Against the Current Hong Kong 1979

Chapter 100 Tonight We'll Be in Our Wedding Night (4 Updates, Please Subscribe)

There are two more scenes set in this coffee shop.

One of the stories is about Roberto, who was dumped by Alian and was in despair when he happened to meet his white moonlight, Bai Fangfang, here.

Bai Fangfang and Robert used to be neighbors. She was a few years older than him. Later, she participated in a beauty pageant and became a phoenix overnight. By then, they had not seen each other for several years.

When Roberto saw the radiant Bai Fangfang, he realized he had just been dumped by an ugly woman, and his inferiority complex reached its peak. That's why he swore to Guan Yu that he would become the most handsome man in Hong Kong, and then he was possessed by the god of handsome men.

Another scene shows the male lead, Roberto, becoming handsome and coming back to the coffee shop, where he is spoken to by the female executive played by Zhao Yazhi.

Roberto thought this was a result of his increased handsomeness and was extremely proud of himself.

Actually, the female executive was looking for a backup boyfriend to become a father unexpectedly. Moreover, because she was pregnant with her boss's child, her boss didn't want her to find a male apprentice, fearing that she would be seduced. So, she took the initiative to approach Roberto, who was ugly.

This is the dramatic and comedic effect created by unexpected coincidences.

Scenes like these are usually filmed twice: Shi Tian films one take, and Zhang Shuai'an films another, also to create contrast.

At this moment, Zhang Shuai'an had already finished his makeup and was wearing the same white suit as Shi Tian.

Even the makeup artist couldn't help but praise him: "He's so handsome, it's no exaggeration to call him the god of handsome men."

When Zhang Shuai'an walked back onto the set, a chorus of "Wow!"s erupted from both men and women, all exclaiming in surprise at his appearance.

"It's really unbelievable." Shi Tian felt a little itchy as he saw Zhang Shuai'an walking over: "If only I could become that handsome."

Zhang Shuai'an said with a smile, "In this movie, I am you, and you are me."

"So it can only be seen in movies," Shi Tian replied with a wry smile.

Next, the scene with Zhao Yazhi was filmed first, because the scene didn't need to be changed much, just a few more guests were added.

On the contrary, Bai Fangfang's appearance requires some preparation in advance, and some places will have to be dismantled to make room for the camera.

Zhao Yazhi had already put on her makeup and was wearing a plain white long dress, making her look elegant and intellectual.

She sat alone in the corner, drinking bitter coffee, her heart filled with even more bitter thoughts.

She plays a high-ranking executive in a listed company. She's beautiful, and by all accounts, her life should be incredibly smooth.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. She had an affair with her boss and got pregnant.

The boss had three daughters with his first wife and desperately wanted a son, so he ordered her to give birth to the child.

Her family probably sensed something was wrong and kept urging her to get married.

The boss now agrees to let her find a man for a fake marriage and have a son, but to prevent her from developing a real relationship with her fake husband, the boss requires her to find an ugly man.

Just when she was at her wit's end, she saw Roberto in the same coffee shop, drinking tea.

For a moment, she thought Roberto was quite handsome, but then she realized he was actually quite ugly.

Most importantly, she felt that this kind of man was easy to manipulate, so she took the initiative to go forward and sit opposite him.

The version filmed first was Zhang Shuai'an's.

Zhang Shuai'an crossed his legs and looked at the people coming and going outside the window with a melancholy gaze. Suddenly, a woman blocked his view and sat down opposite him.

Zhang Shuai'an glanced at her and asked with a smile, "Are you the woman Aunt Wang introduced?"

"I believe in fate, and I also believe in my first impression."

Zhao Yazhi neither confirmed nor refuted, but said very forcefully, "I think you are very good and suitable to be my boyfriend."

Zhang Shuai'an frowned slightly: "So-called love at first sight is usually just lust at first sight."

"I don't have time for nonsense," Zhao Yazhi said bluntly. "If you get engaged to me, I can give you a house."

