They filmed their respective scenes at noon, and in the afternoon the director called them over to reshoot the scene from the previous day.
The crew was still setting up the venue. Fu Shiyi looked around, then leaned closer to her and asked in a low voice.
"Are you really going to film it?"
"Is it okay if we don't film now?" Gu Weiwei asked rhetorically.
Despite their repeated attempts to persuade him in the morning, director Yi An did not give up on the idea of having them film a kissing scene.
"We're going to film it now, and this day next year will be my death anniversary, okay?" Fu Shiyi said, looking aggrieved.
Gu Weiwei rubbed her forehead. "It can't be that bad, can it? We're brothers, after all."
“You don’t understand my brother at all,” Fu Shiyi sighed.
He and Fu Shiqin, even his father and the old man, were not afraid of anyone in the family, except for their eldest brother.
"Just pretend to be drunk and lie there. I'll use a camera angle to fake it; it won't be a real kiss."
"No, even using a fake position won't work."
"So what do you want?"
"Even if we're just pretending to be close and it's not a real kiss, if my brother thinks we are, I'm still doomed."
Fu Shiyi firmly shook his head, opposing his suggestion to use a substitute position.
As the two were talking, director Yi An spoke through a megaphone.
"Actors in position, ready to begin filming."
Fu Shiyi glanced at her, then walked toward the camera with a tragic expression.
Tang Shaoqi and Gu Changfeng first met in Ningcheng and admired each other's skills. The two traveled together for half a month.
Tang Shaoqi helped Gu Changfeng fight off people who wanted to steal treasure maps, and Gu Changfeng also helped Tang Shaoqi deal with people who came seeking revenge.
After drinking, Gu Changfeng proposed to Tang Shaoqi that they become sworn brothers, but Tang Shaoqi refused.
As the sun sets, a tavern stands by the lake.
Gu Changfeng poured two bowls of wine with great gusto and said.
"Brother Tang, we've been through life and death together several times."
"How about... we become sworn brothers while there's a Guan Gong temple up ahead?"
Tang Shaoqi picked up his wine and took a small sip. "I won't become sworn brothers with you."
"Why?" Gu Changfeng asked, puzzled.
"I'm leaving tomorrow," Tang Shaoqi said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng poured her another bowl of wine, saying, "Then let's drink until we drop to bid you farewell."
As night fell, both of them were indeed quite drunk.
Tang Shaoqi propped her forehead with one hand, sobered up a bit, opened her eyes, and looked at Gu Changfeng, who was lying unconscious on the table next to her.
The usually aloof young master of the Tang Clan softened his gaze inch by inch, and reached out to stroke Gu Changfeng's cheek.
Do you know why I cannot become your brother?
After she finished speaking, she slowly leaned closer to Gu Changfeng...
...
In front of the monitor, director Yi An and screenwriter watched the crucial step with bated breath.
As a result, Gu Weiwei stopped just one centimeter away and didn't kiss him.
Fu Shiyi looked even more troubled, completely losing the feeling they were trying to capture.
"Cut!" the director shouted.
"What are you waiting for? Get him there and kiss him!"
"And Gu Changfeng, what's with that death-defying look on your face? Are you going to be kissed to death?"
"..." Fu Shiyi felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.
Gu Weiwei was both amused and exasperated. "Director Yi, how about... we try a different approach? I really can't bring myself to kiss him."
She really couldn't bring herself to kiss Fu Shiyi.
Director Yi An sighed. Considering her young age, it was indeed too much to ask her to film a kissing scene.
"Shi Yi, Tang Shaoqi has no experience. You've filmed a lot of kissing scenes, so teach her."
"Huh?" Fu Shiyi's eyes widened.
They even want him to teach his brother's girlfriend to kiss him. Are they all trying to kill him?
Gu Weiwei sighed with a headache, got up and went to the director to make the suggestion.
"Director Yi, I have a different idea for this scene. How about... we act it out the way I want first and you can see?"
