[BL] Accidental Mark

Chapter 48

Cheng Xia came to the set with his agent at 8:30 a.m.

The scenery of Mingde Private High School really deserved its reputation. There were green trees and flowers everywhere. School buildings stood in the misty mountains and looked more like a holiday resort than a school. Pei Shaoze had contacted the school to book an unused building. It was behind the school stadium, and many empty rooms in the building could be converted into indoor scenes such as classrooms, the library, the auditorium and the bedrooms of the main actors' houses.

The props team and scene designers came to set up the scene early this morning. First, they built the classroom that had the largest number of scenes in the drama. They also built several dressing rooms and makeup rooms next door.

Cheng Xia followed his agent to the dressing room to change clothes. Then he came to the filming set after finishing the styling.

There were 40 seats placed in 4 rows in the classroom. Qin Nian's seat was in the far right of the third row by the window. In the first year of high school, after the midterm exam, a transfer student called Lu Fengyang suddenly appeared in the class. The teacher arranged for Lu Fengyang to sit in the last row.

Qin Nian and Lu Fengyang's seats were far away and they didn't speak. On that snowy night, Lu Fengyang fought with gangsters. After Qin Nian passed by and saved them, they became familiar with each other. It just so happened that the class had to readjust their seats every time after a test. The headteacher moved Lu Fengyang's seat next to Cheng Xia's one and the two of them unexpectedly became tablemates.

The scene of the snow night drama had been shot at the 17th High School. There hadn't been enough time there and the indoor scenes were left to Ya'an to shoot. So today, Cheng Xia and Shen Kai were to continue the plot after the snowy night fight. Since it was the plot after the snowy night, the two of them had to continue to wear winter clothes.

Cheng Xia wore a sweater with his school uniform. The temperature was nearly 30 degrees Celsius. He was extremely hot in the woolen sweater. Fortunately, there was air conditioning in the classroom. Once Cheng Xia walked into the air-conditioned classroom, Director Liu hurriedly waved to him. "Cheng Xia, come here."

Shen Kai was sitting next to Director Liu at this time. After seeing Cheng Xia, they smiled at each other in greeting.

Director Liu pointed to the actors dressed as students next to him. "They are the cast from the Ya'an Film Academy recruited by the assistant director. In the next two months of shooting, they will follow the crew and act as your classmates and family members. Get to know them first."

Extras didn't need to appear again after filming one or two scenes. Meanwhile, the actors who 'followed' them around weren't important roles but they often moved around the protagonists such as the protagonist's classmates, teachers, family members, etc. There weren't many big scenes in school dramas so there were only dozens of actors in this group.

Cheng Xia took the initiative to greet everyone. One of the cute beta girls came up to him and softly told him, "Cheng Xia, I have seen your 'Memory Fragments' MV. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to film with you. I am very happy!"

Another beta boy said to Cheng Xia, "I am a junior at the Ya'an Film Academy. I'm here to have a meal with the crew. Please take care of it."

There were many students at the film academy who were close to his age. Among them were many handsome men and beautiful women but they never had the opportunity to play leading roles and important supporting roles. They could only run between various crews and eat the food there. This was the real status quo of the academy students.

In comparison, Cheng Xia felt that he was really lucky to be able to play a leading role at the age of 18. President Pei was the source of all his luck.
