She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Chapter 158 Shooting

The next day, Jiang Lai arrived at the filming location with Lin Yinchuan and the others.

"You're here!" The director in charge of the music video shoot was giving instructions when he saw Jiang Lai and Lin Yinchuan approaching. He said, "Wait a moment, I need to check things over here again."

Lin Yinchuan said it was no problem, and Jiang Lai sat down to wait.

Jiang Lai had met some of the key staff members last night, but there were many unfamiliar faces.

They were also curiously observing Jiang Lai.

The girl was wearing a bohemian-style long dress today, with a cutout design at the waist and wide sleeves that revealed her fair arms. When she sat there quietly, she looked like a painting.

"Hey, the female lead is really pretty!" a stagehand said to the person next to him.

"How can someone who isn't good-looking be the female lead?" "Wasn't she supposed to be someone Lin Yinchuan knew? Otherwise, how could she have knocked out the other people?"

"Really? Look at the distance between Lin Yinchuan and her, they don't seem very intimate."

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. As long as nothing goes wrong during filming, that's fine." "That's true."

After a while, the assistant director came over and asked, "Are you ready? Everything over there is done."

Jiang Lai stood up: "No problem."

She and Lin Yinchuan walked up to the director.

"Let's take a few photos first, and use them as posters later," the director said. "Jiang Lai, you just walk around on the beach casually, be natural, and Yin Chuan, you follow behind her and watch her."

"It's that feeling of you protecting her from behind. Is that okay?" the director asked.

Jiang Lai and Lin Yinchuan both nodded at the same time.

"Let's give it a try!"

Jiang Lai walked barefoot on the beach, the seawater occasionally surging in, and she walked naturally ahead.

Lin Yinchuan followed slowly and cautiously behind her.

"Jiang Lai, don't move. Yin Chuan, move a little to the left," the director shouted through a megaphone.

Following his instructions, Jiang Lai remained still, her hand still holding her hair.

She couldn't see what was behind her, but out of the corner of her eye she could see some people holding cameras.

There were several photographers, taking photos from different angles.

Several photos were taken of the person behind Lin Yinchuan.

From this angle, Lin Yinchuan's eyes are bold and passionate, yet his movements are careful and restrained, like someone who has fallen in love but hasn't expressed it.

It's obvious at a glance that he has a crush on someone, or is in a one-sided love.

The director noticed this, which is why he asked both of them to stay still so that the photographer could take the picture quickly.

This music video tells the story of a young couple who go from strangers to falling in love.

Now it seems that from the boy's perspective, the journey from unrequited love to mutual affection resonates even more with the song.

"Okay, that's enough! Let's start filming our music video!"

-

The music video needs various interactions between the two people, such as driving go-karts together, playing in the water together, and kissing while holding sparklers on a summer night.

Lin Yinchuan was right beside Jiang Lai when she received the notebook.

"Is everything alright?" he asked. "Let's film the go-kart part first."

"A beach go-karts?" Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow in surprise. Wouldn't it be even harder to take a snapshot if they were moving?

"We're mainly filming some of the two of you interacting and playing around," the director said. "Let's decide who's going to drive."

Jiang Lai, feeling a bit itchy to try, suggested, "Shall I do it? Is that alright?"

Lin Yinchuan smiled at her and said, "Of course."

Jiang Lai straightened her skirt and then carefully got into the car, with Lin Yinchuan sitting next to her.

“This go-kart is very slow, don’t worry,” he said.

"Okay." Jiang Lai smiled and then drove off.

The go-kart's seats were very narrow; it seemed a bit cramped for two adults to sit in it. When Jiang Lai and Lin Yinchuan sat down, their legs were almost touching.

Lin Yinchuan turned his head to look at her, his hand on his chin, a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Lai winked at him and smiled broadly.

"Okay! That's enough!" the director said, holding a megaphone.

Jiang Lai, still somewhat unsatisfied, said to Lin Yinchuan, "Next time we need to do it at a normal speed. This was definitely arranged specifically for filming. It's not very interesting if the speed isn't high enough."

"Then let's come back after filming is over? Consider it a company-funded trip."

“Okay!” Jiang Lai readily agreed.

"What are you two whispering about? Come over here, we need to film the next scene!"

Playing in the water – this scene is a bold test before the two confirm their feelings for each other, so there will be a lot of physical contact and eye contact.

