CHAPTER 849: CHAPTER 851: PITCH-BLACK DARKNESS

Jinxia’s face showed a hint of annoyance, "How could it be today? I didn’t receive any notice at all. If it were today, maybe I could have rushed to join the promotion."

Sheng Yan tapped her head across his hat, "Don’t think too much. You’re human, not a god; not everything can be perfectly arranged.

Since we’re at the cinema, let’s just enjoy watching a movie together. We can talk about anything else tomorrow."

Jinxia was stunned for a moment, "Wait, you brought me to the cinema to see this movie?"

Sheng Yan snapped his fingers, "Yes, we’re watching ’Special Action.’ Let’s go; it’s already been running for over ten minutes. Let’s hurry in, don’t waste the tickets I bought at a high price from scalpers."

He quickly ushered the dazed Jinxia into the screening room.

As they entered the screening room, he noticed a flash out of the corner of his eye, and his brow furrowed slightly.

He took out his phone and sent a message to the driver waiting outside.

On the gigantic movie screen, Li Xiaoxiao was looking defiantly at Fang Yu, thinking his skills weren’t as good as hers and insisting on challenging him.

Fang Yu ignored her, but unable to resist Li Xiaoxiao’s persistence, the two engaged in a skirmish.

There was no doubt that Li Xiaoxiao lost this match.

Afterwards, Li Xiaoxiao started to pester Fang Yu, trying to persuade him to go to a war-torn area to be her bodyguard, intent on getting the first-hand photos and information.

Watching the screen with Li Xiaoxiao shouting and jumping, Jinxia felt as if it were a lifetime ago.

The last time she shot this scene was half a year ago.

After finishing filming, she had immediately moved on to the next movie, which caused her to forget a lot of the details from this one. Watching it again, she was amazed by Director Qian’s impressive editing.

She vaguely remembered that her performance was just an ordinary argument, but the characters on the screen came alive, vividly depicting Li Xiaoxiao’s traits.

Sheng Yan bent down to whisper in her ear, his breath tickling her neck.

"Your portrayal of Li Xiaoxiao makes people love and hate her. Many netizens are discussing you, Jinxia, you’ve become famous."

The man’s presence surrounded her, making Jinxia shrink her neck involuntarily, her heart divided in two—a half attracted to Sheng Yan’s actions, the other thinking about the online discussions.

Jinxia tried to lean back, but Sheng Yan wouldn’t allow her, instead wrapping his long arm around her, pulling her into his embrace.

Jinxia’s heart skipped, sensing that Mr. Sheng was very different today, becoming more bossy and assertive—and in front of people!

Previously, Sheng Yan would only make small moves when it was just the two of them, but now his boldness had evolved, and he was openly showing affection in public!

This scared Jinxia, who was still adhering to the principle of "express affection but maintain decorum".

Her head was forced to lean on Sheng Yan’s shoulder; the movie had just started, yet her heart was already racing.

Jinxia suddenly felt like drinking water, but they had rushed in, so they hadn’t bought any.

Helplessly, Jinxia decided to bow her head and glance at her phone on WeBlog.

Just as she opened WeBlog, her phone was naturally whisked away by the man beside her. Sheng Yan bent down and softly kissed her forehead through the mask, "Watch the movie properly, hmm?"

Jinxia’s face turned slightly red, quietly reaching out to pinch his waist, she whispered like an ant: "You—be honest!"

Sheng Yan’s expression remained unchanged as he quickly caught her hand, occasionally running his little finger across her palm, really...

Jinxia could no longer find words to describe Sheng Yan’s shamelessness!

There’s a word that fits him perfectly — covertly flirtatious, shy in public but overly bold in private!

Watch the movie?

Jinxia felt Mr. Sheng appeared not to be interested in the movie, but rather in taking advantage!

She took a few deep breaths and silently recited the Heart Clarity Spell, staring at the large screen with full concentration, striving to calm her heartbeat.

Once her mind settled, she could clearly observe the strengths of "Special Action."

Huaxia’s immersive 3D technology is quite impressive. Now, even at home watching TV dramas or variety shows, people can choose between 2D and 3D versions.

It can be said that immersive 3D technology has permeated every aspect of Huaxia people’s lives.

A few years ago, the rapid advent of 3D conversion technology triggered a series of reforms in the entertainment circle, and it was during that time that Jinxia emerged as a member of a girl group.

However, within different channels, immersive 3D technology varies.

As always, the more you spend, the higher the quality you’ll receive.

When watching different TV dramas, audiences can also discern whether the 3D immersive technology used is poor.

Director Qian claimed he invested almost all the money into the film, which Jinxia believes, because "Special Action’s" immersive 3D technology is very good.

At least from her perspective as an industry insider, she hasn’t noticed any obvious flaws.

No one can deny the realism of the scenes, which were authentically filmed in war-torn countries, unlike scenes modeled purely through special effects, giving it a natural advantage.

Even the gunfights were executed with real bullets and guns, providing unparalleled visual enjoyment.

In the film, even the scenes with rocket launchers and shells were truly happening in L country’s site!

Of course, the crew wasn’t bold enough to have real terrorists perform on camera; the scenes where the rocket launcher hits were entirely constructed by the crew in L country.

They built a slum themselves and then destroyed it with a rocket launcher; Director Qian was heartbroken during filming, shouting about the waste.

At that time, Jinxia watched from the sidelines, not feeling the same way, but instead excited by the spectacle!

Now witnessing that scene in the movie, she felt that heroic sensation, somewhat understanding Director Qian’s distress over the burning money.

Originally, Sheng Yan brought Jinxia to watch the movie to show her how popular "Special Action" was and how brilliantly she performed. But once in the cinema, his focus drifted entirely towards Jinxia.

He swore that the initial intention for coming to the cinema didn’t include any improper thoughts, but unfortunately, Madam Sheng’s wandering mind had made his imagination run wild too.

As Sheng Yan watched, he suddenly found it a bit dull and instinctively sought Jinxia’s reaction, so he removed the 3D glasses.

When he took them off, he spotted a couple close together in the front row to the left.

In the dim light, the screen’s explosive scene illuminated them slightly, revealing that they were clearly kissing.

Sheng Yan felt his heart stirred.
