Knowing that Eric was doing this for her good, Melissa nodded. But on second thought, she thought he
was indeed a strict man. If it weren't for her, he would be more demanding of other actresses. But it
was understandable. After all, Eric played in movies with exquisite plots, which was different from those
rough and crude TV play series. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to ask for a higher standard.
Otherwise, he would not be able to be the best actor.
Eric added, "you behaved well just now, but your expression was a little nervous, perhaps because you
hadn't acted for a long time, you are not cut and smart enough. It is not up to Lara Mu's character. You
should try to relax yourself later in the next shoot. I asked for reshoot just because I found that your
expression was not looked good. Otherwise, you would regret on TV."
Melissa nodded gratefully. Thus, Eric went back to the doorway and was about to take another shoot.
When everyone was getting ready, director Li stopped them again. All of a sudden, director Li stood up
hastily and said, "Stop! Stop! Stop, both of you! "
Melissa looked at director Li in confusion. Then director Li waved to her and Eric and said, "Come here.
I have something to tell you."
Eric had no choice but to go with Melissa. Honestly speaking, Melissa was very obedient and
teachable. Even though Eric was a famous star, he respected the directors and so he went there
without any hesitation.
But the director whined, as if he was thinking about something and didn't know what to say. "What's on
your mind?" Asked Eric.
Director Li thought for a while and said: "in fact, it's not a big deal. It's just a sudden inspiration. I want
to... If this TV play gets off with an eye-catching start, it will attract more attention."
"What are you going to do?" Asked Melissa.
Director Li smiled at them and said, "You two know what the recent news is about. They are all
guessing about the relationship between you two. And the reporters at the opening ceremony just
asked if you would kiss in the TV series. The thing I was thinking about was that we started the kiss at
the beginning. It must be more exciting than anything else. Hahaha! "
Hearing what the director had said, Melissa and Eric was stunned. They hadn't expected that director
Li would have such an idea. No wonder he was hesitating. Maybe it was not appropriate for the director
to ask Eric to act in this way. If the actor wasn't Eric, director Li would have already asked him to play
the kiss scene without asking the actor's opinion. But Eric was different and he had to show respect for
Eric, who had acted in the TV series just to show the director respect.
Frowning, Melissa didn't say anything. Eric glanced at her, so he didn't say anything either.
Director Li thought they didn't want to do it and said more, "if you two don't want to do it, we can shoot
with the lens of dislocation. But if you can post a picture which you are similar to kiss on the Internet, it
will be very crazy. I think we will get more attention."
Eric had noticed the frown on Melissa's face. Although he wasn't repulsed the kiss scene, and even
hoped, he had to respect women's opinion. Seeing the expression on her face, he knew she wasn't
happy, so he rejected, "I don't think it's necessary at all. The shot is not based on the hype, but on its
own quality. Director Li, you are a famous director, why do you want to hype with other TV series?
"But I think it would be better if we have a show of kissing..."
"Then let's begin. I have no problem. Eric, what do you think?" Unexpectedly, Melissa said yes. When
she said yes, both director Li and Eric were not in the state. They couldn't believe their ears and looked
at her in amazement.
Melissa glanced at them and said decisively, "Go ahead!"
Actually, the frown on Melissa's face's reason was that they were acting in an ancient costume drama,
not an idol show. Kissing was so erotic for the people in ancient times because they weren't so open.
They began kissing in the yard, she thought it was ridiculous. But director Li wanted to make it a hit,
and besides, she thought it was a good chance for her to have something to do with Eric and let Colin
know that, so she agreed.
Eric asked with uncertainty, "Are you for real? A kissing scene? Are you using the lens of dislocation?"
Melissa said, "No, since the director wants to hype, just do it. It's useless to do it with the lens of
dislocation. As an actress, I have to make a sacrifice for the art. Just do whatever the director tells us.
Or do you have any other opinion? " Melissa then turned to look at Eric.
Subconsciously, Eric lowered his head, touched his mouth and said, "No, no. I don't have any
objection. We can say whatever you want. We should do our job as an actor."
When the director saw that they all agreed with his idea, he immediately clapped his hands and said,
"Okay, it seems that both of you are good actors and are willing to sacrifice for the art. So that's the
deal. I will arrange a kissing scene right away." So he asked the staff there to adjust the light and
prepare the petals. Then, the romantic scene would be shown, saying that Eric and Melissa were about
to kiss.
The director's announcement created a sensation on the whole crew, including Colin and Junia who
were there watching them filming.
Crossing her arms over her chest, Junia frowned and told Colin, "Mr. Colin, did I hear it wrong? Director
Li said Eric and Melissa would have a kiss scene? Were they wanting to show off their love by using
the show, or were they really sacrificing themselves to the art? How could Melissa act in a kissing
scene like this? Shame on her!"
