The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 259 Clearing the Scene! Giving Brother Yuan some space to film the kissing scene!
……

"Caravaggio's use of light and shadow is full of drama."

"He often superimposed the likenesses of prostitutes and criminals onto the faces of saints... causing a great uproar in Florence at the time."

"However, the reason he was able to cause such a huge uproar must be because his lighting and shadow techniques are unique!"

"After looking at it carefully, I discovered that in his paintings, the places where light shines are where power is born!"

"In that case, during the filming of this movie, we can also use strong lighting to suggest which character holds the power to turn the tide of fate in each scene!"

"This power to turn the tide does not necessarily belong to the protagonist."

In the movie "Project Gutenberg", there are many fateful transitions, but Li Wen, who is the main character in the story, does not play a decisive role.

On the contrary, it was the painter's character who, most of the time, was pushing Li Wen forward!

The painter does not exist.

He is the second personality that Li Wen released after experiencing multiple blows!

Cruel, elegant, violent, and never to be defeated!
As for the character Ruan Wen, he was created by Li Wen's imagination... an alienated version of himself, an angelic being, and his own salvation.

From a certain perspective, these three characters are actually projections of Li Wen's own inner self.

Zhuang Wenqiang's script is indeed very well written.

It was the most elegant script Lu Zhiyuan had ever seen.

The more he pondered it, the more he felt its subtlety.

The only regret is that Zhuang Wenqiang himself is not that skilled in the art of light and shadow.

His presence here is to help Zhuang Wenqiang fill the last gap in his defenses!

……

Beside the old bridge over the Arno River.

Lu Zhiyuan and Nicolas Cage finally had a fateful conversation.

"You summoned me here because you want to copy a painting by which master?"

Lu Zhiyuan leaned on the railing by the bridge, gazing leisurely at the distant clouds, a slight smile playing on his lips as he delivered his lines.

From beginning to end, he was so confident and composed, even a little arrogant.

Since he had already chosen to forge paintings, he was determined to do it to the best of his ability... His confidence stemmed from his extraordinary painting skills.

He knew that his talent would be discovered one day!
And the person standing in front of him, Nicolas Cage, is the one who discovered his talent... who is also his second personality!

In fact, this was a scene he imagined: a thoroughbred horse meeting a discerning eye!
"Crack!"

Lu Zhiyuan was halfway through his performance when he suddenly looked at Nicolas Cage and frowned: "Cage, stop laughing so maniacally. Tone it down a bit. Smile like me, confident and composed. If you can, you'd better touch your collar or cuffs before you speak."

"Maintain a neat and tidy appearance."

"Through these small details, our rhythms will be in unprecedented harmony, as if we have a soul-to-soul resonance."

Lu Zhiyuan's films always pay attention to these small details.

In fact, the various relationships within the characters are clearly hinted at to the audience through these small details.

When watching this movie for the first time, viewers may only pay attention to the plot.

But if you watch it a second time, you'll find that he planted many subtle foreshadowing elements in the movie.

When the audience sees all of this, it's like discovering a treasure; they'll be filled with surprise.

This is what Lu Zhiyuan prepared for DVD viewers!
His films have consistently sold very well on DVD, and the rights to broadcast them on television streaming services have also sold extremely well.

That's because he's a thoughtful person.

Viewers can almost immediately spot the many Easter eggs in his films, so they are very keen to buy DVDs and watch them over and over again.

Watch it with your family and children.

Good movies don't just make money at the box office.

The commercial value generated by the copyrights of these derivative products is definitely more than the box office revenue of the movie!

"Sorry, boss, I'll be more careful."

Nicolas Cage appeared somewhat nervous when facing Lu Zhiyuan.

He has worked with many top actors throughout his life, but everyone knows that they are just acting, so it's not fake.

Each has its own methodology.

But at this moment, Nicolas Cage felt that Lu Zhiyuan was not acting.

This guy is absolutely a crazy criminal!

He even regretted that he should have played the role of Li Wen and let Lu Zhiyuan play the role of the painter!

If that's the case, it might be better.

of course.

This is impossible.

After all, the film was shot in Italy, and as someone of Italian descent, he was more suited to the role of a painter.

……

After the adjustment.

Nicolas Cage has caught up with Lu Zhiyuan's rhythm again.

Faced with Lu Zhiyuan's question, he shook his head and chuckled, while gently tugging at his collar to maintain his elegant demeanor.

