Chapter 898: Chapter 880: Huo Feng Refuses the Kissing Scene! (2)
You Xinran actually also guessed that Huo Feng would resist kiss scenes.
In last year’s musical "Phantom of the Opera," You Xinran also played the female lead.
She had kiss scenes with both the male lead and the second male lead. She didn’t like them, but due to professional etiquette, she went through with it.
During rehearsals, You Xinran even passionately kissed the male lead and the second male lead countless times.
Last year’s male lead and second male lead have both left the troupe this year.
So, this year’s positions for the male lead and second male lead are vacant.
When Huo Feng took the script for the second male lead, You Xinran had secretly rejoiced...
She fantasized countless times about kissing Huo Feng due to the play.
She also fantasized about kissing Huo Feng on stage in "Phantom of the Opera" in front of the audience, especially in front of Huo Feng’s girlfriend.
After so many days of rehearsals, with her always rehearsing with Wu Di, finally, the day came...
In the end, Huo Feng actually refused her.
You Xinran actually knew deeply that her fantasies were just fantasies, and if Huo Feng really saw the kiss scene, he definitely wouldn’t agree.
So, his current reaction was also within You Xinran’s expectations...
What You Xinran didn’t expect was that Huo Feng would so directly say that he couldn’t bring himself to do it with her...
Such harsh words of disdain, spoken so casually, truly pierced You Xinran’s heart for a moment.
However, You Xinran hid her disappointment well.
She just faced Huo Feng with a professional attitude and played a segment from the original "Phantom of the Opera" musical...
In the final stage of the plot, the female lead also has a passionate kiss scene with the male lead.
This means that You Xinran and Wu Di also have a kiss scene, and it’s much more intense than the three kiss scenes with Huo Feng.
In that scene, the male lead hangs the second male lead’s neck with a rope, threatening the female lead with the second male lead’s life to choose him, kiss him, and leave with him...
Then, after a painful struggle, the female lead fiercely kisses the male lead!
You Xinran played that scene for Huo Feng to watch, looking at him with a calm expression and said, "I’m not only having a kiss scene with you, but also with Wu Di. This scene involves all three of us, but Wu Di and I haven’t rehearsed it. Yet I have already reached an agreement with him to try to faithfully reproduce the original. Neither Wu Di nor I have any objections to this kiss scene. So..."
So, with the kiss scene with Huo Feng, You Xinran hoped he wouldn’t back out.
Huo Feng sometimes gets very emotional, easily irritable and quick to lose his temper.
But at crucial moments, he almost never drops the ball.
For example, in the last "Butterfly Lovers," his control over the scene was excellent! He also showed great dedication to drama!
You Xinran had a tiny hope in her heart.
Hoping he would succumb to his good acting professionalism and agree to the kiss scenes.
In fact...
Huo Feng used to always feel he had quite the acting professionalism.
But now...
At this moment, Huo Feng felt that freaking professionalism wasn’t important at all!
He can’t have kiss scenes with other women!
Even if Pu Sangzhi agreed, he still couldn’t get over it himself!
Huo Feng is loyal to his feelings, loyal to Pu Sangzhi! He just can’t do it!
So, faced with You Xinran’s display of high professional ethics, Huo Feng shook his head and refused, "So, it’s fine if you and Brother Sijiu have a kiss scene. I can’t do it, I just can’t get over it. If you really want to get close to the original, otherwise, you tell me, who was the second male lead actor last year? I’ll ask him to return, I’ll take responsibility, okay?"
You Xinran had indeed overestimated Huo Feng...
For Pu Sangzhi, he indeed couldn’t do this...
Pu Sangzhi really is a woman he’s deeply infatuated with.
"That senior from last year is already doing an internship, not in school. You can’t get him." You Xinran said.
"Then otherwise, I’ll go outside and find a professional musical actor, okay?"
Huo Feng suggested, "Anyway, this kiss scene is impossible for me. Unlike you all, I don’t have that level of dedication, really can’t do it."
You Xinran didn’t know where all these crazy ideas in Huo Feng’s head came from...
She only knew that the kiss scene had indeed directly scared him off.
She couldn’t push any further.
If she pushed further, who knows what other methods he might come up with once he gets agitated?
"For the time being, where will you find any professional actor? The show is next Sunday, tickets have already been released, let’s not mess it up, okay?" You Xinran asked.
"Then this kiss scene..." Huo Feng frowned.
