Chapter 93: Chapter 94: Kiss Scene
Translator: 549690339
Only Chen Yu would dare speak to Xia Weiwei like that. He was the show's star; even Xia Liangdong had to flatter and indulge him.
Furious, Xia Weiwei pointed at Chen Yu and demanded, "Dare you say that again?"
Chen Yu merely raised an eyebrow, ignoring her. He turned to Xia Yangyang, putting his arm around her neck. "Little Miss, we have a kissing scene today. Excited?"
Xia Yangyang, having read the script yesterday, already knew. The director scheduled her and Chen Yu's first scene together to help them adjust to working with each other. The scene depicted Lin Xiaofan gaining the ability to manipulate space, imagining a time-travel scenario where she found herself in Kim Shixun's bedroom, tumbling onto his bed, their first encounter a seemingly heavenly kiss.
To be honest, Xia Yangyang wasn't particularly excited. But acting was just a job to her; she always gave her best effort. Off-screen, however, she preferred to avoid deep involvement.
Xia Yangyang removed Chen Yu's hand from her shoulder. "I'm going to get my makeup done."
Xia Weiwei stamped her foot nearby. "Are you two ignoring me?"
Xia Yangyang was prepared. The shooting location, reportedly a villa near the school, wasn't the school itself. Once ready, the leads got into the car.
Lu Yao, sitting beside Xia Yangyang, commented, "Our shooting location is supposedly provided by a mysterious wealthy person." Such things weren't uncommon; some directors or producers used their own homes for filming.
Xia Yangyang, however, was unprepared for what happened next. The car entered Maple Villa, the closest high-end residential area to the university. A vague sense of foreboding washed over her, confirmed moments later when the car stopped in front of the villa she shared with Gu Qichen. The "mysterious wealthy person" was Gu Qichen.
Before filming, the director explained that Mr. Gu, the villa's owner, was heavily invested in the drama. Everyone expressed curiosity and amazement upon entering. Maple Villa was a well-known, exclusive area, boasting ultimate privacy, luxurious amenities, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
Lu Yao, going upstairs, pointed at a mural. "Isn't that an oil painting by Master Leng Jun? It fetched 50 million at auction! Goodness, these walls are filled with money!"
Xia Yangyang was equally surprised. While she knew the villa was luxurious, she never imagined a random painting was worth a fortune. She felt guilty, worried about leaving traces behind, despite having cleared out her belongings.
The villa had over a dozen bedrooms, yet Gu Qichen only provided one, a clearly redecorated and luxurious guest room. After settling in, the director briefed them on the scene. Xia Yangyang, though lacking formal training, was well-versed in filmmaking from her childhood thanks to her father.
Filming went smoothly; the director praised her talent. At four o'clock, it was time for the final scene: the kiss.
