guys i'm losing my mind. look at this.

Cheng Xiaoshi changes the ending of Chen Xiao's basketball game, then we cut to this-

and we're given flashbacks of their "first" meeting-

(....Is this when Lu Guang realized he'd been forgotten?)

Then we see Cheng Xiaoshi freak out when Lu Guang in the present doesn't answer him.

Lu Guang was still there, but what they're going for is clear and I'm gonna scream.

EDIT IT GOT WORSE

That promise was probably about seeing each other again after she moves to the city................

And here's the difference!!:

Oh my GOD. Do y'all see that???

Judging both by their positions and the clean transition between clips, the first one obviously was the original or at least what the stager initially had in mind. Oh and these two were serious for once.

The second one, however, felt like your average gabico playing around on the set at some point (they just can't lock in when the other is around it seems...)

Because in the 2nd version you can clearly see Nico making close eye contact with Gabi and immediately cracking up, with the latter following suit, resulting into them stalling the scene xD↓↓

You can notice in comparison above just how much longer the second act lasted despite the clips being the same length. It's so far off from the overall vid pace that it just can't be planned lol (I didn't upload the og vids here (yet?) but just believe me when I say that) (edit: here's ver.1 & ver.2)

Like, after realising they're about to fuck up, Nico tries to pull Gabi in by hand to get him out of the frame but Gabi, thinking absolutely the same—inches away from losing it too—pushes Nico back AT THE SAME TIME, and thanks to that we get them stepping away in nearly perfect sync (are you guys dancing already??)

(here's the slowed & brightened close-up fragment cuz I bet you didn't see anything in the previous one thanks to beautiful tumblr gif quality and low original brightness<3)
