At that mont, the film crew zood the cara further away from Chu Xiang, leaving the audience wondering whether Chu Xiang was satisfied or heartbroken by this regretful outco. Even though she was not outwardly showing her emotions, she didn’t seem to harbor any sort of hatred either. In fact, she seed to be more anxious instead and looked to be covered in cuts and bruises all around her body. Furthermore, she had even personally destroyed the last of her connection with her husband that was never ant to be. All of this was done to allow her to preserve her own life and identity. From then on, she would remain as herself, the beautiful Xuan Ruo.
Rendered speechless, the screenwriter pulled on Director Lee with great excitent. “She’s indeed Xuan Ruo! She’s the Xuan Ruo that I initially pictured in my mind. Actually, no… she’s even better than what I imagined! Chu Xiang is amazing! That’s exactly how Xuan Ruo would have reacted in this situation! Without a doubt, Xuan Ruo is definitely my favorite character throughout the entire show. Director Lee, you must not cut any of her scenes. Chu Xiang, keep up the good work. Isn’t her character absolutely amazing?”
“Why would I even think about cutting off her scenes after witnessing such a performance? Instead, we should be working on fine-tuning the scenes and further improving her character.”
“I will do just that when I get ho tonight as I have achieved a sudden burst of enlightennt today!”
At this point, Director Lee’s tensed heart had relaxed completely as he called Chu Xiang over to take a look at the recording. “Your performance was absolutely perfect! As a matter of fact, you’ve surpassed all of my expectations. It seed as if you were completely possessed by the character herself. Xiao Chu, tell … just how you were able to encapsulate Xuan Ruo’s entire character so well in a single scene?”
Intrigued by the topic of the conversation, the screenwriter shifted her gaze towards Chu Xiang, waiting for her answer.
“Well… I figured that Xuan Ruo would have lost her mind and turned to the dark side after experiencing such betrayal from her husband. From my perspective, a character like her would never waver when making important decisions. Instead, she would follow through with what she knows she should do. She doesn’t seem to be soone who bases her identity solely on her love life. By making her resolve, she would leave not a single connection binding her to the past. Just as one should properly love their partner in a relationship, they should also end things properly when the ti cos. Besides, if soone betrays you, you should definitely get back at them a thousandfold and give them a taste of their own dicine.”
Looking at Chu Xiang, Director Li suddenly felt an indescribable feeling. He finally understood how Cheng Jie felt when he stumbled backward in the previous take and why he was so imrsed in the act. When Chu Xiang explained what it ant to be her character, it really did seem as if she was the person herself. Furthermore, the scene where Chu Xiang struck down on her womb would certainly have a huge impact on the viewers as even he couldn’t help but feel his blood run cold.
Director Lee let out a soft sigh and laughed. “Alright, I can tell that you are able to understand this particular character at a profound level and prepared yourself thoroughly for this act. From the looks of it, we’ll be able to finalize this show in no ti. Since everyone seems to be in a good mood today, why don’t we take a short breather and shoot several scenes all at the sa ti in the next take?”
Nodding her head, Chu Xiang looked at the screenwriter with a strange expression, wondering why he was staring at her so attentively.
With sparkling eyes, the screenwriter walked towards her. “Chu Xiang, can I add you on WeChat? I wish to have a discussion with you later on regarding Xuan Ruo’s character.”
“Of course. Xiao Tao, could you bring over my phone?” Only after adding each other on WeChat and having a short conversation did Chu Xiang finally go towards the makeup area.
No matter what anyone said, one could easily tell that Chu Xiang had once stood at the peak of the entertainnt industry. Even after making her coback, her popularity was in no way inferior to what she had before. As one of the top-ranking female celebrities, she naturally had the entire makeup room all for herself. While she was looking through the rest of the script, her makeup artist was on the side fixing up her makeup on her behalf. Tis like these would always serve as a mont of tranquility for her.
Out of curiosity, her makeup artist asked, “Chu Xiang, have you already read the script prior to the shoot? You seed to be quite familiar with it.”
“That’s not the case. I’ve only received and read the script for the first ti today. Initially, I thought that I would be given two days to practice before actually acting the scenes out. I never expected to shoot the scenes so soon.”
Her makeup artist gasped. “In that case, your ability to morize lines is amazing! You didn’t ss up a single ti just now. Aside from that, your performance was phenonal! I reckon the viewers will be moved to tears upon watching the scene as it was difficult to bear even for .”
Chu Xiang chuckled slightly. Had she been assigned any other modern character, she would definitely have a much more difficult ti understanding them. Telling her to act as a female magic cultivator, on the other hand… it may as well be telling her to act as herself. After all, not only had she stood in and experienced the sa situation as Xuan Ruo, but she had even been a cultivator once in her previous life. She didn’t even need to think before putting on the act.
