Replacing Sister to Marry into a Wealthy Family

Chapter 65

At first, Bai Yin and Chen Huaixiao tried shooting the kissing scene out of alignment.

However, since this kissing scene lasted five minutes, if shot only from a single angle without switching perspectives, the overall image would be very monotonous.

Moreover, such a long kissing scene without "real props" would inevitably bore the audience.

After several out of alignment shoots, the two actors held back their laughter, but the crew members laughed very unprofessionally.

The misaligned kissing scene looked a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

Finally, after several NGs, Bai Yin, who was extremely demanding of her acting skills and performance, took the initiative and said, "Forget the misaligned shooting, let's try a real kissing scene."

Director Xu certainly hoped they could make it real.

Although Bai Yin had only played second female leads or villainous antagonists before, without any kissing scenes. But she was a professional actress, so this aspect must be no problem.

As for Chen Huaixiao...it was hard to say.

Director Xu anxiously asked, "Mr. Chen, are you okay with shooting a real kissing scene?"

Chen Huaixiao replied without hesitation, "No problem."

"That's great!" Director Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you need the assistant director to come over and give you some tips?"

"No need. She and I don't need anyone to teach us."

Chen Huaixiao looked at Bai Yin with ambiguous eyes.

They had already "gone real" many times.

After the director called action, the third act officially began.

Gu Qing committed suicide by jumping off a cliff behind the ski resort where her lover Cheng Nian had an accident. Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she accidentally returned to many years ago.

It was still the snow-covered ski resort, and the sunlight was glaring.

Gu Qing stumbled down from the back of the mountain, but saw that the deserted and lonely ski resort she saw earlier now had many colorful figures.

Among them, she saw her lover Cheng Nian, who was training as a reserve player in a black and red ski suit practicing alpine skiing on a gentle slope!

Gu Qing stumbled through the snow towards him -

"Cheng Nian!"

Cheng Nian looked back and saw Gu Qing.

Her fair face was flushed, her eyes looked at him in disbelief, with accident, astonishment, and great joy after sadness...

After a long time, Gu Qing's mouth bloomed into a brilliant smile, but as she smiled, tears flowed silently down her cheeks.

Director Xu stared intently at the camera screen, feeling touched.

Such rich and multi-layered emotional expression, Bai Yin really deserved her reputation!

Although Bai Yin had not been in the industry for a long time, every drama she starred in was a masterpiece. Even if some scripts were terribly modified, her consummate acting could still save it, never letting the audience feel it was out of character.

It was really Gu Qing's blessing that Bai Yin could play this role.

In his moment of contemplation, Gu Qing had already run over and hugged Cheng Nian tightly, "Cheng Nian, is it really you?"

"It's me." Cheng Nian revealed a confused and puzzled expression: "Excuse me, who are you..."

The next second, Gu Qing kissed his lips.

The moment their lips touched, Chen Huaixiao quickly detached himself from Cheng Nian's role, hugged the girl in his arms tightly, closed his eyes, and kissed her madly in the snow.

He was very clear that the girl he was kissing was his wife - Bai Yin.

"Cut!"

Director Xu called for a halt and gently explained to Chen Huaixiao, "Mr. Chen...for this scene, although Gu Qing loves Cheng Nian deeply, the young Cheng Nian doesn't even know Gu Qing at all. You can't act like you already love her to the bone, you need to show confusion and puzzlement, and push her away."

"Sorry, let's do it again."

This scene started again, Gu Qing hugged Cheng Nian tightly, "Cheng Nian, is it really you?"

"It's me, may I ask who you are..."

Gu Qing kissed him again, grinding her lips against his, her tears flowing into this extremely passionate deep kiss, carrying a bitter taste.

"It's so good that you're still alive, I've asked Heaven countless times to let me see you again."

Listening to the girl's trembling voice, feeling her kisses mixed with tears, no matter how hard Chen Huaixiao tried to control the surging emotions in his heart, he just couldn't control it.

