879: Chapter 876: Breathtaking Moves!
Tears of a beauty!
Tears flowing down both cheeks!
This depth of emotion was filled with reluctance and yearning.
Bai Fengling expressed the reluctance to separate, the affection for her husband, and the pain of a life-and-death farewell—
in one deep sigh and two rows of hot tears.
Without much words or actions, it was enough to convey deep emotions, setting the stage for a heartbreaking farewell.
At that mont,
all the directors and screenwriters were stunned.
Even though Bai Fengling was a ‘veteran actress,’ they had never seen such deep emotional investnt in a romance scene.
Her deanor, her expressions, the depth of her sigh, those two rows of tears—
was it her exquisite acting or genuine feelings…
It was really hard to tell.
However, what was exciting was that the artistic effect was truly superb.
And this scene, from the start of filming until now, had been very smooth.
Wu Jie, acting for the first ti, was like a veteran actor, portraying the Commander assigned to set out for battle superbly.
On one side was the mission to combat the enemy; on the other side were his close family mbers.
He captured the conflict and helplessness perfectly.
Since ancient tis, soldiers have faced the dilemma of ‘loyalty versus filial piety.’
Who doesn’t wish to stay forever by their parents’ side, who doesn’t want to grow old with their loved one, who doesn’t want their family to live happily and prosperously…
But without those defending the holand, fighting the enemies, resisting invasions…
How could there be lifelong companionship and family joy?
In this real life,
when people celebrate holidays, sing joyfully in clubs at night, enjoy peace and tranquility…
Who stands guard at the borders, regardless of the extre cold?
Who guards the peace of the nation, no matter day or night?
Who charges to the front line when disaster strikes?
And who, when the fireworks are dazzling, can only bury their longing deep in their hearts?
Who doesn’t have parents or loved ones?
Who isn’t in the pri of their youth?
This scene is just a microcosm.
It’s a simple way to portray the great sacrifices made by soldiers and their families when war looms.
Art originates from life.
…
Of course.
Romance scenes, are they ever straightforward?
Wu Jie had been trying his best to imrse himself in the character, acting with the psychological mindset and behavior expected of his role.
He knew there would be a kissing scene tonight, but it was only supposed to be a touch of the lips.
But he never expected…
Bai Fengling to co on so fiercely, so accurately!
Her eyes brimming with deep emotion, tears flowing like springs, her shimring gaze fixed on him, filled with yearning and reluctance.
In that instant,
Wu Jie was sowhat taken aback by Bai Fengling’s sudden emotional outburst.
So after being stunned for two seconds, he suddenly widened his eyes in shock.
“Cut!”
The director imdiately yelled cut, his expression twisting to the utmost.
“Ah, I…
I really…”
“That was very, very good just now, it was nearly perfect!”
Wu Jie imdiately stepped back half a step, separating his lips from Bai Fengling’s.
“Sorry, director, that was too sudden, I wasn’t quite ready!”
“Ah?
Didn’t the script already specify that there would be a bit of a kissing scene?” the director exclaid in surprise.
Wu Jie apologetically smiled, “I knew there was, but…
I didn’t expect Fengling to…
Ah, sorry, let’s do one more take, I assure you we can nail it!”
Bai Fengling, not bothering to touch up her makeup or wipe her tears, quickly spoke up for Wu Jie:
“It’s okay, the first take was already quite good!”
The director instantly agreed, “Yes, that’s right!
It was already exceptionally good.
If Mr.
Wu hadn’t widened his eyes in shock just now, and had waited just two or three seconds for us to make a complete close-up shot, we would have passed this scene!”
Wu Jie nodded, “I know, there won’t be any more slip-ups!”
“Let’s take a break!
Everyone, touch up your makeup!”
The director waved his hand, and the makeup artist promptly stepped forward.
Wu Jie glanced at Bai Fengling.
Just now in the scene, she had been very proactive.
Now she seed a bit shy!
Bai Fengling was indeed feeling shy.
One take…
she was not happy with that!
Finally having an excuse under the guise of filming, how could she not make the most of it?
She had already decided in her heart that she would do this scene several tis.
If Wu Jie didn’t make mistakes, she would intentionally ss up, just to shoot a few more takes.
…
Not far away, Tang Xin obviously had long known about Bai Fengling’s ‘devious sches’.
But she didn’t speak up imdiately or join in the teasing.
Till now, she was still stunned.
At the mont Bai Fengling showed genuine emotion and cried, Tang Xin’s heart clenched imdiately.
It felt as if her heart had stopped, and in the whole world, in her entire vision, there were only the two of them.
Although she was psychologically prepared, she still felt a sourness in her heart now.
“Standby—Action!”
At the director’s command, the filming continued.
Of course, they did not restart the entire scene, but just went back a little.
Starting from where Bai Fengling hugged Wu Jie tightly from behind.
Filming was done piece by piece, and through post-production cutting and editing, it would seem very smooth.
Tang Xin slowly regained her senses and quietly watched Bai Fengling’s intense acting.
That’s right!
Just now during the makeup touch-up, she was exchanging shy glances with Wu Jie.
But as soon as the filming started, she imdiately slipped into her role.
She transford into the wife who couldn’t bear to see her husband go off to war, who couldn’t bear to see him die in battle.
Her facial expressions were exceptionally moving.
Especially those tears, they instantly began to flow.
Tang Xin’s eyes widened.
She found it simply unbelievable.
“Wow—professional actress, indeed strong!”
As Tang Xin silently muttered, among the duo ‘locked’ by multiple caras, Wu Jie moved.
He gently unclasped Bai Fengling’s hand, his expression solemn as he silently turned around.
In a flash,
Bai Fengling imdiately t him head-on, seemingly using too much force this ti, not quite getting the asure right.
