"If I can master it, maybe I can learn from Akimoto Yasushi in the future..."

After the image of that middle-aged man appeared in her mind, a faint smile appeared on Genkawa Yu's face.

Volume 2 Tokyo Love Story: Chapter 20 A Kiss Scene Without Acting Skills, Full of Emotion (2-in-1 6k)

The filming of "Love Like a Bouquet" is progressing smoothly.

Under the delicate and precise control of director Doi, the opening part of the film was filmed smoothly. The process of [Yamaon Mugi] and [Yatani Kinu] from meeting, getting to know each other and falling in love was portrayed by Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane in a way that was both realistic and moving, full of the ecstasy and sweetness of finding "another me in the world".

That morning, after filming a few transition shots, Director Doi, holding the storyboard, stroked his chin with a smile that mixed artistic pursuit with a hint of teasing, and walked up to Yu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa, who were taking a short break.

"Minamoto-kun, Kurokawa-san."

Director Doi's voice carried its usual gentleness, but his eyes gleamed with an unmistakable seriousness.

"We've laid the groundwork enough. Now, we're going to get into the movie... well, the more core and special part."

He flipped through the scripts, pointing to the section marked "cohabitation".

"The next part of the filming will be some scenes after [Yamaon Mugi] and [Yatani Kinu] start living together. There are two relatively intimate scenes that need special attention."

He paused, seemingly considering his words to ensure professional and clear communication, since this kind of scene requires better cooperation from the actors to achieve the desired visual effect.

"One is a scene where they are at home at night, sharing the same blanket, and there is a kissing scene, which can be considered a metaphor for the most intimate scene between lovers. The other is a scene where they are taking a bath together in the bathtub."

He looked at the two lead actors, his tone becoming more serious.

"Although these two shots may not be long in the final film, they are key moments that showcase the unreserved intimacy, sweetness, and intense love between couples in the throes of new love. Therefore, the transmission of emotions must be accurate and natural."

The director paused, then emphasized the last instruction again.

"The content in the shot must appear very aesthetically pleasing."

"Therefore, you two need to prepare yourselves mentally and cultivate the right emotions. We are not in a hurry; we are pursuing the best results."

After listening, Genkawa Yu's face didn't show much emotion. As the scriptwriter himself, he already knew the plot and the emotions he wanted to express, so he wasn't too flustered.

He quickly reviewed the specific descriptions and emotional requirements in the script in his mind, nodded, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Understood, Director. I'll get back into character quickly."

At this moment, Genkawa Yu turned his gaze to Kurokawa Akane beside him, his expression carrying both inquiry and a hint of barely perceptible reassurance.

"Kurokawa-san, what about you?"

After all, this is a movie set, so you can't just call people by name; the people around you are all unfamiliar staff members.

However, in stark contrast to Yu Minakawa's composure, Akane Kurokawa's reaction was much more vivid.

Upon hearing the keywords "kissing" and "showering together," her cheeks flushed crimson almost instantly, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.

The girl subconsciously lowered her head slightly, her thick, curled eyelashes fluttering rapidly like startled butterfly wings, trying to hide her suddenly racing heart and the shyness welling up inside her.

Of course, there was also a hint of excitement.

Having bravely expressed her feelings, the prospect of filming intimate scenes has left Akane Kurokawa feeling somewhat trembling.

Deep inside her, besides the nervousness that an actor should feel, there was an indescribable surge of emotion, a mixture of intense anticipation and shyness.

She could finally kiss Yuu Minakawa openly and wholeheartedly in front of the camera, instead of just giving him a hasty peck on the cheek like last time.

This was my first kiss.

"I...I understand now."

An !;,!. __-_? .;:;~ ?;.__ -~_-_ _-~__ ,.~~~ ~_-?. ---,; can

Akane Kurokawa's voice was a little softer than usual, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, but she quickly raised her head, forcing herself to meet the director's and Yu Genkawa's gazes, displaying the attitude of a professional actress.

"I will try my best to do well."

Director Doi noticed her slight nervousness, smiled knowingly, and offered words of comfort.

"Relax, Kurokawa-san. I believe in your chemistry with Genkawa-kun, and I also believe in our entire team. We will all work hard to create a good atmosphere and ensure that the filming takes place in a comfortable and professional environment."

After the director left to arrange the lighting and camera positions, Akane Kurokawa stood there, feeling her face burning.

