60: Chapter 61: Substitute (6) 60: Chapter 61: Substitute (6) At 1:30 p.m., the scene was reshot.
Jiang Xuanqi was still roaring in anger below, while Yu Zexiao kept observing coldly from above.
However, this time, Director Li didn’t casually shout “Cut” like before.
Not until the scene was completely acted out did he nod in satisfaction, “Very good.”
Jiang Xuanqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She relaxed from the heroine’s intense scenario and still looked at Yu Zexiao affectionately, “Zexiao, thank you for your hard work.”
Yu Zexiao curled the corners of his mouth but said nothing.
Jiang Xuanqi probably still thought that Zexiao was tense all morning because, first, he was reluctant to quarrels with her, and second, he was nervous about the kissing scene!
All of Yu Zexiao’s intimate scenes were shot with a stand-in, which left Jiang Xuanqi feeling regretful.
However, she also understood the company’s position.
Yu Zexiao had always presented the image of a perfect Prince to the public.
Even though the company intended to publicize rumors about the two of them this time, they dared not go too far at once.
A bit of scandal was acceptable, but too much intimacy might provoke a backlash from fans, resulting in consequences that might be hard to manage.
It was at that moment that Jian Anning, on the side, said in a somewhat low voice, “Is this okay for me?”
Everyone turned to look, and there was Jian Anning, dressed in the same clothes as Jiang Xuanqi and with a similar hairstyle, turned into a nest of chickens — the scene being enacted was the heroine, after enduring enough mockery, coming to the annual school meeting to sabotage the male lead.
But surprisingly, dressed and from the back, she bore a seven-to-eight resemblance to Jiang Xuanqi.
Maybe if she acted out this scene, Yu Zexiao could get into character more quickly?
At least, Director Li had just seen Yu Zexiao and her arguing fiercely, with Jian Anning getting so angered by Yu Zexiao that she stamped her feet, which was almost a carbon copy of the scene in the drama!
After all, they would have to use a stand-in anyway, so why not just use a stand-in outright?
Film Yu Zexiao and Jiang Xuanqi separately and then edit them together later.
Indeed, seeing Jian Anning , the emotions that had been frozen in Yu Zexiao unfroze in an instant.
He was almost gloating as he walked around her, nodding his head at the end, “That outfit really suits you.”
Jian Anning glared at him.
If it weren’t for the director’s promise, and the assurance she wouldn’t show her face, and the double’s salary, she wouldn’t have taken this role!
The reshoot happened quickly, and with Jian Anning as his partner, Yu Zexiao was in top form!
Especially during the argument scene, it seemed ingrained in his bones, as he effortlessly conveyed pride, surprise, and a touch of bewilderment.
After a successful one-take shot, it was time for the kissing scene.
Jiang Xuanqi’s part had been filmed earlier, and now it was Yu Zexiao’s turn.
Director Li was worried; neither Yu Zexiao nor Jian Anning had any experience.
Although the acting atmosphere was potent, a kissing scene, and a stand-in one at that, was bound to be somewhat awkward.
“You don’t have to worry later, just stand there and don’t move,” the director, fearing her concerns, advised her specially, “Since it’s a stand-in, you won’t really be kissed in the end.
Just do what you did before.”
But evidently, Jian Anning was worried about something else: “Later, my face won’t be captured, right?”