Then, he took out his wallet from his pocket, smiled, and pulled out a Franklin.

Nicolas Cage did a good job.

In that instant, Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Zhiyuan looked at each other and smiled, a hint of madness flashing in their eyes.

At that moment, their expressions seemed to mirror each other, revealing a fleeting moment of unspoken understanding.

but……

Lu Zhiyuan couldn't resist patting the car's armrest!
"Light……"

"Shine the light on us!"

"What are you all doing? Do you understand what it feels like to experience a life-changing moment?"

"The cellar-like light of the Caravaggio bridge, piercing through the fates of two people... I wasted my breath just now, wasn't I?"

How many times has this happened?
I just can't learn it no matter what I do!
At this moment, Lu Zhiyuan really wanted to curse!

Before, he was simply a director, able to constantly experiment with the actors to find the lighting and shadow effects he needed... But now, he is one of the leading men!

He had worked so hard to create that atmosphere, but because the technicians couldn't keep up with his pace, they missed the highlight!

That almost made him furious!

In this situation, Lu Zhiyuan didn't even need to lift a finger; Zhuang Wenqiang immediately stepped in and started yelling at the lighting technician, "Are you stupid? How many times has this happened? If you don't want to work, just say so! Don't waste everyone's time!"

For a brief moment, Zhuang Wenqiang almost smelled the aroma of art.

The lighting technician ruined it.

He wished he could personally take the stage and provide the lighting for Lu Zhiyuan!

"Brother Yuan, Brother Qiang, please give me another chance. I didn't sleep well last night. I promise it won't happen again."

The lighting technician also knew it was his own fault.

He also had his own unspeakable suffering.

Last night, someone from next door brought two foreign girls back in the middle of the night, and they stayed out until two or three in the morning.

His lack of sleep affected his mental state, which naturally led to poor energy levels.

Lu Zhiyuan's film crew has very high standards for lighting technicians. Even the slightest mistake will be noticed by Lu Zhiyuan.

There's absolutely no way to slack off!

"This is the last time. If you make another mistake, you can take your wages and leave!"

Zhuang Wenqiang gave a few warnings and continued filming.

After that, things went much more smoothly.

……

"I need you to copy this US dollar bill."

Nicolas Cage spoke calmly, a smile in his eyes.

Unlike the original Aaron Kwok, who was furious and hysterical, Lu Zhiyuan laughed mockingly as if he had heard some huge joke.

Nicolas Cage laughed along.

After laughing for a while, Lu Zhiyuan's eyes turned slightly cold: "Are you serious?"

"of course."

Nicolas Cage put away the dollar bill, gently rubbed his chin with his fingertips, and looked at Lu Zhiyuan with a leisurely gaze.

He took a pack of cigarettes from the glove box, handed it to Lu Zhiyuan, and asked, "Want to have a cigarette? Want to think about it?"

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at it indifferently and said bluntly, "Be more sincere when you invite people."

"Feel sorry."

Nicolas Cage took the pack of cigarettes back, then took out a box of fine Cuban cigars from the trunk, trimmed them for Lu Zhiyuan, and handed them to him.

"That's the attitude of someone who invites others."

Lu Zhiyuan looked at the scenery by the river and tried to smoke a cigar like an old smoker, trying to appear very calm, but his fingers were trembling slightly.

Nicolas Cage stood behind him, hands on his hips.

The composition of the entire shot places Lu Zhiyuan in the very center, while Nicolas Cage is positioned at the right four-fifths of the way across the frame.

On the left, there are large buildings that fail to capture the viewer's attention.

On the contrary, the right side where Nicolas Cage is located is an open field of scenery, which makes it easier to focus the viewer's attention.

In this shot at this moment... although Lu Zhiyuan is in the center and occupies the main perspective, the composition and perspective convey that the two are actually evenly matched.

……

Next, Nicolas Cage went on to say that he only did wholesale, that his family had been making counterfeit money for three generations and had never been caught, and promised Lu Zhiyuan that he would only be responsible for manufacturing and that he would guarantee his safety.

These lines are all exquisite, and Lu Zhiyuan's version has not been altered.

"Master, I await your reply."

In this version, Nicolas Cage's character, the painter, doesn't treat Li Wen casually like a lowly henchman, but rather with great respect.

After all, this is a projection of Li Wen's own personality.

