Chinese Entertainment 2014: Young Actresses Are Becoming Dazzling

Chapter 46 Jimei University, Scene 1

Jimei University is currently in the midst of a hot summer, with lush green trees lining the campus and the red brick buildings looking particularly beautiful in the sunlight.

When the film crew's convoy drove into the campus, the entire school was in an uproar.

For college students, it's still a very novel thing for a film crew to come to the school to shoot, especially since the director is Su Youpeng and the lead actors include a talent show star like Ou Hao.

Before the film crew arrived, posters of the main actors from "The Left Ear" were already plastered all over the school, and many people knew that the film crew was coming to the campus today.

So early in the morning, the school gate was crowded with people. Some came because of the trend, but most of them wanted to see Xu Yifang after seeing the poster.

The scene was so lively that it looked like the crew had deliberately arranged for online trolls to join in.

When the film crew's bus turned into the school gate, Su Yu and the others were startled.

"Wow, is this your fan?"

"No, I don't have that many fans."

"Which of us has that many fans?"

"Anyway, I don't."

The group was quite self-aware. "Could these be paid trolls hired by the director?" Chen Duling asked timidly.

At this moment, Su Youpeng, who was sitting in the front of the car, also noticed that something was wrong.

What's going on? Wasn't the venue arranged in advance? Are some leaders coming to inspect today? Why is it so lively?

"Director Su, are all these people your fans?"

Looking at the school gate that was completely surrounded, the assistant director couldn't help but nudge Su Youpeng with his elbow.

"oh!"

Su Youpeng scratched his head, somewhat at a loss. The venue had already been arranged, and it seemed to be the only possibility. So, he said somewhat shyly:

"I guess...right? Hehe, wait for me to come downstairs. We might have to go in a little later today, all that autographs and photos is such a hassle!"

He immediately rolled down the car window and shouted to the crowd, "Good morning, students!"

Unexpectedly, a series of shouts came through the car window: "Xu Yi! Xu Yi! Xu Yi!"

"We want to see Xu Yi!"

"Director Su! Has Xu Yi arrived?!"

Su Youpeng awkwardly closed the window, glanced at Su Yu behind him, and thought to himself: This brat always manages to steal the spotlight wherever he goes!

The students were so enthusiastic, Su Youpeng didn't want to spoil their fun. Besides, this was his debut work, and it would be good for him and his "children" to gain more public favor.

One by one, everyone got off the bus. Of course, when Su Yu stepped off the bus wearing the white shirt school uniform that was part of the costume, the screams from the girls around him were noticeably louder.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Who is that?! He's so handsome!"

"I don't know! Is it some newly debuted idol?!"

"No way! I've never seen this face before! That waist! Those legs! Oh my god, I'm going to die!"

"It looks like the actor who plays Xu Yi! His name is Su Yu! I saw it yesterday when I was browsing the school's online forum!"

"Didn't you all see the posters put up at school? This is Xu Yi!"

"Xu Yi!! Xu Yi ahhhhh!!!"

The news of Xu Yi's arrival spread like wildfire across the campus. Now, almost everyone in the school knew about "Xu Yi" and the "Left Ear" crew through various means and channels.

When the film crew set up their equipment at the first filming location, a tree-lined avenue, thousands of students had already gathered around, making the entire road completely blocked.

Looking at the sea of ​​people, Su Youpeng felt both worried and happy.

"I've saved on extra fees," he thought smugly.

However, their idea was quite naive. With the help of the school security guards, it took them a lot of effort to clear a suitable area for filming. The students were still gathered not far away, shouting "Xu Yi, Xu Yi!"

The first scene of the day was a solo performance by Xu Yi after transferring schools, walking alone on campus. Apart from the extras, only Chen Duling acted with him, or rather, it was more like she was "following" him.

It was the first time Chen Duling had ever seen such a scene, and she was very nervous and a little scared, her palms sweating.

However, after hearing calls of "Xu Yi" in the distance and realizing that not many people seemed to be paying attention to her, she relaxed considerably.

She looked at Su Yu in the center of the arena with some admiration. How could he remain so calm when so many people were calling his name?

If it were her, she would have been overjoyed.

Su Yu stood on the tree-lined path, sunlight filtering through the leaves overhead and casting dappled shadows on him.

On the lawns along the tree-lined avenue, students sat in twos and threes, reading and chatting.

Su Yu stood in the center of the arena, closed his eyes to prepare his emotions, and envisioned the scene to come. Then he silently opened the entry.

When he opened his eyes again, he was completely in the zone, and his demeanor was completely different.

Xu Yi.

He is Xu Yi.

That handsome, unaware, sunny boy who transferred to the school for the first time.

"Alright, all departments, get ready!"

As soon as Su Youpeng shouted through the megaphone, the surrounding cheers stopped in unison, and everyone stared intently at Su Yu in the arena.

"start!"

With a "start" signal, Su Yu lowered his head slightly, picked up his schoolbag, and slowly walked along the tree-lined path.

Sunlight fell on his profile, casting a soft shadow between his brow bone and the bridge of his nose.

The collar of the white shirt was slightly open, rising gently in a graceful arc with each step.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the boy's silhouette appeared aloof and distant. This was a completely unfamiliar campus, and at this moment, he had isolated himself from it.

It was as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.

The camera followed Su Yu, moving slowly with his footsteps.

The lush green corridor, the dappled light and shadow, the quiet boy—everything was so perfect, it seemed like it had been copied directly from a novel.

Su Youpeng stared intently at the monitor, holding his breath.

The assistant director standing nearby was also holding his breath. He had filmed too many campus dramas, but he knew very well that there were very few actors who could capture the feeling of youth, and even fewer actors who were the right age and had good acting skills.

So for Su Yu, this isn't a problem that acting skills can solve; it's a quality, a state of being.

But at this moment, Su Yu is the epitome of youthful spirit.

In the shot, several extras playing female students walk past Su Yu according to their predetermined positions.

As required by the script, they secretly turned to look at him, whispered to each other, and let out restrained but irrepressible giggles.

But the reality on the scene was that these female students were not acting at all.

They were really peeking, really whispering, and really laughing.

"Did you see that? Did you see that? Xu Yi is so handsome..."

"I know, I know! I almost bumped into a tree when I walked past!"

"His legs are so long, and his waist is so nice..."

"Hey, you're drooling!"

"Hahaha, you're such a fangirl!"

The girls were playfully bickering, and their whispers were recorded by the microphone, making them even more vivid than any dialogue.

Within the camera's view, Li Er, played by Chen Duling, is standing under a large banyan tree, holding a book in her hands, quietly watching Su Yu's back.
