The first scene ended perfectly. Xiang Yan leaned against the door of the "interrogation room," with several photographers squatting around him. "Clap clap clap," applause rang out behind Lu Wanzheng and Zhong Yunyue.
Zhong Yunyue, who was almost at the end of the corridor, stopped when he heard a "click." He then heard applause behind him and turned to look at the source of the sound.
With a smile on his face and indescribable joy in his heart, Xiang Yan said to Lu Wanzheng, who was closest to him, "You did very well, which I didn't expect. Keep up the good work."
The young girl's demeanor in the interrogation room just now was completely different. She was standing casually in the corner, but in the next second, her temperament changed completely. She became arrogant and domineering. For example, in one scene, when Wei Wan approached Jin Baochuan, there were a few seconds of footage where her face was hidden in the shadows. This scene really tested the actress's inner emotions. Moreover, the moment she looked up, the corners of her eyes were sharp and piercing.
In his opinion, if Lu Wanzheng had met her much earlier, her status in the entertainment industry would be no lower than Zhong Yunyue's now; he would have created a second Zhong Yunyue.
It's not too late now...
"Thank you for your affirmation, guide. I will continue to maintain this." Lu Wanzheng bowed to Xiang Yan.
"Don't call me guide. It makes me feel like I'm a tour guide. Call me Brother Xiang."
"Brother Xiang."
Lu Wanzheng responded quickly, and she also felt that calling someone "guide" sounded unpleasant.
“Your scenes haven’t been too difficult lately, but there are several fight scenes later on. I never use stunt doubles for my scenes, so be prepared. Also, I will have a martial arts instructor teach you, so don’t be too nervous.”
In order to ensure the continuity and realism of the film, all the action scenes in Xiang Yan's films are performed by the actors themselves, which really tests the actors' talent in this area.
Having previous experience with action scenes, Lu Wanzheng was naturally prepared in this regard. "Okay, I will try my best."
After watching Lu Wanzheng's performance, Xiang Yan looked at Zhong Yunyue, who was standing far away, nodded to him, and then went to the room next to the "interrogation room." Inside, their filming equipment was set up. Although he felt good about the scene, he still needed to see the effect displayed on the monitor.
Seeing that most of the people in the corridor had left, Zhong Yunyue walked over to Lu Wanzheng's side. His assistant and agent, Zhai Pingzhou, appeared out of nowhere and handed the two of them two bottles of water. He greeted Lu Wanzheng and then disappeared into some corner.
The corridor was completely dark, with the only light coming from overhead. The overhead light wasn't particularly bright, but it still made Lu Wanzheng's face appear fair.
Zhong Yunyue looked at the water bottle in his hand, then glanced at the water bottle in Lu Wanzheng's hand. He gently twisted the cap off his mineral water bottle and was about to give it to Lu Wanzheng when he saw Lu Wanzheng unscrew the cap herself.
Lu Wanzheng unscrewed the bottle cap, carefully took a sip, and tried her best not to let the lipstick on her lips get on the bottle opening. She didn't notice the actions of the people around her at all.
She took a sip of water to moisten her throat, put the cap back on, and looked around for Xiaohua. She needed Xiaohua to get her water bottle.
Zhong Yunyue held the water bottle and slightly reached out towards Lu Wanzheng. Upon seeing her action, his hand immediately stopped. He had originally intended to help her unscrew the cap, but unexpectedly, Lu Wanzheng unscrewed it herself, not giving him a chance to perform.
He coughed lightly, subtly withdrew his hand, and then calmly drank his water, as if nothing had happened.
"Brother Yue, I'm going to find my assistant now. Thank you for the water," Lu Wanzheng said to Zhong Yunyue with a smile.
The day's filming went smoothly for most of the time. Some takes were completed in one take, while others took three or four. It didn't delay the crew's schedule; in fact, it allowed the crew to wrap up early.
After Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Qifeng finished their meal, they returned to their room. The corner of the room was different from yesterday; there was now a small black suitcase in the corner.
"Is Mr. Xiao going to stay at the hotel for an extended period?" Lu Wanzheng glanced at the corner, then turned to face Xiao Qifeng. Her gaze shifted from the suitcase in the corner to Xiao Qifeng, who was still wearing the same coat he had worn yesterday.
Xiao Qifeng pushed aside the chair next to him and walked towards Lu Wanzheng. "I brought a few changes of clothes. I don't think this is a long stay, just a short one."
Lu Wanzheng pulled Xiao Qifeng to the bedside. The hotel they were staying in was the tallest building in the area. They were on a very high floor, and without the obstruction of other buildings, the lights outside illuminated the way home.
Looking up at the sky, the stars twinkled, and the moonlight was intoxicating. The high-hanging moon cast its light down, as if shrouding the world in a light veil, making it hazy and dreamlike.
Xiao Qifeng draped his clothes over Lu Wanzheng's shoulders, then pulled her into his arms. Lu Wanzheng rested her head on his shoulder, looking out the window.
"The lights of thousands of homes are lit up, and the world still has the brilliance of the night. Among so many lights, there is always one that belongs to you. So, it seems that the world is not so bad."
"Um?"
"A line from the movie that suddenly came to mind after seeing this scene," I said. The line I just mentioned was from the movie and came to me with a feeling. The lights, the family—it seems the world isn't so bad after all.
Xiao Qifeng lowered his head and kissed Lu Wanzheng's forehead. "I will always be with you in this world."
Lu Wanzheng nodded slightly. She looked up at him; his handsome profile, dressed in a black suit, showed he had the potential to be a male model.
"The world is a better place because of you."
In her eyes, there are those who love her and those she loves; this is the most beautiful world.
Lu Wanzheng stared at him for a long time. If she looked any longer, she figured Xiao Qifeng would start flirting with her. She reached out and hugged his waist, gently resting her face against his chest. The first thing she touched was his cool suit jacket, and the chill calmed her slightly flushed face.
Xiao Qifeng chuckled. He loved hearing such sweet words. It seemed he needed to prepare some things in advance.
The windows were tightly closed, but if you stood in front of them for a while, you could still feel the wind coming in through the cracks and blowing on the two people standing at the window.
"Don't stand here, go take a bath," he originally wanted to draw water for Lu Wanzheng so she could take a bath, but he immediately changed his mind. The hotel had a bathtub, but this was a hotel, not home. Even if it was cleaned very thoroughly, there was still some lingering resentment in his heart.
Lu Wanzheng released her arms from Xiao Qifeng, stretched, packed her things, and headed to the bathroom.
