Chapter 45: Just Dedication
...
According to the script:
Next, Xu Kai tore Dong Ni's clothes and beat her with a belt, and the two of them had a passionate fight on the bed.
After finishing, Xu Kai patted his butt and left indifferently, leaving Dong Ni behind.
Dong Ni not only did not cry, nor was she angry, but instead a silly smile appeared on her face with a blush on it.
The plot of the script is that Xu Kai thought he had conquered Dong Ni, but unexpectedly the hunter was trapped by the prey instead, and Dong Ni thought she was smart, but unexpectedly fell into her own trap and couldn't extricate herself.
Since then, Xu Kai and Dong Ni have become a pair of desperate lovers...
Logically speaking, Xu Kai had already taught Dong Ni everything he could in advance. With Xu Kai, an experienced veteran, leading the performance, Dong Ni, who had studied at the Central Academy of Drama for a year, should be able to pass this scene.
But during foreplay, Dong Ni had no problem at all, but when Xu Kai started to kiss her, she became so nervous that her whole body trembled, and then she couldn't go on.
After three NGs in a row, how could the experienced Linda not see that Dong Ni was a complete rookie with zero experience? "Click."
After stopping everyone, Linda winked at Xu Kai, indicating that Xu Kai should solve the problem.
Xu Kai was somewhat speechless: "Why do you want me to do the assistant director's job?"
Xu Kai had no idea that Lin Da had seen the entire process of him rehearsing the play with Dong Ni.
In Linda's opinion, Xu Kai is obviously more professional than Zhang Hongbo, at least when it comes to explaining plays.
Therefore, Lin Da, who has always been pragmatic, left the task of explaining the play to Dong Ni to Xu Kai.
Xu Kai was also unwilling to waste too much time here, because acting in bed scenes was really uncomfortable. You know, what Xu Kai hated most in his life was seeing something but not being able to eat it.
In order to get off work early, Xu Kai could only pull Dong Ni aside and said to her: "I won't preach to you. If you want to play the role of Dong Xiaoshi, you must pass this test, otherwise Director Lin will definitely replace you."
Dong Ni heard this and bit her lower lip without saying anything.
Seeing this, Xu Kai asked Dong Ni directly: "You have never been kissed?"
Dong Ni turned her head away and did not deny Xu Kai's guess.
Xu Kai saw this and understood.
After a moment of silence, Xu Kai said, "I have a suggestion for you. You can call Pan Xiaowei, or someone else you like, and kiss him. This will help you get over this hurdle."
Pan Xiaowei, who was not far away, was so excited that his whole body trembled when he heard Xu Kai's suggestion to Dong Ni. He was extremely excited and thought: "Can I get my first kiss today? No, no, no, can I get Xiao Ni's first kiss today?"
Pan Xiaowei looked at Dong Ni anxiously, expecting Dong Ni to call him over! But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Pan Xiaowei and everyone else present!
Dong Ni unexpectedly held Xu Kai's face and kissed him hard on the mouth without any warning!
"Oh my god, is Dong Shishi so fierce?"
"This is a real kiss, there's no plastic wrap, Dong Shishi is going all out?"
"Wow! Look, Pan Xiaowei's face has turned pale!"
“…”
"Why are you gossiping so much? They are just auditioning. This is the self-cultivation of an actor. Why are you so filthy?"
After being scolded by Linda, those who were talking about it all shrank their heads and dared not say anything about Xu Kai and Dong Ni anymore.
Pan Xiaowei, who was originally heartbroken, immediately found a reason to convince himself after hearing Linda's words: "Yes, yes, Xiaoni is auditioning. This is an actor's self-cultivation. She is just dedicated to her work!"
At the same time, Pan Xiaowei regretted scolding Dong Ni yesterday. He couldn't help thinking, "If it weren't for me scolding Xiao Ni, she wouldn't have asked Yu Qingyun to audition."
Hu Man, who was beside Pan Xiaowei, said to Pan Xiaowei: "Based on my experience, you'd better not watch the person you like filming sex scenes. I think my ex-boyfriend broke up with me because he saw me filming sex scenes with someone else."
"Isn't your ex-boyfriend an actor?" Pan Xiaowei said absentmindedly.
"No." said Hu Man.
"It's normal that he can't accept it."
Pan Xiaowei looked at Hu Man, and then seemed to be talking to Hu Man, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "He has never studied acting, he doesn't understand it at all. Whether it's a bed scene or a kissing scene, it's all just the friction of flesh against flesh. It doesn't count and doesn't represent anything."
"Well, I am too narrow-minded."
Hu Man said in astonishment, and then she had a better impression of Pan Xiaowei for understanding the meaning of "girlfriend" in this way.
Based on this favorable impression, Hu Man advised Pan Xiaowei again: "It takes a lot of courage to watch someone you like filming a sex scene. You...or forget it."
"I'm fine, Sister Man, believe me, I can definitely overcome it." Pan Xiaowei said seriously: "This scene is a huge challenge for Shishi, I have to be here with her and give her confidence."
After hearing Pan Xiaowei's touching words, Hu Man felt that Pan Xiaowei was a good man.
On the other side, Dong Ni kissed Xu Kai for more than a minute and still didn't give up.
Xu Kai was also a little reluctant to leave.
But with so many people watching around, Xu Kai couldn't just keep kissing Dong Ni endlessly and let others think and talk nonsense, right?
So, feeling that Dong Ni was kissing very naturally, Xu Kai gently patted Dong Ni's shoulder.
Dong Ni then woke up from her dream, let go of Xu Kai's waist, and took a step back.
"Just act out this scene with this feeling in mind. You will definitely pass it. Believe me." Xu Kai gave Dong Ni a way out at the right time.
After hearing that, Dong Ni's heart, which had been beating wildly, calmed down a little.
Xu Kai knew that Dong Ni needed time to calm down.
Therefore, Xu Kai, who was also feeling a little hot, went out to drink a glass of water to cool down.
When Xu Kai came back, Dong Ni lowered her voice and said to him, "This is my first kiss, you must remember it."
Without waiting for Xu Kai to respond, Dong Ni said to Lin Da: "Director, I'm ready."
"Actors reset, do it again, scene 4, shot 1, take 5, four times."
When everyone was ready, Linda gave the order: "Begin!"
The shoot went very smoothly and Xu Kai and Dong Ni kissed each other easily.
but--
Not everything goes as planned.
When Xu Kai was acting with Dong Ni before, he had already agreed with her that the first kiss between them would be real, because it was a close-up and could not be faked. For the rest, they could use stand-ins if possible, for example, Xu Kai could kiss the corner of Dong Ni's mouth. As long as he found the right shot, the audience would not be able to tell that they did not really kiss.
But after the performance started, Dong Ni seemed to have forgotten what Xu Kai had said to her, and she actually took it all seriously.
And Dong Ni is unusually proactive.
In Xu Kai's opinion, Dong Ni must be deeply immersed in the role.
There was no other way. Xu Kai was led by Dong Ni and had to play with her for real.
Linda originally planned to shoot this scene in multiple takes.
But seeing that Xu Kai and Dong Ni were serious, Lin Da immediately gestured to the photographer who had worked with him for more than ten years to shoot the whole scene in one take...
