After Shen Liangchuan filmed a few scenes, it was time to film the scene in which Xiao Qiao tripped and was saved by Zhou Yu.

Best Actor Shen had never liked close physical contact with women. Hence at this point, the double was called in.

Shen Liangchuan was waiting to discuss with the director which might be the best way to embrace her, when the director pointed at a man who was hovering around Qiao Lian. “Best Actor Shen, this is your double. He will be doing the intimate scenes that follow.”

“Don’t worry, those two have been getting to know each other since this morning, so the segments we’ll be filming won’t be too poorly done! After that, we can film a few close-ups of you and that will sort things out. Errr… Best Actor Shen, do… you have any advice for us?”

As the director spoke, he noticed Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkening, hence he immediately sealed his mouth nervously.

Shen Liangchuan’s gaze, on the other hand, fell on Qiao Lian, who was chatting and laughing with the double.

Ah!

He had been wondering about this guy, who had been hovering around Qiao Lian since early in the morning. It turned out he was the double!

All he had been looking forward to was filming these intimate scenes and being close to Qiao Lian. And now they had found him a double?

Shen Liangchuan was livid, enraged and embarrassed into anger.

He said immediately, “There’s no need for the double.”

The director was stunned. “What? What then?”

Shen Liangchuan shot him a dirty look and said, “That double looks too ugly.”

The director stammered, “But… we’ll only shoot his back, not his face.”

“Oh. He’s a bit of a hunchback.”

Hunchback?

“Is he?”

The director looked across the room. That guy had a posture as straight as anything, he had used to be a military officer.

Best Actor Shen lowered his gaze indifferently and insisted, “He is. Look carefully.”

The director said uncertainly now, “… Maybe, perhaps, it seems he is just a little?”

“Uh huh. So we can’t use him.”

“Well then, we’ll look for a new person for you?” the director offered.

“Today’s segment… Isn’t it terribly urgent?”

The director was suddenly at a loss and replied, “We- we have a month?”

They had nothing but time.

This was an advertisement and the end product would be in total twenty minutes long. A month to film was more than enough.

“Are you saying we can waste time just because we have a month?”

The director fell silent.

You wanted to replace the makeup artist yesterday and that’s what we did. That took time too, didn’t it?

So what is the hurry now?

But of course, he didn’t dare say these thoughts out loud.

He could only say falteringly, “So- so- what should we do?”

Shen Liangchuan sighed and replied, “We won’t be able to find a suitable double with such short notice. Since that’s the case, I’ll film these scenes myself.”

Oh, that look of great reluctance.

Immediately, the director bowed his head and said, “We’ll have to trouble you then!”

His expression was full of gratitude.

One had to understand that, right from the onset of his career, Best Actor Shen had never had to do the intimate scenes himself.

And he was actually going to do this for the first time in their advertisement! This was great publicity in itself.

The director’s eyes lit up. “Best Actor Shen, you are certainly our crew’s lucky star! Nothing would beat having you act in these segments yourself. Nevertheless, we will start looking for a new double for you immediately. Today’s scenes are not that intimate. There is a bedroom scene the day after tomorrow and we’ll find you a suitable double by then, for sure!”

Shen Liangchuan replied, “… No hurry, take your time in looking.”

How could they not hurry?

Best Actor Shen was just giving them face by saying there was no hurry.

But it wouldn’t be good to overstep their boundaries. Hence, they had to find that perfect double as soon as possible.
