Chapter 124 Intimate scenes on the set.

"Dimmer the lights, with more purple tones. Zhiyi, move to the middle."

Inside the house, Director Meng was busy arranging the camera and adjusting the actors' movements and shooting angles. This scene was the only intimate scene in the entire play and was also an important turning point in the plot. He attached great importance to it and everything from a strand of an actor's hair to a candle on the scene were carefully arranged.

"It's a rainy night, the moonlight is very dim, please dim the lights a little more."

Shen Zhiyi stood in the position instructed by Director Meng. According to the script, her clothes were half wet, and her hair, wet by the rain, hung wetly on her shoulders. The male actor who acted opposite her was stabbed and injured, and the makeup artist was patching up the bloodstains on his clothes.

This simple house had a broken window, and the plot required the effect of wind and rain, so the props team brought in a blower. The cold wind on that late October night made her lips turn white.

"Okay," Director Meng was finally satisfied temporarily and sat back behind the monitor. Seeing Shen Zhiyi's pale face, he became dissatisfied again. "Touch up Zhiyi's makeup. Give her a little blush on her face. The picture will look more dramatic later."

After everything was ready, Director Meng shouted "Action".

"Have you always been false to me?" the actor asked, gradually approaching her and trapping her in front of the table. The two of them were very close in an instant, and he didn't want to miss any of her expressions. "Tell me in person."

With a light "bang" sound, Shen Zhiyi leaned her back against the edge of the table, lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, and looked at the bloodstains gradually seeping out of his chest. She paused, and then said in a cold and difficult voice, "I——"

Her waist was suddenly held, and she was lifted up to sit on the table, with the man moving closer.

In the monitor, the camera slowly moved downwards, and the hem of the woman's light-colored skirt was lifted up, leaving only a thin layer of veil. Under the translucent fabric, a hand could be vaguely seen climbing up.

Director Meng: "Move your body a little further to the left."

The male actor did as he was told. Under the cover of his body, Shen Zhiyi's figure was blocked, with only the two slender arms climbing on his shoulders exposed. The cloth wet by the rain stuck to her skin. She suddenly raised her head in unbearable pain. The faint moonlight illuminated her face, and her blush was obvious.

"Cut," Director Meng was dissatisfied with the actor, "You are standing too stiffly, like a wooden stake. Relax a little and bend over."

The male actor listened obediently to Director Meng's lecture. Shen Zhiyi's long hair was messed up, so the stylist came over to help her tidy it up, and Xiao Dong also came over.

"Sister Zhiyi," Xiao Dong's expression was very complicated, "Pei... is here."

Shen Zhiyi raised his eyes: "What?"

now?
"Right over there." Xiao Dong pointed to a corner next to the monitor.

Shen Zhiyi looked in the direction she pointed and saw a familiar figure. In order to create the atmosphere of a rainy night, the light in the house was very dim, and she didn't notice when he came in.

Shen Zhiyi's surprised expression was shown on the monitor. Pei Yu turned sideways and walked out from the dark corner.

The temperature was low at night, so he wore a knee-length coat over his suit, meticulously dressed from head to toe, as if he had just come from some formal occasion. Noticing Shen Zhiyi looking at him, he also raised his eyebrows, but the light was not bright enough to see his expression clearly.

Shen Zhiyi was inexplicably embarrassed, "When did he come?"

Did he see everything just now?
"Since Director Meng said we were going to start filming," Xiao Dong confirmed her guess, "I have been here all along."

He had indeed been to the set a few times, but this was the first time he saw her filming, and how come it happened to be an intimate scene.

There was no time to think about it. Director Meng finished talking to the actor about the scene, and the two returned to their previous positions. "Here," Director Meng said, "you need to use more force. You need to lift Zhiyi up in one go, without any pause."

But the table was a bit high and he could only use one hand. The actor tried several times, but his movements were not smooth. It looked like he didn't have enough strength, which again caused a lot of criticism from Director Meng. He finally passed this step with great difficulty.

Shen Zhiyi was sitting on the table, in front of her was the male actor who was very close to her. He had been scolded several times and was under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, he still had his professional qualities and controlled his expression properly.

The focus of this intimate scene is on Shen Zhiyi, so the monitor mainly shows her reaction. When the man's hand came up, she was stunned, resisted, and tried to break free, but after a few brief dialogues, her attitude changed, her eyes turned red, and her original resistance turned into hugging the man's shoulders. The hem of her skirt was lifted up, revealing a section of her white and slender calves, which trembled as the man moved closer.

There was no noise in the room. In order to ensure the sound was received well, all staff members remained quiet except Director Meng who would occasionally offer suggestions for adjustments.

Pei Yu stood in the corner, staring at the monitor. This was the first time he tried to look at her from this perspective.

On the screen, she suddenly tilted her neck back and let out a soft moan from her throat. Outside the camera, Pei Yu suddenly broke the cigarette that he had been playing with at his fingertips.

Pei Yu's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes darkened, and he casually put the crushed cigarette into his pocket.

"cut!"

Director Meng looked relaxed and it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with this scene. The two actors had a good grasp of the emotions of the lines and perfectly displayed the feeling he wanted. This intimate scene was prepared for the emotional pull and did not require a large scale, but the details must be sufficient.

"Okay, Zhiyi, just add a few more close-ups."

After the close-up shots were completed, Shen Zhiyi finally got some time to rest. She didn't find Pei Yu in his original position in the house, so she walked out.

As soon as she went out, she shrank in the night wind. In order to make the picture look good, she wore very light clothes.

"Pei Yu?"

Pei Yu, who was standing not far away, turned around, walked towards her, and put his coat on her. "Are you done with the filming?"

"Hmm," Shen Zhiyi looked at him curiously, a little surprised.

He didn't seem to mind the intimate scene just now.

It would be best if you don't mind. Shen Zhiyi felt relieved and smelled a little tobacco. "Are you smoking?"

"No," Pei Yu said, "feel in your pocket."

When Shen Zhiyi felt some tobacco crumbs in his coat pocket, he realized that he occasionally had the habit of rubbing the cigarettes, which was better than smoking them.

She brushed off the tobacco crumbs on her hands and said, "I'm going to the lounge for a while. Are you leaving now?"

After shooting this scene, we will have at least half an hour of rest time. It is too cold to stay outside, so it is better to go back to the lounge and wait.

"No," Pei Yu said calmly. He didn't look unhappy, but he wasn't happy either. This gave Shen Zhiyi a strange feeling. "I'll stay with you for a while."

Let's wait a while, Shen Zhiyi nodded, "Okay."
