Chapter 384 Shura Field (Part 1)
These days, they mainly filmed the scenes of Chen Zhichu and Zheng Xiao. The filming started very early in the morning. Xia Yanyue wanted to have a beauty sleep, so the filming time was moved to the afternoon. This made Wang Xiangrong more and more dissatisfied, and he was not very nice to her.
Xia Yanyue came over temporarily after putting on some makeup. She only knew that the investors wanted to see her act, but she didn't know which part she was going to act.
She was nervous and felt guilty so she didn't dare to ask more questions. She glanced at Shen Zhichu the moment she came in, and kept her head down and glanced around the whole time. This was not like her at all.
Even the producer, who was so careless, noticed something was amiss, but now he had no time to worry about Xia Yanyue. He said to Li Jingshen and Lu Tingchuan, "Boss Li, Boss Lu, Yan Yue is here."
Lu Tingchuan glanced casually at her face, and he half-closed his eyes and looked at her face: Interesting.
"You guys start working, and act out the scene where you're being raped by beggars."
"What?!" Xia Yanyue exclaimed. She was also familiar with the script, so she naturally knew which scene Lu Tingchuan was talking about.
In the original script, Zhao Jinyu was surrounded by five or six beggars and almost lost her reputation. Her clothes were torn and her hair was pulled apart, making her look very embarrassed.
Xia Yanyue disdained to act out this kind of drama with these passers-by. The thought of their dirty hands touching her body made Xia Yanyue get goose bumps all over her body.
She had this kind of scene in her previous film, but she replaced it all with a stand-in. With the stand-in, she could make the fake scene look real without any problem.
"Don't you want to take pictures?" Lu Tingchuan took the cigarette handed to him by his assistant and lit it. He held it in one hand and flicked the non-existent dust off his suit pants with the other hand. He looked at the stiff expression on Xia Yanyue's face leisurely.
Lu Tingchuan had a strong aura, and coupled with Xia Yanyue's inherent fear of this man, she found it difficult to refute him for a moment.
Relying on others at the scene is also relying on others to get on.
The extras were ready, wearing beggar's clothes and dirty makeup on their faces.
The makeup artist was very skilled, and at first glance I really thought he was a beggar. I could smell a smell before I even got close.
Wang Xiangrong became active at this time. Without being reminded, he immediately asked the staff to set up the camera and start shooting.
I didn't know Xia Yanyue before, but these past few days I've gotten to know her character. They say she's dedicated to her work, and if she were, there wouldn't be any lazy people in the world. If the investors hadn't specifically asked her to film this segment today, she would definitely have a body double in the next two days.
"Xia Yanyue, get ready and start right away."
——“action!”
As Wang Xiangrong's voice rang out, Xia Yanyue had to adjust her state.
Everything seemed easy at first, until she walked into the ancient alley arranged by the crew.
Li Jingshen had no interest in Xia Yanyue's acting skills, but Lu Tingchuan moved his position to the director's position.
On the surface, he was enjoying the scene, but in reality, he was watching a previously filmed video of Shen Zhichu's scenes.
Li Jingshen heard the noise, hesitated for a moment, and then followed over to see.
Smelling the smoke coming from Lu Tingchuan's direction, he couldn't help coughing twice, and finally understood how painful it was for Shen Zhichu to be with him.
The assistant director took a glass of warm water and handed it over, and Li Jingshen reached out to take the glass.
The Shen Zhichu in the play is very different from the real life. Even though he is very familiar with her, he still loses his mind when he sees her acting, as if she is really a character in the play.
Xia Yanyue glanced over and her nose was almost crooked with anger: Since you let her act, why don’t you even look at her?
The scene entered its climax smoothly and easily. The beggar in the extras reached out his hand to Xia Yanyue, who screamed and fell to the ground.
Her voice was so unpleasant, as harsh as the annoying chirping of cicadas in summer.
Lu Tingchuan frowned and looked over, almost laughing out loud. What the hell was this performance?
Although it was eye-catching, Lu Tingchuan did not call for a stop until the director called out "Cut" and everyone's eyes turned to him at the same time.
"You guys just yell a few words when you're filming this kind of movie? She's such a bad actress and she's the leading actress. I feel bad about the little money I invested."
The producer's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Xia Yanyue with some resentment, then bent over and explained to Lu Tingchuan, "Mr. Lu, Yanyue might not be in a good mood today. How about changing the clip?"
