Do you know what an actor faces while filming a heartfelt close-up for Scene 85?
A camera and a crew of people with deadpan expressions.
It's so tough. You can't help but admire how convincingly the actor conveys the emotion.
The room is bright with sunshine, while outside it might be pouring rain.
Thanks to the lighting crew.
The editor cuts until their fingers cramp, and the sound technician builds up their biceps.
You can't imagine all the positions the camera operator gets into, and you can't guess what the scene outside the frame looks like.
The wirework crew pulls the ropes with all their might, while the martial arts performers spin 360 degrees in midair and throw themselves to the ground.
The camera won't show us how hard everyone worked, but it will show us the result. Every classic work is born from the efforts of so many people...
- Sentimental breakdown line -
A gentle lion of an actor seme x a good-natured sheep of a script supervisor uke. One-on-one, pure sweetness. Also known as A Record of Ren Wan's Flirting. Come meet this warm and gentle seme.
Xu Wan, how have you managed to stay single for 26 years? Ren Yuming, why did you have to misunderstand him the moment you showed up? Can you stop and think about the reason?
Please, hurry up and realize this isn't how good friends are supposed to act! Best buddies don't pretend nothing happened!
A story about someone who realizes a little too late that he's gay, but first helps someone else come out of the closet.
Xu Wan: "Director, are you sure you want me to cuddle up with the second male lead and pretend to be petite, disguised as the second female lead?"
Director Luo: "Just make sure your face doesn't show."
Ren Yuming, playing the second male lead: "Don't move around."
Xu Wan: "You're holding me too tight. I can't breathe."
Director Luo's inner monologue: I told you to look after him. How did you end up looking after yourself right into his arms?
Everyone is welcome to leave comments and discuss. I'm far removed from the film set, so I can only make up the details. There are bound to be mistakes... Please don't tear me apart.