It looked more like she was giving life-saving artificial respiration, rather than portraying the deep emotion of parting.
“Cut!”
The director imdiately called a halt.
“Fengling, you were too forceful!” Don’t get too excited, just like last ti, you must be precise, gentle, and affectionate!”
Bai Fengling nodded slightly, and the makeup artist quickly touched up her makeup.
“Ready—Action!”
The third take started.
Tang Xin had anticipated that Bai Fengling’s tears would co.
She also knew that after Wu Jie turned around, Bai Fengling would take the initiative.
At first, everything went smoothly, the emotional buildup was very good.
The lighting technician and set designer created an atmosphere that was particularly tragic and stirring.
The two managed to et smoothly and held the position for two seconds before…
They were supposed to tilt their heads, misalign for three seconds, then embrace together—this would have completed the take.
Unfortunately…
This ti it truly wasn’t intentional.
When they tilted their heads, they accidentally tilted in the sa direction.
Instantly!
They bumped heads.
This ti, no need for the director to call cut, everyone in the studio couldn’t help but laugh.
“Did that hurt?”
Wu Jie touched Bai Fengling’s forehead.
“No worries!”
With tears still in her eyes, Bai Fengling smiled brightly:
“Then next ti, you lean to my right shoulder, and I’ll lean to my left!”
Wu Jie nodded briefly, stepped back to let the makeup artist check their makeup.
Tang Xin, not far away, couldn’t help but chuckle.
She gave Bai Fengling a look that said, ‘You’re aweso.’
Using the guise of filming to mix business with pleasure, indeed!
At this rate, it looked like they would need several more takes for this romantic scene.
Without kissing enough, how could Bai Fengling possibly end the scene?
Tang Xin knew, Bai Fengling was a professional actress.
Wu Jie’s role wasn’t very substantial, he just needed to act deep and sorrowful.
In this romantic scene, Bai Fengling was the main character.
And she, experienced as she was, could easily create various little mishaps, or wait for Wu Jie to make mistakes.
And indeed.
The fourth ti, although they tilted their heads in the right direction, Bai Fengling tenderly leaned on Wu Jie’s shoulder.
However…
The inexperienced Wu Jie forgot to hug her.
The assistant director, anxious, imdiately clung to a column, before Wu Jie finally reached out his arm, but his movent was too stiff…
No choice, that take was a failure too.
The fifth ti.
Just after making contact, Wu Jie seed too hasty to tilt his head, and the director called cut.
The sixth ti.
They managed to embrace, but the move was inadequate, and it looked too fake.
A couple about to part ways—how could they possibly just embrace lightly symbolically?
The director instructed Wu Jie to hug forcefully, to show a look of being unable to part.
A short break.
The seventh and eighth tis…
Tang Xin shook her head as she watched.
Truly undeniable!
Tang Xin could clearly sense that Bai Fengling’s mood was almost slipping.
Succeeding in her ‘scheming’ surely made her unable to suppress her joy.
She was supposed to portray unbearable parting, tearful sadness, but she looked like she was about to crack up laughing anyti.
So, the tenth attempt failed as well.
Ten takes in a row.
Photography, sound, makeup…
The staff were all getting exhausted.
But Tang Xin felt, Bai Fengling wasn’t done yet!
Tsk tsk!
This breathtaking trickery was simply outrageous!
Tang Xin simply grabbed a stool and sat down to watch, counting slowly.
She watched to see how many more kisses Bai Fengling would need, confident that Jie, with his high intelligence, would also sense sothing was amiss.
Sure enough.
After the eleventh failed take, Wu Jie couldn’t help but whisper to Bai Fengling.
Although Tang Xin couldn’t hear what they were saying, seeing Bai Fengling’s obedient nodding ant she probably didn’t dare to continue playing around.
Wu Jie was getting a bit fed up.
Just this short scene, going back and forth eleven tis, it was just a kiss, what’s so fun about that?
So, Wu Jie told Bai Fengling ‘enough with the gas.’
Afterward.
The twelfth take, sure enough, went smoothly.
The director imdiately stood up and applauded.
“Not bad, not bad, this take was very good.
Now, Mr.
Wu, let’s go outside and film a scene of you leading troops, and you can wrap up your part!”
Wu Jie nodded slightly and bowed slightly to everyone with a smile.
“Sorry for making everyone go through so many takes!”
Bai Fengling was slightly stunned, then quickly apologized.
“Jie really worked hard, huh?
Your first ti filming a romantic scene, and so many NGs!”
Tang Xin approached and handed Wu Jie a wet wipe.
The implication was clear, to wipe his lips!
But Wu Jie just took it and didn’t wipe his lips in front of Bai Fengling.
After all, just a lip touch, if you need to wipe that off, wouldn’t that seem like he found Bai Fengling dirty?
Respect others, respect won.
Wu Jie wasn’t just talking; even when leaving, he was helping to move things.
So many NGs earlier had worn out the staff.
Once everyone had left, Tang Xin playfully bumped Bai Fengling.
“You really went too far!
Mixing personal desires in your professional work, and even shot it twelve tis!”
“Out of your personal greed, you made everyone work so hard!
Look at how polite Jie is, unlike you!”
“If Jie hadn’t warned you, you probably would have gone for a hundred takes, right?”
Tang Xin’s sarcastic tone made Bai Fengling imnsely embarrassed.
“Ooh!
Feeling ashad now, are you?”
Tang Xin humd coldly:
“Don’t think you’re feeling sweet inside now, if Xiao finds out, she’ll surely skin you alive!”
“Daring to ss around like this, you really must have the courage of a leopard!”
Right after she spoke, Tang Xin’s phone rang.
“Hah, what did I just say?
It’s Xiao’s call!!”
