Chapter 59: Qi Hui Is Not as Good as Hong Shixian (Please Collect and Recommend)

What is this?

Pretending to act but doing it for real?

A thought flashed through Qi Hui's mind; this thing is not easy to take, he must return it to her in public.

Otherwise, trouble will be endless!

"Cut!" Director Lin shouted: "Qi Hui, why did you zone out?"

He was acting so well just now; he thought they could get it in one take.

But now, it's almost the end, and yet a mistake still happened?

Qi Hui has never made this kind of mistake before; what is going on here?

"Sorry, Director, my fault." Qi Hui coughed lightly and raised his hand to apologize.

Li Caihua smiled and said nothing.

"Continue," Director Lin called out: "That last shot, prepare to start over."

"Okay!"

"Camera crew, reset. Actors, get ready."

"3, 2, 1, action..."

"..."

The final few shots were very easy; Hong Shixian ultimately could not resist the temptation and accepted the room key sent by Ai Li.

However, just as Hong Shixian and Ai Li were about to kiss, they were interrupted by Hong's father and Gao Wenyan.

Hong's father and Gao Wenyan walked into Hong Shixian's office, wanting to introduce Hong Shixian to Gao Wenyan.

Of course, the shot of Hong's father and Gao Wenyan entering had already been filmed; it would just be edited in later.

Qi Hui and Li Caihua only needed to film the shot of the kiss failing, followed by the startled retreat.

However, when filming the shot where the kiss didn't happen, Li Caihua launched a surprise attack; Qi Hui didn't react in time and got sneak-kissed by her.

Qi Hui glared at her, then pulled Ai Li behind the office screen according to the original filming plan.

"Hmm? Interesting..." Director Lin replayed the previous shot, feeling that Qi Hui and Li Caihua's reactions were authentic and amusing.

Although this shot wasn't in the script, perhaps... it wasn't bad.

After thinking it over, Director Lin didn't call cut but let them continue.

Of course, it couldn't end there; at Director Lin's request, the two filmed another shot according to the script. This time it was a normal take, and Li Caihua didn't launch a surprise attack.

Director Lin decided to compare these two shots first before deciding which one to use.

Filming ended quickly; everyone was packing up their own equipment. Qi Hui rolled his eyes and called out to Li Caihua:

"Caihua, this is a prop; help me return it to the props department."

Saying this, he flicked his arm and threw the room key she had just given him back at Li Caihua.

Li Caihua was stunned for a moment and instinctively raised her hand to catch it.

But when she realized it was the room key she had given out, she couldn't help but grind her teeth in anger.

"Tsk... a cowardly man," Li Caihua clenched her fist angrily, wanting to hit someone: "He's not even as good as Hong Shixian in the script!"

On the other side, Qi Hui had already walked to another place with Lei Da's head to smoke.

She wanted to chase after them, but after thinking it over, she didn't move.

She wasn't as shameless as Ai Li in the script.

"Hmph... wait for the next kissing scene, let's see how you run!" Li Caihua rolled her eyes and thought to herself.

"Old Lei, there's a bed scene next; you have to keep an eye on things." Qi Hui said while smoking a Chunghwa.

Li Caihua's surprise attack just now made him uneasy; could this woman actually mean it?

What if she tries to pretend to act but do it for real again?

"Haha... cough, cough, don't worry." Lei Jiayin laughed loudly; Qi Hui really looked wretched, even more so than when he got beaten last time.

But seeing Qi Hui's expression, he quickly stopped smiling: "Don't worry, I'm here. Can that woman turn the sky upside down?"

He patted his chest, making a loud slapping sound.

Qi Hui extinguished the cigarette in his hand, took out chewing gum and started chewing, casually handing some to Lei Jiayin.

"Quitting smoking?" Lei Jiayin asked with interest.

"There's a kissing scene next." Qi Hui said irritably.

The next scene not only has a bed scene but also a kissing scene; it's extremely troublesome.

Actually, the previous scene had one too; the scene just now was the prelude to the fight scene between Qi Hui and Lei Jiayin.

