Chapter 65: The Choice

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."

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...
