After Shen Liangchuan filmed a few scenes, it was time to film the scene in which Xiao Qiao tripped and was saved by Zhou Yu .
Best Actor Shen had never liked close physical contact with women . Hence at this point, the double was called in .
Shen Liangchuan was waiting to discuss with the director which might be the best way to embrace her, when the director pointed at a man who was hovering around Qiao Lian . “Best Actor Shen, this is your double . He will be doing the intimate scenes that follow . ”
“Don’t worry, those two have been getting to know each other since this morning, so the segments we’ll be filming won’t be too poorly done! After that, we can film a few close-ups of you and that will sort things out . Errr… Best Actor Shen, do… you have any advice for us?”
As the director spoke, he noticed Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkening, hence he immediately sealed his mouth nervously .
Shen Liangchuan’s gaze, on the other hand, fell on Qiao Lian, who was chatting and laughing with the double .
Ah!
He had been wondering about this guy, who had been hovering around Qiao Lian since early in the morning . It turned out he was the double!
All he had been looking forward to was filming these intimate scenes and being close to Qiao Lian . And now they had found him a double?
Shen Liangchuan was livid, enraged and embarrassed into anger .
He said immediately, “There’s no need for the double . ”
The director was stunned . “What? What then?”
Shen Liangchuan shot him a dirty look and said, “That double looks too ugly . ”
The director stammered, “But… we’ll only shoot his back, not his face . ”
“Oh . He’s a bit of a hunchback . ”
Hunchback?
“Is he?”
The director looked across the room . That guy had a posture as straight as anything, he had used to be a military officer .
Best Actor Shen lowered his gaze indifferently and insisted, “He is . Look carefully . ”
The director said uncertainly now, “… Maybe, perhaps, it seems he is just a little?”
“Uh huh . So we can’t use him . ”
“Well then, we’ll look for a new person for you?” the director offered .
“Today’s segment… Isn’t it terribly urgent?”
The director was suddenly at a loss and replied, “We- we have a month?”
They had nothing but time .
This was an advertisement and the end product would be in total twenty minutes long . A month to film was more than enough .
“Are you saying we can waste time just because we have a month?”
The director fell silent .
You wanted to replace the makeup artist yesterday and that’s what we did . That took time too, didn’t it?
So what is the hurry now?
But of course, he didn’t dare say these thoughts out loud .
He could only say falteringly, “So- so- what should we do?”
Shen Liangchuan sighed and replied, “We won’t be able to find a suitable double with such short notice . Since that’s the case, I’ll film these scenes myself . ”
Oh, that look of great reluctance .
Immediately, the director bowed his head and said, “We’ll have to trouble you then!”
His expression was full of gratitude .
One had to understand that, right from the onset of his career, Best Actor Shen had never had to do the intimate scenes himself .
And he was actually going to do this for the first time in their advertisement! This was great publicity in itself .
The director’s eyes lit up . “Best Actor Shen, you are certainly our crew’s lucky star! Nothing would beat having you act in these segments yourself . Nevertheless, we will start looking for a new double for you immediately . Today’s scenes are not that intimate . There is a bedroom scene the day after tomorrow and we’ll find you a suitable double by then, for sure!”
Shen Liangchuan replied, “… No hurry, take your time in looking . ”
How could they not hurry?
Best Actor Shen was just giving them face by saying there was no hurry .
But it wouldn’t be good to overstep their boundaries . Hence, they had to find that perfect double as soon as possible .
