Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 219 Professional Substitute Gu Yang
"Isn't this bad..."

Before Gu Yang could finish speaking, Zhang Ruonan suddenly grabbed his sleeve and shook it gently: "Mr. Gu... I... I don't want to film kissing scenes with other people."

This rare display of coquetry sent a shiver down Gu Yang's spine.

Zhao Lusi seized the opportunity: "We can focus the camera on the actress's expression and use camera angles to create the illusion."

"During post-production editing, close-ups were interspersed, making it impossible for viewers to tell who the kissing double was."

She rattled off a long, professional speech that left the director speechless.

It's obvious they did their homework...

Finally, she leaned closer to Gu Yang, her citrus perfume faintly scented, "Anyway... Director Gu, you're quite willing to film with me, right?"

? ? ? ? ?

What the hell?
You're kidding me!
Where does this girl get her confidence?

Gu Yang was a little puzzled!
However, seeing Zhang Ruonan's expectant eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

It's just some close-up shots; it won't take much time.

Since it's a work requirement, he, as the boss, might as well make some sacrifices.

At 10 a.m. the next day, in Studio 3 of the Mountain City Film and Television Base, the crew of "Difficult to Coax" was preparing for this special kissing scene.

The crew members, suppressing their laughter, set up a makeshift dressing room. Bai Jingting, wearing the camel-colored trench coat worn by the male lead in the play, squatted next to the monitor, drawing circles with a look of utter despair.

"Mr. Bai, why don't you go wait in the lounge?" the assistant director asked cautiously.

"No need." Bai Jingting gritted his teeth and stared at Zhang Ruonan, who was touching up her makeup. "I want to see with my own eyes how my character is 'portrayed'."

On the other side, the stylist was frantically adjusting Gu Yang's collar: "Mr. Gu, you are taller and stronger than Mr. Bai, so I'm styling your clothes to make you look slimmer."

"Yes, details are very important." Gu Yang glanced at the script. "Although this scene mainly focuses on Wen Yifan's reaction, and I only have a shot of his back, we still need to be careful not to give ourselves away!"

Zhang Ruonan sat in front of the makeup mirror, and the makeup artist touched up her blush for the third time: "Nannan, your face is too red, even the powder can't cover it up."

"It's too hot in the shed..." She looked down and twisted her fingers, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly.

God knows how fast her heart was beating right now!
Having been with Gu Yang for over a year, this was the first time they could kiss openly and honestly in front of everyone.

This was something she had been looking forward to for a long time!

"Scene 38, Shot 7, Action!"

As the clapperboard sounded, Gu Yang, following the script, pinned Zhang Ruonan against the French windows.

This famous scene, known as the "glass kiss" in the original work, was supposed to be performed by Xiaobai.

When his palm touched her lower back, he could clearly feel the person in his arms trembling slightly.

Gu Yang gestured to Nan Nan with his eyes to calm her down.

Anyway, the two of them have kissed countless times at home, so he felt that filming this shouldn't be difficult.

He lowered his head and kissed Zhang Ruonan as required by the script.

According to the plot requirements, this kiss must carry a long-suppressed aggressiveness.

"Cut! Too gentle!" Li Qingrong frowned. "Wen Yifan should be struggling right now, Nan Nan, your smile is too sweet!"

Zhang Ruonan buried her face in Gu Yang's shoulder, her ear tips so red they looked like they could bleed.

She couldn't control herself!

The familiar scent of cedar on Gu Yang, and his habitual gesture of protecting the back of her head, reminded her of countless private mornings.

This is the man she loves deeply, how could she not smile?
"Director," Bai Jingting suddenly raised his hand, "I feel this emotion is off. In the original story, the male lead should be..."

"Xiao Bai," Li Qingrong patted his shoulder, "why don't you go help the stagehands move the equipment?"

Bai Jingting: "..."

By the thirteenth take, the crew was already used to it.

Zhao Lusi had somehow slipped into the film set and was watching with gritted teeth, holding a thermos.

That shameless woman Zhang Ruonan is utterly shameless!

Gu Yang only agreed to be her kissing double because of her, but Zhang Ruonan ended up getting the benefit first!

Look at this woman, laughing like she's so worthless!
They even deliberately messed up the play, it's absolutely outrageous!
Gu Yang has really sacrificed too much for her this time!
It's all her fault... sigh!

……

After more than half an hour of continuous filming, they finally got the version that satisfied the director.

The footage on the monitor silenced the entire room!

In the backlight, Zhang Ruonan's fingers, pressed against the glass, curled slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.

When she unconsciously bit Gu Yang's lower lip, her innocent yet passionate reaction perfectly replicated the description in the original work.

"Perfect!" Li Qingrong exclaimed excitedly, slamming down her script. "This is the sexual tension I've been looking for!"

Bai Jingting, who had just finished moving the stuff and rushed back, drifted over and said casually, "Director, that's not what you said when I was acting..."

Li Qingrong: "Get out of my way..."

"Scene 39, Shot 2, the coffee shop kiss! Action!"

When Gu Yang pressed Zhang Ruonan down into the booth and kissed her, the script supervisor almost dropped her clapperboard: "This isn't acting, this is just like a couple's everyday life!"

"Scene 42, 5 shots, a kiss in the rain!"

When Gu Yang loosened his tie and pinned Zhang Ruonan against the wall, the lighting technician's hands were trembling: "Director, should the rain get heavier? If it gets any heavier, their clothes will be soaked through!" "Scene 45, final shot, sofa kiss!"

Bai Jingting sat in front of the monitor with his knees drawn up, watching helplessly as his character was completely replaced: "The original novel clearly said 'a light kiss on the corner of the lips,' but President Gu is practically kissing my collarbone!"

