When the director shouted “Begin”, Jiang Yu tightly wrapped herself in her tattered clothes and looked out of the window, but she didn’t know where to look.
This scene was originally set at night, and the director intended to use the moonlight to contrast the helplessness and despair of the character at this time.
However, in order to save time, the director changed the setting to afternoon. Therefore, what shone on Jiang Yu’s face was not the moonlight, but the evening light of the setting sun.
The warm light shone on Jiang Yu’s face, making it seem as if her face was enveloped by the burning clouds in the distance.
At first, the director was a little worried that the evening light would not be able to create that kind of desolate and helpless effect. After all, in such a scene, it was usually a harmonious and warm scene. Such a scene was really rare.
However, reality proved that the director was overthinking it.
Under such a warm light, not only did Jiang Yu manage to grasp the psychology of her character, but her performance was even more lonely and helpless than under the moonlight.
Moreover, Jiang Yu was beautiful. Her dull but sad face was wrapped in the twilight. She looked more like a person from a painting who came to this world but was torn and gnawed on by heartless and greedy people.
“Oh my God… This is simply too beautiful…” The staff standing at the side couldn’t help but sigh. “It really feels like I’m disappointed in this world.”
Li Yue and Qin Yuan were also watching Jiang Yu’s filming. Sun Li was very disdainful when she heard such comments.
However, Li Yue could hide her emotions better in front of outsiders, so she smiled and said, “Yes, Jiang Yu’s acting skills are indeed good.”
However, Qin Yuan was not so generous. She did not even know how to put on an act and immediately frowned, she said, “Is her acting skills good? I think it’s just so-so. It’s just that her face is a little better, which is why you think her acting skills are not bad, right?”
Li Yue looked at her and said, “Being beautiful has nothing to do with her acting skills. She is indeed beautiful, but she is not a vase. Her acting skills are indeed not bad. When I see such an outstanding junior, I am also relieved.”
Qin Yuan smiled disdainfully. “Do you really think so?”
Li Yue did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she looked at Qin Yuan calmly. “What else? I will age too. When the time comes, the entertainment industry will still be dominated by these young people.”
“I really can’t tell that you will submit to being old?” Qin Yuan clicked her tongue. “If not, why do you say that you have been the best actress for two consecutive years? Your acting skills are indeed flawless.”
Li Yue pretended not to understand and asked, “I’m sincerely praising Jiang Yu’s acting skills. Do you think that I’m not sincere?”
Qin Yuan turned her face away. “Who knows if you’re sincere or not.”
Just then, the director shouted, “Cut!”
Jiang Yu came out of the scene and was about to remove her makeup and go home.
The director walked over and praised, “Jiang Yu, that scene just now was really beautiful. There was a sense of loneliness and fragmentation. I have a new movie to prepare. Are you willing to be the female lead?”
Before Jiang Yu could say anything, sister Xia stood up and rejected, “No. You should find someone else to be the female lead. We can’t afford to be the female lead in your movie!”
“Hey, Sister Xia! Don’t be angry…”
Before the director could finish his words, Sister Xia had already brought Jiang Yu to the dressing room to change and remove her makeup.
Jiang Yu didn’t have a good impression of the director, so it didn’t matter whether he filmed movies or TV series.
“I’ll help you reject all the director’s invitations in the future.” Sister Xia gritted her teeth. “Including the wrap party after this movie ends!”
Jiang Yu could tell that sister Xia was very angry about the director cutting the scenes.
So she comforted her, “I only have two scenes in this movie. I’m not even a supporting character, let alone the third female lead. How can a director invite a guest character when he’s treating us to a wrap dinner?”
“But look at him just now. He clearly wants you to be the female lead in his new movie!” Sister Xia was indignant, “If he has the time, he might as well look for Li Yue or Qin Yuan! Why is he looking for you? Don’t tell me he wants to cut out your scenes again?”
Sister Xia was really angry. Her lips were trembling with anger.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Sister Xia, don’t be angry. You heard it just now. The director said that I acted very well in that scene.”
“What’s the use of just relying on that?” Sister Xia said, “I’ll help you take on more work. Before the award list is announced, I’ll let you show your face in front of the public.”
