Kiss me tender

Knowing that Eric was doing this for her good, Melissa nodded. But on second thought, she thought he was indeed a strict man.
If it weren't for her, he would be more demanding of other actresses. But it was understandable. After all, Eric played in movies
with exquisite plots, which was different from those rough and crude TV play series. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to ask
for a higher standard. Otherwise, he would not be able to be the best actor.
Eric added, "you behaved well just now, but your expression was a little nervous, perhaps because you hadn't acted for a long
time, you are not cut and smart enough. It is not up to Lara Mu's character. You should try to relax yourself later in the next
shoot. I asked for reshoot just because I found that your expression was not looked good. Otherwise, you would regret on TV."
Melissa nodded gratefully. Thus, Eric went back to the doorway and was about to take another shoot. When everyone was
getting ready, director Li stopped them again. All of a sudden, director Li stood up hastily and said, "Stop! Stop! Stop, both of
you! "
Melissa looked at director Li in confusion. Then director Li waved to her and Eric and said, "Come here. I have something to tell
you."
Eric had no choice but to go with Melissa. Honestly speaking, Melissa was very obedient and teachable. Even though Eric was a
famous star, he respected the directors and so he went there without any hesitation.
But the director whined, as if he was thinking about something and didn't know what to say. "What's on your mind?" Asked Eric.
Director Li thought for a while and said: "in fact, it's not a big deal. It's just a sudden inspiration. I want to... If this TV play gets off
with an eye-catching start, it will attract more attention."
"What are you going to do?" Asked Melissa.
Director Li smiled at them and said, "You two know what the recent news is about. They are all guessing about the relationship
between you two. And the reporters at the opening ceremony just asked if you would kiss in the TV series. The thing I was
thinking about was that we started the kiss at the beginning. It must be more exciting than anything else. Hahaha! "
Hearing what the director had said, Melissa and Eric was stunned. They hadn't expected that director Li would have such an
idea. No wonder he was hesitating. Maybe it was not appropriate for the director to ask Eric to act in this way. If the actor wasn't
Eric, director Li would have already asked him to play the kiss scene without asking the actor's opinion. But Eric was different
and he had to show respect for Eric, who had acted in the TV series just to show the director respect.
Frowning, Melissa didn't say anything. Eric glanced at her, so he didn't say anything either.

Director Li thought they didn't want to do it and said more, "if you two don't want to do it, we can shoot with the lens of
dislocation. But if you can post a picture which you are similar to kiss on the Internet, it will be very crazy. I think we will get more
attention."
Eric had noticed the frown on Melissa's face. Although he wasn't repulsed the kiss scene, and even hoped, he had to respect
women's opinion. Seeing the expression on her face, he knew she wasn't happy, so he rejected, "I don't think it's necessary at
all. The shot is not based on the hype, but on its own quality. Director Li, you are a famous director, why do you want to hype
with other TV series?
"But I think it would be better if we have a show of kissing..."
"Then let's begin. I have no problem. Eric, what do you think?" Unexpectedly, Melissa said yes. When she said yes, both director
Li and Eric were not in the state. They couldn't believe their ears and looked at her in amazement.
Melissa glanced at them and said decisively, "Go ahead!"
Actually, the frown on Melissa's face's reason was that they were acting in an ancient costume drama, not an idol show. Kissing
was so erotic for the people in ancient times because they weren't so open. They began kissing in the yard, she thought it was
ridiculous. But director Li wanted to make it a hit, and besides, she thought it was a good chance for her to have something to do
with Eric and let Colin know that, so she agreed.
Eric asked with uncertainty, "Are you for real? A kissing scene? Are you using the lens of dislocation?"
Melissa said, "No, since the director wants to hype, just do it. It's useless to do it with the lens of dislocation. As an actress, I
have to make a sacrifice for the art. Just do whatever the director tells us. Or do you have any other opinion? " Melissa then
turned to look at Eric.
Subconsciously, Eric lowered his head, touched his mouth and said, "No, no. I don't have any objection. We can say whatever
you want. We should do our job as an actor."
When the director saw that they all agreed with his idea, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it seems that both of
you are good actors and are willing to sacrifice for the art. So that's the deal. I will arrange a kissing scene right away." So he
asked the staff there to adjust the light and prepare the petals. Then, the romantic scene would be shown, saying that Eric and
Melissa were about to kiss.

The director's announcement created a sensation on the whole crew, including Colin and Junia who were there watching them
filming.
Crossing her arms over her chest, Junia frowned and told Colin, "Mr. Colin, did I hear it wrong? Director Li said Eric and Melissa
would have a kiss scene? Were they wanting to show off their love by using the show, or were they really sacrificing themselves
to the art? How could Melissa act in a kissing scene like this? Shame on her!"
