Chinese Entertainment 2014: Young Actresses Are Becoming Dazzling

Chapter 47 The Campus Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom

Chen Duling has no lines in this scene, but her eyes are sparkling.

That cautious, fearful yet irresistible gaze is a young girl's most secret secret.

Chen Duling barely acted; she simply stood there, watching Su Yu's back.

Sunlight bathed the ground, and the boy's figure walked further and further away.

She suddenly remembered the narration in the script: God is my witness, Li Er is a good girl.

At this moment, she truly is a good girl.

She was looking at Xu Yi, and also at Su Yu.

She liked watching Xu Yi, and she also liked watching Su Yu.

Only God knows the truth about this.

"Click! Perfect!"

Su Youpeng's voice changed when he yelled "Cut!" "That was so evocative, so perfect!! Duling, that look you gave me just now was amazing, just like those little girls who had a crush on me back in school, exactly the same!"

Su Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this. Chen Duling hadn't yet detached herself from the role, and as if her secret had been exposed, her pretty little face turned red instantly.

She secretly glanced at Su Yu, who was walking back, and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that he didn't seem to notice her expression.

Coordinating personnel and managing the scene, this scene was filmed around 3 PM.

There are no scenes scheduled for Su Yu and Chen Duling this afternoon, so the crew will temporarily move to a location near Jimei University to film scenes featuring Ou Hao and Ma Sichun.

"Su Yu, Du Ling, you two are free this afternoon. You can take your time to explore the school and get a feel for it."

Su Yu nodded, seemingly understanding, "Just the two of us?"

"What else? Should I order a few more models for you?"

Su Youpeng waved his hand and pointed to the tree-lined campus of Jimei University behind him.

"You two, why don't you just spend half the afternoon alone here? No need to bring assistants or agents. Just imagine yourselves as Xu Yi and Li Er, walk around the campus, have some meals, and find that pure campus feeling."

Chen Duling's eyes widened slightly as she secretly glanced at Su Yu, her cheeks flushed.

"This is a mission! You must complete it well!"

Su Youpeng patted Chen Duling on the shoulder, "This kind of opportunity doesn't come often, so you must find your rhythm."

Chen Duling bit her lip, glanced at Su Yu again, and whispered, "I understand, Director."

Ma Sichun, who was standing nearby, had just picked up two bottles of water to hand to Su Yu and Chen Duling when she heard this and expressed her dissatisfaction to Su Youpeng:

"Director! I also feel that my understanding of Li Bala isn't deep enough. Can I request to stay and work with them to get a feel for the character?"

Without turning his head, Su Youpeng retorted, "You have a scene to film with Ou Hao this afternoon. Have you memorized the script?"

Ma Sichun: "..."

"Memorize it and then get out of here!"

Su Youpeng glanced at her and said, "I don't know how many takes you two will have to film this scene this afternoon. If you can get it right in one take like Su Yu and Du Ling, I can give you a short break."

Ma Sichun was pulled towards the film crew's car, looking back every few steps.

......

After the film crew's bus rumbled out of the school gate, Chen Duling belatedly asked Su Yu:

"So what do we do now? Just wander around the school? Won't we get recognized?"

Su Yu looked around and saw that there were still quite a few students wandering around the playground in twos and threes, glancing at them from time to time.

Although Su Youpeng had already announced through a megaphone before leaving that everyone in the crew had to evacuate, some people were still unwilling to give up and kept staring at the vehicles of the makeup and props teams that had not yet left, trying to find some clues.

Su Yu and Chen Duling were hiding behind several cars. Staff members who were packing up props were coming and going, and the college students had not yet noticed them.

"If we just swagger in like this, we'll be trending on the campus forum tonight, and maybe even get a news report saying that the male and female leads of 'The Left Ear' didn't consider the impact and freely strolled around Jida University, causing a large-scale stampede."

Chen Duling chuckled at his teasing: "Then what should we do?"

Su Yu thought for a moment, then waved to the costume team members who were tidying up props not far away: "Sister Li, Sister Li! Come here for a second!"

Five minutes later, Chen Duling looked at the set of clothes in her hand and felt completely distraught.

"What is this?"

"The cleaning staff's uniform."

Su Yu, without changing his expression, unfolded the dark blue coarse cloth jacket in his hand. "It also comes with a matching hat and mask. Pretty complete, huh?"

"Do I have to wear this?" Chen Duling's face scrunched up. "It's so ugly!"

"Ugly is good."

Su Yu had already quickly put on his coat, pulled his faded baseball cap over his head, and finally tied a cloth bag for collecting trash around his waist.

"Being extremely ugly is also a form of camouflage. When you wear this later, even if your own mother walks past you, she won't think it's Chen Duling~"

Chen Duling's face turned red again. She glared at him, but still took the clothes and awkwardly put them on.

She tied her long hair up and tucked it into her hat, then put on the mask provided by the props team.

Su Yu glanced at her and nodded approvingly: "She's quite cute."

Chen Duling looked down at her bulky gray-blue work clothes, then at Su Yu's hunched back, and finally couldn't help but laugh.

The two elderly cleaners, heads bowed, blended into the crowd and quietly entered the center of Jimei University.

In the early summer evening, the sun shone brightly on campus.

Jimei University's architecture has a unique Southeast Asian style, with red bricks, white pillars, and arcades, nestled among layers of greenery.

The phoenix trees by the roadside are in full bloom, covered with fiery red flowers, looking like burning clouds from afar.

The students passing by were in a hurry; some sped past on shared bicycles, while others walked and chatted in twos and threes, carrying books. No one gave them a second glance.

Su Yu and Chen Duling walked side by side on the tree-lined path, their feet dappled with sunlight.

Two figures in sanitation worker uniforms walked through the campus. Although they were inconspicuous, their pace was so slow that they seemed out of place among the hurried college students around them.

Moreover, both of them were wearing masks, and one of them would occasionally bend down to pick up small bottles from the ground and put them into a cloth bag.

"Hey? Duling, do you know how much a plastic bottle costs these days?"

As Su Yu bent down to pick up the bottles, he casually asked.

"Hmm? I don't know."

Although Chen Duling looked like she was walking slowly and leisurely, she was actually extremely nervous. She only snapped out of her daze when she heard Su Yu call her.

"Oh~ How about I treat you to an internet cafe tonight using these bottles?"

Upon hearing that they were going to an internet cafe, Chen Duling snapped out of her daze and perked up, "Okay, okay! I'll help you find one!"

Soon, girls passing by started secretly taking pictures of them.