How can we not respect ourselves?

Besides, Lu Zhiyuan is a famous movie director. Even if Nicolas Cage treated Lu Zhiyuan like a small fry, he couldn't act it out!

……

Nicolas Cage drove away.

The camera followed the car, slowly panning to the rooftop of an old building in the distance.

There is a sculpture of a holy angel on the roof, which is now bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.

This shot is very beautiful.

What do the high and mighty angels represent? They represent the divine authority looking down upon mortals! And in this era, the US dollar is the greatest form of divine authority!

Nicolas Cage drove off in the direction of the Holy Angels.

Lu Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, then stubbed out the cigar in his hand and walked down the same road.

Holy angels are calling them!

……

"Crack!"

"Perfect!"

Every shot Lu Zhiyuan filmed, every scene he chose, was completely different from Zhuang Wenqiang's vision of "Project Gutenberg".

However, he had to admit that Lu Zhiyuan's choice of location and lighting was absolutely brilliant!
With the same script, he can make even a 10/10 film out of 100.

If you use Lu Zhiyuan's techniques and location selection, you can at least get a 95-point result!

……

the following few days.

The film crew needed to shoot, and Lu Zhiyuan and other characters were busy with their respective duties inside the counterfeit money factory.

Several minor characters will appear in this game.

Since this is a film aimed at a global audience, Lu Zhiyuan used his connections to find several well-known European actors to make cameo appearances.

Lu Zhiyuan himself has won the Palme d'Or and is also the director of Hollywood blockbusters... It would be very easy for him to find a few celebrities to make cameo appearances.

Many people want to get in touch with him, but they can't find a way!
After all, many roles can only be obtained by joining Lu Zhiyuan's circle of friends.

For example, Tom Hiddleston is a prime example.

Because he filmed "Upgrade" with Lu Zhiyuan, Lu Zhiyuan later had Tom Hiddleston introduce him to many British actors when Lu Zhiyuan was filming the "Real Steel" trilogy.

Those British actors all gained immense fame after appearing in Lu Zhiyuan's films.

Tom Hiddleston himself was even invited by Lu Zhiyuan to star in the Godzilla series!
If others want to receive similar treatment as Tom Hiddleston, they'll first have to get into Lu Zhiyuan's circle of friends.

Playing a few minor roles is just a way of showing my loyalty.

……

Aside from the actors.

After Lu Zhiyuan led his group through the winding cypress-lined paths of Tuscany, they arrived at a seaside castle.

The entire crew was shouting with excitement!

"Wow!"

Are we going to film here for half a month?

"This place is absolutely gorgeous!"

This is a popular castle in Cinque Terre, Italy.

Cream-colored walls and red-tiled roofs are embedded in the cliff. When the sun sets and the evening glow appears, the whole scene is simply dreamlike.

This visual charm, when displayed on an IMAX screen, is an absolutely unparalleled enjoyment for the audience.

Although it is a crime film, it is also an elegant art film.

The word "elegance" must be present throughout.

This is Lu Zhiyuan's perseverance as an art student!
"Inspector Zhuang, I specifically asked around, and the light and shadow an hour before sunset will be absolutely stunning."

"Let's take a break today and film the indoor scenes first."

"If the weather is good, we'll shoot a few outdoor scenes tomorrow afternoon."

Cinque Terre is a popular tourist attraction. Although the concept of a "popular tourist attraction" doesn't exist in this day and age, this area is a tourist scenic spot, so naturally there are hotels to accommodate tourists.

"Honey, I want to get married here!"

After Lu Zhiyuan finished explaining his work to Zhuang Wenqiang, he was pulled away by Reba.

This castle also has another name, "Love Road Castle," because the road they came from is called the Love Road.

This place is absolutely gorgeous.

Moreover, Reba just took a walk around the castle and found many love locks on the viewing platform.

"Didn't you like that church in Bulgaria?"

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and asked a question in return.

"what?"

Reba was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red.

When she was 17, she went to Bulgaria with Lu Zhiyuan to scout locations and secretly took a photo with Lu Zhiyuan's back.

Then, she posted the photo on Tianya Forum, with the post titled "My Honeymoon in Bulgaria".

I thought it was done very discreetly.

Who knew that in the end, it couldn't be kept secret and Lu Zhiyuan found out!
"Honey, you're making fun of me."

Dilraba blushed and became extremely embarrassed.

