Top Dupe CH 028 How To Shoot A Kiss Scene? Part 2

There was no need to explain this sentence too much, Luo Yu could understand Gu Xiaowei's feelings.

If every character and every drama was a world, but the actors in the same crew, especially the actors acting opposite you, have not entered this world and instead only read the lines or perform superficially, whereas Gu Xiaowei had already entered this world, then in that world Gu Xiaowei was alone and performing a one-man show.

There were no sparks, no confrontations, no one to understand him, and no one to meet him head to head.

——How lonely was this.

This feeling was like Gu Xiaowei had been away from school for a long time. When he returned to the drama stage, all his colleagues had left, and he stood on the empty stage practicing his lines and expressions. Everything relied on imagination, a fictional world in his mind, and he was the only one in this world.

That night, Luo Yu heard movement on the drama stage at almost midnight, so he walked over to take a look.

Even without an audience, Gu Xiaowei recited his lines with great emotion. Even without the stage lights, he still attracted all the attention.

Luo Yu was infected at that moment and subconsciously spoke the next line.

Everything happened naturally, Luo Yu accompanied him to complete the whole play.

Even if there was no audience or applause, when Gu Xiaowei looked over, Luo Yu found that the other man had an endless desire to perform.

It wasn’t like hitting it off right away, but a natural tacit understanding.

The play they collaborated on was a sell-out, and it had many extra performances.

At the end of the last show, they were drinking a few yuan a can of beer backstage, and Gu Xiaowei, who had always had great self-control, got drunk and leaned on Luo Yu's shoulder and said, "I should have come closer to you sooner.”

"Me too." Luo Yu replied generously.

Suddenly, Luo Yu looked at the decade younger face in front of him, as if time and space overlapped, and the dew returned to the dust.

"Finally not so lonely——someone else is in the same world as me."

"Me too."

The room became quiet, but it was not embarrassing at all.

"However, I may not be able to wait for you. Your role will be finished in at least a month and a half or even two months later than mine. In this short time, I have to act well, no matter how small the role is, I have to work hard. So next time when we meet again, I can maintain my condition. Not to mention I also have to pay off the mortgage on my house. I can't just sleep in the film and television studio and wait for work, right?"

"En." Gu Xiaowei nodded, "Now Senior Brother, it's time for you to practice with me."

"Practice lines? Don't tell me that you really want to practice romantic scenes. The only romantic drama I've ever acted in in my life was "Plum Blossom Rain."

"Didn't you kiss the heroine?" Gu Xiaowei said lightly.

It's just that the mild tone sounded a bit cold.

"Hey, a second male lead like me, how could I have the chance to kiss the heroine! Xiao Qin must have told you, right? She remembered it wrong."

"On the cheek." Gu Xiaowei said concisely.

"Cheek?" Luo Yu frowned, raised his head and thought seriously, and then recalled, "I didn't kiss the heroine's face at all. It was a trick position——I was just kissing my own hand!"

"En?" Gu Xiaowei looked suspicious.

"Have you never done this before? This kind of fake kiss?"

"Not yet. The previous romantic scenes were all about eyes, hugs, or close contact, the director didn't require kiss scenes."

Luo Yu patted the back of his head. This was Gu Xiaowei from ten years ago, and he was still "innocent".

"You don't happen to still have your first on-screen kiss, do you?"

"Senior Brother's first on-screen kiss was in "Plum Blossom Rain"?"

"No… didn't I just tell you? What I kissed was my own finger." Luo Yu emphasized again.

"How was the trick position done?" Gu Xiaowei said.

"Have you never eaten pork, or seen pigs running?" Luo Yu asked back.

"I've actually never seen a pig run." Gu Xiaowei's expression was serious.

Luo Yu was a little unsure whether Gu Xiaowei had literally never seen a pig run, or whether he had never seen how to shoot a kissing scene in a trick camera position.

But the other man clearly wanted him to perform it for him! Fine then!

"That's it! I'll show it to you!"

Luo Yu waved to Gu Xiaowei, and Gu Xiaowei leaned towards Luo Yu and leaned one hand next to Luo Yu.

As soon as this guy came closer, a certain aura enveloped Luo Yu. Luo Yu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, stretched out his hand to hold up Gu Xiaowei's cheek, and put his thumb on the corner of his lips, speaking slowly and teasingly: "Teacher Gu, your posture is quite good. I can't tell that you really don't know how to do it?"

"I…"

Just as Gu Xiaowei was about to speak, Luo Yu closed his eyes, tilted his face, and kissed his thumb.

They were so close together that their breathing blended together. As long as Gu Xiaowei moved slightly, he could touch the tip of Luo Yu's nose.

The whole space became intense, as if the rose thorns in a certain someone's body which were restrained from revealing any clues, but because of this kiss across thousands of mountains and rivers they eagerly wanted to cut open his body and grow wildly.

Luo Yu opened his eyes, moved back, and widened the distance between them.