If it was Bai Yin, if she loved him so much that she was willing to give up her life for him...

Chen Huaixiao's heart was about to break.

His whole body tensed up, and he uncontrollably hugged her tightly again, eagerly responding to this lingering kiss.

Again and again...

Seeing the two passionately entwined and intensely kissing in the snow, the crew members' adrenaline started to rise.

Director Xu saw that the two were kissing so passionately that he didn't even dare to shout "cut", unwilling to disturb them.

However, as a professional director, he also had his own professional ethics, and corrected again, "Mr. Chen, this won't work. You're showing too much love for Gu Qing, which is wrong. You don't even know her now, you need to show surprise and wonder."

Bai Yin's lips were slightly swollen, and she glared at him resentfully, "Do you even know how to act, Chen Huaixiao?"

Chen Huaixiao didn't have a shred of temper towards Bai Yin. He looked longingly at her lips and argued, "This part of the plot is inherently irrational. I don't know Gu Qing, she rushed up to kiss me, I should push her away immediately in a normal reaction, but I have to show surprise and puzzlement while letting her kiss me for five minutes, isn't that very strange?"

"This is a romance drama. At the moment she kisses you, you also need to show a little emotion, you can't treat her completely like a stranger, otherwise the audience won't accept it."

Chen Huaixiao stubbornly said, "Then my performance just now was fine."

"Your performance just now...was too emotional." Director Xu held out his hand and made a pinching motion, patiently explaining, "Mr. Chen, you need to grasp the subtle emotional changes of the character, from confusion, to puzzlement, then uneasiness, and finally a little sense of familiarity and joy."

Chen Huaixiao: "..."

He didn't agree with what the director said, and insisted that there was a problem with the script: "From the male protagonist's perspective, the other party is a stranger, so a five-minute kissing scene, whether it's a romance drama or anything else, is very unreasonable."

Bai Yin knew that although Chen Huaixiao could act, he had his own stubborn understanding of the story and characters, and once he made up his mind about something, he wouldn't change it easily. So she impatiently said, "Director Xu, Mr. Chen obviously doesn't like shooting this scene, since he doesn't like it, let's reduce the length of the kissing scene."

Chen Huaixiao didn't have any temper towards Bai Yin: "No need to cut it. The screenwriter must have had his purpose for arranging it this way. I'll try my best to get into it, please give me a few minutes."

Everyone: "..."

This tycoon's attitude towards Bai Yin was a bit bizarrely double standard.

After mulling it over for a few minutes, Chen Huaixiao finally got back into character, this time, he tried his best to control his impulses, attempting to show the kind of...confusion mixed with a little emotion that the director mentioned.

It was really difficult, because Chen Huaixiao was always extremely focused and invested whenever he was with Bai Yin.

He wasn't a one track mind kind of person, but having to kiss her while acting at the same time was still very forced for him.

In the last minute, Chen Huaixiao started losing control again. This time, Bai Yin directly bit him to remind him that this was just acting.

Finally, Cheng Nian pushed Gu Qing away, breathing hurriedly, temper rising, "Who are you! Do I know you?!"

Of course he didn't know who she was now, because they hadn't met yet.

Gu Qing was too excited just now, so she lost her composure. She took two steps back, smiled brightly at Cheng Nian, and reached out her hand, "Let me introduce myself again, I'm Gu Qing, your future girlfriend."

Cheng Nian gently slapped her hand away, "Something's wrong with you."

After saying that, he turned and left.

But as he left, a faint smile spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Cut!" Director Xu called to stop, "Very good, this part is done!"

Everyone relaxed, especially Bai Yin, whose lips were clearly swollen.

Chen Huaixiao always passed scenes very quickly, his acting skills were always on point, only kissing scenes with her would have countless NGs.

And this fantasy romance drama happened to have countless kissing scenes.

Bai Yin was truly worried about the scenes to come...