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, then said seriously, "Actually, I also think that church is very suitable for marriage."

The evening breeze blows against the setting sun.

In the distance, a giant kite floated in the sky, and the sounds of children playing could be heard beneath it.

Dilraba took Lu Zhiyuan's arm and slowly leaned her head against him.

Lu Zhiyuan felt a chill in the evening breeze, turned around to look at Reba, and then zipped up her coat.

Reba felt Lu Zhiyuan's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and immediately chuckled.

"Honey, could I have a cameo role in this movie?"

After a while, Reba made a small request.

"Honey, I feel like it's a bit odd that the counterfeit money ring is all male. There should be a female person in charge of accounting, logistics, and so on."

"I, Alita, the battle angel, am very good at this kind of work."

"Moreover, when the counterfeit money group is fighting amongst themselves, I will definitely stand firmly on your side and turn my gun on everyone else who threatens you."

Especially targeting Gao Yuanyuan!

Dilraba felt like she wanted to just take a machine gun and mow Gao Yuanyuan down.

"It's fine if you have a cameo role."

"But you need to think this through. The members of the counterfeit money ring will eventually die at the hands of me and Wu Xiuqing."

“If you point a gun at Wu Xiuqing, I might stab you in the back. After all, you’re just a cameo, while Wu Xiuqing is the second female lead.”

In the original film, there was indeed a female character played by Yu Nan.

But Lu Zhiyuan felt it was unnecessary.

Why would a criminal gang of men need female characters?
But if Dilraba makes a cameo appearance... As the first leading lady in film history, and with the Real Steel series being incredibly popular, even a small cameo role for Dilraba would definitely bring huge attention to the film.

"Honey, I wouldn't mind if you stabbed me in the movie."

Dilraba looked at Lu Zhiyuan with a smile.

If they stab me in a movie, I'll just take it as a joke.

Don't you dare stab me in real life! Otherwise, I'll definitely shoot Gao Yuanyuan dead first! I absolutely won't give you the chance to stab me. Most importantly, the whole world knows that Lu Zhiyuan and she are a couple.

If Lu Zhiyuan dared to stab her in the movie, it would make her fans wonder if the director was hinting at something.
Oops.

The director of this film is also Lu Zhiyuan!
This makes it even more suspicious.

Even under pressure from public opinion, Lu Zhiyuan would definitely not mess around with Gao Yuanyuan.

"You're such a clever little devil."

Lu Zhiyuan quickly figured out Reba's little scheme. He rubbed Reba's cheek and said, "Alright, third female lead, you'll have a cameo role!"

Given Dilraba's current status, she definitely wouldn't bother taking on a role unless she was the lead actress.

But Lu Zhiyuan's movies are essentially his own business... No matter how small the role, Dilraba doesn't care, and her fans won't say anything.

……

Filmed the following day.

Dilraba changed her outfit and tied her hair up, making her look incredibly capable and exuding a fierce aura.

They look perfectly suited to be the pair of thieves, together with Lu Zhiyuan.

“Brother Yuan, I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime.”

Zhuang Wenqiang never expected that one night later, the company's boss's wife, the first leading lady in film history, would become the third female lead in the movie "Project Gutenberg".

It must have been Lu Zhiyuan who slept with Dilraba overnight, making her so infatuated that she lowered herself to make a cameo appearance.

Nicolas Cage, renowned director Lu Zhiyuan, Dilraba Dilmurat (the first leading lady in film history), and Jean Reno (a French national treasure).

There are also cameo appearances by many European and American movie stars.

Zhuang Wenqiang couldn't even imagine... what kind of box office results this movie would achieve after its release?
If this were made in China, such a powerful cast would almost be considered a tribute film!
wrong.

This film is also a tribute to Hollywood!

Dedicated to the great director Lu Zhiyuan!

Congratulations to "Real Steel 3" for achieving the third highest box office in film history, allowing director Lu Zhiyuan's talent to be fully displayed, and for not being overlooked and embarking on the criminal path of a counterfeit money group!
……

Inside a counterfeit money factory.

The Caravaggio-style cellar lighting is becoming increasingly suitable.

Lu Zhiyuan specifically chose Caravaggio's lighting style because he was thinking of the scene where Li Wen was drawing US dollar bills in the factory.

It really has a great atmosphere.

"So beautiful!"

"It's simply art!"

