Chapter 501: Chapter 387: One Scene
"Later on, we’ll be shooting the scene with the two of you getting cozy in bed."
Xue Qin’s opener was a blockbuster for Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun didn’t expect that the filming would begin with this scene.
She had thought that Xue Qin would wait until she got more familiar with Zhang Mo before shooting it.
"This is too fast." Zhou Yun said, "Just hopping into bed like that?"
Zhang Mo held back his laughter, but his smile betrayed a touch of embarrassment.
Xue Qin: "You two are professional actors, right? No problem, I’m sure? The main issue is, if you wait until you’re more familiar with each other to shoot this scene, it’ll be even harder. From my experience, intimate scenes with familiar people tend to cause a lot of corpsing. I don’t want to spend One Day on a single shot like this."
"I’ll try my best." said Zhang Mo.
Zhou Yun couldn’t say outright that she couldn’t do it; it’s really just a psychological issue, and in terms of actual execution, when to shoot if not now?
She said: "Alright, let’s do it."
At least, it’s not any full-on nudity.
Zhou Yun really wasn’t prepared for that kind of scene.
She changed into casual pajamas, let her hair down, roughly tousled it, and then combed it back to create a disheveled look.
She lay down on the bed and tried to sleep.
The quilt and duvet cover obviously had been used before.
"Don’t worry, they have been specially cleaned and sterilized." Xue Qin explained.
Zhou Yun nodded, looked around, and observed the surroundings.
At this point, Zhang Mo appeared.
He was only wearing underwear and a T-shirt, his legs bare.
Xue Qin glanced at him and said, "The T-shirt looks a bit new, take it off and rub it to make it look wrinkled."
Zhang Mo took off the T-shirt and rubbed it.
Probably because he didn’t have much experience being half-naked in front of many people before, Zhang Mo was unusually shy, his head even dipped down a bit.
Zhou Yun lay in bed, propping up her upper body.
Once Zhang Mo had dealt with the T-shirt and put it back on, Xue Qin was satisfied, nodded, and said, "Lie down."
Zhang Mo walked over to the bed, his face actually blushed, and he said quietly to Zhou Yun, "I’m, I’m getting on."
Seeing Zhang Mo so nervous, Zhou Yun herself felt less so.
Xue Qin stood calmly by the bed, her gaze towards the two people unaffected by their shyness and embarrassment, like a robot, looking at them coolly.
"You two are a couple, why keep such a distance?" Xue Qin looked at the gap wide enough for a third person between them in disbelief, "Surely you wouldn’t keep this distance with your own lovers?"
Zhou Yun’s cheeks flushed slightly.
Zhang Mo turned to Zhou Yun and said, "So, I’ll move a bit closer."
Zhou Yun took a deep breath and said to Xue Qin, "Director, first tell us how you want us to play out this scene."
"You are free to improvise, there are only three lines in the script."
The awkwardness continued.
Zhou Yun felt the need to communicate with Zhang Mo.
"How should we do it later?" she asked.
She didn’t expect Zhang Mo’s face to turn as red as a monkey’s butt.
Zhou Yun hadn’t expected, seeing how eloquent Zhang Mo was just the day before, that he would get so easily embarrassed.
"Ah? How, how to do it?" Zhang Mo didn’t quite catch on.
Zhou Yun laughed helplessly and said, "The director wants us to play a couple, to get cozy on the bed."
"Uh..." Zhang Mo opened his mouth but was at a loss for words.
Zhou Yun could only look helplessly towards Xue Qin.
"Director, we’re both a bit restrained right now, don’t leave it to us to improvise. You should just tell us how you want us to perform."
Xue Qin gave them a look that said "How can these two be so disappointing."
Suddenly she lay down on the bed, straddling over Zhang Mo’s body, which startled him, and during that moment as Xue Qin straddled over him, he even thought she was going to sit on top of him.
Xue Qin laid down between them, "Zhang Mo, watch this."
Zhang Mo’s face was red as a cooked shrimp as he nodded.
Xue Qin naturally placed her hand on Zhou Yun’s waist, gently caressing.
But that was a particularly sensitive spot for Zhou Yun, who immediately squirmed from the ticklish sensation, chuckling, "Haha..."
Xue Qin looked at her speechlessly.
"Sorry." Zhou Yun apologized.
Xue Qin continued demonstrating.
Zhou Yun realized she was practically a prop in Xue Qin’s hands, as Xue Qin manipulated her body this way and that, touching her hair, her waist, then leaning in and saying to Zhang Mo, "At this moment, you can brush your face against her cheek," while calmly glancing at Zhou Yun’s face.
