Chapter 68 Sister Meng Secretly Changes the Play
"I wanted to exercise last night, so I worked out in my room for an hour. I was a bit too loud, and I'm really sorry if I disturbed Sister Yitong," Lin Yu said to Li Yitong, making up a reason.
"No wonder Lin Didi's figure is getting better and better, it turns out he exercises every night." Li Yitong looked like she knew it.
Meng Ziyi dared not utter a word, fearing that Li Yitong would discover something amiss.
The group quickly arrived at the filming location.
Today we started filming the scene where Huang Rong and Guo Jing are healing in the secret room.
Li Yitong's performance received unanimous praise from the director, especially for her well-controlled and subtle portrayal of all the emotional scenes.
Next up are Lin Yu and Meng Ziyi's scenes.
Tonight is a crucial moment in the romantic relationship between Yang Kang and Mu Nianci – the night of the drugged encounter.
Lin Yu had already memorized the script for this scene perfectly.
The scene is set in Mu Nianci's room, with flickering candlelight and an ambiguous atmosphere.
Yang Kang obtained the sleeping potion from Ouyang Ke, but he didn't want to use it.
He came to Mu Nianci not to drug her, but to confess.
Director Jiang Jiajun sat in front of the monitor, holding a walkie-talkie, with a serious expression.
"All departments, get ready. This scene is very important; let's aim for a one-take success."
"Lin Yu, Meng Ziyi, are you ready?"
Lin Yu and Meng Ziyi stood in the scene, looked at each other, and nodded at the same time.
Both of them were dressed in ancient costumes. Lin Yu was still wearing that white robe with gold embroidery, exuding an air of nobility.
Meng Ziyi wore a red cross-collar long dress, her hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands of hair hanging down by her ears, exuding a gentle and languid charm.
"Scene 142, Shot 1 of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Action!"
The clapperboard is down, filming begins.
Lin Yu pushed open the door and entered the room.
His eyes held a hint of hesitation and struggle, as if he were making some important decision.
Meng Ziyi sat on the edge of the bed and stiffened slightly when she saw Lin Yu come in.
Her eyes were filled with vigilance and defensiveness, because she had also heard about Ouyang Ke giving Yang Kang a drug.
"Have you been drinking?" Meng Ziyi's voice was soft, with a hint of aloofness.
"Hmm." Lin Yu walked up to her, but didn't sit down; he just stood there looking at her.
The atmosphere between the two was somewhat tense.
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yu spoke.
"Ouyang Ke gave me a sleeping potion."
Meng Ziyi's body tensed up noticeably, her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, and her eyes showed even more defensiveness.
"I know." Her voice was even softer, as if she was suppressing something.
Lin Yu looked at her, and his eyes suddenly softened.
"But I don't know how to use it."
Meng Ziyi was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at him, the wariness in her eyes slowly fading, replaced by a hint of doubt.
"Why?" she asked.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, as if gathering all his courage.
"Because I like you. Not the kind of... not the kind of liking that's just about possession, but a genuine liking. I want to be with you, not because of physical attraction, but because... I want to spend my whole life with you."
Lin Yu spoke these words very slowly, pronouncing each word clearly.
His voice was deep and gentle, as if he were telling a secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
His eyes were sincere and ardent, filled with tenderness as he looked at Meng Ziyi.
Meng Ziyi's eyes reddened.
Her body trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips repeatedly, as if suppressing something.
"You...you're telling the truth?" Her voice was choked with emotion.
"Really." Lin Yu reached out and gently took her hand.
"My feelings for you throughout my life have been genuine."
Meng Ziyi's tears finally fell.
She wasn't easily moved, but Lin Yu's confession touched her heart deeply.
It wasn't because the lines were well-written, but because Lin Yu acted well.
His eyes, his tone of voice, the warmth of his palm when he held her hand.
Every detail was handled perfectly, making one completely believe that Yang Kang was sincere at this moment.
Meng Ziyi stood up, took a step forward, and snuggled into Lin Yu's arms.
Her face was buried in his chest, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she were crying or laughing at the same time.
