Chapter 306
306 Chapter 306 The Walking corpse
Jiang SE’s steady footsteps suddenly changed. The camera captured a slight change in her expression. Her lips moved, but they were already very dry. Her voice seemed to be a little hoarse. The moment she opened her mouth, she looked like she wanted to laugh or shout ” ZhuZhu “, but her body trembled. Her hideous shoulder bones pushed up her tattered clothes, making her look even more frail. She trembled as she went to where ZhuZhu usually did her homework. She licked her upper lip, took a few deep breaths, and touched the empty space.
There was no table there. It was empty, and nothing could be seen.
Here, the post-production of the movie would be edited, and the fantasy of Zhang Yuqin, who had been reshot, would be inserted into it.
From the moment they started filming this scene, Jiang se had already immersed herself in her own emotions. Her performance began from the details, expressions, and body language. When she was touching the air, Zhao rang could feel the sorrow in her eyes through the camera.
Her performance had improved a lot compared to when she was at Liu Ye’s studio!
Zhao rang was a little surprised and delighted, but he could not help but sigh.
The door to the bungalow was locked. She reached out to take the key from her bag. The camera was aimed at her skinny hand. She took out the key and tried a few times, but the door did not open.
As this scene had been rehearsed before and the camera mainly focused on Jiang se, it passed very quickly.
Zhao rang made a hand gesture, and the next part was a picture of Deng Hai’s return.
After giving instructions to a few actors who were going to appear, the script supervisor had also given instructions to the extras who were going to appear this time. The director made a hand gesture, and the clapperboard sounded.
Zhang Yuqin bent down and lowered her head. The key was inserted into the lock hole. She turned it twice, but it didn’t move.
Someone hesitantly called out to her from behind, ”
“Zhang, Zhang Yuqin?”
There was a reason for her to turn her head. At this moment, Jiang SE’s mind was filled with the scene of Dai Jia turning her head when she was in the women’s prison in the western suburbs.
The first time she saw Dai Jia in the western suburbs women’s prison, she was sitting in the prison dormitory, knitting a sweater. When Jiang se called her name, she turned a deaf ear. It was only when Jiang se called her a second time that she raised her head.
The scene from back then appeared in Jiang SE’s mind countless times.
At this time, the scene of Deng hai and Zhang Yuqin meeting again after their child was in trouble was played out. Deng hai called her hesitantly, but she seemed to not hear him. She just turned the key in her hand mechanically and turned it a few times.
Wei Zuo, who was playing Deng hai, saw that she didn’t turn her head like in the script and felt a little embarrassed.
Zhao rang was frowning at the moment. The scriptwriter sucked in a cold breath and turned to look at Zhao rang. He said in a low voice, ”
“Director Zhao!”
He did not stop her because the camera was still focused on Jiang se. She was so good at acting that she was like a puppet without a soul. Her hands did not stop moving. Behind her, Deng hai looked a little lost.
“Don’t mess around,”
Zhao rang gestured for the scriptwriter to remain silent. The scriptwriter smiled bitterly and returned to his seat.
Wei Zuo finished his lines for the first time. Jiang se did not walk in the direction of the script, and Zhao rang did not stop either. Sweat poured down his head, body, and face. Zhao rang made a hand gesture to signal the camera in charge of the other area to focus on him.
The actress who played Deng Hai’s girlfriend looked around awkwardly. First, she looked at Jiang se. Then, she looked into the distance and even glanced at Wei Zuo.
In the distance, a few extras directors didn’t stop the filming, and the actors were still acting, so they didn’t dare to act rashly.
Wei Zuo did not answer Jiang SE’s question. He could not help but lick his lips. He bit the dry, cracked skin on his lips and called out again, ”
“Zhang Yuqin?”
His awkwardness at this time was very real, and it was also unexpectedly in line with the scene of Deng hai seeing Zhang Yuqin in the film.
It had only been a few months since his daughter’s accident and his wife had left home. When he came back, he happened to see that he had a new life and a new girlfriend.
He called out twice. Jiang se finally moved. She turned around in a daze and saw Deng hai nearby. The two cameras were aimed at them.
“What are you doing here?”
Jiang SE’s calm gaze landed on the woman’s hand that was holding his arm. She was even trying her best to control the muscles on her face as if she was trying to squeeze out a smile. However, it was difficult for her to do so. Her dispirited look was a little uncomfortable to look at.
That feeling of despair was like that of a walking corpse, and it was hard to look at it directly. Wei zuoji, who was standing opposite her, felt it the most.
Summer in the southwest province was very hot. The sun was very strong. As the two of them basked in the sun, they were soon drenched in sweat. However, Jiang SE’s position was perfect. She happened to be hidden in the shadows under the eaves. At first glance, it was as if she was shrouded in a haze that even the sun could not drive away.
That kind of despair seeped out from the inside, making people shiver.
Under her gaze, the actress holding Wei Zuo instinctively lowered her head and subconsciously let go of Wei Zuo’s arm, her whole body shaking.
This kind of instinct was much more exquisite than acting. Zhao rang smiled and gestured for camera one to Zoom in and aim at Jiang se.
“You, are you okay?”
Deng hai stammered. Zhang Yuqin’s expression made him feel a little uncomfortable and a little guilty for some reason. When he asked this question, he felt that he had said something silly.
Her daughter had met with an accident, and there was no news of her until now. How could she be fine?
His guilt was written all over his face. In comparison, Jiang SE’s performance was far better than his. The moment she saw Deng hai, her expression softened a little. It was not a surprise or fear, but an urgent avoidance. It was as if she was instinctively avoiding reality and did not want to see him.
“I heard that the villagers saw you earlier. Are you still looking for ZhuZhu?”
When he mentioned ZhuZhu’s name, Jiang SE’s expression did not change. However, her pupils constricted. She raised her chin, and the veins on her neck popped out. Her collarbone caved in as she breathed. Her breathing came from between her teeth. It showed that she was not as calm as she looked.
Zhao rang realized that he liked Jiang SE’s performance more. She was not hysterical. Instead, she displayed her deepest pain in her abnormal ‘silence’.
Wei Zuo had been completely suppressed by her and was being led away by her performance.
Jiang SE’s performance in this scene was too brilliant. The filming had only started not long ago, but she had performed so well that Zhao rang was moved.
“Yes, I am.”
After Wei Zuo finished speaking, she nodded after a long time and looked at the actress beside Wei Zuo.
“She’s Yingluo.”
A few extras stood in the distance, following the script’s instructions. They either pointed at this side or crossed their arms, looking like they were watching a good show.