""

Zhang Shuai'an's gaze was cold: "Don't try to tempt me with money, I'm not that kind of person."

Zhao Yazhi said seductively, "Promise me you'll consummate your marriage tonight."

"Woman, you've successfully caught my attention." Zhang Shuai'an's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"Click!"

Liu Guanwei, who was acting as the executive director, immediately called a halt and said, "Change the person, let's do it again."

Zhang Shuai'an got up and left.

Shi Tian straightened his clothes, spat water into his palm, carefully spread it evenly, and then wiped it on his hair.

"What are you doing!" Zhao Yazhi was amused by his behavior.

Shi Tian grinned and said, "Of course I want to look as handsome as possible, so as not to offend the beauty."

"Alright, Sister Zi, you go first and get in position," Zhang Shuai'an instructed, looking at the camera.

Before long, everyone was in their positions.

The camera was pointed at Shi Tian, ​​who was also sitting with his legs crossed, drinking tea in the coffee shop in a unique way.

He deliberately imitated Zhang Shuai'an's melancholy prince-like expression from earlier.

The next second, someone on set broke down in laughter, exclaiming, "Hahaha, sorry, I couldn't help it!"

Then they clicked the shutter several more times, and someone couldn't help but laugh.

On one occasion, Zhang Shuai'an himself couldn't resist.

"Alright!" Zhang Shuai'an called out sharply, "Hey, get serious, we're filming! Sister Zi, get into the frame!"

Zhao Yazhi walked gracefully to the opposite side of Shi Tian and sat down with a charming air. However, before she could even open her mouth, she couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Shi Tian's "I'm the most handsome man in the world" expression.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Zhao Yazhi apologized repeatedly, then took a deep breath and started again.

"So you're the woman Aunt Wang introduced?" Shi Tian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug expression.

Zhao Yazhi suppressed a laugh as she delivered her lines: "I believe in fate, and I also believe in first impressions. I think you're great, and very suitable to be my boyfriend."

"Another woman who's after my beauty. How shallow."

Shi Tian casually replied with a line, almost causing Zhao Yazhi to ruin his composure again.

"So-called love at first sight is usually nothing more than lust at first sight."

Shi Tian continued reciting his lines in a serious manner.

Zhao Yazhi continued reciting her lines, a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Woman, money has no effect on me. Don't taint my noble soul!" Shi Tian deliberately said the lines differently from Zhang Shuai'an, making the contrast even greater.

"Promise me you'll consummate your marriage tonight," Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

"Pfft"

Shi Tian instantly lost his composure, spitting out the tea he had just drunk. He looked around frantically, and finding no one paying attention, nervously sized up Zhao Yazhi: "Are you sure?"

"Click!"

Zhang Shuai'an promptly called "cut," and said with a smile, "OK, this take is done."

Next, we started adjusting the set to prepare for filming Bai Fangfang's entrance scene.

Alongside Bai Fangfang, there will also be a male supporting actor, Chen Xunqi, who is scheduled to make a cameo appearance.

However, Chen Xunqi is currently filming on location.

Therefore, we will temporarily skip the scenes featuring him and only film the scenes of Roberto and Bai Fangfang.

"Sister La, you just got out of the taxi and came to the coffee shop to meet a client. You saw the client as soon as you got out of the car, so you raised your hand to say hello."

"However, Roberto happened to be in that direction, and he thought you were greeting him."

"Then you pass by Roberto and see him lying on the ground. You think he's a street performer and feel sorry for him, so you casually toss him some change."

Shi Tian listened from the side and muttered, "This male lead is really pitiful. If I were to direct it, I would definitely portray myself as a womanizer who has slept with countless women. As long as I'm in charge, there's no woman I can't handle."

Fatty Wang, standing nearby, said irritably, "With your looks, how could you possibly be a Casanova? You're more like a lunatic."

Deborah's scenes went very smoothly; this kind of role was easy for her and didn't present any difficulties.