The production assistant counted the call sheets: "Kitchen kiss, balcony kiss, elevator kiss... Goodness, why did the director add so many kissing scenes all of a sudden? Mr. Gu probably doesn't know, does he?"

The makeup artist chuckled as she touched up Nan Nan's lipstick: "Nan Nan has had her lipstick touched up eight times already. President Gu's lips are covered in the same shade."

"What do you know!" Director Li Qingrong happened to pass by. "That's what you call sexual tension! Audiences love to see that kind of drawn-out look in their eyes!"

"Besides, you don't understand. Only when President Gu is around can Zhang Ruonan get a perfect reaction. Wouldn't it be a waste not to add more kissing scenes?"

"It's a pity that President Gu is more muscular than Xiao Bai, otherwise I would have liked to add a few more sex scenes!"

During halftime, two female stagehands were whispering behind the equipment:

"See? Mr. Gu always helps Sister Nan Nan with her hair after kissing her!"

"More than that! When he was kissing Nan Nan on the sofa just now, his hand was protecting Nan Nan's lower back the whole time!"

"Wow, so sweet! It's so good, I love watching it!"

By 2 p.m., when the last scene of the "morning kiss" was filmed, the entire crew was all smiles.

The script supervisor's notebook was filled with notes on kissing scenes:
The coffee shop kiss scene: 4 takes (Zhang Ruonan laughed 3 times).
Kiss in the rain: NG 1 time (President Gu thought the rain was too light)
Sofa kiss: One take (but the director shot 5 extra takes as backup).
Morning kiss: President Gu added an impromptu scene, kissing the baby in bed for a few more minutes.

……

The dressing room on the set of "Hidden"
Zhao Lusi stood in front of the makeup mirror, having already brushed her teeth for the third time. The minty mouthwash swirled around in her mouth several times before she spat it out and breathed into the mirror to make sure there was no unpleasant smell.

"Sister Ruth, isn't this a bit too much?" The assistant stood beside her, holding the clothes, and couldn't help but complain.

"You're an old hand at this, aren't you? In your last drama, 'The Romance of Tiger and Rose,' you and Ding Yuxi were quite intimate, weren't you?"

Why are you so nervous now?

"What do you know!" Zhao Lusi glared at her. "This is Gu Yang! I worked so hard to get this opportunity, of course I have to make sure it's foolproof!"

She looked down at her chest, and suddenly an idea struck her. She turned to her assistant and said, "Go, get my push-up bra!"

The assistant was taken aback: "Huh?"

"What 'ah'!" Zhao Lusi lowered her voice, looking exasperated. "When we film the kissing scene later, if President Gu hugs me, his first reaction will definitely be..."

She puffed out her chest and said smugly, "I need to let him know that those flat-chested girls at Galaxy Media are not even in the same league as me!"

"President Gu is so pitiful, I have to make sure she gets something good to eat..."

The assistant's lips twitched: "But... isn't Tian Xiwei also at the company? She seems... a little older than you?"

Zhao Lusi's face darkened: "She's not from Xinghe Media! Besides..."

She scoffed, "That was definitely padded!"

assistant:"……"

"Oh, right!" Zhao Lusi suddenly remembered something, her eyes lighting up. "Bring me my bottom pad too!"

The assistant was completely dumbfounded: "No... Sister Ruth, this scene is a frontal kiss scene, the camera won't be showing her butt..."

Zhao Lusi rolled her eyes: "What do you know? No matter how powerful President Gu is, he's still a young man. If he kisses me, he'll definitely get excited! What if his hand..."

She made a grasping motion, "When I touch him, shouldn't I give him a perfect tactile experience?"

assistant:"……"

She silently took out her phone and wrote down in her notes: Today's outrageous request: pad my chest and butt before the kissing scene, in case the boss gets disappointed after touching them.

Zhao Lusi was still turning around in front of the mirror, checking her makeup and figure, muttering to herself, "President Gu likes a pure look, but it can't be too plain... Is the lip color too light? Should I make it a little redder?"

The assistant sighed, "Ruth, if you keep going like this, the director will start yelling at you..."

……

The crew of "Hidden"

"Scene 25, Shot 3, Action!"

As soon as the clapperboard sounded, Zhao Lu, who played Sang Zhi, was pinned against the classroom wall by Gu Yang, who was actually Duan Jiaxu's stand-in.

According to the script, this should have been an innocent first kiss, but Zhao Lusi's performance clearly exceeded the director's expectations.

She grabbed Gu Yang's clothes, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him. The speed of her action made all the staff gasp.

"Uh!" Gu Yang was a little confused and subconsciously wanted to back away, but Zhao Lusi grabbed his tie tightly.

When the two were arguing, she even secretly stepped on Gu Yang's foot with the tip of her high heel.

"Hmm!" Gu Yang groaned.

Zhao Lusi has gotten what she wanted!
"Cut"

"That's enough, Ruth, you can let go of President Gu now!"

Zhao Lusi wiped her mouth with the back of her hand without changing her expression, but her eyes were frighteningly bright: "Director, how about we do another take? I think the emotions could be even more intense~"

Gu Yang: "."

He bent down to straighten his crooked tie and suddenly realized something was wrong.

When did this girl get such a great figure?
Even though she was wearing a school uniform, the buttons on her chest were taut, and the other parts that my hand accidentally touched earlier were also...!
It seems I underestimated her before!
Filming continued, and by the end, Gu Yang was so overwhelmed by Zhao Lusi's kisses that he began to question his existence.

Even director Lee Chung-yong was stunned!
No wonder she's called Zhao Lusi; when it comes to kissing and creating saliva, she's terrifyingly good at it!
This name itself is very meaningful...
