Chapter 860 Forget those painful scenes
The film crew has wrapped up work.
Le Yan returned to the small suite accompanied by Lin Xiangyu and A Xia.
In the small suite, Le Yan was curled up on the sofa, hugging her knees with her arms, looking blank.
Lin Xiangyu fetched a basin of warm water and helped her remove her makeup.
Throughout the entire process, Le Yan remained quiet.
Lin Xiangyu was extremely worried.
She kept talking to Le Yan, but Le Yan didn't respond at all.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
A-Xia went over and opened the door.
Outside the door were Yu Changze and counselor Zhao Qing.
"Director Yu, Teacher Zhao," Xia greeted them.
Yu Changze: "How is Le Yan?"
A-Xia shook her head, "It's still not getting better."
Zhao Qing frowned. "I'll go in and check on her."
A-Xia stepped aside to make way.
Yu Changze and Zhao Qing walked into the house together.
Upon seeing Yu Changze and Zhao Qing, Lin Xiangyu immediately stood up and greeted them, "Director Yu, Teacher Zhao."
Zhao Qing nodded slightly to Lin Xiangyu, "I'll check on Le Yan first."
Lin Xiangyu sniffed and moved a little to the side.
Zhao Qing squatted down in front of Le Yan.
She looked into Le Yan's eyes and said in a very gentle tone, "Le Yan, do you remember me?"
There was still no response from Le Yan.
"Chen Amei?"
Upon hearing this name, Le Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Zhao Qing noticed her subtle reaction, pursed her lips and sighed, "You are not Chen Amei, your name is Leyan. Chen Amei is just a fictional character. You are Lin Leyan, Lin Leyan from Xiaohai Village."
Le Yan frowned, her empty eyes finally focusing again.
She finally saw Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing smiled at her, "Now can you tell me your name?"
Le Yan's eyelashes fluttered a few times before she slowly spoke, "My name is Le Yan, Lin Le Yan."
"Yes, your name is Le Yan. Look at your friend next to you; she's worried about you."
Upon hearing this, Le Yan turned her head to look in the direction Zhao Qing was looking—
Lin Xiangyu was looking at her, her eyes red and swollen from crying, looking utterly pathetic and pitiful.
Le Yan frowned. "Xiang Yu? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
Upon hearing Le Yan's words, Lin Xiangyu could no longer hold back and burst into tears!
"You scared me to death!" She rushed over and hugged Le Yan tightly. "If I had known acting was so dangerous, I wouldn't have supported you in acting. Yan Yan, we won't do these dangerous plays anymore, we won't do them again..."
Le Yan finally realized what was happening.
It seems she's once again letting down her and causing those around her worry.
A sudden feeling of helplessness welled up inside me.
But in order not to make everyone continue to worry, she could only pretend to be strong and hug Lin Xiangyu.
She gently patted Lin Xiangyu's back: "I'm fine, aren't I? Don't cry, or people will laugh at you."
Lin Xiangyu released her and carefully examined her.
Le Yan smiled at her, "What? You don't believe me?"
"I was afraid you'd get hurt!" Lin Xiangyu sniffed and said, "Yangyang, do you know how scary you are on set?"
Feeling guilty, Le Yan then said, "I just couldn't detach myself from the story for a moment, but I can still distinguish between reality and fantasy. It's just that I acted too realistically, and now I'm a little tired."
"Then you should get some rest!" Lin Xiangyu said. "Shall I take you back to your room?"
Le Yan nodded and looked at Zhao Qing: "Teacher Zhao, I'm so sorry to trouble you again."
Zhao Qing looked at Le Yan, hesitating to speak.
But Le Yan had already stood up and said to Lin Xiangyu, "I'm going back to sleep now."
"Okay, I'll take you inside." Lin Xiangyu led Le Yan towards the room.
As she passed by Yu Changze, Yu Changze called out to Le Yan.
"Xiao Yan, are you alright?"
Le Yan stopped and nodded firmly to Yu Changze: "Director Yu, don't worry, I'm fine now."
Yu Changze was still a little worried. "You have a day off tomorrow, so get some rest."
"A holiday?" Le Yan smiled. "I'm fine, I can really continue filming."
"It's not that I gave you a special break; it just so happens that other actors also need to film some additional scenes."
Upon hearing this, Le Yan nodded, "I see. If you need me to film something temporarily, please let me know."
"Don't worry, just go and rest."
Le Yan nodded in agreement and turned to go into the room.
Lin Xiangyu stayed with Le Yan until Le Yan closed her eyes and fell asleep before Lin Xiangyu came out of the room.
Yu Changze and Zhao Qing are still here.
Lin Xiangyu closed the door.
