It was necessary to take close-up shots for this climax . Their every expression – his shock and her nervousness – would need to be shown fully through these close-up shots .

Unless the stand-in looked identical to Yun Shishi, how would it be possible to complete this take?!

This was making things difficult for him without a doubt . It was akin to telling him to find two pieces of identical leaves . How was that even possible?

On top of that, a stand-in would remain as only a stand-in . This tactic might work for distant shots, but the audience could easily expose a stand-in close-up .

In the end, Lin Fengtian decided to take a risk . He would secretly complete this segment with the two leads behind Mu Yazhe"s back .

The director"s pursuit of his art had become a kind of obsession .

The backdrop was finally set up .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

Yun Shishi sat in front of the piano and tapped lightly on its keys .

Ding ding dong dong… A string of light-hearted piano melody flowed at the tapping of her fingers .

She was only using her right hand to play without the chord charts . Romance was in the air as the beautiful melody complemented the peaceful night .

Gu Xingze, who was standing behind her while drinking his coffee, blurted out, “The way you hit the notes isn"t right . ”

She looked up at him with a little smile . “Eh! I only learned to play the piano much later, so I my basic foundation"s incomplete . That"s why I find it difficult to play the keys correctly now . ”

When she was younger, her father had sent her to a few enrichment cla.s.ses, but she was learning the violin then . Afterward, in university, she switched to piano specialty .

Foundation and finger work, which required a head start at a young age, were basics to playing good piano . As such, while her playing skills could fool any layman, to a professional like Gu Xingze, her standard was considered as average .

He sat beside her and demonstrated the finger work again . “You should play the piece this way . The song sounded patchy with the way you played it earlier . ”

“Eh—”

He went ahead and corrected the way she held her hand as well . “When you play the piano, you need to curl your hand like you hold an egg in it…”

He then showed her the correct hand shape .

“Er… You seem so skilled . ” She chuckled .

He gave her a wry smile . “Shishi, my protégé, I"ve been playing the piano for 24 years now . How can I not be skilled at it?”

“Wow . You"re amazing!” she complimented sincerely . “You are so alike with the male protagonist in the novel . You two are piano princes . I always feel that men who know how to play the piano are elegant . ”

He showed a rare warm smile . “Oh, really?”

The two went into character before the actual filming, where the man was patiently imparting his knowledge of the piano to the woman .

The cameraman quickly recorded this loving scene, intending to post it as a movie teaser on Weibo sometime later .

Lin Fengtian, who was reading the script as he kept an eye on the two, heartily commented, “This is exactly the kind of feel I want for this scene!”

He was pleased and relieved with his choice!

Yun Shishi might be a rookie, but since they started filming, her bad takes were few and far between .

It might be due to her being closely attuned to her character or having a flair for acting . Still, her innate inclination to acting was one worthy of praise, even from someone as critical as him!

It was incredible to meet such a newcomer who had talent, presence, looks, and nice temperament!

He took the script and came up to the two . He then went through his requirements, such as the expression, eye contact, and other minute details, with them .

“All right . Everyone, back to your positions and be on standby!”