The most beloved scene in the counterfeit money factory is when the male protagonist, Li Wen, finally abandons his romantic relationships and starts to seriously focus on his business.

Even a criminal career is still a career.

Men become very attractive when they are focused on their careers.

Especially for Li Wen, played by Lu Zhiyuan, there was absolutely no need for misaligned shots... Several cameras at different angles were used to continuously zoom in on his hands and drawing board.

This is how he tells moviegoers that this guy can make counterfeit money look more real than real money!
The brushstrokes are so delicate.

It's practically like a photocopier!
……

Most of the scenes inside the counterfeit money factory focus on the protagonist, Lu Zhiyuan.

Without any scenes with his co-star, Lu Zhiyuan was able to film very smoothly.

Because the lighting technician no longer needs to worry about it; the light only needs to follow Lu Zhiyuan, and there's no need to keep changing it.

……

unconsciously.

Filming for this movie has been going on for a month now.

Most of the scenes have been completed.

Only two major events remain.

One scene was a sex scene in a hotel.

This scene is entirely designed to showcase the charm of the female lead, Gao Yuanyuan.

Another scene requires a trip to Colombia for a spectacular explosion.

Both of these scenes are climactic.

One is the climax of the dialogue scene, and the other is the climax of the fight scene!

Lu Zhiyuan was filmed last.

……

"Clear the area! Everyone, get out!"

Zhuang Wenqiang knew that Lu Zhiyuan had never filmed a kissing scene before, so he would definitely feel very awkward.

Moreover, Lu Zhiyuan's girlfriend, Dilraba, is still on set.

At this moment, although the crew members didn't say anything, they were all gossiping excitedly.

As a responsible subordinate, Zhuang Wenqiang had to share Lu Zhiyuan's burdens and absolutely could not let the crew members get involved in Lu Zhiyuan's scandals.

At that moment, he angrily drove everyone out.

Only the photographer and lighting technician remained.

These two cannot be driven away.

If we get rid of both of them, there will be no one to do the work.

"I know you two. You've been working with Brother Yuan for three or four years now. You should know the rules, right?"

When Xin Yukun saw the two old men, their eyes gleaming with excitement, he couldn't help but go up and give them a heads-up.

"Brother Kun, we understand. We'll absolutely keep it a secret!"

Both of them are long-time employees. They started working with Lu Zhiyuan during Jing Tian's time and have earned a lot of money. They cherish this job very much.

"It's good to have long-term employees. Brother Yuan said that if Yuankun Media goes public in the future, employees with more than 5 years of service will be allocated some original shares."

Xin Yukun didn't say anything threatening; he simply threw out the pancake.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately became excited: "Brother Yuan, do you really say that?"

Lu Zhiyuan always keeps his word.

He said he would definitely provide original shares to long-term employees.

Lu Zhiyuan isn't short of money.

He was a very pure person with only one goal: to become the greatest of all time. To achieve this goal, he was willing to give up many benefits and win over everyone.

"Brother Kun, don't worry."

"Even if Brother Yuan raped Gao Yuanyuan in front of both of us... even if the police came to us afterwards, we would say that Gao Yuanyuan was the one who initiated it!"

Your uncle's!

You two are truly talented!

However, that's how it has to be said!

Of course, the truth is that Gao Yuanyuan wished she could force herself on Lu Zhiyuan, but she was afraid that Lu Zhiyuan would disagree.

……

the other side.

Gao Yuanyuan is giving Lu Zhiyuan a final pre-battle pep talk.

"Zhiyuan, you personally did my makeup. It should be the type you like, right?"

Gao Yuanyuan's makeup today was a departure from her usual quiet and elegant style.

To fit the role in the movie, she specially wore a high-necked wool coat with a British style.

The black coat, the fiery red lips, and her snow-white skin created a cool and edgy sex appeal and a striking contrast.

Such an outfit, once it appears on the screen, will definitely attract the attention of all viewers instantly!
In fact, although there are some differences in aesthetics between the East and the West, their aesthetic preferences for the opposite sex are almost the same.

Foreigners like women with S-shaped figures, big breasts, long legs, and perky butts. Don't Chinese men like that too?
Cuteness is worthless in front of sexiness!
And don't Chinese men like Scarlett Johansson's looks and figure?
same.

The goddess in the hearts of Chinese men is just as popular in Europe and America.

