Before the kissing scene began, Xia Weiliang felt a bit nervous.
She was still in the early stages of that kind of intimate kiss!
"Nervous?" Su Yuxi wanted to ease her mood, smiling as he said, "Just follow me later. Don't worry too much."
"Just kidding, it's just a kissing scene~ I'll show you what professional looks like in no time!"
Xia Weiliang lifted her chin and went to reapply her makeup, her skirt trailing.
Su Yuxi watched her retreating figure, a smile unconsciously curving his lips, a hint of tenderness he himself hadn't noticed gently overflowing.
"Weiwei Jie, I don't know who leaked the news on Weibo, but your fans have exploded!"
Xiao Nuomi stared at the comments on her tablet.
Xia Weiliang raised an eyebrow, nodding with understanding, "It's understandable for fans to object in order to protect their idol."
"Uh, actually... not really."
Nuomi showed her the tablet. The atmosphere in the comment section was truly… refreshing!
【Oh my god! This is like rain after a long drought! So happy, everyone!】
【It's settled! It's settled! Quickly close the doors and keep them here! We can't let them escape, no matter what!】
【If you ask me, filming requires seriousness and responsibility. If you feel anything is not quite right, then NG it, and NG it to death!】
【If you have time, do a few more takes. Don't be afraid of wasting film. If necessary, we can crowdfund! We must make sure Niang Niang kisses to her heart's content and realistically!】
【Family, friends, sisters! We understand your excitement, but please hold back a little! We can afford to lose Niang Niang's face, but we must keep our own!】
Xia Weiliang: "..."
She took a deep breath, her smile incredibly healing.
She could tell now that compared to the anti-fans, her own fans were clearly more lethal, with a higher rate of friendly fire.
Once they spoke, there was no need for anti-fans. Did they dare to compete with them for market share? Had they asked the mouth beneath their noses if it agreed?
And, they either stayed silent, or when they did speak, it was the kind of thing that could send her away.
But it was also good. Whether it was her or her fans; whether it was before rebirth or after rebirth, their hearts were strong, which was also a good thing.
At this moment, the assistant director came to rush them. All the crews were ready, waiting only for her, the female lead.
"Hehe... hehe..."
Xia Weiliang turned and walked out, her movements possessing the quality of an international catwalk, her body seeming to twist at an eighteen-degree angle.
It's just a kiss!
What a big deal!
Knowing that the kissing scene between the two of them was decided on the spot, the set became exceptionally lively. The young lady in charge of shooting promotional materials stood ready with her camera!
Director Liu joked when he saw Xia Weiliang approaching, "Liang, did you report this to Xiao Yi?"
Hearing this, chuckles erupted around them, and everyone craned their ears, waiting for her answer.
"Director Liu, the fact that you can ask such a question clearly shows you don't know me well enough!"
Xia Weiliang sighed deeply, tilting her chin up at a melancholic 32-degree angle. "Acting is paramount! That's my creed. As long as it's for the sake of acting, all film emperors and empresses must step aside! I..."
She turned around and suddenly froze.
Not far away, Xiao Yi was leaning against an ancient red pillar, his gaze fixed on her through his black glasses.
"Gulp..."
She swallowed, maintaining a proper smile on her face.
"I just..."
Director Liu nodded silently, "You said a lot."
"And did he..."
Director Liu nodded again, "He heard it all."
"...%￥&;"
Director Liu shook his head disapprovingly, "Young lady, it's not good to swear."
Just then, a coffee truck drove in and parked outside the studio. Xia Weiliang's poster was plastered on the side of the truck. Yan Zhi and Da Yang stood on either side like mascots: "Miss Xia is treating everyone to coffee."
When the film emperor came to visit, they definitely had to show respect.
So, Director Liu immediately signaled for a break, and everyone thanked Xiao Yi and Xia Weiliang.
"You... you're welcome..." Xia Weiliang, with her small hands moving like a pendulum, slowly shuffled towards Xiao Yi, "Teacher Xiao, you've spent too much!"
Xiao Yi looked at her calmly and casually removed his sunglasses, "If I remember correctly, you still owe me several million, don't you?"
Xia Weiliang froze, looking up at him in disbelief, "Are you here to collect a debt?"
"Can't I?"
"Of... of course! Very much so!"
Xia Weiliang quickly fetched a chair, offered him water, and fanned him, "Teacher Xiao, didn't we agree? We'd pay in installments."
"Mmm." He took a sip of water. Xia Weiliang quickly extended her hands, then respectfully took the cup and placed it aside, continuing to fan him.
"I've changed my mind."
"..."
Aren't all men this fickle these days?
Is there no basic integrity between a creditor and a non-creditor?
He half-closed his eyes, looking at her, "Given your attitude towards me..."
Thump—
Xia Weiliang immediately knelt on the ground, hugging his thigh with both hands, looking up at him pitifully, "I was wrong."
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
"I was wrong, truly wrong. In the future, I will treat you according to the standard you placed on the table!"
Xiao Yi's dark eyes narrowed again, "Xia Weiliang, you say you were wrong, so tell me, what exactly did you do wrong?"
"I was wrong in everything!"
She had already admitted it so sincerely, but Xiao Yi's lips curved slightly, clearly still not satisfied.
"It seems you still don't understand."
"Um... perhaps Teacher Xiao could enlighten me?" Su Dan Novel Network
Xiao Yi's face stiffened, and his gaze turned cold, "Why didn't you report the kissing scene to me?"
Xia Weiliang blinked her eyes, "I mentioned it before..."
He hit the nail on the head, "But you didn't say you'd kiss with genuine emotion."
"Hey! But Teacher Xiao, you should understand! We're all in the same industry. Making small sacrifices for the sake of acting is nothing! Besides... this isn't really a sacrifice..."
Her voice was very quiet, but he heard it clearly, "Not a sacrifice? Heh... you have a big heart."
Xia Weiliang understood his temperament, and upon hearing that laugh, she knew something bad had happened.
He was genuinely angry this time.
She got up from the ground, stood up, placed her hands on her hips, and glared at him.
She was wearing ancient costume, and the makeup suited her perfectly. Her puffed-up expression was incredibly lively, making it impossible to look away.
"Xiao Yi! Are you here to cause trouble! Does this mean you won't allow any intimate scenes in your future dramas either? If you agree, then I..."
"I agree."
"See, I knew you wouldn't... You agree?"
Xia Weiliang was a little stunned.
This wasn't right! Film Emperor Xiao didn't usually act like this!
"What? Can't you do it?"
Xiao Yi looked at her with a half-smile, making it impossible to guess his true intentions.
In any case... it made her very uneasy! Extremely uneasy!
What exactly was this guy trying to say?
"Uh, I think..."
"Heh, if you can't do it, just say you can't. I won't blame you."
"Oh, then I can't do it."
Since he had put it that way, Xia Weiliang had to generously admit it.
