Capítulo 1474: Chapter 1465: The Heart of the Drama (Part 11)
After finishing a scene, although she was the more flamboyant one, she always felt—her rhythm was led by Xia Siyu.
It was strange, because she was part of the energy team, while Xia Siyu entered the scene unhurriedly, sat down, poured tea, and spoke softly without any imposing aura. Yet, she constantly felt as if she was being guided through the performance by her.
She had experienced this feeling before, early in her career, acting opposite a seasoned actor. The opponent would lead her throughout the scene, taking her along for the flight. However, at that ti, she could sense the strong aura from the opponent, along with the disdain when she missed a beat. It was nothing like Xia Siyu, who quietly influenced her, only revealing the influence after the scene was done, as if she had just been led through it by her.
No, she had to reassess the situation.
The next scenes still involved both of them, and upon entering, she could feel that Xia Siyu’s presence had slightly shifted. Her voice was sowhat husky, and there seed to be a bit more lancholy between her brows. Has she finally realized she was being overshadowed?
The two prepared thoroughly and finished a scene, and Bo Yan called “cut,” then summoned her. She thought Bo Yan would criticize Xia Siyu again, but instead, Bo Yan scolded her: “This scene is not the sa as the previous one. In this scene, Gu Ba Grandma’s lover has a conflict with her, so her emotions need to be a bit unstable.”
Filming a movie seldomly follows chronological order, which is like a play, shot from beginning to end. Usually, scenes are shot out of order; whichever set is ready is the scene they shoot. It was only after Bo Yan pointed this out that she realized Xia Siyu’s scene had just involved a quarrel with the male lead, and the girl she adopted was also taken away, leaving her disheartened. No wonder she even deliberately husked her voice for the lines.
Is it that ticulous? It’s not difficult for a makeup artist to create a dull makeup look, but her mood, actions, and tone, all changed just slightly. Isn’t it too detailed?
She turned to look at Wei Jingjing. The lollipop that Wei Jingjing had handed to Xia Siyu was gone.
Eating too much candy can make your throat hoarse!
No wonder Xia Siyu also gave her candy earlier; her next scene required emotional instability, so slightly husking her voice wasn’t an issue.
This… this is terrifying. She knew Xia Siyu’s acting had made a breakthrough, but Li Yiru never imagined it would reach this level!
Li Yiru’s scenes were completed in the afternoon. While she had no more scenes in the evening, she chose to stay on set to continue observing Xia Siyu’s situation.
Tonight, her scenes involved Bo Yan. Finally, the male and female leads were to appear together, with the stage director invited to guide them. The dynamics between them had subtly changed; to satisfy the public’s interest in shipping the couple, it was made slightly more ambiguous. In the original, it was utterly platonic, akin to Plato’s love, lacking even a hint of closeness.
But despite the ambiguity, they still didn’t hold hands or kiss, let alone progress further.
Li Yiru had read “Storm”. The scenes where these two acted together exploded with mature charisma, especially the long, unbroken ship scene that stirred the audience’s emotions. The scene needed that sense of unspoken yearning and distant closeness, which would be difficult to portray without a certain level of skill or sexual tension.
Yet, when the director shouted “action,” Bo Yan stepped through that door, lifted his gaze, and with that first glance, the feeling was just there.