However, audiences in Europe and America never had the chance to see real Chinese beauties on screen.

The information they acquire has already been stored in information cocoons.

What kind of rotten fish are the Chinese women portrayed in Hollywood movies?
It looks like a pig's head!
Either they're too old to watch.

However, Hollywood is, after all, the domain of Europeans and Americans, and they are unlikely to give beautiful Chinese actresses many opportunities.

Of course, this is mainly because there are very few great Chinese directors. And there are even fewer great directors who excel at portrait photography.

Why is Zhang Ziyi called "International Zhang"?
It was the role of Yu Jiaolong in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that made her very famous internationally.

Many authoritative European and American magazines have commented on Zhang Ziyi's appearance in this way.

—Variety: Her unique temperament is reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn.

—Venice Film Festival: Her beauty is too arrogant.

There was a random street interview in Europe and America, asking foreigners about their impressions of Zhang Ziyi.

Lu Zhiyuan remembers clearly that most foreigners, when mentioning Zhang Ziyi, said that she had "skin as fair and smooth as jade".

Clearly, not all foreigners like freckled faces.

Most normal foreigners, like Chinese men, prefer women with fair and smooth skin.

Lu Zhiyuan couldn't understand who was promoting the idea that foreigners liked freckled faces.

If foreigners really like freckled faces, then who buys concealer from Europe and America?

The truth is, someone here is definitely lying!
"Gao Yuanyuan, I will take you to the world and let the whole world know that China has such a gentle and elegant beauty as you."

Lu Zhiyuan was very certain that after the release of "Project Gutenberg," Gao Yuanyuan would become a sensation worldwide.

She'll be even more popular than Zhang Ziyi!
No other reason.

The biggest reason is that he is better at taking portraits than Li An!

In addition, Gao Yuanyuan's temperament is more feminine and more in line with the charm of Eastern aesthetics than Zhang Ziyi's.

Zhang Ziyi is more like a proud and arrogant girl who ran away from home.

"Zhiyuan, your words are unusually sweet today."

Lu Zhiyuan rarely said anything good about himself before, but today he seemed to have changed his tune, which surprised Gao Yuanyuan.

"Gao Yuanyuan, wait a minute, I'll hug you from behind, give you a light kiss on the neck, and then kiss your cheek, about three times."

Finally, I will turn your head and make eye contact with you.

"At this moment, I will not move, you will stand on tiptoe and kiss me, in a very impatient way."

"Then, we'll have a long kiss."

"If you can cry, then it will be a perfect shot!"

A long kiss amidst tears, Wu Xiuqing's feelings for Li Wen will be incredibly complex!
Without any words, allowing the audience to savor this moment and the emotional fluctuations between the two will surely leave a deep impression.

"Gao Yuanyuan, do you understand? Remember to cry later."

Lu Zhiyuan felt he had made himself clear.

Given Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills over the past month, she should be able to do it with ease.

If all else fails, eat a bite of wasabi before taking the picture.

She's definitely going to cry.

"Yes, don't worry, I can do it."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded seriously, indicating that Zhuang Wenqiang could start work.

……

The camera is turned on.

Everyone is in their place.

Lu Zhiyuan, with his hands in his pockets, slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window. The light shone on his profile, making his face appear as a play of light and shadow.

After a while, Gao Yuanyuan walked over in high heels.

She had a coat draped casually over her shoulders, which stretched her thin body up like a piece of armor with very little protection, easily punctured.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

Lu Zhiyuan began to speak his lines.

Do you think I can refuse you?

After Gao Yuanyuan finished saying this line, she seemed to feel a little cold and hugged herself slightly.

The camera focused on Lu Zhiyuan in close-up.

A subtle change finally appeared on his otherwise indifferent face as he turned to look at Gao Yuanyuan.

Two seconds later, he walked towards Gao Yuanyuan, stood behind her, slowly bent down, rested his chin on her shoulder, and put his arms around her waist.

Their bodies slowly drew closer at that moment.

"Hmm~"

Gao Yuanyuan closed her eyes slightly, revealing a look of ecstasy, which made Lu Zhiyuan pause for a moment.

He immediately shouted, "Stop!"

"Gao Yuanyuan, what are you doing? Why aren't you struggling? You're still angry with me! What are you doing with that expression and those 'mmm' sounds of ecstasy?"

