Chapter 61.1 - Letting free the inner young girl 3
Filming had been progressing for a month, and so, Tang Xiao had been flirting with girls for a month.
No matter whether they were other cast members, the girls who did her makeup, she didn’t let a single one of them go.
This made Mu Cheng’s head hurt a lot.
Tang Xiao was living happier than little Tang poem in game.
The preview for the first episode had been published and spread around.
It was only a small project with no real budget.
The biggest actress was Tang Xiao so the previous advertising was a total waste of time.
Tang Xiao shared it on her weibo, Mu Cheng shared it on his weibo too.
Their fans then got excited over a bit, but they didn’t even make the headlines.
After the preview had been broadcast, there were only barely 10,000 views.
It hung pitifully on the page.
The director grit his teeth and forged on.
Not too long later, the first episode was broadcast online.
The views were pretty average and a gloomy cloud cast over the crew.
“Then, why don’t I cut a bit of the script and we can finish earlier?” The scriptwriter suggested.
The director didn’t even think about it before rejecting her. “Tang Xiao’s very good, she’ll definitely get popular. This is only the first episode. We didn’t have money to do good advertising before broadcasting the episode so the amount of views is expected. When the second episode is broadcast, I’ll go talk to our sponsors.”
Maybe it was because the first episode’s views were too tragic, the director purposely added a chicken drumstick to everyone’s boxed lunch.
“Let’s do something explosive!” The director slapped the producer’s thigh, as he spoke to the scriptwriter.
“Today, audience’s like watching something exciting. When you get back, add some kissing scenes between the male and female lead.”
Mu Cheng: …….
“Tang Xiao, you’re probably missing a body double, right?” Mu Cheng suddenly spoke, his eyes turning to face Tang Xiao.
The director, producer and scriptwriter all stopped and thought about what he just said.
They didn’t even have enough money to pay for pa.s.ser-bys, how could they pay for a body double?
Actually, the thing they didn’t have enough of was money.
After Mu Cheng decided to be perverted to pay back Tang Xiao for being perverted, Tang Xiao grew overly cautious.
This time, Tang Xiao’s mind spun around twice before immediately realising what Mu Cheng meant.
Mu Cheng wanted a body double for the kissing scene, ah.
Firstly, let’s not say whether there should be a body double for Tang Xiao or Song Liangzhe, just thinking about a body double made the director, producer and scriptwriter nearly want to faint.
“We …” The director wanted to say something.
Tang Xiao quickly cut himoff, scared that Mu Cheng would suggest himself as the body double for her kissing scene.
That would probably scare the director to death.
“With the kissing scene, I feel like the audience might be more interested in seeing the male lead and the 2nd male lead kissing.”
Song Liangzhe: ……
“En? This is okay.” The director thought this was a good idea.
Song Liangzhe: ……
Mu Cheng was satisfied as he rubbed her head.
Tang Xiao let out a sigh of relief, her face apologetic as she looked towards Song Liangzhe.
Just as she was about to loosen up, the director said something that made her heart tighten up again.
“Right, little Song, I remember you liked exercising during school.” The director swept his body up and down, his eyes lighting up.
Song Liangzhe nodded his head.
“Strip then.”
Song Liangzhe: ……
Tang Xiao: …… ?? …. Strip … strip …. Strip what????
“Sorry … I think in broad daylight, doing that, isn’t right. Why don’t you two find a room? I definitely won’t say anything. Right, director, when you do something like that, remember to ask for consent from little Song. What if little Song doesn’t agree, there’s no point in forcing it.” Tang Xiao’s imagination was going into overdrive.
How could you say nothing and suddenly tell someone to strip!
What are you going to do, making them strip off their clothes!!!!!!
The director looked at her strangely. “Why is this wrong? It’s just taking off your clothes. I want to see your muscles. Turn around, let me see your b.u.t.t.”
Song Liangzhe: ……
Tang Xiao: ….. Why are you looking at his b.u.t.t!!!!!
The way that Tang Xiao looked at the director, grew strange.
Song Liangzhe still followed the director’s instructions.
His whole body was a slightly tan shade, his muscles were tight and just right, not too big.
The director looked at him appreciatively, and immediately had a thought.
Tang Xiao had carelessly given him a good idea and now he was latching onto it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he grabbed the script writer and went off to have a discussion with her.
“Little Song, don’t give in!” Tang Xiao hit down on his shoulder hard.
Mu Cheng: ……
Song Liangzhe: ??????
“Don’t mess around, I’ll help you practise your lines.” Mu Cheng dragged her away with him.
Even if the results were mild, the whole crew was still working hard.
One episode a week, and they had to constantly update the script.
The whole crew was incredibly busy.
When the second episode was about to be broadcast, the director changed a few scenes.
Re-shooting those scenes took a day and they only barely made it to the Thursday broadcast date.
When the second episode was updated, because of Mu Cheng’s fans, the results were slightly better.
A few of Mu Cheng and Tang Xiao’s fans expressed interest in the drama, they were excited for it.
Tang Xiao had already not touched a computer in a long time.
Nearly everyday, when she got home, she’d drop straight into her bed and sleep.
So the result of that was every day, she worked well.
But it was this upwards facing face that happened to trend on weibo.
