Chapter 353: Passed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Director Sun Li heard Yu Han’s words, he expressed that he was not surprised. “It’s normal. Who asked you to get this guy?”
As a young actor, Ji Jun’s aura was even stronger than some veteran actors, especially when he went all out. Ordinary newcomers would indeed not be able to withstand him.
Director Sun Li encouraged Yu Han. “It’s alright. Let’s walk around a few times first and slowly get used to it.” Anyway, digital cameras were used to film movies now, and it was not as wasteful as in the past. Hence, the cost of filming was much lower, and it also gave actors more opportunities to test and make mistakes.
Ji Jun also glanced at Yu Han and clicked his tongue unhappily. “Aren’t you usually the boldest? You’ve never been afraid of me. Why have you suddenly become so timid?”
Hearing this familiar and annoying voice, Yu Han also came out of her emotions. She glanced at him. “Who said I’m afraid of you? I just haven’t adapted to it yet.”
After the set was ready again, Yu Han returned to the first set. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After adjusting her emotions and mentally preparing herself, she nodded slightly at the camera to tell the director that she was ready.
Director Sun Li received the signal and immediately shouted, “Action!”
The next second, Yu Han opened her eyes and transformed into the weak yet tenacious Liu Mei.
This time, Ji Jun’s performance was still very stable, and Yu Han was no longer affected by him. She could finally successfully take on this scene.
Director Sun Li shouted, “Cut!” He looked at the scene he had just filmed a few times on the camera monitors. He focused on Yu Han’s performance and finally nodded. “Yes, Little Yu did well this time. The scene passed.”
As for Ji Jun, his acting skills had always been passable, so he was not worthy of his concern.
The director clapped his hands. “Then let’s film from another angle.”
In order to make it easier to edit later, the same scene usually had to be filmed from different angles a few times. This way, more scenes could show the drama’s conflict and highlight all kinds of details.
On the other hand, the director with high requirements would ask for another one after filming a few scenes. The so-called “one more layer of protection” was because there would be trouble during the editing even when the material was lost.
Hence, the simple interrogation scene that took less than a minute took more than half an hour to film.
The next scene was to film Yu Han committing suicide and Ji Jun rushing over to stop her.
The plot of the suicide had not been changed, so Yu Han still acted according to the method she had practiced. As for the scene when Gu Su rushed over and wanted to stop her, Yu Han had already thought about how to act it out.
After the director’s “Action”, Gu Su watched as Liu Mei drew a scalpel out from her wrist and stabbed it into her chest without hesitation. He was shocked for a moment before he rushed over at a fast speed.
However, he was still a moment too late. With a puff, the sharp scalpel pierced into Liu Mei’s chest. A trace of frustration and an inexplicable emotion flashed across Gu Su’s face.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the next second, Liu Mei spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, her eyes landed on his face and the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile.
In Gu Su’s impression, Liu Mei had always been slender and weak. Even when she smiled, she would purse her lips and smile shyly. However, at this moment, the smile on Liu Mei’s face was relaxed, relieved, and filled with joy.
Before she died, Liu Mei finally abandoned all her identities and existed as her true self. She was no longer like a rat in a ditch, living in the dark. She was no longer an assassin with the code name 532, nor was she a spy who hid in different places and was on tenterhooks all day long. She could not see the light and wore all kinds of fake names to put on a show.
Her name was Liu Mei. This was the name her parents gave her. It was also the name she used the second time she stood in front of Gu Su and introduced herself to him. She hesitated for a second before saying her name.
Gu Su met Liu Mei’s eyes and was pierced by her burning gaze. He was stunned for a moment and instinctively closed his eyes. He grabbed Liu Mei’s hand and exerted some strength.
In the next second, Liu Mei closed her eyes and stopped breathing. Her body went limp. Gu Su hurriedly pulled, but she didn’t expect to pull off the wristband Liu Mei had been wearing. The familiar birthmark on her wrist was exposed in front of him.
Gu Su’s pupils were constricted. A memory from seven years ago attacked his heart..
