“Ready, Action!”

No one paid any more attention to Zhang Yan. Director Zheng was busy filming the other people’s scenes.

Jiang Zhi accompanied Lu Mian in the costume room to change. She lowered her head and marked out a few lines from the script, reminding him of the points he needed to pay attention to when performing.

After Jiang Lu finished filming the commercial, she returned to the production team. When she saw how serious the two of them were in the scene, she could not help but mock them.

“They’re just supporting characters. Do they need to waste so much time on two lines in this scene? Working with amateurs is such a headache!”

Jiang Zhi was studying the plot. When she saw Jiang Lu’s “Professional” behavior when it came to ordering makeup artists to beautify herself, she was speechless.

This scene was the part where Jiang Lu and Lu Mian’s characters shone the most in “Beacon”!

“Beacon” was a huge movie that emphasized both power and emotion. In the early stages, the plot emphasized power and intrigue. In the later stages, the princess played by Jiang Lu had to go through hardships to mature after the fall of the country. Then, she had to join hands with the male and female protagonists to embark on the journey of restoring the country.

In today’s scene of the fall of the country, Lu Mian played the role of the prince who died saving the princess. Jiang Lu needed to feel the pain in order to make the audience sympathize.

But now, she was focused on how to show her most beautiful side in front of the camera?

Jiang Zhi sneered. Hearing Director Zheng’s urging, she brought Lu Mian to the shooting location.

The extras were to lay on the ground for half a day, playing corpses. The special effects team set up a green screen so that they could take pictures in the later stages. Everything was ready.

Lu Mian was wearing armor and half a short arrow protruded from his chest. He fell into Jiang Lu’s arms.

Director Zheng instructed the cameraman to push the camera into orbit and capture a close-up of Jiang Lu. She hugged Lu Mian and looked at his face, but she could not bring any emotion into it…

“Cut!”

Director Zheng shouted in dissatisfaction. He had no choice but to ask the makeup team’s teacher to give Jiang Lu some eye drops so that it would be easier to capture her tears.

Jiang Lu took a deep breath. The next second, her mind went blank and she forgot her lines.

“What the hell is going on! If you have such an attitude, don’t shoot anymore!”

Seeing that the sun was about to set and the cold wind was blowing in the prairie night, the extras could not hold on any longer. Director Zheng held the walkie-talkie in anger and roared, scolding Jiang Lu in front of everyone.

“As an actress, you can’t even remember two lines! You might as well give the opportunity to someone else!”

Ever since her debut, under the protection of the Jiang family, Jiang Lu had countless good resources that were envied by others. Of course, she did not know how to cherish them.

The industry directors praised Jiang Lu because of her background and family background. However, she slowly forgot the original purpose of acting. Her spirituality and talent were worn away by her daily slacking. Now, she was left with an empty shell and exaggerated physical performance…

Director Zheng criticized her in public, which made Jiang Lu unhappy. She rushed to the monitor and found all kinds of unreasonable excuses.