"Kurokawa?"

Upon hearing Genkawa's gentle voice, she suddenly seemed to remember something extremely important, raising her head and speaking urgently.

"Um, I'll go wash up first, Genkawa-kun, please wait for me."

"?"

Watching the girl's retreating figure, her sudden act of trying to ensure she was in top form, with its girlish innocence and cuteness, made several staff members around her smile kindly.

Even Genkawa Yu couldn't help but chuckle at her serious demeanor and meticulous attention to oral hygiene.

"There's no need to be so nervous..."

At that moment, Kato Megumi suddenly walked up to Genkawa Yu, holding a disposable salt toothpaste and a blue toothbrush in her hand.

"Mr. Genkawa, would you like to go wash up too?"

"...Okay, I'll go too."

Genkawa Yu glanced at Kato Megumi and noticed that she was holding a small green bottle in her other hand, which piqued his curiosity.

"what is this?"

"Mouthwash, Genkawa-san can use this after we finish filming the kissing scene."

"...Kato."

"what happened?"

The short-haired girl looked up at his face gently. Although her expression was calm, a strange light flickered in her eyes.

"You're really thoughtful."

Genkawa Yu did not refuse her suggestion and went into the bathroom with toothpaste and toothbrush.

A moment later, everything was ready.

The first scene to be filmed was a "kissing under the covers" scene, set in a cozy bedroom with a simple cotton quilt on a double bed.

Yuu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa had changed into comfortable loungewear and were sitting side by side on the bed, with a pale yellow blanket covering their waists.

"Action!"

As the clapperboard fell, the camera focused on the two of them.

According to the script, it was nighttime, and the two had just finished a busy day. They were leaning against the headboard chatting about trivial matters, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

As they chatted, Akane Kurokawa's gaze fell on Yu Minakawa's profile, outlined by the soft glow of the bedside lamp, and her eyes gradually deepened and filled with love.

After a while, Genkawa Yu took the initiative to approach, and Kurokawa Akane seemed to notice, turning her head slightly with the same tenderness and a hint of shy expectation in her eyes.

The two faces slowly approached each other in front of the camera.

At this moment, Akane Kurokawa could clearly feel Yu Minakawa's warm breath brushing against her cheek, and she could even count his slightly trembling eyelashes that were so close to hers.

This is filming.

This is filming.

She silently recited it in her heart, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. After a while, when Genkawa Yu's face slowly approached, Kurokawa Akane subconsciously went to meet it.

However, perhaps due to lack of experience, or perhaps due to overly complex emotions, the girl's actions became somewhat out of control.

She accidentally bumped into Genkawa Yu's lower lip, even biting it with a little force.

"Well..."

Genkawa Yu let out a very soft groan, his movements immediately halting. He glanced at the system panel that had suddenly popped up and was immediately speechless.

"Cut!"

Director Doi immediately called for a stop, his tone not blaming, but rather understanding.

"Kurokawa-san, relax a little, don't be so rough. You two are lovers kissing, not biting. Let's do it again."

Akane Kurokawa's face instantly turned bright red, almost dripping blood, and even her neck turned pink. She hurriedly retreated, utterly ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Genkawa-kun, I...I didn't mean to."

Genkawa Yu rubbed his lower lip; it felt a little numb, but it was nothing serious.

Looking at Akane Kurokawa's expression, as if she wanted to disappear into the ground, he found her reaction genuinely endearing.

So he lowered his hand, smiled gently, and reassured her.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, Kurokawa. Just relax and follow my rhythm."

His tolerance and composure were like a gentle breeze, slightly dispelling Kurokawa Akane's embarrassment. The girl lowered her hand, took a few deep breaths, tried to calm her wildly beating heart, and nodded vigorously in the direction of Director Genkawa Yu.

"Okay! I'll adjust."

The second shoot begins.

This time, Akane Kurokawa tried hard to control the turbulent emotions in her heart and attempted to immerse herself in the role in a more relaxed way.

The two drew closer and pressed together again. This time the contact was much gentler, but perhaps because Akane Kurokawa was still a bit stiff, or perhaps because she didn't quite get the angle right, the kissing scene looked fine, but director Doi was aiming for a natural, flowing kind of love.

"It feels about 70-80% right, but it could be a little softer, a little more involved, Ms. Akane, try to give him a response."

Director Doi gave instructions from behind the monitor.

So, the third time, the fourth time…
