Because she struggled so hard, the rough hemp rope rubbed against her fair wrists, leaving a red mark.
But she seemed to have lost her sense of pain. Her eyes were always fixed on that direction. Her eye sockets were red and tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes.
His shoulders were firmly held, and he couldn't make any sound.
But despite this, she still struggled to break free, and even the blue veins on her slender neck were faintly visible.
“…”
Across the screen, one could feel the girl's despair and heartache.
Outside the camera, no one dared to speak or look away, for fear that any sound would interrupt the scene.
The scene was completely silent, with only the sound of the girl's grief-stricken breathing coming from the radio. They all fell into silence.
If people outside the stadium feel this way, people inside the stadium will feel even worse.
The two actresses who played the maids subconsciously looked at each other when their backs were turned to the camera, sending a message to each other - they were almost unable to hold Sheng Yuan down, and even their movements slowed down for a moment.
Next to him, Gong Cong, who played A Zhao's brother A Longyue, was supposed to look indifferent and cold-blooded throughout the scene, but he lost control and was actually carried away by Sheng Yuan's emotions. There was a bit of reluctance in his eyes, and he had the urge to ask the two actresses to let go of Sheng Yuan.
Fortunately, he had good professional ethics and adjusted himself quickly after realizing the shock.
“…”
I don’t know how much time passed.
Director Hu finally called for a stop. To be honest, the moment they heard the word “cut,” Gong Cong and the two actresses breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Sheng Yuan's emotional outburst was so contagious and caught them off guard that they almost couldn't keep up with the show.
Director Hu was still saying something into the loudspeaker with a faint smile on his face. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the scene, as if he had received an unexpected surprise. The people around him looked at Sheng Yuan with admiration.
Wan Lei stood behind him, her face as colorful as a color palette. That's right, the feeling of being slapped hard in the face would make anyone look unhappy.
After the call to stop, the two actresses immediately helped Sheng Yuan up and untied the ropes on her hands.
It was a real binding, so the process took some effort.
The rope left a glaring red mark on Sheng Yuan's wrist. They cried out, "We need to ask the teacher from the crew to get some medicine to apply on it."
"Thank you, no, it doesn't hurt."
Sheng Yuan drooped her eyelids, her long eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes. Her voice was a little faint, and a crystal tear was still hanging on her cheek, but there was no trace of the outburst she had just had on her body, and she seemed a little silent.
"Wow, you really just... Sheng Yuan, I was almost led astray."
Gong Cong has always been a calm person. He spoke with great excitement and handed over the tissue as he spoke.
"Thank you, but no thanks." Sheng Yuan didn't answer and politely refused again, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Gong Cong slowed down his movements and nodded dryly: "Oh... OK."
Turn your back.
Sheng Yuan's cold expression completely relaxed. She lowered her head slightly, and her eyelashes trembled fragilely.
When filming just now, she seemed to be back in the nightmare of last night.
The green screen elevated platform with full safety measures turned into a cliff again.
The images overlapped strangely, constantly flashing back in her mind. She seemed to see Shi Yan falling towards the cliff in front of her again...
Sheng Yuan left and no one noticed her abnormality.
/ Through the passing crowd, a pair of dark eyes watched the girl's slender figure leave in silence and dejection.
Shi Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and without hesitation, he took a step forward and followed from a distance.
The makeup artist was retouching Gong Cong's makeup. He took the time to turn around and said, "Oh, Teacher Sheng Yuan, she just said she wanted to go to the bathroom."
“…”
There were many actors from other crews passing by. When they saw Shi Yan, they all looked at him in wonder and couldn't suppress their surprise and comments: "It's the actor Shi!"
Shi Yan turned around and left. After thinking for a moment, he took out his cell phone and noticed that there was no reply from her in the message bar. Then he dialed a number.
After a while, the call was connected. During the waiting period, Shi Yan's voice unconsciously became a little anxious.
"Where."
/ The crew rented many empty rooms in the ancient style filming location, either for shooting indoor scenes or for placing props, etc.
Shi Yan was the one who found Sheng Yuan in one of the latter rooms.
This place was probably rented by a fantasy drama crew in the past. The room was decorated in a strange ancient style with wooden vines and branches, and the crew's piled-up wooden boxes of props were placed in no particular order.
Sheng Yuan sat on a step with her knees hugged. She was very quiet, and her slender figure was blocked by the wooden box. If you were not careful, it would be easy to overlook and miss her.
"Sheng Yuan?"
She didn't move.
Shi Yan walked over to her, knelt down on his knees, and asked softly, his tone a little nervous: "What's wrong?"
"Sorry." Sheng Yuan didn't look up, but lowered his head, resting his chin on his knees, causing his voice to be a little low: "My phone is on silent."
She was explaining why she didn't respond to the message.
Shi Yan frowned: "That's not what I'm asking."
He lowered his body, moved closer, looked for her eyes, and asked patiently, "What's wrong? Can you tell me?"
Her eyelashes moved slightly, and Sheng Yuan slowly raised her eyes, meeting a pair of clean, dark eyes.
The same cold eyebrows, straight nose, and beautiful thin lips.
In stark contrast to the cold and unmoved look in the dream, the person in front of him looked at him intently, his eyes caring and gentle. His nerves, which had been tense all the time, suddenly relaxed like a shaky balloon. The soreness in Sheng Yuan's chest reached its peak at this moment, and his nose tip felt sore. Without thinking, he reached out his hand, leaned forward, and hugged Shi Yan.
The hug came unexpectedly, and before Shi Yan could react, his hands had already subconsciously caught her steadily.
He noticed that she seemed to be in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything and just quietly let her hug him.
After a while, he heard her muffled voice intermittently: "...Shi Yan, I saw you fall off the cliff..."
To Sheng Yuan, the words in this sentence were so heavy that she could hardly speak them out. Her voice was unclear and she barely managed to get through it.
But Shi Yan still heard it clearly.
When ordinary people hear this, they will most likely be confused or surprised.
Shi Yan only realized what she was saying and breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked calmly, "Is this why you're unhappy?"
Sheng Yuan buried her head in his shoulders and neck, and nodded dejectedly.
Shi Yan lowered his eyelids, and his eyelashes cast a very faint silhouette on his eyelids.
He quietly lowered his head to allow her to hold him more easily, and began to explain patiently, his voice low, steady and soothing.
"Sheng Yuan, it's fake, it's just a movie."
But it was so real, that nightmare was so real, Sheng Yuan tightened her arms around Shi Yan.
