Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 2375: Chapter 2374: Not Filming Anymore

"A body double?" Director Liu frowned and immediately dismissed the idea, "No, my film won’t use a double."

After saying that, he looked directly at Alvin and asked, "If a double is needed, should we also use a double for your intimate scenes with Xiaolin?"

Alvin: "..."

"Director Liu, Xiaolin and I are dating. You know about this, yet you’re still doing this? What do you mean by that?" Alvin was somewhat angry.

This was clearly very inappropriate!

"I don’t mean anything." Director Liu firmly maintained his stance, "First of all, Xiaolin is an actor, started as a child star, has won numerous awards, and her acting skills are commendable. Making sacrifices in films is the most basic professional ethic an actor should have. You should respect her and her profession since you are dating Xiaolin. Kissing scenes are something every actor experiences; it’s a normal thing.

So according to your reasoning, just because Xiaolin is in a relationship with you, she can only act in intimate scenes with you and not with any other actor?"

Director Liu’s words left Alvin speechless, unable to find a reason to argue back.

At this moment, Nangong Lin spoke up, "Director Liu, what you said makes sense, and I respect your view on this. However, I would like to say that I, Nangong Lin, am an exception in the entertainment industry. Throughout my career, I’ve never done overly intimate scenes or passionate scenes. If the plot truly demands it, we generally use a double or camera angles. This has been my principle throughout my career.

I don’t believe a good film needs these elements to hold it together. A kiss isn’t necessary to express love. A good film shouldn’t lose an ounce of its charm even without any kissing or passionate scenes!"

Nangong Lin’s words also made sense, and Director Liu found himself unable to respond immediately.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "But this film is centered around romantic relationships. What would it be without any intimate scenes? How should the love be expressed? You must realize that the female lead initially loves the scientist deeply, but due to his obsession with work, she eventually changes her heart. You only have intimate scenes with the robot and not with the scientist, what sense does that make?"

Both sides had valid points, and it was genuinely hard to determine who was right or wrong at that moment.

At this point, Zheng Huayu arrived and straightforwardly suggested, "How about using camera angles?"

After all, using camera angles in films is not unheard of.

"No." Director Liu dismissed the idea, "It’s a very tender kiss. How would you fake it? With a back view?"

"Then we won’t shoot it." Alvin was fuming and declared, "We won’t film this. You decide the penalty fee, go hire someone else for the shoot!"

Director Liu was taken aback and then slightly displeased, "Prince Alvin, this is irresponsible. Promotional photos have been released, audiences are eagerly anticipating the collaboration of you three stars, and now you say you won’t shoot?"

"If you insist, what can I do?" Alvin also said, "You said it yourself, I’m a prince. Xiaolin is now my girlfriend, the future princess. You’re making her kiss another male actor in the film while I watch from the side? It’s inappropriate in every way. If Xiaolin becomes a princess, how many people would criticize this scene? I agree with Xiaolin’s point of view, a good film doesn’t necessarily need intimacy and passion!"

"This..." Director Liu looked very troubled.

"So, if you insist, we won’t shoot!" Angrily, Alvin slammed the script on the table and, taking Nangong Lin by the hand, left.
