But when it came to filming the lift scene, John couldn't hold back: "I want to try too!"
Xia Siyu turned around and gave him a look, then said disdainfully, "You? Are you sure?"
No man in the world could tolerate being told they're not capable. John quickly puffed up his chest: "Why not? You're my partner, we should do it! How can a stand-in take my place? Unless you use one too."
The manager actually didn't want his artist working more and earning less. Although with someone watching, it wouldn't be dangerous, there was no need to go all out for just a scene. So he gently advised, "They have already rehearsed. It wastes time."
John turned to seek the director's opinion: "Director, can I give it a try?"
The director certainly preferred the actors to do it themselves, so he smiled, "You can, but..."
But whatever "but," hearing the word "can," John excitedly went to practice the moves.
