You are my super star

Someones Felling A Bit Jealous

Jules dumbfounded, thinking this time was not the case.

Jules understood that Leon attempted to make him feel better. Although he totally missed the point, it was his thoughts that counted, so Jules nodded: "Thank you."

"But is the cost of your crying scene a bit high? It will take at least hour for you to move on to the next scene, right?" Leon smiled, "So precious."

Jules hurriedly explained: "No, no. All I need is to wash my face with cold water. It takes five minutes at most! Then stains will be invisible! For real! I will wash soon, and you will see..."

Jules stood up but Leon dragged him back to the sofa, "Are you mad? It's winter. I am not interested in you performing anti-swelling. What's more, you are done work for today. It was me who has another play to do."

"It's not that cold..."Jules put his hands on knees, defending himself in low voice, "And it's not like this every time. If I just have to shed one or two drops of tears, I won't be like this."

"Detailed category, huh."There was a smile on Leon's mouth, "Nice play. I just watched the recording. Excellent."

Jules felt better, then answered, "Thank you... It was because of your great performance. Every time I act with you, I can outdo myself."

Leon chuckled, "You sweet talking me honey tongue?"

This was the only part Tripp heard when he came in for Leon to discuss the scene. He asked with casualness, "Whose tongue?"

Leon looked up at Tripp and licked his lower lip, "Jules's."

Tripp, "..."

Feeling teased by Mr. Movie King Leon, Jules gulped and rushed to explain, "No no no no no... I was flattering Mr. Leon. It, it was nothing at all..."

Tripp despised this self-indulgent image of Leon. He frowned, "Have you finished reading the next script? I've been looking for you all of this time and you are over here chatting!"

"It's not chatting. I am cultivating connections with my scene partner in advance." Leon stood up with grace, and smiled, "To be prepared for the following honeymoon."

Suddenly Jules opened his eyes widely because he realised that ——

Along with the shoot developing, after breaking the ice, the "honeymoon" between Miner and Peters was waiting for them.

During the shooting of honeymoon, the atmosphere of the whole crew changed.

Tripp was afraid that others would influence the actors, so he did set cleaning in every scene, whether consciously or unconsciously. Unfortunately, the more people left on the set, the more nervous Jules would be. With different people on the set, Jules could realize that it is all was about acting, but after set cleaning, the presence of Leon was maximized.

Every time Leon got close to him, Jules had to try his best to make himself be clear that they were just acting.

"Why did you get up so early, Peters? "

Leon was half-awake. He hugged Jules from behind, leaning down to kiss his side face, and murmured: "I would like to have dumplings for breakfast"

Jules hid himself on the side and said, "Do you have any idea what time it is now? The dumplings stall has already closed. "

Leon opened his eyes indignantly and gave another kiss on Jules s face. He said, "Then, steamed dumplings. "

"Also closed." Jules suggested, "There are only few breakfast spots near our house, so what about us going out for breakfast?"

"I am too lazy to move my toe..." Leon rested his head on Jules's shoulder, groaning, "I'm starving."

Jules gave up, asking him: "Ok, what do you want to eat? I will make it for you."

"What do I want to eat?" Leon opened his eyes and bit Jules's ear instantly. He pushed Jules to the bed, laughing: "What do you think? Huh?"

"Cut!"

Tripp said nothing about the scene. He stood up and went to the scriptwriter.

Leon sat on the bed, smiling sarcastically: "Why were you so stiff?"

On hearing Leon's words, Jules began to panic. He tried to recall the scene they just shot, and said, "Was I? I apologies. I am so so so sorry..."

"Not that serious. I just felt you were scared when I hugged you." Leon stood up, asking, "Are you afraid of me? Or do you just loath intimate scenes?"

Leon thought about it and remembered: "Yesterday was the same. The scene that we sat together, watching TV. You resisted leaning against me, why?"

It never occurred to Jules that he would have performed so badly before the one he liked, and making himself look like a fool was the last thing he wanted Leon to see. Jules said quickly, "No, no, I am willing to do it! I will adjust myself. I am so so sorry..."

"I didn't blame you. There is no need to apologize." Leon doubted it was the last time he would have to tell Jules, pronouncing from the belly scared him. Otherwise, why is it that every time they discussed the details of the shoot, Jules was always so panic.

Leon paused for one second, and then lowered his voice, "I am not bullying you. Don't fear. Just... just be a little softer. Work with me."

Leon figured it was because Jules had a fear for shooting intimate scenes. Leon twisted his head and glanced at Tripp to ensure he was not looking. Leon said in a low voice, "I will try my best to lead you, give you signals, so you will find it easier to follow. Nevertheless, you have to progress. If you work with an actress next time, will you need her to lead you?"

Jules cried inside his heart. He would not do this with any others!

However, Leon's words were so gentle that Jules could not contradict him. Jules accepted Leon's suggestion with meekness and thanked in a whisper: "Thank you...Thank you, Mr. Leon."

Leon smiled, and gave Jules a noogie.

"What's the old man doing?" Leon kept waiting for a long time but still could not see Tripp come to criticize them, which made him quite uncomfortable. He frowned at Tripp who kept discussing with the scriptwriter not far from them: "Look at the bloody performance you gave! Fancy he was not calling your name!"

Jules: "..."

Sherry, one of the scriptwriters, was pointing out something in the script and said, "These are all parenthetical parts of memory. After discussing, we all agreed that there shouldn't be too many lines here, or it will also be difficult to do post-editing."

Tripp nodded, "That's what I mean. We didn't realize this before. After actually shooting for two days, there're several problems that need to be resolved. We need to think carefully about some details."

Tripp and the scriptwriter found some problems with the honeymoon period. They put all other issues aside, and called other scriptwriters to modify the script immediately, which delayed the schedule of the shoot.

Also, the actors were not at their best. Not only Jules, but also Leon was not at his peak. The crew decided to slow down the progress, playing for safety and improvement.

The time Jules and Leon spent waiting in the dressing room dragged on.
