One Useless Rebirth Chapter 91: Popsicle (1)

He Bai stood next to Jiang Guanshan, and he suddenly got a bit nervous while looking at Di Qiuhe who stood on the balcony on the second floor in the front.

The action choreographer and the securities were doing the final check and the dresser was working on his makeup and clothes. Di Qiuhe's eyes were closed as if he was building up his mood. The smiling between his eyes was drawn back deliberately that he looked quite thoughtful and steady.

The first take was Di Qiuhe's monodrama. According to the former blockings, he needed to run out from the room first and then looked back at the pursuing troops. After that, he should jump out of the balcony on the second floor and fell on the plastic roof of the first floor. Then he should pull out his leg to grab the window frame on the first floor after rolling on the ground, and flashed into the alley right after.

It wasn't that easy to shoot those scenes that might not even last for only a few seconds in the final film.

A few minutes later, the dresser left with his cosmetic kit. The action choreographer and other staff had made the final check and they were packing their stuff to leave gradually. Jiang Guanshan waved and all the staff on each position were ready quickly. They were ready to start the shooting right after he and Di Qiuhe gave the sign.

Finally, Di Qiuhe was the only one left in the scene. He adjusted his body and turned to look downstairs.

Jiang Guanshan gave him an "Okay" sign.

Di Qiuhe nodded and waited for a second. Then he put his eyes on He Bai who was dumbly holding a camera and looking at him without blinking.

He Bai waved his hand as he saw him looking at himself, and he said a silent "fighting" with his mouth moving. He then held up his camera and pretended to take a snap, meaning he would take good pictures for him.

Di Qiuhe couldn't help raising his lips and his eyes were full of smile. The gentleness covered deliberately before had now been revealed unconsciously, and some staff was blushing as they were overwhelmed by how handsome Di Qiuhe was.

Dong Ni's eyes flashed and she was blushing as well because he was indeed handsome. And he was totally different from her fat and greasy sponsor who kept on gazing at her.

Jiang Guanshan looked around the environment and made a strong cough and stared at Di Qiuhe angrily. He then clapped to tell them the shooting was about to start.

Di Qiuhe arranged his emotions immediately and withdrew his stare from He. He hid half of his body in the room after taking a few steps back.

He Bai grabbed his camera tightly and couldn't help holding his breath.

There was also a camera stand inside the room, and it was charged by the deputy director. The continuity called the scene number and clapped the clip stick to kick off the shooting.

The atmosphere around Di Qiuhe changed promptly along with the shooting. He ran to the balcony with his eyebrows tightly knitted and looked at the pursuing troops seriously. His fist was getting hard and he abruptly pushed against the rails on the balcony and jumped down agilely.

He Bai had totally forgotten that he was there to do his assignment that he couldn't help looking at that vigorous shadow falling down. His heart was beating so fast out of worry.

Landing safely on the roof, Di Qiuhe rolled on the ground without a break. He then grabbed the window frame on the first floor and disappeared after stepping on it to flash into the alley near the side of the house.

"Cut! Pass!"

Director Jiang waved and then the staff ran into the alley immediately to check on Di Qiuhe. He Bai couldn't help but follow them up.

There were some mats prepared in the alley, so Di Qiuhe was actually falling on them after he flashed agilely into the alley in the camera. He was about to stand up with the help of those staff when He Bai rushed into him.

"Are you alright?" He Bai ran into him and grabbed his arm to scan with his eyebrows furrowed.

Di Qiuhe was struck for a second and laughed happily. He pressed his hand back and consoled him, "It's okay. They have checked the security for so many times. No worries." He was just so addicted to this feeling of being cared for by his lover. That was just so fresh and addictive.

The pressing hand was too intimate for He Bai that he was struck for a while. The action choreographer came to grab Di Qiuhe's wrist and asked him to make a few gestures to check if he was alright from the falling. He Bai's weird feeling then disappeared right after.

Maybe it was a shooting habit to tell them that he was alright by making gestures after shooting.

He thought that way and drew his hand back to keep some distance with Di Qiuhe. He then held up his camera and took a picture of Di Qiuhe talking with the action choreographer.

Di Qiuhe heard the sound of the shutter click while he was feeling depressed because of his empty hand. He couldn't help looking back and then he felt that his empty heart was getting a refill.

He Bai pressed the shutter again and moved away the camera to smile at him.

Di Qiuhe smiled back and the love in his eyes was about to overflow.

It was getting weirdly sweet. Dong Ni was holding a bottle of water and trying to get closer to him. She looked at those two people who were smiling at each other, and she couldn't help stopping herself but then was pushed aside by some staff arranging the set.

"Dong Ni! Where is Dong Ni? It is about to be your turn! Come here again and check the blockings!" The deputy director called somewhere on the other side.

Therefore, the ignored Dong Ni suddenly became the spotlight in the crowd, although not that kind of fancy spotlight.

All of the staff knew that she was still raw yet with some kind of unspeakable background. They also knew that on her first day in D district she didn't visit the director but she knocked on the door of Di Qiuhe early in the morning when the others were still in their dreams. She said she was trying to check the script with him. What a piece of insincere raw meat!

Luckily Di Qiuhe didn't stay alone in a room because he was hosting his junior who was visiting him. And there were no reporters lurking outside as this was a closed shooting. So there were not weird scandals coming out.

Director Jiang hated it the most when scandals of the actors spreading out even before the film was released. Was Dong Ni trying to challenge director Jiang's fierceness of scolding people that she was now trying so hard to get closer to Di Qiuhe with a bottle of water?

Dong Ni felt quite embarrassed by people's staring that she laughed awkwardly and said, "It's alright. I'll just go check on my blockings."

She left right after as if she was just passing by.

"It is not common to see a novice trying to familiarize the shooting procedures before so that not to cause trouble to the others. Ms. Dong is very dedicated."

Di Qiuhe suddenly sighed and looked at He Bai gently, "I still need to take a few close-ups for these set of shots. You can get closer by chance to get more familiar with your camera, and don't forget about your assignment."

The embarrassment was suddenly gone. And all the staff was looking at Di Qiuhe in a praising way as he found an excuse for the novice to ease the situation. He also changed the topic smoothly into caring for his visiting junior and telling him to do his assignment. How considerate, gentle and thoughtful Mr. Di was that he lighten up the atmosphere!

The crowd was won over immediately.

He Bai squinted at Di Qiuhe, "This dude...he is putting on an act again."

Di Qiuhe smiled gently and he looked exactly like an elegant gentleman.

He Bai rolled his eyes and spat secretly in his heart.

It was quite a trivial thing to take close-ups that it took about 4 or 5 times for Di Qiuhe to finish all the shots needed. He Bai was so worried while watching it as the task was too hard to take. No wonder Di Qiuhe was so toned, he might have failed to finish the exhausting shooting task otherwise.

Dong Ni had finished her blockings on the other side and she was shooting the demo for her first shot which was a basic chasing scene on the street.

"The next one is the love scene." After talking with director Jiang, Di Qiuhe went behind He Bai who was holding his camera to take snaps of Dong Ni. He put his chin on his head and rubbed on it as he was a bit taller and standing on the stairs as well.

He Bai was struck and hit his waist without thinking, saying with dislike, "Stop rubbing on me! Your face is covered with sweat and foundation. Dare you to do your tricks again I'm gonna take a lot of ugly snaps of you and post them online!"
