The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1844 Gears Meet
Bright, confident, and flamboyant.

Its vibrant spirit is like the summer sun shining on the treetops, scorching and dazzling, surging and bursting forth with vitality amidst the lush greenery.

With just a glance, it landed on Scarlett's heart. If she wasn't careful, her rhythm would falter, she'd miss a beat, and her breathing would become erratic.

He believed her.

Such a simple sentence was far more difficult than imagined, because even she didn't believe in herself, but he still believed in her firmly, like the North Star guiding the way in the long dark night. He stumbled and chased after her, running faster and faster, and then suddenly pounced on her.

puff.

My heart skipped a beat again. The second time in a row.

She could clearly hear the chaotic and surging heartbeat above her eardrums, growing louder and louder. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she awkwardly looked away.

This is not her.

She is always generous, brave, and straightforward. She likes what she likes and dislikes what she dislikes. She is poised, upright, and never hides her true self. She dares to love and hate, and her stance is clear. She is never shy or reserved because she believes that facing oneself honestly is the key to happiness.

However, Anson was always different.

Every time I stand in front of Anson, things change. The good things take on a halo, the difficult things seem less important, and the ups and downs can become an experience in life. Even the confusion and bewilderment of youth can be a way of experiencing life.

She could feel the beauty and joy of life in him.

Knock knock knock, knock knock knock.

My heart was beating wildly.

Scarlett's eyes darted around, and she couldn't help but try to hide her true self.

Anson noticed and leaned forward slightly. "What's wrong? Are you feeling my charm? Be careful, you might fall for me next time."

Scarlett couldn't help but complain, "Are all men in Hollywood like this, thinking they have unparalleled charm and can make a woman pregnant with just one look?"

Even so, I couldn't help but smile.

Anson shook his head. "That's not a Hollywood man, that's God."

Scarlett burst out laughing. "Then I wasn't wrong, because that's what they think. They control the world, right?"

Anson: "Oh no, the truth has been exposed."

Scarlett laughed, "Haha. Hahaha." She continued, "You should stop joking, because Julianne is thinking about how to torture you right now."

Anson: "They all thought they had no feelings for each other anymore, but you know what, they were both wrong."

Scarlett: "Partly. They were all wrong, but they were also all right. They all believed they had forgotten the past until the memories of the past came together and they realized that they didn't know themselves at all."

Anson said, "That's why humans are always so complex. We should understand ourselves before we try to understand others."

As they talked back and forth, their conversation naturally turned to their roles, and it's clear that they're getting into character and understanding their characters better than ever.

It doesn't originate from a script, nor does it rely on dialogue. Instead, it truly creates a completely realistic character. Their words, actions, ways of thinking, and behavioral logic are all taking shape. In the end, the character will have vitality, and every move will naturally reveal itself.

Scarlett glanced at Anson, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself—

Just like Julianne faced Theo.

But in the end, she swallowed her words. Scarlett was the first to notice Alfonso standing to the side. "Director, so how was that scene?" Alfonso had been standing to the side, diagonally behind Anson, watching the two of them with great interest. He liked the dialogue between the two actors, which carried a kind of exploration that blurred the boundaries of reality. Outside of filming, the tacit understanding between the characters was also growing.

Scarlett noticed this at that moment, and Alfonso cleared his throat, looking slightly reserved as he tried to cover it up.

Wait, why is he trying to cover it up?

Alfonso had no answer either, and quickly changed the subject, "Okay. No problem. That scene was excellent, you all worked hard."

"Anson, you've worked hard."

"Scarlett, you've worked hard."

Alfonso looked at the two actors with genuine sincerity, engaging in eye contact to communicate. Although he didn't say anything directly, you could feel his excitement and joy.

"Next, we need to shoot shots from different angles. You all need to stay focused like this. I won't disturb you any longer. Let's get started right away, shall we?"

Anson held up the half-eaten cigarette in his hand. "Looks like I need to light another one. I'm ready, but the focus now should be on Emmanuel, shouldn't he catch his breath?"

Before he could finish speaking, Anson could feel a sinister gaze silently looking at him, piercing his spine.

Alfonso and Scarlett both had strange expressions.

Anson, "Emmanuel is looking at me, isn't he?"

Alfonso nodded slightly.
Anson: "That means he's ready. I think we can continue filming, no problem."

Scarlett couldn't help herself and chuckled softly.

Filming continued, with barely two minutes of respite.

Not only Emmanuel, but Anson and Scarlett also suffered greatly from the intense and focused filming process, facing severe physical and mental challenges.

In a sense, making movies is indeed a physically demanding job, even if it's not an action movie.

The film crew was no exception. After a brief party and a brief revelry, they had to get back to the action and continue filming the scene they had just filmed. Even though the long take was already perfect, filmmaking is an art of editing and staging, and they had to repeat the same scene again.

It felt a little strange.

However, it's not entirely the same; at least the atmosphere has changed.

Previously, the atmosphere on set was relaxed, but when it came to discussing specific tasks and filming progress, one or two people still couldn't relax. Although the crew's progress is not currently behind schedule, they face severe pressure every day and must maintain a high level of focus.

After this scene, the entire crew seemed to have found a perfect point of convergence. Like gears, after a period of adjustment, they finally meshed together perfectly. It wasn't just the actors and cinematographers; that tacit understanding permeated every aspect of the crew, creating a completely different atmosphere.

The subsequent filming went smoothly and effortlessly, like flowing water, and the gloom and pressure that had been hanging over us all along quietly dissipated.

When I returned to filming, my whole demeanor subtly changed; I became more confident and composed, as if I had finally found my rhythm.

This scene, which marks Julianne's first appearance, was not particularly difficult but was crucial. The filming results far exceeded expectations and brought a pleasant surprise.

This smooth operation continued, and subsequent filming became much more fluid.

Finally, the "Children of Men" crew got on track and started operating at high speed, with filming progressing rapidly. The previous stumbling and faltering feeling had completely disappeared, and confidence was gradually being built up and confirmed. Even when facing highly difficult scenes later on, the crew was already prepared.
