Chapter 204: Losing Control
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When she reached the entrance of the teahouse, Yue Qin turned slightly and half of her face fell into the camera. The high-definition camera captured her slightly trembling eyelashes, pursed lips, and unnatural inhalation.
Then, Yue Qin quickly walked out of the teahouse and disappeared from the scene.
Ding Zhi, who was sitting in front of the monitor, felt lost. He did not pull himself out of his immersive state for a long time.
Two minutes later, Lu Zhen walked in from outside. She had become the actress Lu Zhen again, and she no longer had Yue Qin’s aura.
Lu Zhen walked up to Ding Zhi, feeling a little nervous. She had spent the past few days trying to figure out how to act out the scene. In the end, she had boldly tried a new method. She had decided to act out the scene in a “convergent” manner.
In her previous life, Lu Zhen had used all kinds of gazes, expressions, and actions to express Yue Qin’s psychological changes when she watched a show. Ding Zhi did not say that it was inappropriate for her to do this, but he always said that she did not do it well enough.
Hence, before filming started, Lu Zhen began to think about how to complete this scene better.
In the past few days, Lu Zhen had read this scene in the original work more than ten times. After watching it too many times, she indeed made some new discoveries and comprehensions.
The original novel said that Yue Qin came to the teahouse to listen to opera every month, but it did not say how long this habit lasted. Lu Zhen guessed that Yue Qin’s habit must have lasted for a long time. Perhaps she had been coming to the teahouse to listen to opera since she married Zheng Xiong.
If that was the case, there was one problem that had to be paid attention to.
Yue Qin had already come to listen to many shows. When she first listened to the shows, she might have had a deep feeling in her heart, but she had listened to so many shows. Even if her heart would still be touched, she would not show it on the surface.
Therefore. Yue Qin’s true state in this scene was a little inclined to numbness.
However, Yue Qin was not completely numb. If she was completely numb, she could choose not to come and listen to the show. Why did she have to feel that sorrow and helplessness again and again?
Lu Zhen felt that she should master the balance between numbness and touch. She wanted the audience to feel that it was a habit for Yue Qin to come here to listen to the show.
Habits were not new, so Yue Qin’s emotional feedback was not frequent. Most of the time, she listened to the show quietly.
However, the past had an unforgettable impact on her, so no matter how many times she listened to “Broken Glass”, she could not get over it. She was still brooding over it, and she had not completely walked out of the past. Yue Qin was not someone who had forgotten the past.
Therefore, Lu Zhen used another method to deal with Yue Qin’s movement after listening to the scene. Before leaving, she gave the camera a side profile. It was an expression that she wanted to endure but did not know how to.
When she was listening to the climax of the show, Yue Qin did not have many emotions. She was just a little lost in thought. However, when she was about to leave the teahouse, she still could not completely endure the emotions that surged in her heart like a tide. In that short two seconds, she lost control.
This kind of delayed loss of control reflected Yue Qin’s psychological state even more.
Lu Zhen stood in front of Ding Zhi and saw that he had been watching the replay on the monitor. She did not say anything.
If Ding Zhi says her idea of acting is wrong, she will continue to make adjustments Her understanding of Yue Qin was much deeper than before. She was no longer the confused and unconfident actor from her previous life. She was more confident in acting this role.
Ding Zhi watched Lu Zhen’s performance twice and finally looked away from the monitor, staring at Lu Zhen.
“Director Ding, is there a problem?” Lu Zhen asked humbly.
Ding Zhi took a deep breath and looked at Lu Zhen with a complicated expression. “Come with me.”
Lu Zhen’s heart skipped a beat. He wanted to talk to her alone? Did Ding Zhi think that her acting method was not good? In her previous life, Ding Zhi said that she had a problem in person. Was he going to save her some face in this Lu Zhen followed Ding Zhi out the door. Looking at their backs, Xu Rui couldn’t help but smile as if she was watching a show.
Ding Zhi definitely felt that Lu Zhen’s performance was too plain!
Xu Rui did not look at the monitor much. She looked at Lu Zhen, who was in the back row of the audience, from afar. She felt that Lu Zhen was just a vase and could not even show the most basic emotions.
Xu Rui turned her head and saw Xi De, who was beside her, holding his chin as if he was deep in thought. Xu Rui could not help but ask, “Teacher Xi, what’s wrong?
Xi De was a little unhappy that his thoughts were interrupted) but he still replied, “It’s fine. I’m thinking about the scene just now..”
