The next scene featured Ju Xian, Duan Xiao Lou, and Cheng Die Yi.
This was a scene where Gong Li, Su Han, and Gege were acting together.
The general content of this scene was Ju Xian coming to find Duan Xiao Lou, asking him to marry her, then Cheng Die Yi becoming jealous and leaving angrily.
"Lights, ready!"
"Actors, camera ready!"
"Action!"
The assistant director shouted, and everyone on set entered a state of intense focus.
This scene first involved Gong Li and Su Han acting together, while Gege and Chen Kaige watched the monitor.
A close-up shot of Gong Li, her eyes shimmering with crystalline tears.
She stood piteously at the doorway.
"Oh, why have you come here?"
Closing her eyes, she wept.
Su Han, draped in a jacket, was all smiles, perfectly embodying Duan Xiao Lou's demeanor.
"What is it again, Ju Xian?"
"Come, come, come inside, come in and talk."
Gong Li pulled Su Han, drawing him out of the door.
"You come out."
"Hey? Why are you barefoot?"
"It's so cold today."
"What happened?"
Gong Li feigned a cry, half covering her mouth, "I was kicked out."
"Hua Man Lou doesn't keep those who have been married."
Gege and Chen Kaige, watching the scene being filmed, nodded and conversed.
"He acts so well."
"Mm, he's quite good."
"Good, cut!"
This segment of the scene concluded.
"Director Chen, how was it?"
Su Han and Gong Li ran up, asking Chen Kaige humbly.
Chen Kaige smiled kindly. "Mm, very good."
"This take is good."
"Prepare for the next scene."
The next scene featured Gege's appearance.
Gege put on his white stage makeup as Yu Ji, and donned his costume.
The camera swept from left to right through the window.
Following Gege's figure.
Gege, who had a slight smile on his face, saw Gong Li crying in front of Su Han. His smile froze completely.
Gong Li, in the midst of her tears, stopped when she saw Gege.
Gege and Gong Li looked at each other.
Seeing Gege, Su Han walked over and pulled him forward, "Come, come, come over, come meet."
"This is Miss Ju Xian."
"This is my junior fellow apprentice, take a good look, he plays Yu Ji."
"Oh. Xiao Lou often mentions you, I've heard enough to feel like we're old acquaintances."
Gong Li wore a very ingratiating smile.
"Oh... Miss Ju Xian, excuse me."
Gege's face was devoid of any smile, and he didn't pretend. After speaking, he turned and walked back into the room, closing the door.
He showed his displeasure directly, giving no quarter.
Gege portrayed Cheng Die Yi's jealousy to perfection.
Su Han turned back to look at Gong Li.
Gong Li collected herself. "Xiao Lou, that day at Hua Man Lou, if you hadn't caught me from below, I would have been in the earth long ago."
As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look directly at Su Han, her eyes alight. "That cup of betrothal wine, you drank half of it first."
"Ju Xian's life is bitter."
"If you take her in, someone will serve you like an ox or a horse."
"If you dislike her, at most, she'll jump back off the building."
After Gong Li finished speaking, she turned to look at Su Han.
Ju Xian's methods were far superior to Yu Ji's.
Gong Li's eyes glistened with tears. Su Han flung the coat draped over his shoulders in the air, shaking it out.
Then, he put the coat on Ju Xian.
The extras on set exclaimed loudly, "Wow, I'm impressed!"
"This is a huge drama!"
"When is the wedding night?"
"Tonight."
"And also, you must hold the betrothal ceremony in front of all the masters of the troupe."
"I want to enter your Duan family with honor."
"You think I'm cutting corners? Tonight I'll have the betrothal ceremony!"
It was truly impressive for a courtesan from a flower house to directly demand marriage.
The set was filled with shouts of approval and commotion, very lively.
"Click~"
Just then, the door behind them opened.
Gege emerged, emanating an aura of defiance.
Gege approached with anger.
"Miss Ju Xian, where did you learn to act?"
"Oh, I've never learned to act."
"Never learned? Then don't put on a show of melodrama."
