"Cut!" Anderson shouted out from his seat and rubbed his forehead in frustration.
It was the eleventh ti he had done so today, and that too for the sa scene.
Hearing Anderson's words Jin removed his arms from around Fana's waist and looked at Anderson apologetically.
"I'm sorry…" Jin replied while scratching the back of his head awkwardly.
Hearing this Anderson could only sigh.
"We'll do other scenes first before diving into this one, I hope you'll be able to get a hang of it by the end of the day…what intimate scenes need is chemistry and you two seem to be lacking in that regard by a lot…your emotions aren't in synch at all!" Anderson addressed the two of them.
While Fana seed to be doing okay, her performance was still not good enough.
As for Jin, his performance was abhorrent, to the point that even Anderson couldn't believe he was the sa actor who played the lead role in "Smile Please".
'I can only hope that things will improve in the limited ti which we have…' Anderson thought as he shifted to doing other scenes important scenes.
Jin and Fana were sent to the sidelines, where they started discussing their scripts with each other once again, hoping that their performance would improve.
"I'm sorry, it must have been difficult to fake those feelings when the person you're looking at is a 35-year-old woman like ," Fana said with a deprecative chuckle.
"That's not the problem, Fana. You don't look bad for your age. What's to bla is my own acting and inexperience since this is my first ti doing intimate scenes on screen," Jin sighed.
"I'm glad that you think otherwise…hehe," Fana chuckled at Jin's words and continued, "Are you perhaps hesitant because you have a girlfriend? Even after the director has toned down her scenes together?"
Hearing Fana's words Jin nodded.
"Indeed. Every ti I try to imrse myself in the scene a sense of guilt wells up within and that stops from imrsing myself in the it…that's why Mr Anderson kept telling to work on building up chemistry,"
"Hmm, You truly love her deeply, how romantic~," A belittling smirk ford on Fana's face but Jin didn't notice it since he was looking down on his script.
A smile ford on Jin's face when he heard Fana's words as he said, "More than my life,"
The smile on Fana's face widened when she heard Jin's following words.
'You'll be saying the sa thing about not long after,' Fana thought to herself and said, "Anyways, let's just discuss more about our characters so that we can synch ourselves more with each other,"
They continued to practice like this for hours until it was finally ti for them to act.
"Cut!" Anderson once again said in frustration.
Jin and Fana's efforts were of no avail.
Although their performance showed a little improvent but that was still unsatisfactory for Anderson.
'At this rate, I'll have to completely remove these scenes…' Anderson thought with a pained heart.
He finished the shooting for the day since it was already evening. Disappointnt was clear on his face.
During the dinner, Anderson's sullened mood was clear for everyone to see.
"I gave it a thought," Anderson said after a while, "Since we lack ti I'll let the two of you try again tomorrow…but if nothing good cos out of it then we'll be removing this scene,"
He then gazed at Fana and said, "I'm sorry Fana, I know your screen ti is already less but as a director, I would be forced to do this if things go on like this,"
"...I understand," Fana replied in a dull mood.
Jin felt frustrated to see that his incompetence was not just affecting him but also others.
When the dinner ended Jin returned to his room and started going through the sheets of script all over again.
He was determined to perform the scene well tomorrow.
Knock Knock
Around half an hour later he heard his door being knocked.
When he opened his door an a subtle sll entered his nostrils making him breathe a bit deeper.
His eyes then looked at the figure in front of him.
Fana stood there with an apologetic expression on her face.
Her hair was a bit wet, indicating that she had just finished her bath.
"I know it's a little inappropriate to visit you like this at night but I suddenly got a bright idea while I was taking a shower and couldn't help but rush here afterwards," Fana said in an embarrassed manner.
Jin frowned a little and asked with a harsher tone than normal, "You could have just texted rather than coming here like this especially at this ti..you know?"
Noticing that Jin didn't appreciate her being here like this Fana looked down apologetically and explained, "While it may seem a bit over the board I feel that this is necessary if we want things to work out tomorrow…I don't want my screen ti reduced so I hope that you will at least listen to it,"
Hearing her words Jin toned down his words and said, "Alright, co inside,"
"Thank you," Fana showed a grateful smile and followed Jin inside.
"Here, take this," Jin passed a towel to her to wipe her wet hair.
Fana accepted the towel embarassingly and wrapped it around her head. Explore stories on empire
The two then took their seats and Jin asked, "So what's the idea?"
Hearing this Fana soon began with her explanation, "Everything depends on practice and I believe our chemistry will also beco better with practice…but since we lack ti I decided to take it a step further and stimulate things more,"
Fana paused for two seconds and continued.
"This ti we'll not just be practising our dialogues together but also the intimate scenes which we are required to perform tomorrow.
It's also the reason why I ca dressed like this. I wanted to provoke your desires which you've been restraining thinking about your girlfriend all the ti...I believe if I'm like this then it would be more easier for us to develop the chemistry which we're lacking,"
"I don't think it's appropriate to this this kind of thing alone. If things end up escalating I won't be able to see my girlfriend in the face so Fana, you should leave now," Jin felt sothing amiss and rejected her.
"Jin please…this movie is way too important for , and I can't just stay still and do nothing about this situation..." Fana paused as if to prevent her held up emotions form pouring out.
Jin sensed the desperation in her voice. He also knew the reason why.
With her increasing age, if she didn't perform well it would be difficult for her to continue her career as an actress.
Soit could be said thay this movie was more important to her than even him.
The next second Fana continued.
"Wasn't our last take today much better than the first? Isn't that proof that we'll beco much better if we follow this idea?"
Her last sentence, however, seed to have hit the nail on the head and sowhat convinced Jin.
"Alright I'll do it but I hope we won't overdo things and end up straining our friendship alright?" Jin ntioned just as a disclair.
"Thank you! Thank you for agreeing! And ofcourse their would be no problem related to that," Fana said with gratefulness clear on her face.
Seeing her like this even Jin felt a bit guilty for doubting her intentions earlier.
Jin scoffed at himself for thinking too much.
'Even if what I think is true and she's trying to seduce but with Diana, in my heart, I doubt that a woman in like her has the power to sway my mind just from a few intimate touches…'
Jin wasn't wrong to think like that.
Fana's look couldn't even be compared to Anna's whose feelings he had rejected just two days ago.
"Let's begin then," Fana suggested as she explained how they should proceed with the practice to Jin.
