Chapter 37
The Great "Tongxinweimin" CP Plan
"What about Oda?"
"I think Xiaotian is a pretty good person. He's cute, well-behaved, and has a good temper..." Li Yitong said.
"Good temper?" Li Han glanced at Li Yitong and couldn't help but smile. Xiao Tian was definitely a tyrannical mother from Sichuan and Chongqing. She used to chase after me and beat me up.
"Is there a problem?" Li Yitong asked, puzzled.
"No, there's no problem." Li Han shook his head and smiled.
"Sis, don't worry, I can definitely handle my personal life... If you really can't, you can help me out."
"How can I help you share the burden?" Upon hearing this, Li Yitong couldn't help but laugh. You want me to share this burden for you?
"Sister." Li Han looked around and then leaned in front of Li Yitong in a mysterious manner.
"Listen to me, I have a great idea, it's about our drama..." Li Han told Li Yitong about the "Tong Xin Wei Min" plan.
Upon hearing this, Li Yitong's narrowed eyes gradually widened, and she looked at Li Han with a bewildered expression.
"What the heck, a lesbian couple?? Me and Xiaotian? You must be kidding me."
"How can this be a joke? I'm serious," Li Han said.
"Sis, don't you think you have that kind of charm, especially when you wear glasses and have long, straight black hair? You're incredibly attractive to girls. There's a popular internet term for it... something like 'Gida Kuangxiang'!"
Li Yitong looked at Li Han with amusement. She didn't understand what Ji Da Kuang Xiang meant, but she understood what Li Han meant.
"Feed." Li Yitong couldn't help but put her hands on her hips.
"I'm your older sister, and Xiaotian is your boyfriend. Is this appropriate?"
"My god, sis, now that you mention it, it actually sounds pretty exciting. Sis, don't get too caught up in the role when you're acting it out," Li Han said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
"Don't joke around." Li Yitong smiled helplessly.
"I'm not joking. I'm the director. You act exactly as I say. Listen to me, you won't go wrong... Ouch." Li Han adopted his director's airs and said in an unquestionable manner.
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yitong grabbed his ear. Although she had a good temper, she still had the bloodline to suppress her younger brother.
However, it's still quite difficult for her, who is only 163cm tall, to pinch Li Han's ear, who is 186cm tall.
"You brat, trying to intimidate me with your director status, huh?" Li Yitong glared at Li Han with her beautiful eyes.
"I'm serious, sis. Trust me, we won't do it openly, we'll do it secretly." Li Han said quickly, grinning. He already had a plan in mind.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Li Yitong released Li Han, looked at him in confusion, and secretly wondered.
"Don't worry, sis, just teach me." Li Han rubbed his face and smiled confidently.
"Teach you? You'd probably just lead me astray." Li Yitong crossed her arms and looked up at Li Han, teasingly.
"That's a good point. If you follow me to the ends of the earth, we're in the right," Li Han laughed.
"...What's the use of telling me about Xiaotian? And what about her?" Li Yitong said, licking her lips.
"Xiaotian? No need to tell her, we're not doing this openly anyway." Li Han smiled upon hearing this.
Li Yitong tilted her head and looked at Li Han with some confusion. How exactly are you going to film this?
Li Han has always felt that when filming a romance drama, it's best to avoid frequent kissing or bed scenes. Eye contact, actions, body language, micro-expressions, tears, and so on can all perfectly convey love.
Moreover, the emotional scenes conveyed through various subtle expressions are far more engaging than those idol dramas that you start watching after only a few episodes.
Another point is that this style of presentation is easier to pass censorship.
The following day, filming officially began for "So Cute Us".
Inside the dressing room, Li Han and the others were getting their makeup done. The makeup artists were specially hired and their techniques were very skilled.
Tian Xiwei opened her mouth slightly and yawned. She was a little sleepy and also a little hungry, as she had been on a diet recently.
She didn't eat anything when she woke up this morning. Li Han told her to eat something, but she really didn't have much of an appetite.
After finishing her makeup, Li Han was sitting behind the monitor on set, communicating with director Mao De Shu.
Since this is Tian Xiwei's first time acting, in order to take care of her, the first scene to be filmed is a scene between her and Li Han, not an ensemble scene.
Li Han's current directing skills are only passable, though they can be considered professional. However, no matter how strong his directing skills are, he cannot truly direct and act in his own films; he still needs an assistant director to assist him.
In my past life, I often directed and starred in films with several assistant directors. Directing and starring in your own films would be very tiring.
The director of Cat Tree is only in his twenties, and Li Han feels that their directing abilities should be about the same.
Not far away, Li Yitong and Tian Xiwei were sitting under a tree. Tian Xiwei was wearing a coat, blinking her big eyes in a daze, staring blankly at Li Han not far away. Her bangs made her fair face look particularly small, about the size of a palm.
However, this is also thanks to the results of her weight loss during this period.
Tian Xiwei was a little nervous at this moment. After all, this was her first time acting, and she was the female lead. She put her hands on her legs and couldn't help but clasp her fingers together.
Sitting to the side, Li Yitong noticed Tian Xiwei's nervousness. She smiled slightly, her eyes curving into crescents.
"Xiaotian, are you nervous?"
"Hmm." Tian Xiwei turned to look at Li Yitong and forced a smile.
"That's normal. I barely slept the night before my first filming experience, and I was so nervous and excited on set the next day that I couldn't sleep," Li Yitong said with a slight smile, trying to comfort me.
"Don't be nervous, you've done very well. Li Han is the director, lead actor, investor, and screenwriter. He wouldn't dare to get angry with you if there were any problems. I was like that back then..."
Li Yitong comforted Tian Xiwei by talking about her early days in the industry, acting like an older sister.
Tian Xiwei smiled as she looked at Li Yitong's face and her smiling eyes. Her thoughts followed the other person's topic, and she gradually became less nervous.
Sister Tong... she's such a nice person.
Soon after, the first act of "So Cute Us" officially began.
Li Han and Tian Xiwei stood on the filming set. Tian Xiwei had her hair tied in a ponytail, wore a red top and a short skirt, and looked very cute.
"Action!" Power on.
Holding a chocolate ice cream in his hand, Li Han took a bite and then turned to look at Tian Xiwei with a surprised expression.
"Chocolate flavored?"
Tian Xiwei's expression was fierce. Her fair face and big eyes glared at Li Han. She crossed her arms, looked at him, pursed her lips, nodded, and looked him up and down with a playful look in her eyes.
"Tan Song, you're dead."
"Why?" Li Han looked at her.
Tian Xiwei then smiled sweetly, her expression teasing, "Dogs can't eat snacks..."
