Chinese Entertainment 2014: Young Actresses Are Becoming Dazzling

Chapter 35 Jasmine, Jasmine, I urge you not to leave~

"Good morning, Brother Su Yu."

When Chen Duling saw Su Yu enter, she immediately jumped up from the cushion, put her hands behind her back, and nervously twisted the hem of her clothes.

Because Chen Duling's voice was too soft, Su Yu didn't hear her at all. Only after getting closer did he realize that she was looking at him somewhat awkwardly, and he immediately gave her a smile.

Good morning, Duling.

"Huh? What mischief did you get up to last night?"

Chen Duling's face flushed red instantly. Could it be that Su Yu saw her secretly picking flowers last night?!

No way, no way, God, what a coincidence!

Chen Duling felt utterly devastated. She absolutely couldn't give Su Yu this kind of first impression!

"Your dark circles are so bad, did you not sleep well?"

Hearing this, Chen Duling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well."

Chen Duling took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and stretched out her hand from behind her back. In her palm lay a jasmine flower bracelet strung with a blue ribbon.

"Um... this is a little gift for you. Our meeting yesterday was so rushed, I didn't prepare anything. Last night when I got back to the hotel, I saw some jasmine flowers in the flowerbed downstairs, so... I just picked some and strung them into a bracelet all night. Here it is for you!"

"Oh, yes, everyone gets one! I also made gifts for Ou Hao and Sister Si Chun, don't get the wrong idea!"

Fearing that Su Yu might misunderstand that she had feelings for him, she added a sentence.

Chen Duling's voice grew softer as she spoke, her cheeks flushed pink, and her eyes were clear yet apprehensive.

"The handiwork is a bit ugly, I hope you won't mind..."

Su Yu looked at Chen Duling and felt an urge to pat her head. No wonder she was so popular. She was such a sweet little flower. Who could resist her?

Only Xu Yi, that big idiot Chun.

Just as Su Yu was about to reach out to take it and offer a few words of praise, Ma Sichun suddenly appeared beside him.

Wow, what an exquisite bracelet!

Ma Sichun looked at the bracelet in Chen Duling's hand with envy.

Whether it was to get into character or simply because she liked it, she was dressed like Li Bala today: a black tight-fitting crop top, ripped jeans, a motorcycle leather jacket, and a rebellious choker around her neck.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow. Such a niche outfit, especially the choker around her neck. Could it be from some kind of niche circle? Su Yu wondered.

"May I take a look?"

Ma Sichun smiled and asked Chen Duling. After receiving Chen Duling's consent, he extended a pair of hands with black nail polish and took the bracelet. He brought the bracelet to his nose and smelled it, then glanced at Chen Duling and Su Yu with amusement, and teased them in a drawn-out tone:

"Jasmine, jasmine, I urge you not to leave~ Duling, you wouldn't happen to have fallen in love with Su Yu at first sight, like Li Er fell deeply in love with Xu Yi, would you?"

"Huh? No! No! It's just a coincidence... Sister Sichun, don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Duling, an engineering student who had never even been in a relationship, was no match for this kind of teasing. She blushed instantly, her pretty face turning so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

Su Yu frowned, snatched the bracelet back from Ma Sichun's hand, ignored her, put the bracelet on his wrist, and smiled as he patted Chen Duling's head:

"The bracelet smells wonderful and is very pretty. I love it. Thank you. It's just that I didn't prepare any gift for you."

"Ah...no need, um..."

After being patted on the head by Su Yu, Chen Duling's brain went blank for a moment, and she spoke incoherently.

Just then, Ou Hao yawned and pushed the door open to come in.

Once everyone had arrived, the acting teacher came in and called everyone to begin training.

Su Yu followed and looked down to admire the jasmine flower bracelet.

It smells so good! But why is there a faint scent that doesn't belong to jasmine?

Huh?

Su Yu looked up and his gaze fell on Chen Duling's skirt. The blind student seemed to have discovered a key point!

How come the ribbon on this flower string is exactly the same as the ribbon on Chen Duling's dress?

……

The morning session mainly focused on positioning and emotional release.

After all, almost all of them were newcomers, and the acting coach was having a headache correcting Ma Sichun's emotional outburst scene.

This is a scene where Li Bala teases Xu Yi in the billiards hall.

Ma Sichun put in a lot of effort, but it just lacked a certain something.

"Sichun, be more emotional, be more aggressive!" the teacher shouted from the side.

Ma Sichun performed it again, but it still didn't feel right.

Su Yu acted as a tool, coldly watching her perform from the opposite side.

"If you keep acting like this, we won't be able to start filming next year."

Su Yu suddenly spoke up calmly.

Ma Sichun paused, glaring at Su Yu: "Oh? What insightful opinion do you have, Professor Su?"

"Your aggressiveness was portrayed too bluntly, without any embellishment."

"Li Bala is a delinquent girl who lacks love. If you act her out like this, it won't be seductive at all; it will just look like she's trying to rob me."

You need to add a touch of worldliness to your rebelliousness, and a dash of the bravado of an eighteen-year-old girl.

After these insightful comments, the rehearsal room quieted down a bit.

Ou Hao nodded repeatedly, "I think Su Yu is right, this way of acting will be more convincing!"

Ma Sichun turned and glared at him, as if to say, "Now you're showing your intelligence!"

Ou Hao immediately fell silent and turned to look at Su Yu with admiration.

However, after carefully considering Su Yu's words, the acting teacher suddenly slapped his thigh:

"Yes! Su Yu is absolutely right! It's just that it lacks that bluffing! Si Chun, you're trying too hard to play a bad girl, and you've lost that vulnerable side of Li Bala!"

Chen Duling sat in the corner, watching Su Yu talk eloquently, her eyes practically sparkling with admiration.

Being publicly criticized, and with such a valid point, Ma Sichun knew he was right, but he still felt embarrassed.

She gritted her teeth, threw the script on the ground, and looked at Su Yu:

"Teacher Su, I know you have solid theoretical knowledge, but talk is cheap. Since you know what the weakness of bluffing is, why don't you demonstrate it for me? Let me broaden my horizons!"

She refused to believe that a grown man could so clearly portray the complex psychology of a female rogue like Li Bala!

"Are you sure you want me to play the role?"

Su Yu stood up casually and stretched his shoulders.

"Act! If you can't get the feel of it today, you'll have to treat us to milk tea at noon!" Ma Sichun said, arms crossed and chin raised.

"Okay, but if I succeed, it'll be your turn!"

Su Yu walked to the center of the field and looked at Ma Sichun face to face.

"Now you are Xu Yi."

Su Yu closed his eyes and adjusted his state.

[Love at first sight, triggering passively...]

Just two seconds later, when he opened his eyes again, his entire aura had completely changed.

He didn't imitate a woman's coyness, but rather accurately grasped the core of the emotion.

Su Yu's eyes were no longer clear, but became complicated and full of lust, with a hint of mockery of the world and a cheap, worldly air, but deep in the depths of his eyes, there was a faint trace of vulnerability.

He reached out and, in an extremely flippant manner, pinched Ma Sichun's chin.