"Cancelled."
You Xinran sighed, "Since you object so much, let’s just cancel it. Anyway, as long as the emotions are in place, whether there’s a kiss scene or not doesn’t matter. If you find some random actor outside to play with me, I don’t dare to kiss those people from external troupes either."
"Aren’t you willing to dedicate yourself to art?" Huo Feng asked.
"Who knows whom you’d randomly find."
You Xinran retorted to Huo Feng, "Besides, I can’t trust people from outside. Such an important role as the second male lead requires some coupling time with me. You and I have already passed the coupling stage, I trust you. So, forget the kiss scene, and don’t have any more thoughts. The most important thing in doing things is responsibility."
"Exactly, be responsible."
At this point, Wu Di also walked over to Huo Feng and patted him on the shoulder, "Huo Feng, act well, we still have scenes together."
"Alright."
Huo Feng looked at Wu Di and showed a helpless smile, "Brother Phantom."
"Hehe, why aren’t you calling me Brother Sijiu anymore?" Wu Di asked with a smile.
"Because this time you’re not my little page, but my rival actor ’Phantom’." Huo Feng raised his eyebrows and said.
With Wu Di’s interruption, Huo Feng’s mood quickly returned to normal, no longer tangled or upset.
Although You Xinran felt quite disappointed, she still cheered up, clapped her hands, urging Huo Feng, "Come on, Huo Feng, give it a try."
"Oh."
Then, Huo Feng quickly immersed himself in the drama...
The character he portrayed, the second male lead, was completely different from his personality, one could say it was also a challenge.
Aside from the kiss scenes and romantic scenes, Huo Feng quite enjoyed challenging such reverse personality roles.
This is how he can prove his acting skills!
...
At nine-thirty in the evening, the temperature suddenly dropped, and a cool rain began to fall outside the window...
Zijing Building Five, in the girls’ dormitory, Pu Sangzhi was busy focusing on making a model.
In a short while, she heard the pitter-patter of rain hitting the window, the rain was intense and strong...
"Oh no, it’s raining! Quickly, get the clothes!"
Minal hastily scrambled down from her bed, rushing to the balcony.
Wei Zixuan followed behind her, shouting, "Hey, grab mine too."
"I’ll bring everything in! You can find your clothes later!"
Minal’s voice came from the balcony, "Wow, it’s so cold outside~ the wind feels like knives~"
Hearing this, Pu Sangzhi turned her head, looking towards the window.
She worried about Huo Feng, who was still in rehearsal, since it was raining and cold outside.
She hurriedly put down her work, picked up her phone, and called Huo Feng.
Huo Feng answered quickly, "Hey, sweetheart?"
"It’s raining outside, did you bring an umbrella?" Pu Sangzhi asked.
"No. It’s raining?"
Over there, indoors, Huo Feng was completely unaware.
"Yes, it’s quite heavy. I’ll bring you an umbrella." Pu Sangzhi offered.
"No need, no need, why would you come out in this heavy rain."
Instead, Huo Feng directly refused her, "I haven’t finished rehearsal, maybe the rain will stop when I’m done. Stay inside, it’s cold outside, keep warm inside."
"Yeah, Minal also said it’s very cold outside."
Pu Sangzhi pursed her lips, uneasily turning her head again.
From the sight of Minal shivering violently after just going to retrieve some clothes...
The cold weather outside was clearly evident!
"Right, it’s cold outside, stay inside and keep warm. I’ve got to rehearse now, I’m hanging up."
Said Huo Feng, sounding somewhat hurried.
Pu Sangzhi didn’t dare to disturb him, so she quickly said, "Okay, bye-bye."
Her call with Huo Feng ended abruptly.
"Oh my, it’s so damn cold! Seems like it’s gotten even colder!"
Minal grumbled as she busily hung up the collected clothes hangers on her bed’s rail, "Ladies, I brought all the clothes from outside, they’re on my bed, come get them later."
"Hey, thanks my dear Xiaomai~" Wei Zixuan said.
"Thank you." Mu Mu added.
Pu Sangzhi didn’t have clothes hanging outside, so none of the collected clothes were hers.
However, hearing Minal say how significantly the temperature had dropped...
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but be reminded that Huo Feng was dressed lightly today.
Just an overcoat, thin shirt underneath, and a scarf...
With the temperature dropping and the rain outside, Pu Sangzhi was genuinely worried he might catch a chill...