Faced with Lu Zhiyuan's persistent questioning, Gao Yuanyuan realized her mistake and quickly put on a wronged expression: "Sorry, I was a little nervous just now and didn't notice."

Since Gao Yuanyuan had already apologized, Lu Zhiyuan didn't say anything more and gestured towards Zhuang Wenqiang: "Let's do it again."

The next time, Gao Yuanyuan began to struggle, but she was very weak, as if she were trying to lure Lu Zhiyuan.

She grabbed Lu Zhiyuan's hand and, instead of pushing him away, pulled him closer to her!
what's the situation?
Zhuang Wenqiang couldn't stand it anymore and waved to the others: "Take a 5-minute break. Yuan-ge, you two discuss this first."

Zhuang Wenqiang knew that Gao Yuanyuan was about to finish filming and wanted to leave behind some beautiful memories.

With a bang, the door slammed shut, and the room was empty.

Gao Yuanyuan stopped pretending and laid her cards on the table.

She hooked her arms around Lu Zhiyuan's neck and kissed him fiercely.

"Zhiyuan, I know you like me. The way you look at me is full of a man's admiration for a woman. With your acting skills, you can't hide it at all."

“But you always scold me whenever you see me, just to push me away and not give you a chance to make mistakes.”

"No way! I just love you."

Before Gao Yuanyuan could finish speaking, Lu Zhiyuan grabbed her and hugged her tightly, making it impossible for her to break free.

Gao Yuanyuan was overjoyed and couldn't resist the urge to take off Lu Zhiyuan's clothes.

Five minutes is fine too.

At worst, I'll just lock the door later. I'm sure Zhuang Wenqiang and Brother Kun will understand.

"Don't move."

But at this moment, Lu Zhiyuan held Gao Yuanyuan in his arms, not letting her move at all.

After a while, Gao Yuanyuan indeed stopped moving and buried her head in Lu Zhiyuan's arms, as if she knew something.

Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Because she knew that Lu Zhiyuan had rejected her once again.

Gao Yuanyuan buried her head in Lu Zhiyuan's chest, deeply inhaling his scent, her voice choked with sobs: "Zhiyuan, I don't want you to marry me. Can't you just love me once? Just once."

Lu Zhiyuan didn't release Gao Yuanyuan, and said in a cold tone, "Just consider me someone who loved you. Is that not enough? Why is it so hard for me to live a life with a clear conscience? You keep tempting me to commit crimes, trying to create a flaw in my conscience."

"If you keep trying to seduce me like this, I'll cut all ties with you forever. I'm transferring my shares in Yuangao Technology directly to that military enterprise in the Northwest."

Upon hearing that Lu Zhiyuan wanted to sever all ties with her, Gao Yuanyuan panicked and hurriedly apologized, "Zhiyuan, I was wrong. I won't seduce you anymore. Let's continue to be friends, okay?"

"You said it yourself. Remember to keep your word."

Lu Zhiyuan slowly released his arms, restoring Gao Yuanyuan's freedom.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't take any further action. She looked up at Lu Zhiyuan and asked with a smile, "What do my lips taste like?"

White peach flavor.

Lu Zhiyuan answered in his heart, but on the surface, he extended a finger to warn Gao Yuanyuan.

Don't ask random questions.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't care at all. She wiped away her tears and smiled through them, "I know you'll remember. You've always had a good memory. You'll never forget me in this lifetime."

……

Wipe away your tears and return to your place.

Gao Yuanyuan pretended that nothing had happened.

After a while, Zhuang Wenqiang knocked on the door and came back in, seeing the two standing clearly in their respective places.

He looked around in confusion for a long time, but found no signs of a battle.

Five minutes seems too short. If they had half an hour, they'd probably start a war, right?

"Inspector Zhuang, call the men in and let's get to work."

Lu Zhiyuan calmly gave an order.

The rest of the filming went incredibly smoothly.

Gao Yuanyuan delivered a stellar performance, kissing the man while keeping her eyes closed, tears streaming down her face like beads.

That feeling of heartbreak, a mix of pain and love, is absolutely heartbreaking!
She wasn't acting; she was genuinely heartbroken.

……

"A memorable scene!"

"This movie is bound to be a hit!"

"What exactly did Brother Yuan say to Gao Yuanyuan...? It's like she's unlocked her full potential, instantly becoming a top-tier expert!"

"When she cries, it's so infectious!"
