Huayu: Just entered the industry, and was pursued by a young actress.

Director Kong then looked at the egret:

"The focus of this scene is mainly on Zhou Jin, but your role is also very important. You need to be restrained throughout and not steal the spotlight. Your eyes should express the joy of successful revenge and a touch of sadness."

Zhou Jin and Bai Lu both nodded.

Seeing that all departments were ready, Director Kong walked in front of the camera and shouted, "All departments, get ready! Scene 3, action!"

Inside a grand hall.

Zhou Jin, dressed in a dark red prince's robe, sat alone in the main hall, holding an ancient book, looking lonely and dejected.

The door opened, and Qin Banruo, played by Bai Lu, slowly walked in.

Zhou Jin raised his eyes, his voice dejected yet tinged with authority: "I don't want to hear any sounds from the court. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

The egret didn't leave; instead, it closed the door and knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, you cannot give up. You are carrying not only your own ambitions, but also the hopes of our entire Hua tribe."

Having already assumed the role of Prince Yu, Zhou Jin's anger intensified.

He knew that Qin Banruo was outwardly assisting him, but secretly she was trying to restore the Hua tribe.

He had feelings for Qin Banruo, so he had been enduring it all, even now that she was still mentioning the Hua tribe.

Zhou Jin slammed the book in her hand onto the table.

Enraged by his lack of self-respect, he said, "I'm already being lenient by not sending you to the Ministry of Justice for punishment. How dare you mention the Hua tribe to me?"

Holding up Princess Linglong's handwritten letter, Bai Lu said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I only learned today that His Majesty actually has the blood of the Hua tribe flowing in his veins."

Zhou Jin trembled, both shocked and angry, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The plot continues to unfold.

After reading Princess Linglong's handwritten letter, Prince Yu, played by Zhou Jin, trembled slightly and the letter fell to the ground.

Zhou Jin realized that all her previous efforts, struggles, and everything was a lie.

The entry for "[Deep Affection]" has been activated.

The term "emotional outburst" is activated.

At that moment, a tear slowly rolled down his cheek, and his eyes were instantly filled with emotions—complexity, sadness, pain, and despair.

Zhou Jin stood up, her eyes filled with despair as she murmured to herself, "So, from the moment I was born, I could never become the crown prince."

"Because you would never allow a son with Han Chinese blood to inherit the throne."

"How ridiculous, Father! I never intended to disobey you!"

Zhou Jin roared, the despair in her eyes gradually turning into hatred.

Bai Lu, who was acting opposite Zhou Jin, should have been showing smugness and a touch of sadness after successfully avenging herself, but after seeing Zhou Jin's desperate and hateful eyes, her eyes were filled with pity and heartache.

She was drawn into it.

At this moment, Bai Lu completely forgot that she was acting and forgot her lines. Overwhelmed with emotion, a tear naturally flowed down her cheek.

Looking at Zhou Jin, her eyes were full of reluctance and heartache.

She slowly opened her arms, wanting to hug and comfort her, but then she remembered that she had deliberately told the truth, which led to all of this, so she lowered her arms with mixed feelings.

Behind the monitor.

Director Kong Sheng had been clenching his fists nervously ever since Zhou Jin got into character.

Especially after seeing Zhou Jin's eyes filled with despair and heartache, Director Kong slapped his thigh excitedly.

The effect was far better than he had imagined.

Some classic scenes in movies and TV shows have been classics since the moment they were created.

Director Kong was thrilled. He had a feeling that Zhou Jin's portrayal of Prince Yu would be a huge hit!

"Card."

Director Kong Sheng excitedly called for a stop.

"Director Kong," Zhou Jin took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions that had just welled up inside her, and asked with a smile, "How was this part?"

"Good, very good." Director Kong smiled gently and praised generously, "I even think this will become a famous scene in a movie or TV series."

Bai Lu paused for a moment, looked at Zhou Jin, and still felt a pang of heartache and tears welling up in her eyes.

After a while, she snapped out of character and said somewhat apologetically, "Director Kong, I'm sorry, I forgot my lines just now."

Director Kong didn't care at all, and instead praised, "It's okay. I didn't expect your distressed look to be so perfect, and your crying scene was so natural, even though it wasn't in the script."

"This is your normal performance, it's not abrupt at all. Besides, Qin Banruo and Prince Yu are a couple, so your performance fits the character perfectly."