Zhao Qing instructed, "This kind of acting style is very mentally taxing for Le Yan. It would be best to have her learn to change her acting style in the future, otherwise it is easy for something to go wrong. She was lucky this time, but next time, it may not be so."
Yu Changze looked serious. "It's my fault. I should have thought things through more carefully. I knew that Le Yan's acting style was risky, but I still chose this scene."
"Director Yu, it's not your fault, but after this experience, I'm really scared. So I hope you can consider Yanyan more in the future. She actually had some bad experiences when she was young, and she already faces a lot of psychological pressure when filming these kinds of scenes..."
"Her childhood experiences?" Zhao Qing frowned. "Could you be more specific?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I do know that when Leyan was thirteen, something happened. Uncle Lin lost a fishing boat, and Leyan was injured and hospitalized as a result."
Upon hearing this, Yu Changze seemed to be deep in thought.
...
After Le Yan fell asleep, her dreams were filled with those terrifying images.
She woke up in the middle of the night, her whole body soaked in sweat.
She sat up, looked at the dimly lit room, and tears streamed down her face.
Those emotions about Chen Amei haunted her like ghosts, and the dark alleyway kept replaying in her mind.
Those rough hands, and that arrogant, demonic laughter that kept echoing in her ears—
Le Yan covered her head, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Forget it, she must forget those painful images as soon as possible!
Leyan, in a painful state of self-hypnosis, unknowingly fell asleep again.
I woke up the next day at noon.
Yao Jia arrived this morning after receiving the news. She first met with Yu Changze to learn more, and then met with Shi Yuwei in person.
The attitude is very clear: no more last-minute script changes will be accepted. Even if changes are necessary, please communicate with her, the agent, first.
Shi Yuwei was very humble and said that she had not thought things through and was willing to apologize and accept Yao Jia's suggestions.
Yao Jia wasn't the type to hold a grudge. After communicating with Yu Changze and Shi Yuwei, she hurriedly went to the small suite where Le Yan was staying.
...
When Yao Jia entered the house, Le Yan was having lunch.
Plain congee with preserved radish.
"Is this all you're feeding them?" Yao Jia glanced at A Xia and Lin Xiangyu. "How are you taking care of people? They won't get enough nutrition from just this much food."
Ah Xia and Lin Xiangyu pursed their lips and lowered their heads.
Seeing this, Le Yan quickly explained, "Sister Yao, don't blame them. I insisted on eating this myself. I really didn't have an appetite. I just wanted to drink some porridge and eat some preserved radish. Besides, this part of the storyline hasn't been finished yet, and I need to maintain my weight. So eating like this is fine. It satisfies my craving without the risk of gaining weight."
Hearing this, Yao Jia glared at her and said, "You only care about them, but you don't care about yourself. What's the point of making so much money if you don't take care of your health?"
Le Yan just smiled and said, "I've been taking my Chinese medicine on time every day, and my health has improved a lot recently."
“I can’t argue with you!” Yao Jia walked to the sofa and sat down. “I told Shi Yuwei that from now on, any script revisions must be approved by me. You’re too good-natured. Shi Yuwei has revised this movie enough since we started negotiating the contract. I actually think the effect is about the same whether it’s revised or not. I don’t know what’s wrong with her, she just has to keep going back and forth like this…”
Le Yan listened quietly to Yao Jia's protective remarks.
It's always a good thing to have someone protecting you.
But we can't miss any of the scenes that need to be filmed.
There are still a dozen or so scenes left to film in Jingfeng Town, and they must be completed this May.
For the next week, Le Yan filmed almost day and night.
Zhao Qing stayed at the scene every day, fearing that Le Yan would experience the same situation as last time.
Fortunately, the filming of Le Yan's subsequent scenes went smoothly.
Everything was peaceful.
Everyone's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
But an accident still happened.
After filming a scene where someone falls into the sea that day, Yu Changze was worried that Le Yan's body couldn't handle it, so he called it a day early and let everyone go home to rest.
Leyan returned to her room, washed her hair and took a shower. After drying her hair, she went straight to bed and fell asleep.
Lin Xiangyu came in to check on her, and seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, she left the room with peace of mind.
At dinner time, Leyan woke up, drank some porridge, then said she was sleepy and went back to her room to sleep again.
Lin Xiangyu would go in to check on her every now and then. Fortunately, Le Yan didn't have a fever. She guessed that she must have exhausted herself from the water scene today.
...
At two o'clock in the morning, the door to Le Yan's room quietly opened.
Le Yan walked out from inside, wearing a white dress.
Her eyes were vacant, as if she were in a dream, and she walked forward step by step.
Reaching the entrance to the small suite, she opened the door and went out—