Originally, Hong Shixian and Ai Li should have secretly kissed behind the office screen, but Director Lin felt this shot didn't need to be filmed for now, so he didn't require it.

They would film it after a few scenes, once Qi Hui and Li Caihua were more familiar with each other.

The next scene isn't a real kissing scene either; according to Director Lin's plan, there will be misalignment and blurring, so they don't necessarily need to actually kiss.

The bed scene is the same; both are wearing bathrobes, nothing is exposed, they just hug and talk.

There are no restricted scenes.

But since Li Caihua launched a surprise attack just now, Qi Hui felt she might not let him off so easily.

"Tsk..." Hearing this, Lei Jiayin also felt a toothache: "Didn't you reject her?"

"I rejected her." Qi Hui said irritably: "Very direct and very ruthless."

Lei Jiayin couldn't help but sigh: "Then she really is like Ai Li..."

In the play, Ai Li kept pestering Hong Shixian like this.

Hong Shixian subjectively had no intention of cheating, but he was tempted by Ai Li and couldn't control himself; the final result was a broken marriage and a family in total chaos.

Soon, Director Lin called out — Qi Hui's scene needed to continue filming.

The next scene was Hong Shixian going on a trip with his wife Lin Pinru, and then Aili tagging along as well.

Not going in, but deliberately trying to seduce Hong Shixian. Hong Shixian, wanting to warn her, sought out Aili alone.

And then...

Those who know, know.

Qi Hui finished cleaning up the chewing gum and headed over right away — today's shooting schedule was no light task.

Seeing this, Lei Jiayin followed along, and they soon arrived at the hotel room set.

In this scene, Hong Shixian's emotion toward Aili was actually anger, because the scene right before this one was Hong Shixian catching Aili and his Lin Yide cuddling.

That's right — it was the very scene Lei Jiayin had filmed with Li Caihua earlier.

So Hong Shixian was very unhappy. Because of this, he also wanted to rein himself in, stop paying Aili any mind, and truly have a child with his wife.

But unfortunately — once he stepped into Aili's room, could Hong Shixian still get out?

"..."

"... Do you have any idea what it felt like seeing you with him?" Hong Shixian sat on the hotel sofa, his face full of impatience as he said: "I'll tell you — I'm pissed off!"

"Then... are you jealous?" Aili teased the collar of Hong Shixian's shirt with her finger, smiling as she looked at his strong, solid chest.

"Jealous? Heh, I don't have that kind of mood."

"Then let me ask you — do you love me or not?"

"I don't!" Hong Shixian said, decisive and without the slightest hesitation: "You don't love me, so why should I love you?"

Like a sulking child, Hong Shixian said resentfully.

"Hong Shixian, stop pretending." Aili smiled smugly: "I know the more you're like this, the more you love me!"

Hong Shixian gave a contemptuous snort, utterly dismissive.

After Aili finished speaking, she threw herself at him and bent down to kiss him.

The cameraman shifted his feet, pulling the camera back, simultaneously adjusting the focal length to blur the two embracing figures.

At this point, this shot was done.

But Li Caihua, holding onto Qi Hui, showed no sign of letting go right away.

Lei Jiayin's mouth twitched. He strode over quickly, only to find that Li Caihua was serious — her tongue had even gone in.

"Ahem!" Lei Jiayin coughed hard and forcefully.

Li Caihua paused, but still showed no sign of letting go.

Qi Hui didn't bother being polite with her — he reached out a hand, propped directly under her chin, shoved hard, then pressed on her neck and pushed her away.

Li Caihua glared at Lei Jiayin, a little annoyed.

Qi Hui, on the other hand, decisively got up and left together with Lei Jiayin.

Behind the monitor, Director Lin watched this scene, his brow lifting slightly — they'd just done it for real just now... were these two that close already?

Then it seemed the shooting schedule could be sped up.

In the hallway, the two walked side by side outward.

Qi Hui couldn't help but touch his lips — there was still a faint trace of lipstick left on them.

Beside him, Lei Jiayin's expression turned teasing, and he chuckled: "Old Qi, how did it feel?"

Moist... Qi Hui gave a light cough, kept a straight face, and huffed: "Shut your mouth!"