The egret breathed a long sigh of relief.

Actually, Zhou Jin's performance just now...

Not only did director Kong Sheng see it, but all the other actors present, even the lead actors Hu Ge and Liu Tao, saw it too. The way they looked at Zhou Jin had completely changed.

This powerful ability to infect emotions.

They watched helplessly as the despair in Zhou Jin's eyes slowly turned into overwhelming hatred.

Since ancient times, the entertainment industry has followed a dog-eat-dog world, where looks are merely a stepping stone.

Only acting skills can earn the respect of most people.

Clearly, Zhou Jin's acting skills had just surprised them.

Zhou Jin and Bai Lu watched the replay of their performance on the monitor.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Jin looked at the director and suggested, "Director, I'd like to add some romantic scenes between me and Qin Banruo."

Director Kong pondered for a moment.

In fact, he had this consideration in mind as well.

Zhou Jin's appearance was simply too outstanding, coupled with her acting skills that surprised him greatly.

But Director Kong still had some concerns. Zhou Jin's acting skills were definitely good enough, but Bai Lu's acting skills were somewhat lacking.

Looking at the egret, he casually asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Bai Lu was pleasantly surprised, but took a deep breath and said jokingly, "When our Nirvana in Fire airs, it would be unrealistic if Qin Banruo wasn't even a little moved by such a handsome Prince Yu."

Director Kong smiled upon hearing this, looked at Zhou Jin and nodded slightly, "I will consider it."

Although there are pre-written scripts before filming begins, not all directors strictly follow the script.

The actor who shines more gets more screen time, and the actor with worse acting skills gets less screen time.

In some TV dramas, the second female lead's scenes almost match the first female lead's after filming.

Sometimes, the scenes featuring the third female lead are cut short during filming.

After this scene was filmed, during the subsequent filming process...

Director Kong asked the screenwriter to revise the script and appropriately increase the romantic scenes between the two characters.

But to everyone's surprise, the results were better and better the more they were filmed.

Zhou Jin seems to have a strange ability to help her co-stars get more immersed in their roles.

Moreover, Bai Lu was incredibly affectionate when acting opposite Zhou Jin; even a layman could see the affection in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Jin.

Only family members know their own affairs.

Rookie Bai Lu always felt a little guilty whenever the director praised her; she didn't have that kind of acting skill.

She genuinely fell in love with Zhou Jin, and when she played Qin Banruo, it was entirely a natural performance.

After several scenes, the entire crew witnessed Zhou Jin's acting skills.

Many staff members politely address Zhou Jin as "Teacher Zhou Jin" upon seeing her.

Many actresses have also taken the initiative to seek Zhou Jin's advice on acting skills, and some have even handed her their room keys.

Mencius often expressed great indignation and jealousy about this, while Bailu remained relatively indifferent.

Zhou Jin naturally refused them all.

What a joke! No one is prettier than Yang Mi, and none of them have her "approachability." Trying to sexually harass him is just a pipe dream.

……

hotel.

After taking a shower, Zhou Jin lay in bed, chatting on the phone with Reba.

He just finished a workout at the gym.

During this period, he would go to the gym almost every time he finished filming. With Dilraba and Yang Mi not around, he could only vent his great energy by working out and lifting weights.

This led his fellow cast members to jokingly call Zhou Jin "the blacksmith."

On the other end of the phone, Dilraba happily said, "Brother Jin, filming has finally wrapped up."

Congratulations on wrapping up filming.

"After the wrap-up ceremony tomorrow, I'll come to your hotel to find you, Brother Jin. Did you miss me?"

"Of course I want to."

"Brother Jin, I miss you too."

"Are there any other films or TV series after this one?"

Dilraba said with a hint of grievance, "The role in 'Ban Shu Legend' has been cast, and I'll be joining the production soon. Brother Jin, I still want to spend more time with you."

"I'm also filming, so even if you stay at my hotel all day, we won't see each other very often."

"All right."

Reba said mysteriously, "I have a good friend. I'll bring her to meet you in a few days and introduce her to you."

"She knows about our relationship, aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

"I don't know yet. I'm planning to surprise her. Besides, she knows I like Brother Jin, and she's been helping me with a lot of planning."

Who is it?

"Gulinazha."

"She helped you come up with ideas?"

Zhou Jin's expression was a little strange. She's known in the entertainment industry for being love-obsessed. Is this reliable?
