Filming for "The Long Wind" is nearing its end, with each day spent moving between various locations to shoot outdoor scenes.
However, the scene filmed was the one where Tang Shaoqi and Gu Changfeng first met in their youth, became friends, and were about to part ways.
After several takes, director Yi An was still not satisfied, feeling that something was missing.
So, the two of them filmed that scene several times in a row.
The screenwriter stared at the footage on the monitor, watched it several times, and then made a suggestion.
"I'm thinking... should we add a kissing scene between Tang Shaoqi and Gu Changfeng?"
The director listened, then nodded in sudden understanding.
"Yes, yes, that's it. I always felt like something was missing, and this is it."
Tang Shaoqi has feelings for Gu Changfeng, but the way they're portrayed in the film feels a bit weak.
If there were a kissing scene like that, everything would become clear.
Moreover, Tang Shaoqi is a person who clearly distinguishes between love and hate.
Therefore, her feelings for Gu Changfeng necessitate this kissing scene.
"Once I found inspiration," Director Yi An said, pressing the megaphone.
"All departments, get ready for this reshoot."
"Tang Shaoqi and Gu Changfeng will have a kissing scene added. You two need to get ready."
"..." Gu Weiwei dropped the water bottle in her hand with a thud.
What is that?
Let her film a kissing scene with Fu Shiyi.
Fu Shiyi was resting on the ground when he heard that filming was about to begin. He got up to prepare, but when he heard director Yi An's second sentence, his legs went weak with fright.
"Director Yi, what were you talking about... a kissing scene?"
"Add a kissing scene between Tang Shaoqi and Gu Changfeng to highlight Tang Shaoqi's character traits," the director reiterated.
Fu Shiyi slowly turned his head and looked at Gu Weiwei, who was touching up her makeup, his lips twitching.
"Director, let's not film any kissing scenes in this martial arts movie, okay?"
“Director Yi, I think so too. Ancient martial arts dramas are more charming when they are a bit subtle,” Gu Weiwei added.
She simply couldn't bring herself to kiss Fu Shiyi.
Director Yi Andi looked at the two people who refused to film the kissing scene with a strange expression. "Hey, what's wrong with you two? It's just a kissing scene, why are you being so dramatic?"
"I don't really like filming kissing scenes," Fu Shiyi said with a look of refusal.
Director Yi rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "Since you entered the film industry, you've kissed half of the female stars in the entertainment circle, and you still say you don't like filming kissing scenes?"
Mu Weiwei is young, and she said she's not used to filming kissing scenes, which he can accept.
He's a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, and he's being all high and mighty here, refusing to film kissing scenes. What's the meaning of that?
"Director, we really can't film this kissing scene," Fu Shiyi said with a mournful face.
If he dares to film a kissing scene with his future sister-in-law, his brother will kill him.
Moreover, even if it were made, given his brother's brutality, the film's release would likely be problematic.
"We must film it," the director said resolutely.
"I'm fine with it, but that girl is only a teenager. She might lose her first kiss just like that. Wouldn't that be heartbreaking?" Fu Shiyi pointed at Gu Weiwei.
Gu Weiwei cooperated perfectly, her eyes reddening as she feigned pitifulness.
Director Yi An sighed, checked the time, and said...
"Alright, let's stop filming here for today. Weiwei, prepare yourself mentally tonight, and we'll continue filming tomorrow."
Gu Weiwei sighed with a headache; it seemed they were forced to film it.
As soon as he finished work and returned to the hotel, Fu Shiyi nervously sent a WeChat message to his older brother to report the emergency.
[Brother, the director added a scene today, requiring Mu Weiwei and me to film a kissing scene.]
A minute later, Fu Hanzheng replied with five words.
[How do you want to die?]