"No." Lu Tingchuan crossed his legs and slouched in his chair, looking very nonchalant. "I want to watch this segment today, then continue filming and reshooting until I'm satisfied. I'll cover all the crew's losses today. Director Wang, let's begin."
Wang Xiangrong also felt that the previous scene was not performed well enough. Since it had to be reshot, he might as well reshoot it. After all, someone was paying for it, so he could also give Xia Yanyue a try.
The makeup artist came forward and quickly fixed the makeup on Xia Yanyue's face, not giving her a chance to breathe. Xia Yanyue gritted her teeth and didn't feel anything even when her nails dug into her flesh.
She was forced to act it out again. Although she wanted to quickly adjust her state and continue acting, she was always interrupted by Lu Tingchuan.
"Try again, the slap wasn't loud enough."
"The spit didn't hit my face."
"It seems I didn't use enough force. Why didn't you even scream?"
It's not that she didn't scream, but her voice was hoarse. Xia Yanyue was in a mess and was slapped several times. It was summer now and the temperature had not dropped below 35 degrees. Xia Yanyue was sweating, her long hair stuck to her back, and she kept putting on makeup to act out this scene.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Tingchuan was deliberately making things difficult for Xia Yanyue.
The audience couldn't help but frown when they saw Xia Yanyue like this. They were also a little puzzled. After all, Xia Yanyue was a TVB Best Actress. How could she remain silent when Lu Tingchuan targeted her like this? She was really able to endure it.
It's not that Xia Yanyue can't bear it, but she has to bear it. This little humiliation is nothing. Compared with Lu Tingchuan's torture methods, what she has suffered is just a drop in the bucket. Think about how Shen Zhichu became a cripple and almost turned into a fool in his hands.
In order to keep calm for a while, Xia Yanyue could only act out this scene over and over again until Lu Tingchuan was satisfied.
People around began to murmur.
"Didn't they say that the investors invested in this drama because of Xia Yanyue? Why doesn't that seem to be the case?"
"At the launch party, Xia Yanyue even tacitly agreed to the investor's pursuit of her. This kind of pursuit was unprecedented and ordinary people wouldn't be able to bear it."
"What a huge face! Maybe it's thicker than a city wall?"
Zheng Xiao uttered a "tsk" sound, unable to bear the sight of Xia Yanyue's red face. He whispered to Shen Zhichu, "Fortunately, we're not being asked to act together. If it were me... I would have quit acting. I couldn't handle this kind of insult."
Chen Zhichu didn't say anything, but he had to say that Xia Yanyue could still endure it even at this point. He really didn't know whether to call her stupid or praise her for being able to bend and stretch.
But there was one thing that Shen Zhichu couldn't understand, which was why Lu Tingchuan targeted Xia Yanyue.
Could it be that it was to avenge "her"?
Shen Zhichu sneered. "The person is dead. What's the use of doing this now?" These two are really brothers. They only know how to cherish after losing something.
She glanced over there inadvertently, but was caught by Lu Tingchuan.
Lu Tingchuan is not as patient as Li Jingshen. He came here today just to take Shen Zhichu away.
"Call Shen Zhichu over and let her sit next to me."
Li Jingshen traced the edge of the glass with his fingertips, his expression unfriendly. He was always very tolerant and never showed his emotions on his face, but Zhao Qian on the side knew that Li Jingshen was suppressing his anger at the moment.
Li Jingshen regretted many things he had done, and one of them was that he did not accept the substitute that Lu Tingchuan sent to his bed.
If he had let that substitute stay with him from the beginning, then Shen Zhichu might still be with him now.
It won't be like now, where we are so close yet so far away, and we won't be in such a rigid triangle relationship.
I can't bear to let her go if she's too far away, but I'm worried that she might be in danger if I'm too close.
Lu Tingchuan's voice was heard clearly by everyone around him, including Shen Zhichu who had hidden herself in the corner. She did not move, but the person standing next to her was more excited than she was.
“Chen Zhichu, the investor wants you to come over.” His tone was full of sourness.
Zheng Xiao became a little worried when he saw Shen Zhichu's increasingly ugly expression.
Shen Zhichu knew that she couldn't escape today, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to escape later, so she sent a "help" text message to Bai Qiujing.
"I'm having trouble on the set. Find someone to pick me up."
After quickly sending the text message, she put her phone down.