...

They would be shooting skiing scenes in the snowy mountains during this period, the crew booked the best located hot spring resort hotel in the surrounding area with tight security, and also hired many security guards to patrol and prevent paparazzi from sneaking shots.

Chen Huaixiao playing the male lead this time needed to be kept strictly confidential, the purpose being to give the audience a huge surprise when the drama aired, so the explosive news could absolutely not be leaked out by the paparazzi prematurely.

After a satisfying meal at the buffet restaurant, Bai Yin saw Shen Bin as she walked out of the restaurant and went up to ask, "Was Anxing Entertainment's bankruptcy caused by being squeezed out by the Chen Group headquarters?"

Shen Bin thought of the happy employees who went to the Maldives for remote work, while he still had to suffer the cold here in the snowy mountains.

He sighed deeply, looking utterly miserable, "Yes, Madam, I can hardly hold on any longer."

Bai Yin's eyebrows furrowed, she didn't expect old Master Chen to be so ruthless, venting his anger at Chen Huaixiao because of her.

Thinking of Chen Huaixiao's past help to her, she took off the emerald ring from her left middle finger.

She absolutely loved this ring...including the sapphire necklace named Deep Infatuation that Chen Huaixiao gave her.

She only wore the necklace when attending formal banquets in evening dresses, but the ring she often wore, only taking it off for filming.

"Here, this should be worth some money, I hope you can hold on no matter what, Chen Huaixiao only has you as such a capable assistant."

Bai Yin had been to the company recently and found that many seats were empty, so many people must have resigned.

"Shen Bin, if you leave as well, my husband will probably be very devastated, but he's the kind of person who hides his emotions very deeply, he won't show it." Bai Yin pushed the ring towards him, "I beg you, please stick with it no matter what."

Shen Bin's hand recoiled as if scalded, "Madam, I absolutely cannot accept this! Master Huaixiao will kill me if he finds out!"

"Take it! Just don't tell him, I won't say anything either."

Shen Bin looked at the emerald ring Bai Yin had slid over with difficulty.

This ring's price was more than he could earn in his lifetime.

He thought about his girlfriend's mother in North City, who had called him many times, always mentioning buying a house there.

With his meager salary, it would be difficult to barely scrape together enough for a house in North City that would satisfy his mother-in-law, even after scrimping and saving painfully for twenty years.

But how could his girlfriend wait ten or twenty years for him...

Thinking of this, Shen Bin's recoiled hand finally relaxed a little, and he tentatively accepted the ring. "Madam, are you sure you want to give this...give this to me?"

"Yes, of course it's for you." Bai Yin nodded lightly. "I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Chen Huaixiao."

Having said that, she prepared to leave.

Looking at the emerald in his hand, Shen Bin struggled for a long time before calling out to stop her, "Madam, actually the company..."

"What about the company?"

The two little figures in his heart struggled. The angel told him he must reveal the truth, but the devil told him not to say anything, so she would remain ignorant. This ring was worth an apartment in North City!

"It's nothing. I just wanted to say, Master Huaixiao really cares about you a lot." Shen Bin finally changed the subject as he caught up to her. "I've never seen him care so much about someone."

Bai Yin smiled, "Is that so?"

Shen Bin said urgently, "Actually, you don't know about many things. Including ordering the boycott of Song Anming for Charming Phantom, it was all Chairman Chen who instructed it to happen. He doesn't say it, but he really can't stand to see you bullied. So you definitely can't divorce him."

Bai Yin was silent for a moment, the corners of her lips twitching slightly in a bitter smile. "But Shen Bin, do you know, if I stay by his side, he will lose everything?"

Shen Bin was stunned, he didn't expect this to be the reason.

"So you moved out of the Chen residence because of this?"

"Why else?" Bai Yin looked at the emerald ring on his hand and said helplessly, "You probably don't know what a greedy person I used to be."

But now, she cared more about the person beside her pillow...
