Chapter 183 - 184: No Kissing Scenes, No Bed Scenes
Xia Yangyang spent a whole day finalizing all the roles.
In the evening, she gathered everybody in the lecture hall for a meeting.
She handed out the scripts to everyone.
The school assigned the script “Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai”.
The well-known classic love story, Xia Yangyang will play Zhu Yingtai, with Li Jiashu playing Liang Shanbo.
Wen Xiaochu will portray Yinxing, Zhu Yingtai’s personal maidservant.
Xia Yangyang said, “Tonight, everyone needs to study the script carefully because tomorrow we will start our official rehearsal. We only have half a month. After that, we will compete against Kim Fei’er’s team on stage in the East-West Hall. So I hope everyone will put in their utmost effort.”
Everyone was filled with enthusiasm.
By the time Xia Yangyang returned to Maple Villa, it was already nine o’clock.
Gu Qichen had just got home as well.
Gu Qichen asked Xia Yangyang, “Why are you home so late?”
Xia Yangyang told Gu Qichen about her participation in the school cultural festival drama performance.
Gu Qichen asked, “A drama performance? Are there any kissing scenes?”
Xia Yangyang burst into laughter: “Is that the only thing you’re concerned about?”
Gu Qichen stated, “If you want to act professionally and enter the entertainment industry, I won’t stop you. However, I have one condition – no kissing scenes, no bed scenes and no scenes that are overly intimate.”
Xia Yangyang asked, “What if I’m not in control of the situation?”
Gu Qichen casually replied, “Then worst comes to worst, I’ll be your stand-in.”
Xia Yangyang said: “If things turn out that way, the media will probably seize the opportunity for headlines, something like ‘CEO of the mighty Shengyuan Group, has an odd hobby of being his wife’s kissing scene double’.”
As Gu Qichen took off his coat and leaned towards Xia Yangyang, he whispered in her ear, “I don’t mind.”
Gu Qichen’s suggestive whisper tickled Xia Yangyang’s ear.
But she was exhausted that day.
She lightly pushed him away and said: “Here’s your reassurance: It’s just a usual play. No kissing scenes, no romantic scenes, you can relax now.”
Gu Qichen pretended to look disappointed: “What a pity, if there was a bed scene, I could’ve made a cameo.”
“What would you cameo as, a bed?”
Gu Qichen:”…”
Xia Yangyang did not tell Gu Qichen about her bet with Kim Fei’er.
Neither did she tell him that Gu Zhaohan was also part of the play, siding with Kim Fei’er’s team.
The reason Yangyang remained silent was because she didn’t want Gu Qichen to worry about her. To him, all of this must seem childish. He was a busy man with a lot of responsibilities, so she doubted he would have the time to pay attention to these trivial student conflicts.
As for Gu Zhaohan, Yangyang thought if she told Gu Qichen, he might think she was secretly complaining about him, which might make him dislike her more.
Since Gu Zhaohan was not obligated to help her, Yangyang managed to let it go after a good night’s sleep.
The next day, the real rehearsals began.
A University has two halls, the East Hall and the West Hall.
In half a month, their performances would be staged simultaneously in these two halls.
However, the East Hall was built many years ago and is in fact much smaller than the West Hall, and the environment is much worse.
Of course, the West Hall was the best place for rehearsal.
Since they did not have the advantage of actors, Yangyang thought about taking advantage of the better location.
She knew the East and West halls were always managed by the campus logistics industry.
She found the relevant responsible personnel, submitted an application for rehearsals, and then received the key to the hall.
In the morning, Yangyang, along with a few members, moved all the props to the hall.
At noon, she treated the members to a meal together.
After the meal, they planned to start rehearsing in the afternoon
However, when they arrived at the West Hall, they found all their afternoon props had been thrown outside the hall, piled up into a small hill.
When Yangyang went in, she saw Kim Fei’er directing, “Throw this, this, and this, all out..”
