Huayu Entertainment Starts with Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu

"Do you know what I was thinking when you swam over to me that day when I was dragged to the lake by vines and almost drowned?"

"I have countless ways to pull you out of the water alive, why use such a stupid trick?"

"You're from the Yi ethnic group, you wouldn't understand, this is called romance."

"I understand."

Si Teng and Qin Fang watched a show in the yard. Qin Fang made barbecue for Si Teng by hand. The two watched, ate, chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was warm and beautiful.

Qin Fang laughed at her for not understanding human romance, and Si Teng kissed her directly.

This is a real kissing scene.

Wow!

Another incredibly sweet scene that will make any girl's heart flutter; this scene appears at the end of episode 22.

In the original version, the dialogue between the two was introduced by a projector showing Li Muge's other representative work, "East Palace," which of course had not yet appeared at this point.

However, the scene where the male and female leads breathe into each other's mouths underwater is a common occurrence in period dramas; you can find it anywhere.

If you want to kiss, just kiss. Why try to cover it up like this?

As the saying goes, once you start, you'll start again.

After overcoming their psychological barriers to kissing scenes, neither Jiang Yang nor Jing Tian were shy at all this time; frankly, it wasn't a big deal.

I'm used to it; it's no different from any other drama.

After the photo was taken, both of them looked at Li Muge.

Ok?

If that doesn't work, let's kiss again!

Li Muge shook his head; it really wouldn't work.

"I have to say, you two kissed way too... way too calmly, like an old married couple. You kissed like you were numb, without feeling anything at all."

"Can you make my heart flutter a little?"

"Especially you, Jiang Yang, this time it was Si Teng's direct attack, you're finished, you've fallen for him!"

Jiang Yang made an OK sign.

See? The attraction was all an act.

This time, the two added variations in their eye contact. When Si Teng kissed him, Qin Fang was surprised, his eyes widening in surprise.

They looked into each other's eyes, confirming their feelings.

Si Teng closed his eyes first, and then Qin Fang closed his eyes as well.

Both the queen and the male servants must bow down for love.

"Great! Excellent!"

Li Muge changed the camera angles several times, shooting both close-ups and long shots, and then announced that the scene was finished.

This was a night scene, and we wrapped up filming that same day.

The staff were packing up props and equipment to go back to sleep, while Jiang Yang and Li Muge were discussing the filming plan for the next day. Suddenly, the latter poked him and pointed behind him.

Jiang Yang turned around and saw that it was Jing Tian.

They hadn't changed out of their costumes or removed their makeup; they seemed to want to greet someone but weren't quite ready.

"What's up?"

"Yes, I..."

She hesitated, but Li Muge understood immediately.

Am I in the way?

Jiang Yang was basically in charge of communicating with the production crew, so he definitely wasn't here to see Jing Tian.

"Well, I'm off now."

He tactfully took his leave, and Jiang Yang didn't try to stop him, but unexpectedly Jing Tian stopped him.

"Director, please stay too."

"Actually, I have something to discuss with you all, and it just so happens that you're all here."

"About what happens next in the story."

Jiang Yang and Li Muge exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Go ahead and say it."

Since Jing Tian brought this up, she must have been thinking about it for quite some time.

"I want to change the ending of 'Sito'."

"How should it be changed?"

"Why make it a happy ending? I don't understand, everything was fine before."

In the original novel of "Si Teng", the ending is that Qin Fang keeps searching for Si Teng.

In the TV series, the roles are reversed. Qin Fang gives up Bai Ying's power for Si Teng and becomes a vegetable. He also seals Si Teng's memories, allowing her to grow up as a little girl.

More than a decade later, guided by a dream, Si Teng finds Qin Fang again and recalls everything.

In the very end, the two returned to nature together.

They transformed into their original forms: trees and vines.

When Jing Tian received the script, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. There are only two kinds of endings for idol dramas: bad ending and happy ending.

The arrangement in "Touhou Project" may be intended to create a poignant beauty in the face of the incompatibility between humans and demons.

But the more she filmed, the more she felt something was wrong.

Why does it have to be a bad ending?

The story of "Sito" itself is not complicated. Don't be fooled by the fancy elements like aliens or half-demons. To put it bluntly, the setting is just a matter of the creator's word.

It's clearly a plot-driven death!

"I don't like it, it's torture for the sake of torture."

"Filming this scene made me feel very uncomfortable. I was very happy and satisfied throughout the entire filming of 'Si Teng,' but this ending was the only one that bothered me."

"Perhaps I'd prefer to believe a fairytale ending: the princess and the prince lived happily ever after."

Even if it's just a dream, isn't idol drama all about creating dreams?

Jing Tian sounded apologetic.

She also knew that asking to change the ending halfway through filming was a very capricious request.

Filming for "Sito" has been going on for over a month, and the progress bar should be around 60-70%, it looks like it's almost time to wrap up.

Moreover, it wasn't filmed in chronological order.

It's not that the ending is put last. Generally, film crews arrange the shooting order according to the scenes, and some scenes have already been filmed.

It was precisely because Jing Tian had already filmed several scenes that she became increasingly clear about her feelings:

I don't want to film this!

Li Muge was dumbfounded. It wasn't that he insisted on maintaining the current outcome, but why didn't he say so earlier if he wanted to change things...

Should we change it now?

Not to mention the workload of temporarily changing the ending, the cost will definitely increase.

What if we go over budget?

Just thinking about it brings a whole host of troubles; it's giving me a headache.

He couldn't help but look at Jiang Yang. "Look at you. Praising the client too much isn't necessarily a good thing, is it?"

Previously, Jing Tian had not actually made any demands.

That would be a win-win situation; you're happy, I'm happy, you pay, and I do the work.

And then they actually made a request! Were you dumbfounded?

Get her sorted out quickly!

Jing Tian was naturally aware of Li Muge's concerns, and she generously made a promise.

"If I don't have enough money, I..."

"change!"

Before she could even demonstrate her financial power, Jiang Yang had already agreed without hesitation.

Li Muge suddenly turned around.

Seriously, bro? You compromised way too quickly!

Where is your integrity?!

At least try to hold on!

Jiang Yang disregarded his inner thoughts and made a firm promise.

"Change it if you want to."

"I've said it before, this show was made for you. If you're not willing, then it's meaningless. You deserve an ending that you like."

"What Sito wants, Sito gets."

"This is your 'Sito,' you're in charge."

Eh?

Jing Tian was also surprised. She had mustered up a lot of courage to bring this up, and she was very worried about Jiang Yang and Li Muge's opposition.

If none of them support me, I don't know if I can continue to persevere.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yang agreed so readily.

Especially the line "Si Teng wants Si Teng to get it," for a moment, she seemed to have a hallucination that Qin Fang had stepped out of the drama.

Jing Tian was surprised, but was quickly filled with emotion.

It seems like he made this film to fulfill one of my wishes.

A feeling that was both strange and familiar rose from the bottom of my heart...

That's when Si Teng's little white flowers bloomed.
