Chapter 75: Cameo — How about a kiss?
The dancer’s role wasn’t significant, and most of the time her face was veiled, so any extra or bit actor with a good enough figure could play the part.
Lin Qihang had already changed three different actresses for the role to help Jiang Qi shoot this “intense but deadly” scene, but he was at his wits’ end. He was so stressed about it that he felt like he was going bald… He even considered getting a male actor to cross-dress and play the dancer!
He found a thin, willowy male actor, dressed him up as a woman, and excitedly brought him to Jiang Qi, only to be met with a look of utter disdain that screamed, “Are you insane?” Jiang Qi’s glare completely crushed Lin Qihang’s enthusiasm.
Damn it, what a disaster.
The scene had its ups and downs and ultimately ended in failure, but they couldn’t just skip it. The scene had to be filmed eventually, but Lin Qihang was agonizing over who could possibly get Jiang Qi to “reluctantly” get into character. He was about to lose his mind.
—Until today, when he saw Zhi Qi.
Suddenly, Lin Qihang had a revelation. If Jiang Qi couldn’t act out romantic or intimate scenes with other people, why not have his wife guest star in the role?
After all, the dancer didn’t have many scenes where her face was visible, so no real acting skills were required.
More importantly, when it came time for promotion, they could advertise it as “Jiang Qi’s wife’s surprise cameo, delivering a stunning romantic performance on the big screen.” It would generate free publicity like wildfire!
