Chapter 2391 - 2384: Liu Yan’s Unwillingness
Because it was she who caused the crew to fall into the current predicament, Wang Dadong became the only hope for the production.
Actually, at this time, the crew was just making a last-ditch effort, hoping only to finish the series, regardless of whether it’s shot well or poorly.
It’s better than halting the shoot altogether.
But when filming started, everyone was stunned.
All the martial arts moves, Wang Dadong completed in one take! And he did it with incredible flair.
However, filming soon encountered difficulties again.
"What’s going on, Director? Was my acting not good?" Wang Dadong was somewhat puzzled.
"No, your acting is very good, but this scene must use wire work."
"Which scene?"
"The male lead jumps down from the fifth floor..."
Bang!
Standing right on the edge of the fifth floor, Wang Dadong jumped down directly.
"Like this?" Wang Dadong asked calmly after landing gracefully.
Everyone looked like they had eaten a dead rat, mouths agape.
This is the fifth floor...
Isn’t sacrificing oneself for art not supposed to be like this?
Wang Dadong’s performance exceeded everyone’s expectations, achieving an unimaginably good filming effect.
If not for the fact that the series was nearing its end, Wei Hua even considered having Wang Dadong reshoot the series.
Finally, it came to the last shot, where the male lead saves the male lead, and the female lead lies in his arms...
The female lead wrapped her arms around the male lead’s neck, then offered her red lips.
A passionate kiss.
"Director, I remember, there wasn’t this shot in the script, was there?" The cameraman looked back at Wei Hua, bewildered.
"Don’t stop, keep shooting! Make this scene the cover for the promotional poster!" Wei Hua said, overjoyed.
Feeling Liu Yan’s arms around his neck and the lingering fragrance of her lips, Wang Dadong felt he was about to get lost in it.
Wasn’t Liu Yan known to never personally shoot kiss scenes before, so why...
Who cares...
"Cut!"
As the director’s voice called out, the lips finally parted, signaling the end of the series.
Of course, for this last kiss, the camera focused mainly on Liu Yan’s face, capturing all the expressions on her face.
As for Wang Dadong, only his mouth and part of his face were shown, not even his eyes were visible.
No help for it, he’s a stand-in, not suitable for such a close-up shot.
But that’s okay, if the Female CEO saw it, it would be amusing.
After filming ended, the crew started packing up, dismantling the equipment.
The next tasks were up to the staff, nothing for the actors to do.
Liu Yan and Wang Dadong stood side by side in the distance, watching the staff bustling around.
"Thank you so much this time." After a long time, Liu Yan finally spoke, her expression a little shy, seemingly not daring to meet Wang Dadong’s eyes.
After all, it was her first time shooting a kiss scene for real.
At that moment, even she didn’t know why she made such a move.
Perhaps it was gratitude towards Wang Dadong, or perhaps it was to take her first step forward.
Chen Xiang was right, if she still acted as before, maybe her whole life she could only be a second-tier star.
On the contrary, Wang Dadong displayed excellent talent in martial arts.
It can be expected that although Wang Dadong is still unknown, it won’t be long before he becomes famous.
Nowadays, actors with real kung fu are becoming scarce, especially ones like Wang Dadong who dare to fight and perform.
Of course, the premise is that Wang Dadong is willing to enter showbiz.
"You’re welcome." Wang Dadong replied lightly.
No further words were exchanged, as Liu Yan didn’t seem very talkative.
"Sister Liu, the director is calling for you." A short man came over and said to Liu Yan.
"Excuse me." Liu Yan left with the short man.
Wang Dadong, having nothing to do, lit a cigarette and started smoking.
After about ten minutes, Liu Yan returned, but she wasn’t in a good mood, her eyes red.
"What happened?" Wang Dadong asked.
Liu Yan shook her head, indicating she was fine.
Since Liu Yan didn’t want to say, Wang Dadong naturally didn’t bother to ask; actually, he had vaguely heard Liu Yan and Wei Hua’s argument earlier, but it was too far away, and the site was noisy, so he didn’t hear what they specifically said.
But whatever they said didn’t have much to do with him.
Anyway, he was ready to leave, to find the CEO’s big wife, curious how her cameo went today.
"Wait." Just as Wang Dadong turned to leave, Liu Yan suddenly called him.
"What is it?" Wang Dadong turned back to ask.
"I still don’t know your name," Liu Yan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"Wang as in Wang Dadong, Da as in Dadong, Dong as in Dadao." Wang Dadong answered.
"Haha..." Hearing Wang Dadong’s introduction, Liu Yan finally smiled.
But that smile was filled with sadness.
"Actually, you look very nice when you smile." Wang Dadong said.
"Maybe I’m just acting well." Liu Yan said somewhat sarcastically.
"Actually, you act really well, not only can you control your emotions flexibly, but your performance is also very natural, without any pretense."
"Really?"
"Of course, it’s true, no less than any first-tier star." Wang Dadong nodded seriously.
"But what does that matter? Maybe... this industry doesn’t suit me..." A glimmer appeared in Liu Yan’s eyes.
Maybe... this industry doesn’t suit me...
This was the second time Wang Dadong heard these words.
Words from a woman who had despaired of her dreams.
But Liu Yan is already a second-tier star now, much better than the woman who despaired so much she traded her body for a chance.
Wang Dadong couldn’t understand why Liu Yan would say something like this.
At least Liu Yan had signed with a film company, with the company’s packaging and support, at least her popularity wouldn’t fade.
"I’ve already terminated my contract with Hua Chen." Liu Yan suddenly said when Wang Dadong was puzzled.
"Terminated? Why?" Wang Dadong was a bit surprised.
Liu Yan turned her head to look at the man beside her, feeling strange that she had only known him for less than half a day, didn’t understand him, yet was telling him about her contract termination with Hua Chen.
"Because the director demanded that in the next film, I must appear half-naked... saying the company has nurtured me for so many years, yet I haven’t brought enough profit to the company... I don’t know why this is, do female actors really only gain audience approval through revealing their bodies? We have talent too!" Liu Yan’s fists slowly clenched, her voice full of resentment.
Wang Dadong sighed.
This is the tragedy of female actors.
If you don’t reveal, it’s hard to succeed; if you do, you’ll be condemned...
