How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 89 Youthful Vigor

Wang Xiaohao plans to transplant this into his film.

This becomes the key scene where the male lead falls in love with the female lead!

Following the original drama's plot, the male and female leads meet by chance and end up living in the same house.

The male lead looks down on the female lead, thinking she's crazy and doesn't understand anything.

The female lead, feeling resentful, deliberately staged a scene to seduce the male lead. And it actually made him fall for her!

Although the movie repeatedly claims that the male lead is an alien, Wang Xiaohao actually designed the male lead's character to resemble an ancient scholar.

There's no way around it; aliens are easier to get approved.

If you turn the male lead into some kind of old monster, ghost, or immortal, then it's hard to say!

However, in reality, Wang Xiaohao set the male protagonist as a scholar and a Taoist priest.

Even when faced with the allure of a woman, he would appear to be calmly practicing calligraphy, but in reality, he was copying the Qingjing Jing (a Buddhist scripture).

This entire plot is a complete imitation of the Green Snake's seduction of Fahai.

However, it wasn't in the pool, but in a dark room.

The male protagonist calmly picked up his pen and copied the Qingjing Jing (a Buddhist scripture) at the desk, each stroke falling onto the white paper.

The alluring female lead flirts with the male lead in various ways.

The male protagonist's writing also gradually began to tremble and become distorted, starting from being steady and even.

When the male protagonist finally succumbed to his temptations and broke down, the words he wrote turned into ink blots. The female protagonist laughed heartily and left triumphantly.

All that's left is the male protagonist's anger and embarrassment!

The entire process should be filmed in a way that is sensual but not lewd, alluring but not seductive!

This wasn't too difficult for Zhen Liang.

However, it was extremely difficult for Wu Yu, who played the male lead!

For a young man who had never acted before, filming such a challenging scene right from the start was a real test.

Actually, this scene doesn't require too much from the male lead.

The focus is all on the female lead.

The male lead just needs to keep a stern face.

All psychological activities are expressed through the calligraphy written with a brush.

He didn't need to write these calligraphy characters himself; they could be edited using montage in post-production.

It's not difficult to explain!

However, Wu Yu was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, full of youthful vigor.

He was a complete newbie who had just left the beginner village and encountered a top-tier succubus!

Several times, halfway through filming, I would get teased until I blushed.

Naturally, filming couldn't continue!

Later, Wang Xiaohao had to find a way to put a block of ice in his arms.

The coldness of the ice will keep him alert at all times.

The photos turned out surprisingly well!

Because the ice was so cold, after a while, Wu Yu's body began to tremble slightly. Perfectly suited to the scene!

As a result, they managed to film the most difficult scene in the entire "My Love from the Star" series.

That's right, this time when Wang Xiaohao was filming "My Love from the Star," he didn't start from the very beginning.

Instead, they immediately filmed the most difficult scene: the female lead seducing the male lead.

Because Wu Yu is not a professional actor, if he films simple scenes first, he can wait until he and Zhen Liang become familiar with each other.

On the contrary, it is difficult to capture the initial state of unfamiliarity and mutual dislike between the two.

Moreover, Wu Yu is also one of their own artists and Zhao Liang's nephew.

Wang Xiaohao can't just kill without burying, or just make films without considering the artists' mental state.

A beautiful woman like Zhen Liang, with her captivating charm, is most alluring to a young man like Wu Yu.

Wang Xiaohao didn't want to let the filming of a scene gradually lead this kid into an unrequited love he couldn't extricate himself from!

So let's come up first and take some photos of the sexy and glamorous woman while we're still getting used to her!

After Wu Yu finished filming his scenes, Wang Xiaohao continued filming Zhen Liang's scenes.

Naturally, more of these kinds of benefits should be filmed so that a wider audience can see them, which is also a good way to earn box office revenue.

Of course, there is an even more important purpose: to pass the censorship.

Shooting more footage gives you room to cut it out during post-production review.

Otherwise, you film the film so thoroughly that there is no room for censorship to intervene.

Wouldn't people then nitpick?

It would be better to just come up with some obvious excuses and let the censors cut them out!

These are techniques that Wang Xiaohao learned during the production of "Beautiful Legend"!

In the original Chinese version of "Beautiful Legend," Wang Xiaohao cut the sex scenes too much.

The result was still that it was blocked by the review!

Now Wang Xiaohao has become shrewd; he'll do something overt so you can delete it.

In the end, I can still keep something for myself.

Furthermore, after this scene was filmed, Zhen Liang was very dissatisfied and gave Wang Xiaohao a cold shoulder!

Because Wang Xiaohao felt that her legs and feet were not pretty enough, he actually found a professional leg model to be her stand-in.

This hurt Zhen Liang deeply, and she hasn't given Wang Xiaohao a kind look lately!

However, Wang Xiaohao didn't care at all.

Movies are essentially magic tricks involving light and shadow.

In Wang Xiaohao's mind, everything should be the best and the most beautiful, not the most authentic!

Although Zhen Liang is beautiful, she doesn't like to exercise. Her legs are nice, but ultimately lack something.

That's why Wang Xiaohao needed to find someone to be her leg model double.

In fact, the most Wang Xiaohao could film was limited to this. It was just patting her face, collarbone, and legs.

Any more than that, and it would exceed the limit. Forget about being erotic without being obscene; it probably wouldn't even pass censorship.

After filming the most difficult romantic scene, the rest of the filming of "My Love from the Star" went much more smoothly.

Wang Xiaohao then spent more than a month rushing to finish filming all the other scenes.

Then he took the crew to Europe to attend the Palme d'Or awards ceremony.

Before the official awards ceremony, Wang Xiaohao was given more than half an hour to complete the filming.

It was simply a matter of Zhen Liang making a stunning appearance in a gown. Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, she finally won the Palme d'Or for Best Actress.

The moment she received the trophy, she suddenly ran out of the awards ceremony hall without a care in the world and rushed out to find the male lead!

There wasn't much content, so it was easy to film.

The audience, who had already secured their dominance, and the crew members who came to accept the awards, were all quite cooperative in completing this small shoot.

Most people find this quite novel; they never imagined that one day they would be sitting at the Palme d'Or awards ceremony and actually become a background extra in a movie. It's quite a pleasant surprise!

The Palme d'Or organizers were quite interested in the film that was shot at their awards ceremony and even gave it a special recognition award.

Even though the movie isn't finished yet!

However, this special attention award is almost the same as the "buy one get one free" award; it's just a consolation prize.

It's mainly the Palme d'Or organizers who are just trying to have some fun!

With GM's efforts, most media reports on this matter were quite positive, considering it a good story!
