Chapter 36 (1/2)

An Exciting Performance

Lu Zhen really didn’t feel too good at this moment. She had just mobilized all her emotions and immersed herself in her role, completely treating herself as Qin Qing. She seemed to be able to feel all of Qin Qing’s sorrow and pain.

After she had killed the magistrate, there was a small detail that she didn’t even notice. She looked at the head and the blood on the ground for a few seconds in shock. Then, two streams of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Those tears were completely instinctive. She wasn’t acting.

At this moment, the director replayed the scene that had just been filmed over and over again. His tone was extremely excited. “Good. This scene is brilliant!”

Actually, there were still some parts of this scene that weren’t that perfect. For example, the lighting had not been adjusted properly, and the emotions of the other actors weren’t in place. However, all of these shortcomings were covered up by Lu Zhen’s brilliant performance.

She was the star today. No one could look away from her.

The reason the director didn’t shoot it a second time wasn’t because he didn’t want to, but because he didn’t dare to.

He was afraid that Lu Zhen wouldn’t be in such an engaged state when they shot the scene a second time. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Lu Zhen, but he still felt that during the scene today, Lu Zhen outperformed herself. She wasn’t her usual self.

There were moments when actors seemed to have been blessed by the goddess of inspiration acted in brilliant ways that he didn’t expect. Such moments were very rare, but they were difficult to replicate.

The director walked to Lu Zhen’s side. Seeing that Lu Zhen seemed to be in a low mood, he comforted her. “This scene just now was indeed very difficult. Lu Zhen, go back and rest first. We’ll film the outside scenes two days later. You performed well today and surprised me very much.”

Lu Zhen nodded politely and smiled gently. “Thank you for the compliment, Director. I’ll be leaving now.”

Sun Xiao helped Lu Zhen leave the set, but just as the two of them were leaving, Lu Zhen suddenly saw an extremely striking figure.

Song Jia was wearing casual clothes today, and his temperament was very low-key and reserved. However, his appearance was too dazzling. Even on a set full of celebrities, Lu Zhen couldn’tice him at a glance.

Lu Zhen slowly walked up to Song Jia. “Why are you here, Mr. Song?”

“The company’s artist was injured in an accident. I came over to take a look at the situation.” Song Jia briefly explained the situation and looked at Lu Zhen. He was sizing her up, as if he had just gotten to know her again. “I just saw your scene. It was really impressive.”
