After the costume fitting, we went straight into filming. Because the film's production cycle is very short, it requires a fast pace. Basically, after about a month of shooting, we had to move on to post-production. Post-production is crucial, and it usually takes about six months before the film can be released.
To help the male and female leads get to know each other as quickly as possible, the director arranged for the first scene to be the female lead and the immortal entering the bridal chamber.
This made Song Ning a little embarrassed, since there was a kissing scene involved.
She had no choice but to say, "Director, can I use a camera trick for the kissing scene?"
Director Zhu Pi shook his head. "No, the film and television industry is too competitive these days. If it's not a real relationship, the audience won't like it. You need to let loose and get into character. Don't be shy, after all, you're married."
"That's precisely why I have to avoid it."
Song Ning couldn't believe it. If Huo Bei'an saw the intense kissing scene on his phone, would he be so jealous that he would go crazy?
"Oh, what's there to be shy about? Chu Ruobai has never even been in a relationship. She's only 19, so young. You're the one who benefits from the kiss. If you ask me, a lot of women would envy you."
The director patted her on the shoulder with a mischievous grin, making her feel a little embarrassed.
She should have known better than to take the role in this movie, but the contract was already signed, and it was too late to back out.
We had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
"Scene 001, Act 1!"
The director held up the sign, finished speaking, and then began filming.
The general plot of this scene is that the immortal lord, for the sake of the female lead, is willing to offend many immortals in order to marry her. The two then consummate their marriage.
Although Chu Ruobai is very young, his acting skills are undeniable, after all, he graduated from a drama academy.
He was dressed in a flowing robe that exuded an ethereal aura. With his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he was tall and imposing. He pulled Song Ning into his arms, his large hands with bulging veins as he held her slender waist close.
At that moment, Song Ning suddenly felt a jolt of electricity run through her waist. Although she knew it was all an act, the sudden close contact between two strangers, a man and a woman, was really uncomfortable.
I felt a sense of shame.
Chu Ruobai's deep eyes were filled with affection as he recited the lines from the script, "My lady, I love you."
"I love you too."
Song Ning was reciting her lines when, in the next second, Chu Ruobai slowly lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"Mmm..." Song Ning's lips were firmly sealed by him, leaving her speechless.
She trembled slightly. After all, the man in front of her was a handsome young man. Who could stop him?
Although Song Ning kept telling herself that it was just acting and not to take it seriously, she still felt guilty towards her husband. Especially since she was pregnant with his child...
This is so embarrassing...
"Cut! Good, very good!"
The director read it out, and the two quickly separated.
Chu Ruobai immediately bowed and apologized gently to Song Ning, "Sister Song Ning, I'm sorry, I offended you just now."
"It's...it's okay..."
Song Ning didn't dare to look up at him; she could only feel her ears and neck turning red.
But she didn't notice that Chu Ruobai's ear tips were also red.
That was not only his first on-screen kiss, but also the first time in his life he had ever kissed a girl...
The feeling of kissing is so wonderful...
He admitted that he really felt something just now...
Although he knew that Song Ning was already married, this only made him more excited when they kissed.
After all, being so inexperienced, he was far too sensitive...
Chu Ruobai was very worried; if they continued filming, how excited he would become.
He mustered up his courage and said to Song Ning, "Teacher Song, can we add each other on WeChat?"
Song Ning hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, "Okay. I'll scan you."
The two added each other on WeChat. Chu Ruobai's WeChat name, "Poverty-stricken Duck," was quite interesting.
After the initial contact and adjustment during the first kissing scene, the two worked together much better in the subsequent filming.
During filming, Chu Ruobai was very considerate of Song Ning's feelings. In all their scenes together, whenever Song Ning felt uncomfortable, he would adjust the pace and accommodate her.
During breaks in filming, he would thoughtfully bring her water.
"Thank you." Song Ning had a pretty good impression of this young man.
When Chu Ruobai was resting, he would take out his phone, open Song Ning's WeChat Moments, read every single post, and like them one by one.
Looking at her WeChat Moments, Song Ning seems like a very genuine woman. She's unpretentious and genuine, and her attitude towards life is positive and optimistic.
Chu Ruobai felt a little regretful. If only Song Ning hadn't gotten married, since everyone knew she was Mrs. Lian.
The filming pace was very fast, from morning until 1 a.m.
It was almost 2 a.m. when Song Ning got home.
When she got home, the bedroom light was still on. Song Ning took off her high heels and went into the bedroom.
Huo Beian was lying in bed reading when he saw his wife return. He immediately got up and went over to hug her.
"Honey, how was today's shoot?"
"It's alright, but—" Song Ning was a little embarrassed.
"But what? Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll go settle the score with them."
How can we allow someone to bully his wife?
"No one bullies me because the male lead is a 19-year-old male college student. Honey, you won't mind, will you?"
After Song Ning finished speaking, she immediately reached out and hugged his neck, then kissed him on the cheek.
"I won't mind. It's all just acting, I understand. That's how the acting profession is." Huo Beian didn't think much of it.
