Chapter 113 Unexpectedly, I helped him.
"You're also... curious and came to visit?" Chu Xinglan changed the subject. Who in their right mind would come here to visit in the middle of the night...?
He remained silent. In the moonlight, his eyes shone exceptionally brightly as he gazed at her without uttering a word.
"It's getting late, I'm going home." Chu Xinglan felt a little guilty, even thinking that she would make a mistake if she said anything more, so she simply said nothing and ran away.
"On your marks, stunt doubles, get ready!"
Lu Yuan was now fully prepared.
Chu Xinglan watched Lu Yuan, who was about to be hung up, with some nervousness, hoping that even a little bit would have an effect and take his life. This was what he owed her!
At this critical moment, Director Huang suddenly said, "Stop for a moment, check the equipment first, and make sure the actors are safe."
Director Huang is a meticulous person. He would never allow any actor in his crew to have any mishaps, and he always puts the safety of the actors first.
After a thorough search by the crew, they found the loose screw and tightened it completely.
Chu Xinglan's hopes of causing an accident to happen to Lu Yuan were dashed, and she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
She watched Lu Yuan float and turn in the air, his movements as fluid as flowing water.
"Chu Xinglan, get ready, it's your turn!" Director Huang shouted to Chu Xinglan through the loudspeaker.
Helpless, Chu Xinglan had no choice but to take her sword and go into battle. She stood beside Lu Yuan, surrounded by people chasing them.
"Don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you!" Lu Yuan turned around and said to her.
Chu Xinglan smiled coldly, her hatred for Lu Yuan concentrated on the prop sword in her hand, and she thrust it fiercely towards Lu Yuan's waist as if it were a real sword.
This prop won't actually kill anyone, but it will definitely cause pain.
Lu Yuan screamed and turned around to look at Chu Xinglan in disbelief.
"Why...why?" Lu Yuan asked subconsciously.
For some reason, he sensed a strong hatred in Chu Xinglan's eyes, both before and now.
"It's all because of you that my child is gone. If it weren't for you... because of you..."
Chu Xinglan's eyes were filled with tears.
Everyone present was stunned, including Director Huang, but he didn't yell "cut." He suddenly felt that the expressions of the two men were too real and too shocking, which even gave him a sudden idea and made him reject the original plan.
That's fantastic! The acting was superb. Even though the new actor changed the script at the last minute, he did a great job, a brilliant one.
"Props team, apply blood to the lead actor!"
A short while later, the lead actor, covered in blood, was replaced by a stabbed man standing in front of Chu Xinglan.
Upon seeing the stranger before her, Chu Xinglan calmed herself down and composed herself.
"No, Chu Xinglan, you should maintain the emotions you were in just now. You feel that the male lead is the one who caused you to suffer all of this. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been chased and forced to flee everywhere. You even lost your only child with the male lead. You love him, but you also hate him. You need to release these emotions. Just now, you only acted out the hatred, but you didn't act out the complex emotions of loving and hating at the same time!"
"Director, I'm sorry, I can't act out feelings of both love and hate."
Chu Xinglan gave a wry smile.
She only felt hatred for that person, how could she possibly have any love for him? And the person in front of her wasn't someone she hated, so how could she act out such intense hatred?
"Why can't you act it out? You were doing so well just now! Wasn't that deep-seated hatred very powerful?" Director Huang seemed very insistent on this newly revised plot, and he really wanted the actors to continue acting.
Chu Xinglan was afraid that a vehement denial would arouse suspicion, so she said tactfully, "I have a bad habit, which is that once I find the right feeling with one person in an acting role, if I switch to another person, it just won't feel the same. I'm sorry, I can't bring out that kind of emotion in a second actor."
"You... you do have some talent for acting, but not much..." Director Huang was a little embarrassed by her.
If Lu Yuan were the lead actor, it would be fine, but he's just a stunt double. He doesn't get many opportunities to appear on screen, and Chu Xinglan's role isn't much either, only lasting about two episodes, but she's a crucial character throughout the entire series.
"Director, should we follow the original script or continue acting this way?" the cinematographer asked.
Director Huang scratched his head in a dilemma. The script he had chosen was certainly good, but its only drawback was that it felt too conventional if it followed the script exactly. The slight change he made just now gave him a sudden inspiration. He felt that this would better show the complexity and diversity of human nature, and make the emotional clashes more impactful. This also foreshadowed the male lead's later madness.
Director Huang suddenly had a brilliant idea: how about this, let the stunt double play the male lead's early scenes first, and if the audience is not satisfied, then use AI to swap faces.
"Alright, the stunt double can continue acting."
"No, director, what about me? I'm the lead actor!" the male actor complained.
He's already on stage, so why make him step down? Besides, he's the lead actor. What's the point of having a stunt double play his early scenes? Are they going to replace him?
"Teacher Zeng, don't be angry. Don't you have a variety show that's about to start filming? Go film over there first, and I'll call you when things are done here." Director Huang said with a smile.
Director Huang wields considerable influence in the entertainment industry. Every TV series and movie he directs is a blockbuster. Filming in his production crew is something many people dream of. Since he's already showing such deference to me, refusing would make me seem ungrateful.
"Alright then, Director Huang, don't forget me."
The male actor had no choice but to leave the scene dejectedly.
"Okay, continue, get the props on the actors," Director Huang called out. He walked over to Lu Yuan and asked, "Can you continue acting?"
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. Although he was just a stunt double, what he really wanted was to act. However, he had no resources and could only debut as a stunt double. He looked at Chu Xinglan and suddenly felt grateful to this new actor. If it weren't for him, he would have always been a stunt double and would never have been able to appear on screen for the first time. So he cherished this opportunity.
"Director, no problem."
"On your marks, begin!"
When Director Huang yelled "Action!", the cameras started clicking, capturing micro-expressions on their faces.
Chu Xinglan was surprised that Director Huang would change the lead actor because of a casual remark she made. Although it was only temporary, she was still very surprised, especially seeing Director Huang's meticulous manner.
Chu Xinglan felt that she couldn't ruin Director Huang's hard work because of her personal reasons. She composed herself and truly took the film seriously.
