Chapter 145 - Explosive Acting Skills
Lu Gan fell silent. He had never thought about this before!
Nonetheless, did he have the right to say “no”? His wife was already on set!
“Holding hands and cuddling is fine, but no kissing or intimate intercourse! If those scenes exist, you better delete them!”
‘I knew it. He has limits!’
Yang Haoran quickly replied, “Don’t worry, CEO Lu. I’ll take care of it.”
Lu Gan finally felt relieved.
“How are things there? Did anyone bully Song Ci?”
“Of course not! Everyone is getting along. Moreover, Song Ci is exceeding our expectations!”
“That’s good. She’s very serious about her job. Just make sure everything goes smoothly.”
Lu Gan said a few more words to Yang Haoran before hanging up. The former sighed. He could only hope for the best.
Official filming started once the photoshoot was done.
Director Zhao looked forward to Song Ci’s performance. After all, she surprised him the previous night. Would he be amazed again today?
Song Ci did not know that Director Zhao had high hopes for her.
Anyway, they started filming a scene involving “Tiger” and “He Lian Er”. “Tiger” wanted to ask “He Lian Er” something regarding “He Ying Er”. However, he had wronged “He Ying Er” before so “He Lian Er” refused to cooperate. In the end, “Tiger” and “He Lian Er” almost fought.
Song Ci and Lu Jingming were ready.
Lu Jingming was outplayed by a supporting character last night, so he felt a little uncomfortable and memorized all his lines.
Director Zhao shouted, “Action!”
Song Ci instantly got into character.
Lu Jingming looked at her and frowned ever so slightly. The other cast had average acting skills and only Fu Wenze was better than him. In other words, he should have an easy time. Unexpectedly, Song Ci was overperforming. This caused Lu Jingming to feel pressured.
When they were filming the scene, Lu Jingming was unable to keep up.
“I’m sorry. I can’t remember the lines…”
Forgetting lines was a common occurrence, so Director Zhao did not really mind.
Once Lu Jingming was ready, they resumed filming.
However, it was not long before Director Zhao halted filming again.
“Jingming, you have to express your character’s worry and guilt. A girl is about to commit suicide because of you! Moreover, you like her. Get more emotionally involved. Act vulnerable…”
Lu Jingming nodded with a serious expression. Unfortunately, his performance still did not seem natural at all.
Director Zhao rubbed his temples and turned his attention to Song Ci.
She was smiling, but her eyes clearly had malicious intent. “He Lian Er” stared at “Tiger”, who had his head lowered. Her expression was in line with the mood. “He Lian Er” was purposely lying to “Tiger”. She wanted him to feel guilty. Since things were going her way, she felt satisfied.
From line deliveries to acting, Song Ci was crushing it. There was a huge contrast between her and Lu Jingming.
“Cut!”
In total, they had stopped seven times for this one scene because of Lu Jingming. He could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
Song Ci smiled politely at her co-worker and headed to the resting area.
Lu Jingming stared at her for a long time. Then, he said to his assistant, “Check her previous work.”
