Chapter 337 - 315: Why Do You Always Avoid Me?
The next morning, Yin Xiaojing was already there, ready to take them all to the film set.Yi An had never been so grateful for her presence, not having to face Su Yan alone.
Just seeing him made her heart a mess with unexplainable feelings, just wanting to avoid him.
Seeing An’an heading straight to the passenger seat, Yin Xiaojing chuckled and teased, "Why are you sitting here today? Usually, you cling to your Little Uncle."
An’an forced a laugh and said, "I’m feeling a bit dizzy, afraid of getting carsick, it’s more comfortable here."
"Dizzy? Caught a cold?"
"No, maybe I didn’t sleep well last night, it’s nothing."
Sitting alone in the back seat, Su Yan’s face was somewhat gloomy. He could vaguely sense that she was avoiding him.
Was it because she was in a relationship? Had Rong Yushen said something to her, causing her to be wary of him?
At the film set, their partnership wasn’t as smooth, even though the scene was simple, it took almost ten takes.
"An’an, you’re out of state after just one day off."
"Sorry."
"It’s okay. Rehearse the lines with Su Yan again. Everyone else, take a break, but don’t go far."
An’an didn’t know why, but it felt like she brought her personal feelings into her performance, she couldn’t even look Su Yan in the eye, let alone act as a girl pursuing him.
"What’s wrong with you?" Su Yan also noticed something, handing her an opened thermos cup while asking.
She looked at the cup. Even though she was thirsty, she didn’t take it, just shook her head, "I don’t feel like drinking right now."
They used to drink bottled water on set, but he said it was cold and she had a problem with cold, so he bought her a thermos cup, which she had been using for many years.
Su Yan’s eyes dimmed as he closed the cup, "Why are you always avoiding me?"
An’an forced another laugh, "I’m not."
"But you never look at me, even now."
An’an quickly changed the topic, "I need to use the restroom," and hurried off before he could say more.
After composing herself in the restroom, it still took two more takes to get the scene right.
There was a kiss scene in the afternoon. An’an used to think they were no challenge, as they had become accustomed to filming them. He was skilled and would always lead her to finish in one take, but now just the thought gave her goosebumps.
In the scene, the heroine forcefully kisses the hero, only for him to take over.
They had never used body doubles for such scenes before, and the director planned a close-up, but An’an couldn’t get over her nerves and talked to the director about using a body double. The director was puzzled, "You’ve always done fine before, why now?"
An’an couldn’t explain it; the reason was something she couldn’t voice, not even to herself.
After much persuasion, the director agreed.
The background for the scene was the emergency stairwell of the hero’s company. The heroine pushes the hero against the wall and, quite domineering, stands on tiptoe to kiss him.
An’an had never used body doubles, and when her lips were just centimeters away from his, she didn’t know what to do.
"Cut! The body double needs to be more realistic. You can’t just stop when you’re near. Again!"
...
"Cut! This clearly wasn’t on target, move closer.""
An’an took a deep breath and looked up at Su Yan. He was acting just like his character—a cold, expressionless man. She couldn’t tell if it was his real emotions or just the character’s.
