Chinese entertainment starts with idols

Chapter 10: What's it like to film a kissing scene with your best friend's ex-boyfriend?

The main actors in "Meteor Shower" are all young people. In just a couple of days, Lin Feng got to know everyone. Except for Zhang Han, who was still a bit hostile, he didn't linger around.

Of course, for some reason, Deng Shuang always seemed a little shy when facing Lin Feng. What's even more frustrating is that the two had to film a kissing scene on the third day of filming.

Although Lin Feng had anticipated the kissing scene, he initially thought it would be a simple, camera trick, and that a real kiss wouldn't be necessary.

But the director insisted on making it real, demanding a real kiss. "Boss, this is an idol drama, we're all here for the kissing scenes, are you suggesting we fake it?!"

Not only was Lin Feng unprepared, but Deng Shuang was also completely stiff, like a piece of wood. The two separated with the slightest touch, so the effect was naturally not good.

The director yelled "Cut!" and lashed out at Deng Shuang, saying, "Sister, were you raped?"

Seeing that Deng Shuang was on the verge of tears, Lin Feng stepped in to ease the tension, "Director, it's my fault, I forgot to brush my teeth this morning!"

The director was amused and said, "Lin Feng, your acting is pretty good. You can teach Deng Shuang when you have time. Practice more in private! You have five minutes."

To help Deng Shuang relax as soon as possible, Lin Feng took the initiative to chat with her. This was the first time Lin Feng had taken the initiative to chat with her; previously, they had each been acting their own thing.

"Xiao Shuang, what's wrong? I brushed my teeth. Is there a problem with kissing? It's a requirement of our profession. You need to learn to adjust quickly." Lin Feng offered a few more words of advice, also to help with filming the scene well.

Deng Shuang knew Lin Feng, except because he was her best friend Kan Qingzi's boyfriend—well, now her ex-boyfriend.

She often heard Kan Qingzi talk about Lin Feng in the dormitory, and even comforted Kan Qingzi several times when the two had conflicts. Therefore, she knew Lin Feng very well.

Especially on the day Lin Feng and Kan Qingzi broke up, Deng Shuang had never seen Kan Qingzi cry so sadly before. She cried all night long. She was just reluctant to part with him and didn't say a bad word about Lin Feng.

In fact, Deng Shuang knew about Lin Feng a long time ago. He helped her carry her luggage on her first day of school, but he probably forgot. The tall and handsome Lin Feng left a deep impression on her.

This time, the two were in the same agency and the same production team, and they were even the male and female leads in a romantic relationship. Deng Shuang had a strange feeling of both fate and betrayal of her best friend, so she never dared to face Lin Feng.

What does kissing feel like?

What does it feel like to kiss a handsome guy?

What's it like to film a kissing scene with your best friend's ex-boyfriend?

The feeling was so intense. Even though it was just a light touch, the tingling sensation was like an electric current coursing through her body. Deng Shuang's brain went blank, which caused her to stiffen up.

Moreover, Lin Feng was standing right beside her at that moment, and this was the first time he had taken the initiative to show concern. Deng Shuang understood why Kan Qingzi liked Lin Feng so much—he was handsome, charming, and considerate. She also asked a question she had always wanted to ask:

"Yes, I understand. I'll adjust my acting. Lin Feng, can I ask you a question? Why did you break up with Kan Qingzi?"

"We broke up? There's no reason, we just weren't compatible anymore, we lost feelings for each other, and then we broke up."

"Will you two get back together in the future? Actually, Haruko really likes you."

"No, do you think this is child's play? You can't just miss it and forget about it."

"Really! What kind of girl do you like, or do you like a girl like Chu Yuxun?" Deng Shuang asked for some reason.

"I don't know, maybe. You're still young and don't understand. Feelings are unpredictable; it's just about meeting the right person at the right time."

Deng Shuang is the youngest student in the history of the Beijing Film Academy (excluding international students). She was admitted to the Performance Department at the age of 16. Lin Feng only treated her like a little sister, so it's unusual for him to talk to her so much.

After saying all that, Deng Shuang adjusted herself, and the reshoot went much more smoothly. Deng Shuang kissed very well and with great feeling, her eyes were even sparkling with Lin Feng. The director was very satisfied, and the actual shoot went smoothly in one take.

This was not only Raymond Lam's "first on-screen kiss," but also Deng Shuang's first kiss; both of them made quite a sacrifice.

After that, the two became more familiar with each other and developed a better understanding, making filming go more smoothly. In addition, the two, as the male and female leads, had many scenes together, and they often spent time together even when rehearsing or eating.

Or to be more precise, it was Deng Shuang who actively and deliberately created the situation where the two of them were often together.

However, after spending time together, Lin Feng noticed that Deng Shuang's feelings for him were different. Not only was her love for him deep in the drama, but she also had that same watery look in her eyes in real life.

The key point is that Lin Feng can't say anything yet, since Deng Shuang is just "looking" and hasn't expressed any other meaning. After all, everyone's careers are just starting out, and they can distinguish what's important.

The only one who was unhappy was probably Zhang Han. He seemed to hate Lin Feng even more than before, which left Lin Feng a bit confused. He didn't know what he had done to offend Zhang Han again, but he still didn't want to mess with him.

One hot day, Lin Feng had just finished filming when Deng Shuang handed him a glass of mineral water. Without thinking much of it, Lin Feng took it and drank it.

Before Lin Feng could even take a few sips, Zhang Han snatched it away, saying, "This is mineral water I gave to Deng Shuang, not for you to drink."

Then Lin Feng looked at Zhang Han next to him, and then at Deng Shuang filming in the distance. He was speechless. It seemed that he had fallen into a "love triangle" relationship!

But something's not right. In her past life, Deng Shuang was willing to get plastic surgery for Zhang Han, but now it seems like the opposite is true. Zhang Han is fighting for water for love. Could it be that feelings really are related to the order of appearance? I can't understand it.

Lin Feng teased Zhang Han, "Zhang Han, do you like Deng Shuang?"

"Ah! Don't talk nonsense. Deng Shuang and I are just ordinary friends. Don't talk nonsense. I don't like Deng Shuang at all!" Zhang Han panicked.

"Oh! In that case, I'll just tell Deng Shuang directly that Zhang Han has no feelings for her at all, and that she shouldn't overthink it." Lin Feng's slight threat made Zhang Han even more flustered.

"No, no! I do like her, but I feel like she doesn't like me and likes you more! Do you have any way to make her fall in love with me?" Zhang Han didn't know what he was thinking, but he wanted Lin Feng, his "love rival," to help him come up with a plan.

Why should I tell you! Lin Feng looked at Zhang Han's eager yet somewhat ingratiating expression, and casually said a few words to dismiss him:

"How can I put it when it comes to relationships? Besides, girls generally like handsome men with careers, and those two points are always true."

Hmm, Zhang Han thought about it and agreed. Why did Deng Shuang prefer Lin Feng? Wasn't it because Lin Feng was more handsome? Apart from that, what else did he lack? Did he have to get some cosmetic surgery or something?

Lin Feng didn't know what Zhang Han was thinking, but in the days that followed, Zhang Han's attitude towards him improved significantly.

However, whether Zhang Han is good or bad has nothing to do with Lin Feng. He is still not happy. His only problem now is that Deng Shuang is too good to him.