"I'm a pretty good swimmer, so—"

Jiang Lai looked up at him: "So?"

"So don't worry about leaving it to me, I'll protect you, nothing will happen."

Jiang Lai shook her index finger: "Who knows, maybe I'll be the one protecting you?"

"Well, then I'll leave it to you to protect me?"

The director called over a female production assistant and took Jiang Lai to change into her swimsuit.

When she reappeared, she was wearing a one-piece swimsuit, simple in style but perfectly showing off her figure.

Lin Yinchuan praised without reservation, "It's very beautiful."

Jiang Lai accepted his praise calmly, and then looked him over carefully.

Lin Yinchuan was wearing blue swim trunks. His legs were strong and straight, his waist and abdomen were firm, his abs were well-defined, his chest muscles were just right, and he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, exuding hormones.

"You're not bad either." Jiang Lai whistled, looking just like a female hooligan.

Lin Yinchuan's smile froze for a moment, and he shifted uncomfortably. "Thank you."

While the two were standing together talking, the staff were also discussing them.

"I'm so tired of saying 'They're such a perfect match,' let's just have them get married!"

"I've worked for Lin Yinchuan more than once or twice, but when have I ever seen him so close to a woman?"

"One is so handsome and the other is so beautiful, I'm really envious."

The director let the two of them walk onto the beach and interact freely, and then go into the water at appropriate times.

"Be careful with the equipment when you're filming! Don't break it!" he warned.

Photographer: "...I know."

The two played on the beach for a while, and then were asked to go into the water.

Lin Yinchuan grabbed Jiang Lai's hand and led her towards the sea.

The two of them bobbed up and down in the water. Lin Yinchuan reached out and splashed water on Jiang Lai's head. It looked like water was splashing everywhere, but it had no power at all.

Jiang Lai knew he had let her through, so she threw her hand at him, splashing water onto Lin Yinchuan's face.

"..." Lin Yinchuan wiped his face. "What a cruel heart you have, sister!"

Jiang Lai denied it, saying, "Isn't this part supposed to involve more interaction between us?"

She spoke with righteous indignation. Lin Yinchuan glanced at her, then suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her sharply towards him. "You're right!"

Jiang Lai casually placed her hands on Lin Yinchuan's shoulders, bringing the two of them much closer together.

Lin Yinchuan grabbed Jiang Lai's waist, and the two of them fell onto the water.

Her waist was indeed very thin and supple.

Jiang Lai saw his serious gaze and suddenly felt a little hot.

The two of them struggled for quite a while before this scene finally ended.

The seawater wasn't very comfortable on her skin, so she decided to stop filming there for the morning and go take a shower and change her clothes.

When she returned, she saw Lin Yinchuan talking to the director. He was still wearing the same swim trunks he had just worn. His skin was very fair and shone faintly in the sunlight, but he was not thin. The water droplets on his abs had not yet been wiped away.

Several female staff members were secretly glancing at him.

Jiang Lai walked over.

Lin Yinchuan handed the camera to her and asked, "What do you think?"

These photos are indeed very beautiful, exuding a pink bubble effect and a strong sense of sexual tension.

Jiang Lai gave a thumbs up: "Great job!"

Lin Yinchuan raised an eyebrow. "I think so too! So I plan to post a few pictures on Weibo as a preview."

We can't keep the music video news to ourselves, otherwise it won't generate buzz, but we can't release it all at once either, or there won't be any surprises.

Jiang Lai agreed and asked, "Which ones are you sending?"

You'll find out tonight.

-

When Lin Yinchuan posted on Weibo that evening, Jiang Lai finally saw the photos that Lin Yinchuan had chosen.

—Surfing, huh? I'm totally fucking excited!

—My goodness, male and female bodhisattvas!

—Is this how you make promotional images? If the music video isn't good, I'll sue you for fraud!

—What should I do if I'm even more excited for this song?

—These photos are so sexy! The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and they're dressed and doing normal poses, but their eyes are like they're locked in a passionate embrace!! If this isn't real, then I'm the one who's not!

Why don't you two go and make a movie?

—Get married right now!!!

Jiang Lai scrolled through the comments from netizens, some of which were really too hot and daring. She shook her head with amusement and then forwarded them to her own Weibo.

These photos are really beautiful. Jiang Lai thought for a moment, clicked save, and then posted them to her WeChat Moments.

Jiang Lai: Sunshine, beach, waves~ [Images] [Images] [Images]

My roommates were the first to like and comment on it.