Lin Yu put his arm around her, gently patted her back with one hand, and rested his chin on the top of her head.
The two figures, illuminated by the candlelight, were cast on the wall, overlapping each other in a warm and ambiguous way.
Jiang Jiajun sat in front of the monitor, his eyes fixed on the screen.
His finger hovered over the button on the walkie-talkie, ready to call a halt at any moment, but he didn't.
The performance was so smooth, and the emotional progression between the two actors was so natural. It didn't feel like acting at all; it felt more like a real couple pouring their hearts out to each other.
He couldn't bear to interrupt.
The performance inside the venue was still ongoing.
Meng Ziyi lifted her head from Lin Yu's arms, her face still streaked with tears, her eyes red, and the tip of her nose red, making her look pitiful.
Lin Yu lowered his head, his gaze falling on her face.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and an indescribable emotion filled the air.
The candlelight flickered, casting dappled shadows on their faces.
According to the script, the next step should be for Lin Yu to lower his head and kiss Meng Ziyi's forehead.
Then the two lay in bed embracing, implying that Mu Nianci became pregnant with Yang Guo after that night.
Lin Yu slowly lowered his head, his lips moving closer to Meng Ziyi's forehead.
At that moment, Mencius was moved.
She suddenly tilted her head back and pressed her lips directly against Lin Yu's.
"Hmm~"
Lin Yu was clearly taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and obediently closed his eyes.
Their lips met for a full five seconds.
The entire film set fell silent instantly.
Everyone was stunned.
The lighting technician almost dropped the reflector.
The stagehand opened his mouth wide, his water glass wobbled, and water spilled out.
Makeup artist Sister Zhou stood to the side, her powder puff hovering in mid-air, her eyes wide open.
"My God..." someone whispered, their voice filled with disbelief.
Director Jiang Jiajun's hand hovered over the walkie-talkie, and he froze there.
He watched the two kissing on the monitor, his mouth slightly open, his expression slowly changing from surprise to appreciation.
He didn't call a halt.
He discovered that this kiss was more touching than the forehead kiss written in the script.
The forehead kiss in the script represents restraint, tenderness, and Yang Kang's respect for Mu Nianci.
But this kiss was an impulse, a genuine feeling, a natural occurrence that happened between two people in love at their most emotional moment.
More realistic.
Even more moving.
Five seconds later, their lips parted.
Meng Ziyi's face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was also somewhat surprised, but he quickly recovered and continued acting according to the script.
He embraced Meng Ziyi, and the two slowly fell onto the bed.
The candlelight goes out, and the camera slowly zooms out.
"Card!"
Director Jiang Jiajun finally called "cut," his voice tinged with excitement.
"Good! Excellent! This one is approved!"
Lin Yu and Meng Ziyi sat up, looked at each other, and smiled.
Jiang Jiajun walked out from behind the monitor, stood in front of the two men, and wore a satisfied smile.
"You two acted so well. Especially Meng Ziyi, that final kiss, did you add it yourself?"
Meng Ziyi nodded, blushing.
"Director Jiang, I'm sorry, I didn't act according to the script. It's just... I was in the mood at the time and felt that I should do it this way, so..."
"What are you apologizing for?" Jiang Jiajun interrupted her with a smile.
"Great addition! It's even better than the script! The emotional tension in this scene comes through immediately. That's the kind of realism the audience wants, not that fake forehead kiss."
Hearing the director's praise, Meng Ziyi was overjoyed, but she suppressed her laughter and said calmly, "Thank you, Director Jiang."
Lin Yu stood to the side, watching Meng Ziyi's expression of wanting to laugh but being too embarrassed to do so, and secretly found it amusing.
That girl, she's clearly doing it on purpose.
He even pretended to have accidentally lost control.
Meng Ziyi was secretly delighted.
She's making a vow in the drama; Lin Yu is her on-screen partner.
Lin Yu kissed me on the big screen, a perfectly legitimate kiss.
Li Yitong watched all this quietly from the sidelines, a gentle smile on her face.
But I felt a pang of sadness inside.
