However, Su Jiu continued to prove her wrong.
She asked the director if they could film her scenes first. The director readily agreed. In fact, they had already intended to film the scenes involving the young male and female leads today. Therefore, the director immediately asked someone to prepare the set.
The makeup artist gave Su Jiu a costume change and dressed her in a simple, worn red dress. The scene was set in a village.
This drama was a period drama and also a fantasy drama. The female lead, Luo Jiu, was born in a poor but peaceful village, where she lived with her grandmother.
The first scene they filmed was a heartwarming scene of the grandmother and granddaughter. The little girl leaned in the old lady’s arms and giggled, showing off the butterfly she caught. The old lady lovingly looked at her and released the butterfly with her.
The days were simple and beautiful. However, nobody expected this little girl to be the reincarnation of a spirit girl with a secret power. The Demon Realm soon learned that the reincarnated spirit girl was in this village. To find her, the demons cruelly slaughtered the entire village, including her grandmother.
That day, Little Luo Jiu happened to run to the forest outside the village to again catch butterflies. When she returned, she had been carrying a big fish and thinking about how she was going to cook for her grandma tonight. She happily quickened her pace.
Su Jiu carried the fish and skipped forward. She acted so vividly.
However, when she returned to the village, she saw the entire place set ablaze. Corpses were littered everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
Such a scene had to be added with special effects in the later stages of production. Right now, in front of Su Jiu, there was no chaos of any sort. Everything was normal.
Yet, on the camera, the director could clearly see that the little girl seemed to have seen something terrifying. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her face turned pale!
He was a little surprised. Little Jiu’s reaction is pretty good.
It’s too natural!
The little girl walked into the village, frightened and at a loss. Tears quickly filled her big eyes. She looked around at the “dead people,” her small body trembling. She called out in a choked voice, “Grandma?
“Grandma… where are you?
“Grandma, come out quickly. Luo’er is scared… Grandma!”
The little girl couldn’t find her grandmother no matter how hard she tried. Her eyes turned red, and because of her extreme fear, her tears fell. She hurriedly raised her small hands to wipe them away and continued her search for her grandmother.
The moment Su Jiu cried, her fear and determination made the eyes of the female staff members turn red. Although the men in the room did not cry, they were moved nonetheless.
The little girl stumbled forward. She got even more afraid when she saw a “dead person,” but she could not stop her determination to find her grandmother.
At this moment, the director shouted, “Cut!” He did not ask Su Jiu to reshoot. Instead, he quickly moved on to the next scene and said, “Little Jiu, imagine a monster appearing in front of you. It’s going to eat you. You have to pretend to be scared and run. As you run, you will fall. Do you understand?”
“Fall?” Su Shengjing immediately looked at the director and narrowed his eyes. His aura suddenly became dangerous.
The director dryly laughed and quickly explained, “Don’t worry! Don’t worry. It’ll be fine. She’ll just fall onto the sponge cushion.”
Su Shengjing nodded when he saw the staff members laying a sponge cushion on the ground. That’s more like it.
Su Jiu again performed her scene pretty well. She screamed in fear and fled in a panic, making people want to rush over and save her.
