Chapter 389 - 389 241

Chapter 389: Chapter 241 Chapter 389: Chapter 241 “Of course, this is just a suggestion from the director and me, and for the sake of the whole drama, we hope you can accept this adjustment. After all, you are professional actors, and filming kiss scenes is quite normal, you might even encounter more intimate scenes in the future. But if you really can’t accept it, we can still shoot with stand-ins according to the original script.”

Modifying the script is a fairly common occurrence; since joining the production, Wenyan had improvised several times on the spot.

Whether it was slightly changing a line or two, or adding a few actions, of course, it was all in the service of a better dramatic presentation.

Now that the director and screenwriter’s reasoning was solid, and it wasn’t anything that crossed the line, Wenyan felt there was no issue as an actor.

She nodded her head, “Alright, I also think this change is better than the original, it definitely adds more depth.”

“Great!” The director nodded and then looked at Xun Letian, “You shouldn’t have a problem either, right?”

If Wenyan had no issue, how could Xun Letian possibly object?

He also nodded, “I have no problem either.”

“Then that’s settled, you two are almost done with the preparations. Let’s run through it once. Makeup artist, come over and deal with the actor’s wound on his face. This wound is too obvious, in the drama it’s been half a day and the blood is still this red? That would give us away. Costume and Props Department, you must be meticulous!”

After the makeup team bustled over and finished their work, the two actors began to rehearse the scene.

Since filming a kiss scene involves many camera positions, they had to take care of every angle.

Therefore, Wenyan and Xun Letian needed to keep adjusting their positions to find the best angle and stance.

After about four or five tries, the director finally confirmed the final position.

“Yes, yes, yes, just like that. At that moment, Letian, your hand should start by hanging down without moving, and after the kiss on the forehead, involuntarily place it on Wenyan’s waist. Wenyan, you have to remember not to hug back immediately; your response should be a beat slower than his, OK?”

“OK!” both of them said in unison.

However, they had to make several adjustments due to lighting and other factors during filming, so the scene was shot three or four times before it was perfect.

“Cut! Good, that’s a wrap. This last take was especially good.”

Generally, when a director says this, they show the playback to the actors.

Wenyan and Xun Letian then moved to the monitor.

The screen on the equipment was quite small, and since the actors, director, and other crew members were all watching together, they inevitably crowded close.

This was another rare occasion when Wenyan and Xun Letian stood closer together aside from filming.

After finishing the scene, they returned to the hotel, where He Xing helped Wenyan untie her hair.

While undoing it, she asked, “Yanyan, did that Xun Letian pull any tricks during the kiss scene today?”

“No. Weren’t you watching from the side the whole time? If he played any pranks, how could you not be aware? What’s the matter, are you truly reporting my daily life to your sister Luong as if you’re keeping a ledger?”

He Xing laughed slyly, “It’s part of my job responsibilities. Standing on the side, I didn’t see Xun Letian do anything excessive, but did he…”

Speaking, He Xing suddenly lowered her voice, “Did he secretly stick out his tongue?”

“Hey!!!” Wenyan’s pupils shook, and she gave He Xing a wide-eyed stare in the mirror, “You’re disgusting, what on earth is going through your little mind all day long?”

“Just the usual thoughts…” He Xing answered nonchalantly, “What else is there to think about a kiss? Oh, I get it, have you actually never been in a relationship?”

“Me?” Wenyan turned to look at He Xing, “Are you saying I’ve never been in a relationship? Please, do you know how many TV dramas and movies I’ve watched? I might not have eaten pork, but I’ve seen pigs run.”

“Is that so,” He Xing raised an eyebrow, “Then you still haven’t been in a relationship. Ah!”

She suddenly exclaimed: “Then this must have been your first kiss! Ahhh, that’s so annoying, how could this happen, that Xun Letian took your first kiss.”

“…” Wenyan, “Why are you more excited than I am?”

“Of course, it’s your first kiss, Yanyan!”

Sparkling by He Xing’s words, Wenyan suddenly felt a little regretful.

But she quickly got over it.

“If it’s a first kiss, it’s a first kiss; what’s the big deal? In life, everything happens for the first time. If you put it that way, I think my first kiss should have been given to my mom. She must have been the first to kiss my lips when I was an infant, way before any male lead.”
