Seventeen
They both looked at Ah Hua, who continued, "At this point, Yun Cen's love for Qi Ci has faded, and he's even tired of her. Yet, Lu Jinfeng's eyes act like he's just started dating and trying to coax her, affectionate and gentle. Yun Cen only has two lines in this scene, yet Lu Jinfeng says so much. While Yun Cen's hypocrisy is evident, doesn't his patience in this scene seem at odds with the indifference Yun Cen displayed before and after the script?"
"How about making Yun Cen's character in the script a little more subtle, making his villainy more subtle," Li Xuanyue suggested. "That might make Yun Cen's final choice more reasonable. While it might reduce the irony, it's worth a try."
Ah Hua frowned and thought for a moment, "This change is actually possible, but the previous filming may need to be readjusted."
"That's not so bad," Li Xuanyue smiled speechlessly, "Lu Jinfeng didn't have many scenes before, so changing it now won't be a big loss."
I've never taken a peaceful photo before...
Seeing that the props team had almost finished setting up the scene, Li Xuanyue urged Lu Jinfeng, "Lu Jinfeng, why don't you go change your clothes? The next kissing scene doesn't require you to perform it yourself, but it still requires some shots. You know that."
Lu Jinfeng only just remembered what the next scene was. He paused for a second and then left.
Li Xuanyue looked at Ah Hua with concern. "If that's the case, a lot of things will have to be revised. Can you handle this workload?"
"It's okay. I've been putting all my heart and soul into this lately anyway."
After hearing this, Li Xuanyue glanced at Lu Jinfeng's back and said, "Now that the role of Yun Cen is being developed according to Lu Jinfeng's wishes, he will have more room to act."
"Isn't this good?"
“It’s good for the movie.”
For the next kissing scene, since the previous communication had no results, Li Xuanyue didn't try to persuade her and decided to use a stand-in. She specially reset the storyboard a few days ago to make the stand-in's kissing scene less abrupt.
Li Xuanyue first asked Bai Shunan and his stand-in Chen Ting to try out the effect on the bed. Chen Ting looked good, but he didn't look like Lu Jinfeng. The main reason for choosing Chen Ting as Lu Jinfeng's stand-in was that his figure was like Lu Jinfeng. For this reason, the original frontal kissing scene was changed to a side shot.
Bai Shunan watched Li Xuanyue pose on the side and didn't think anything of it. Instead, Chen Ting looked at Bai Shunan nervously.
During this process, Li Xuanyue couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Jinfeng beside her. She brought the two of them very close and said, "We'll kiss at this angle later, okay?"
After discovering that Bai Shunan far exceeded his expectations, Li Xuanyue's attitude towards Bai Shunan became more gentle.
"Got it." Bai Shunan noticed Chen Ting's nervousness and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll bring you here."
After the filming started, Bai Shunan skillfully placed his hand on Chen Ting's shoulder.
"Kiss slowly." Li Xuanyue instructed.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Shunan smiled, closed his eyes and kissed her slowly.
"Okay, good. Chen Ting will step down and Lu Jinfeng will take over."
Lu Jinfeng sat in the position where Chen Ting had just sat. Bai Shunan in front of him smiled and put his hand on his shoulder. They maintained this posture, waiting for the camera to move forward.
Lu Jinfeng looked at Bai Shunan's smile and remembered that day when he felt sick, he randomly clicked on a movie from nine years ago. It was as if God was playing a joke on him, and he saw Bai Shunan again. At that time, Bai Shunan still had a short haircut, was whiter than he is now, and was a teenager of eighteen or nineteen years old. His vibrant vitality was displayed in every second he appeared in the shot.
He looked back at the camera, his eyes clear, heroic and handsome. He opened his mouth slightly, revealing a few teeth, and a smile appeared.
The person in the camera stares at the camera intently, as if staring at the person in front of the screen, real yet distant.
Lu Jinfeng wondered what his expression would be like now, so he raised his head and saw the person in front of him smiling.
Memories and reality overlap, as if a lock that has been silent for many years has finally received its unique key.
"Lu Jinfeng, what are you doing standing there? Give me some reaction." Li Xuanyue looked at Lu Jinfeng, who was motionless in the camera, with a cold face, and her anger suddenly rose.
Lu Jinfeng came back to his senses and felt at a loss. He subconsciously disliked Bai Shunan, but he couldn't help but look up at him again.
It is obviously the same person, but because of the passing of time, I have different feelings.
He wanted to find more faults of Bai Shunan, so he kept thinking about it in his mind. When he was interrupted by Li Xuanyue again and again, he thought about another problem, which made him start to feel scared. He shouldn't care about him so much.
Thinking of this, Lu Jinfeng frowned.
"That's enough," Li Xuanyue said, unable to suppress her anger after repeated NGs. Something always felt wrong with the hug and gaze between the two of them, but she was unwilling to let the scene go. After all, this was Yun Cen and Qi Ci's first kiss since they met. "I just finished praising you guys, and you turned around and acted like this. You fall apart when it comes to intimate scenes. Especially you, Lu Jinfeng. You've been in so many relationships, why are you still acting like a fool..."
Li Xuanyue sighed, a flicker of pain on her face. She waved her hand, "Forget it, forget it. Let's put this scene aside for now. Let's all take a break and prepare for the next one. Otherwise, if we keep shooting like this, we might not be able to finish it by tomorrow."
It would be a while before Bai Shunan's scene started, so he sat aside and waited. As he sat there, he became sleepy. He was leaning against the wall at first, but when Zhang Wei had time to come and see him, he lowered his head and leaned on Zhang Wei's shoulder, "Why did you give my address to Lu Jinfeng?"
"His agent came to ask, saying that Lu Jinfeng wanted to look for you to act with, so I gave it to him. I even sent you multiple messages before he did. So, did he look for you?"
"I'm going," Bai Shunan closed his sore eyes and said tiredly, "I'm sleepy."
"Go to sleep later. I just checked the schedule and you have one more scene left today."
"Okay." Bai Shunan rested his chin on Zhang Wei's shoulder. They both looked at the message on their phones. It was an interview invitation. "Let's turn it down."
"Their family interviewed Lu Jinfeng not long ago." Zhang Wei began to look through the clips of that interview.
"Why me?"
"I think they heard you'll be playing Qi Ci. This role has been gaining popularity after several casting changes recently, and with Lu Jinfeng's departure, the controversy continues. They wanted to capitalize on this wave of popularity and interview you."
Soon, Zhang Wei turned out the interview clip, and Lu Jinfeng's face attracted people to watch as soon as it appeared.
After Lu Jinfeng answered the reporter's several questions that were full of traps without any mistakes, he was shocked.
The reporter asked again, "During your student days, who left the most impression on you?"
Hearing this question, Lu Jinfeng's smile on the screen froze for a moment. He laughed heartily, his eyes showing no emotion: "No one."
