Chapter 605: Added Scenes

“By the way, where are you celebrating the New Year this year? Aren’t you going home?” Lu Zhen hesitated for a few seconds and asked.
In Lu Zhen’s impression, Song Jia had never mentioned his family. She didn’t know what his family’s situation was like. Was it a bad relationship? Or was there something else going on?
Song Jia was silent for a while. “I’ll stay in the capital.”
Lu Zhen wanted to ask about Song Jia’s family, but she held back the thought.
The two of them were already very close now. Since Song Jia had yet to tell her, he must have his own reasons. It was better for her not to force him to ask. When he was willing to tell her, he would naturally tell her.
The scene that was going to be filmed the next day was a sing and dance scene, Lu Zhen did not have any close-up shots, but she had to rehearse with the others the entire time. This scene was more important. It took an entire day to rehearse alone, and there were many actors involved.
Most of the content of this scene was the inner monologue of different dancers in the nightclub. It was a little like a group scene. The female lead’s scenes were not particularly important.
Melissa wiped the sweat from her forehead after filming one of her scenes and asked the makeup artist to touch up her makeup. After that, she went over to Orel and spoke to him.
Orel shook his head as if he didn’t agree. Melissa looked in Lu Zhen’s direction and continued to chat with Orel for a few more minutes. Orel’s expression became more and more serious. He also looked in Lu Zhen’s direction and frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Zhen naturally sensed their gazes and felt a little uneasy. What did Melissa say to Orel? Why did he look so serious all of a sudden? Did she not behave well just now? However, the camera did not stop on her at all just now. She was just a backdrop that flashed across the camera. She should not have made any mistakes, right?
Just as Lu Zhen was feeling a little nervous, Orel waved at her.
Lu Zhen walked to Orel’s side. “What’s wrong, Director?”
Orel sized up Lu Zhen. After a pause, he asked, “Can you dance alone?”
Lu Zhen was stunned. She felt like she had been hit by a pie that had fallen from the sky. Her heart raced as she tried her best to maintain her calm tone.
She replied, “Yes.”
Orel seemed unconvinced, but he said, “Get ready. I might add a solo scene for you.”
“Okay.” Lu Zhen did not know what to say. She was still a little stunned. Why did he suddenly want to add to her scenes? Was it because of what Melissa and Oriel had discussed? What exactly had the two of them talked about?
Every actor’s solo dance scene was filmed alone. There was no need for the other actors to cooperate on the spot. After Lu Zhen finished filming the dance scene, she waited quietly on the set.
She waited until eight o’clock in the evening. It was time for dinner. The other actors had already gone to eat, but Lu Zhen did not dare to leave. She was afraid that Orel would tell her that the additional scenes were just a spur of the moment. What if Orel forgot about her if she left?
Although she was very hungry, Lu Zhen still stood upright on the set, looking ready at any time.
Finally, Orel called her name.
“I’ll shoot your scene tomorrow. Go back and practice this part of the lyrics. I won’t give you much time tomorrow. If you don’t perform well, your scene will be canceled. Do you understand?” Orel said coldly.
Lu Zhen nodded vigorously. “Alright, I understand.”
She returned to the hotel with the score and asked the attendant to bring her some simple food. Then, she began to practice. She video called the vocal teacher and asked her to correct some of the pronunciation details.
After practicing for less than two hours, Lu Zhen stopped. She did not dare to practice for too long. That might cause her throat to be overly tired. If her throat was not in good condition the next day, it would be terrible.
Lu Zhen took two sips of hot water. After washing up, she lay down. She briefly told Song Jia what had happened during the day. Song Jia was quite happy for her. Although Orel’s movie might not cause much of a stir in the international film industry, it was a good thing that Lu Zhen could have more scenes in the movie.
“Then rest early and perform well tomorrow,” Song Jia encouraged.
Lu Zhen nodded vigorously. “l will!” She was glad that she did not despise a small character like the Oriental Dancer back then. After coming to the production team, she actually had a new opportunity..
