Chapter 20 - 20: Black Hat (2) (1/2)
The current scene being shot was the couple's dispute outside of Qiao Moyu's house. At this time, Qiao Moyu grasped her sword tightly as she was about to depart, but she happened to meet Ye Peicheng who came to stop her.
The man clasped her arm with one hand, and with a dull pain within the depths of his eyes, he spoke pleadingly: ”If you carry out your revenge now, you'll only end up dying!”
She looked up in disbelief upon hearing his words: ”What do you mean?”
”Yan-er, don't be reckless. Let's think things through and make a long term plan.” Ye Peicheng urgently grasped Qiao Moyu's shoulder.
She looked up at him and fiercely retorted, ”He's my father and your teacher. How could I wait?”
Director: ”Cut!”
He frowned as he looked at Qiao Moyu and advised, ”Moyu, the man in front of you is your lover. Your father was murdered, but your lover is idly sitting by. What mood should you be in? Shouldn't there be disappointment and grief? Even pure anger?”
Qiao Moyu replied: ”I'm so sorry director, I'll try again!”
In other words, the character she played should only have one thought in mind–to absolutely kill the enemy, regardless of her own life or death!
And the man she loved actually dared to obstruct her. If she didn't have a relationship with him, she would have already attacked him and brought him down to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Moyu had a bit of understanding of how being 'lovers' would affect the character's mood.
”Good, get ready!” The deputy director instructed the cameraman to adjust the lens once again.
Qiao Moyu bowed her head without looking anywhere else. When the director shouted for them to start once again, she slowly lifted her gaze and looked directly at Ye Peicheng.
