Chapter 1190: Accident
When everyone heard this, they quickly got into position. Xia Qinghuan changed into a thin set of clothes and walked out of the dressing room. When the night wind blew, she couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver.
However, as if she had already adapted to filming in such a cold climate, Xia Qinghuan’s expression was not too obvious. Instead, she walked straight towards the house in the venue.
“Qinghuan!”
At this moment, the a.s.sistant director walked forward and explained the scene to Xia Qinghuan. “There’s only one scene here, but this scene is very crucial. Otherwise, the director wouldn’t have chosen such a night to film!”
!!“Just sit on the eaves and look at the night sky, the moon, and the stars. But your eyes must give enough emotions and content. You just killed an innocent village woman because she saw the blood on your pants. You were worried that you would be suspected, so you had no choice but to kill her. Before her, you had already killed three people. Think about them carefully. One of them was your stepfather who wanted to rape you, another was a teacher who kept mocking and scolding you, and the last was the village director your mother was forced to give herself to in order to keep her job. These three people deserve to die. You hate each of them, and you have never regretted killing them. However, this village woman differs from these three demons who deserved to die. For the first time, you feel lost and afraid of the future!”
“All emotions can only be shown to the camera through your eyes and your expression. When the time comes, the director will give a close-up. The only requirement is that you can’t cry. Ye Zheng already had no tears when she first killed someone! The trials of life no longer allow her to reveal her weak side. This way, the audience will feel even more heartache for this role. Do you understand?”
Xia Qinghuan nodded. “I understand, Director!”
Although the director’s instructions gave Xia Qinghuan some inspiration for the role to a certain extent, at the same time, the pressure in her heart increased.
This seemingly simple scene of sitting and looking at the sky was obviously the most difficult scene to film so far.
Because there were no lines but only complicated emotions to support it, this was undoubtedly the performance that tested one’s form of acting the most for an actor.
Under everyone’s gaze, Xia Qinghuan carefully climbed up the stairs to the roof. When her palm touched the cold tiles, Xia Qinghuan became much more awake.
After she sat down at the seat the director had specified, she raised her head slightly to look at the half moon in the sky and gathered her emotions.
A camera floated in the air and slowly advanced towards Xia Qinghuan’s face. It gradually magnified her expression on the surveillance screen in front of the director.
Director Cloony looked at Xia Qinghuan in the camera with a serious expression. The scene was silent. No one dared to say anything. They were all waiting for Qinghuan to enter her emotions.
After a while, seeing the content in Xia Qinghuan’s eyes gradually appear, Director Cloony quickly nodded at the camera director and gestured for him to start.
He didn’t hit the clapperboard because he was afraid that the external sound would affect Qinghuan, who had entered her state. The camera had already started recording.
Xia Qinghuan maintained a posture and looked at the moon in the icy wind without moving. Her eyes were no longer as innocent and beautiful as Ye Zheng’s early days. Instead, turbulent undercurrents, struggles, and helplessness filled them.
Perhaps the people at the side could not see such surging emotions from afar, but the director and the surrounding people could.
A smile gradually appeared on Director Cloony’s lips. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Xia Qinghuan’s performance. She had a very good grasp of the role. She believed in her role and believed that she was Ye Zheng.
Only if an actor believed the role they were playing would the audience believe this story. On this point, Xia Qinghuan had done very well!
However, this emotion could not be maintained for too long. The more intense the struggle in her heart, the easier it was for Xia Qinghuan, as an actress, to gradually lose control when she was into the performance. Slowly, tears appeared in her eyes and looked like they were about to fall!
Seeing this, Director Cloony quickly shouted, “Cut!”
She could not cry. Otherwise, the image of Ye Zheng’s character built in the early stages would collapse with her tears!
As soon as Director Cloony finished speaking, everyone turned around. Xia Qinghuan s.h.i.+vered but sat on the roof without moving. This was because she knew that with Director Cloony’s habit, even if she completed the first time well, she would have to do it a second time or even more.
Moreover, Xia Qinghuan felt tears rolling down her face just now. The director probably wouldn’t use this first take.
On the other hand, the director gave the a.s.sistant director a few instructions. Then, the a.s.sistant director ran to under the roof and shouted at Qinghuan, “Qinghuan, your emotions were right just now. It was very good! Control yourself later and extend the shot. It’ll then be perfect. Let’s do it again!”
Xia Qinghuan nodded and made an OK gesture, showing that she understood!
Outside the filming area, because Jian Ai had mental cultivation techniques, she could see more clearly than others. Qinghuan’s gaze just now surprised her. She had not even read the original novel, but she could see many heartbreaking content in her eyes.
However, even so, it did not completely satisfy the director. Jian Ai couldn’t help but sigh at how amateur she was!
Again, again, and again!
This scene might only stay on the cinema’s big screen for only over ten seconds, but it took two hours to film. Xia Qinghuan’s neck was sore from the filming.
When the last round ended, Director Cloony nodded comfortably and praised in broken Chinese, “Good, very good!”
Seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The stage supervisor gestured for Xia Qinghuan to come down from the roof.
“Oh my, this scene took so long.” Seeing that they had finally filmed this scene, Guan Tao couldn’t help but sigh.
Yan Tian came to visit every week. When he heard that, he couldn’t help but say, “This scene is indeed a little long. It should be an important scene. It’s too far away, so we can’t see it clearly. When it’s released, let’s go to the cinema to watch it!”
Jian Ai smiled and nodded. When the time comes, she would book the entire venue to support Qinghuan’s new movie.
However, as they were talking, Qinghuan’s scream suddenly came from the venue!
Because she had sat on the cold roof without moving for two hours, Qinghuan’s lower body had already gone completely numb. Just as she was about to stand up, her entire lower body went limp, and she almost completely lost consciousness. She lost weight on the roof and instantly fell!
Initially, a staff member was going up to help Qinghuan, but all of this happened so suddenly that no one expected it. Jian Ai and the rest did not react. When they looked over, Qinghuan had already fallen from the four-meter-tall roof to the ground!