Tang Li: Ahhhhh, baby! You're so beautiful! And could you please get me Lin Yinchuan's autographed photo? Kisses!

Zhao Ying: Beautiful girls, let's get close!

Li Xiangyue: These photos are beautiful!

Ye Kongxing: Little Jiang! If you like surfing, I'll take you next time! Old Fu is a pro surfer!

Lu Jin: Let's go swimming together next time!

Fu An: Be careful not to catch a cold after playing at the beach.

Bai Lu Wei Xi replied to Fu An: Let's go to the beach for our studio team building next time!

The music video shoot was simpler than Jiang Lai had imagined, since the main focus was on the song rather than the content.

In addition, Jiang Lai has a good sense of camera presence and expressiveness, so the filming went very smoothly.

Only one scene remained, where the two of them sat on a swing and kissed, holding sparklers.

The sparklers burn for a very short time, and the two people need to express a sticky, romantic feeling in that short period of time.

The two of them burned countless sparklers, but the director kept saying it wasn't quite right, and the kissing scene never actually happened.

"Why don't you two get a little closer? Create a bit more of a romantic atmosphere. Take a break first, and see if you can get into the mood!"

Jiang Lai and Lin Yinchuan sat on the swing.

"How do we make it ambiguous?" Jiang Lai asked Lin Yinchuan.

Lin Yinchuan leaned closer to Jiang Lai: "Treat me like your boyfriend, and then get a little intimate, how about that? But, will your boyfriend mind?"

“I don’t have a boyfriend,” Jiang Lai shook her head.

Lin Yinchuan smiled slightly, his tone light and cheerful: "I see."

"So now I'm your boyfriend." He leaned closer. "Does this offend you?"

The two were close, but not that close. Jiang Lai shook her head: "It's alright."

"That's good." Lin Yinchuan asked, "Why don't you like me anymore?"

"Huh?" Aren't they boyfriend and girlfriend?

Lin Yinchuan asked, feeling wronged, "Why did you stop following celebrities? Did you fall for another star? You don't come to see me anymore, and you don't pay attention to me anymore."

"I already said, I'm just busy—"

Lin Yinchuan raised his hand and covered Jiang Lai's mouth: "We're boyfriend and girlfriend now, so you don't care about me anymore? You don't cherish what you've got?"

Oh, role-playing? A big star and his non-celebrity girlfriend?

"Next time, please pay more attention to me! Don't look at other people, okay?"

Jiang Lai knew Lin Yinchuan was putting on an act, but she was still stumped by his question, as if she had really committed some serious crime.

As the two drew closer, Jiang Lai watched Lin Yinchuan's handsome face grow larger and larger, and her heart began to race uncontrollably.

"you--"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yinchuan turned to the side, placing one hand on the back of the swing chair. With his other hand, he lifted her chin, almost pulling her into his embrace. The swing began to sway, their foreheads touching, and their lips brushed against each other as the swing swayed.

"Okay! Passed!"

Before Jiang Lai could react to what was happening, she heard the director shout this.

She turned her head: "When was it filmed?"

The director said, "When Yin Chuan gave me hand gestures, even though we didn't use fireworks, it was still pretty good! We could adjust the color tone in post-production."

Jiang Lai looked at Lin Yinchuan in shock: "How come I didn't know?"

Lin Yinchuan laughed and said, "You seem a bit clueless, so I'll just let him handle it."

He stroked his chin: "It was probably when I was asking you to pay more attention to me! At that time, you were in a good mood."

Jiang Lai: "Thank you so much."

"It's over. Let's go get some late-night snacks together later!" the manager called out.

The staff happily agreed.

Lin Yinchuan handed the remaining sparklers to Jiang Lai: "We can go after they've finished packing up."

"Okay." Jiang Lai reached out and took it.

Lin Yinchuan helped her light the sparkler.

"How are you feeling today?" "Not bad!" Jiang Lai replied casually.

"Do you like me a little more now?"

"?"

Seeing Jiang Lai's expression, Lin Yinchuan tilted his head and said, "Really? What a pity. I was thinking you would like me when I'm working hard! It's true that once you go from being a fan to being neutral, it's hard to become a fan of your old idol again?"

Jiang Lai joked, "Then maybe you need to work a little harder."

Lin Yinchuan looked at the extinguished sparkler in his hand, lowered his head and smiled: "Okay."
