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

The egret nodded.

"I see."

Following Director Kong's signal, all departments prepared.

And the egrets began their performance.

"Card."

The director paused for a moment and then said, "Start over."

The egret gritted its teeth, picked up its longsword, and continued reciting its lines.

"Card."

"Card."

"Card."

……

Director Kong frowned deeply. No matter how many times Bai Lu was filmed, he could never find the feeling he wanted.

When Bai Lu was acting opposite Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin's performance naturally brought her into better form.

But today's performance is not only a solo act, but also much more challenging.

So the egret kept making mistakes.

After shooting more than a dozen takes, none of which satisfied Director Kong, he sighed softly.

He also knew that, after all, he was a new actor, and his acting skills were a major weakness, which might not be noticeable in his usual acting.

However, once the camera focuses entirely on one person...

His poor acting skills were completely exposed.

Moreover, since this was the last scene, he did not insist on harshly criticizing him.

"White Egret, never mind, you should rest for a while."

"Yes, Director."

The egret nodded somewhat dejectedly.

She had tried her best, but she just couldn't find the right feeling.

Zhou Jin thought for a moment, then looked at the director and said, "Director Kong, how about we film the scene where I commit suicide in prison first? Maybe seeing me commit suicide will make things a little better."

Director Kong pondered for a moment, and he naturally understood what Zhou Jin meant.

Actors sometimes rely not only on their acting skills, but also on their genuine emotions.

Take, for example, the simplest crying scene.

Some actors can't get into character and can't cry at all.

But there's a trick: imagine sad things happening to you, like deceased parents, a puppy that died in a car accident, or when you're heartbroken...

At this point, even the worst actor can still convey the emotions well.

Director Kong nodded slightly.

Zhou Jin said to Bai Lu, "Meng Yan, put yourself in Qin Banruo's shoes, see the feelings and emotions I had when I committed suicide, and then preserve them."

The egret gritted its teeth and nodded.

Soon, Zhou Jin had her makeup done by a makeup artist and then arrived at the makeshift prison.

The scene where Zhou Jin commits suicide in prison is very simple.

Prince Yu learned in prison that his Princess Yu was pregnant. In order to protect his offspring, he committed suicide in prison.

This scene is very similar to the egret's suicide.

There are no lines or many actions required, only the eyes are needed to convey emotion.

The term "[Delicate Eyes]" has been activated.

Zhou Jin's eyes became prominent and delicate, showing his reluctance to leave the world, his guilt towards his wife, his anger towards his father, his despair over the failure of the rebellion, and his regret for Qin Banruo.

In Zhou Jin's last moments before committing suicide, anyone who glanced at her eyes would be drawn in, as if they could read a great deal of emotion.

Without uttering any lines, everyone understands the meaning.

All those eyes dimmed as Zhou Jin committed suicide by banging her head against the wall.

"Card!"

Director Kong excitedly shouted immediately.

"Great, that's wonderful!"

"Even veteran actors might not be able to portray this kind of expressive eye acting."

Bai Lu, who had been watching the whole thing, found tears welling up in her eyes after seeing Zhou Jin's expression.

Even though she knew it was fake, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhou Jin walked over to Bai Lu, handed her a tissue, and said, "Keep this feeling."

"Um."

The egret wiped away its tears.

Soon, filming resumed for the last scene featuring the egret.

Bai Lu recalled the emotional look in Zhou Jin's eyes when she committed suicide.

A tear fell involuntarily.

The grief-stricken and desperate egret slowly drew the long sword from its waist and held it across its neck.

There should be lines for this part in the script.

But Bailu lowered her head at this moment, staring blankly at herself reflected in the longsword, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

In his eyes, there was self-blame, guilt, love, sadness, and despair...

He drew his sword and committed suicide.

They died for love!

"Card!"

Director Kong was surprised that it went so smoothly, and he passed it on the first try.

"Great, you nailed it in one take, especially the look in your eyes when you committed suicide at the end, your eye acting was superb."

