HuaYu2003: This producer is a bit reckless!

Chapter 24: The innocent kissing scene, exquisitely beautiful.

To achieve a more realistic visual experience, the scenes featuring the three-eyed monkey were not filmed with special effects. Instead, a local monkey trainer was found in Sichuan Province.

The monkey was probably from Mount Emei; it was particularly unruly and almost drove the film crew to the brink of collapse.

"Squeak~!"

As soon as the monkey trainer let go, the monkey leaped onto Liu Yifei's shoulder. Fortunately, Ling Yuan swung the stick quickly, scaring the monkey away.

However, the monkey darted away and snatched the apple from Shu Chang's hand, crunching it down and splashing juice everywhere.

The camera unexpectedly captured this scene.

Ning Hao stared at the monitor and slapped his thigh: "Amazing! This is truly the work of a clever monkey stealing peaches! Keep it!"

Unfortunately, there are no people who train golden monkeys.

Otherwise, Ling Yuan would definitely invite a golden monkey to participate in the performance. It would absolutely be the Monkey King among monkeys.

……

"My clothes are all torn, you naughty monkey!" Liu Yifei said angrily.

Ling Yuan leaned closer to examine her. Her skin was as white as snow and as smooth as cream. Hmm, thankfully she wasn't injured. So he helped her tidy up and gently patted her shoulder: "It's alright, I'll sew it up for you myself later."

"You can sew clothes?" Liu Yifei chuckled.

"Of course! Who do you think designed these clothes?" Ling Yuan said with a hint of pride.

Liu Yifei: "It wouldn't be you, would it?"

"I am indeed the one who is truly talented." Ling Yuan was not bragging.

In "Jade Dynasty 1", Ling Yuan insisted on hand-sewing the costumes. He had already given instructions to start preparing the costumes three months before filming began.

In particular, the clothes of the main characters were all custom-made and hand-sewn. Ling Yuan gave extremely important guidance on the style and design.

After all, he came from the future and had over twenty years of experience, so he knew what the audience liked and disliked.

In addition, it is entirely based on Hanfu elements, but there are no centipede buttons or brocade collars.

The colors of the clothing were also varied, including pink, apricot, green mountain, white grass frost, evening blue, tortoiseshell yellow, carmine, silver white, ochre, bud green, Chinese red, and Beijing Yuan... The combinations were all pleasing to the eye, unlike the uniform white clothing in later fantasy dramas, which made people look like they were wearing mourning clothes. The Koreans would probably think we copied them.

As for the magical artifacts, in pursuit of realism and aesthetics, Ling Yuan personally oversaw their creation, forging them from pure metal—and of course, hollow ones. Solid ones would be too heavy and could easily injure someone if not handled carefully.

Ling Yuan's own "firewood stick" was the heaviest, weighing seven or eight pounds. He swung it around every day, and his arms ached every night. But the training effect was also excellent; he felt his arm strength had increased significantly.

Now she can easily lift Liu Yifei and Shu Chang at the same time.

Since it's a movie version, and it's only 120 minutes long, it needs to cover a lot of plot points, so some adaptations are inevitable.

Zhang Xiaofan's first kiss was with Lu Xueqi.

……

In Sichuan Province, there is a secluded bamboo forest.

The afterglow of the setting sun dappled through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting mottled light and shadow, and a faint fragrance of bamboo wafted in the air.

Having just finished filming a scene, Zhang Xiaofan (Ling Yuan) and Biyao (Zhao Liying) were chatting and laughing, discussing their scene together.

Liu Yifei (made up by Lu Xueqi) stood a few steps away, dressed in white, her aloofness like the moon, but her eyes were like daggers, darting in that direction. Then she gently pursed her lips and went to find Shu Chang.

Shu Chang took her arm and whispered, "Qianqian, are you jealous?" Shu Chang had just witnessed that scene.

She and Liu Yifei have been best friends for so long, they're inseparable, and they've even slept in the same bed together. How could she not know what Liu Yifei was thinking?

Liu Yifei: "No way. Don't talk nonsense."

Shu Chang chuckled and said, "If I had known, I would have fought for the role of Biyao back then. Humph, I can't stand that little vixen either."

Liu Yifei: "..."

Shu sings: "Don't you guys have a kissing scene later? Give it your all and turn the tables!"

"What? I don't know how. I was thinking of telling the director I wanted to turn this down, or use a stunt double."

"Hehe, are you willing to use a stand-in?" Shu Chang teased softly.

"Say that again and I'll break up with you!" Liu Yifei's cheeks flushed red, but the thought of having this scene made her feel a little better. At least she and Ling Yuan had a kissing scene, while Bi Yao didn't.

Well, even if there is one, it will have to wait until "Jade Dynasty 2". Ling Yuan wants to make three "Jade Dynasty" movies, like the Lord of the Rings trilogy. There might even be an extended version later.

Soon, the next scene began.

"Action!" Ning Hao's voice came through the loudspeaker.

The camera is pointed at the edge of the bamboo forest. The atmosphere changes instantly.

Ling Yuan (Zhang Xiaofan) still had a hint of a smile on his face from when he was chatting and laughing with Zhao Liying. His eyes were clear and a little naive as he looked at Liu Yifei (Lu Xueqi).

Liu Yifei (Lu Xueqi) took a deep breath, with a resolute expression and a hint of barely perceptible emotion, and stepped forward, instantly closing the distance between them to less than a foot.

She could smell the faint scent of his sweat mixed with the fresh fragrance of bamboo leaves.

Hmm? Why is there a woman's scent here? Is it from that little slut Biyao?

The air seemed to freeze.

The film set was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; all eyes were focused on this tiny space.

Zhao Liying stood by the monitor with her arms crossed, a smile still on her lips, but her eyes were already a little glazed over, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the ribbons of her costume.

Tang Yan stood a little behind, her facial expression still under control, but her eyes were fixed on the two of them like searchlights, and her lips were tightly pursed.

Shu Chang instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes wide and her cheeks flushed, extremely nervous for Liu Yifei, yet unable to resist peeking through her fingers. She was really worried that Qianqian wouldn't act well. She'd never kissed before. She should have practiced with her.

Liu Yifei (Lu Xueqi)'s lines are cold, carrying the pride of the Qingyun Sect's top disciple: "Zhang Xiaofan, the righteous and the demonic paths are different, you..."

But her eyes betrayed her, churning with complex emotions: worry, grievance, and... the uncontrollable bitterness she felt when she saw him being intimate with Biyao (Zhao Liying).

Ling Yuan (Zhang Xiaofan) was a little confused by her sudden approach and complicated gaze, and he subconsciously wanted to take a half step back.

Just as she made a movement, Liu Yifei (Lu Xueqi) seemed to be driven by an unnamed fire and impulse in her heart, or as if she wanted to prove something. Before she could finish saying that cold line, she suddenly stood on tiptoe!

Their movements were so fast that they were almost invisible.

Then, that exquisitely beautiful face, which usually carried an air of aloofness, quickly approached Ling Yuan's (Zhang Xiaofan's) face.

Without hesitation, without lingering affection.

It was just a fleeting touch, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Soft and slightly cool, with a girl's unique fragrance, it brushed against Ling Yuan's cheek like the lightest petal.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely in that single second.

A very faint "pop" sound, almost ignored by the live recording, rippled between the two.

They kissed!
