reading the entire script, Yan Qing had a pretty good idea of the character's psychology.
She closed the script again and now just waited for news from Shen Xichao.
Taking advantage of the little time now, Yan Qing leaned back on the sofa, ready to close his eyes and take a nap.
She got up at four in the morning today to attend to the announcements and now she is really tired.
Moreover, there is a commercial that needs to be shot in the afternoon, so I need to get more energy.
Not long after, the door of the lounge was pushed open again. Shen Xichao was just about to tell Yan Qing that he had secured the female lead. The director of the play originally wanted to invite Yan Qing to star in it, which was why the discussion was so quick.
However, when Shen Xichao's gaze fell on the scene indoors, the words he was about to say suddenly stopped.
Under the warm yellow light, Yan Qing leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed and fell into a deep sleep. His usually cold eyebrows were softened by the light, and the script that he had been holding in his hand was also scattered on the sofa.
He looked like a defenseless newcomer.
Shen Xichao's eyelashes trembled, and the light in his eyes behind the lenses was deep and unclear. He closed the door of the lounge with his backhand to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
After doing all this, Shen Xichao stepped towards Yan Qing. His footsteps were so light that they made almost no sound.
After walking close to Yan Qing, Shen Xichao bent down and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to gather the hair that fell on Yan Qing's cheek.
But in the end, Shen Xichao sighed softly, and his slender fingers changed direction and picked up the script that fell on the sofa.
Some of the pages had some marks from being pressed.
Shen Xichao sat on the sofa next to him. He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow, covering the true emotions in his eyes. He ran his fingers over the wrinkles on the paper, trying to flatten them bit by bit.
The room was extremely quiet, and time seemed to have lengthened at this moment.
Until a cell phone rang, breaking the silence in the room.
Shen Xichao raised his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound, his eyes were frighteningly cold for a moment.
But when he saw that it was the alarm set on Yan Qing’s phone, he paused, as if he remembered something.
According to the original schedule, Aqing had to shoot a commercial in the afternoon, and he had just forgotten about this matter.
It was only when I saw the time displayed on the alarm clock that I remembered this matter.
Shen Xichao raised his hand to turn off the alarm without any hesitation. He did not intend to wake up Yan Qing, but took out his mobile phone and prepared to contact the partner to postpone the photo shoot so that Yan Qing could rest for a while.
Besides, Shen Xichao did not agree with Yan Qing's itinerary for today from the beginning.
It was too rushed and he didn't want Aqing to be too tired.
But he agreed only because Ah Qing insisted. Now that she finally got some rest, he didn't want to wake her up.