Bai Lu, completely immersed in the emotions of grief and despair, filmed the scene of her suicide in just one take.

There's no acting skill involved, it's all just emotion.

……

After changing into casual clothes and removing her makeup, Bai Lu walked out of the film set.

He still seemed somewhat dazed.

As an actor, getting too immersed in a role naturally has the advantage of greatly improving one's acting skills.

However, there are also many downsides, namely, it makes one sensitive and vulnerable.

Of course, another very important point is that feelings can develop between actors while filming.

Many actors who play lovers end up falling in love with each other because they get so into character.

Take the Spider-Man movie trilogy, for example. Every Spider-Man, Parker, falls in love with his lover; there are no exceptions.

Bai Lu stared at Zhou Jin in a daze, as if he were Prince Yu.

Her already red eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

In the drama, Qin Banruo has always felt sorry for Prince Yu, and this feeling has grown deeper and deeper, with her guilt becoming heavier and heavier.

Bai Lu, who has entered the role of Qin Banruo, is also having some difficulty distinguishing between the two characters at this point.

Zhou Jin placed the flowers she had prepared in advance into Bai Lu's arms and said with a smile:

"The egret has finished filming."

Congratulations on wrapping up filming.

"Oh, uh-huh." The egret suddenly realized and took the flower.

Time heals all wounds.

Generally speaking, this situation will gradually disappear over time.

Of course, there's another possibility: if they join another production team and play a couple again, they might "fall in love with someone else."

Bai Lu looked at the flowers in her hand and suddenly said, "Zhou Jin, I like you."

Zhou Jin felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.

How come he's being pursued again?

The last one was Meng Ziyi, the one before that was Li Yitong, the one before that was Dilraba, and the one before that was Yang...

This shouldn't count.

Da Mimi probably wanted to keep him as a sugar daddy, but he didn't accept any money, and their relationship was much closer than that of a sugar daddy/sugar baby arrangement.

Zhou Jin had no choice but to change the subject and ask, "When are you leaving Hengdian by plane?"

"I want to rest for a while. My acting skills are terrible. I plan to go back to Yanjing to study acting properly during this time."

This time, the subject of the filming is Qin Banruo.

If Zhou Jin hadn't constantly guided her and helped her get into character, she wouldn't have been able to complete the filming so smoothly.

"Zhou Jin, let's go see a movie."

"it is good."

The two quickly bought tickets and entered the movie theater.

A very niche horror movie.

The entire movie theater was practically booked out.

Why did Bai Lu choose this movie? Of course, it was not what it seemed.

Bai Lu said, "This handrail is in the way, I'll pick it up."

"Um."

"My hands are a little cold," Bai Lu said, placing her hand in Zhou Jin's.

Zhou Jin held Bai Lu's small hand very naturally.

Warm, soft, and slightly cool.

Unexpectedly, the egret was a bit cold; its little hands were indeed a bit chilly.

Zhou Jin wasn't in the mood to watch the movie; she was focused on playing with the egret's soft little hands, squeezing them every now and then.

Bai Lu spoke again, "Zhou Jin, Reba calls you Brother Jin, so I'll call you Brother Jin too, okay?"

"it is good."

Zhou Jin naturally had no objections.

Dilraba took off her jacket and covered Zhou Jin's thighs with it.

"You're a little cold, let me cover you up."

"this……"

Zhou Jin wasn't actually cold, but since it was out of kindness, she had no choice but to let him cover her up.

"I can't let you hold my hand anymore."

Zhou Jin: "???"

Zhou Jin was puzzled; he didn't understand what Bai Lu was trying to do.

"Brother Jin, I want to give you a gift before I leave."

"What gift?"

The egret nestled affectionately in Zhou Jin's arms and, with a "squeak," unzipped Zhou Jin's shirt.

Just as Zhou Jin was wondering, Bai Lu reached out...

"squeak……"

Another zipper was unzipped.

"This zipper..."

Zhou Jin's eyes widened instantly.
