Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Ran had been waiting for the opportunity to act with movie queen Li Yue. She hoped that she could use this opportunity to learn acting skills.
‘When she finally got to act against Li Yue, Jiang Ran was very excited. She took the script and planned to discuss the plot with Li Yue.
“Movie queen, have a look here. This is my scene with you. How do you think I can act better?” Jiang Ran asked meekly, as if she was indeed asking for advice on acting skills.
Li Yue did not look at part circled on Jiang Ran’s script in red, she said plainly, “Try to figure out the character’s character yourself. Don’t always ask others. The opinions of others will affect your thinking. This will cause you to make mistakes in the following filming.”
Li Yue’s tone was sterner when she said this, but it was also the truth.
Jiang Ran felt that Li Yue was putting on the airs of a movie queen and lecturing her.
Li Yue went to the makeup room to touch up her makeup, but Jiang Ran was still secretly angry on the spot.
“What movie queen? What’s the difference between doing this and those who act like big shots?” Jiang Ran gritted her teeth hatefully and turned around to return to her resting position.
In the afternoon, her manager was going to shoot the scene between Jiang Ran and Li Yue.
‘The third female lead played by Jiang Ran was the second sister of Chu Xiao played by Li Yue. Her name was Chu Xuan.
In this scene, Chu Xuan framed Chu Xiao for stealing her bracelet. The mistress of the Chu family sent people to punish Chu Xiao severely.
Li Yue knelt on the ground and did not even raise her head.
Jiang Ran was arrogant and looked down at Li Yue who was on the ground. She said, “A thief like you has appeared in the Chu family. It’s really unfortunate for the family! Someone, please invite the mistress over!”
‘The servant-like person ran over to get mistress, while Li Yue played Chu Xiao. She raised her head and looked coldly at Chu Xuan who was played by Jiang Ran.
This was originally a plot in the script, but when Jiang Ran saw the look in Li Yue’s eyes, she felt that there was something wrong with her. She had angered Li Yue and that was why she was looking at her like that.
Hence, Jiang Ran was so scared that she forgot her lines.
Cut! The director was originally very satisfied with Jiang Ran’s performance, but before he could praise her, something happened on her side.
“Jiang Ran, what’s wrong with you?” The director did not want to lose his temper with this newcomer, so he asked nicely first, “Why did something happen?”
Jiang Ran also knew that the situation just now was her fault, so she could only bow and admit her mistake. “I’m sorry, Director. I got it. I’ll be able to adjust my emotions soon.”
After receiving Jiang Ran’s apology, the director had no choice but to let it go.
After all, she was a newbie actress. If she was too harsh and harsh on her, it might affect her thoughts and emotions.
If that was the case, it was very likely that there would be problems in the ensuing filming.
Therefore, the director decided to give Jiang Ran a chance to catch her breath first and let her adjust her emotions first so that she would try her best to avoid making mistakes in the filming.
Jiang Ran took a few deep breaths and after she had adjusted her emotions, she said to the director, “Alright Director, I think I can continue filming.”
The director gestured for the camera to be in position and continued filming.
However, even though Jiang Ran felt that she would not make any mistakes, Li Yue was after all the movie queen and her strength and aura were obvious.
Even though Jiang Ran forced herself to imagine that Li Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, was Jiang Yu, the moment Li Yue raised her head and Jiang Ran met her cold gaze, she would forget what she was going to say next.
Cut! The director was really getting impatient this time.
He shouted at Jiang Ran, “Jiang Ran! What’s wrong with you? Can you still act? There are already so many times has it been, and you still forgot your lines? If you delay the filming progress, can you bear the responsibility? !”
Jiang Ran also knew that it was her own fault that caused the filming crew to shoot over time and she didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
In the following filming, Jiang Ran tried her best not to look at Li Yue’s eyes and she stammered out her lines.
Even though the effect of the filming was completely different from what she had expected, the director still let this line pass.
It was better than just now, when Jiang Ran kept forgetting her lines and couldn’t find her mood..
