9 pm.
Lin Zixuan held an A4 sheet of paper with the song "Someday in the Past or Future" printed on it and rang the doorbell of Dong Xuan's room.
Dong Xuan opened the door and saw Lin Zixuan standing there. Thinking he had changed his mind, she happily jumped into his arms without caring that she was still at the door. "I knew it, you couldn't bear to part with me."
"Ahem, let's go inside and talk." Lin Zixuan pulled her into the room.
Dong Xuan sensed something was off. "What's going on? Didn't you come here to confirm our relationship?"
"Sister Xuan, I'm too young right now, and my career hasn't even started yet. I really have no heart or energy to talk about relationships."
"You scumbag, then why did you come to me? Did you think you could get away with this for free? I'm not playing along."
"Sister Xuan, don't put it so harshly. What do you mean by 'free fun'? We're just getting what we need from each other."
"You jerk, I don't want to talk to you, go back." Dong Xuan said, heading to open the door.
"Stop, stop, stop! Look what this is!" Lin Zixuan handed her the A4 paper in his hand.
"What is this?" Dong Xuan asked suspiciously, taking the item and examining it closely.
She was stunned when she saw the words "someday in the past or future" at the top, and then she couldn't take her eyes off it.
Would you like to sing the opening theme song for "Someday or One Day"?
"Did you write this?"
"Of course, I've already spoken with Producer Zhou and Director Liu and we'll use it as the opening theme song."
As the sun gradually set and the streetlights began to illuminate the corner café with its roundabout, the sky slowly turning gray. Guo Dongxuan recited the lyrics aloud, "The lyrics are truly beautiful; they're definitely tailor-made for our drama. Are you really confident that I'll sing them?"
"That depends on your attitude towards me, then?"
"You bastard, I've let you play for free for so long, aren't you satisfied?"
"Why do you keep saying it's free? This is clearly a mutually beneficial arrangement where we both get what we want and enjoy ourselves. Don't you enjoy it too?"
Dong Xuan knows firsthand how much a good song can enhance an actor's career. Last year, she spent a lot of money to sing the ending theme song "Love to Death" for the TV series "Eight Heroes".
Although the ratings for "Eight Heroes" were not high and the quality of "Love to Death" was not particularly high, after the TV series aired, her price for commercial performances increased by 50% because she had a representative song.
This is still before "Eight Heroes" became a hit and "Love to Death" was only moderately popular, yet it still achieved such a good effect.
The script for "Someday or One Day" is of such high quality, and it's still the most popular idol drama among young people. The song "Someday in the Past or Future" is also of such high quality.
If "Someday or One Day" becomes a huge hit after it airs, and also makes "Someday or One Day in the Past" a hit, how much would that help her?
Her mind started to stir completely.
Faced with such a huge offer from Lin Zixuan, she naturally dared not confront him directly.
Her face flushed, and she took the initiative to kiss Lin Zixuan. "You bad boy, you are a bit of a jerk, but you are indeed talented. Okay, let's just say we each get what we want."
"That's more like it. There's a saying, 'Don't worry about forever, just cherish what you had.' Isn't that perfect for us?"
Dong Xuan's face turned even redder. "You scoundrel, you're full of scumbag talk. Fine, I won't force you anymore, but if I need anything, you have to satisfy me unconditionally."
Lin Zixuan felt much more at ease. "No problem. It's all about physical intimacy, not emotional connection. I'll definitely satisfy you."
"But I can't read music. Could you teach me?"
"Aren't you going to kick me out now?"
Furious, Dong Xuan pinched Lin Zixuan's waist with her slender fingers. "Ugh, can't you be a little more magnanimous?"
.
After saying that, she pulled him to sit on the sofa in the living room and snuggled up to him.
Lin Zixuan kissed her, picked her up and placed her on his lap, "Okay."
As the sun gradually sets, the streetlights begin to come on...
As he taught her to sing, he used his hands to help her remove her equipment. Dong Xuan only swayed symbolically a couple of times before starting to cooperate.
After teaching the song once, Dong Xuan had lost all her equipment.
Unwilling to remain passive, she began to respond proactively, helping Lin Zixuan remove his equipment. Her trembling voice rang out, "Ah Xuan, love me..."

The next day, Liu Junjie was pleased to see that Lin Zixuan and Dong Xuan had returned to their previous affectionate state, and the filming went smoothly again.
Dong Xuan moved back into Lin Zixuan's room that night. Of course, she claimed that she couldn't read music and wanted to use the evening to have Lin Zixuan teach her to sing "Someday in the Past or Future".
As for what happens after singing, I'm naturally too tired and need to do something more beneficial to my physical and mental health to relieve the fatigue.
In any case, the two of them were thoroughly enjoying themselves, each taking pleasure in the other's company.
Soon, another week passed, and only the final scene at the beach remained.
On September 23, the crew set off early in the morning and arrived in Nandaihe.
The film crew had already arranged a beautiful beach for the location shooting in advance, and it was closed off, so there was no need to worry about other people interfering with the filming.
Of course, the cost was also considerable; the venue fee alone cost 1 yuan in just one day.
On the golden sand, white waves rose and fell with the breeze, constantly lapping against the beach. Lin Zixuan and Dong Xuan stood barefoot, facing each other on the sand.
Lin Zixuan asked with a mixture of confusion and deep affection, "If that's the case, then what should I do when I want to see you in the future?"
. . . . . .
Dong Xuan wrapped the earphones from her Walkman around the Walkman. "It's simple when you want to see me. Just listen to Wu Bai's 'Last Dance'."
After saying that, he handed the Walkman to Lin Zixuan. "I came here because of this song. If I am gone one day and you want to see me, listen to this song and see if it will bring you back to me just like it brought me back then."
The two were overcome with emotion, tears streaming down their faces, and embraced each other tightly, choking back sobs for 20 seconds (the chorus of "Want to See You, Want to See You, Want to See You" can be inserted here later).
Dong Xuan continued crying, "No matter what our future holds, I believe that if it's you, you won't forget me, and you'll eventually find me, right?"
Lin Zixuan, with tears in her eyes, said, "I promise you, I will never forget you. No matter what it takes, I will find you in the end."
After saying that, the two embraced and kissed.
This is the climax of the plot and a moment for the audience to release their emotions. It demands a lot from the actors, and Liu Junjie did not compromise or be careless this time. Instead, he put in the strictest requirements.
Even though Lin Zixuan and Dong Xuan had already deeply immersed themselves in their roles, this scene still took four takes before the director called "pass."
With the completion of filming for this final scene.
The director shouted through a megaphone, "Filming for 'Someday or One Day' has wrapped!"
The entire crew cheered in unison.
