However, looking at the more than ten pages of lines sent by Gao Fan, Lu
Zhen fell into deep thought again. If it was just routine script preparation, Director Gao Fan did not need to deliberately mention it and let her prepare a few months in advance.
Because reciting lines was a compulsory lesson for professional actors, Lu Zhen’s foundation in lines was not bad. Thinking of Gao Fan’s request for the main leads to learn Hua City language, Lu Zhen suddenly understood something.
Could it be that Gao Fan wanted the main leads to be able to speak in Hua City while reciting their lines in Mandarin?
This sounded a little strange. After all, Mandarin and dialect had completely different accents. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible to fuse two different accents.
Lu Zhen recalled that when the locals in Beijing usually spoke Mandarin, they would habitually read it consecutively and weaken the pronunciation. It sounded like he was speaking Mandarin, but outsiders knew that this person was definitely from Beijing.
What Gao Fan wanted might have the same effect.
As for why Gao Fan did not directly say his true request, Lu Zhen felt that it might be because Gao Fan himself knew that this request was a little high. It was already very difficult to learn how to speak the Hua City language, It also sounded very difficult to integrate the accent of Hua City while speaking Mandarin.
Therefore, Gao Fan could only take a step back and let the actors learn Hua City language as much as possible. During this process, the actors could get closer to their roles.
Lu Zhen did not know if the other actors had understood Director Gao Fan’s real request. Since she had thought of it, she decided to do her best.
Lu Zhen made a plan for herself and stipulated how much time she had to spend practicing Hua City language every day.
When Jiang Fei and Jiang Ce found out that she was going to learn Hua City language, they were quite happy. The two of them said that they could take turns to video call her every day and teach her dialect.
Apart from that, Lu Zhen also followed many local streamers in Hua City on the live- stream software. Some were sweet-looking girls, some were women selling vegetables in the market, some were fashionistas who were dressed exaggeratedly, and some were town teachers. These streamers spoke Mandarin during the live-stream, but they more or less had some Hua City accent.
When Lu Zhen watched these people’s live-stream, she seriously summarized the characteristics of their words. These characteristics made it obvious that they were from Hua City, even if they spoke Mandarin.
Xiaoxiao was extremely emotional when she saw that Lu Zhen was actually so serious about learning Hua Citys language.
“Zhenzhen, to be honest, even if you don’t become a celebrity, with your learning spirit, it won’t be a problem for you to become an academician.” Lu Zhen looked up at her with a smile. “Don’t exaggerate.”
Xiaoxiao leaned against the table. “How am I exaggerating! Seeing you working so hard, as your assistant, I’m really under too much pressure!”
“This is a work requirement. Just complete your work. You don’t have to compare yourself to me.” Lu Zhen pinched her face and comforted her.
After getting busy, Lu Zhen contacted Song Jia even less. They almost didn’t chat much, but Song Jia would send her messages every morning and night.
At first, Lu Zhen would reply politely. Later, she would be so busy that she would not even reply perfunctorily. Sometimes, she would only reply once every few days. Occasionally, when she flipped through their chat records, Lu Zhen even had the feeling that she was being cold and violent towards Song
Jia.
As spring arrived, Wei Ji t s new movie, Under the Cherry Blossom Tree, officially began filming.
The main characters of “Under the Cherry Blossom Tree” were two high school students: Lu Zhen as Mu Yi and Yang Na as Jin Jinga
Both of them had tragic fates and bumpy experiences. After knowing each other, they healed each other by coincidence. In the end, because of heart-wrenching misunderstandings, they left unhealable wounds in each other’s hearts.
After Lu Zhen read the complete script, she was quite surprised. Wei Ji, who looked like a very cold man, could actually write such a delicate emotional script.
“Under the Cherry Blossom Tree” did not have a clear and grand theme. There were only countless undercurrents of emotions and unforgettable “moments Lu Zhen was not sure if this movie would sell well after it was released, because the content of the movie did not look “commercial” at all. But she liked the movie. She liked works that could articulate “feeling.”
The filming of “Under the Cherry Blossom Tree” went more smoothly than expected.
Lu Zhen and Yang Na’s performance surprised Wei Ji. Perhaps it was because the two of them were good friends in reality, so when they acted together, it was very easy for them to act out the feeling of being attracted by each other’s magnetic fields..
