The second shoot went without a hitch.
With their collaboration on "Original Sin," Tang Li and Guan Xiao were less awkward in their opposing roles in front of the camera, making no mistakes in their movements or positions.
The director watched the monitor, and perhaps with the benefit of experience, the actors' second take delivered an even better dramatic effect.
The first scene passed on the second take.
When the director called "Cut!" and "Good!" Tang Li pulled herself out of acting mode, returned Lu Xiaoyang's cellphone to the props master, and walked straight over to where Gao Wenlan and others were gathered.
Along the way, she happened upon several delivery guys.
Tang Li thought they were delivering late-night snacks ordered by the crew.
Gao Wenlan caught sight of Tang Li and gave her a sidelong glance: "Done shooting?"