What a pity, Gu Xiaowei's expression was indifferent, without any hint of shyness.

"That's pretty much the fake kiss I had at that time." Luo Yu replied.

Gu Xiaowei lowered his eyes and thought seriously for a while, "Director Lin... probably won't allow fake kisses."

"That's true. It's not real enough, not professional enough, and it just fools the audience." Luo Yu sighed, "Where's the script? Let's see how this kiss can be designed to make it easier for you to accept."

"Here." Gu Xiaowei took out the script from his coat pocket.

Luo Yu took it and opened it while recalling in his mind, when he was watching this TV drama in his previous life, did Yan Ye kiss the heroine?

Why didn't he remember?

"Oh, here's the kissing scene. Actually, Yan Ye kissed the heroine in order to convey news to his colleagues, in reality it was to put a capsule into the heroine's mouth."

"En."

"Yan Ye hadn't fallen in love with the heroine yet."

Also, this scene was quite dog blood and old-fashioned, who would've thought it to be written by Screenwriter Hua?

"So, what kind of expression should I have?"

Luo Yu understood Gu Xiaowei's concerns. If it was in other dramas, it would just be a simple touching of lips, but for Gu Xiaowei, it was impossible for him to act so irresponsibly.

The heroine was a comrade to Yan Ye. Overstepping the boundaries with his comrade for the sake of the mission while there were a lot of people watching and even heckling. If the kiss was not frivolous enough, it would not look believable, but at the same time how could he also express Yan Ye's inner feelings of deep respect for the other person?

The audience may not mind if you shoot a fake kiss without delving into the emotional levels of the characters, but the tension of delivering the capsule under the noses of enemies and opponents would drop drastically.

Luo Yu took a deep breath, put his fist against his lower lip, and imagined the scene in his mind.

After a long time, Luo Yu said, "How about we give it a try."

"How to try?"

"How else can we try? Come and kiss me, and I'll observe your expression. You should have learned how to fake kiss me just now, right? If you learn how, we won't have to worry about our mouths getting swollen if we try too many times." Luo Yu stretched out his hands and gestured at the other, "Come on, come on."

According to the script, Luo Yu put on a guarded and cold expression on his face. At this time, the heroine should not know that Yan Ye was her colleague.

He quickly entered the scene in the play——surrounded by people who were heckling and watching the show, including Bai Zhongxing's men who were secretly observing. And Yan Ye, the man known as Bai Ying's confidant and the Bai family's mad dog, stood in front.

As soon as Luo Yu opened his eyes, he saw Gu Xiaowei's smiling eyes, which were half playful and half warning. The more casual his smile became, the tighter Luo Yu's nerves became.

The next moment, Gu Xiaowei grabbed Luo Yu's chin. The strength of his fingers forced Luo Yu to raise his head and open his mouth. He fell backward and supported himself with his arms.

Gu Xiaowei's kiss landed suddenly, with an aura that could not be refused, and Luo Yu's heart almost jumped out of his throat, until Gu Xiaowei kissed him hard on the fingers that were holding Luo Yu's chin.

His face tilted at an angle slowly and forcefully, the silent but boiling waves were overwhelming. Luo Yu clenched his fists, and his face was turned to various angles by Gu Xiaowei's hands. This time, the tip of Gu Xiaowei's nose was pressed close to his, and Luo Yu had the illusion that he was really being forcibly kissed by the other man.

Soon, Gu Xiaowei let him go and asked, "How about it?"

His voice was deep and hoarse, as if he had really experienced a deep kiss.

"You... aren't you amazing..." Luo Yu opened his mouth and managed to say these words.

"Really..." Gu Xiaowei lowered his head as if reviewing his performance just now, and then said something that made Luo Yu want to vomit blood, "Senior Brother, your kissing scenes are not very good."

"What's wrong with it?"

Not very lethal, but extremely insulting.

​Wait a minute, this guy... wanted to use provocation?

Gu Xiaowei, Gu Xiaowei, you have to compete with me even in kiss scenes... There really was no one except you in this life.

Fortunately, there were no kissing scenes in the stage play in the previous life, otherwise Luo Yu would really have difficulty imagining himself and Gu Xiaowei spending all night studying how to perform a kissing scene.

"Whether my kissing scene is good or not, let's put it aside for now, but this kind of kiss is a bit not right for Yan Ye. Don't you think this kiss was a bit strong, without the element of joking, rather it is a bit… a bit..." Luo Yu thought in his mind, searching for the right descriptive words.

"A bit?" Gu Xiaowei asked.

“A bit desperate?" Luo Yu replied.

Gu Xiaowei did not refute, he seemed to agree with Luo Yu's statement.

"How about you be the heroine and I give it a try?" Luo Yu asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaowei nodded and agreed.

Luo Yu immediately stretched out his hand to signal the other to stay where he was: "Sit still and don't move."

The old sparrow also needed to prepare himself.
